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

The fist collided head-on with the giant bone blade, creating a deafening explosion that shattered the heavens and earth!

A violent, golden-green power suddenly erupted, and a piercing cracking sound echoed through the forest. The giant bone blade, powerful enough to cleave mountains and forests, was shattered by Riyao's simple punch.

Bone fragments flew everywhere, and thick smoke and dust instantly swept across the entire battlefield, obscuring visibility.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the appearance of the sun underwent a complete transformation.

His golden hair suddenly stood on end, sharp and flamboyant, and his body was surrounded by a dazzling halo of gold and emerald light.

Its battle-hardened gilded patterns cover its body, intertwined with the vibrant green light of forest life, the two complementing each other, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.

The boy's aura changed drastically at this moment, and his whole body burst forth with wild and violent fighting power, just like that fighting race that likes to dye their hair and transforms when they are enraged.

The terrifying aftershocks of the force swept outwards in all directions, centered on the two individuals.

Large swathes of ancient trees snapped in half and collapsed with a crash, leaving deep gashes in the ground. Stones and broken branches flew everywhere, and a vast forest was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye, a scene of utter devastation.

Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tail guild thousands of miles away...

Makarov was lounging with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping his wine, completely at ease.

Suddenly, my heart tightened again, and that inexplicable unease multiplied several times over, heavy and stuck in my chest, refusing to go away.

His brows furrowed tightly, completely oblivious to the life-or-death crisis looming in the distance.

He instinctively and frantically clutched his wallet tightly to his waist, his face turning pale with heartache, and he groaned inwardly.

"Oh no, oh no... The last time I had this feeling was... It must have been those three brats causing all the damage outside! Repair fees, compensation fees... My wallet is completely in danger now!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Riyao's figure suddenly increased in speed.

A golden-green light enveloped his figure, moving so fast that only afterimages remained, weaving through the Skeleton King's massive skeleton.

Instead of launching a direct attack, he sought out weaknesses, unleashing a barrage of punches that relentlessly pounded on every joint of the Skeleton King's shoulders, neck, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of muffled thuds erupted as fists imbued with the vitality of the forest and the power of countless battles shattered bones with each strike.

The Skeleton King swayed heavily, his massive body staggering repeatedly. His limbs, which had been painstakingly reassembled, were smashed to pieces, and his movements became increasingly stiff and clumsy.

The villainous leader, standing atop the Skeleton King's head, stared with rage, his madness completely breaking through his limits, his hoarse and shrill voice exploding in fury.

"Damn it! You persistent brat! Stop right there! Crush him! Crush him into mincemeat!"

He frantically squeezed out his remaining magic power, forcibly stimulating bone regeneration, his face turning deathly pale as his magic power rapidly depleted.

As Riyao moved among the scattered bones, there was no hostility in his eyes. Instead, his eyebrows curved and a nonchalant smile played on his lips. He spoke slowly, each word a piercing sarcasm.

"Panic?"

"The power I painstakingly gained by draining my companions dry and breaking my bones has turned out to be so useless."

"You built this impressive facade through betrayal and plunder; it looks intimidating, but it's all bark and no bite."

"Stolen vitality, borrowed bones, when they break, they're anything but hesitant."

He laughed, accelerated his pace, and delivered another heavy punch, slamming it hard into the Skeleton King's lumbar spine.

The villainous leader watched helplessly as the giant skeleton king's limbs stiffened and he was restrained at every turn. His heavy body couldn't even catch the afterimage of the sun's rays, and all his brute force went to waste. Suddenly, his eyes turned bloodshot, and evil thoughts arose in his heart.

Without hesitation, he roared, "Release!"

With a deafening roar, the towering Skeleton King instantly shattered and disintegrated.

The white bones scattered everywhere, instantly reforming into dozens or even hundreds of tiny, agile skeleton soldiers.

Abandoning their massive size, the skeleton soldiers increased their speed several times over, rushing towards Riyao like a dark, surging tide.

Layer upon layer of bones piled up, instantly burying the unavoidable Sunshine, pressing it into a towering mound of bones, completely trapping it within.

Seeing that he had trapped his opponent, the leader's face twisted into a ferocious grin. His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, death energy coiling around his fingertips as he unleashed a deadly spell in an instant:

"Skeleton Design - Soul-Locking Bone-Strangling Burial!"

The pile of bones burying the sun suddenly tightened, and countless tiny bone blades and spikes burst out from all directions, piercing, twisting, and locking inwards through the gaps.

Layers of white bones transformed into a deadly cage, imprisoning the body while frantically devouring the magic power, determined to crush and obliterate the sunlight within the bone mound.

Outside the forest, Gray and Cana stared at the suddenly closed mountain of bones, their hearts sinking to the bottom. They were determined to rush back.

Deep within the pile of bones, darkness and biting cold descended, yet the sun shone all around, its golden and green light growing ever more intense.

The bone mound tightened, thousands of bone spikes twisted and killed inwards, and death energy frantically devoured everything around it.

Riyao suppressed all the pent-up vitality of the forest and the power of countless battles, and with both fists moving in a violent, storm-like manner, he unleashed a barrage of powerful punches.

One punch, ten punches, a hundred punches—

The dense force of the punches was devastating, shattering the layers of bone cages from the inside!

With a deafening roar, the entire mountain of bones shattered and exploded, sending bone fragments flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the gap created by the shattering, Riyao's figure burst out of the cage like a streak of light, instantly reaching mid-air.

A large hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the panicked villain leader, and slammed him hard onto the muddy woodland, holding him down firmly.

Immediately, a rapid series of attacks descended.

"Mudai! Mudai! Mudai! Mudai!"

The fists were fierce and vicious, each strike precisely shattering his bone patterns, breaking his magic hub, and cracking his bones, destroying the foundation of all his skeletal forms.

But at the same time, the healing glow of gold and green swirling around Riyao's palm was continuously covering the other person.

The bone that was just broken healed in the blink of an eye.

The internal organs, which had just been injured, were instantly soothed.

The energy that had just been depleted slowly began to return.

They beat him mercilessly while simultaneously healing him through sheer force.

The pain sensation is not diminished at all, injuries never accumulate, one cannot die even if one wants to, and cannot faint even if one wants to.

The villain's expression became incredibly interesting:

At first, he was in a frenzy of rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent, roaring as he tried to tear his opponent apart.

Then, excruciating pain swept over his entire body, his facial features contorted, and he convulsed from the pain.

He then discovered that the wound had healed in the blink of an eye, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was left with only fear and confusion.

In the end, after being repeatedly beaten and healed, the resistance is gradually worn away.

All that remained was utter collapse, despair, and mental numbness. He collapsed to the ground, unable to even scream.

The power he gained by sacrificing everything and all his companions has been completely destroyed, leaving only endless torment, imprisoned in his intact yet broken body.

Outside the forest, Gray and Cana stared at the bizarre and domineering scene, stopping in their tracks, with only one thought in their minds: Who was the villain again?
