Chapter 74
|3rd POV|
"Bring it on, Jura!"
Jura grins at that word and claps his hands. After he claps his hand, a thousand spikes made of stone come out of the ground and fly at Ryan.
Instead of running away, Ryan takes a battle stance and slices any stone coming at him. Thousand stone spikes were cut into pieces and left lying on the ground. However, Jura smiles and says,
"It was a mistake!"
He clenches his hands, and suddenly, the stone around Ryan starts to float. Thousands of small stones come at Ryan quickly and try to trap Ryan inside a stone cocoon. However, before the stone can trap him inside, Ryan twists his body and creates a dome made of wind.
"Sky Dragon's Brilliance Scale!"
All the stones get thrown back from the force of the wind around him. Instead of stopping after seeing the dome of wind, Jura keeps sending the stone at Ryan but increases their flight speed. In his mind, Ryan will run out of mana if he keeps the shield to block his attack.
He did not know that Ryan was already preparing to do a country attack.
"Sky Dragon's Roar!"
Coming out of the dome is a torrent of wind that blows all the stone coming at Ryan and makes Jura widen his eyes. Jura points his hand on the ground and creates ten thick stone walls.
"Iron Rock Wall: Continuous Formation"
Seven of the walls get destroyed by Ryan's attack, and when he feels that the attack stops, Jura cancels his spell. However, as he cancels his spell, Ryan appears behind the stone wall with his sword above his head.
Hinokami Kagura: Dance
Ryan swings his sword, and a blaze of flame follows his movement. Jura manages to block this attack by using his Bo Staff. However, he can see that his weapon gets damaged after making contact with Doujigiri Yasutsuna.
Seeing this, he points his finger at the ground and creates five stone pillars to attack Ryan. However, Ryan already sees it coming and twists his body to the side, then swings his sword.
Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun
Ryan cuts all the stone pillars and jumps at Jura, who quickly takes a defensive stance. Jura creates many stone pillars to hold Ryan for a moment, but sadly for him, Ryan is done going on the defensive.
He runs forward and swings his sword at any stone pillar coming at him.
Hinokami Kagura: Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance
The people watching from the side can only watch in awe. The person who they thought would lose is now going on the offensive and making Jura Neekis, one of the strongest magicians, go on the defensive.
However, the Dragon Slayers are the ones who shocked the most in this fight. They look at the arena in shock as they can feel the draconic energy Ryan uses. While the Dragon Slayers from Fairy Tail already know about Ryan, the other two do not know about his presence.
Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney did not know about another dragon slayer and one this strong. They know how powerful Jura is, and they have never once won against him. Seeing another Dragon Slayer appear and push Jura to the limit is an eye-opening experience.
"What do you think, Jenny?"
Yajima looks at the woman next to him with a small smile.
"He gives us a surprise, right? His form is fantastic. He did not give any opening for Jura to exploit. Ryan is fast and attacks Jura relentlessly, not to give him an opportunity to attack. Combine it with his magic, which is Dragon Slayer Magic; he is a force to be reckoned with."
Jenny clicks her tongue, forgetting that the people can hear her, before saying.
"The result will be the same. Jura will not lose. He has fought Dragon Slayers before and never lost once."
"That's true. However, I have a feeling that this will change that."
Back to the arena, the fighting ground is destroyed by the fight. Luckily for the organizer, this was the last fight as they did not need to fix the arena quickly and could do it leisurely.
*BOOM*
A massive explosion happens and creates a smoke screen, blocking the spectator. After a few seconds, the dust disappears, and the people can see the result of two power clashes. Many of them widen their eyes when they see Juna's weapon already broken into two, and Jura has wounds on his chest. However, Ryan did not come unscathed. There is a nasty bruise on his left cheek.
Ryan manages to land a clean hit using Sky Dragon's Crushing Fang. However, it was a trap. Jura let Ryan hit him to create a clean hit of his own.
Ryan spits some blood and looks at his opponent with respect. He must admit that Jura has the durability of a High-Ranking High Class being if Jura was born in his world.
"Jura. I will release my strongest attack. Make sure you survive."
Jura looks at him for a second and nods his head seriously. He takes a defensive stance and says.
"Come! Show me your strongest attack, Ryan!"
Ryan nods and asks Grandeeney mentally.
'Can I borrow your power, Grandeeney? I did not want to kill him by using the Rasenshuriken."
'Go ahead. Show the world the power of Sky Dragon.'
'I will.'
Ryan eats a large amount of wind and feels his body get stronger. Grandeeny also used his life force for this single attack. The watcher widens their eyes when dragon wings appear behind Ryan's back.
Natsu and Gajeel look at the sight in front of them in determination. This is the power they need to surpass to meet their parents once again. They see Ryan transform into his Dragonization mode after combining his magic, Senjutsu, and Grandeeney's magic.
The four Dragon Slayers watching the fight widen their eyes even more when they see an image of a white dragon behind Ryan. They can see the dragon roaring, and even though the people cannot hear its sound, they can feel its might.
Ryan jumps into the sky and does a dive kick at Jura.
Seeing the incoming attack, Jura claps his hands together to manipulate the earth around him to create a rock mountain that can be used to block incoming attacks. This mountain is intricately designed and sculpted into what seems to be a giant warrior wearing armor with spikes going upwards. This is Jura's strongest defensive spell.
"Come, Ryan! Rock Mountain!"
"Sky Dragon Queen's Wrath!"
*BOOM*
Two spells clash with each other, creating a massive explosion and almost destroying the barrier around the arena that was put in place to protect the watcher. It lasts for a few seconds, and the people look at the arena in anticipation. They want to know who is the winner in this battle.
The answer appears a few seconds later as the dust cloud slowly disappears. They gasp at the sight of Jura lying on the ground, unconscious, and Ryan standing in the middle of the arena, still conscious. The winner is clear, and the people start to cheer for the exciting fight and the winner of the battle.
Ryan takes the first win for Fairy Tail.
