Jellal was, after all, a discerning person; he knew that the armor Bacchus wore was a high-grade item that could even withstand some super magic.
"It seems I need to change my tactics."
Jellal's brows furrowed slightly as he thought.
"Yo! I didn't expect there to be another little mosquito here…"
"What, aren't you planning to get on the arena?"
Just as Jellal was deep in thought, Kurnugi's voice suddenly came from the arena.
"Oh no, he found me."
Jellal's face changed abruptly upon hearing this. He wasn't ready to fight Kurnugi yet, and the moment he heard Kurnugi's voice, he prepared to flee.
"Since you're not coming up, I'll come down to find you then."
Just as Jellal was about to make a move, the voice that had originally come from the arena approached him at an incredibly strange speed, growing louder and louder. By the time the last word fell, the owner of the voice had already arrived behind him.
"Damn it."
"Meteor!!"
After sensing the immense aura behind him, countless beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on Jellal's forehead. His body erupted with astonishing magic power, enveloped in a golden light, like a laser beam, and he flew towards the sky.
"Yo! This time it's a little mosquito that glows~"
Kurnugi looked at Jellal, who didn't even have the courage to fight him and turned to run after seeing him. His brows furrowed into a knot, and he muttered to himself: "I hate blue-haired punks the most."
After Kurnugi finished speaking, a dark light suddenly lit up in his hand. He used his arm as a blade and slashed towards the sky, and a giant crescent moon soared into the sky, rushing straight towards Jellal!
Kurnugi saw this and said coldly: "Blue-haired punk, don't think you can escape from my grasp! Any prey I target, no matter where it runs, I will catch it! Let me show you an attack that can even cut space!"
"Boom!!"
In the sky…
Jellal suddenly unleashed unprecedented magic power. His powerful magic power had undoubtedly crossed the threshold of a Ten Wizard Saints…
But even so, he still had no confidence in fighting Kurnugi, so Jellal directly chose 'the thirty-six stratagems, retreat is the best policy'.
However, after Jellal flew in the sky for a full ten minutes, he astonishingly found that not only had he not escaped this area, but he was constantly being pulled towards Kurnugi on the ground by an inexplicable force.
Yes, the faster he ran, the closer he got to Kurnugi.
"Are you unable to comprehend the current situation?!"
"So why is this happening? You're clearly putting all your effort into escaping, yet you still can't leave this place?!"
Kurnugi, seeing this from the ground, a slight smile played on his lips. He softly explained, "Because the answer is simple: my slash just now was enough to destroy the space between you and me!"
"You did fly into the sky, but as long as I destroy all the space you flew through, it's equivalent to you staying put."
Kurnugi explained truthfully.
"What?!"
"That's too absurd, isn't it?!"
Jellal's eyes widened at the words. He had never seen such an outrageous Magic.
Of course, if Medivh were here at this moment, he would definitely complain loudly, "Oh my god, bombing space!"
"If I can't escape, then I won't!"
Jellal already knew he couldn't escape, so he simply stopped trying…
As Jellal prepared to compete with Kurnugi, he finally displayed his astonishing combat talent. Before Kurnugi could even react, Jellal had already drawn seven Magic circles in the sky.
"This is…"
Kurnugi frowned slightly at the sight.
"Receive the judgment of the seven stars! Seven Star Sword!"
As Jellal spoke, the seven glittering Magic circles in the sky immediately erupted with a howling magical power. Countless laser rains descended from the sky, falling towards Kurnugi.
"Boom!!"
Every single laser sword rain was enough to leave a huge crater on the ground.
"Hahaha…"
In response, Kurnugi bathed in the sword rain, laughing loudly.
Yes, Jellal's Magic not only failed to penetrate Kurnugi's physical defense but instead excited Kurnugi.
"Damn it! Seven Star Sword Rain is also ineffective?!"
"In that case, I can only use that move, True Heavenly Body Magic…"
Jellal looked at Kurnugi, who ignored the light rain, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He descended from the sky onto the wide arena, adopting the stance for True Heavenly Body Magic.
"Rumble!!"
In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky…
It seemed something massive was about to be summoned by Jellal.
"Interesting."
Kurnugi sneered at this, showing no intention of stopping him, but instead waited for Jellal to make his move.
"…Star Collapse!!"
At the same time, Jellal spoke the name of his move.
"Whoosh!!"
In an instant, amidst the rumbling sounds, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to truly crack open! Suddenly, they were violently crushed by a huge force, and a burning meteor descended from the sky, heading straight for Kurnugi.
"How about this move?!"
On the arena, Jellal wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had staked everything on this one True Heavenly Body Magic: Star Collapse…
This was the strongest Magic he could currently use. This single meteor alone had consumed most of the magical power within his body.
"Suck!"
On the ground, Kurnugi watched the sky grow brighter and hotter. He opened his gaping maw and took a deep breath, and infinite magical power was immediately sucked into his abdomen!
"Buzz!"
At the same time, a Magic circle emblazoned with a dragon's head formed in front of Kurnugi.
"Sword Saint Dragon's Roar!!"
