Chapter 71 : Kyros vs Jose!

"Wow!!

"Wow ah ah ah ah!" Totomaru of Fire screamed as his body arched through the air and crashed into the lake, losing consciousness.

At that moment, a tall figure materialized behind Kyros like a silent specter. It was Aria of the Sky, the leader of the Four Element of Phantom Lord Guild.

"Airspace Extermination!!

"Om!" The spell was unleashed in an instant, striking Kyros.

Tears streamed down Aria's face like a fountain as he cried out mournfully, "Wow! Such sorrow!! How can it be so heart-wrenching!! Ah! Is it because a great wizard is about to be lost!!"

Suddenly, Kyros's voice cut through, "Silence! Fool! Who are you weeping for? It's repulsive."

"Gah!" Aria's sobbing abruptly halted at Kyros's rebuke.

Seeing Kyros unscathed before him, Aria widened his eyes in disbelief, "No! It can't be! You were clearly ensnared in my magic; your magical power should have been drained."

For a mage, the depletion of magical power isn't merely an inconvenience; it could endanger their life. The more potent the mage, the graver the consequences of magical exhaustion.

"Magical power? Such a thing never existed to begin with!!" Kyros countered, swiftly closing the distance and delivering a punch to Aria's abdomen.

"Wow ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Aria crashed through several walls before being hurled out of the Phantom Lord's guild, plummeting into the lake. Like Totomaru of Fire, her eyes glazed over as she lost consciousness.

"By the way, there's another one incoming." Kyros glanced at the ground.

Sol of the Earth immediately felt as though he were being stalked by a predator, his body trembling involuntarily.

"Escape!!"

Sol of Earth fled hastily. Totomaru of Fire, Juvia of Water, Aria of Sky, and Gajeel, the mightiest wizard of the Phantom Lord Guild, had all been effortlessly defeated by this monstrosity; he stood no chance at all.

It wasn't a matter of lacking strength; the foe was simply too formidable. He would only meet his end in vain if he stayed, so he must flee!!

With earth magic, Sol's speed was impressive, swiftly descending several layers below Kyros.

"It seems safe now," Sol remarked, his voice laced with caution.

"Boom!"

The sudden explosion echoed through the room, startling Sol. He instinctively looked up, only to witness a colossal fist crashing through the ceiling, hurtling towards him with menacing force.

"No, no, no—!"

"Boom!"

The mighty fist collided with Sol of the Earth, piercing through multiple floors until it dissipated on the final level, leaving Sol gravely injured and unconscious.

Thus far, Jose's five strongest memebers, including Gajeel and the Element 4, had all succumbed to Kyros's prowess.

"No! How can this be possible? My Element 4! And Gajeel was defeated so effortlessly! This cannot be!" Jose exclaimed incredulously, his voice tinged with fury.

Kyros responded nonchalantly, "Nothing is impossible. All your comrades have fallen, and you are next."

"You insolent brat! Do not underestimate me!"

Jose's body emanated a menacing black aura of death, instilling a profound sense of fear in those around him.

"Humph!" Kyros snorted disdainfully, his overpowering presence dispersing Jose's aura of death.

"Ghost Arrows!"

Dark arrows, resembling spectral entities, darted towards Kyros.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The arrows exploded upon impact with Kyros.

"Dark Spiral!"

Jose conjured the dark spiral magic once more.

"Boom!"

"Dark Light!"

Jose's palm struck the ground, unleashing a barrage of dark rays towards Kyros.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

The dark rays tore through the ground, advancing towards Kyros's position.

"Boom—!"

A deafening explosion ensued, causing the Phantom Lord guild to tremble.

"Hahaha! Foolish child! Your end is nigh. Merely defeating a few of my allies does not make you worthy of challenging me. The Ten Wizard Saints are beyond the likes of you, hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Kyros's voice reverberated from the epicenter of the explosion.

"Crack!"

"What?!" José was stunned, looking towards the center of the explosion, where Kyros stood unharmed.

"Wow!" Kyros twisted his neck with a casual gesture. "I thought Ten Wizard Saints was formidable, but this is underwhelming."

José's expression darkened, and he roared, "You arrogant brat! You'll learn the power of the Ten Wizard Saints now!"

With a surge of magic power, José's eyes turned black, emanating an ominous aura.

"What terrifying magic!"

"Is this the power of the Wizard Saint?"

"I hope Kyros can handle José."

Fairy Tail members felt the sinister aura, their concern for Kyros growing.

Mirajane reassured them, "Have faith! Kyros will prevail."

"Dark Beam!"

Several black-purple beams shot from José's palm, hitting Kyros relentlessly, causing him to stagger as if defenseless.

"Hahaha! Perish! You, a mere Makarov offspring, dare challenge me? Delusional! I am one of the Ten Wizard Saints, the mightiest in Ishgar! Not even Makarov could stand against me now! After I'm done with you, I'll obliterate the rest of Fairy Tail, starting with Makarov! I'll erase Fairy Tail from existence!"

"Think again," Kyros's voice cut through.

José's expression shifted as he looked at Kyros. Despite being battered by his own magic, Kyros showed no signs of injury.

"This can't be!"

José couldn't believe it. As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, his attacks should have left even Makarov helpless.

"What... what are you?!"
