"Stop looking down on me!"

Azuma's words naturally infuriated Gray, who roared, feeling extremely frustrated by the fight.
In terms of raw strength, Gray is no less powerful than Azuma, the warmonger among the "Seven Kin of Purgatory." Otherwise, Gray wouldn't have been able to withstand Azuma's relentless bombardment.
To Gray's dismay, Azuma's fighting style was just too flexible.
Gray initially thought Azuma was the kind of mage who was all about wood magic, and a burly, tough guy.
But what was the result? Azuma's main strength was his agility and kite-like ability; he could move back and forth among the trees, making him impossible to spot, while his bombs were everywhere.
Gray is skilled in "Ice Shape Magic" and is good at positional warfare, but he is not particularly adept at agility, so he naturally plays rather passively.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Gray created several "ice cannons" and carried a cannon barrel on his shoulder. He kept firing ice cannons at the surrounding area to block Azuma's bombs, and for a while, it was quite a lively scene with "bang bang".
But prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Gray was constantly on the defensive, so he couldn't defend against all attacks and was bound to take some hits.
"This is outrageous!"
Gray was in a terrible state, while Natsu's fight with Zankro was much more decisive and satisfying, ending much more pleasantly than Gray's torment here.
It's not that Azuma is cunning; it's just his fighting style, and there's nothing to criticize. If you can't handle it, you can't. If you're bad, you just need to practice more. Gray agrees with that.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being uncivilized!"
Gray was truly out of options. He looked directly at Moen. Natsu hadn't used this move, and he hadn't wanted to use it either, but if he didn't, he might really lose.
Noticing Gray's gaze, Moen nodded and agreed to Gray's request; he knew perfectly well what Gray wanted to do.
"Cygnus!"
Seeing Moen nod, Gray immediately began summoning his "Saint Cloth". If he couldn't win with his "Battle Suit", he would summon his "Saint Cloth" to help him!
This was originally an ability he learned from Moen, so he could naturally use it in battle. He also had even stronger moves he hadn't used yet, such as summoning the legendary twelve artifacts!
"Buzz!"
As Gray called out, a dazzling golden light flashed, turning the entire sky gold, as if something was about to descend.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the golden light. Under everyone's gaze, a long sword that shimmered with golden light descended from the sky and landed in Gray's hand.
"what?"
Upon seeing the golden longsword, Gray was momentarily stunned. This wasn't what he expected. He had specifically summoned the Cygnus Cloth, so why had he received a divine weapon instead?!
"Such a grand display, and all they summoned was a single sword?"
Seeing the golden longsword in Gray's hand, Azuma was somewhat disappointed. He had thought this guy named Gray would come up with something new—a golden longsword? What use could it be? Was he going to use this sword to kill him with a flash?
Moen's Libra Gold Cloth has not yet demonstrated the power of these weapons, so it's not surprising that Azuma would have this idea.
Who could have imagined that the longsword in Gray's hand, when wielded by a Gold Saint, would possess such devastating power? Even his Fairy Tail comrades wouldn't dare to think that way.
However, they were still full of expectations for the weapon that Gray had summoned so solemnly, a weapon that was clearly related to Moen. They were all looking forward to the power of this weapon.
As for Natsu, Lucy, Emerald, and the others, they were all staring at Gray with their mouths agape in shock.
Moen had only mentioned this artifact briefly, explaining that it was for saving lives in critical moments and could directly kill enemies. He advised against summoning or using it lightly, as it could be very difficult and consume a lot of resources.
None of them expected that Moen would give the golden weapon to Gray at this moment, which meant that Gray would kill his opponent instantly!
"This isn't fair!"
Natsu immediately yelled, feeling extremely angry because he hadn't even used it yet, and Gray had done something so impressive!
However, Natsu's protests went unheeded. Moen ignored him, and neither Lucy nor Emerald echoed him. The two girls looked at Gray expectantly, waiting for him to unleash the power of that "divine weapon."
"Really..."
'
Natsu, with a sour face, also looked at Gray. Although Gray's overshadowing made him very unhappy, he was actually looking forward to seeing the power of this "divine weapon".
Mo Enguang said that this could save lives in critical moments and directly kill opponents, but they had never actually had the chance to see its power. It would be a good opportunity for Gray to give them a try.
"Buzzing!!!"
Gray didn't hesitate. Since Moen had given him this "magic weapon," he didn't need to worry about whether or not to use it.
Let's just get straight to the point! Let these dark mages see the true power of these "new-style celestial spirit mages"!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Gray held the golden longsword in his hand, his magic power being frantically drained. The "Cygnus" constellation in the sky was also constantly supplying him with magic power, allowing him to unleash the power of this golden weapon to a limited extent. Even if he could only unleash a tiny bit of it, it would be terrifying enough for others.
These golden weapons, the weapons that come with the Libra Gold Cloth, are so powerful that their use is strictly prohibited. Even the "Ice Spirit Pivot," which several Gold Saints combined could not destroy, was easily shattered in front of these golden weapons. Their power is self-evident.
"This magic..."
'
Although Azuma was not clear about the weapon's power, judging from the magic power Gray was gathering, he knew that this thing was not as simple as he thought.
"The roar of the earth!"
Without any hesitation, Azuma immediately used his strongest magic.
Magic surged, and countless trees wildly extended their branches, sweeping towards Gray. At the same time, he began to awaken the magic dormant within the earth. He wanted to completely unleash the magic within the earth to create a super explosion fruit, blasting everything in sight directly into the sky.
"Prepare to die!"
Gray roared, holding his golden sword high. He had never felt anything like this before. At this moment, he felt as if he truly possessed the power to destroy everything, not like "Absolute Freeze," but as if he could really cut the entire world in two. This feeling even made him tremble.
Looking at the raging, ocean-like tide of trees, Gray remained completely calm, simply swinging his longsword.
"boom!!!"
Terrifying magic was released from the golden longsword. The light wave was slashed out in an instant, swallowing everything in front of it in the blink of an eye. The raging trees and Azuma were all swallowed by the light, and it seemed that only that light remained in the world.
"Buzz!!!"
A flash of light appeared and then quickly lost its momentum. Gray collapsed to the ground, and the golden longsword in his hand turned into specks of light and disappeared, returning to Moen's treasury.
As the light faded, everyone finally came to their senses. They stared blankly at everything before them, feeling as if it were all an illusion.
The area that was swallowed by that beam of light has now been completely reduced to nothingness. Nothing remains—the wildly growing trees, the bomb-fruits that Azuma threw, and Azuma himself—all vanished with the light.
Literally, it means vanished, gone, everything is gone.
"That guy Azuma... he's really dead?"
The members of the "Seven Kin of Purgatory" found it hard to believe and unacceptable. Among them, Azuma was definitely a strong contender for the title of "Head of the Seven Kin of Purgatory" and could truly compete with Ultear for it!
So, he just died like that? His death was completely mysterious...
"What...what exactly is that?!"
The goat looked terrified and couldn't help but ask.
The "goat" was genuinely terrified; this was beyond his wildest imagination. Even their guild leader, Hades, probably couldn't have killed Azuma so easily!
That Gray is indeed strong, they all admit that. After all, it's already quite an achievement to fight Azuma to a standstill. But with his strength, what makes him capable of instantly killing Azuma?!
It was all because of that dazzling "golden longsword," the "golden longsword" that Gray summoned. At first, they all thought, like Azuma, that the "golden longsword" wouldn't cause any trouble; at most, it was just a magical artifact.
In the world of "Aislandon", magical items are indeed hard to be too wary of, after all, the development of combat magical items in this world is quite average, and there are no particularly famous items.
It would have been perfectly normal for them to look down on the "Golden Longsword" at first, but now, Gray has proven to them that it really is a magical artifact capable of easily taking their lives.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying surge of magic swept through, and two figures arrived beside the "Seven Kin of Purgatory," which should now be called the "Five Kin of Purgatory," no, the "Four Kin of Purgatory." Luciros had also fallen silent, and it was clear that he was barely breathing.
"What was that just now?"
Hades, wearing a helmet, spoke with a serious expression.
The question in those words was naturally about the attack Gray had just unleashed.
"It is... a golden longsword that has been summoned."
Urutia lowered her head and answered the question in a low voice.
"The golden longsword...summoned..."
'
Hades repeated it, but he was completely confused. Even with his knowledge, he couldn't understand it at all. In all his years of life, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Where is Zankeluo? Where is Azuma?"
Hades continued to ask, then looked at Luciros lying to the side, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Zancro... was defeated by the fire dragon, Azuma disappeared in that light, and Lucilos is now like this..."
Ultear spoke slowly and softly, making Hades' breathing heavier and heavier. He took a deep breath and looked at the Fairy Tail members not far away.
"Makarov, Fairy Tail, the team you lead, is truly not to be underestimated. You've given me a huge surprise."
Looking at the short man with his hands behind his back, Hades couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "You...you are?!"
However, Makarov, on the other hand, was far from being as calm as Hades. After seeing Hades' appearance clearly, Makarov was completely flustered and began to tremble.
"Grandpa, who is this guy?"
Moen crouched down and patted the old man on the shoulder. He was also staring intently at Hades, his eyes filled with hostility.
"He...he is Precht...there's no mistake..."
'
Looking at the man opposite him, the man he could never mistake, Makarov's expression was complicated, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Makarov heard it all. He heard those people call Precht "Chairman" and him "Hades." His identity was already obvious. He was the chairman of "Heart of the Devil"!
"Precht?!"
The name surprised Moen as well, and everyone in the guild who knew the name had the same expression.
"How could this be?!"
Gildarts was also shocked; of course he knew who Precht was.
However, Kyldas was not as familiar with Precht as Makarov was, so he did not recognize him immediately.
But now, after Chairman Makarov pointed it out, he immediately realized it too.
That man, isn't he the second-generation guild master of Fairy Tail?! That legendary mage...
One of the four founders!
"Wait a minute?! Then why is he now the president of Devil's Heart?!"
After learning who "Precht" really was, the other members of Fairy Tail were also dumbfounded, because "Precht's" original identity was so different from his current one.
From one of the four founders of "Fairy Tail" and the second guild master, to the current leader of the "Baram Alliance's Three Giants" and the guild master of the strongest dark magic guild "Devil's Heart," this is like heaven and hell for the people of "Fairy Tail," completely incompatible identities.
"What a pity, Makarov, you still haven't grasped the true essence of magic, and instead, you've led Fairy Tail astray."
Looking at Makarov and the shocked Fairy Tail crew, Hades shook his head, looking regretful. He used to have high hopes for Makarov, but the current Makarov was undoubtedly a disappointment to him.
What are you talking about...?
Makarov couldn't understand Precht's words at all; the old Precht wasn't like this now.
