User blog:Marco the Marine Admiral/The reason why Kyuukimon kills Council Members

At first let's speak of Laxus. Jak is completely wrong about him being under Wizard Saint level. Yes, Laxus is stronger than a Wizard Saint - officially confirmed.

Firstly, in the official 38th Tankobun release, all words about "Nakama" or "Plot" published in the Magazine release were deleted, which suggests that Laxus did win by true power. Even Mashima himself has confirmed that Laxus is enough for being a Wizard Saint when it comes to strength.

Secondly, even if Laxus did use the so-called "Plot Magic", he had still hidden something in his sleeves - Dragon Force and Fairy Law, which can obviously make him above Jura level.

BUT being above Jura doesn't mean he could defeat Tempesta. Each of the Kyuukimon is probably way stronger than a Wizard Saint.

We all know that Deliora is at least Ur level, but he didn't make it into Kyuukimon, or even Tartarus Guild. That means everyone of the Kyuukimon is stronger than Ur, who was said to be Wizard Saint level, by the then Wizard Saint Jellal.

What's more important is that, as Lyon once put in Garuna arc, none of human spells work on Deliora except Iced Shell. The same goes with Doriate, and probably each member of Tartarus as well.

So I really don't see Laxus winning against Tempesta in the slightest. If all of the speculations above are true, defeating Tempesta would be harder than defeating 10 Jura's. He'd better flee the battle in the next chapter, if he still can move with lightning body when carrying four people.

By the way, the reason why Tartarus kills all Senate members, is probably because they're afraid of Etherion. All of the then-and-now Senate members know how to cast Etherion, so they are killed. The same goes with Jellal and Ultear.

Jellal has meteor body so he could flee, but Ultear has nothing now - so she is likely to be killed. As a result, Gray/Jellal/Meredy and everyone of FT would activate Nakama Bullshit Magic, which would be the only magic effective on demons.

Sorry for my bad English. :/
