The Mages start attacking Alex who has already knocked out the Quatro Puppy team. They couldn't see his movement, which made them sure they needed to give their all against Alex.
Still, they are from different Guilds, so of course, they don't have a good team work. They mostly just throw whatever attacks they can use without thinking of what the others will do.
When some attack directly, the others from other teams would just shoot big powerful spells at Alex without any care if they hit those from other teams who attack closely.
Just like now when Kagura attacks Alex with her sword. She moves very fast and swings her still-sheathed sword at Alex who to her surprise can catch her sword with barehand.
But then, someone uses the chance when Alex is occupied with Kagura. Minerva shoots a powerful space ball that will explode upon contact. It will engulf both Alex and Kagura, which is not a problem for her because then she can take out 2 opponents at once.
Unfortunately, her fast space ball is easily flicked to the sky by Alex using a tail. Its explosion is big, but Alex knows it's something he can handle. It might not be the case for Kagura though, that's why he flicked it away.
Alex slams his other hand at Kagura's sword which then hits her body, sending her to fly back to her teammates.
Then he charges toward Sabertooth, punching the unknown reserve member who stands in front of Minerva away with the back of his right hand, knocking him out instantly.
Alex then sends his left claws to hit Minerva from the front. She tried blocking it with a round space shield, but it breaks almost instantly under Alex's powerful attack.
Fortunately for her, that very short moment gives Rufus the time to pull her away and teleports to a location they previously stood using his Memory Make Magic.
Rufus has even prepared a trap because he has predicted that Alex would attack Minerva after she attacked him.
The magic trap on the ground creates some light magic ropes that bind Alex from head to toes. He can break out of these ropes quickly, but before he can do it, he gets attacked.
Orga has already discharged a massive amount of Black Lightning at Alex. He uses every last bit of his magic power in just this 1 attack. That's why the impact is very powerful.
A massive explosion covers the area, destroying even more buildings. The other Mages retreat quickly and so are Sabertooth Mages who stood very close to Alex just now.
Rufus teleported them to a place they stood previously using his Memory Make Magic, just like what he did to Minerva.
Orga smirks, but then he clicks his tongue when the other teams start using more powerful spells again.
They all know this isn't enough to defeat Alex. He could come out unscathed from something stronger than this before, after all, so he surely will survive this.
They are correct because a while after their attacks are sent, they explode quite away from Alex's supposed position.
The explosions push away the dust and smoke, revealing the result. Alex is still standing there unscathed and he even managed to destroy the next attacks with just a swipe of his tails.
Everyone wants to attack Alex again, but he suddenly disappears. They only realize where he goes when they hear a loud impact sound. Alex has already slammed Orga to the ground by head, knocking the man out instantly.
He grins as he jumps away to dodge some sharp stone spikes shooting out of the ground. Jura even chases him by trying to make more stone spikes on where he would land, but he uses his tails to push himself away from those spots.
"The only way we can defeat him now is by putting away our ego and working together. He will easily take us out one by one if we keep attacking alone and even try to take out each other. Let's put aside our rivalry now to defeat him. It won't be too late to settle the score after we defeat him."
Jura actually wants to fight Alex alone. But even he knows right now he is no match for Alex. The others also feel the same.
Reluctantly, they agree to work together because they will never defeat Alex otherwise.
Obviously, they can't immediately have a great teamwork. But at least now they won't attack each other before making sure they can defeat Alex.
They combine close-ranged and long-ranged attacks to increase their chances of hitting him with their attacks.
Those with better close-ranged skills like Kagura, Sawyer, Macbeth, Tobi, Yuka, Millianna, Minerva, Rogue, Sting, etc, are focused on attacking him directly.
Those with better long-ranged skills attack from behind while making sure they don't hit the closed-rangers.
As for those who are good at either ranges like Ultear and Jura are moving back and forth to use either close or long range attacks depending on the situation.
There are even those who provide support like Sherria and Angel who can buff them, or Cobra who listens to Alex's thoughts and reveals them to everyone while also attacking using his spells.
Now, it finally becomes more interesting for Alex because they finally show better fights. He faces all of their attacks head-on without trying to dodge. He only blocks and crushes their attacks with his strength.
His body is heavy because Kagura, Risley, and Libra who is summoned by Yukino are using Gravity Magic to push him down.
Yet, he can still move very fast, fast enough to stop every attack that comes toward him no matter how fast they are.
It makes the casters of the Gravity Magic feel that their magic doesn't work, but it does. Alex is just too strong and fast to be pressured and slowed down by this level of Gravity.
Though he feels quite fortunate that Sawyer's Slow Magic can't be used here. That Magic is an AOE type, so if he uses it, he will slow down everyone's perception of time and only he can move normally under its effect.
Though even if it only affects Alex, he still has the confidence he can take everyone's attacks for a while in his current form. Also, if it can affect just him, then he will just take out Sawyer very quickly.
But because it can't affect him alone, Alex decides to let Sawyer join the 1 vs all battle and only focus on facing their attacks.
Alex focuses on being defensive now and only attacks when there are clear chances. He blocks all of their attacks with his hands, legs, and tails even if they come from behind.
They have tried attacking him from his blind spots, but he can always react to them as if he has eyes everywhere.
He can block Kagura's sword from the left, Jura's enhanced and heavy punch from the right, Minerva space punch from above, Ultear's black water drill from the front, Sting's and Rogue's combined piercing shot from behind, and even the spells slipped between them by Macbeth, Rufus, and Millianna all at once.
Not only stopping them, he can even throw them back by spinning his body as he grabs them with his hands and tails, sending them flying everywhere.
But they've expected something like this, so the other Mages move forward to attack him again. They just keep doing this cycle with different combinations to land even a hit on Alex.
Yet, none of their attacks actually hit him when he finally gets serious. All of them are blocked and his power is strong enough to break all of their attacks without him getting pushed back.
Everyone who watches this can't even utter a word. Their jaws drop and their eyes are glued to the scenes shown on the screens. 1 person is fighting that many powerful Mages and actually dominating the fight.
Even Fairy Tail Mages are dumbfounded by what they see. They know Alex is strong, but he proves once again that he is still stronger than they thought.
If even his close friends are surprised, then obviously others are even more surprised. All the Guilds that see it can only admit Alex's strength. Even Jiemma acknowledges it in his heart despite looking very pissed outside.
1 man army, that's what so many people think now when they see this scene. They now fully understand that he could drive off Acnologia in the past not just because of his luck, but because of his power.
Then as if to prove that, Alex finally starts defeating his opponents one by one very quickly. He flashes around at an incredible speed that they can't follow.
His punches, kicks, and tail swats are so fast and strong that the Mages can't stop them. Even Macbeth's automatic reflector skill can't reflect a single punch from Alex because it's too strong for the spell to reflect.
Only Ultear and Jura can respond to his attacks and not get taken out by a single attack from him. But he simply just needs to use a few more attacks to take them out.
Within just a few seconds, everyone other than Alex is lying on the floor. He alone stands among them, taking the victory with his hands.
