"It’s truly surprising; your lives are as resilient as steel."
Wu looked at Newton and the others standing before him once again, feeling a hint of annoyance.
"It seems that this time I must completely destroy you."
"You can try."
Laxus took the initiative, charging forward enveloped in lightning without any hesitation. He was eager to settle the score.
"Really."
Wu shook his head, unleashing a black beam of magical energy that shot towards Laxus like a laser.
Laxus was quick, attempting to dodge Wu's attack by sidestepping, but Wu flicked his hand backward, causing the magic to curve mid-air and strike from behind.
Laxus lowered his body and rolled to evade.
However, Wu's reactions were equally swift. The trajectory of his magical attacks changed continuously under his control, far more agile than when Brian had been in charge, forcing Laxus to leap and dodge repeatedly.
Seeing that Laxus alone couldn't handle the situation, and disregarding whether it would hurt Laxus's pride later, Erza and Gerard joined in.
Erza's slashes might not match the power of a strong magical blast, but each strike found its way into Wu's defenses. If Wu didn’t fully focus on defense, he would inevitably be injured.
Gerard’s Meteor technique granted him even greater speed than Laxus, with immense power accompanying that speed. Moreover, Gerard's magic wasn’t limited to just that; he had various powerful offensive spells at his disposal.
Meanwhile, Newton was lurking around, creating subtle disturbances for Wu. He would suddenly raise a bump in the ground to trip Wu slightly or take potshots from the side, making Wu feel as if there was an annoying fly buzzing around him—irritating but not harmful.
"Die!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Wu pushed away the three people around him with a burst of Dark Magic, directing the spell toward Newton.
"Wow!"
Newton shouted in panic, scrambling to dodge the attack.
However, that was all Wu could manage; his magic could only push the nearby individuals away for a brief moment before they quickly closed in again.
"That was really dangerous," Newton said, wiping nonexistent sweat from his brow. He glanced at the time—there was still plenty of it left, so he could afford to waste a little more.
On the other hand, Wu grew increasingly anxious. With attacks happening elsewhere that he couldn't attend to, he was stuck here with three people holding him back. One individual was clearly just waiting for the right moment to destroy the Magic Crystal. But Wu truly couldn't spare any hands.
As time ticked by, Wu's irritation mounted.
"You've really angered me!"
Wu made a gesture with both hands.
"Genesis: Nothing!"
Countless black entities resembling ghosts began to materialize, wailing incessantly as if they had descended into hell.
"Seven Star Sword!"
"Dance of Lun!"
"Thunder Dragon Roar!"
Just like how Ultraman only enlarges at the end, although magic doesn't require gathering rage points, it does consume magical power. A spell like Genesis: Null requires a significant amount of energy. If possible, Null really didn't want to use this move just yet. Earlier, Brian had already expended quite a bit of magical power. It seemed simple to incapacitate Laxus and Newton, as well as Erza and Gerard, but the magical energy consumed was immense. Null had originally intended for them to lose their fighting capability all at once, but now it seemed like they were all just fine, which brought Null a lot of trouble. This was also why Null only used the Eternal Twilight Rhapsody during battles.
However, now that he couldn't enlarge, Null realized he couldn't match his opponent's strength and had no choice but to unleash his full power. But Newton was cunning; he didn't foolishly rush in to clash with a big move. Instead, he dug a pit and hid underground.
The terrifying magical forces collided, causing the ground to crack from the point of impact. The earth split in two like layers of an onion being peeled away.
Newton smirked slightly as he reinforced the ground in front of him for defense.
Gradually, Null's magic was pushed back, and a deep look of fear began to appear on Null's face.
But at that moment, Newton felt a sharp pain throughout his body.
"Damn it, the drug's effect."
Newton's Alchemy technique was momentarily interrupted. Fortunately, he had consumed two bottles; while the effects were strong, so was the backlash, and it came quickly. But even with a time delay, how long could he hold out?
Even faster to give in was the Magic Crystal; under the terrifying clash of magical forces, it began to crack little by little.
"Oh no!"
Newton exclaimed. Destroying this thing had to be done simultaneously! Ignoring his increasingly painful body, he charged toward the Magic Crystal.
At that moment, Null realized there was no need to protect the Magic Crystal; if he could destroy it while preventing Newton from doing so, it would be just as effective. However, Null couldn't afford to let go; if he relaxed even slightly, he'd likely be sent flying like a meteor. But he could still hinder Newton for a moment.
Although Null's magical power was rapidly depleting, he still managed to channel a bit of energy and cast Eternal Twilight Rhapsody.
"Hey! Don't mess around!"
Newton used his Mechanical Arm to block behind him and then took advantage of the magic's momentum to push forward a little further.
“Alchemy!”
The ground was covered with Magic Crystal, trying to minimize the damage to it.
Wu furrowed his brows and waved his hand, directing his magic straight towards Newton, while Erza and the other two followed suit.
“Come on, this is too much. I'm just a bystander here.”
Newton sighed, patting the Magic Crystal with his hand. Then, with his Mechanical Arm in front, he decisively shielded the Magic Crystal.
“Boom!”
Newton felt quite tragic; he clearly wasn't cut out for missions. He was always the one getting hit. He wanted to ask if the author had a grudge against him in a past life, as he seemed to be subjected to all sorts of torment. The audience must think he was some kind of punching bag.
The Mechanical Arm shattered into pieces, but thanks to its obstruction, Newton fortunately sustained only minor injuries.
Erza wasn't worried about Newton, and neither was Laxus, so the two charged towards the weakened Wu, delivering a sword strike and a punch that knocked him unconscious. Only Gerard went over to embrace Newton in an awkward princess carry.
“Gerard?”
Erza felt a sense of despair; no wonder Gerard had sent her away back then.
Laxus watched this scene with curiosity.
“What do you think would happen if I told Miraj about this?”
“Not a chance! Uh!”
The pain from the drug hit Newton like a crushing wave, and the other three collapsed to the ground as well.
"Done, who still has the strength to destroy that thing?"
Laxus could barely move his fingers now.
"I... have no strength left."
Erza gave up.
"I... can't do it either."
Gerard lay on his back, looking somewhat helpless.
"I'll do it! Hmph, heroes always make their entrance last, so you weaklings watch closely!"
Newton, despite the pain, knew he couldn't miss this opportunity to show off.
As time ticked away, when it reached zero, the Magic Crystal on Newton's side exploded.
"Hahahaha! An explosion is art!"
