Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 52: Laxus, instantly killed by Ido! The Twin Peaks of Fairies!

"Thunder Dragon's..."

Laxus, relying on the powerful physique granted by his Dragon Slayer Magic, engaged Erza in close combat. However, he not only failed to gain any advantage but was also subtly suppressed by Erza, who was four years younger than him. He cursed her inwardly as a "super strong woman" and immediately retreated, attempting to defeat Erza with ranged attacks.

"Flying Slash!"

Erza's eyes sharpened. She seemed to have guessed what kind of magic Laxus was planning to use, so she used the swordsmanship that Ido had taught her to deliver a brilliant slash that was powerful enough to split lightning.

"boom!"

The slash was swift and fierce, carving a trench ten centimeters wide, half a meter deep, and twenty meters long into the guild's wooden floor, before crashing headlong into Laxus.

"……roar!"

Laxus's roar was unleashed at that moment.

"boom!"

When Laxus's roar collided with Erza's flying slash, the terrifying lightning was immediately shattered, turning into bolts of electricity that instantly reduced dozens of tables in the guild to charcoal.

"ah?!"

Not far away, Cana gazed at the incredibly powerful Laxus and Erza, her pupils trembling. She thought to herself, "Could my father, Gildarts, be this strong?"

"Erza, you've gotten stronger."

After realizing that even a spell of the Thunder Dragon's Roar level couldn't effectively harm Erza, Laxus's nonchalant expression faded, and his gaze gradually became serious.

"Laxus, you're not weak either."

Erza held her longsword, her gaze fixed resolutely on Laxus not far away, ready to counterattack at any moment. If Laxus made a mistake, it would be the moment she reaped the rewards of victory.

"hehe."

"You're saying I'm not weak either?"

"That's interesting!"

"Then let me show you this trick!"

Laxus sneered, his eyes sharp as lightning, and violent magic swirled around him. With a wave of his hand, a magic circle with a golden dragon head appeared above his head. He reached out and grabbed the magic circle, and a sharp Thunder Halberd materialized in his hand.

"Take this!"

"Thunder Dragon Halberd!"

As Laxus spoke, he hurled the Heavenly Halberd, formed from countless bolts of lightning, fiercely toward Erza.

"Passed down by my father... Divine Avoidance."

Erza's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and the magic power and materialized willpower (Haki) within her body surged wildly toward her arms and extended toward the longsword she held in her hands.

As Erza swung her sword down with all her might, a crimson slash flew toward the halberd thrown by Laxus.

"This is bad!"

"If these two spells collide, the entire guild hall will be doomed."

Not far away, Wakaba and Macao, who had been watching the spectacle, were startled when they noticed that the magic used by Laxus and Erza was clearly beyond the level of a sparring match. Cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

"boom!"

Just as Laxus's all-out Thunder Dragon Halberd and Erza's strike, which gathered all her strength, were about to collide, Ido appeared between them without anyone noticing.

He shattered Erza's slash with a single hand, as if swatting a fly, and then caught the Thunder Dragon Halberd thrown by Laxus with a gentle squeeze, instantly crushing it.

"Alright, let's end the game here."

"If we keep fighting, the patriarch will fight me to the death."

Ido stood between Laxus and Erza, glancing at the guild destroyed by the aftermath of their battle. He sighed helplessly, already imagining Old Ma returning to find the guild in such a sorry state, clinging to his leg and weeping.

Old Ma: "Id, my money! My money!!"

"Ha ha."

"Id, you're finally out."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Today is the day I defeat you and become the strongest mage in Fairy Tail guild."

Upon seeing Ido finally make his move, Laxus was overjoyed. His magical power surged once more, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing behind Ido as he shouted, "Dragon Slayer Secret Technique..."

"Laxus wasn't even using his full power just now?!"

Erza was slightly startled as she sensed the magical power emanating from Laxus. She realized that the Thunder Dragon Halberd was still not Laxus's strongest magic.

"I already said that."

"Behave yourself a little."

Just as Erza was shocked by the power Laxus displayed, and the rest of the guild closed their eyes in disbelief, Ido finally made his move.

With one hand, Ide caught Laxus's fist as it swung at him, and with a gentle flick towards the sky, the invincible Laxus flew into the sky like a rocket, smashing a human-shaped hole in the guild's ceiling before disappearing into the horizon.

"call out!"

"Bang!"

An artificial lake located several hundred meters away from the Fairy Tail guild.

With a whooshing sound, Laxus, who had been thrown out of the guild by Ido, landed smoothly inside.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After Laxus was instantly killed by Ido, a burst of loud laughter erupted in the guild hall. Everyone shook their heads, saying, "Laxus, as expected, got instantly killed again?!"

"powerful."

"That's too strong."

On the other side, Cana, who had just arrived, stood there frozen like a statue, shaking her head repeatedly and saying, "That blond boy and Erza are already very strong, but Ido is even stronger."

"Was my father that strong?"

Kana couldn't help but whisper.

"Isn't that obvious?"

As Kana was talking to herself, Wakaba happened to overhear her. He chuckled and lectured Kana, "Kana, you should have a little more faith in your father! Gildarts' character is inversely proportional to his strength!"

"Are ability and character inversely proportional?"

Kana looked up at Wakaba not far away and asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's right."

"Kildarts's strength is directly proportional to his despicable character."

"He is one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail guild, and together with the other strongest in the guild, Ido, they are known as the 'Twin Pillars of Fairy Tail'."

Wakaba explained.

"The guild's strongest mage, known alongside Ido as one of the 'Twin Peaks of Fairies'?!"

Kana's pupils contracted slightly, and she muttered to herself in disbelief.

"That's right."

Wakaba nodded slightly with a smile.

As long as Ido and Gildarts are around, Fairy Tail is invincible; that's common knowledge.

"alright."

"Laxus, that brat, has been dealt with too."

"Now it's time to test your homework."

"Prepare yourselves, my daughters."

After instantly killing Laxus, Yide turned his gaze to his daughters, his eyes sharp.

"Well."

Erza and Ultear, who were caught in Ido's gaze, shivered and looked panicked.

Well, the homework that Ido left for Erza and Ultear included not only practicing magic, but also many subjects such as arithmetic, literature, and geography.

Id: "Even if I don't need it in the future, a qualified archmage can't be illiterate!"

"Click."

"Id, long time no see~"

Just at this critical moment, the Fairy Tail guild's doors were pushed open once again, and the belated Ulquiorra walked into the guild and smiled at Ido.
