Fairy Tail: Strongest Creature

The formerly eliminated Blue Pegasus members bristled at Minerva's ruthless maneuver. Yet as they watched her ally swarm Su Yan, they understood that Sabertooth's ostensibly clever plan was in fact a colossal blunder.

Su Yan's aura surged outward, filling the arena with oppressive force. The earth trembled beneath his feet.

"Do you wonder why I'm laughing?" he called out. "It's simple—your numbers mean nothing when you underestimate me. Now see how foolish you truly are!"

"Attack!" Minerva snarled, and the four Sabertooth warriors sprang into action.

Rufus unleashed Ancient Wisdom's Descent, summoning a golden magic circle high above Su Yan; light cascaded down, intent on crushing him with intense gravity.

Oujia raised his hands. "Thor's Runic Particle Cannon!" he boomed, firing black thunder like a heavy siege weapon.

Sting inhaled deeply. "Roar of the White Dragon!" he cried, unleashing a searing beam of white energy from his mouth.

Black thunder and white dragon-fire converged on Su Yan as Rufus's gravity field restrained him—an exquisitely choreographed onslaught.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A titanic explosion shattered nearby structures, sending shockwaves rippling across the arena.

Heartbeats later, the smoke cleared. There stood Su Yan—unharmed, unwavering.

"This cannot be!" Minerva shouted, her voice cracking. "No one survives that attack unscathed!"

Orga stared in disbelief. "It's impossible!"

Across the stands, spectators gaped.

"He took their ultimate combo and shrugged it off!"

"What manner of monster is he?!"

"I've never seen anything like this…"

"They call him the Undying Demon Emperor—not for literal immortality, but because no one can fell him."

Su Yan's lips curved into a faint smile. "Impressive," he said. "But now it's my turn."

In an instant, Su Yan vanished—and reappeared directly before Orga.

Surprised, Orga clenched his gauntlets—wrapped in crackling black thunder—and charged.

"Lightning Shock!" Su Yan roared, channeling both his Armed and Overlord auras into a single purple-tinged thunderbolt around his fist.

Boom!

Their fists collided in a cataclysm of energy, splintering the ground and tearing apart nearby walls. Orga screamed as he was hurled skyward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He crashed through building after building, collapsing unconscious. Fairy Tail's score jumped by two points—to sixty-five.

"Spike! Another spike! Su Yan has downed Orga in an instant!"

Murmurs of astonishment swept the arena.

Rufus reacted instantly. "Memory Shape—Frozen Black Thunder Dragon!" he commanded, summoning a colossal ice dragon coiled with black lightning overhead.

Gray's eyes widened. "Leon's magic?"

Yuka and Toby gasped. "They're mimicking Ice magic—but on a massive scale!"

Su Yan didn't flinch. He summoned a gargantuan purple blade of pure aura. With a single, decisive slash, he cleft the ice dragon in two—and then sent the blade hurtling at Rufus.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rufus fell beneath the onslaught. Two more points for Fairy Tail, bringing their total to sixty-seven.

"Give it up, Miss," Sting said, approaching Minerva. "Orga and Rufus have fallen. You can't best Su Yan—he's too strong."

Minerva's eyes blazed. She snapped her fingers, opening a twisted pocket of space to reveal Lector, the guild's kitten, trembling inside. With a cruel smile, she clasped its throat.

"Stop!" Sting cried, horrified.

Knowing Minerva's vicious streak, he surged with dragon power. His body glowed with brilliant white light.

"The Holy Light Rain of the White Dragon!" he roared, channeling a cascade of purifying beams at Su Yan.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless streaks of white light pounded Su Yan's form—yet only a faint red glow from his Armed aura shimmered in response. He stood firm, untouched.

A hush fell over the arena.
