Chapter 278: Hopeless
Sting straightened, dragon-light shimmering around him.
"The Holy Breath of the White Dragon!" he roared, unleashing a torrent of pure white energy.
Su Yan lifted a single palm, purple thunder crackling around his arm. Where the two powers met, black-and-red lightning ripped the white beam apart.
"Divine Foot!" Su Yan took a step forward and appeared before Sting in an instant.
"You'd best hold your tongue."
He delivered a brutal punch to Sting's abdomen.
Sting's scream echoed through the arena as he crumpled to the ground. Fairy Tail's score climbed to 69 points.
Announcer: "Incredible! Su Yan has defeated three members of Sabertooth in a blink!"
Moments later, Gajeel felled Rogue, adding two more points and pushing Fairy Tail to 71.
Su Yan turned to face Minerva.
"Your companions have all fallen—only you remain."
A flicker of fear crossed Minerva's face.
"Don't underestimate me! I am Sabertooth's strongest mage!"
She thrust her hands forward, unleashing a massive spatial shockwave. The blast tore a crater around Su Yan…but when the dust settled, he stood perfectly unharmed. His newly honed Armament aura had rendered him impervious.
Makarov watched from the stands, nodding. "His Armament and Overlord magics… remarkable."
The crowd realized Su Yan's defense had transformed—no magic or blade could scratch him now.
Minerva's expression darkened. With a fierce incantation—
"Nahei-Wilg-Mion-Delus-Elcantias-Yagudo-Ligola!"—
she summoned the Eighteen Martial Gods and Demon,s their radiant forms coalescing overhead.
Boom—
A cataclysmic explosion obliterated everything in its wake. Yet Su Yan emerged from the heart of the blast, unscathed and serene.
He offered her a cold smile.
"Is that your strongest? Impressive—but only average. Now, repent. I'll give you three seconds."
Minerva's fury exploded.
"Repent?! We—Sabertooth—are the greatest guild in Fiore! We bow to no one!"
Su Yan raised his palm. The Overlord aura flared, summoning thousands of spectral great swords that hovered ominously in the sky.
"Space Guardian!" Minerva tried to teleport away—but each time she appeared, another rain of swords shattered her barrier.
Bang bang bang—
Blade after blade detonated around her. When the final echo faded, Minerva lay unconscious in a small crater. The surrounding arena was strewn with shattered stone.
A roar of triumph rose from Fairy Tail. Su Yan stood amidst the rubble, victorious once more—his power absolute, his resolve unbroken.
