*Bang!*

With a low,闷响声, the hearts of the onlookers around also jumped.

Immediately, everyone present saw it.

Noah's small body, like a kite with its string cut, tumbled several times in mid-air, flew backward, and then crashed heavily onto the ground several dozen meters away, creating a loud impact sound.

"Noah (Noah-nii-chan)!"

Mira, Lisanna, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Cana, Elfman, and others all cried out in alarm, running frantically toward Noah.

"Oh no!"

Gildarts, who was still in the posture of throwing a punch, was also greatly alarmed.

"I got a bit too serious without realizing it!"

"Noah-nii-chan!" Lisanna helped the fallen Noah to his feet, her eyes almost instantly welling up with tears.

"Noah-nii-chan! Noah-nii-chan!"

Mira stood directly in front of Gildarts, dark magic power like ink surging from her body, her eyes and expression becoming extremely fierce.

"I'll kill you!"

Erza, Natsu, and Gray also took up battle stances, their eyes fixed on Gildarts, looking ready to attack at any moment.

Though in a duel, injuries are inevitable, the power of Gildarts' punch just now could have shattered rocks.

Noah, who had taken the hit directly, would not be surprising if he were dead.

Even if 'Fairy Tail' values comrades and should not be hostile to each other, in such a situation, everyone could not care less.

"Isn't this going too far?" Erza said angrily.

"Do you want to kill Noah?"

"Don't think we'll be afraid just because you're an S-Class Mage!" Gray's body also surged with magic power, clearly enraged.

"If anything happens to Noah, I won't let you off!"

"Gildarts!" Natsu bared his teeth.

"I'll avenge Noah!"

Seeing Erza, Natsu, and Gray all surging with magic power, and Mira looking ready to charge out in a rage, Cana and Elfman were completely panicked.

"Ev... everyone..." Elfman was at a loss.

"C... calm down!"

Cana stood in front of everyone, spreading her arms as if to protect Gildarts, and shouted loudly.

"Wait! Everyone, calm down!"

Around them, the mages of 'Fairy Tail' also cast reproachful glances at Gildarts.

Just as Gildarts was about to say something, Noah, who had been helped up by Lisanna, gently pushed her away and stood up.

"Don't worry, everyone! I'm fine!"

"Noah (Noah-nii-chan)!" Mira, Lisanna, Erza, and others quickly gathered around Noah, as if to take care of him.

"You're actually fine?" Gildarts himself was surprised, seeing that Noah seemed to be unharmed.

"You took that punch and you're fine?"

"If I had really taken it, I wouldn't be fine." Noah chuckled bitterly, raising the knight's sword in his hand and stroking the blade.

"It helped me avoid your punch!"

"It?" Everyone present focused their gaze on the knight's sword in Noah's hand.

"Is that a magic weapon?" Gildarts realized.

"You mean the effect of this magic weapon helped you avoid my punch?"

"Yes!" Noah nodded, holding the knight's sword in front of him.

"This sword can control distance at will!"

Control distance at will!

This was the hidden effect of Noah's magic knight's sword!

By injecting magic power into the sword, the wielder can control distance at will!

For example, if the distance is shortened, even if there is a distance between the opponent, the sword's strike can still reach the opponent!

Back when Mira, Elfman, and Lisanna were in danger in the forest, Noah used this effect to shorten the distance to the giant minotaur, thus rescuing Lisanna in time.

Just now, Noah also used this effect at the moment Gildarts extended his hand, revealing a weakness, to shorten the distance to the limit and deliver that stunning strike.

After all, if the distance is shortened to one percent, the speed of the knight's sword passing through this shortened distance would increase a hundredfold, and the impact force would be ten thousand times greater!

Moreover, Noah's sword also had the ability to avoid backlash, allowing Noah to always deliver a full-strength strike without worrying about being injured by the backlash!

Therefore, the giant minotaur that endangered the Strauss siblings was directly cut in half by Noah's sword, and Gildarts had to take Noah seriously to withstand the strike that shortened the distance a hundredfold, increased the sword speed a hundredfold, and the impact force ten thousand times!

On the contrary, by using the effect of the magic knight's sword to extend the distance, the opponent's attack could be made to miss, thus nullifying the attack.

Gildarts' punch was directly nullified by Noah using this effect, which is why he was unharmed.

Of course, the effect of controlling distance with the magic knight's sword also has its limitations.

The greater the distance to be shortened or extended, the more magic power the user needs to consume, which increases exponentially.

Noah, with his unmatched magic power, was not significantly affected by this limitation.

However, the magic knight's sword has another limitation.

The maximum distance control limit is one hundred meters.

Whether shortening or extending the distance, it can only be one hundred meters.

In other words, if Gildarts' attack could reach a place a hundred meters away, Noah would not have been able to nullify it.

Fortunately, Gildarts just threw a heavy punch, reaching at most two or three meters in front of him, allowing Noah to use the effect of the knight's sword to extend the distance and avoid the attack.

"This sword's magic effect is truly rare."

Gildarts exclaimed, then smiled at Noah.

"Well, as long as you're fine. So, do you want to continue the fight?"

"No need." Noah shook his head and looked at Gildarts.

"The reason I wanted to fight you was just to see your magic."

"Magic?" Everyone, including Gildarts, was stunned.

"Super-advanced destruction magic—'Crush'!" Noah met Gildarts' stunned gaze directly.

"Just now, you used this magic to directly crush my sword strike, right?"

"So you challenged me because you were curious about my magic?" Gildarts first seemed somewhat amused, then laughed heartily.

"Right, my 'Crush' can instantly shatter the atomic bonds of any substance it touches, breaking the atomic bonds from within the material. Therefore, as long as it's a tangible object, be it a mountain or even magic, I can instantly shatter it!"

"Shatter a mountain?!" Natsu, Gray, and Elfman were shocked.

"Even magic can be shattered?" Mira, Lisanna, Erza, and Cana were all amazed.

"Indeed, worthy of being a super-advanced destruction magic..." Noah was also somewhat amazed, and his resolve became even more firm.

"Gildarts." Noah's expression became serious, looking straight at Gildarts.

"Can I learn magic from you?"

"Learn this super-advanced destruction magic—'Crush'!"

Instantly, all the sounds around them disappeared.

Mira, Lisanna, Erza, and others finally understood why Noah had challenged Gildarts to see his magic.

Noah wanted to learn Gildarts' magic!

Learn this super-advanced destruction magic that, in the field of destruction, has almost no equal!

"Learn magic from me...?" Gildarts took in Noah's serious and solemn appearance, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes.

"Did the master agree?"

Noah was silent.
