Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Gerald tried his best to dodge, but the Azure Dragon's Roar covered too much area, and he was still hit and fell to the top of the tower.

Half of his body was charred black, his robes were burned to ashes, his exposed skin was covered with scorch marks, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Riyao smiled smugly, put his hands behind his head, and floated loosely in the air, his dark green dragon tail wrapped around his waist, like a lazy snake.

He tilted his head and looked at the disheveled Gerald at the top of the tower, his tone flippant.

"The little Ten Saints are easy to handle."

Gerald staggered to his feet, his charred half-face contorted in pain, his eyes bloodshot as if they had been completely set ablaze by something.

"Your magic is life magic! It's life magic! Truly a perfect offering for Lord Zeref!"

He appeared completely deranged, with runes extending from his eyes and covering his face like wriggling worms, making his appearance distorted and terrifying.

That wasn't his own will; it was the implanted demonic consciousness that was completely taking over his body.

Sunshine clicked his tongue, tilted his head to examine the incantation on Gerald's face, and muttered to himself.

"Oh, looks like we triggered a hidden boss? Was there such a thing?"

He scratched his dragon horns and muttered, "I should have rewatched Fairy Tail a few more times. I only remember the general plot of the later parts; I've forgotten all the details."

Gerald's magical power surged, with dark energy mixed in with the golden astral magic. The two forces collided wildly within him, making his aura more than twice as strong as before.

"Don't underestimate my dedication to Lord Zeref!"

Seven Star Sword

Seven golden beams of light descended from the sky, the rising sun blazing down, each carrying destructive power and covering the entire sky.

Sunlight swam through the air, its graceful form like a green dragon playing in the water, easily dodging the attacking Seven Star Sword.

The beam of light flew past him and slammed into the top of the tower, creating large craters and scattering rubble and fragments of magic crystal everywhere.

"When you yell like that, it makes me sound like a villain."

Riyao dodged while complaining.

"You were the one who kidnapped people first, and then you performed cult rituals. How come it's like I'm the one bullying you?"

After saying that, he turned around and charged towards Gerald, his claws crackling with blue lightning.

The Azure Dragon's Claw Blade

Sunburst's claws lashed out, and blue lightning transformed into sharp blades of light, slashing towards Gerald.

Gerald activated [Nine Thunder Stars], and nine golden thunder swords roared out.

He reached out and grabbed two lightning swords, directly blocking the attack of the Sunburst Dragon Claw. The golden lightning swords and the blue dragon claws collided, sparks flew, and shockwaves spread in all directions.

The remaining lightning swords attacked Sunrise's main body from the side.

Riyao glanced at the incoming lightning sword, but instead of dodging, he stepped forward, opened his mouth, and performed a feat of swallowing the great sword whole.

The Thunder Sword flew into his mouth, golden lightning crackling in his throat before being completely absorbed and transformed into the magic power within him.

Sunburst gripped the two thunder swords in Gerald's hands with his claws, abruptly closing the distance between them.

Their faces were almost touching. Sunlight's mouth was filled with blue lightning, and his teeth crackled as if he was gathering strength for a roar.

Gerald's eyes widened in terror. Seeing that Sunbeam was about to unleash another roar, he immediately released his Thunder Sword and tried to run away.

But it was too late.

Sunburst grinned, and his dragon tail lashed out from his waist, striking Gerald hard.

boom!

Gerald experienced the exhilarating feeling of being struck by a superhero once again, flying horizontally through the air, tumbling several times, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gerald managed to adjust his body and activate [Meteor], drawing a golden arc in the air to avoid crashing into the Magic Crystal Tower wall.

After regaining his balance, he put his hands together and raised seven fingers, summoning seven magical beams of light in the shape of the Big Dipper.

Seven Star Sword

Seven golden beams of light descended from the sky once more, but this time Sunburst did not dodge. Instead, it followed closely to Gerald, its legs crackling with blue lightning, moving as fast as a blue bolt of lightning.

【Azure Dragon's Knight Kick】

Sunlight kicked Gerald in the chest, and blue lightning erupted at the point of contact, sending Gerald flying.

Gerald tumbled in the air, but Sunburst followed closely behind with another tail lash, sending him flying in another direction.

Gerald gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together, gathered dark magic power, and released a shockwave.

[Dark Impact]

The dark shockwave slammed into Riyao head-on, knocking him back several meters.

Gerald seized the opportunity to raise his hand and release the black restraints.

[Darkness Binding]

Black restraints bound Riyao's hands, feet, and body tightly.

Gerald manipulated the restraints, swinging the Sunbeam like a meteor hammer, making it spin several times in the air before slamming it down onto the top of the tower.

boom!

Even the hard magic crystal was smashed into a crater, with shards of rock flying everywhere, and Sunburst was smashed into the crater.

Gerald, panting heavily, looked at the Sunbeam in the pit, a smug smile just about to appear on his lips.

As a result, Riyao stood up as if nothing had happened, dusted himself off, and flicked his dragon tail.

Even the frenzied Gerald was stunned for a moment. The hard magic crystal had been dented, so how come this person was acting like nothing had happened?

Sunshine instantly closed in on Gerrard, tossing him around in the air like a ball.

With a slap of its left claw, a hook of its right claw, a lash of its tail, and a thrust of its knee, Gerald was tormented in the air like a mouse being played with by a cat, utterly powerless to retaliate, blood and rags flying through the air.

The Azure Dragon's Claw Blade

Azure Dragon's Roundhouse Kick

boom!

He slammed Geral hard onto the top of the tower.

Blue lightning exploded at the top of the tower, shattering the magic crystal beneath Gerald.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the thick clouds pressed low, and the dragon-shaped phantom could be seen faintly in the clouds, like a sleeping dragon surging in the clouds.

Heavy rain poured down, thunder roared, and lightning flashed through the clouds, illuminating the entire sea area.

The magic of the sun reached its peak.

More dragon scales appeared on his body, spreading from his arms to his chest, neck, and cheeks.

The dragon's horns gleamed with a bluish light, shimmering in the rain.

He stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, with blue lightning dancing in his palm, and then clenched it tightly.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, drawn by the sun's rays; the blue lightning grew larger and brighter.

【Azure Dragon's Profound Technique - Wood Divine Thunder】

The blue lightning transformed into countless lightning snakes, sweeping across the sky and striking Gerald.

Lightning raged, one after another, relentlessly, each bolt carrying destructive power, affecting an area several miles around the Tower of Paradise.

The lightning-induced jets of water shot skyward from the sea, and waves crashed against the distant reefs.

Rain and lightning intertwined, turning the entire sea into a blue inferno.

Rumble!

The kingdom's army ships, which had been watching from a distance, saw this devastating scene and quickly turned around and fled.

The captains were pale and desperately urged the sailors to speed up, fearing they would be caught in the blast.

"Who's fighting up there?! Is this even humanly possible?!"

Under their watchful eyes, the Tower of Paradise met its moment of destruction.

The continuous bombardment of the Wood Divine Lightning caused the magic crystals in the tower to break down, and countless cracks spread from the top to the bottom of the tower, covering the entire tower like a spider web.

The immense magical power within the magic crystal surged forth from the crack, its golden light growing brighter and more dazzling.

boom!

The magic crystal tower exploded violently, and a golden magic storm swept across the entire sea area. The shockwave from the explosion created huge waves, some as high as ten meters.

Even from the shore, you could see the huge light, like a small sun exploding on the sea, illuminating half the sky.

The waves crashed against the shore, tossing Simon and his crew about, and they clung tightly to the hull to avoid being swept into the sea.

Mirajane stood at the bow of the small boat, watching the burst of light, his hands gripping the gunwale so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Sunlight..."

Her voice was drowned out by the sea breeze and thunder, but her gaze never left that direction.
