333. Domination

Ben's grin stiffens after he said those words. He has just realized that he was being cringed just now. Luckily, no one there thinks about it because they are too wary of Ben's next move, and they all are better than Ben at being cringe.

Anyway, Ben focuses on his battle again and stretches his body a little while walking forward slowly. Everyone grits their teeth before they rush toward him. They can't let him make the first move because they know they won't be able to stop him.

Those who have powerful long-range spells shoot their spells at Ben from their positions. Ben just grins before he covers both his arms with his Sun Dragon Flame. Then he places his arms on his right side while lowering his body.

It's the same stance as when Natsu used his Dragon Slayer Secret Art against the Twin Dragons. Well, it's not just the same stance, Ben is actually copying Natsu's spell. But he uses his Sun Dragon Slayer Magic's fire element, so it's really a copy of Natsu's spell.

Ben grins as he asks, "Natsu did it like this, right? Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Sun Dragon Version! Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"

Ben swings his arms to the left while also spinning his body like Natsu. Then a spiral fire attack that creates some explosions comes out of his arms. But this attack is far bigger and stronger than what Natsu made in the battle with the Twin Dragons.

Ben's massive spell clashes with all attacks that are aimed at him. The impact of the clash is so powerful that the entire city starts to tremble. The shockwave also destroys nearby buildings before spreading throughout the city.

All Fairy Tail Mages who are still fighting stop their fight for a moment because of the strong magic power clash that they feel. They all know it comes from Ben's battle and their bodies are trembling because of it.

Their instincts are screaming at them to run right now even though they know they aren't the targets. The same thing happens to the Mages who fight Ben. Though their fear is greater because they are the targets of Ben's attack.

The Mages see Ben's fire engulf and destroys their combination attack. After that, the fire moves toward them, making them scatter everywhere to avoid it. But many of them can't escape from it and get engulfed by the fire that keeps moving and destroys buildings until it reaches the city border that is protected by barriers.

The destructive power of that attack makes everyone dumbfounded. Ben basically destroys the Royal Capital with just one attack. The citizens aren't worried because the Royal Family will rebuild the buildings for them, so it's fine for them, but it's not fine for the Royal Family.

Though the Royal Family can't be bothered by it now. They've just fully realized who they tried to mess with. Ben has negotiated with them after the incident in the Palace and has come to an agreement. They feel very relieved that they made that deal now.

Back on the battlefield, Ben is seen scratching his head and smiling stiffly. He never thought that the effect of his attack will be this great. That spell has a high amount of power, but Ben thought that the power will reduce a lot after clashing with the Mages' attacks.

However, Ben forgets that just because they attack at the same time, doesn't mean that their attacks are merging well. The attacks of people who have just started working together won't combine well. They are clashing against each other and it made their attacks weaker, making it easier for Ben's attack to destroy theirs.

Because of that strong attack, many Mages get defeated. The only ones left are the ones who could evade or withstand that attack. Jura, Lyon, Ichiya, Kagura, Minerva, Orga, and Sting are the only ones left. Both team Scarmiglione and team Quatro Cerberus get wiped out by that attack.

Ben has taken out 23 people in this battle and only 7 are left now. He dominated this battle in an instant after he was done with his little test and decided to go on the offensive. It even makes people wonder why he even got pushed back before because they don't know that he was just experimenting.

"So it's Phase 2 now?" asks Ben while looking at the 7 Mages with a smile.

The 7 Mages' expressions are quite complicated right now. They have fewer numbers than before which means their attack power has reduced. Their attacks didn't even work well before, so it will be more difficult now.

Even though it will be easier to manage 7 people than 30 people, they've lost their strategist Rufus & communicator Hibiki. So it will be more difficult to work together despite them having fewer people. Their chance to win has dropped significantly.

"Everyone, even if our chance is very low and we most probably will lose, we shouldn't give up. It is not shameful to lose to a Great Mage, but it is a great shame to give up just because we think we will lose. I don't know about you, but I haven't given up," says Jura while recreating his Stone Armor.

Jura then rushes toward Ben, followed by Lyon, Ichiya, & Kagura. The 4 of them have the same thinking while the Sting & Orga look at Minerva first. Minerva hesitates for a moment but it's truly a big mistake to even hesitate while fighting Ben.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?" asks Ben who suddenly appears behind Minerva.

Minerva widens her eyes and he jumps to the front reflexively. She looks back, but Ben has disappeared and appears behind her again. Ben then grabs her head and slams her face into the floor very hard.

He doesn't hesitate to hurt even a woman if she is his enemy. Besides, he is still not satisfied with the punishment that Laxus gave her after she hurt Lucy. But he is still holding back by just slamming her face into the floor instead of using his strong spells.

"I've told you that you shouldn't mess with my guild. Yet you foolishly hurt my friend in front of my eyes. Laxus has given you a little lesson, so I will just do this much," says Ben before he throws Minerva to Sting who rushes to his location with Orga.

Sting catches Minerva and Orga is approached by Ben in an almost instant movement. Orga has prepared his Lightning God Slayer Magic in his arms. He also has prepared himself for Ben's speed, so he shoots his black Lightning at Ben immediately when he sees Ben.

The big black lightning beam hits Ben and engulfs him. But then a thin yellow laser beam pierces through the big black lightning beam and hits Orga's body. That thin laser creates a massive explosion that also hits Minerva & Sting who are close to Orga.

Those 3 get taken out by that explosion, leaving only Jura, Lyon, Ichiya, & Jura who couldn't reach Ben's position at the right time. They don't stop running at him even though those 3 get defeated. Those 3 aren't their guildmates anyway, so they don't really care.

The only thing that matters to them now is attacking Ben. But it's almost impossible to defeat him now when he gets serious. Still, they don't want to go down without a fight because for them, giving up is worse than getting defeated fairly.

Ben answers their wish and he starts attacking them. He starts with Kagura who he doesn't really know. Ben dashes toward her at a fast, but not so fast speed, so she can see him. She slashes her sword at Ben, but he catches it with his bare hand, repeating what Mira did in her battle against Kagura.

Kagura isn't surprised anymore, she just sighs before receiving a hit in the stomach that knocks her out. Right after that, Ichiya's Armpit Perfume smell lingers in the air. It's a very stinky smell that becomes worse for Ben because his nose is very sensitive.

So Ben immediately dashes at Ichiya and sends a strong uppercut at him to knock him out with a very pissed emotion. Jura & Lyon are a little glad that Ben sent Ichiya away because the very stinky smell also hits them, making them unable to attack Ben.

Ben doesn't waste time and defeats the stunned Jura & Lyon with his Sun Dragon's Wing attack. It's an attack where Ben slashes his arms which are coated by golden solar energy at his opponents. He made it very strong so it can take out both Jura & Lyon at the same time.

Ben then pinches his nose with an annoyed expression, "Damn, he sure knows how to piss people off."
