Chapter 46 I Am Also a Lightning Dragon Slayer!
🕑 Added 2025-10-31 23:11:21 +0000 UTCKardia Cathedral!
Kenichi and Laxus stood facing each other from a distance.
Although neither Kenichi nor Laxus had made a move yet, the terrifying magical power emanating from the two had already begun to clash.
At this moment, the air in the cathedral was filled with a suffocating aura.
If it weren't for Erza being strong enough, an ordinary mage here would probably find it very difficult to even breathe.
"Kenichi, Laxus is also a Dragon Slayer, be careful!"
Thinking that Kenichi might not know Laxus was a Dragon Slayer, Erza called out a warning to him.
Hearing Erza's words, Laxus's eyes across the way snapped wide open.
"Lightning Blast!"
Laxus violently swung his palm towards Kenichi.
A powerful golden pillar of lightning surged out from Laxus's palm, rushing directly towards Kenichi.
The moment Laxus attacked, Kenichi also raised his arm and his Lightning Magic.
Crackle, crackle, crackle-
In the next second, a golden pillar of lightning also shot out from Kenichi's palm, colliding with Laxus's lightning pillar.
The two pillars of lightning collided, and a series of thunderous explosions immediately rang out in the air.
"The exact same magic as Laxus?!"
Erza, standing behind Kenichi, was first startled to see Kenichi also cast [Lightning Blast].
But she quickly understood.
Because she knew Kenichi was a ‘Magic Prodigy’!
"As expected of Kenichi, he learned Laxus's magic in an instant!"
Just as Erza's words fell, the two colliding golden lightning bolts erupted with an incredibly dazzling light.
This light swallowed everything within the great hall.
After a brief silence, a terrifyingly loud explosion sounded through the air.
The walls of the cathedral had already developed many cracks during Erza and Laxus's earlier fight.
Now, under the impact of this terrifying explosion, the entire cathedral collapsed with a roar.
…
"..."
Levy, Cana, and the others near the Fairy Tail Guild, upon hearing the terrifying explosion, all looked in the direction of the sound.
"It's coming from the cathedral!"
"Are Erza and the others at the cathedral?"
Without any hesitation, Levy, Cana, and the others rushed towards the direction of Caldia Cathedral.
When Levy and the others arrived near the cathedral, they saw that the large cathedral had been reduced to ruins.
Soon, Cana and Levy spotted Erza standing outside the ruins.
"Erza!"
Hearing Cana's call, Erza turned around.
"Cana, Levy..."
"What exactly..."
Just as Erza was about to answer, an incredibly dazzling golden light suddenly appeared atop the ruins.
Immediately after, another earth-shattering explosion sounded through the air.
At the same time, a violent shockwave mixed with rock fragments spread out in all directions.
Erza, Levy, and the others immediately raised their arms to protect themselves.
The terrifying explosion came and went quickly.
In just an instant, the dazzling light vanished, and the violent shockwave dissipated.
When the wind died down, Levy, Cana, and the others lowered their protective arms and looked forward.
They saw two figures standing facing each other atop the ruins.
One of them was shimmering with golden lightning, while the other was enveloped in crimson flames.
The moment she saw these two figures, Levy exclaimed, "Kenichi and Laxus?!"
"Erza, stop them, quickly!" Cana also urgently said.
Kenichi and Laxus weren't Natsu and Gray.
If it were a fight between Natsu and Gray, Erza could easily stop it.
But both Kenichi and Laxus were no weaker than her.
More importantly, Laxus at this moment simply wouldn't listen to reason.
"I can't stop them. Right now, we can only believe in Kenichi!" Erza said to Cana while looking at Kenichi on the ruins.
‘Kenichi!’
Hearing Erza's words, the worry on Levy's face deepened, and she began praying in her heart.
"Raging Bolt!"
While Erza, Levy, and the others were talking, Laxus atop the ruins had already chanted a magic incantation.
Simultaneously, a thundercloud gathered above Kenichi's head.
As Laxus swung his arm, the thundercloud formed a massive golden ball of lightning that directly pressed down towards Kenichi below.
Bzzzt-
Soon, the huge lightning ball struck Kenichi.
However, just as the lightning ball was about to explode, it began shrinking at a visible rate.
Witnessing this scene, the previously worried Erza and Levy now wore looks of confusion.
As the lightning ball continuously shrank, Kenichi, who had been covered by it, reappeared in their field of vision.
At this point, they saw that Kenichi was eating the massive lightning ball, just like how Natsu eats fire.
To be precise, he was absorbing the lightning within the ball.
Watching this, Laki, Macao, and the others beside Cana looked as if they'd seen a ghost, each shouting in astonishment, "He ate Laxus's lightning!"
Erza, however, furrowed her brows.
Erza knew Kenichi was a Fire Dragon Slayer.
If Kenichi were eating fire, she wouldn't find it strange at all.
But right now, Kenichi was eating lightning.
Erza knew that if a Fire Dragon Slayer ate magical power of an attribute other than fire, their body would experience a rejection reaction.
In Erza's view, with Kenichi's temperament, he shouldn't do something like recklessly eating magic power the way Natsu does.
‘Could it be...’
Just then, a conjecture formed in Erza's mind.
As Erza was pondering, Laxus across the way also showed a look of astonishment.
"He actually ate my magic?"
"In that case..."
"Lightning Dragon’s Roar!"
An extremely displeased Laxus let out an angry roar and then unleashed the Lightning Dragon’s Roar.
Instantly, a golden pillar of lightning shot towards Kenichi's location.
At this moment, Kenichi also took a deep breath and, just like Laxus, performed the Lightning Dragon’s Roar.
Bzzzt-
‘So it's true, Kenichi learned Laxus's Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic!’
Seeing Kenichi also unleash the Roar of the Lightning Dragon, joy immediately appeared on Erza's face.
She knew this battle was already over.
Lightning-based magic is ineffective against a Lightning Dragon Slayer.
Although both Kenichi and Laxus were Lightning Dragon Slayers.
Kenichi possessed other magics besides Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic.
This meant that Laxus's attacks were ineffective against Kenichi.
But Kenichi's attacks were effective against Laxus.
