Fairy Tail: Strongest Creature

Ikaruga's face became serious; this man was a real monster. His body was unimaginably strong and terrifying.

There seemed to be no way to break through this monster's defense with a slash.

Just as Ikaruga was thinking this, Su Yan was ready to continue.

"Om----!"

Su Yan summoned a terrifying surge of Conqueror's Haki, forming a huge fist. The Conqueror's Haki kept condensing onto the fist.

Ikaruga gritted her teeth, mobilizing all her magic power, and slashed toward the Conqueror's Haki-formed fist.

But this time it wasn't just a small sword; it was a huge fist. Ikaruga managed to cut part of it but couldn't withstand the rest.

"Boom----!"

"Woo ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Ikaruga screamed in pain. Her body was continuously knocked back, slamming into one wall after another, until she crashed through the outermost wall of the Tower of Heaven and fell toward the sea below.

As she fell from the top of the Tower of Heaven, getting farther away, Ikaruga couldn't help but reach out toward the top.

"The Immortal Demon Emperor Su Yan is truly too strong. Jellal dared to provoke such an opponent, but he cannot win. Before long, the light of justice will fall from the sky and end all this. By that time, you will have no chance to be anxious."

Lucy watched this scene in shock. Su Yan was just too strong. That woman's strength was immense, but there was no way to break Su Yan's defense. What on earth was Su Yan's body made of, to be so strong?

At the top of the Tower of Heaven:

"Ikaruga failed?" Jellal observed everything within the Tower of Heaven, so he knew perfectly who won and who lost.

Ikaruga was very strong, the strongest among his subordinates. That's why he sent her to stop Su Yan—he wanted to gauge Su Yan's strength. But she couldn't withstand him under normal circumstances.

"It seems I'll have to deal with this guy myself."

He had known of Su Yan's destructive power from the Magic Appraisal Institute. Large-scale cooperation would be needed against such a high-handed individual, but even Ikaruga could not last against him.

On another floor:

"Water Slicer!"

A jet of water emitted from Juvia's hands.

"Wow ah ah!"

"Ugh ah ah!"

All the enemies screamed as they were knocked down.

"Well! Anyone who wants to hurt Lord Gray must get past me first!" Juvia declared.

"Juvia, you're really strong!" Gray said. Together with Juvia, Gray barely had to do anything, since Juvia defeated all the enemies.

Gray had thought she was just a girl he casually saved during the chaos, not expecting Juvia to actually be so powerful.

Hearing Gray praise her strength, Juvia's face immediately lit up: "Juvia was one of the Four Elements of the Phantom Lord Guild. The Ameonna of the Four Elements is Juvia."

"Four Elements?! Wouldn't that make you an S-Class mage of Phantom Lord? With such strength, any guild would want you. Why join Fairy Tail?" Gray asked, a bit surprised. After all, Phantom Lord was as famous as Fairy Tail in the Kingdom of Fiore.

Juvia blushed: "Because Juvia loves Fairy Tail... loves... loves... loves Gr—"

Suddenly, an intense rocking sound interrupted Juvia's words.

"What was that sound...?" Gray frowned, looking toward the direction of the noise.

They saw a man with heavy rock-style hair tossing his head and approaching.

"YEAH!! Regret—!!"

"Hell Concert, DEATH ROLL—L!!"

"Who are you?!"

"Assassin of the Death Head Caucus Guild!! Hey!! Such a flashy name, I am from Trinity Raven—Vidaldus Taka!"

"One of those three fighters Jellal mentioned?"

"YES!! ROCK YOU!!"

Vidaldus Taka strummed his guitar, his long hair dancing in strands, attacking toward Juvia and Gray.

"ICEMAKE · Shield!"

Gray quickly raised an ice shield in front of them.

"Gray-sama protected me?! Does that mean he likes me?" Juvia's imagination started running wild again.

"What are you thinking?!"

Juvia recovered: "You dare attack Lord Gray? Juvia will not spare you!!"

"Water Bind!!"

Suddenly, a large amount of water appeared at Vidaldus Taka's feet, forming a giant water bubble around him.

Seeing this, Gray quickly unleashed a chill, freezing the bubble into ice.

"Boom!" The frozen mass landed on the ground, creating a pit.

"Alright, that settles him."

"Wow! Indeed, Gray-sama! Ice and water magic really go well together!" Juvia said excitedly.

Gray felt slightly embarrassed hearing Juvia's praise, but it was true that ice and water complement each other.

"Om----!"

A sound suddenly came from inside the ice. More precisely, from the guitar within.

"Crack, crack!"

Cracks appeared on the ice. Gray and Juvia's faces changed slightly.

The ice broke apart, and Vidaldus Taka was freed from his frozen state.

"Phew~! That was close! Almost got turned into a popsicle! I didn't expect to meet two who are so strong—it's really dangerous!"

"No way! Come on, two-on-one is too dangerous!"

"Then join me! Become my rock partners!!"

Gray said to Juvia: "Be careful, he's about to attack!"
