Brutality

(3rd Person POV)

"Lucy!" Gray said as he and Lucy ran towards where the fight was happening, "They're over here!"

"I wonder if Jason is okay." Lucy said as she followed him

They reached the courtyard where Jason was, stopping at the entrance. They were met with a wall of black flames that surrounded both Jason and Zancrow.

"W-What?" Lucy said as she grimaced to the heat of the flames, "What are these flames???"

Gray narrowed his eyes, "Black Flames..." He said, "Ultear told me about this. Zancrow is a God Slayer!"

Lucy widened her eyes, "God Slayer??"

They watched as Zancrow readied an attack.

"You stupid son of a bitch!!!" Zancrow growled as the flames on his hands formed into a maw

He then swung the flames on Jason.

"Flame God's Supper!!!"

The maw-shaped flames hit Jason from both sides as they suddenly engulfed him into a massive orb, attempting to burn Jason.

Jason merely stood there, unfazed as Zancrow widened his eyes in shock.

"D-Dammit..." He said as he shook and sweated

"The definition of insanity." Jason said as the flames suddenly began to shrink, "Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting the same result."

The flames were then siphoned into Jason's mouth as he devoured them.

He wiped his mouth as he looked at Zancrow.

"Your flames have no effect on me." He said seriously

The Blue Screen then appeared

"ALERT: 100% THRESHOLD REACHED."

Jason then snapped his fingers and flashed a black light as his magic power released an aura.

"Black God's Conversion."

Suddenly, Jason's aura focused on his chest in a swirling manner. Zancrow widened his eyes as Jason's magic power rose.

Then, it stopped.

Jason then raised his hand, which confused Zancrow. Then, the wall of flames that surrounded them siphoned toward him and focused on his hand.

Zancrow watched as Jason manipulated his flames into his hand and began to eat it again.

"W-What the hell??" He said completely shocked

As Jason finished eating the flames, both Gray and Lucy watched in complete shock as well.

"What the hell?" Gray exclaimed

"Jason is a God Slayer too?" Lucy said, "He ate the flames..."

Zancrow then clenched his fists, "You bastard." He said, "You think you can scare me with your tricks???"

Jason then raised his hand and a black light emerged from it and formed into an orb of pure black light.

"I am the Black God." He said, "While you can eat any flames you want as the Flame God. I can eat anything black. That includes your flames, you filthy piece of shit."

Zancrow engulfed himself in flames, "Y-You think I'll buy that shit?!" He said, "I'll-"

"Black God's Fist."

In an instant, Jason had appeared in front of him, hitting him with a punch. As he made contact, Zancrow as engulfed in the black light which propelled him backward, sending him flying.

He crashed into a building next to Lucy and Gray as the two watched in awe.

Zancrow's face was covered in blood as he struggled to get up.

He looked at Jason, "What....power..." he managed as he clutched his head, "What kinda magic is that?"

Jason then appeared in front of him, grabbed him by the hair, and launched him into the air. The Flame God Slayer was in complete shock at this.

Jason then reared his head back as he looked up.

"Black God's Bellow."

Jason fired his breath attack, sending a massive beam of black light that dwarfed Zancrow. The breath reached all the way to the sky as it somehow still blinded everyone.

"What power!!" Gray said as he covered his face

"God Slayer Magic???" Lucy exclaimed, "I didn't know he used that!! He didn't use it against Tartaros!!"

Zancrow fell to the ground, his whole body was filled with blood as he coughed up even more.

"W-What is this..." He said as he struggled to get up, "M-Master Hades...you...didn't tell me about this...power...."

Jason appeared in front of him, "This is the power of darkness." Jason said as he reared his fist back, "Far beyond your capabilities."

Jason drove his fist down at Zancrow, firing off black light that completely engulfed both Jason and Zancrow, resulting in an explosion.

Jason straightened up as he saw that Zancrow was still struggling to move.

"Oh no." Jason said with veins popping on his forehead, "We're not done."

He raised his hand over Zancrow.

"High Heal."

Suddenly, a green mist engulfed Zancrow, healing his injuries.

Zancrow noticed this and smirked.

"Ha!!!" He said as he erupted flames from his fists, "Healing your enemies?!?! How stu-"

Jason kicked him in the stomach, causing him to cough up even more blood.

"Gahh!!!" He shouted

"I'm not healing cause I feel bad, for you." Jason growled, "I'm doing this so I can still beat the fuck out of you until I'm fucking satisfied!!!"

Jason then grabbed Zancrow by the shoulders and kneed him multiple times in the chest, completely shattering them.

Despite being healed, Zancrow was absolutely helpless.

"You dare...." Jason said as he punched him to the ground, "You dare hurt Kagura....you dare hurt her....."

Zancrow laid on the ground as he clutched his chest, barely being able to breath. He then saw as Jason's fist came down on him and completely shatter his right side with a single blow.

"Gahh!!" He let out as blood splurted out of his face

Jason continued to punch him repeatedly in the face and the body. He didn't stop, he could feel the anger rise every time he made contact with his fists.

"YOU TOOK MY CHILD FROM ME!!!!" Jason bellowed, "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU FUCKER."

"Jason!!!" Lucy held him from behind

Jason stopped, looked behind at her.

"What?!?" He said, "I'm not done ye-"

"It's over, Jason!!!" Gray shouted, "He's done."

Jason looked down.

Zancrow laid there, not moving. His face was completely destroyed, covered in nothing but blood. HIs chest was caved in and his bones were visible.

Jason could tell that the god slayer was somehow still breathing despite the horrifying injuries.

Jason slowly lowered his arms and looked at them, they were covered in blood.

He was panting, his body shaking in pure adrenaline.

"Jason...." Lucy said softly, "It's over...."

Jason couldn't help still be filled with rage.

He moved Lucy's arm off of him.

"Move." He said as turned around and walked past her

Lucy and Gray didn't say a word as they both watched Jason walk away. They then looked down at Zancrow, who was clinging to life barely.

Gray sighed,

"So it's come to this..."
