Chapter 70 The Final Struggle
Chapter 70 The Final Struggle
Kotomine Shirou rushed forward.
He charged into the very center of the battlefield.
In his hand, he still held his precious bow.
Just as Shirou Kotomine was about to reach Joseph, Joseph, who had been fighting Erza and Mirajane, immediately launched an attack on Shirou Kotomine.
A jet-black stream of magical energy.
Magic arrows imbued with the aura of death.
There's also the compressed magic ball.
These attacks were all aimed directly at Kotomine Shirou, with the intention of killing him.
Joseph now harbored deep hatred for Shirou Kotomine.
However, Shirou Kotomine is not so easily defeated.
Although he cannot unleash his true name, the treasured bow in Kotomine Shirou's hands is of top-notch quality.
Shirou Kotomine brandished his treasured bow, deflecting all of Joseph's magical attacks.
With Erza and Mirajane joining forces, Joseph found it difficult to mount a continuous attack on Shirou Kotomine.
Therefore, after withstanding this wave of attacks, Kotomine Shirou was able to reach the center of the battlefield without any further hindrance.
Then he swung his enhanced bow and smashed it down on Joseph's head.
Smash Joseph's head.
This is what Shirou Kotomine was thinking at that moment.
However, as the battle progressed, Joseph gradually regained his physical memories of close combat techniques, which allowed him to easily dodge Shirou Kotomine's hammer blows.
Shirou Komine was not surprised by this.
The strong in this world rarely have obvious weaknesses.
Furthermore, due to the nature of magic, it is highly possible for it to erupt.
To defeat it in one blow would be virtually impossible without overwhelming power.
So this did not frustrate Shirou Kotomine in the slightest.
Thus, if one strike fails, the next strike is already prepared.
Faced with Shirou Kotomine's sudden attack, Joseph swung his arms, trying to knock Shirou Kotomine back.
Ke Yanfeng Shirou instantly activated the projection magic.
A magic sword appeared in his hand, and the enhanced patterns spread upwards.
Then a flash of sword light appeared.
Joseph's arm was severed.
Fresh blood splattered out, staining everything around it crimson.
"what!"
Joseph roared in agony once more.
The intense pain made his eyes seem almost bloodshot.
Faced with Joseph's appearance, Shirou Kotomine and his two companions rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.
While you are sick, I will kill you!
All three were decisive and ruthless.
They hadn't forgotten Joseph's previous plan to wipe out Fairy Tail.
Therefore, when facing Joseph, no matter how much pain he was in, the three of them did not hesitate in the slightest.
Kill Joseph.
This is the top priority.
Although their initial plan was simply to stall the enemy and wait for Chairman Makarov to recover from his injuries and wake up from his slumber.
But thanks to Joseph's underestimation, the three had already achieved significant results.
Kotomine Shirou crushed one of Joseph's arms and then severed his other arm.
Erza and Mirajane also took the opportunity to leave many wounds on Joseph's body.
Joseph's blood had already splattered everywhere around the battlefield.
"ah!!!"
Taking advantage of Joseph's vulnerability due to his severed arm, Shirou Kotomine rushed directly into Joseph's arms.
A direct elbow strike to the heart.
Joseph coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
He had just fallen to the ground when Erza and Mirajane's attacks arrived.
Erza's sword and Mirajane's fist both struck Joseph, pinning him to the ground.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine, who had been relentlessly pursuing Joseph after knocking him away, immediately aimed his enhanced fist at Joseph's head, intending to smash the dog's head in one blow.
"No, I can't die! I can't die!"
Just as Shirou Kotomine was about to unleash his final punch, the dying Joseph once again unleashed his power.
Terrifying magical power surged continuously from his body.
A strong force of repulsion began to stop Kotomine Shirou from moving forward.
Erza and Mirajane, who were closer to Joseph, had already been pushed out.
The three of them continued to resist this force.
They knew very well that this was the impact of magic.
They were all well aware of just how terrifying the magical power of the Ten Wizard Saints was.
If Shirou Kotomine hadn't suddenly shattered Joseph's hands midway through, sealing away most of his magic, the three of them wouldn't have dared to harbor any murderous intent.
This shows just how unjustly Joseph was defeated.
First they underestimated their opponent, and then they were severely damaged.
He didn't even have a chance to unleash his full potential.
Only now, on the verge of death, did his full strength reveal itself to the three of them.
Enveloped in magic, Joseph, who was already as tattered as a rag, floated up.
He arched his back, but his limbs just hung down.
He had lost control of those parts, only his head was not completely destroyed.
He stared intently at the three, including Kotomine Shirou.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
"I'll kill you all!"
Joseph said this.
And that's exactly what he did.
The endless magical power that overflowed from his body gathered in Joseph's chest.
The power of darkness, the power of death.
All of these came together.
This is Joseph's strongest move: Death Storm.
After his hands were crippled by Shirou Kotomine, this move was sealed away.

But at this moment of near death, his magic release, which had broken through his previous limitations, was no longer confined to his hands; any part of his body could now be used as an outlet to release magic.
Thus, the strongest attack was finally revealed.
"Oh no! That's Joseph's signature move! Get out of the way!"
Mirajane, who witnessed this scene, immediately shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, the three who were resisting the rejection immediately stopped struggling, intending to use the opportunity to fly backward in order to avoid this terrifying blow.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Joseph instantly saw through the three men's thoughts.
The death storm, which had not yet reached its peak, immediately transformed into an energy wave like a halo and spread outwards.
The speed at which the magic spread far exceeded the speed at which the three were thrown backward.
The three, including Shirou Kotomine, were instantly struck by the attack.
"puff!"
Kotomine Shirou's vision went black as his newly recovered body was severely injured again, and he almost fainted.
Large amounts of blood gushed from his mouth, and even more blood flowed out through the gaps in his armor.
Besides him, Mirajane was also bleeding profusely and had already lost consciousness.
Erza's armor shattered into pieces, and her injuries were equally severe, but she could still move with difficulty.
"Erza, hurry and save Mira!"
"Don't worry about me. I can save myself!"
Kotomine Shirou shouted intermittently.
Erza, the strongest of the three, the least injured, and still able to move, nodded. She quickly changed into a suit of armor and leaped toward Mirajane.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
He reluctantly turned his head to look at the ground below.
That's right, Shirou Kotomine is in freefall.
All three of them were swept off the top floor of the Phantom Lord's headquarters by Joseph.
They are now facing the prospect of falling to their deaths.
