Chapter 54 Beware of Laxus Falling from the Sky
Chapter 54 Beware of Laxus Falling from the Sky
There is no time to mourn the damaged blades and armor.
Next up were countless flying swords hovering behind Erza!
Erza waved her hand, and all the flying swords of the Heavenly Wheel Armor immediately activated, transforming into streaks of light that struck the cursed dragon in the air.
Before being riddled with holes by the flying sword, the cursed dragon flapped its wings and shattered into golden specks of light.
The golden light avoided the dense streams of sword light and converged towards the higher sky, forming a huge magic circle in dark tones.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and rolling black clouds obscured the sunlight from the entire area, bringing a sense of oppressive unease.
It's sizzling!
A thunderous roar erupted, and a streak of lightning crashed down, revealing the towering figure of the skeletal demon.
It's a six-star high-attack monster, the summons of the devil!
The moment Erza recognized the demon's summons, her breath caught in her throat, and her expression turned serious.
The magic circle lit up, and the curvaceous body was just covered by the light of the costume change when it was interrupted by the attack launched by the demon's summons.
In the blink of an eye, the oppressive sky roared as a thick, blinding bolt of lightning struck down.
They were old rivals, and Erza reacted just as quickly, hurriedly dodging to the side.
Boom!
The lightning struck precisely where she was standing, and the dense current exploded on the spot, blasting out a charred crater full of cracks!
And this is just the beginning!
Boom boom boom boom!!
The relentless barrage of lightning forced Erza to concentrate all her energy on dodging. Her speed was like a whirlwind, so much so that to the Fairy Tail members watching from afar, it presented the following scene:
The Fairy Queen, like a dazzling crimson stream of light, flashed and weaved through the thunderbolts, causing lightning to roar, the earth to crack and shatter, and dust to rise wherever she went!
"Wow, that's amazing! Is this Chesgo Erza's true power?!"
Lucy was breathing heavily, speechless with shock at the apocalyptic scene before her.
Not only her, but even some of the core members who had joined Fairy Tail earlier than her stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, clearly not expecting that Chess and Erza would get serious to this extent!
As for veteran members of guilds like Macao and Kana...
Yes, they had the foresight to have quietly crept to the back of the crowd, protecting Lucy and the other newbies in front of them.
If you keep standing there, you'll get struck by lightning!
"Everyone, retreat! Be careful of Laxus falling from the sky!"
Makarov, who was standing at the very front, turned around, raised a finger, and smiled as he reminded him.
Then, in the next second, a crimson gust of wind swept past him, followed by a bolt of lightning that fell from his fingertips.
Boom!
Makarov became Black Makarov.
"Damn it, Chase! Watch your language!!" Makarov instantly flew into a rage, hurling insults at Chase in the distance.
"Ara ara." The cunning Mira next to her laughed heartily.
Deep within the lightning strike zone, when she was forced into a corner with nowhere to retreat, Erza finally seized an opening and completed the construction of the magic circle.
"Change clothes!"
Boom!
Lightning exploded above her head, the leaping arcs of electricity blocked by the expanded cyan barrier.
Erza's distinctive long, scarlet braids swayed in the hurricane as she wore the Thunder Emperor's Armor and gripped the Thunder Emperor's Spear tightly in both hands.
After a few stylish spins, the spear tip, crackling with cyan lightning, was aimed at the demon's summons.
"Azure Thunder - Lightning Cannon!"
It's sizzling!
The lightning, compressed to its limit, condensed into an incredibly dazzling magical beam that pierced through the void and struck directly at the demon's summons.
The demon, also possessing lightning resistance, raised its arm and, using its own lightning power, forcibly altered the trajectory of the Azure Lightning Cannon.
boom!!!
The Azure Lightning Cannon made a ninety-degree turn, pierced through the distant mountain peaks, and then dissipated into the horizon.
"Well done."
Erza smiled and offered her praise without reservation.
The demon nodded slightly in response to the summons, then raised its arms high, a raging wind swirling around it as it began to accumulate a high concentration of magical power.
He's chanting his ultimate move—Demonic Thunder Descent!
"If you were to execute this move, my Thunder Emperor Armor wouldn't be able to completely withstand it."
Erza breathed a sigh of relief, and the glow of the transformation magic once again illuminated her body.
Just then, the ground in front of them suddenly trembled violently, and countless cracks spread in all directions like a spider web.
Deep within the shattered rocks, a colossal warrior slowly rose to its feet, blocking out the sunlight and casting a deep and oppressive shadow.
Erza was taken aback, her gaze piercing through the thin layer of smoke and dust, landing on Chess in the distance.
Beneath his feet, a black vortex of trap cards took shape, allowing him to devote more energy to summoning card monsters!
'That guy's casting speed for trap cards is definitely much faster than before...'
I don't know what kind of trap it is.
Before Erza could guess, a sharp gust of wind pressed down on her.
The giant rock soldier drew the giant rock sword from its shoulder and slashed down fiercely at the incredibly tiny Erza!
boom!!!
The colossal soldier unleashed its overwhelming power without reservation, smashing the ground to pieces and kicking up thick clouds of dust.
"That was a really heavy blow. Did Chase succeed?" Gray said in a deep voice, arms crossed.
No one knows when, but he ran away from home again after only putting on his clothes for a short time, leaving him with only a pair of short underwear to barely keep him afloat.
"Grey, the clothes."
"What?! When did the rock giant's slashes become so powerful?!"
"...You took those off yourself, didn't you?!"
Ignoring the antics of Gray and Lucy, Makarov gazed intently into the depths of the smoke and dust, answering his earlier question.
"No, Erza used that power against herself."
Just as he had analyzed, the rock giant's expression changed drastically.
It was supposed to be the one to initiate the attack, but its huge stone sword, along with its right arm, suddenly developed cracks and exploded on the spot with a hum!
Broken rocks kept falling, smashing against half of the shield of the Vajra Armor.
Arcs of electricity crackled behind the shield, her long, scarlet hair fluttered, and Erza's sharp eyes were revealed.
The giant rock soldier's shock was fleeting; with his remaining left arm gripping the greatsword in reverse, he unleashed a violent gust of wind, slashing at Erza from left to right.
Erza's eyes narrowed slightly. Seizing the opportunity, she crouched down and turned her head to the side the instant the slash arrived.
A giant sword forged from rock swept past her heroic face, and the following sword energy sliced off a strand of her long, crimson hair.
Erza steadied herself, her right hand glowing with the white light of her weapon, and her counterattack began almost simultaneously.
A flash of cold light crushed the floating pebbles into powder.
Erza let out a low shout and hurled the Demon-Slaying Spear from the Giant Armor with tremendous force. It pierced through the rock giant with unstoppable momentum, and its power remained undiminished. It shot out of the air with a gust of wind and struck the Demon's Summoning from behind!
