Chapter 559 If you could come to me
Black lightning, imbued with an aura of destruction, roamed within the guild, startling everyone with Oga's sudden display of fighting spirit.
"Ouga, don't be rude." Uru's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
It wasn't because Chase, who had come from afar, was a guest; she and Chase weren't that distant.
On the contrary, she was too familiar with Chess and worried that Oga would be beaten black and blue and disoriented.
"Don't be impulsive, Oga," Minerva, who was also aware of Chess's power, added.
"Let's forget about it. Challenging that kind of monster will result in a terrible death." Wally shook his head.
"Go, Mr. Oga! I believe in you. At least make sure that guy who stole my cat plushie gets his clothes dirty!" Miriamina clenched her fist, expressing her indignation.
Well, in her opinion, it was already a huge victory that Oga managed to get Chess's clothes dirty.
Erza, sitting next to him, calmly sipped her tea, looking completely at ease.
The other Sabertooth mages realized what was happening and began cheering and encouraging Oga.
Some were just there for the spectacle, others wanted to witness firsthand the power of Fairy Tail's strongest young mage, and still others were simply ruthless.
Well, I have some personal grudge against Oga.
Only a small group of newcomers truly believe that Oga can compete with Chess.
One gaze after another focused on him, but Chase seemed unaffected by the raging black lightning. He simply put down his wine glass and sat calmly in his original seat.
"I don't really care about challenges. I can give you the opportunity; it's up to you whether you can seize it," he said with a smile.
Ignoring the surrounding noises, Oga stared intently at Chess: "What do you mean?"
"If you can come up to me," Chase said, pointing to an area about a meter in front of him.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me? I'm just standing in front of you, what's so difficult about that?!"
Oujia instantly understood, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Boom!
Black lightning erupted like a volcanic eruption, engulfing Oga. He clenched his right fist and lowered his body, shifting his weight onto his legs.
"Mr. Chase, you'd better be careful. I'm using God-Slaying Magic, which is even more advanced than Dragon-Slaying Magic!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Oga, having fully charged up, charged straight at Chess.
Then the next second—
thump!
Oga collapsed to the ground in a spread-eagle position, the black lightning surrounding him shattering and dissipating into nothingness.
The Sabertooth mages who had been arguing just moments before all looked horrified, their foreheads dripping with sweat.
Following their horrified gazes, they saw a surging torrent of golden energy erupting from Chase's body.
That wasn't some kind of light-attribute magic, but rather a materialized phenomenon formed purely from the condensation of high-concentration magic power!
A golden torrent rose from the ground, easily piercing through the ceiling of the Saberbite Tiger Guild and reaching the sky, causing the entire town's sky to tremble and collapse!
A terrifying pressure, like that of a demon from hell, swept across the entire area. As the primary target, Ouga, who was lying on the ground unable to move, instantly turned deathly pale.
In his eyes, the person casually sitting in front of him at this moment was not some senior member of the Brotherhood Guild, but rather—
A terrifying monster with bloodshot eyes, a jet-black body, and wildly dancing hair!
"How...how could I be this powerful? I...I am the Thunder God Slayer Mage!!"
Oga roared loudly, pushing his aura to its limit.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and even unleashing their full potential could not close that gap.
After moving forward slightly by half a body length, the black lightning that erupted again completely dissipated, crushed into thin, harmless specks of light by the golden torrent.
"It seems you're not qualified to challenge me right now." Chase lightly raised a finger, withdrawing all his oppressive aura.
In an instant, all the Saberbite Tiger mages breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally able to catch their breath.
When they looked at Chase again, all they could see was fear.
"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant—" Oga stood up awkwardly, looking very dejected.
When he decided to challenge a strongman like Chase, he had already anticipated that he might fail and get badly beaten.
But they never expected that the result would be that they couldn't even get close to the other party!
"Well, don't be so discouraged. This guy can't be treated by human standards at all."
Uru sighed heavily, feeling it was necessary to comfort his guild members. "After all, even I am no match for him. It's already remarkable that you have the courage to challenge him."
Upon hearing this, Oga's expression darkened further, tinged with a hint of resentment.
President, if you had said so earlier, we would have just stood there quietly as lackeys. Would we have had to embarrass ourselves in public like this?
"So, is there anyone else who's prepared to challenge me?"
Having successfully shown off, Chase clapped his hands, slowly stood up, and looked down at the entire audience with arrogance.
Every mage whose light swept over him lowered their heads and avoided it—what a joke! Even Oga, who wields the magic to destroy gods, couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. Wouldn't they just be throwing their lives away if they went up there?
The fear from that terrifying pressure just now hasn't completely dissipated!
"Um, that—" A weak voice broke out in the guild, which was usually silent.
Hearing the voice, Chess looked over, and upon seeing the other person's face, a grin spread across his face, intrigued: "Oh? You want to give it a try?"
"No, no, please don't misunderstand!"
Yukino was immediately startled and backed away, shaking her head vigorously. "I saw the newspaper on my way here. I... I just wanted to ask you about Lucy-senpai."
"You brat, it's no big deal to scare Oga, he's shameless. I personally brought this kid into the guild."
Uru stepped forward, shielding Yukino behind him, and said with one hand on his hip in a serious tone, "If you hurt her, I'll tell Mr. Makarov!"
These words almost broke Oga's spirits, and he squatted in the corner, pitifully drawing circles on the floor.
Although it's a bit inappropriate, this massive, muscular man gives off a strange sense of "I'm not his biological child."
"You personally led them into the Saber-Biting Tiger territory?"
Chess noticed the implication in Uru's words; she hadn't said that when Oga and Rufus appeared earlier.
Given Kagura's reaction earlier and Yukino's current situation, it's hard for him not to suspect that Ul might have secretly learned Old Ma's skill of picking up talented children from outside!
— Strictly speaking, it doesn't really count as stealing knowledge, since Uru has a history of "picking up children," like Gray and Leon.
"That's right, judging from your reaction, you must have encountered this in the future, right? What do you think? Isn't this kid amazing?!"
Uru patted Yukino on the shoulder with a proud look on his face, it was unclear whether he was affirming Yukino's talent or boasting about his own judgment.
Yukino, who was praised, shrank back a little, looking somewhat embarrassed.
