"What?!"
Zero was greatly startled. He hadn't seen how Takeshi had appeared beside him at all.
Boom... Boom...
After a single push from Takeshi, Zero's body continuously smashed through several buildings.
Crash!
Just as Zero stood up from the ruins, his face was seized by Takeshi.
Rumble!
Takeshi dragged Zero by the face across a high tower.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Get lost!"
Zero continuously punched Takeshi, but Takeshi seemed completely unfazed.
In Second Resurrección, all of Takeshi's base attributes had been significantly boosted. Zero's attacks could no longer break his defense.
Takeshi also continuously threw punches, and with every hit, Zero felt as if he had been struck by steel.
"Waaahhhhhhh!!!"
Wu let out a painful shriek and continuously coughed up blood.
Swoosh!
Takeshi wrapped his tail around Zero's neck and flung him toward the high tower.
Boom... Boom...
Zero's body smashed through the tower, layer after layer.
Takeshi pointed his index finger at Zero, and black energy rapidly gathered and compressed at his fingertip.
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
The Cero Oscuras struck the tower.
Boom... Boom...
The tower was continuously destroyed within the black light.
"AHHHHHH!!!"
The black light enveloped Zero, who let out painful shrieks.
Takeshi slowly descended.
Zero slowly stood up, his crimson eyes wide open.
Takeshi indifferently said, "Oh? You're quite resilient."
Zero gritted his teeth and looked at Takeshi. "Brat, it seems I underestimated you somewhat, but everything ends here. Next, I will use my strongest magic to kill you."
Rumble!!!
Powerful magical power emanated from Zero's body as he positioned his hands.
"History will come to an end before my eyes. This is the start of a new era of nothingness."
"Genesis Zero!"
"Open, Gate of the Demon's Wail!"
"Oh, travelers of nothingness! Devour his soul! Devour his memory! Devour his very existence!'
"In the name of Zero!"
"Be gone!!!"
Boom!
The Gate behind Zero opened, and countless phantoms surged out, rushing toward Takeshi.
Takeshi pointed his index finger at Zero.
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
The black beam shot toward the phantoms.
Boom... Boom...
Large swaths of phantoms were all cleared away by Takeshi's attack.
"It's useless. The Gate of the Demon's Wail is open! The phantoms are endless! Look! These phantoms are surging out again in the blink of an eye!"
Takeshi was unconcerned. "Is that so?"
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
Boom... Boom...
Another large swath of phantoms was cleared.
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
Boom... Boom...
This time, before many phantoms could even emerge, they were cleaned up by Takeshi's Cero Oscuras.
"Wait!"
Zero panicked slightly upon seeing this. Although the phantoms were endless, it still took some time for them to rush out of the Gate of the Demon's Wail.
Moreover, isn't that attack of yours supposed to be an ultimate move? Why do you use it as if it were a normal attack?
Zero didn't realize that while the Cero Oscuras wasn't exactly a normal attack for Takeshi, it wasn't far off.
In his Second Resurrección, casting Cero Oscuras put absolutely no strain on Takeshi.
Takeshi ignored Zero's panic.
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
Takeshi completely cleared out all the phantoms.
Cero Oscuras!
Whoosh!
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
As Zero was hit by the Cero Oscuras, he let out a shriek.
After the light faded, Zero was seen covered in injuries.
"No... impossible... I actually..."
Zero couldn't believe it. He was the Guild Master of Oración Seis, yet he had been defeated by a mere brat.
"Hmm, it's time to end the fight."
Just as Zero thought Takeshi was about to finish him off, Takeshi suddenly stamped his foot, flapped his wings, and shot toward the sky.
Zero looked puzzled. "What is he doing?"
Takeshi stood high in the sky. "This distance should be about right."
Lanza del Relampago!
Takeshi placed his hands palm to palm, and azure energy gathered between his palms. He then pulled his hands apart, revealing an arrow-shaped weapon in his hand.
Takeshi stood in the air, adopting a throwing stance.
Whoosh!
The energy construct shot toward Nirvana, landing on it.
Boom!
An azure pillar of light pierced the sky. A dazzling light erupted, spreading rapidly like a nuclear explosion.
The azure flash, accompanied by a terrifying impact, destroyed everything it covered.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Oración Seis and the others who were still on Nirvana bore the brunt of this terrifying impact.
"What was that?!"
The Allied Forces who had left Nirvana also witnessed this scene.
Iron Rock Wall!
Jura immediately used his defensive magic, and a massive rock blocked the path of the Allied Forces.
Rumble!
Crackle!
The terrifying shockwave swept past the people nearby, snapping all the surrounding trees.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Everyone couldn't help but scream.
After a long while, the shockwave slowly subsided.
Only then did everyone slowly poke their heads out from behind the Iron Rock Wall.
The surrounding ground showed horrific destruction; the once lush Endless Sea of Trees had been stripped of a layer of turf, revealing bare soil, and countless trees had been uprooted and crushed.
In the distance, the location where the massive Moving City 'Nirvana' had been was now completely empty.
Nirvana had vanished without a trace. Such a huge Moving City had disappeared into thin air all at once.
"W–what exactly happened?!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
What was that attack just now?
"What was that just now?! Was it Etherion?!" Ichiya asked, eyes wide with horror.
In everyone's view, only the Etherion fired by the Magic Council could destroy such a massive place.
Erza's voice rang out. "No, it wasn't Etherion. It was Takeshi. It was his attack that destroyed Nirvana."
"Takeshi?!"
This time, not only outsiders like Ichiya and Jura, but Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy were also stunned.
Lucy stammered, asking, "Ta–Takeshi... Takeshi can use an attack that terrifying?!"
Erza looked at the scene of destruction, her eyes revealing shock, and nodded. "Yes. I've only seen it once before. You know about Takeshi's feat of slaying a Dragon a year ago, right? He used this move to kill the Dragon, but the power wasn't as great then as it is now. It seems the power of this move has greatly increased as Takeshi's magical power has risen."
"He's a monster!"
