Chapter 223: The Second Round of Confrontation
Erza and Jura were one in front and one behind, one attacking and one defending. The long sword and the rock each controlled the entire field. It was obviously the first time for the two to work together, but they cooperated unexpectedly well, with precise intervals between offense and defense, and their grasp of timing was impeccable.
Natsu and Gray were the vanguards, attacking from two directions with ice and fire magic, Leon and Yi Ye followed closely, and the four of them served as the backup for Erza's attack. Once the magic was cast, it was powerful and impressive.
The magic of ice and fire charged forward, and on the other side, Yi Ye inhaled a special fragrance, and his body swelled up, turning into a three-meter-tall, muscular giant.
"The scent of power!"
Seeing this scene, Lucy silently complained in the back: "Although it looks amazing, why do I feel a little disgusting..."
As she spoke, she drew the whip from her waist and followed the others, rushing forward together.
Including Lucy, the others had to act according to circumstances in this round. Lian's air magic, Ivan's snow magic, and Xueli's humanoid attack, although not strong, could also serve as a distraction and cover.
Their purpose is to protect Xiang from getting close to 'Nirvana', and then use his magic 'Ancient Book' to find a way to cancel 'Nirvana'!
“Aren’t you going to do anything?” Gerald walked up to Brian and said, “They won’t be able to hold out for much longer!”
Brian didn't answer, but just watched it all quietly.
In the second battle, the opponents changed.
The first scene that appears next is the most spectacular magic duel on the battlefield!
"Fire Dragon's... Wing Attack!"
"Flowing Earth!"
When the high-temperature flames met the flowing earth, it was calmer than entering the sea. Although in the future the temperature of Natsu's flames will be high enough to melt stronger rocks, now, when facing an enemy for the first time, Natsu will always be defeated first, and can only make adjustments after becoming familiar with the opponent's magic.
puff!
Using earth to put out fire is an ancient method like using water. With just a slight sound, the flame disappears completely, leaving only a faint white smoke that slowly dissipates in the airflow caused by the movement of the earth.
Natsu refused to admit defeat and increased his magic output. His Fire Dragon Slayer Magic once again showed its power: "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!!"
The magic power of his left and right hands combined into one, the red flame became stronger and hotter, breaking through the encirclement of the flowing earth like a whirlwind and whizzing towards the enemy.
However, Dark Night, who was dozing off on the flying carpet, suddenly stood in front of the flames.
The scorching flames that could burn everything suddenly turned 90 degrees three meters in front of him and flew in the other direction, creating a big hole in the ground and leaving behind black scorched earth.
Natsu was confused by the uncontrolled flames: "What's going on? Magic can't hit it?"
"Natsu! Leave the earth magic to us, you go help others!"
"hateful!"
Although Natsu didn't want to give up his opponent, the screams of others attracted his attention , so he had to run behind him.
Gray shouted, then put his fists in front of him: "Ice, Lancers!"
Beside him, Leon did the same thing: "Ice Creation... Ice Tiger, Ice Ape, Ice Dragon!"
Swish, swish, swish!! Rub, rub, rub!!
The three ice-made monsters, combined with countless ice weapons, formed dense, layered ice attacks, which covered the people on the opposite side.
On the left, there is mud all over the ground, surging forward; on the right, there is ice all over the sky, rushing away. It is both a confrontation between ice and soil, as well as a collision between hard and soft.
Facing thousands of ice weapons and three fierce and fierce ice beasts, He Aite began to take it seriously: "You... are not rich enough, so you are not strong enough!"
Gray laughed and complained: "You guy...if Kira were here, he would definitely agree with your point of view!"
He Aite smiled and said, "Really? It seems that there are sober people in the Guild of Light too!"
"Yeah!" Gray continued, "Then he'll beat you up again because you're not rich enough, so you're not strong enough!"
The ice sword and the flowing earth were evenly matched, and after another agitation, countless gray-yellow mud and transparent ice chips fell from the air. The mud rolled more and more, and became smaller and smaller; while the ice crystals rolled less and less, and became larger and larger as they fell!
"If he can really do it, it must be because he is very rich!" He Aite was obviously interested in Kira mentioned by Gray and wanted to chat with him more.
But this sentence made Gray stunned for a moment: "Damn it! I can't even refute it..."
The Ice Sword and the Flowing Earth were evenly matched. Gray's distraction immediately gave He Ait a chance to find his flaw. He moved his mind and two streams of flowing earth shot out from left and right, hitting Gray.
“Oh no!”
Fortunately, the ice dragon that was watching closely on the side opened its huge mouth in time and swallowed the two flowing earth attacks into its stomach and crushed them into pieces!
"What are you doing?" Leon shouted, "Focus on the battle!"
Gray refused to give in and shouted, "I don't need you to remind me!"
On the other side, Angel controlled Gemini to transform into Gray, quietly walked behind Erza, intending to launch a sneak attack, but as soon as he raised his hands, he was cut in half by a slash.
Jamie couldn't bear the force, and with a bang, the smoke exploded and he returned to his original appearance.
"What?!"
The sneak attack failed, and Angel was shocked: "How did you know that?"
"Idiot! I'm not stupid!" Erza rolled her eyes at him, "How could the real Gray be cut in half by a sword?"
Angel felt that his worldview was challenged, and he looked at Erza with doubt in his eyes: "But you should know whether it will be cut in half after you chop it, right? So you didn't even know whether he was real or fake, and you just slashed him with your sword? Aren't you companions?"
Erza swung her sword to cut off the flowing earth from the side, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Well... Anyway, it's good as long as I cut it right!"
Angel: “…”
clang!
A loud and clear sound rang in Angel's ears, instantly bringing her back to reality from her thoughts.
"Don't be stunned!" Lisa kicked away the white sword that was about to hit Angel, leaving a handsome back view to her teammate, "This is the 'Fairy Queen'! Not the same opponent we met before!"
He knew that Erza used weapons to fight, and it would be disadvantageous for him to fight with her, so he simply took his teammates to hunt other people and left this most difficult enemy to Cobra.
Only Cobra can deal with Erza temporarily here!
Sound magic allowed him to eavesdrop on Erza's thoughts and actions, and to prepare in advance and avoid Erza's attacks, as easily as the pirate next door's "Observation Haki".
As soon as the two men started fighting, one was attacking and the other was dodging. The back and forth made this close combat look more like dancing than fighting.
Soon, Erza realized the strength of her opponent and immediately changed her fighting style: "Let me try out the swordsmanship skills I just learned from Disper..."
With determination in his mind, he slightly hid the sharpness of the two swords in his hands. When he moved out again, his speed was three points faster and his power was seven points stronger!
Ever since Erza learned a billion points of swordsmanship skills from Disper, she has made new breakthroughs in swordsmanship, greatly increased her overall strength, and become more adept at close combat.
The sudden change in the opponent's swordplay style shocked Cobra: "So fast! So powerful! I've never seen such a fast and powerful swordplay!"
The slashing moves are fast, and the sword wind is fierce! If you are not careful, you may hit the bones!
Cobra was not careless and responded carefully, listening carefully to Erza's thoughts. Cold sweat kept coming out of his head while dodging: "Even if I heard Erza's voice, I might not have time to react, and her swordsmanship is also very strange!"
"The movement of swinging the sword is so pure! It's as if she didn't think about it, just relied on muscle memory, and decided the direction and strength of the attack a second before the move. There are not many complicated thoughts in her mind. No wonder even Brian looks up to her..."
Because Erza's experience was slightly different, the development of the battle at this time was also different from the original plot.
Erza was not bitten by the poisonous snake Chuberios, but instead suppressed Cobra and was not at a disadvantage at all!
