"You've arrived."
Seeing Moen step forward, Laxus spoke up.
Looking at Moen, Laxus felt all the previous frustration in his heart vanish, and his expression became excited. He had finally dealt with those guys and was finally waiting for Moen to take the stage!
"I am coming."
Upon hearing Laxus's words, Moen almost reflexively replied, then looked at Laxus with a strange expression.
"Good! Let's begin!"
Fortunately, Laxus, who had an excited expression, didn't say "You shouldn't have come." Come to think of it, Laxus was eager for Moen to come, so naturally he wouldn't say anything like "You shouldn't have come."
"Let's go then!"
Moen silently breathed a sigh of relief, and then his fighting spirit began to rise.
Laxus is a good opponent. Unlike Gildarts or Grandpa Makarov, who are unfathomable, or the other kids, who are significantly weaker than him, he is a good opponent to test one's strength.
"Zzzzz!!!"
Laxus unleashed his magic, lightning surged, and the crackling sound of thunder and lightning was ear-piercing. Golden magic surged into the sky as if to cover the heavens.
Electric currents flowed and coiled around Laxus. He stood there like Thor descending to earth, his eyes filled with electricity, so intense that looking directly at him would hurt your eyes.
"Laxus, you've gotten much stronger again."
Looking at the scene before him, Moen narrowed his eyes. Compared to when he fought John Paula, Laxus was now much stronger. This display truly resembled that of an S-class mage. Most people would kneel down and call him a god upon seeing this.
At this moment, the reactions of the guild members who were watching from the sidelines said it all; they had no choice but to retreat further.
The battle hadn't even begun, but the aftershocks of Laxus's unrestrained release of magic were already almost overwhelming for them.
Did Laxus contribute when he fought us?
Gray stared wide-eyed, feeling utterly bewildered.
"Can what we did be considered a battle?"
Elfman had the same expression as Gray, and he made a sharp comment in a daze, but no one could refute it.
Compared to now, Laxus just now seemed like they were playing house.
"Moenge"
When Cana woke up, she looked at Moen standing in front of the surging lightning with a worried expression. It was hard for her not to worry; there was no way she could help it, the power that Laxus was displaying was simply too exaggerated.
"It will definitely work!"
Erza gritted her teeth; she refused to believe that even Moen couldn't hold her own against Laxus!
Although there is a four-year age difference between the two, this is Moen, the Moen who has repeatedly shocked the world!
"Laxus has already deployed this level of power to deal with him, which means he believes Moen is worth it!"
Mirajane spoke with great certainty, and her words were reasonable and well-founded, which reassured everyone who was worried.
Everyone's eyes turned to Moen. For some reason, Laxus inexplicably became the target of everyone's shared hatred. Perhaps it was because they were all test takers, perhaps because everyone was more familiar with Moen, or perhaps it was because Laxus's excited and frenzied expression made him look like a villain.
At least compared to Moon who has slightly squinted eyes and a smile on his face, Laxus does look more like a villain, but what they don’t know is that squinting eyes are the scariest!
"Buzz!!!"
Moen stood there, facing the surging lightning, letting the faint blue starlight emanating from his body flow freely.
He raised one hand and stretched it towards the sky. In an instant, starlight began to twinkle in the sky. Star charts of several constellations were distributed across the sky, and starlight filled the sky, converging towards Sirius Island and towards Moen, who was standing there. Behind Moen, the star chart also began to twinkle.
"Aries Gold Cloth!"
With a mere thought, pieces of armor shimmering with golden light flew out one after another, then quickly merged with his body. His aura immediately surged, starlight flashed, and he pressed directly against the surging golden lightning.
The moment this shimmering golden armor appeared, it almost overshadowed the golden lightning of Laxus, making people want to look away, yet unwilling to look away at all.
'That's a style I've never seen before. Is this the power Moen gained during that incident? Truly extraordinary.'
Upon seeing this, Laxus immediately recalled the last anomaly in the celestial spheres and made the correct judgment.
The onlookers were stunned. The power that Moen displayed was in no way inferior to Laxus. After the appearance of the golden armor, he even overwhelmed Laxus. How could they not be shocked?
Even Erza, Mirajane, Cana, Gray, and Elfman, who had great confidence in Moen, were stunned by this scene.
They believed that Moen could hold his own against Laxus, but they didn't expect that Moen could directly overpower Laxus in terms of momentum!
Both are exceptionally talented, but with a full four years less development time, is Moen going to continue his unreasonable underdog-to-superior strategy?!
"Sizzle!"
Facing the imposing Moen, Laxus did not hesitate at all. He charged directly at Moen, his entire body crackling with lightning, as if he had transformed into lightning itself. In Moen's eyes, he was a rapidly approaching bolt of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Laxus was already in front of Moen.
Then he materialized from the lightning and threw a punch at Moen. The lightning magic attached to his body, constantly stimulating his flesh, activating it, and comprehensively improving his strength, speed, and resilience.
"Buzz!"
Moen's body flickered, and Laxus punched Moen in the face, but missed completely and fell forward. Moen's figure had already appeared behind him in an instant.
"Instant teleportation!"
Laxus reacted almost instantly. His figure transformed into lightning once more, soaring into the sky before falling to the side, successfully creating distance between himself and Moen, narrowly avoiding Moen's finger that shimmered with crimson light.
Laxus's skillful handling of the situation was largely thanks to Joseph Bora, as the ability to "teleport" was one of Joseph Bora's specialties.
However, although he wasn't injured, that attack had left Laxus sweating profusely. He hadn't expected Moen to have this move, which Moen had never used before!
Clearly, this is also a new ability that comes with the "golden armor with ram's horns on the shoulders." If he remembers correctly, Moen seems to call these armors "sacred garments."
From "bronze" to "silver", and now to this piece of "gold".
"Is this the power of the Gold Cloth?"
Laxus asked with a serious expression. He had a good understanding of his younger brother's power system, at least more than most outsiders who were completely unaware of it.
He knew that abilities like the "Scarlet Needle" and the Rose that made Moen famous were both "Gold" level abilities, but the enhancement brought by this Golden Armor far exceeded those two abilities.
"That's right, this is the power of the Aries Gold Cloth, but this is just the beginning. Don't be too surprised, my brother. The best is yet to come. Let's continue."
With a smile on his face, Moen slowly spoke, extending his crimson-glowing finger toward Laxus and beckoning it, as if Laxus were the challenger.
To Moen's surprise, Laxus didn't angrily charge at him again and slam into his "Crystal Wall." Laxus just stood there, stunned.
'He actually called me brother?'
At this moment, Laxus was only thinking about this one question.
