Bab 13: Chapter 13 : Suprise?
"What?!"
The expressions of the three individuals changed at the sound of Kyros's voice.
Turning their gaze toward the epicenter of the explosion, they witnessed Kyros leaning casually on a mace with one hand while using the other to cover his ears with his mother's fingers, sporting a relaxed demeanor.
"Crack! Crack!"
However, Kyros's appearance was somewhat peculiar; his hair was tousled, and intermittent flashes of golden lightning emanated from him.
"How is this possible? Can he withstand lightning strikes like Laxus?" Fried exclaimed in disbelief.
Initially startled, Mila quickly discerned the extraordinary nature of Kyros's constitution. Transforming into Satan's soul, she launched an assault on Kyros, yet not even a scratch was left upon him.
Thus, it seemed plausible that even if Kyros were to be struck by Laxus, he would remain unscathed.
Wearing a grim expression, Laxus remarked, "Kyros, it appears I underestimated you, but don't assume you can defeat me! I am leagues apart from those mediocre guild members!"
"Crack!"
Laxus discharged a formidable lightning pillar from his palm, directed at Kyros.
Kyros raised his palm.
"Shh!"
Instantly, Kyros's palm was enveloped in Armament Haki, utilizing the most fundamental aspect: hardening.
"Boom!"
Kyros lifted his palm to intercept Laxus' Lightning Pillar, the impact continuing relentlessly.
A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Kyros's mouth as he flicked his palm sideways, redirecting the lightning pillar at a 90-degree angle towards the neighboring house.
"Boom!"
The house was engulfed in a golden explosion of lightning.
"Wow!" Mira exclaimed, stepping back in astonishment.
"How is this possible? Is Laxus truly this formidable?" Mira acknowledged Laxus' strength, but the extent of it took her by surprise.
Meanwhile, Fried was even more incredulous and astonished. Kyros had faced Laxus' thunderbolt head-on with bare hands and emerged unscathed, proving that his defense against Laxus' earlier attack was not mere chance.
Kyros smiled at Laxus and remarked, "Indeed! It's got my blood pumping a bit."
"Boom!"
With a swift step, Kyros shattered the ground beneath him, hurtling towards Laxus with his mace poised to strike.
Crackles of golden lightning enveloped Laxus as he deftly dodged Kyros's assault.
"Boom!"
The earth fractured and a sizable crater formed from Kyros's forceful blow.
Fried couldn't help but feel awestruck by such tremendous power. Was this truly the might possessed by a thirteen-year-old boy?
With a crackle of electricity, Laxus materialized behind Kyros, seizing his wrist that held the mace.
Wearing a wicked grin, Laxus taunted, "You're not getting away! Observe this technique!"
His other fist clenched, lightning gathering within it as he aimed for Kyros's face.
"Kyros!" Mirajane cried out anxiously, poised to intervene.
"Shh!"
A magical barrier is erected, blocking Mirajane's advance.
"This duel is between Laxus and Kyros. No one else is permitted to intervene."
"Stay out of this!"
"If you must leave, then let me be your enemy."
Mid-attack, Laxus bellowed, "Eula! Euler! What's wrong?! Why aren't you speaking? Did you black out?!"
Suddenly, Kyros's voice echoed, "Yeah! Your massage was so relaxing, I almost dozed off."
"What?!"
The tension surrounding Fried and Mirajane eased.
Laxus couldn't help but halt his assault, gazing at Kyros. Despite enduring numerous strikes from Laxus, Kyros appeared unscathed.
"This can't be?!" Laxus exclaimed, wide-eyed and incredulous.
Kyros seized Laxus' wrist and, with a swift movement, retorted, "Let me demonstrate what a true punch feels like!!"
With rapid precision, Kyros delivered a blow to Laxus' face.
"Uhhhhhhh!!"
"Take that--!"
Laxus cried out as he was propelled backward.
"Boom boom boom!!"
Several consecutive houses crumbled under Laxus' impact.
"Laxus!" Fried's expression turned grave witnessing Laxus' defeat.
But before he could react--
"Bang!"
"Whoa!"
Fried received a punch to the stomach.
Mirajane interjected, "You claimed my opponent was you."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Laxus rose from the rubble, dabbing at his bleeding nose. He appeared battered and forlorn.
"You wretch... you've pushed me... I'm truly furious, this won't end easily!! You'll pay the steepest price!!"
Crackling with energy, Laxus transformed into golden lightning, bounding off the street-side walls toward Kyros.
Kyros swung his mace, aiming to strike the golden thunderbolt.
Laxus, in his transformed state, swiftly evaded the attack, manifesting a humanoid form behind Kyros.
Kyros attempted a backhand claw, but Laxus, still in his lightning elemental form, didn't evade, seemingly unfazed by the attack.
With a swift motion, Kyros clasped Laxus' face with his hand.
"How is this possible?!" Laxus exclaimed in disbelief, realizing he had been caught by Kyros despite his elemental transformation.
"Hey! Did that really just happen?" Kyros's own surprise echoed in his voice.
Before the realization could fully sink in, Laxus felt an overwhelming force bearing down on him.
"Boom!"
Kyros pressed Laxus' head to the ground.
Laxus let out a startled cry as the impact reverberated through him.
