On the Grand Magic Games stadium.
They saw Jura continuously swinging his arms.
Under the manipulation of his magic, thick rock pillars emerged from the ground one after another.
Those rock pillars, like living creatures, attacked Gildarts from various angles.
And Gildarts dodged left and right, avoiding all the attacks from the rock pillars.
At this moment, a series of system prompts also sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +17]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +18!]
…
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Rock Magic attribute!]
While the system prompts sounded, golden Magic Power attributes continuously dropped from Jura's body over on the battlefield.
If it were seven years ago, Kenichi would have been very excited to hear this series of system prompts.
After all, every time Jura attacked, the system would drop nearly 20 points of Magic Power attributes.
In just a few secpmds, Kenichi's Magic Power could increase by several hundred.
But now, Kenichi's Magic Power had already exceeded 1 million.
With a base of over 1 million, even an increase of a few thousand or tens of thousands of Magic Power points was just a fraction for Kenichi.
So hearing the continuous system prompts, Kenichi felt no fluctuation in his heart.
It was only when the system notified him of the dropped Rock Magic attribute that Kenichi's expression shifted slightly.
Back during the campaign against the Oracion Seis, Kenichi had wanted to obtain Jura's Rock Magic attribute.
But after the battle, the system hadn't dropped the Rock Magic attribute.
Kenichi never expected that seven years later, Jura's Rock Magic attribute would drop here at the Grand Magic Games.
Although the Rock Magic attribute wasn't very useful for Kenichi now, since the system dropped it, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
[Host, would you like to collect the Rock Magic attribute?]
'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the Rock Magic attribute on the battlefield, along with the other Magic Power attributes, all converged towards Kenichi.
After those attributes merged into Kenichi's body, the [Rock Magic] attribute was also added to the Magic column on Kenichi's virtual screen.
While Kenichi was collecting attributes, the battle between Gildarts and Jura on the battlefield had reached the climax.
They saw Jura's eyes suddenly widen, his joined fingers sweeping towards the sky.
In the next second, 8 thick rock arms shot out from the ground around Gildarts.
Those rock arms, like living creatures, actually curved in arcs to pincer-attack Gildarts on the ground below.
"Good! Jura has blocked all escape routes! The opponent can't avoid it!"
Lyon on the stands, seeing the 8 arms rushing towards Gildarts, was immediately delighted.
And Cana clenched her fists, a look of worry on her face.
Bzzzt-
Just as the 8 arms were about to hit Gildarts, a white light erupted from Gildarts's body.
In the next second, the 8 rock arms instantly turned into powder.
"What happened?"
"That guy clearly didn't make a move. How did Jura's magic all shatter?"
The spectators on the stands, seeing this, were all extremely puzzled.
Although the audience didn't know what happened, Kenichi, Natsu, and the others on the stands curled the corners of their mouths into smiles.
"Indeed, as the intelligence said, Gildarts possesses magic that can crush everything!"
The Pumpkin Man, watching this, was also extremely excited.
Jura, seeing his magic so easily neutralized by Gildarts, was first shocked, then a smile also appeared on his face.
"As expected of the man even Master Makarov holds in high regard!"
"In that case, I will also use my full power from now on!"
As he spoke, Jura's palms came together violently.
Bzzzt-
At that moment, Jura's body was covered in a golden light.
Simultaneously, the entire ground of the Grand Magic Games venue began to shake.
"What's going on?"
"Earthquake?"
The ordinary spectators on the stands, feeling the ground shake, immediately became restless.
And the mages all had drastic changes in expression.
"This Magic Power is terrifying!"
"Is this the strength of a Wizard Saint?"
"Not just Jura! That Gildarts's Magic Power is also frighteningly huge!"
As everyone spoke, Jura and Gildarts on the stadium both released their magic power.
They saw Jura's body covered in a layer of pale golden light, while Gildarts's body was wreathed in a red glow.
In the eyes of the weaker mages, Jura and Gildarts at this moment were like invincible monsters, inspiring immense fear.
"Oh? Preparing for a final showdown?"
Natsu, looking at Gildarts's serious expression, said excitedly.
"It's rare to see Gildarts with such an expression!"
Gray also commented.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Kenichi, Erza, and the others, Jura, having unleashed his magic power, made the first move.
"Rumbling Mt. Fuji!"
Jura shouted low, then the arm wrapped in golden light swept forward violently.
Bzzzt-
At that moment, an extremely dazzling light erupted from Gildarts's location.
This light even surpassed the sunlight in the sky, completely submerging everything in the Grand Magic Games venue.
Boom-
Immediately after, a violent explosion sound echoed through the air.
The explosion came and went quickly.
After a few seconds, the dazzling light dissipated.
"What's the situation?"
"Did he get him?"
The spectators in the surrounding stands lowered their arms shielding their eyes and looked towards the stadium.
Soon, everyone discovered that Gildarts on the stadium had his arms crossed in front of him, steam rising from his body, but he remained standing in the same spot, motionless.
"How is that possible? He withstood Jura-san's Rumbling Mt. Fuji?"
Lyon, Sherry, and the other Lamia Scale members, seeing Gildarts on the stadium slowly lower his arms and reveal a smile, were all unable to believe it.
They knew all too well how strong Jura was.
And Rumbling Mt. Fuji was one of Jura's strongest moves...
Under this move, even a mountain could be shattered).
But now, Gildarts had withstood Jura's move.
Naturally, Lyon, Sherry, and the others were very shocked.
"Ah, it seems I withstood it. Then, it's my turn now!"
Gildarts said with a grin, then stepped forward, forming a fist.
"Is he going to use that move?"
Seeing Gildarts's familiar stance, Kenichi's eyebrows raised.
As Kenichi spoke, Gildarts threw a punch towards Jura.
This punch had no fancy tricks… it contained only destructive power.
Jura, seeing the terrifying aura on Gildarts, didn't dare neglect in the slightest. He brought his palms together violently.
"Rock Mountain!"
Bzzzt-
In the next second, a giant rock statue, clad in armor with palms pressed together like a war god, rose from the ground, directly blocking Gildarts.
Facing this giant rock statue, Gildarts's punching momentum didn't pause for a moment.
"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth!"
Boom-
Soon, Gildarts's fist struck the giant rock statue.
Although this rock statue was Jura's strongest defensive magic, before Gildarts's fist containing Crush Magic, it instantly turned into dust.
After shattering Jura's defensive magic, Gildarts's punching momentum didn't diminish at all, directly landing on Jura's body.
Jura, suffering the heavy blow, was sent flying like a cannonball.
From Gildarts's attack to Jura being sent flying, it was only the span of a single second.
Because everything happened too quickly, the audience hadn't even reacted yet.
By the time they reacted, they only saw rock fragments scattering in the sky and Jura flying backward.
"What just happened?"
"Wizard Saint Jura was defeated?"
Seeing this, the huge venue fell into silence for a short while, with only a few spectators speaking in uncertain voices.
"Amazing! This is truly an unexpected scene! Wizard Saint Jura was knocked down by Gildarts with one punch!"
"What an exciting battle!"
After hearing the live commentator, the silent stadium instantly erupted.
"So strong!"
"He actually defeated Wizard Saint Jura!"
"This Gildarts is way too powerful!"
…
The spectators on the stands were all extremely excited.
They cheered for Gildarts, they cheered for this thrilling battle.
"As expected of Gildarts!"
Kenichi looked at Gildarts on the stadium, who still maintained his punching posture, and said with a grin.
Hearing Kenichi, Erza and Mirajane both glanced at Kenichi.
"Gildarts is too strong! Even with a 7-year gap, he can defeat Jura!"
At this moment, Gray also said excitedly.
"Of course! That's Gildarts we're talking about!"
Hearing Gray, Natsu looked down at Gildarts, slammed his fist into his palm, and said with a grin.
