"Damn it!"
The giant monster's huge claw swiped at Takeshi.
Crack!
Takeshi swung the rail, shattering the monster's claw.
"What?!" Lullaby was greatly startled.
Takeshi stomped his foot on the ground.
Boom!
All the surrounding rails were shaken and flew up.
Takeshi used both his fists and feet to continuously strike the rails, sending them flying at high speed towards Lullaby.
Crack... Crack...
Lullaby's body was constantly pierced and broken by the rails.
Whoosh!
Takeshi appeared in front of Lullaby's head.
"Sorry, I'm short on time, so I won't play with you anymore."
Takeshi gripped the rail with both hands and smashed it down towards the monster's head.
Boom!
Crack!
Lullaby's head, along with its body, was smashed into two halves by Takeshi's single blow.
Rumble!
Lullaby's massive body crashed down.
Kageyama watched everything before him in shock. He finally understood what kind of monster they, Eisenwald, had been fighting. How could Eisenwald possibly defeat such a monster?
Bang!
Takeshi dispelled his transformation, returning to his original form.
"Ow!"
Takeshi felt a sharp pain in his muscles. Although his physical strength had greatly improved over the past six months due to training and practicing Sun Breathing, he still experienced muscle strain and pain every time he received Toji's power.
As stylish as the transformation was, the aftermath of dispelling it was equally messy.
"Sigh. I knew I should have finished it sooner."
Every time Takeshi received Toji's power, he regretted not ending the battle sooner, which would have saved him some suffering.
That immense power made him want to show off his skills to the fullest.
Soon, a magical four-wheel vehicle sped over. It screeched to a halt upon arriving.
"Takeshi! Are you alright?!" Erza came up to Takeshi, asking with some concern.
Takeshi waved his hand. "Don't worry, what could happen to me?"
"It's great that you're alright." Erza happily patted Takeshi's shoulder.
Takeshi gasped. "Hiss... Ow!"
Erza quickly asked with concern, "Hurts? Are you injured?"
Takeshi explained, "No, it's just that the movements during the transformation were a bit intense. After dispelling it, I have some muscle strain. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Sun Breathing itself has a body-restoring effect. As long as the injury isn't too severe, it can recover quickly.
Erza breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Lucy got out of the magical four-wheeled vehicle at this moment, staring at the scene before her in shock. "What... what exactly happened here?!"
The massive train was now in ruins, all members of Eisenwald had fallen, the ground was greatly damaged, the rails were torn up, and there was also a giant monster split in half nearby.
"What is that giant monster?!"
Seeing this huge and terrifying monster, Lucy was stunned. Such a terrifying monster looked incredibly scary at first glance.
"That? That's Lullaby."
"Lullaby?!!"
Erza and the others were greatly surprised. This monster was actually Lullaby.
Lucy was greatly shocked. Did this mean Takeshi alone defeated so many people from Eisenwald and also eliminated the monster Lullaby?
Just then, a large number of footsteps sounded from afar.
"Quick! Surround this place! Don't let anyone escape!"
Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large army rapidly approaching.
Takeshi, who had just been rampaging, immediately changed his expression. "Oh no! It's the army! Run!"
After speaking, he skillfully jumped onto the vehicle, and Erza immediately sat in the driver's seat and put on the SE spark plugs.
"Huh?! Running again?!"
Lucy felt as if she hadn't joined a legitimate guild, otherwise, why would they always have to run away every time they encountered the army?
However, she was smarter this time. Despite her words, her escape speed was not slow at all. Even though she hadn't done anything this time, she didn't want to be caught by the army for interrogation. She still hadn't found a way to pay her rent this month.
"Hold on tight."
Erza stepped on the accelerator, quickly turning around and escaping, leaving behind a group of cursing soldiers.

Local Guild Master Alliance.
Regular Meeting Venue.
"Makarov, the mages in your guild are very lively, aren't they? I heard that they beat a certain influential person to a pulp."
Bob, the Master of the Blue Pegasus Guild, said to Makarov with an envious expression.
The meeting was already halfway through, and all the guild masters were gathered for a banquet, chatting and exchanging pleasantries.
Bob, the Master of the Blue Pegasus Guild, and Makarov were old acquaintances. They had even been together in Fairy Tail when they were young, before Bob opened his own guild.
This meeting was a joint conference on one hand, and a gathering of old friends on the other.
"Oh! This is our rookie, Lucy's masterpiece. Especially her chest, it's amazing."
"Oh, you pervert."
Goldmine, the Master of the Quatro Cerberus Guild, warned, "Having spirit is a good thing, but don't you think you're going too far? There are people on the Council worrying that Fairy Tail will destroy a city someday."
"Alright, then let it happen. Let me be crushed by Lucy's chest."
Makarov was already a bit drunk at this point, standing on the table and dancing gracefully.
Bob, cupping his face, said with a shy expression, "Really, how can you make a move on a mage from your own guild?"
Just then, a small bird flew over, carrying a letter.
"Master Makarov, a letter from Mirajane-san has arrived for you."
"Hmm?"
Makarov opened the letter with some confusion.
A miniature image of Mira appeared on the letter, greeting him with a radiant smile, "Master, you've worked hard."
"How about it?! Look at our poster girl. Isn't she beautiful?"
Makarov proudly displayed his guild's beautiful poster girl with a triumphant expression.
The old men around him, though old in age, were young at heart. Seeing how beautiful and adorable Mirajane was, they all became lecherous.
"While you were away, Master, something incredible happened in the guild. Erza actually teamed up with Takeshi again. Isn't that great?"
"Erza needed Takeshi's help with something. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but I felt it was necessary to report it to you, so I wrote this letter. Over and out!"
After Mirajane's image finished speaking these words, it instantly disappeared.
