Fairy Tail Destiny-Chapter 204: Ch : Crushing

Lance stood there, ignoring the Fairy Tail members in the distance.

Instead, he stared blankly at his own arm.

There, a shallow wound was slowly oozing crimson blood.

About seven centimeters long and only three millimeters deep—it was the kind of wound even a child might accidentally get while playing.

But for Lance, who had never been injured before, it was a completely new experience.

"This is... my blood." Lance gently wiped the wound with his other hand, staring at the sticky red liquid on his fingertips.

A trace of confusion flickered in his eyes.

"I actually got hurt? I can actually be wounded?... My blood is red, huh? This is the first time I've seen it. So, I really am human, after all... Heh."

Lance's deep purple pupils darkened further.

He shifted his gaze toward Natsu and Laxus, his voice soft but carrying an undeniable weight.

"Tell me your names. You are worthy of being remembered by me."

"Laxus Dreyar," Laxus said coldly, panting slightly.

"Natsu Dragneel! Remember it well—because I'm the one who's going to take you down!" Natsu's body had already been drained of all his magic power, but his sharp, defiant gaze remained locked onto Lance.

"Laxus and Natsu, huh? I've remembered your names."

Lance lowered his head slightly, his white bangs falling forward to obscure his expression.

His voice carried an indescribable depth.

"Then, as a reward for wounding me... let me show you my power. My true power—without any restraints."

As his words fell, an unbelievable surge of magic radiated outward from Lance, shaking the entire Tenrou Island.

This was a spellcasting range that exceeded the limits of what an ordinary wizard could even fathom.

The entire island—and even a vast expanse of ocean beyond it—became engulfed in Lance's magic.

A colossal magic circle began to take shape.

Then, gravity—on a level completely beyond what Bluenote had demonstrated—descended upon the Fairy Tail members.

This overwhelming force instantly stripped them of any ability to resist, pressing them completely to the ground.

No, it wasn't just them.

The entirety of Tenrou Island felt the crushing weight of this sudden surge in gravity.

The entire landmass was sinking, and even the surface of the surrounding ocean was beginning to collapse downward.

...............

"Oi, this power... Our so-called First Throne is actually going all out?"

Stella barely managed to steady herself, pouring out magic continuously to resist the overwhelming gravity.

Though she was incredibly powerful, this type of attack was far from her specialty, leaving her expression full of frustration.

"You've got to be kidding me. If that guy really uses his full power, forget about this island—everything here will be completely annihilated. Even we might not survive!"

Standing to the side, unaffected by Lance's gravity thanks to his spatial magic, Garlos let out a bitter laugh and rubbed his forehead.

He muttered in a low voice, "This is one hell of a nasty surprise... But honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen him this excited. Hopefully, he doesn't forget to control himself... Seriously, unpredictable factors like this are such a pain."

From atop a rock, Tsukiyo slowly rose to her feet, her blue eyes gazing toward Lance's position.

Black magic surged around her, and among everyone present on Tenrou Island, she was the only one on Lance's level, making it the easiest for her to withstand his gravity.

In a quiet voice, she said, "Don't worry. If things really get out of hand, I'll do my best to stop him."

................

Somewhere on Tenrou Island

"...Should I say, as expected of the First Throne?" Dylan supported himself with both hands on his knees, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

"Just resisting this power alone is already draining all my energy. Damn it... I knew the gap was huge, but feeling it this directly really makes it hit differently."

Beside him, Reign clenched his teeth, lowering his head as he murmured in a voice only he could hear, "Damn it... I'm still too weak... Nowhere near enough. Like this, I'm not even qualified to be a tool that can truly aid Master..."

................

"Damn it... Damn it!!" Natsu pounded the ground with his fists, desperately trying to stand up.

But his trembling limbs, crying out in agony, and his utterly drained body could no longer offer him even the slightest support.

Even for him, after fighting until now, there wasn't a single ounce of strength left.

All he could do was struggle in vain, his face full of pain and unwillingness.

A single tear slipped from Gray's eye as he stared at Lanse in the distance, his gaze filled with deep regret.

"Damn it... I swear, I will never lose again. This feeling... I will never experience it a second time!!"

.................

Lance paid no heed to anyone's thoughts.

He simply stood there, but at this moment, he resembled an apocalyptic demon king, bringing despair to all.

Slowly, he raised his arm.

A mysterious and unfathomable light flickered in his purple pupils as he spread his five fingers open.

In the next instant, a terrifying shockwave swept through the members of Fairy Tail, even reaching the camp they had desperately tried to protect.

This was the power of destruction—shattering all hope, crushing all resistance.

When darkness descended, no light could offer salvation.

This was Lance's power—the one who sat upon the First Throne of the Demon God's Soul, standing at the very peak of human strength.

The fairies had their wings broken.

Amidst the ashes, the members of Fairy Tail had all fallen unconscious.

Their camp was leveled by Lance's overwhelming might.

Every single one of them lay on the ground, unable to hinder Lance any longer.

"It's over." Lance slowly withdrew his magic, gazing at the fallen warriors.

He hesitated for a moment before finally turning away, choosing not to deliver the fatal blow.

"So, I've come to understand a little... The essence of human will. But this alone is far from enough. Show me, the strength of humanity. If you can survive this darkness without perishing and rise again like a phoenix to stand before me once more...

Perhaps then, I will finally understand what it means to be human."

A faint smile appeared on Lance's lips.

Subtle, yet carrying an indescribable meaning.

...............

"It's over. With this, our mission is completely finished. Now, all that's left is to wait for Master..."

Tsukiyo closed her eyes, sensing the entire island.

After confirming that no magical energy remained active other than that of the Demon God's Soul members, she slowly opened them again.

Her gaze lifted toward the sky, where faint traces of black and white light could be seen shining through the gaps in the dark clouds.

"As long as everything proceeds smoothly, that's all that matters."

Garlos nodded, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

"No, rather, it would be strange if things didn't go smoothly. Right now, Your Majesty Nord is still far from being a match for Master.

Not just in terms of power—the real gap lies in their resolve."
