Gaal: Gathering for Team Battles!

The original work never mentioned when Ivan left.

However, Ivan has already gone to the Southern Continent to search for the Elemental Crystal, and soon Laxus's problem will be resolved as well.

That means it won't be long before Ivan's departure.

We can only take things one step at a time.

Gildarts asked about the Guild situation again, and Gaal didn't hide anything, chatting for a while.

After listening, Gildarts looked a bit puzzled, "Isn't the Guild doing well? Then why did you call me here?"

Gaal rubbed his chin and glanced at Gildarts, saying, "What if I said I want to teach you a lesson?"

Gildarts was momentarily stunned, pointing to himself with a finger, "Huh? Teach me?"

Then his expression shifted, and the corners of Gildarts's mouth tilted upwards, "You're feeling quite confident, aren't you? You've grown this much in a few years. But if you think you can teach me a lesson, you have a long way to go."

Gaal chuckled, "Just don't get too complacent and end up making a mistake."

Gildarts crossed his arms confidently, looking at Gaal without saying a word.

Gaal turned to Gray, speaking up, "Gray. You go over there first."

Without waiting for Gray to react, 

whoosh! 

Using magic, Gaal teleported Gray to a distant mountaintop.

Gray found himself on the mountain, bewildered, looking around, trying to figure out where he was.

Until he spotted two small black dots on the rocky plain far below, he confirmed that those were Gaal and Gildarts:

"Was it really necessary to send me this far? I can't even see clearly."

After pondering for a moment, Gray pointed his hands forward, conjuring magic in his palms:

"Ice-Make: Telescope."

Two large, concave ice mirrors appeared before Gray, aimed at the rocky plain in the distance.

With the aid of the ice telescope, Gray could now see the silhouettes of the two figures clear as day, despite their previous smallness.

On the desolate plain, Gaal and Gildarts stood facing each other, only about twenty meters apart.

A gust of wind swept by, rustling their robes.

Gildarts looked at Gaal and said, "Come on, Gaal. Let me see what you've grown into these past few years."

Gaal smirked slightly, raising a hand to glide over the Poké Ball at his waist, "Then I won't hold back."

The Poké Ball at his waist floated up, glowing purple, before rapidly expanding and shooting high into the sky.

The sky, once clear blue, was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.

Boom!

A gigantic purple lightning bolt struck down, and the Gigantamax Gengar emerged from the ground where the lightning had hit, grinning sinisterly as it locked eyes on Gildarts.

The abyssal maw, nearly twenty meters high, resembled a dark gateway to hell, sending shivers down the spine.

However, Gildarts remained unfazed, looking up with interest, "So that's the summoned beast named Gengar? You've managed to pull off something like this."

Judging by its aura, it was at least comparable to an S-Class Mage's summon.

The battle began the moment Gengar appeared.

Gaal's voice resonated, "Gengar, Psycko!"

The eyes of the Gigantamax Gengar erupted with a red, malevolent light, compressing a massive psychic force around Gildarts:

"Jie—!"

The enormous psychic energy, condensed around Gildarts, felt almost tangible.

Boom!

Gildarts's body lifted off the ground, creating a large crater below him.

Under the immense pressure of the psychic force, Gildarts found it difficult to even raise his hand. He shook his neck slightly, his expression turning grave, a smirk creeping onto his lips, indicating that he was excited:

"You've got some potential, Gaal. I'm going to take this seriously now."

Gildarts clenched his fists tightly and gradually started to push outward.

The expression of the Gigantamax Gengar shifted.

Can't contain it?!

Before Gengar could think too much more,

Boom!!!

A surge of violent magic erupted from Gildarts's body, his magic power went wild, causing Gigantamax Gengar's psychic force to spiral out of control.

In the next moment, Gildarts vanished from where he stood, suddenly leaping right in front of the Gigantamax Gengar.

Seeing the slightly terrified eyes of Gigantamax Gengar, Gildarts smirked, his right arm pulled back, magic swirling around it aiming at Gengar's forehead:

"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth..."

Buzz—

A barely audible rustling of wings resonated, pausing Gildarts's motions for a moment.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a yellow streak of light shot past as Gildarts vanished into thin air, hurtling backward at incredible speed.

Gildarts frowned, staring at the large, yellow... Dragonite that had pinned him down.

Trying to cast a spell to decompose its fist,

But in a flash, 

the yellow Dragonite before him vanished. Gildarts adjusted his stance, flipping around in mid-air to steady himself.

At that moment, he sensed an acute feeling of danger emanating from the ground.

Looking down, his pupils narrowed as he instantly activated a Super Advanced Destruction Magic, raising his right arm diagonally downward.

Down on the ground,

The Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales stood tall at over twenty meters, its massive body and nine tails ablaze with white flames, radiating a chilling and divine aura, as it gathered compressed energy, aimed at Gildarts.

Standing atop the Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales, Gaal pointed forward:

"Amplification Magic: Fivefold Stack."

A silver-white amplification magic array appeared in front of the Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales's mouth.

Once the energy within Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales was fully charged,

It raised its head, launching the compressed 'Gigantamax Freeze Time' at Gildarts in the sky, roaring as it did so.

Ultimate energy pierced through Gaal's amplification magic array,

Instantly expanding five times, a brilliant cold light shot towards Gildarts.

Gildarts's expression grew serious as he raised his left hand to join his right in alignment:

"Amplification Magic... That's absolutely against the rules."

Gildarts directed both hands downward, a large roaring magic array forming beneath him:

"Molecular Crush!"

The magic array before Gildarts drastically enlarged.

The Gigantamax Freeze Time collided with the magic array in front of Gildarts.

Boom!

With a massive explosion, the energy that had been compressed to its limits cried out as it shattered.

It decomposed into countless streams of ice-blue light, soaring past Gildarts and up to the sky.

From far away, it resembled a meteor shower.

Gaal, atop Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales, couldn't help but exclaim, "Crush Magic. Now that's against the rules."

Hearing Gaal's words, Gildarts smirked, adjusting his stance as he dove down:

"That line should be mine, don't you think?"

Gaal commanded Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales to launch itself into a full-body slam.

The massive form of Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales erupted with ice-blue light, its limbs pumping as it charged across the ground, shaking the earth beneath it.

Then, it rocketed up like a colossal ice-blue meteor, heading straight for Gildarts.

Gildarts raised his right arm, magic swirling and coalescing as he prepared to strike the enormous ice-blue meteor:

"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth—One Day!!!"

Boom——!!!

The ice-blue meteor halted momentarily as Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales let out a long howl, trying to hold its ground.

However, the overwhelming force caused it to tumble uncontrollably backward towards the ground.

Realizing they couldn't withstand the force.

The Gigantamax Alolan Ninetales used the momentum to spin around.

Its massive nine ice-blue tails rose high as it swung them down towards Gildarts with incredible force.
