Takeshi's Six Eyes swept across the Thunder Palace in the sky. Each magic crystal within it contained powerful lightning energy, and if it erupted, the entire city would be devastated.
Should he deal with it now?
He could use Blue to destroy all of those things, but then, who knew what other tricks Laxus might pull?
It wasn't too late to deal with him first, then handle this.
Takeshi's gaze swept around, finding his next target.
"Found him!"
He stepped and appeared in front of Bickslow.
At this moment, many members of Fairy Tail, recently defeated by Bickslow, lay on the ground.
"Takeshi!"
Takeshi's sudden appearance startled Bickslow. Like Evergreen, he had also witnessed Takeshi's battles.
Whether it was Tyrant or Whitebeard, both of those transformations were monstrously strong.
Before the battle began, Laxus had instructed them that if they encountered Takeshi, they should run if possible. They were no match for Takeshi, he would handle Takeshi himself.
This form should be Takeshi's new transformation.
According to intel, Whitebeard should be Takeshi's strongest transformation, but that transformation was almost impossible to use in the city, otherwise the entire city could be destroyed.
As long as it wasn't Whitebeard, he felt he might not lose. If he could defeat Takeshi, he could not only help Laxus clear obstacles but also become famous overnight.
Bickslow stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Such a thought was very tempting.
"Go! Babies!"
Bickslow controlled the wooden puppets to fire light bullets at Takeshi. But the light bullets all stopped in front of Takeshi.
"What?!"
Clearly, this situation was somewhat unexpected for Bickslow.
"Line Formation!"
The five puppets linked up in a line and collectively fired a laser.
Takeshi raised his hand, and the slash stopped in front of his palm, then, as he waved it aside, the direction of the laser immediately changed.
Crack!
The nearby house was cut in half by the beam.
"Ugh..."
Seeing that this attack had no effect on Takeshi, Bickslow immediately got cold feet and turned to flee.
Whoosh!
Takeshi instantly appeared in front of Bickslow.
"Teleportation?! Damn it!"
Bickslow's hair stood on end. He hadn't expected Takeshi to be able to instantly move.
Bang!
Takeshi kicked Bickslow in the body.
"Ugh!"
Bickslow felt a terrifying sharp pain coming from his abdomen.
Whoosh!
Boom...
Bickslow's body crashed into a nearby building, shattering the wall.
"Dealt with two, two more to go."
Whoosh!
The next instant, Takeshi arrived in front of Kardia Cathedral.
Freed was already standing in front of Kardia Cathedral, seemingly waiting for his arrival.
"Freed."
This was Takeshi's first time seeing Freed outside of the anime. In the anime, besides being handsome, Freed was also a very reliable man. Although he didn't have much screen time, he left a deep impression, especially his magic.
"Takeshi."
Freed assessed Takeshi, this man who had continuously created legends since joining the guild. Compared to the recklessness of Bickslow and Evergreen, he was much calmer.
Takeshi's gaze swept around Kardia Cathedral. Under the discernment of his Six Eyes, he saw that the area around was densely covered with runes.
"You've really prepared thoroughly."
"After all, my opponent is you. No amount of preparation is too much."
"What? You're so eager for Laxus to win?"
"Yes. I am a member of the Thunder God Tribe, a follower of Laxus. Our mission is to assist Laxus in achieving his ideals."
"Even if his ideals will harm his guildmates, it doesn't matter?"
"..."
Freed was silent for a moment, then firmly stated, "It doesn't matter. I am Laxus's personal guard, his comrade. I will carry out all of his orders."
"I see. Then I won't say any more."
Takeshi stepped forward.
Whoosh!
A barrier rose.
[Rule: Anyone inside this barrier who uses magic will suffer from oxygen deprivation.]
Takeshi raised his hand, and Blue appeared in his palm. He pressed it towards the barrier.
Crack!
The barrier gnawed and shattered upon contact with Blue.
"What?!"
Freed was greatly astonished. He knew that his barrier might not stop Takeshi, but for it to be destroyed so easily still left him in disbelief.
Normally, the rules are absolute, but Takeshi, upon entering the barrier, actually ignored the rules.
Logically, Takeshi, currently using Take-Over magic, should have suffered oxygen deprivation and collapsed immediately upon entering the barrier.
Takeshi asked, "What? You find it unbelievable?"
"Why haven't you collapsed after using magic? This is impossible. Within the barrier, the rules are absolute, and everyone must obey them. How are you unharmed?"
"You have your technique, and I have mine. Your technique is written on the ground or in the air, while my technique is inscribed in my brain."
"You also have a jutsu shiki?!"
"Yes! But it's not quite like yours. The technique I possess is called Limitless. In simple terms, it divides the concept of distance into an infinite magnitude. For example, one centimeter can be divided into 10 millimeters, or 10,000 micrometers, 10,000,000 nanometers, and I'm not sure what other units of measurement exist after that."
"From the moment I entered this barrier, the rules you created began to act upon me. However, this effect had to continuously break through my Limitless. Unfortunately, before the rules of your barrier could even affect me, it had already been broken."
Freed's face immediately turned serious upon hearing Takeshi's words.
This was the first time he had encountered someone like Takeshi.
If what the other party said was true, wouldn't all the rules he had created be ineffective against him?
However, he didn't fully believe what Takeshi said, as it was the jutsu shiki he had studied for many years.
Whoosh!
As Takeshi took one step, the next barrier appeared.
[Rule: Within this barrier, magic is not allowed.]
Seeing that Takeshi still maintained his form within the barrier, he immediately understood that Takeshi had not lied just now.
"Monster!"
