The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 136 Self-destruction
Weiss's magic output was like a dense rain of arrows, shooting continuously at Jellal, in stark contrast to Natsu's direct attack.

The two's attack was like a surging tide, wave after wave, not giving Geral any chance to breathe.

Natsu's brutal charge perfectly matched with Weiss's long-range attack, putting Jellal in an unprecedented predicament.

He focused all his energy on guarding against Weiss and Natsu, ignoring the potential danger.

Jellal's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack, but he didn't know that the threat was already approaching quietly under his feet!

He had just taken a step when he heard a "click" and felt a sense of restraint at his ankle.

He instinctively lowered his head to check, and saw several extremely strong vines tightly wrapped around him like snakes.

The vines seemed to be made of the hardest steel, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless, which greatly limited Jellal's speed of movement.

The vines held him tightly, and every movement required all his strength.

Immediately afterwards, before he had time to pay attention, three thick steel walls rose from the ground, blocking his way tightly.

Jellal was caught off guard and could only watch helplessly as he was trapped in this narrow space.

Natsu seized the opportunity and spurted out flames from his feet. The powerful thrust increased his speed to the extreme, and he rushed straight towards Jellal like a cannonball.

Weiss provided effective support from the side.

"Levitation spell!"

"Giant Power Technique!"

With every buff spell Weiss cast, Natsu's speed increased by a level, and before the trail of fire remaining in the air dissipated, he had already approached Jellal's side.

"Celestial Magic: Meteor!"

Jellal also used his best move to respond, with golden light flashing on his fist. Due to the bonus of Natsu's sprint speed, he had no time to dodge and could only fight head-on.

But he seemed to have forgotten Weiss's presence, and just as Jellal raised his hand, a vine wrapped around his wrist perfectly.

The vine slowed down his punch by less than a second.

But this brief delay gave Natsu a precious opportunity. He deftly tilted his head to avoid Jellal's fatal blow, and at the same time, he swung his long-awaited right fist towards Jellal fiercely:
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!"

This attack gathered all the strength of Natsu's body, and his iron fist hit Jellal's abdomen hard.

With a painful roar, Jellal spat out a mouthful of blood and his body hit the iron wall behind him heavily.

The solid wall could not withstand such a huge impact and broke into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Gerard was knocked back by the huge force, plowing a deep gully on the ground. Amidst the flying dust, only a devastated battlefield was left.

"hu~hu~"

Natsu fell exhausted to the ground covered with dust and debris, gasping for breath, sweat and dust mixed into trails of mud.

On the other side, Gerard struggled for a few times but was unable to get up from the ground.

Only then did Weiss approach the fallen Jellal. Almost all of Jellal's bones were broken, and his internal organs were severely damaged. The blood he vomited was mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

If any ordinary soldier had suffered such an injury, he would have died long ago.

Jellal stubbornly maintained a breath, but he was no longer able to resist.

"Gravity override."

The space around him suddenly became several times heavier, making it even more difficult for the already powerless Jellal to move. In the end, he could only lie on the ground, without even the strength to lift his head.

Weiss held her wand against Jellal's temple.

"Your memory is valuable. Since your body is useless, you might as well keep something useful."

Weiss successfully extracted Jellal's memories.

The intense pain made Jellal instinctively open his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat, only saliva mixed with blood dripping onto the ground.

At this moment, Jellal had lost his former dignity and looked particularly miserable. "Stop!" Erza couldn't bear to see Jellal treated like this. The long sword in her hand turned into a stream of light and pierced Weiss's heart.

Weiss stretched out a hand, grasped Erza's neck and lifted her into the air.

Then he threw her heavily to the ground. She struggled to get up, but the force prevented her from moving.

"Don't bother me."

While Weiss was distracted, Jellal regained consciousness.

He activated the emergency measures that had been prepared in advance.

The entire Paradise Tower suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the huge magical power accumulated inside was about to explode.

"Be buried with me!"

Jellal actually controlled the entire Tower of Paradise to self-destruct.

The massive building transformed into a giant magic crystal bomb, powerful enough to destroy everything upon its explosion.

Weiss intends to stop Jellal, but his strength seems inadequate to prevent the release of this destructive energy.

"Pity."

Weiss glanced at the remaining magic crystals with regret. If he had been any later, it would have been too late.

Weiss also prepared a backup plan.

He activated the portkey and disappeared from the Tower of Paradise.

The next moment, Wes appeared at the harbor. His sudden appearance frightened the surrounding fishermen, who stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but he must be a wizard."

"Nonsense, how can an ordinary person have such ability?"

Weiss ignored the fishermen's whispers. He looked past the crowd and toward the Paradise Tower in the distance, which was undergoing tremendous changes.

A dazzling light burst out from the location of the Tower of Paradise, followed by a deafening explosion.

A powerful shock wave swept in, raising waves near the port. Even people in the port could feel the terrifying aftermath.

"what happened??"

The fishermen looked at each other, completely confused about what was going on.

[Such an explosion must have caused the Council to suffer heavy losses. As for the two of the Ten Holy Magi, perhaps with their formidable strength, they were able to survive this catastrophe.]

As for whether the members of Fairy Tail can survive this disaster, it all depends on their luck.

However, those guys have always had incredibly good luck, so maybe they can get away with it this time.

These were not Weiss's primary concerns at the moment.

For him, the gains from this operation were the most important. He collected a large number of magic crystals, which were extremely valuable resources for any magician pursuing power.

Seeing that the wind and waves gradually subsided, Wes did not plan to stay here for long.

Urrutia had sent him the rendezvous address through a special means.

After this ordeal, they planned to take him into the headquarters of Devil's Heart.

"It's quite interesting. I became a dark wizard too."

With that, Weiss left the port.
