Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Erza winked at Simon, whose magic was dark magic, suitable for saving people.

"Hahaha, Erza, you're still so naive. You think you can fight me, one of the Ten Wizard Saints?"

Suddenly, darkness enveloped them. Gerald reached out to grab Hugh, but his hand found nothing.

"Simon, I never thought you'd become so successful."

"I just saw you for who you really are."

"Celestial Magic - Seven Star Sword"

"Emperor Yan's Armor, Samadhi True Fire Sword".

Erza needed to don the Flame Emperor's Armor to wield the Samadhi True Fire Sword. The extreme heat of the Samadhi True Fire Sword was somewhat unbearable for Erza.

The flames easily burned away Gerald's torrent of magic. Seeing that his magic torrent had been broken, Gerald changed his strategy.

Chapter 279 Cultivation is not as good as cheating

"Boom boom boom"

Endless pillars of fire surrounded Erza. Under the intense heat, Jellal, who was moving at high speed using celestial magic, felt as if he had encountered a hot, spiky iron ball.

It's tricky everywhere, and it's also a hot potato.

Gerald gritted his teeth and unleashed his strongest magic, Purgatory Shatter.

"Equipment Change - Vajra Armor - Qilin Shield"

Hyuga Hoshino created this magical artifact by replicating his Susanoo shield.

"Boom"

Purgatory Shatter bombarded the Kirin Shield, causing Erza's shield to slam into the ground. The shield was pushed a few steps by Purgatory Shatter, and the Kirin Shield absorbed Purgatory Shatter. Erza gathered magic power and released a magical beam carrying part of the power of Purgatory Shatter.

Gerald quickly left, but his Vajra Armor provided strong defense but not enough speed. He used Celestial Magic: Meteor to accelerate again, attempting to flank and launch a sneak attack.

"Costume Change - Black Feather Armor - Dean Dai's Curse"

Erza caught up with Gerald's speed, kicking him with her size 37 heels. The heel, in particular, was ten centimeters high, and Gerald narrowly watched as it whizzed past his eyes.

Dark Paradise

Gerald crossed his arms and raised them high, his magic forming a virtual black hole that absorbed everything around him.

"The Devouring Beast"

Erza threw the Devourer, which absorbed the magic around Jellal. When the magic was exhausted, the spell naturally dissipated, and Jellal began to pant heavily.

Accelerating celestial magic requires not only magical power but also a strong physique, resulting in significant physical exertion.

"Let's settle this in one game, Gerald."

"As you wish, Erza! True Celestial Magic: Starfall."

Gerald leaned to one side, his left hand touching the ground downwards, while his right hand tilted upwards, unleashing a massive meteorite formed from his magic that fell from the sky.

"Changing Outfits: Moon Palace Fairy Robe - Yin Aura".

Gray shuddered, staring at Erza in disbelief at her powerful chill!

An endless chill suddenly spread, freezing the meteorite and shattering magic, instantly disintegrating Jellal's ultimate move.

Gerald lay on the magic crystal, utterly devastated. "Impossible, impossible, so many years of effort..."

When Gerald saw Erza's ethereal robes, it was as if he had found an excuse. "Right, your equipment, it must be your equipment."

"Why make excuses, Gerald?"

Hinata Hoshino returned from outside the tower and found it amusing to see Jellal making excuses. "Erza's equipment is indeed strong, but without deep magical support, it's just a tattered piece of clothing."

Why don't you talk about your magic? Celestial magic is a high-level magic, and there are several types of magic that can surpass your celestial magic.

Erza's magic is just a disguise spell, such common magic, how can they be compared?

Erza's costume-changing magic is a fairly common type of magic. It has a space for storing magical items, and when using the magic, it's simply a matter of switching equipment.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha... Yes, my magic, her magic!"

"Erza, what do you think we should do?"

"Let him be."

Hinata Hoshino looked at Erza, raising an eyebrow. Erza saw through Hinata Hoshino's thoughts, opened her mouth, but gave up trying to persuade him.

"Let's go!"

Erza was somewhat surprised by Hinata Hoshino's abrupt departure. Based on Erza's understanding of Hinata Hoshino, this was abnormal, very abnormal.

Hinata Hoshino flicked a fluorescent light at her fingertip, and it slowly flew toward Gerald.

"Uh! Ah!"

The magic power within Gerald vanished as if a floodgate had been opened, the magic crystal in the Tower of Paradise was replaced, and a tower constructed of magic crystal appeared within the Divine World.

Erza looked back at the intact Tower of Paradise, a deep sadness welling up inside her.

Not long after, the members of the Magic Council arrived at the Tower of Paradise. On the top floor of the Tower of Paradise, they found Jellal. However, due to a mishap, Jellal fell from the height and turned into Jellal-chan.

Of course, all of this can only be described as deserved punishment, and has nothing to do with Hyuga Hoshino.

Hugh, Woolley, Simon, and Miriam Anna decided to leave after spending some time with Hinata Hoshino and the others.

"Hoshino, I want to see fireworks!"

Erza looked at Hinata Hoshino, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness, which Erza seemed oblivious to. Lucy clicked her tongue in amazement, "She's fallen for him!"

Hinata Hoshino nodded. "Okay!"

Goodbye, Erza!

"Goodbye, Hugh, Woolley, Simon, and Miriam!"

Erza took out a large flag bearing the Fairy Tail mark and began waving it. Hyuga Hoshino snapped his fingers, and countless fireworks shot into the sky.

"First, you must never tell anyone anything that is detrimental to Fairy Tail in your lifetime."

Second, you are not allowed to contact past clients without authorization.

Third, even if our paths diverge, we must do our utmost to survive, never considering our own lives insignificant, and never forgetting the friends we deeply love.

Wherever I am, I will never forget you. And painful memories will become nourishment for tomorrow, making us stronger. Humanity possesses this strength to move forward resolutely, and I too will continue to move forward with unwavering determination.

Erza screamed at the departing four, her voice hoarse, while Miriam, the most sentimental of the four, began to shed tears.

Sure enough, Erza caught a cold the next day after getting emotional and coming into contact with seawater.

Erza no longer wore her armor, but instead wore casual clothes, revealing her gentle and vulnerable side.

Erza gripped Hinata Hoshino's neck tightly, and Hinata Hoshino could only stroke her hair and look at her tenderly.

"I want strawberry cake!"

"You haven't brushed your teeth yet!"

"No, no, I want to eat strawberry cake!"

Hyuga Hoshino rubbed her temples, feeling delirious from the fever. Natsu tried to say something, but Gray covered her mouth and dragged her away, afraid that Erza would recover and kill him to silence her.

"Lord Hoshino is mine! Erza... Ugh!"

Lucy covered Juvia's mouth and dragged her away; they were still at the Zade Hotel.

Lucy and Gray exchanged a glance, both seeing the relief in each other's eyes that they had escaped unscathed!

In anime like Naruto, the emphasis on strength for powerful individuals is mostly on three aspects: mind, body, and technique.

So all these years, Erza has been training her physique and swordsmanship right under Hyuga Hoshino's nose. However, Hyuga Hoshino knows that Erza's heart is still lacking.

Finally, the weakness has been addressed, but Erza, have you truly let go?

Hyuga Hoshino began to examine himself. The Sage Mode system is nothing more than three things: great wisdom, great merit, and great perseverance.

Hinata Hoshino admitted he didn't possess great wisdom, but he was more like a genius.

"Great merit!" Hyuga Hoshino looked at the merit behind him, and the opportunity condensed into a physical form.

Great perseverance? That's really not relevant. If you can lie down instead of standing, why take action if there's no benefit?

Why think so much? It's better to think about how to deal with Erza now.

"Okay, okay, time to brush your teeth."

"Hmph, I won't brush my teeth if you don't give me strawberry cake."

"Are you still a child, Erza?"

"I don't care, I don't care."

With a sigh, Hinata Hoshino took out a strawberry cake.

Using a fork, he took a small piece and held it to Erza's lips. Erza ate it and gave a satisfied smile.

"Good! Hehehe!"

"Can I brush my teeth now?"

Erza nodded. Hinata Hoshino dragged Erza to the restroom to wash up. He took some toothpaste, put it on a toothbrush, and started brushing Erza's teeth. Erza, however, swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste directly.

"Strawberry flavor. Delicious."

It took a lot of effort to brush Erza's teeth and wash her face.

Erza remained in a dazed state throughout the entire day, much to Hinata Hoshino's annoyance.

Wow, a plump butterfly!

"Holy crap, that thing is poisonous! It's a moth!"

"Da Xiji!"

"That's a dog!"

Lucy and the others followed Hinata Hoshino and suddenly felt a little fortunate, because Erza was really super troublesome right now!

Erza finally got tired and fell asleep in Hinata Hoshino's arms, leaving Hinata Hoshino shaking his head helplessly.
