Chapter 139 The Wrath of God
Chapter 139 The Wrath of God
The dark purple beams of light stirred the clouds, making the already gloomy sky even heavier and more oppressive.
The lightning bolts that struck from time to time reached the sea surface, stirring up surging waves and giving this desolate sea a somewhat apocalyptic appearance.
The battle between the Ten Saints, where magic energy collides, will directly affect the surrounding environment, including the sky, the earth, and the air.
That is, the so-called—
A complete upheaval!
On the turbulent sea, a small boat bobs up and down, as if it might be swallowed up by the merciless forces of nature at any moment.
"Even from this distance, I can feel that terrifying, chilling magic. Those two are truly monsters—"
On the ship, Simon stared blankly at the top of the Tower of Paradise, which had been blown to pieces, his heart filled with horror.
After eight years of forbearance, this was the first time he had witnessed Gerald's power so directly.
What surprised him even more was that Erza's partner, Mr. Chase, was able to fight Gerald to this extent!
"The battle seems to have only just begun." Wally was equally shocked.
Miriamina huddled among a pile of dolls, her arms wrapped around her knees, her voice trembling slightly: "I'm so scared, meow, what's going to happen next—"
As a die-hard cat lover, she brought out all the cat plush toys from her room.
Boom!
A loud bang interrupted their worries and panic.
At the top of the shattered Tower of Paradise, two streaks of light, one red and one gold, shot through the falling stones, engaging in a fierce chase and collision in the dark sky.
Chase and Gerald were so fast that Simon and the others could only hear the deafening roar and could not catch a glimpse of them with their naked eyes!
Bang bang bang!
After another high-frequency collision, the golden light and the red dragon phantom separated immediately upon contact, while simultaneously creating a safe distance between themselves and gazing at each other from a distance.
What kind of weird magic is this guy using that's able to forcibly weaken my magic power?!
"And that strange right arm, it feels like the power it's unleashing is getting stronger and stronger—"
Gerald was secretly alarmed.
After a series of intense, brutal punches, he was covered in wounds and was panting heavily.
Having taken several punches and kicks from his opponent, Chase was in no better shape; his chest heaved, and his breathing became erratic.
It wasn't until they actually fought that he truly understood the significance of Geralt's ability to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints through magic and thus become a member of the Council.
If you had faced this guy before Joseph, the outcome would have been very uncertain!
"Chess!!"
"Geralt!!"
After analyzing the situation, Chess and Gerald unleashed their magic once more, roaring as they charged toward each other.
This time, however, it's unclear whether they're overly concerned about Chase's magic or if there's some other conspiracy.
Gerald's movements suddenly became somewhat sluggish and unnecessary, failing to fully utilize his absolute speed advantage. Chase noticed this anomaly, but gave Gerald no chance to catch his breath. Seizing the opportunity, he delivered a powerful blow from Sky Dragon's Iron Fist to Gerald's face, knocking him down from the sky and slamming him heavily into the Tower of Paradise below!
The ground cracked and debris flew everywhere.
Deep within the thick smoke, Gerald stood atop the ruins, spitting out a blood-stained, broken tooth.
Looking at Chess, who was slowly landing opposite him, the blue-haired man's lips curled up into a sinister smile: "Heh, I made it."
The moment the words fell, golden magic circles lit up one after another in the sky above Chase's head, along the battle path Gerald had previously traversed.
The magic circles are connected end to end, outlining the patterns of some kind of mysterious constellation, and radiating a golden light that can illuminate the sky!
"This is an unavoidable, all-around attack. Accept the Seven Stars' punishment, Seven Star Sword!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The golden light, containing terrifying destructive power, fell like a torrential downpour, densely covering the sky and completely blocking all of Chase's escape routes!
"So it really is depicting this magic—"
Chess smiled calmly, took a heavy step forward, and stepped out of a dazzling and cool magic circle.
Knowing Gerald's fighting style well, he had anticipated this and prepared countermeasures in advance.
The pattern of the trap card was revealed from the center of the magic circle; it was none other than the Holy Divine Shield - Mirror Force!
hum!
The energy barrier, radiating holy light, instantly opened up, directly withstanding the onslaught of the Seven Star Sword's fierce storm.
After a brief pause, all the golden light was reflected back!
In the instant Gerald's pupils contracted sharply, a burst of golden light swept over him, exploding in a deafening explosion in the area where he was located!
"Are you kidding me? This is my magic!"
The golden magic circle extended the still-burning flames and billowing smoke.
Gerald looked crazed. He used magic power equivalent to that of the Seven Star Sword to neutralize the reflection of the holy light, and then made a specific hand gesture in front of him.
At the same time, Chase turned slightly to the side and stretched out his right arm forward.
The magic circle rotated with the five fingers spread, and surging magic power gathered into a phantom of a sky dragon with its upper jaw open.
"Celestial Magic: Six-Star Link!"
"Sky Dragon's Lightning Bolt!"
Gerald swung his arm, and six meteors, which had just emerged from the golden magic circle, were precisely locked onto by lightning bolts that were leaping with arcs of light.
Bang bang bang!
The lightning bolt seemed to contain some kind of mysterious and special energy. Although its power did not seem particularly strong, it destroyed all six meteor magics the moment they made contact!
No, to say it was destruction is a bit of a stretch; it felt more like he used magic to erase my magic!
Seeing the golden magic circle vanish into nothingness before it was even fully activated, Gerald's pupils widened involuntarily.
Possessing combat power equal to or even surpassing Dragon Slayer Magic, it can weaken opponents while amplifying its own power, and can even dispel meteors summoned by celestial magic.
Is this something a proper card mage could do?!
Even the usually composed Gerald couldn't help but swear at this moment.
Even he, who had been in the magic world for many years, had never seen such magic before!
"Maybe I really will fall into the hands of this man today. No! What a joke! Eight years of preparation, the free and powerful world of magic is within my grasp, how could I possibly lose!!"
Gerald roared in fury, his magic power surging even higher, golden light flickering, and he became extremely violent.
In order to protect the Tower of Paradise, which had been built over many years, he held back somewhat during the battle just now.
Now, he has only one thought in mind: to completely eliminate Chase, this threat!
We'd do anything, even destroy the entire Tower of Paradise!
"meteor!!"
Jellal's speed after completing "Burst" was terrifying. His golden afterimage was still in place when his real body appeared in front of Chase!
Chase's eyes narrowed slightly, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the view.
boom!
A burst of golden light erupted. Although Chase caught Gerald's attack trajectory and assumed a defensive stance, he was still blasted backward by the high burst of energy that followed, leaving two deep trenches in the ground!
Gerald, bathed in golden light, bowed slightly, ready to press his advantage, but his attention was drawn to something at the edge of his field of vision.
It was a card that was slowly spinning in the air.
A thunderous roar erupted, and a demon covered entirely in white armor suddenly emerged from the card.
The restless power of thunder had already been fully accumulated on his raised arms.
Without any pause, the Demon's Call was unleashed as a Demonic Lightning Bolt at Gerald, who was hastily setting up his defensive array!
Sizzle!
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, its golden light shattering as it fell vertically downwards.
Amidst the surging, dense arcs of electricity, the floor of the Tower of Paradise, as fragile as foam, burst open layer after layer!
Just as he was about to fall to the bottom, Gerald forcibly steadied himself and used a burst of light magic to break free from the demonic lightning.
As he transformed into a streak of golden light and pierced through the layers of holes, the magic power in his right fist was highly concentrated and compressed.
Meanwhile, Chase, who was above, leaped down, his fist also covered by the God-Slaying Magic.
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of falling rubble and steel, two streaks of red and gold rapidly approached each other until their tightly clenched fists collided heavily!
boom! ! !
A tearing storm swept across the entire area, with red and gold energies tearing at each other like ferocious beasts. The resulting circular shockwave annihilated all surrounding buildings, creating a completely blank area!
"Clearly, clearly we were just one step away from ending this tragic world and ushering in an era of ideal freedom!"
Gerald maintained his upward punching stance, his face contorted with the force of the blow, his eyes bloodshot, and roared in a fit of rage, "Why are you stopping me! Chase!!"
His black hair swayed violently in the hurricane, and Chase tensed his right arm, using all his strength to resist Gerald's frenzied attacks.
"If you want a free world, then create it with your own hands! To place your so-called salvation and hope in someone you've never met is nothing but an act of utter cowardice!"
"You have no idea of Zeref's mystery and greatness! I am the chosen one! Yes, only I can hear Zeref's will!"
"Only I know just how captivating that world truly is!!!"
An incorrigible guy—
Seeing Gerald becoming increasingly frantic, Chase abandoned his unreliable verbal attacks.
He sighed softly, then suddenly withdrew his fist and dissipated the surging energy around him.
Gerald was overjoyed, and his golden right fist, now free from resistance, swung forward mercilessly.
In that brief 0.1-second gap, purple and pink light suddenly shone behind Chase.
The Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl appeared simultaneously, their overlapping staffs pointing downwards.
"Black Blast Magic!!"
Just as a look of joy appeared on Gerald's face, his vision was completely taken over by the chaotic black sphere crackling with dark purple electric arcs!
Caught off guard, he was gradually suppressed by the chaotic black sphere as he used celestial magic, falling along the original meteor trajectory and crashing heavily into the bottom of the Tower of Paradise, which he had failed to reach before.
Boom!!!
The enormous energy exploded instantly, causing the entire Tower of Paradise to shake violently!
From the depths of the intense flames, a golden stream of light shot into the sky, sweeping across Chess at incredible speed and reaching even higher altitudes.
The golden light dissipated, revealing Gerald, whose clothes were tattered and whose face was covered in blood.
"Chase, you forced me to do this!"
"Give me just eight more years—no! This time, just three years—and I can build another Tower of Paradise!!"
Gerald's expression was almost maniacal as he rapidly waved his hands, outlining a massive magic circle that exuded an aura of destruction.
The intricate and familiar patterns were exactly the same as those constructed by the Phantom Lord's magical giant.
That's right, it's the magic that the Council of Magic has listed as absolutely forbidden—Purgatory Shatter!
Chase hovered in mid-air, not interrupting Gerald's spellcasting immediately.
The reason is simple: another goal of this trip—to obtain a new card from Gerald—has not yet been achieved.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on this final blow.
Chase took a deep breath, canceled the trap card Magic Cylinder that he had laid beforehand, and chose to confront Gerald head-on to increase the chance of getting a card.
"The Ultimate Technique of Destroying Gods"
As he mobilized all his magical power, the crimson energy began to accumulate and compress, condensing into a miniature version of the Sky Dragon that was almost a physical object.
The Sky Dragon coiled around him, its head tilted back, its majestic eyes fixed on Geralt above.
From its gaping maw, thick and profound breaths continuously emerged—a manifestation of Chase's magical power!
"Let the entire tower turn to ashes! Shattered Purgatory!!!"
"God's Wrath - Superconducting Wave!!!"
Two beams of destructive energy blasted at each other simultaneously.
The residual power that was merely leaked out was enough to grind the Tower of Paradise into dust and obliterate it without a trace!
At the moment of impact, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire sea area, and a shockwave swept in all directions, creating giant waves on the sea surface!
Even Simon and his crew, who had already retreated to a great distance, were affected. The entire ship shook violently, and all the items were overturned, leaving the scene in complete chaos.
"This...this is way too exaggerated! Are they even human?!"
Wally clung tightly to the ship's railing, his square face contorted with fear.
That was a giant tower that took them eight years to build and was nearly a thousand meters tall!
Simon and Hugh were in the same boat, and had to hold on tightly to the hull to keep their balance.
Miliana, a devoted cat lover, couldn't bear to leave her scattered cat plush toys and was accidentally flung away by the storm.
"Miriana!" Simon exclaimed in surprise.
Just as they were about to rush to their aid, they turned around and spotted a small wooden boat that didn't look very sturdy in the surging waves behind them.
Several people were standing on it, and one of them was leaning over the edge, vomiting repeatedly.
Simon's heart skipped a beat.
His long, crimson hair fluttered in the wind, and he saw that profile, etched deep in his memory, unforgettable.
Boom!
Miliana flew out and crashed right into the arms of that beautiful figure clad in steel armor.
"Ouch, it's so hard! It hurts!"
Miriamina covered her forehead and kept breathing on it.
Immersed in pain, she had no time to pay attention to her surroundings.
Erza was stunned when she saw the cute girl who suddenly flew over and "threw herself into her arms".
Images long buried deep in my mind began to surface uncontrollably one after another.
When the blurry yet familiar face completely overlapped with the person in front of me, my eyes were filled with overflowing tears.
"Are you Millie Anna?"
