As Lucas spoke, he tapped his foot and unfurled three pairs of white wings from his back, flying directly in front of the colossal demon that had been summoned.
The giant demon slowly raised the sword in its hand.
"Careful! It's going to attack!!" Erza shouted a warning.
The giant demon swung its arm rapidly, slashing down at Lucas.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
"Kyaaaah!!"
The earth trembled. Many people screamed, stumbling and falling to the ground in disarray.
A massive shockwave erupted from the giant sword, extending for several kilometers. Even distant mountains were easily sliced in half, and a bottomless canyon appeared in the ground.
"Creek, creek!!"
"Whoaaa!"
"The ground... it split open!!!"
"This is terrifying!!"
The civilians protected by the barrier were stunned by the sight, their faces filled with horror.
At this moment, even Erza couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
"Ahahahaha!! Do you see that?! This is one of the Eighteen Battle Gods of Yakuma, the God of Battle Ikusa-Tsunagi! Everyone will die! I will sacrifice all your souls to the great Zeref! Ahahahaha!"
Seeing the power on display, the masked man shouted in excitement.
Bang!!
Unable to stand his arrogance, Erza smacked him in the face with the flat of her sword.
Erza shouted to Lucas, "Lucas! Run! That guy is a monster I can't deal with!!"
She had experienced Lucas's flight speed. If Lucas wanted to escape, the enemy couldn't stop him.
Lucas smiled. "I promised you I would definitely become an S-Class Mage. How can I go back on my word?"
"Besides, there are so many people here. If I leave them, they'll all die."
"Also, believe in me. Because..."
"I am the strongest!!!"
As Lucas spoke, his body began to grow rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a Lucas as tall as the giant demon appeared on the ground.
"Dragon God · Titan Form!!"
"Wha... What?!!!"
"So big————!!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. That young man could actually become as gigantic as the monster.
Erza was also shocked. She knew Lucas could use the Master's magic, but she hadn't expected him to become this huge. How much mana would maintaining such a colossal body consume?
"...No matter what you do, it's useless... Ikusa-Tsunagi is the God of Battle. No one is his match. This is just a dying struggle."
Ikusa-Tsunagi obviously noticed the guy as big as himself and slashed his sword toward Lucas.
"Dodge it!!!"
Erza shouted at Lucas.
But Lucas didn't move at all.
Clang—————!!
Ikusa-Tsunagi's greatsword struck Lucas's shoulder.
Boom—————!!
The entire earth shook.
"Arghhhhh!"
Everyone screamed.
Erza looked worriedly at Lucas's position.
Immediately after, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
The image of Lucas being split in half didn't happen.
The greatsword that had split mountains earlier was now resting on Lucas's shoulder.
Lucas stood there, a layer of crimson-black flame seeming to coat his body.
"Is this all you've got?"
Lucas grabbed Ikusa-Tsunagi's greatsword with his left hand. His right hand emitted a golden light, and soon, a greatsword made of gold appeared in it.
It was Verethragna's Tenth Avatar—The Warrior Wielding a Golden Sword.
Lucas swung the sword at Ikusa-Tsunagi.
Slash————!!
Ikusa-Tsunagi's body was split in two from head to toe by Lucas.
The powerful slash even cut the dark clouds in the sky in half, along with the mountains and the earth behind the demon.
Crack————!!
Everyone's jaws dropped, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
The demon god that had just appeared with earth-shattering power was slain by the young man in a single strike.
"The Battle God was..."
"Impossible... impossible..."
The masked man stared blankly at the scene.
Erza's expression returned to normal, and she smiled. "Nothing is impossible. This is Lucas!"
When Erza first saw Lucas in the Fairy Tail guild, she witnessed his heaven-defying talent to learn magic at a glance.
From that moment, she knew Lucas would definitely become a powerful mage in the future.
She just didn't expect the future to arrive so soon.
Lucas shrank back to his normal size.
Snap!
Lucas snapped his fingers, dispelling the barrier.
The enemies were all wiped out. The rescued people wept with excitement, running over to kowtow and thank Lucas.
Lucas looked at Erza. "How was that? I told you I could become an S-Class Mage."
Erza smiled. "Yes, you fulfilled our agreement splendidly."
Seeing Erza's smile, Lucas's heart beat a little faster. The expressions Erza occasionally showed really moved him.
Erza pointed at the masked man. "How do we handle this guy?"
"Kill him."
Lucas replied without hesitation. For a guy with no bottom line like this, keeping him alive was a waste of air.
Although he was educated in a society with laws, he had zero psychological burden killing guys from the Dark Magic Cult.
Knowing Erza hated the Dark Magic Cult to the bone, it would be most fitting for her to finish him off.
Erza frowned. "Forget it. He's the only survivor left. Let's hand him over to the client. I believe he will receive the punishment he deserves."
If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have spared him. But now, seeing his graying hair, it was obvious that using the summoning magic had cost him a significant amount of life force. Even if she didn't kill him, he surely didn't have many days left to live.
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
