Red Lightning is the 473rd chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

The battle between Laxus and Wahl finally comes to a close with Laxus, after surviving a barrage of vicious assaults, managing to trick Wahl into dispelling the Magical Barrier Particles in his system via forcing the Machias to dispel a Jutsu Shiki barrier he set up. With Wahl's systems now in complete disarray, Laxus defeats Wahl with "lightning that goes beyond lightning": Mercury Fulminate: Red Lightning.

Summary

Wahl attacks Laxus with his railgun

Wahl immediately takes advantage of Laxus' health attack and unleashes a barrage of assaults, including gunfire, missiles, an Anti-Matter Laser and even a railgun. However, as the railgun fires an electrical blast, Laxus eats the lightning and regains much of his lost stamina, which allows Laxus to launch a counterattack that Wahl did not foresee. The Machias then proclaims yet again that he is immune to anything Laxus could possibly use, and fires a series of bullets at the Dragon Slayer that he easily dodges. Wahl is yet again hit, and as ninety seconds have passed and Laxus is not dead, Wahl encounters an error in his system, but as soon as Laxus starts to approach him, he falls to the ground, the Magical Barrier Particles in his system taking effect yet again. Noting that Laxus' body has reached its limit and he can no longer move, Wahl declares his victory and prepares to fire an Etherion blast from his palm, but before the blast can be unleashed, Laxus manages to set up a Jutsu Shiki barrier that forces Wahl to momentarily desist.

Momentarily taken aback, Wahl reminds Laxus that Jutsu Shiki are ineffective as well, and nullifies the magical particles within the barrier; in doing so, Wahl also unknowingly eliminates the particles ravaging Laxus' organs. Realizing that he's been had by Laxus, Wahl's personality settings encounter an error, shifting him back and forth between his heartless and impulsive personalities. Laxus then charges at Wahl, prepared to take him down in spite of Wahl's constant claims of his lightning being ineffective. When his fist connects, Laxus produces a special kind of dark-red lightning that Wahl cannot analyze.

Red Lightning

Laxus defeats Wahl

Laxus then thinks back to when Fairy Tail visited Ryuzetsu Land. While there, Laxus recalls his conversation with Mavis about his great-grandfather, Yuri, and how they look similar and act similar. Laxus pointed out that Yuri and he are vastly different in terms of how they personify themselves, however, he also expressed continuing regret over his actions at the Battle of Fairy Tail. Mavis then told him that it never stopped him from protecting his friends, which she noted made him and Yuri exactly alike. His recollection ending, Laxus breaks through Wahl's lightning-immune chassis with his Mercury Fulminate: Red Lightning, a spell that he crafted as an homage to his great-grandfather.
