Jose pressed his palm to the ground.
Boom... Boom...
Light continuously erupted from underground, shattering the ground. The light rushed along the ground towards Takeshi.
Takeshi casually clenched his fist and smashed it in Jose's direction.
Crack!
Space shattered.
A shockwave rushed along the ground towards Jose's direction.
Two powerful energies collided head-on.
Boom!
A powerful impact spread outwards.
Crack!
The entire arena was covered in dense cracks.
The members of Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord all blocked the impact with their arms, some clutching the railings to prevent themselves from being blown away.
"Ahhhhh!"
Many citizens who had just run out of the arena felt the ground shaking, screaming and quickly moving away.
Bang!
Takeshi burst out of the smoke, raising Murakumogiri and slashing down at Jose.
Jose created a barrier in front of him.
Boom!
Takeshi's swing of the blade struck the magic barrier, the powerful impact shattering the surrounding ground.
Crack!
A crack appeared on the magic barrier.
"What?!"
Jose hadn't expected his barrier to be unable to withstand Takeshi's attack.
Jose unleashed streams of dark purple light. Takeshi swung Murakumogiri, blocking all these light beams one by one.
Swish!
He gripped Murakumogiri with both hands, charged up, and then unleashed a huge horizontal slash.
Jose immediately dodged upon seeing this.
Crack!
Half of the arena was cut open and flew up.
Both Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord members gasped in shock at this sight, completely stunned.
Jose's expression was solemn at this moment. He had originally thought it was just a kid. He didn't expect him to be able to unleash such terrifying power.
How could he tolerate such a powerful guy being under Makarov's command?
Jose created a large number of ghosts, who swarmed towards Takeshi. These ghosts would drain the target's life force upon contact.
Buzz!
Takeshi clenched his fist and charged up, a white transparent spherical light shield, compressed with the power of vibration, condensed on his fist.
Crack!
Rumble!
The terrifying vibrational impact swept through these ghosts.
Bang... Bang...
The ghosts were all scattered by the vibration, which continued to rush towards Jose.
Jose's expression changed, and he quickly cast a barrier to block it.
Crack!
The barrier shattered.
"Ahhhhh!"
Jose screamed as his body was struck and sent flying backward.
Boom!!!
"Master!"
The expressions of all the members of Phantom Lord dramatically changed upon seeing Jose being knocked flying by Takeshi.
"That's great!"
The Fairy Tail members all cheered upon seeing this.
Makarov was stunned.
Is this kid Takeshi a monster? That was one of the Ten Wizard Saints, one of the ten strongest mages in Ishgar, as chosen by the Magic Council.
Takeshi was actually able to contend with him, no, suppress him. Had his strength already reached this level?
This kid's progress is too fast.
Boom!
A surge of dark magic power shot up into the sky, scattering all the surrounding rubble.
Jose looked slightly disheveled at this moment, with blood spilling from the corner of his lips, but his body radiated terrifying magic power, causing the sky above the entire city of Onibus to change dramatically.
"You damn brat, you've really angered me!" Jose's gaze fixed on Takeshi
All his magic power was unleashed, turning his eyes completely black, making him look terrifying like a demon.
Jose condensed a large amount of darkness in his hands, forming a dark purple orb of light.
Dead Wave!
A super powerful dark shockwave shot towards Takeshi.
Takeshi gripped Murakumogiri with both hands.
Buzz!
A white transparent orb of light, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, appeared on the blade of Murakumogiri.
Takeshi swung his blade down at the dark shockwave.
Boom!!!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
Then, a powerful impact spread outwards, and everything enveloped in light shattered.
Makarov immediately enlarged his body, standing in front of the guild members.
The Phantom Lord members were not so lucky, and many were blown away by the impact.
BOOM!
Crack!!!
The already devastated arena collapsed with a thunderous roar.
"Haha... Hahahaha... Hahahahaha!!!"
"Damn brat! You must be dead this time, right?! Hahahaha!"
"Did you see that? This is what happens when you provoke a Wizard Saint! Hahahahaha!" Jose spread his arms and laughed madly.
He had finally gotten rid of that annoying kid. His death would surely cause Makarov great pain, right?
Suddenly—
Takeshi's voice rang out from within the smoke.
"Hey! Don't say someone's dead so quickly. That's bad luck."
Takeshi's words brought Jose's laughter to an abrupt halt.
Jose looked towards the center of the smoke.
A tall figure stood at the center of the explosion. As the smoke slowly cleared, Takeshi stood there completely unharmed, looking perfectly fine.
"No! Impossible! You took my strongest magic and are unharmed?! This is absolutely impossible!" Jose's expression was shocked and frantic.
Dead Wave was his strongest magic. He didn't believe anyone could take his attack unharmed, not even Makarov.
"Hmm... Your magic is quite powerful. Indeed, the Ten Wizard Saints have something, but overall, it's just average." Takeshi gave his assessment based on Whitebeard's memories.
Jose's strength was decent, on par with an average Warlord of the Sea. But he had inherited the power of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.
The Fairy Tail members were all speechless upon hearing this. A Wizard Saint was actually called "average" by Takeshi.
"You damn brat! You're too arrogant!"
"If one hit doesn't kill you, then two. If two don't kill you, then three. I refuse to believe I can't finish you off!"
Takeshi said indifferently, "No need for so many. One hit, the next hit will finish you."
