"So... I won't be polite then..." Having said that, Jellal Gantets began to chant, "Earth, obey my will!"

Magical energy began to flow, and his figure moved accordingly.

As the incantation left his lips, Jellal Gantets knelt on one knee, concentrating his magic power in his palm, and roared towards the ground: "Di Ji Chong Lei (Earth Strike Surge)!"

Chi—

Accompanied by a sharp sound, a sharp spike of rock suddenly burst out from beneath Kui's feet, piercing through the sand and rising from the ground.

"Ugh—" Affected by the formation, Kui had difficulty moving and couldn't dodge in time. The small of his back was stabbed directly.

But...

"Tch... I couldn't pierce his body after all..." Jellal Gantets watched his opponent, who had been thrust into the sky and was now falling back down, and spat coldly.

Logically speaking, a spirit magic attack of the "Di Ji Chong Lei (Earth Strike Surge)" level should easily pierce through flesh and blood, even if the target was wearing strong steel armor.

Unfortunately... what Kui was wearing was not strong steel armor, but the "combat suit" unique to the Dragon Ball universe.

This kind of combat suit combines the advantages of defense, toughness, lightness, and fit, and is extremely powerful. If it were graded by quality in a game, it would definitely be a [Legendary] level item.

First of all, in terms of defense... whether facing a ki blast or punches and kicks, the combat suit can effectively and greatly reduce its force. Some ki blasts of ordinary power would simply dissipate upon hitting this combat suit, making it unnecessary to even dodge.

Secondly, in terms of toughness... to give the most intuitive example: at the end of the "Saiyan Saga" in *Dragon Ball*, Vegeta, who had transformed into a giant ape, was wearing a combat suit, and that suit... was not burst even after his transformation...

As for lightness and fit, they are somewhat related to toughness. The material of this combat suit is like a rubber band that can be enlarged three hundred times and still return to its original size. Wearing it gives no feeling of weight and allows for free movement. It can be said that... on the level of combat power below 500,000, in battles that rely purely on physical damage... such a combat suit is enough to change the final outcome.

This is also why Kui, who was hit directly by Di Ji Chong Lei (Earth Strike Surge) (which causes physical damage), only suffered a little damage and didn't even break a bone...

"Ptooey... Ptui..." Kui spat out a few mouthfuls of sand that had gotten into his mouth, stood up again, and glared at Jellal Gantets fiercely, "Bastard... you actually attacked suddenly..." As he spoke, he suddenly raised an arm and roared, "You scum with a combat power of only 10,000, die!"

As the roar arose, murderous intent soared.

In an instant, a booming wave of power flew out from Kui's palm, rushing straight towards Jellal Gantets.

Kui was, after all, a man with a combat power of around 18,000, comparable to Vegeta when he first conquered Earth. Even under the restrictions of the formation, he could still unleash a terrifying ki blast to injure people.

"Cough... cough cough..."

A soft cough brought forth a graceful figure.

The Lonely Marquis, who had already anticipated the enemy's move, had been waiting for this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the Lonely Marquis flashed out, arriving on the trajectory of the ki blast. He flicked his sword and unleashed his ultimate move: "Gu Zhou Ye Deng Yi Zhang Jian (Lonely Boat Night Lamp One Palm Sword)."

The sword flashed, and true energy bloomed.

Amidst the intertwining of light and shadow, Kui's released energy was actually reflected back by the Lonely Marquis, and... its power was even greater than before.

"What!" Kui was shocked by the sight and quickly raised his arms to block.

Seeing this, Jellal Gantets also seized the opportunity to pursue. In an instant, he moved sideways several meters at high speed, and incantations rose from his mouth again: "Light, please gather all your radiance upon me and break through the darkness of this abyss..."

Before the incantation ceased, a white spear of light formed by magic suddenly condensed in his hand.

This time... Jellal Gantets learned from his previous lesson and chose a mental-type, more powerful spell...

"Ressu Flash!"

Because he possessed the power of a demonic fairy within him, Jellal Gantets' spellcasting speed and magic power far exceeded that of ordinary humans. Even disregarding his outstanding physical skills, he was a top-notch magic user in terms of using magic.

Therefore... the destructive power of this attack would definitely not be weaker than Kui's ki blast.

Boom—Bang—

Two slightly different explosions rang out almost simultaneously.

In order to defend against the ki blast coming head-on, Kui's side was exposed, and Ressu Flash struck his ribs, piercing through his body.

"Im... impossible..." As the dust settled, Kui was spitting blood (although his blood was not red) and fell to the ground, unable to get up. "How could I... die in... such a..."

"Although your combat power is a bit higher than that of Taira no Kiyomori," Jellal Gantets said as he walked into the formation, "your combat experience, adaptability, and intelligence... are all laughably weak..."

"You... you actually..." Kui widened his eyes in surprise, watching the other's figure approach continuously.

"You're surprised that I can walk so easily under fifty times the gravity, aren't you?" Jellal Gantets replied coldly, "Hmph... aren't you wearing a scouter? Just look for yourself."

Beep beep beep—

Kui's gaze immediately shifted to the combat power scouter in front of him. Two seconds later, his expression changed drastically: "Nani! You've got to be kidding me... your... your combat power was just one..."

"10,000..." Jellal Gantets interrupted him, "...is just the combat power represented by my synthesized body. Even if I close my eyes and sleep now, the scouter will still show 10,000." He paused for a moment, "My true strength when I'm serious, and my instantaneous combat power when I cast magic... are more than enough to deal with you."

With that, he drew the sword from his waist and quickly and decisively delivered the final blow to Kui...

…………

At the same time, somewhere in the Musou Plains.

"Hmph... everywhere I go, there are only spineless small fries..." Dodoria said as he flew through the air, pressing his combat power scouter.

His cleanup work was going very smoothly. In a short period of time, he had already wiped out several teams of patrolling demonic soldiers and generals, as well as five or six strongholds guarded by garrison captains.

Just as he was using Bukujutsu (levitation technique) to fly to the next location where there were many combat power concentrations, suddenly, a figure on the wasteland... entered his sight.

"Hmm?" Dodoria was cruel and tyrannical by nature, and loved to abuse the weak, so he would not miss such an opportunity.

Whoosh—

With an energy burst of acceleration, he flew in front of that figure and landed with a powerful thud.

"Hehehe..." Dodoria grinned as he blocked the other person's path, "So it's just an ordinary middle-aged man... let me see his combat power..."

Beep beep—

"Hahahahaha..." Dodoria saw the number displayed on the combat power scouter and immediately laughed, "Scum with a combat power of only five."

"Um..." The middle-aged man standing in front of him looked at Dodoria calmly, "Excuse me... is there something you need?"
