Erza said, "I want to stay here."
Even though she might be a burden here, she had to stay. Everything started because of her, so she also had to witness the end with her own eyes.
"Alright."
Takeshi didn't think much of it, but since he was going to beat up Erza's ex-boyfriend (?), he should at least inform her.
"Hmph! You think you can defeat me while dragging a burden? You're truly arrogant. I'm no ordinary Mage, I earned the title of a Wizard Saint with just my thought projection."
Jellal showed off the Ten Wizard Saints emblem hanging around his neck. This was a unique emblem awarded by the Magic Council to the Ten Wizard Saints. Only the ten strongest individuals on the entire Ishgar continent could achieve this honor.
"The feeling is mutual. Erza has never been a burden. In the upcoming battle, with a beautiful woman cheering me on, my combat power will reach 120%. And, are the Ten Wizard Saints really so impressive? I remember defeating one not long ago, and his strength was just average."
Hearing Takeshi say that the Ten Wizard Saints' strength was average, Jellal was displeased. He was also one of the Ten Wizard Saints, so for the other party to look down on the Ten Wizard Saints was to look down on him.
Jellal asked, "Hmph! What if I make a move on Erza? What will you do?"
Takeshi said, "What will I do? What else can I do? Of course, I'll stop you. But after I stop you, do you believe I'll tear down this thing under my feet?"
Jellal's expression changed. The Tower of Heaven was something he had spent eight years building. He didn't want to waste another eight years.
As for whether Takeshi could destroy the Tower of Heaven, it was certain. Not long ago, Takeshi's attack had left him with lingering fear. At that time, his eight years of effort were almost completely destroyed, so it seemed Erza couldn't be touched.
"Since that's the case, let's begin. Let me turn you to ashes with my Celestial Magic."
Jellal didn't plan to waste any more words. He had just managed to consume Takeshi's magic power, and if his magic power recovered, it would be troublesome.
Meteor!
Whoosh!
Jellal emitted a yellow light and rapidly rushed towards Takeshi.
Takeshi had a kunai in his hand and stabbed towards Jellal.
Whoosh!
Jellal rapidly turned, rushing towards Takeshi's back from behind.
"Take this!"
Whoosh!
Takeshi's body instantly vanished, leaving behind a kunai with a jutsu formula.
"What?!"
Jellal was slightly stunned, then remembered that Takeshi, in this state, could use teleportation magic.
While Jellal was momentarily stunned, Takeshi moved quickly, appearing to Jellal's side, and stabbed the kunai in his hand towards Jellal's temple.
Whoosh!
Jellal instantly accelerated and dodged. Then he quickly made a circle.
Takeshi casually threw the kunai in his hand towards Jellal.
One after another, Jellal used Meteor to accelerate and dodge all of them, and the kunai landed on the surrounding buildings.
"It's useless. In front of my speed, your attacks can't hit me at all. But all my attacks can hit you. How many more times can you use your teleportation magic?"
Jellal flew continuously in the air. Teleportation magic was known to consume a lot of magic power. He felt that Takeshi couldn't use it many more times, and when his magic power ran out, that would be his death.
"So fast!!
Erza's expression was somewhat serious. Jellal was too fast, her eyes could barely keep up.
Was Jellal really this strong? If this continued, Takeshi would be in danger once his magic power ran out.
"Speed, huh…"
Hearing Jellal's words, the corners of Takeshi's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Minato who he had transformed into was known as the Yellow Flash. In the Ninja world, Minato was second to none in terms of speed.
"Take this!"
Jellal attacked Takeshi, wanting to force him to use teleportation, thereby greatly consuming his magic power.
Whoosh!
Takeshi's body vanished, which was completely within Jellal's expectations. Now he just had to wait for Takeshi to appear before launching his next attack.
Swish!
Takeshi's figure suddenly appeared in front of Jellal.
"What?!"
Jellal was startled, not expecting Takeshi to suddenly teleport in front of him. At this moment, he no longer had time to dodge.
Bang!!
Takeshi punched Jellal in the face.
"Ahhh!"
Jellal felt a burning pain in his face, and his body was sent flying horizontally. Before he could react, Takeshi appeared beside him again and struck his back with an elbow.
"Ahhhhh!"
Next, Takeshi's body continuously flickered, and Jellal was constantly attacked.
"Arghhhh!"
Jellal screamed continuously as he was beaten, his body like a bouncing ball.
Erza watched dumbfounded. Jellal's speed was already great enough, her eyes could barely keep up, but Takeshi's speed was even greater.
Meteor!
The light on Jellal's body grew even brighter, and he instantly accelerated into the air, causing Takeshi's attack to miss.
Jellal's face was extremely grim, and he looked very disheveled. He reached up to wipe away the blood from the corner of his lips, his gaze disbelieving as he looked at Takeshi.
"Impossible! How can you use teleportation magic so many times? And be so fast?!"
Space magic wasn't particularly rare. For example, Erza's Requip magic belonged to the space category. However, teleportation magic similar to instant movement was very rare.
This kind of teleportation magic required precise positioning, which meant that each use would consume a certain amount of time, and at the same time, it required a large amount of magic power. After a few teleports, the magic power would be depleted.
But Takeshi shattered his understanding. It was impossible for anyone to perform multiple instantaneous movements in such a short period of time.
At this moment, Jellal noticed the kunai Takeshi had thrown out earlier and suddenly understood.
"So that's it. Those kunai are your spatial coordinates for positioning."
"Oh, you're quite smart."
"Are you just going to keep dragging this out? If you continue in this state, I won't make a move easily."
Jellal had figured it out now. He could destroy all those kunai, but as long as the other party remained in this state, he had almost no chance of killing him.
Judging by how far Takeshi could teleport Etherion, if he wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to stop him at all.
To be honest, if such a guy escaped, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
"Hmm… you're right. Come on, this time I won't transform into this character."
Takeshi deactivated the Take-Over magic.
Although Minato was very powerful, dealing with Jellal who could fly and was extremely fast was very troublesome.
Seeing Takeshi so easily deactivate the transformation, Jellal was overjoyed.
This guy was an idiot.
