"Is this the power you are so proud of? Truly..."
"It's so filthy it makes one want to retch!"
Facing the skeleton phantom that seed to devour everything, Ron took a step forward.
"Analysis complete. Probing finished."
Blue-gold flas ignited in Ron's pupils. He raised his right hand, palm upward, as if holding up the sun.
"Ultimate: Judgnt!!!"
Boom—!
A blinding pillar of white fla shot into the sky, instantly dispelling the surrounding dark aura.
Sizzle—!
The eerie, terrifying skeleton phantom, the mont it touched this holy pillar of light, was like snow eting boiling oil, dissolving completely amidst shrill screams.
"What?!"
Jose's pupils trembled violently; he instinctively raised his hand to shield himself from the blinding light.
"This... how is this possible?!"
"What? Surprised already?"
A cold sneer curled on Ron's lips as he gripped the empty air with his right hand.
Wind, fire, and lightning—the three elents compressed and fused frantically in his palm, transforming into a three-colored spear wreathed in an aura of destruction!
"Ultimate: Star Piercer!!!"
Whoosh—!
Ron exerted force with one arm, and the spear turned into a streak of light, instantly tearing through the air!
Jose was shocked.
Who would have thought that the person who had only been dodging and defending monts ago would suppress him in the blink of an eye?
Despite his surprise, his combat instincts allowed him to react instantly.
"Shade Soldiers!!!"
The dark Shade Soldiers stacked themselves into a thick shield wall in front of him.
However.
The spear, carrying wind, lightning, and flas, pierced through the shield wall after a brief stalemate, flew past Jose's face, drew a string of blood droplets, and pinned into the wall behind him.
Finally, it exploded, leaving a hole through the wall.
"Damn brat!!!"
The burning, stinging pain on his face made Jose feel unprecedented humiliation.
Who was he?
A top Wizard of the kingdom, a dignified mber of the Ten Wizard Saints, and now he was actually being suppressed by a young brat?!
"Unforgivable... absolutely unforgivable!!"
Jose's face distorted like a demon's, and he slamd his hands together.
"Forbidden Darkness: Undead Frenzy!!!"
Gurgle—
The ground instantly turned into a pitch-black swamp, and countless rotting arms and vengeful spirits gushed out like a tidal wave from hell, attempting to drag Ron into the abyss.
"Boring trick."
Ron didn't even look down, just tapped his toe lightly.
A golden-red magic circle imdiately appeared.
"Fla: Lotus of Karma!!!"
In an instant, a stunningly beautiful flaming lotus blood with him at its center.
All the undead and black sludge that touched the lotus petals were vaporized by the terrifying high temperature before they could even scream!
The firelight illuminated Ron's indifferent face.
In the heart of the lotus, he was unhard, like a god looking down upon ants.
"Jose, you are too slow, and you are old."
Ron walked towards Jose with leisurely steps, each one landing on the rhythm of the other's heartbeat.
"Just like the disbanded Phantom Lord, you... are eliminated!"
"There is no ship in this era to carry you!!!"
"I am eliminated?"
"I am the great Jose Porla!!!"
His past glory, the destruction of his guild, the humiliation of having his title stripped, and the contemptuous gaze of the young man before him...
Ron's words were like a sharp knife, accurately stabbing Jose's most vulnerable scar, shattering his last bit of sanity.
"How could I... lose to a wet-behind-the-ears brat like you!!"
Jose's eyes were bloodshot, and a crazy, hideous smile appeared on his face.
"Hehehe... since that's the case, I will use my life as a sacrifice and let you witness true hell!!!"
Pfft!
Jose plunged his hand violently into his own chest, and blood gushed out!
"Forbidden Magic: Life Sacrifice!!!"
Roar—!!!
A shrill wail resounded through the sky.
Jose's originally thin body instantly expanded and mutated, and six giant tentacles made of pure dark energy grew from his back, looking like a demon god from the abyss!
"Ron! I will... tear you into pieces!!"
"Are you betting your life on this?"
Facing this berserk state, Ron put away his contempt, and a bit of caution appeared in his eyes.
He cracked his neck, and the fla lotus suddenly contracted, turning into gorgeous armor that covered his entire body.
"Co on! Let see just how much real substance a Wizard Saint have!"
"Go to hell!!!"
With a roar, the six tentacles on Jose's back, like six giant siege hamrs, smashed down frantically with black lightning!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two figures collided frantically in the narrow underground space!
"Ugh!"
A tentacle creepily bypassed his defensive blind spot and struck hard on Ron's left shoulder, blasting him into the wall and leaving fine cracks in his fla armor.
"Cough... I might have played too hard."
I have to admit, a thin cal is still bigger than a horse; Jose, having sacrificed his life, had indeed touched the threshold of the top tier of the Ten Wizard Saints.
"What's wrong, Ron? Where did that arrogance from before go?!"
Seeing his blow land, Jose beca even more frantic and raised his hands high.
"Extre Despair!!!"
A monstrous wave of black magic power pressed down on Ron, covering the sky and earth, with nowhere to dodge.
"Hoo..."
Ron took a deep breath, his heterochromatic pupils suddenly contracting, "Don't look down on people too much, you old thing!"
"Ultimate: Storm-Thunder Annihilation!!!"
Silver-white lightning, crimson flas, and cyan storms!
The three powers spiraled and intertwined around him, turning into a roaring giant dragon that clashed head-on with the dark wave!
Rumble—!!!
Two earth-shattering forces collided fiercely!
The entire underground space groaned, and the shockwave swept out, turning everything around it into dust!
After a brief stalemate, both were knocked away.
Jose, with bloodshot eyes, just stabilized his figure before waving the tentacles behind him and rushing forward.
Ron was also brimming with fighting spirit; his fla armor, wrapped in lightning, teleported forward.
For a mont, afterimages flew everywhere.
Every collision was accompanied by roars.
Ron's magic was imbued with Dragon Power, and with the aid of his heterochromatic eyes, every strike could hit a weak point, shattering the tentacles in one hit.
But in the Life Sacrifice state, Jose's regeneration speed was shockingly fast; the tentacles would re-form as soon as they shattered, counterattacking with death energy.
The two fought like this for several minutes.
Gradually, the madness in Jose's eyes turned into terror.
He felt that the power he had exchanged by burning his life was fading, while the light in the eyes of Ron opposite him was becoming sharper.
'This monster... does he have no limits?!'
If this dragged on, he would definitely be the one to die!
"Since that's the case... then let's die together!!!"
Jose roared in despair, his mutated body suddenly contracting, gathering all his remaining life and magic power into one point.
"Dark World!!!"
Hum—
An extrely unstable black sphere of light ford on his chest, and heart-palpitating destructive fluctuations spread instantly.
The ceiling above made a "crack" sound, looking like it was about to collapse completely and bury everything.
"Want to self-destruct?"
Ron's expression tightened; a silver-gray magic circle instantly appeared on his left hand, and he pushed it upward!
The ceiling that was about to collapse seed to have been pressed on a rewind button, and the cracks healed instantly!
At the sa ti, he spread the fingers of his right hand and gripped hard at Jose, who was about to explode!
"Forbidden Darkness: Void Prison!!!"
The earth surged, swallowing Jose; freezing cold air ford invisible chains, instantly binding him; the strong wind turned into a vacuum field, forcibly draining his burning magic power.
Finally, the space rippled, and Jose was banished into another dinsion!
"No!!!"
Jose's desperate roar ca to an abrupt end.
The next second.
Boom—!!!
A terrifying explosion sounded in the interdinsional space, not affecting the real world.
Even so, a wisp of the aftermath still broke through the space crack, turning into a pitch-black beam of death that shot out!
"Ugh!"
Ron could not dodge and was grazed by the black light on his right rib, kicking up a spray of blood.
"Hiss... a Ten Wizard Saint fighting for his life, his final counterattack is quite painful."
The tremors subsided.
Ron clutched his wound, looking at the place where Jose had disappeared, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although his magic power was almost drained and he was slightly injured, he had finally solved this trouble.
He turned around, his gaze seemingly piercing through the wall, seeing the ships bobbing on the pitch-black sea.
"Next, it's ti to deal with Erza's situation!"
