Although Hades had been subdued by Kenichi, the war between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart wasn't completely over.
Because Gildarts and Bluenote were still fighting.
Erza on the magic airship, watching the battle between Gildarts and Bluenote below, curved the corner of her mouth into a crescent moon shape and said with a smile: "As expected of Gildarts. Mira and I together couldn't defeat that guy, but Gildarts clearly has the upper hand!"
As soon as Erza finished speaking, Gildarts below threw a punch towards Bluenote.
Bluenote's reaction wasn't slow either… he crossed his arms in front of him to block.
Boom-
The next second, Gildarts's fist landed on Bluenote's arms.
At that moment, a violent impact sound echoed through the air.
Although Bluenote blocked Gildarts's punch.
The violent force contained in Gildarts's punch sent Bluenote's entire body flying back.
"I... I'm being suppressed?!"
Bluenote, who only stabilized after skidding a long distance on the ground, lowered his arms and looked at Gildarts before him with disbelief.
But soon, the disbelief on his face turned into fighting spirit.
"Gildarts! Good! Excellent!"
"Let's see if you can really fly!"
"Next, I'll use my full power."
With that, Bluenote spread his arms and brought his palms together.
Kenichi, standing at the edge of the airship, saw Bluenote assume this stance and his mind stirred.
'He's finally going to use that move?'
Just as Kenichi was thinking this, a black sphere appeared in front of Bluenote's palms.
"Super Gravity Ball!"
As Bluenote continuously poured magical power into the black sphere, it visibly swelled in size.
As the black sphere grew, the gravitational force it contained also became increasingly immense.
Soon, a large amount of rock debris from the surrounding ground converged towards the black sphere.
And the air was also sucked in like a vortex.
When the sphere grew to a certain size, even Gildarts was affected.
Gildarts's feet were firmly planted on the rock debris, but the terrifying gravitational force was forcibly pulling his body towards it.
"This is an infinite gravity field that attracts all things! Nothing can escape!"
"Fly! Fly!"
Bluenote seemed to envision Gildarts being sent flying by him; he laughed maniacally with excitement.
However, just as Bluenote launched the sphere towards Gildarts, Gildarts made a grasping motion towards the Super Gravity Ball in the air.
"Crush Magic!"
Crack crack-
Under Bluenote's astonished gaze, the Super Gravity Ball directly shattered.
'My magic... shattered?'
No matter what, this Super Gravity Ball was Bluenote's strongest magic.
Among his previous opponents, except for Hades, no one had escaped this move.
But now, Gildarts had directly shattered the Super Gravity Ball he created.
Keep in mind, the Super Gravity Ball was magic, not a physical object.
If Gildarts had broken free or dodged his move, he could have understood.
But Gildarts shattered his magic… this was beyond his comprehension.
Before Bluenote could recover from his shock, Gildarts's already clenched fist shot towards Bluenote with astonishing force.
"Since you want to fly so much, I'll let you fly!"
"Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth!"
Boom-
At that moment, a terrifyingly loud roar resounded between heaven and earth.
The space around Gildarts itself trembled.
Bluenote, struck by Gildarts, vomited blood violently, and his body shot straight into the sky like a tornado.
While Gildarts and Bluenote were fighting fiercely, a series of system prompts also sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +21]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Super Gravity Ball Magic attribute.]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Combat Power attribute +16.5]
'16.5 Combat Power attribute points from one strike?'
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi raised an eyebrow.
After all, in battles involving Natsu and Gray, the system usually dropped Combat Power attributes in the zero-point-something range.
Even when Erza in her Giant Armor clashed with Laxus's Lightning Dragon's Fierce Punch, the system only dropped 3.2 Combat Power attribute.
But now, Gildarts's single strike dropped 16.5 Combat Power attribute points.
Moreover, this was the first time the system dropped a double-digit Combat Power attribute.
Before Kenichi could even feel happy, the system prompted again.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth attribute!]
'Eh?'
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi was first stunned, then overjoyed.
Since Super Gravity Ball was a continuous magic, the drop rate was 100%.
So Kenichi wasn't surprised that the system dropped the Super Gravity Ball Magic attribute.
But the system dropping Gildarts's Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth attribute was extremely unexpected for Kenichi.
Because Gildarts only used Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth once, and the system dropped the attribute in one go.
This was truly getting it in one shot.
[Host, would you like to collect the Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth attribute?]
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately answered: 'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth attribute on the battlefield over there, along with the other attributes, all converged towards Kenichi.
After all those attributes merged into Kenichi's body, the various attributes on the virtual screen in front of Kenichi all jumped.
Finally, the [Super Gravity Ball] and [Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth] attributes were added to the Magic attribute column.
Kenichi's current magical power was even greater than Gildarts's. If Kenichi used this [Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth], its power would likely be even more immense.
Looking at the Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth attribute on the system screen, Kenichi clenched his fist, and a fiery light shone in his eyes.
"The war is finally over!"
Seeing Bluenote's body hit the ground, Erza, Mirajane, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Kenichi didn't relax.
He knew that an even greater shadow was looming over this place.
That shadow was Acnologia.
