Chapter 545 Erza vs. Steel Mecha
Erza and the Steel Mecha were fighting on the street, and in order to hit the opponent's vital points, she kept closing the distance when attacking, so the distance between the two was definitely not seven steps.
The mecha's bullets were indeed accurate, fast, and dense, but after a round of bombing, Erza was unharmed.
When the smoke cleared, a huge white shield appeared between Erza and the steel mecha.
That is Erza's most powerful armor, the shield of Diamond Armor!
The shield was tall, big and thick, and it blocked Erza's not-so-tall body tightly. The shield was made of the hardest material, and it could easily block the bullets fired by the steel mecha in front of it.
Guarded...
Erza sighed inwardly, and at the same time controlled the magic power to drive the sword wings. Dozens of long swords were driven as fast as lightning with arms. Only a series of dense clinking sounds were heard, and the hundreds of guns on the back of the mecha were all broken in the middle like tofu, fell to the ground, and became a pile of useless scrap metal.
In the first round of battle, Erza had the upper hand.
But the iron mecha did not react at all, as if it did not feel sorry for the hundreds of guns at all. Instead, it raised the sharp blade on its right arm and lightly chopped at the diamond shield in front of it.
Swish——!
这一回，轮到它轻松破防了。
The seemingly ordinary sharp blade did not encounter any resistance when it was swung, nor did it make any sound. It cut Erza's armor, which was said to have the strongest defense, in half easily as if it were made of paper.
When the upper part slowly slid down along the cut, Erza's expression of disbelief was finally revealed from behind the armor.
"This... this is..." Erza's eyes widened, unable to believe what she saw, "He actually cut through the Diamond Armor with just one move?! How is this possible?!"
As far as she could remember, only Disper had this ability. Kurnuki might have it too, but she had never seen it.
However, whether it was Disper or Kurnuki, they relied on swordsmanship and their own strength; while the guy in front of him relied on weapons.
After exchanging equipment, Erza and the steel mecha tacitly planned to start the second move.
This time, the distance between the two was closer, and the steel mecha took the initiative. The thrusters under its feet erupted instantly, and its right arm swung towards Erza at the same time.
In her eyes, a thin blade cut through space and came towards her; in her ears, the sound of the air tearing was extremely clear. Erza quickly recovered from her shock, and with a sudden force of her legs, she jumped back with her high-heeled boots on the ground.
Puff——!
Erza dodged the sharp blade, but did not dodge the invisible wind blade wrapped around the blade. The sharp airflow was like an emotionless killer, ruthlessly cutting off a strand of Erza's long hair. Several strands of bright red hair floated in the wind and were soon torn into several pieces.
My hair!!
Erza roared in her heart, her eyes widened with anger, and she gripped the two swords tighter in her hands! But she didn't shout out, because the attack of the steel mecha was not over yet!
When the mecha's right arm swung, the claws in its left arm burst out at the same time, with five claws opened. The sharp metal blades also effortlessly penetrated the shield remaining on the ground and grabbed towards Erza's face.
Even though the wizards of 'Fairy Tail' are always cheating, and Erza is the best among them, if they are hit by this move, they will still die. Even if it's just rubbed on the face, they will be disfigured at least!
But cheating needs no explanation, and bursting with strength needs even less explanation.
Just as the sharp claws were about to pierce Erza's bright eyes, two long swords suddenly attacked from the left and right, forcibly pierced through the five claws and clamped her tightly!
Erza's hands have always been white, clean, slender and strong, almost as described in the books, where an ounce more flesh makes her look fat, and an ounce less flesh makes her look thin. Kira has always found this incredible, because she has been practicing swordplay at the same frequency for ten years, but the calluses on her palms are fewer than those of Rei, who holds a pen all year round!
Erza's hands were still steady, after all, she was holding a sword, and if she didn't hold the sword steadily, she would lose her life. In the weightlifting competitions held by the guild in previous years, she even had the experience of holding a nearly two-meter-high heavy sword and swinging it freely. Kira still has the photos of that time.
But this pair of white and steady hands could not stop shaking when facing the explosive iron claw. It was not because of how fast and heavy the initial velocity of the jet was, but because the iron claw was remotely controlled!
The Iron Claw has its own energy core. After leaving the body, the steel mecha can control it to move at will, just like Erza controls her weapon.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Metal rubs against metal, machinery and manpower wrestle with each other, and the picture is suddenly frozen in a tense atmosphere.
But that’s not all!
The iron mecha followed Erza like sticky candy, and the two thrusters on its legs exploded again. The super high speed brought by the mechanical rotation allowed it to catch up with Erza who was flying backwards in just a few seconds.
Click, click…
All the magazines on the shoulders were opened, and thirty micro bullets were fired at the same time, but they did not hit the front head-on, but dispersed, moving up, down, left, and right in an unimaginable trajectory.
These small bullets can obviously also be controlled on the go.
Thirty tracing bullets, like thirty fireballs, dragged jumping tongues of fire, surrounding Erza from top to bottom and left to right, blocking all escape routes.
"hateful……"
Erza held the iron claw with both hands of the sword, but her eyes and ears were looking around. She sensed the danger the moment the bullet was fired, and immediately tapped the ground with both feet to steady her body. Then she exerted force suddenly, and with a loud shout, she threw the iron claw in her hand towards the oncoming bullet.
Boom boom boom…
The bullet hit the iron claw and it exploded directly, causing a violent shock in the air and at the same time blowing a gust of wind in all directions.
The metallic sound was heard again in the wind.
Ding ding dong dong…
Erza and the Iron Mecha fought and retreated at an astonishing speed. The mechanical people watching could only see two afterimages and the flying, chopped-off weapons.
Swords, guns, axes, hammers... Erza changed the weapons in her hands several times, but when facing the ordinary and dull blade of the mecha in front of her, it always broke with one cut. Even if she finally found the flaw and hit the opponent, the force of the sword would be offset by the shield on the opponent.
Sharp weapons, a hard shield, and magic thrusters to ensure speed. This type of opponent is something Erza has never encountered before .
In terms of equipment, Erza is clearly at a disadvantage; but when it comes to fighting style, the Iron Mecha cannot catch up with Erza.
Even though this steel mecha has been implanted with intelligent programs and is a thinking, learning mechanical life, it lacks combat experience after all. In addition, Silver and Val themselves are not experts in physical skills, so it is too early for them to defeat Erza.
The two sides fought each other for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, the Iron Mecha's combat skills became more and more sophisticated, thanks to the learning program in its body and the superb combat skills learned from Erza. Erza also got used to the opponent's combat mode, and the transformation of offense, defense and speed became more handy.
While becoming stronger, we are faced with another problem.
The difficulty with the steel mecha is the energy drive. Even though Val has received help from Silver, research in this area has never made a breakthrough. The advanced combat soldiers, the 'Four Horsemen', consume much more energy in battle than the fat puppet.
Erza's problem is the consumption of physical strength, magic power, and mental strength, as well as the rapid reduction of weapons.
Of course, only ten minutes had passed and she was still in good condition, but as a human being, this aspect was definitely not comparable to that of a machine. Even the 'Fairy Queen' couldn't withstand being beaten like this all the time.
What's more, she had no chance to make mistakes. Once she was hit by the opponent's blade, she would either die or be injured!
The current situation is that it is evenly matched between the two sides, with Erza at a slight disadvantage.
Before they knew it, the battle had lasted for thirty minutes. During this time, each man and his mecha changed clothes many times and their weapons were replaced more than ten times, but in the end they were all declared scrapped under the opponent's fierce attack.
clang!!!
Accompanied by a metallic vibration that almost made one's head dizzy, Erza and the steel mecha simultaneously distanced themselves from each other.
The red figure retreated violently, leaving behind a few drops of sweat in the wind, which were illuminated by the sunlight and looked crystal clear.
At this time, Erza was already out of breath, her chest rising and falling greatly with her breathing. The constantly consumed magic power, physical strength and weapons were like three mountains pressing on her heart, making her feel endless pressure.
Three minutes ago, she had already put on the Pure Heart Robe and the red and black double blades that abandoned defense and focused on attack, but she still failed to win the battle quickly.
On the other side, the steel mecha, after a long period of equipment bombardment, had its shield damaged, the double swords under its feet scrapped, and bullets fired over and over again until it ran out of ammunition and food. Its iron claws shattered into pieces, and even the blade that could cut through iron like mud was cut off by Erza in one blow after finding the right opportunity and flaw.
At this moment, the only weapons on its body were the two long swords inlaid with magic stones in its hands.
In the ruins of metal and iron, Erza wiped the dust off her face and looked at the steel mecha opposite with an extremely serious look in her eyes.
"Next, it's the last move!!"
