Pushing open the door, Esther looked at the clean and tidy room, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.

The table was spotless, and his own bed, Larulas and Cutty's cots were neatly stacked.

Esther took off her coat, hung it on the shelf, and walked over to her desk, where she found a notebook, as well as a pen.

Flipping through the book, the first page reads "Miss the master" in four big words, and the handwriting is crooked.

Flip to the second page, it reads:

"xxx years, xxx months, xxx days

Today is the first day that the master has entered the deep mountains, and I miss it!

Katy Dog and I fought with a B-class monster today, if it weren't for Katy Dog's help, I guess I'd die~

Thanks to the cutty, but the wound hurts, and thankfully the kind grandmother healed me and the cutty!"

Looking at the crooked handwriting, Esther's heart twitched, and she was distressed!

Page 3, "I miss my master, I have to get up early the next day, make the bed for my master, and yesterday the catty dog was so naughty that he messed up the master's bed!"

It is estimated that the catty dog also misses the owner~'

After reading several pages, Esther couldn't take it anymore, closed the note, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes, "Larulas, Cutty Dog~"

……

In the middle of the forest, Cutty Dog and Larulas surround an ape-like monster.

At this time, Larulas is still calming, but the aura of his body has changed dramatically, the previous Laruas was weak and timid, and now Laluas still looks quiet, but that timidity is gone, replaced by a killing aura.

With every breath the catty dog breathes, it spits out some sparks.

This ape, a B-class monster, belongs to the middle level of B-class, and fights two little ones with an attack that can be called Monkey Fist.

If you observe for yourself, you will find that the main attack is Larulas, and the cutty dog has been reduced to a situation of playing support.

Larulas was surrounded by a super-powered telekinesis.

The little face looked serious and floated in mid-air.

The ape's slap slapped Larulas, but the powerful slap stalled an inch away from Larulas.

Bang~

With a soft sound, the slap was directly bounced out, and Larulas's small hand pushed forward one by one, and the invisible force exploded directly, pushing the ape's huge size out.

"Lalu~" The fierce voice sounded, followed by the impact from top to bottom, pressing the ape's backward body to the ground.

"Laru~" again, Larulas's little face was flushed, and the ape's body slowly detached from the ground.

Struggle, panic, permeated the ape's mind, but under the confinement of Larulas's telekinesis, he could only struggle in vain, and his expression slowly became frightened.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel a terrifying attack condensed in front of the creature in front of him, which was only the size of his palm, and if he took this blow head-on, he would definitely die.

"Blade of Mental Power" uses telekinetic power to turn into a sword blade, which is a skill developed by Larulas himself.

A sharp light flashed, the ape's pupils dilated, and its body was directly split in two.

"Laru~" Laruas shouted happily.

The cutty dog on the side was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled.

Early this morning, Larulas told him that he was going to test a new trick, and the cutty dog, who didn't care much about it, was now taken aback.

Mental power bondage + unknown mental power slash, as long as you fail to break free from the bondage with absolute strength, the subsequent attack is certain death.

Larulas was victorious, filled with pride, and called out to the cutty dog, and continued to look for an opponent.

……

Esther rested in the room for a while, then got up and left the room.

He hasn't returned to the guild for two years, but he feels that nothing has changed, and it's not right, his friends have grown a lot, and there are some new faces joining the guild.

Quietly leaving the guild, Esther walked towards the river where they practiced daily, but at the edge of the mountain forest, Esther stopped.

Esther's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of oppression descended on him, and he looked ahead, his gaze becoming a little deep.

A gust of wind blew and lifted his clothes, as well as the robe of the burly man opposite.

Blonde hair, with magic headphones, looks particularly striking in the sun.

"Laxus!" In a deep voice, Esther called out the other party's name.

Laxus clasped his hands around and closed his eyes, letting the wind blow his coat.

When Esther called out his name, Laxus opened his eyes, and the feeling of oppression became even more prickly.

Esther felt the oppression and realized that the person who had come was not good.

He didn't speak, and even just indifferently took the momentum of the other party, and did not choose to fight.

After a while, Laxus opened his eyes, "Esther Renault, the last time we met, I was just a little ghost, but I didn't expect to have S-level strength after not seeing him for a short time!"

No wonder even the old man thinks you're the best wizard of Fairy Tail in a hundred years. Laxus spoke, his voice flat, but the tyranny in his eyes was full.

"If you're just saying that, and now you've said it, then get out of the way, Laxus" Esther's voice was unusually flat, without any anger.

"No, no, no, how could I do such a boring thing!" The aura on Laxus became more and more tyrannical, "You learned the magic of Kildas and hunted an S-class monster, I just wanted to ask you for advice, let me see how many catties and taels the most talented magician of the younger generation has!" ”

"Oh, interesting, Laxus, when did you become as fond of challenging people as Natsu was!" A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of Esther's mouth.

"I'm being compared to that playful guy!" Perhaps because of Esther's sarcasm, there were already blue veins on Laxus's forehead.

"I'm only shooting at the prey I'm interested in!"

Rumble~

As the words fell, golden lightning turned into a large net of thunder and lightning and shrouded Esther.

Esther narrowed her eyes slightly, but the thunder grid was blocked by an invisible barrier, and the crackling sound kept sounding, and it was indeed impossible to break through this barrier at all.

"Enough is Laxus~" Esther spoke, and with a wave of his hand, the thunder grid disappeared directly.

Seeing that his power grid was broken, Laxus sneered, "If I don't come to you, that's fine, I'll have a good time with your little friends, oh, yes, and your two pets!" ”

As he spoke, Laxus stepped on the ground, and suddenly a violent thunderbolt was transmitted from the ground to Esther.

Esther lowered her head, as if she was stupefied by the snake-like thunder and lightning.

However, just as the lightning was about to touch Esther's body, Esther suddenly raised her head.

Syllable~

Those extraordinary thunderbolts shattered directly.

"Laxus, you've me off!" At this moment, the aura on Esther's body completely changed, becoming domineering and indifferent.

"Since you want to fight, then I'll play with you!"

Speaking bland words, it does carry a strong chill.

Esther has a good temper, but that's without touching his scales, and he doesn't have many scales, Larulas, Elusa, and now they have to add a "fairy tail".

Although he knew that Laxus was just to provoke himself, he still couldn't help but be angry, since he wanted to fight, then let's fight!

"Hahaha, that's how it should be!" After saying that, Laxus finally stopped standing differently, and magic erupted from his body, turning into terrifying and hideous thunder and lightning, enveloping his strong body.

"Crackling~" With a soft sound, Laxus turned into an arc of electricity, flashed in the air a few times, and then moved behind Esther, holding a claw in one hand, and grabbing Esther with thunder and lightning.

The air became restless under the tyrannical force.

Esther didn't turn around, just took a step to the side.

"呲~"

The thunderclaw slashed against Esther's head, causing a thunderclap in the air in front of him.

Laxus laughed wildly, and his hand fell directly to the diagonal back, but it was a stagnant hand, and at some point, Esther had grabbed his arm, and the power transmitted imprisoned him.

Laxus had a hideous look on his face, "It's not a lot of strength!" ”

Rumble~

The magic exploded, turning into a furious thunderbolt that swept through.

Esther's eyes rang out, and the magic exploded as well, shaking Laxus away and blocking his lightning at the same time.

Laxus only took a step back, then stabilized his body, and his hands were closed, and between his palms, there was condensed thunder and lightning, scorching and violent.

Then, with a grasp of both hands, he split the plasma and wrapped it around his hands and arms.

"Thunder Crit!"

Rumble~

With a wave of his hands, two bolts of lightning the thickness of an adult's forearm fell from the sky and slashed at Esther's head.

Esther's face was serious, and for the first time she raised her hand, her fist wrapped in magic.

Then he struck at the thunderbolt.

Airplanes~

Rumble~

The fist slashed, and the thunder and lightning turned into a dream bubble like foam.

The super-superior destruction magic, "Smash", can not only shatter physical matter, but also shatter intangible matter, such as magic.

Of course, if you want to smash magic, you need to practice to a very high level.

Obviously, these two years of cultivation have allowed Esther to reach the point where he can shatter other people's magic.

If it is really compared to the attainment of "smashing" magic, Esther is confident that even Kildas cannot compare to himself.

Seeing his magic being shattered, Laxus was also stunned, but soon, his eyes were covered by fierce light again, his hands changed, his fists clenched, and thunderbolts burst into thunderbolts, turning into thunderbolts dancing wildly, but these thunderbolts did not attack, but around his body, more and more, one of them, as if they had reached the limit, and those thunderbolts turned into a hideous beast under the control of Laxus.

"Raging Thunderbeast!"

"Roar~"

The thunder sounded like the roar of a wild beast.

The thunder beast started slowly, but only in an instant, it turned into a thunder shadow that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Thunder Devour!"

Above Esther's head, the Thunderbeast appeared, opened its bloody mouth, and bit fiercely.

Esther took a deep breath, her legs slightly open, and the magic power in her body quickly poured into her right fist.

"Eighth-level Collapse Fist!"

A punch blasted out, shattering all the surrounding air, perhaps because of the extremely terrifying power, the fist was wrapped in black arcs.

Rumble~

Burst~

The fist collided with the thunder beast, and in an instant, Esther's magic and the thunder beast came to naught at the same time.

The two fists collided together, sending the two of them back several meters.

Esther shook his hand, a little numb.

Laxus's hand was no better, and he was also a little paralyzed.

In the first meeting, the two can be said to be evenly matched, no matter how good they are.

Arcs of electricity resurfaced on Laxus, but compared to the previous mana, it became more violent and terrifying.

Esther narrowed her eyes slightly, and Esther could feel that Laxus had used the hidden magic, the power of the Thunder Slayer Dragon Magi.

Bake~

Pale flames burned and boiled from Esther.

This is Esther's special power that combines smashing magic, super telekinesis and fire power, Cangyan, not only has the effect of super-telekinesis, but also has the rage, scorching, and shattering destruction of fire.

"Sure enough, you're still hiding!" Laxus smiled sinisterly, his eyes filled with mad excitement.

"Aren't you too, Laxus, the Thunder Magister, or more appropriately call you the Thunder Dragon Slayer!"

Esther mocked the past without showing any weakness.

Bang~

In the face of Esther's sarcasm, Laxus directly responded with a drop of thunder.

Esther didn't pay attention to it at all, and before the thunder could fall, it was shattered by the shattering characteristics that Cangyan possessed.

Rumble~

As soon as Laxus stepped out, he had already appeared in front of Aster, and at this time, Laxus had completely changed, with fine dragon scales appearing on his face, and his magic power had become extremely violent and bloodthirsty.

"Brontosaurus's Collapse Fist~"

A sonic boom was unleashed, and a straight fist burst through the middle door with a furious thunderbolt and landed on Esther's side.

"Baji Boxing Strength - Collapse Fist"

Rumble~

Collapse fist to collapse fist, the terrifying power was transmitted along the bodies of the two to the ground, and the overwhelmed ground directly appeared Dao cracks.

A fierce glint flashed in Laxus's eyes, "The roar of the Brontosaurus~"

A thunderbolt swept in.

Esther took a step back, and his backhand was a void punch.

Airplanes~

Rumble~

The thunder was shattered, but the furious shards of thunder and lightning raged in all directions.

Ignoring the thunder and lightning beside him, Esther stepped forward, and with his movements, Cang Yan turned into a giant that Laxus had never seen before.

"Cangyan ~ Pushing the Mountain"

With both hands pushing forward, the two of the Flame Giants lifted up and pushed forward at a seemingly slow, but very rapid speed.

Oppression, with the push of the palm of his hand, Laxus only felt, as if the space had been pushed over, squeezed together, oppressing him.

"Brontosaurus's Horn Strike!"

The thunderbolt turned into the dragon's horns and collided with the giant's hands.

Rumble~

Another terrifying storm of energy uprooted the surrounding trees, and the ground was either scorched or pitted.

"Brontosaurus's Wing~"

The wings of lightning stretched behind Laxus, and with a shudder, Laxus slashed across the sky at breakneck speed, "Slash!" ”

In mid-air, the thunder wings merged, turned into a thunder blade, and slashed down.

Esther clasped his hands together, and a beam of light condensed between the giant's palms, "Cangyan shattered!" ”

Rumble~

The shattering shock wave and the lightning slash collided again, and the dust rolled up by the energy wave directly engulfed the two of them.

When the dust cleared, the two stood opposite each other, both gasping for breath, but a closer look revealed that Esther was more serious.

This is also normal, after all, Esther is not as good as Laxus in terms of rank, and being able to fight with the other party now is enough to make him proud.

After all, after using the power of the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic, Laxus is at the middle and upper level among the S-level magicians.

Most of the magic in Esther's body had been consumed, and Laxus was a little better than him, but not much better.

But there was a hint of madness in both of their eyes, and neither of them would admit defeat.

The two of them stepped on the ground almost at the same time and rushed forward.

A flame, a thunderbolt.

Just as the two were about to collide together, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared and grabbed the two of them.

An indescribable magic force directly suppressed the magic power of the two of them into their bodies.

"Enough for the two of you!" Makarov's slightly angry voice rang out, causing both of them to freeze at the same time.

Makarov stepped out and grabbed the giant hands of the two, which were transformed by his hands.

"Looks like I can't fight anymore!" Laxus let out a sigh of relief, his expression calming down.

"Old man, what you said is really right, I am really far behind!" Laxus's voice became flat, but on the contrary, it was flat, making people feel even more uneasy.

"But it won't be long before I'm going to be the strongest! Beyond you! ”

Makarov did not speak, but just sent two people away.

"Esther, sooner or later, I will defeat you! Only I can become the strongest magician of Fairy Tail! ”

After saying these proclamation-like words, Laxus turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Esther frowned, he always sensed that something was wrong with Laxus.

In the past, although Laxus was a little unpopular, it would never be so violent and chaotic, and it would not do anything to attack the guild members.

He could clearly feel the tyranny in the other party's heart.

This made Esther very strange, but he hadn't seen what happened to Laxus for two years that made him change so much.

"Hey, I'm sorry, Esther, my grandson, for causing you trouble!" Makarov spoke suddenly, with exhaustion in his tone.

"Old man, what the hell is going on?" Esther hesitated, but asked.

"If you're not in a hurry, take a walk with me, an old man!" After Makarov finished speaking, he walked towards the distance on crutches.

Esther didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that his back was not as straight as before.

Shaking his head, he hurriedly followed Makarov's footsteps, he also wanted to know what happened to the guild in the year after he entered the deep mountains.

Makarov didn't speak, just walked slowly, and Esther kept following and didn't take the initiative to ask.
