Elfman and Evergreen were dumbfounded when they saw Takeshi's new form.
According to Takeshi, he occasionally summons heroic spirits who have died in other worlds, and then he takes over these spirits to transform and use their abilities.
Since Takeshi joined Fairy Tail, he has already displayed seven transformations, each incredibly powerful, and now he is actually showing an eighth one.
"Takeshi, is this your new form?"
Takeshi nodded. "That's right. Don't worry, the stats for this form aren't particularly high, and the hax are average, so you don't need to be concerned."
"Come on. Let me see your strength."
Evergreen and Elfman didn't believe Takeshi at all. None of his transformations were ordinary—they were all monstrous.
"Elfman, we have no choice but to attack."
Although Evergreen had some psychological trauma regarding Takeshi, most of it stemmed from the Gojo Satoru form.
In that form, none of her moves could even touch Takeshi. As long as it wasn't that specific transformation, she felt that she and Elfman combined still had a chance.
"Alright."
Elfman knew there was no retreat now, so he had to make a move.
Full Body Take Over: Beast Soul!
Elfman immediately used his strongest ability, transforming his entire body into the form of a massive Beast King with two horns on his head.
"Oooooohhhhhhh!!!"
Elfman roared and charged toward Takeshi.
The massive beast claws struck out at Takeshi, who retreated, continuously dodging Elfman's attacks.
Crackle! Crackle!
The surrounding large trees were all easily shattered by Elfman.
Elfman, transformed into this state, possessed terrifying strength.
"Get out of the way! Elfman!" Evergreen's voice sounded from above.
Upon hearing this, Elfman immediately backed away.
Evergreen flew in mid-air and said proudly, "Takeshi, with this form, my magic shouldn't be ineffective anymore, right?"
Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Countless needle-shaped explosive bullets shot down toward Takeshi below.
Takeshi moved swiftly.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The needle-shaped explosive bullets landed on the ground, constantly triggering explosions.
"Ahahahaha!"
Evergreen felt incredibly delighted seeing Takeshi fleeing in such a sorry state.
Who was Takeshi?
He was the one who defeated two Wizard Saints, eliminated Oración Seis, one of the strongest Dark Guilds, beat Laxus until he couldn't fight back, and even forced Gildarts to concede defeat.
Now, he was being chased by her. If the guild members saw this scene, her status would greatly increase.
Soon, Takeshi ran to the seaside.
"That's the ocean! This time, you have nowhere to run!" Evergreen said proudly.
But in the blink of an eye, Takeshi ran onto the ocean and stood steadily on the surface of the water.
"What?!"
Elfman and Evergreen were both startled that Takeshi could stand on the sea surface.
"It doesn't matter, just be defeated like this!"
Evergreen continued to fire magic at Takeshi.
Rumble!
The seawater around Takeshi surged violently, completely blocking his surroundings.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
All of Evergreen's magic struck the water wall.
"Water? Water Magic?!"
RUMBLE!!!
At this moment, the seawater surged, and two high-speed rotating spiral streams of water rushed toward Evergreen.
This was B-rank Ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Fang Bullet.
Evergreen quickly flew away.
Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Evergreen detonated the dust particles she had left behind, destroying the pursuing Water Fang Bullet.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
A massive water dragon rose from the surroundings and charged toward Elfman on the shore.
Seeing this, Elfman had no time to dodge and immediately raised his arms to block.
Boom!
"Uwahhh!"
The water dragon's immense impact landed on Elfman's body.
"Elfman!" Evergreen shouted.
"I'm fine! I can handle it!" Elfman gritted his teeth.
Although the attack was fierce, Elfman had taken over The Beast, whose defensive power was inherently high.
"Is that so? How about this, then?"
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Takeshi spat out a massive fireball, three or four meters in diameter, which hurtled toward Elfman.
"Fire?!"
"It came out of his mouth!"
They had only ever seen Natsu breathe fire from his mouth. They never expected Takeshi to also spit out a fireball.
As the fiercely burning fireball rushed forward, Elfman immediately dodged away.
Boom!
The flames incinerated all the trees they touched.
Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!
Evergreen attacked Takeshi again. This technique was fast and dense, making it difficult for anyone to dodge.
Takeshi casually threw a Kunai.
Evergreen's expression changed, and she quickly dodged.
Elfman seized the opportunity to rush in front of Takeshi, continuously attacking him with his massive fists, while Takeshi dodged back and forth.
"Evergreen, I've got him pinned! Use that move!" Elfman shouted at Evergreen.
Evergreen was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed. "You idiot! What are you saying? You'll get hurt too!"
Elfman shouted, "It doesn't matter! This is the only way we can defeat Takeshi!"
"Since you've made up your mind, then so be it!"
Evergreen was not one to dilly-dally. Since Elfman had made his resolution, she naturally wouldn't hesitate. If they missed this chance, it would be difficult for them to defeat Takeshi.
Evergreen quickly flew up, scattering a large amount of special dust particles in the sky.
Upon seeing this, Takeshi punched Elfman.
Bang!
Elfman took the full force of Takeshi's punch, then grabbed Takeshi's wrist and grinned at him. "Takeshi, you can't escape this time."
Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!
Evergreen immediately detonated all the scattered dust particles.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The countless dust particles exploded simultaneously, instantly triggering a terrifying blast that destroyed all the surrounding trees, rocks, and earth.
"Aaahhhhh!!!"
Elfman let out a painful scream.
After a good while, the explosion slowly subsided.
Evergreen rushed over, helped the heavily injured Elfman up, and said worriedly, "You idiot! Why were you so reckless? What if you had been killed?"
Elfman smiled. "I might be an idiot, but this was the only way I could think of to defeat Takeshi. And look, we won. We beat Takeshi."
Seeing Elfman's pure and hearty smile, Evergreen's heart rate involuntarily sped up. Looking at him like this, the guy was quite a man, after all.
Elfman and Evergreen looked toward Takeshi together.
Elfman said triumphantly, "Takeshi, we won."
Takeshi lay on the ground, covered in wounds, his index and middle fingers pressed together, pointing at Elfman and Evergreen. The two thought Takeshi was going to continue fighting, but instead, Takeshi pointed to the side.
The two looked to the side and saw another Takeshi standing there completely unharmed, looking exactly as Takeshi had when they first saw him.
Elfman and Evergreen's pupils contracted sharply, and they exclaimed simultaneously, "How is this possible?!"
