Originally, before he left, his old mother, 'Moon God Dragon' Selene, had repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble after coming to the Ishgar continent. He had thought it would be very dangerous here?! But it was only this level? It was truly disappointing.
Now it seemed that apart from the invincible 'Black Dragon King' Akunorologia, everyone else on the Ishgar continent was not worth fearing.
"Are you that Regent from the enemy nation?"
As Kurnugi scrutinized Bacchus, Bacchus was also scrutinizing the enemy Regent before him, who had struck fear into the entire Fiore Kingdom…
Honestly, Bacchus was somewhat curious in his heart: how strong was this guy who, by himself, forced all the masters of a nation to flee upon hearing his name?!
He wondered if he was stronger than those monsters from the Fairy Tail Guild?
Well, the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild had been 'expelled' from the Fiore Kingdom's magic world by Bacchus and others because their strength was too great…
The people from that Mage Guild were abnormally strong.
To this, Medivh replied: "Ahem, don't panic! It's not that you're weak, it's just that our Fairy Tail Guild's version is a bit different from yours, just a few steps ahead, that's all."
Yes, who made Medivh's arrival bring the Fairy Tail Guild's version to the late-game level ahead of time?!
Back to the arena.
"Yes…"
"Challenger, state your name!"
Kurnugi looked at the person before him and nodded lightly.
"Bacchus, the sole S-Class Mage of the Mage Guild Quatro Cerberus within the Fiore Kingdom, has come to challenge you…"
As Bacchus spoke, his body had already transformed into a flash of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Kurnugi…
Magic power coiled around his wrist as he swung directly at Kurnugi's cheek: "Drunken Fist Secret Art: Arrogant Eagle!!"
Honestly, Bacchus was full of confidence in this punch of his.
This strike, let alone a human face, could even split rocks and mountains…
What if it hit a person?!
It could definitely shatter the entire body of the person struck by this punch into pieces! Turning them into a pulp and fine powder.
At this moment, Bacchus was only thinking of one thing…
It wasn't whether his punch would be effective against the enemy, but whether his strike could successfully hit Kurnugi!
"Boom!"
"Great, it hit!"
The moment Bacchus felt the sensation from his fist, he immediately became excited. He knew that his punch had successfully hit the enemy, and he had already won half of this battle. Even if the enemy didn't die, they would definitely be crippled by his punch.
"Boom!!"
However, after a roar…
Bacchus was astonishingly found that Kurnugi, who had been struck on the cheek by his powerful blow, remained steadily seated on his throne, staring motionlessly ahead.
"Crack, crack, crack…"
In contrast, Bacchus's expensive gauntlet and shoulder armor, which had hit Kurnugi's cheek, were all covered in dense cracks due to the immense recoil of that punch, and with a series of 'cracking' sounds, they turned into countless fragments, falling to the ground.
"This…"
Upon seeing this, countless beads of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on Bacchus's forehead. He could feel that his swollen fist was definitely not fake; his bones had completely fractured from that strike.
"Is there a mosquito on my face?!"
Just as Bacchus was at a loss…
Once again, Kurnugi, who had been so bored he deeply yawned, shifted his gaze and finally looked at Bacchus, who was still in the motion of punching, with his peripheral vision, and asked in a cold, playful tone.
"Boom!"
In just an instant, Bacchus immediately felt immense pressure. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.
"You're truly a little mosquito that likes to fly around~"
"This is an arena for the strong, not a place for mosquitoes like you…"
"Get lost!"
Before Bacchus could say more, Kurnugi coldly chuckled, extended a finger towards Bacchus at his side, and softly said: "Sword Saint Dragon's Finger!"
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar!
Bacchus was directly blasted away by Kurnugi's attack.
"Uh…"
In the sky, Bacchus spat out a streak of crimson, his armor shattered into countless fragments, and he fell heavily to the ground like a broken doll, his eyes rolling back as he lost consciousness.
"The ace of Quatro Cerberus was defeated in an instant?!"
"It seems this Regent's strength is not exaggerated! In fact, perhaps this Regent's strength is even greater than rumored?!"
Jellal looked at Bacchus, who was defeated as soon as he got on the arena, with cold sweat covering his forehead.
If it was just simply defeating Bacchus, let alone the Regent on the high platform, even Jellal could easily do it…
But to defeat Bacchus with just one strike, and at the same time shatter the expensive defensive magic armor Bacchus wore, that was something the current Jellal couldn't do.
