A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Mira swung her magic wrist with force, Erza took a half step back to dodge, and with a flick of her right shoulder, her sword slashed upwards. Mira kicked her away, Erza leaped up, and swords rained down. Mira rose into the air to dodge, her dark magic surging and erupting like a tidal wave. Erza changed her armor to block...

Anticipation, dodging; offense, defense; using both hands and feet, a fusion of brute force and skill, magic and physical techniques showcasing their brilliance in battle, the two, guided by their will, engage in a series of climactic battles.

"Soul Destroyer!"

"Heavenly Wheel, the Blazing Sword!"

Unlike the two locked in fierce combat, the outcome of the Black and White team's battle made Elfman and Kana realize that time was running out. They didn't have the energy to continue fighting with irrelevant people here. Their base might have already been raided, and their team might be the next to be decided.

Elfman exited Beastmaster mode: "Stop fighting! Continuing this won't benefit anyone!"

Cana recalled her card: "That's right! Mira, Erza, you can't kill them like this... cough cough, this won't determine a winner! Let's win the match!"

"Honestly, Kira is such a bad influence, he's corrupted me!"

Chapter 157 Laxus: Do you know how long ten minutes is?!

The demonic claw and the giant sword collided forcefully in mid-air. With another burst of force, the two figures jumped backward simultaneously, pausing their nearly ten-minute warm-up. Yes, it was just a warm-up.

Erza changed back into her original armor: "That's all for today."

Mira also dispelled the Satanic spirit and returned to her original form: "Good, good, really, Erza always starts fighting at the drop of a hat, that's not good."

You're no different...

The three people present thought this, but they all tacitly refrained from saying it aloud.

After some discussion, the four quickly reached an agreement, with the two members of the green team even abandoning Wakaba, who hadn't returned for so long, and heading back to the center of the canyon.

Then they saw Laxus, who was still trapped there.

"Hey Laxus, you're still stuck?"

Ten minutes have passed. He's been trapped for a full ten minutes. For the first time, ten minutes felt like an eternity—a full 600 seconds! Heaven knows how he survived those 600 seconds!

"Mira, you woman, it's all because of you that Fred..."

"What are you talking about? It's all for the competition, don't take this to heart."

After leaving behind a seemingly gentle but subtly provocative remark, Mira led Kana back into the Yellow Team's mid lane.

"This road is clearly different from the one we just entered; it must be the correct passage."

The current Yellow Team: Laxus is trapped; Loki is half-injured and on his way back; Levy, Ridge, and Chico are practically negligible in terms of combat power.

The current Green Team: Mira and Cana are not at full strength after one battle; Jet and Wakaba were killed by the Red Team; Filde, having written many magic formulas, also consumed a lot of magic power to maintain the magic circle - although in the end only Laxus was trapped, it was not his fault, but because he was the only one from the Yellow Team who attacked.

Currently, the Green Team still holds the advantage. As long as Filip continues to do his job as guard, they are destined to win.

"The Green Team should be winning soon..."

"Poor Laxus, forced to dress as a woman yesterday, and now trapped here..."

The current Red Team: Erza and Elfman have fought once and are the main attackers, currently re-exploring the passage; the other three are defending the Crystal Tower, and with Abbagrim there, no one can break through her petrifying eyes;

The current Blue Team: Gray has fought once and is on his way back, while the other four remain unchanged and are still guarding the Crystal Tower.

On the surface, the Blue Team has the numerical advantage, but after the exciting duel between Erza and Mira, the audience is now full of appreciation and confidence in Erza.

During halftime, the exciting magical duel was suddenly paused, leaving the audience with a lingering sense of unease. They kept telling themselves: the contestants are on their way, which is necessary for the even more thrilling final battle to come!

Thousands of viewers stared intently at the moving figures on the screen, and two minutes passed in that instant.

In the middle lane of the Yellow Team, Mira and Cana came on strong, and Levy, Ridge, and Kiko were no match for them. The moment they saw the two, it was clear that Laxus had not been able to secure the victory.

The three struggled for a moment, barely managing to hold on until Rocky returned to help, but ultimately, four against two was not enough to turn the tide, so they chose to surrender. Mira and Cana lived up to expectations and won their second victory.

"The outcome of the Yellow and Green teams is decided. Congratulations to the Green team for their victory."

With a magical teleportation, the ten returned. Mira and Kana high-fived each other and discussed where to go for drinks to celebrate, while Jet and Wakaba were skillfully carried off to rest by their companions.

Only Fred looked miserable, because no matter whether he won or lost this game, he would ultimately be a loser: "Laxus, let me explain..."

Laxus wouldn't listen, and stormed off with a flick of her cloak. Filde could only follow, tears welling in her eyes, looking like a woman caught red-handed cheating.

In the canyon, in the middle lane of the blue team, the final battle between the two teams is about to begin.

Are the remaining two teams about to start fighting?

"I'm rooting for Erza!"

Erza and Elfman made no attempt to hide, swaggering straight in and meeting the Blue Team members head-on. The five of them stood in a neat row.

Even though there are only two teams left, the Blue Team still hasn't chosen to attack. Who knows if someone is hiding on the side and will launch a surprise attack as soon as they leave? Anyway, they've held on until now, so there's no need to rush.

In those two minutes, Gray had returned to defense. Although the battle with Biguslo had taken its toll, it had only fueled his fighting spirit.

When Erza and Elfman arrived, the Blue Team breathed a sigh of relief: thankfully, the opposing team wasn't all present.

How can we lose when it's five against two?

Oh, if Woren doesn't count as a fighter, and Macao is only half a fighter—three and a half against two, how can they lose?

With only half the fighting strength, Macao confidently stepped forward, ready to use his flames to start the battle; otherwise, he might not have a chance to show his skills in the following battle.

Just as he expected, the purple flames had barely appeared in Macao's hand when Erza slashed at him with her sword.

"The Black Feather Sword!"

"Ugh—!"

Erza changed her clothes very quickly, and her attack was even faster. So fast that Mystogan and Gray didn't even have time to react before they saw Marcao being sent flying by a single sword strike.

Yes, Erza slapped him away. She used the front of her sword, not to kill him, but the damage was enough. Marcao was knocked unconscious. Seeing that things were going badly, Warren hid in the bushes, trembling, and dared not show himself.

After clearing out the weaker enemies, Erza continued to stare at the three opposite her. Her serious and cold gaze instantly extinguished the fighting spirit that had just been ignited deep within Gray's heart.

"Erza, I think...we might be able to...decid the outcome in another way!"

"No need! You all go ahead and attack," Erza said after thinking for a moment, "You can all come at me at once!"

There are five people left on the field, three against two, or more precisely, it will be a two-on-two battle, because they didn't count Lucy in their fighting strength.

"A real man fights to the death!"

Elfman roared, connecting with the Beast King's soul. His body instantly transformed into a colossal beast, its eyes blazing with fury, its fangs bared, its face contorted in a grotesque grimace, and its entire body covered in wild animal fur. He confronted his old rival, Gray.

Both of them had fought once before, but after these two minutes of rest, they had recovered some of their strength and were now fighting with great vigor.

"Ice Forge, Freeze the Lancers!"

Dozens of ice spears shot out from Gray's hand, wreathed in chilling aura, drawing various arcs in the air and shooting towards Elfman from all directions.

Compared to Gray's flashy ice magic, Elfman's attacks were much simpler, all of them embodying brute force. They basically consisted of three moves: a loud shout, a charge, and a punch, relying on a solid body for defense and brute wrist strength for attack.

Boom boom boom...

Fists were thrown again and again, scattering ice blocks all over the ground. The two fought and ran, gradually moving away from the battlefield.

At that moment, Lucy, hiding in the bushes, discovered a blind spot: "Mistgang is holding off Erza, Gray is holding off Elfman, and Warren is guarding this side. If I go and raid their base, maybe I'll have a chance?!"

Lucy felt increasingly confident that she had a chance. She glanced up at Erza, then slowly crawled forward through the grass...

On the other side, Mystogan also faced off against Erza.

"I never expected to fight you under these circumstances..."

His voice was deep and resonant, and even at this moment, he maintained the demeanor and politeness befitting a prince.

"Yes, I didn't expect that either..."

You will face an enemy with that face again.

Erza's face darkened. Although they were different people, they had the same face. The figure of Mystogan gradually overlapped with Jellal's, which made her feel a little irritated.

I wonder how Jellal is doing. He was thrown into the sea by Kira. Is he still alive? If he is, has he been freed from Zeref's curse? If he has, how will he face all the evil deeds he has committed?

All those evil deeds... all those evil deeds, what should be done...?

Ah!! All those evil deeds!!!

Erza grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally donned her armor: "Change outfit! Fairy Armor!"

Fairy Armor, Erza's strongest armor.

Unlike other armors, this fairy armor completely covered her body, concealing her perfect curves. The armor was predominantly pink, with matching decorations on her ears, a white cloak hanging from her back, and paired with twin swords. She also had enormous red and white wings on her shoulders.

Kira frowned slightly as he looked at Erza on the screen. Although he had also created this armor, he didn't really like it. It wasn't because it was too bulky, but because the cute style of the armor clashed too much with Erza's personality. Although he thought the contrast was quite nice, it was more suitable for someone like a Sailor Moon character, not Erza.

In the arena, seeing Erza change her clothes, the other two were not to be outdone.

Mystergan drew his magic wand from behind him, gripped it tightly, and prepared to unleash his power.

The next instant, the two figures lunged forward simultaneously, their weapons clashing together with a clang.

Chapter 158: When magic proves ineffective, the only option is to become a Berserker.

Erza stomped her foot hard, her twin swords whipping up a long gust of wind, then crossed in front of her and slashed upwards diagonally to the left and right.

Mistgang also lunged forward to meet the attack head-on, and even wearing flip-flops, he possessed speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

As he attacked, his black cloak billowed wildly behind him, making a whooshing sound. His right arm, wrapped in bandages, was raised, and his 1.8-meter-tall frame swung his nearly two-meter-long magic wand down mercilessly at the pretty face in front of him!

His fighting style is not like that of a mage, but more like that of a warrior.

The magic wand struck the point where the two swords crossed, and the three weapons collided in mid-air, creating a fleeting spark. A whirlwind swirled outwards from the point of impact, and the two were locked in a fierce struggle, neither gaining the upper hand.

The two men made contact and immediately retreated, each jumping back before launching another attack!

"Skyscraper!"

A calm, deep voice echoed softly. Erza's eyes suddenly flickered, and she saw an unusual pillar of light rise from beneath her feet. An unimaginable attack annihilated most of the canyon. Then, the light was devoured by darkness, and the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness.

A chilling, sinister magic filled the battlefield. A bloodthirsty behemoth tore through the darkness. The beast's face was ferocious, and it roared with its gaping maw. Its sharp teeth and claws were unlike anything ever seen before. In the alternate dimension behind it, countless bloodthirsty beasts could be vaguely seen. Their eyes glowed with a terrifying red light, and they seemed to be frantically rushing towards this rift.

"This kind of magical beast? No... it's an illusion!"

Erza closed her eyes and focused her mind. In the next instant, she changed her clothes, slashed horizontally with her sword, and the space shattered along with the monster. Looking around, she saw that it was indeed the same battlefield. She held two swords in her hands, and sword marks were everywhere.

"Impressive! You discovered the flaw so quickly. You're truly remarkable!" Mystergan praised his opponent.
