Chapter 100: Mira's Transformation Armor
"Hiss, hiss, hiss... The 'witch' is really powerful!"
Juvia was surprised at Mira's quick reaction, but the magic in her hands did not stop.
"Well, what about this? Cut through the water!"
The attack of the water-gathered blade was fast and fierce, and it arrived in front of Mira in an instant, leaving her no time to use transformation magic. She could only cross her hands in front of her body to protect herself and passively take the blow.
However, her weak body could not withstand the sharp water blade with the added power of magic. With a series of 'swish' and 'hiss' sounds, the oncoming water blade cut off Mira's white hair, slashed her long skirt, and even cut long cuts on her arms.
"What a powerful magic..."
Even though Mira had been in Fairy Tail for several years and had rich experience, she had to admit that the enemy before her was the best human wizard at using water magic she had ever seen.
Magic is useless and close combat is at a disadvantage. At this time, Mira has to cheat.
While running to the side to avoid the water flow, he took out the magic item he bought from Kira before - a belt - from an unknown place on his body.
The belt was silver-white, the same color as Mira's hair, soft to the touch, and flexible in texture. It didn't feel like metal, but rather like it was made of the tendons or skin of some magical beast.
On the belt, there is also the logo of Hope House, which represents Kira's products. However, the most eye-catching thing is the black round badge in the center of the belt, which has Mira's portrait on it.
Mira quickly buckled it around her waist. The white leather belt just fit tightly around her slender waist. Obviously, it was specially tailored for her to fill her current combat defects.
"What did she take out?" Juvia saw the white belt in Mira's hand, but she couldn't figure out what it was used for or why she had to wear it.
Then, she heard the witch on the other side yell, "Transform!!!"
Juvia: “???”
Time seemed to stop for a second. Even the rain defied gravity and froze in the air, no longer falling. Then, a burst of energy burst out from Mira, blowing away the stagnant rain and the sharp water knives.
Holy light, wind, and surging magic power exploded on Mira at the same time, shocking Juvia so much that she forgot to continue attacking.
Just like a magic of changing clothes, the silver-white armor was directly worn on Mira, making her look majestic, imposing, elegant, sexy, and full of royal sister style. It was also a product that combined strength and aesthetics. In terms of style alone, it even surpassed Erza's armor.
Juvia was a little unsure, could this woman know the magic of changing clothes?
"Water Flow Saw!"
Throwing away the umbrella in her hand, Juvia spun at high speed after turning into water, controlling the tornado-like water to approach Mira, trying to use centrifugal force to cut the armor on Mira's body.
However, the silver-white armor made of an unknown material wrapped around Mira's entire body without any gaps, and it blocked the attacking water flow perfectly, firmly defending against this powerful magic.
Juvia was instantly shocked. "What?! Juvia's attack was completely useless?"
As Juvia exclaimed, Mira slowly raised her right hand and reached into the water tornado in front of her. The armor cracked under the guidance of her thoughts, making a "crackling" sound.
"What is this? What does she want?"
Then, Juvia's attention was attracted by the changes in the armor. The cracked part on the right arm of the armor revealed more than a dozen holes, and the tiny gun barrels were exposed from them.
A volley of bullets were fired, and instead of losing their power due to being wetted by water, they detonated very accurately within a second of being fired, causing violent turbulence in Juvia's body.
Boom! Water splashed everywhere!
After a while, Juvia, who had returned to her original form, distanced herself from Mira, and looked at the 'Armored Witch' in front of her with a pair of cold and vigilant eyes.
Although the explosion did not cause any harm to her due to her physical condition, the moment she touched the armor, she could clearly feel her magic power being sucked away!
Juvia felt that this was the reason why her magic was not as powerful as expected, so it did not cause any harm to Mira.
"Can that armor absorb magic power?"
"Ha!" Mira was happy that she had just successfully repelled the enemy. "The armor was made by Fairy Tail's top blacksmith, 'Sage' Kira, using energy absorbing stones and magic sealing stones. Didn't expect it?"
Although she didn't know why, Kira asked herself to say this every time she changed sides no matter who her opponent was, but she still did it.
"Forger? I thought Fairy Tail and Phantom's ruler were all wizards, I didn't expect such a person to exist."
Mira would not explain to her things like 'magician, part-time blacksmith, part-time magic merchant', but just raised her hand and fired silently. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her previous fighting state.
"Water flows with twin teeth!"
"Water Whip!"
"Water Flows and Rising Clouds"
Water attack after water attack came at Mira, but to little effect.
Even the magic that Juvia was most familiar with, after removing the slight resistance of passing through the air, could only splash tiny water on the armor, which was not as effective as a punch.
Every move failed and every attack was ineffective. Juvia's magic power gradually decreased under such frequent attacks.
"We can't go on like this. Juvia's attack is completely ineffective. If we delay any further, the mission will fail. Let's go and take that woman back first."
Thinking of this, Juvia planned to pull away, but how could Mira let her go so easily?
At this moment, she was more worried about the battle on Lucy's side.
"We can't let her go back to deal with Lucy. We have to at least hold her back!"
Although she has the armor given by Kira, Mira rarely uses it and is not very clear about the lethality of this armor, so she has no confidence in defeating the enemy. She can only mobilize her unstable magic power, hoping to make the armor exert more combat power.
Sensing the user's fighting will and the infusion of a large amount of magic power, the arms, shoulders, and gloves of the armor broke apart one after another, revealing gun barrels, just like Iron Man's firepower suit.
Whoosh—bang bang bang…
The firepower of this armor is very strong. If the opponent was not Juvia who can transform into an element, she would have been blown to pieces long ago.
Logically, since physical attacks are ineffective, the bullets should go straight through Juvia's body, but strangely, no matter where Juvia stands, every attack from Mira is guaranteed to explode next to her.
"Why does it keep detonating around Juvia?"
Juvia didn't know that this explosive bullet was specially made by Kira, with an automatic tracking function. It can only lock onto the target at the moment of firing. The target is designated by the armor, and the armor is connected to the wearer's thoughts, so it is equivalent to the armor user directly locking onto the target.
After a series of explosions, Mira stepped forward, ready to decide the outcome in close combat.
Back then, she was able to fight Erza on equal terms in hand-to-hand combat, and the two of them were the female versions of Natsu and Gray.
