Type-Moon: Shinji Matou Also Wants to Be the Protagonist

As it parried Mavis's attack, the "Rose Sword" also came into contact with Mavis's weapon.

The "softening" effect has been successfully applied.

But to his surprise, the weapon in his hand suddenly softened.

Mavis was completely unaffected, and her skills smoothly switched from gunplay to whip techniques.

The soft Ten Commandments Gun seemed to transform into a poisonous dragon in Mavis's hands.

Hugh Boyle even thought that Mavis was more skilled with the whip than with the gun.

The spearhead, propelled by the whip tip effect, easily broke the speed of sound, piercing straight into Hugh Boy's chest with a breathtaking explosion.

"Clang!"

Another crisp sound rang out as the silver blade, which had traversed space, intercepted Mavis's attack.

Having failed in his first attack, Mavis did not linger and instantly sheathed his gun and adjusted his position.

They narrowly avoided a projectile that came from afar.

Mebbs immediately launched the next round of attacks.

The clanging of metal echoed across the wilderness like a storm.

The men besieging Mebius grew increasingly alarmed as the battle raged on.

Mavis was powerful, and they were mentally prepared before they arrived.

However, they believed that with so many people attacking together, the difference in martial arts skills could be completely eliminated.

But Mebius's performance at this moment proved them wrong.

Even when facing multiple attackers, Mavis performed with more ease than when she faced Erza alone.

While engaging in offensive and defensive battles with the three of them, she even had the mind to calculate the trajectory of the bullets.

Occasionally, they would subtly guide the trajectory of the bullets fired by the soldiers, causing them to retaliate.

Or perhaps they would occasionally seize an opportunity to break through Erza and Hugh Boy's obstruction, bypass the Metal Knight's blockade, and launch an attack on Hughes, the weakest link in their team, forcing Erza and Hugh Boy to disrupt their rhythm.

And for some reason, Bairo's poison mist attack had little effect on Mebis.

As a result, a strange stalemate appeared on the battlefield.

Keep in mind that they outnumbered the enemy, and the fact that a stalemate had already indicated their defeat.

Chapter 335: Dragon Shadow

Erza suffered the greatest blow.

Last time, he lost to Mavis and even had the Ten Commandments spear taken from him.

Erza has always considered this a disgrace and is constantly thinking about how to avenge this humiliation.

After her injuries had healed somewhat, she put herself through grueling training.

The terrifying intensity of the training even made Bairo worry that Erza might train herself to death.

When King Faust arranged for her to participate in this operation.

Erza agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, Erza received a brand new set of weapons.

The two magical equipment pieces, one offensive and one defensive, elevated Erza's strength to a whole new level.

But when she actually faced Mebbs, reality dealt her another heavy blow.

In terms of technique, Mavis used the Ten Commandments Gun even better than she did.

Even with the added strength of the armor, she was unable to suppress Mavis in terms of physical strength.

What puzzled Erza the most was...

According to the people of Extania, the weapon 【Sky-Piercing Slash】has never been used since its creation.

Therefore, its intelligence should not be known to the outside world.

But the more Erza fought, the more certain she became that Mavis had seen this ability before.

That's why I was able to handle her attacks with ease from the very beginning.

Erza even began to wonder if she had been tricked by Exania.

Indeed, that's exactly what Erza thought.

However, what Mavis had seen was not the [Sky-Piercing Slash], but a similar ability.

When Suzuki and Fuu Sayan were sparring in Wanshou Square, Mavis witnessed Fuu Sayan's application of spatial teleportation abilities, as well as Suzuki's imaginative and unconventional countermeasures.

On the battlefield of the Abyss Bloodbath, there are countless demons and devils who possess the ability to jump between dimensions.

Therefore, Mavis has no shortage of experience in dealing with space-based abilities.

After adapting a few times, Mavis figured out a battle strategy that was more suitable for his own situation.

If Faust concentrates all resources together.

If we were to fully enhance Erza and create an ultimate powerhouse, Mavis would be somewhat wary.

But what if we disperse our resources and then send people to besiege us?

Dealing with an attack was Mebbes's comfort zone.

Mavis's combat skills are five-tenths due to her diligent study and practice over the years.

The remaining 95 points are all war memories left behind by the devil's isotope.

The Abyss Bloodbath is a veritable meat grinder and a slaughterhouse of living beings.

On that vast battlefield stretching for countless miles, the density and frequency of battles were frighteningly high.

Every participant in the Abyss Bloodbath is simultaneously fighting against everyone within a certain area.

Therefore, there is no better place to gain experience in dealing with sieges than in the Abyss Bloodbath.

The attack by Erza and the others was far less fierce than the attacks by the demons and monsters on the battlefield.

During the battle with them, Mavis could even feel her understanding of the war memories gradually deepening.

She became increasingly adept at dealing with attacks from Erza and the others.

As for Bairo's poisonous fog attack.

Although the transformation of non-action did not completely replicate the various characteristics of the devil's memory.

But Mavis still had some devilish blood in her veins.

High-ranking demons typically possess the ability to resist toxins.

Mebius's bloodline is a bit lacking, so he can't be immune, but his extremely high poison resistance is something that Bairo's venom can't overcome.

The situation is gradually becoming clearer.

If Faust doesn't make any further moves, Mebbes will be the victor in this conflict.

"Useless trash! Get out of the way... I'll do it myself!"

Seeing that the group could no longer hold back Mavis, they let Mavis take over the task of dealing with the warriors who were blocking the sky.

Faust, who had been observing from behind the scenes, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Indeed, this operation involves the interests of multiple parties.

Therefore, King Faust personally led the expedition.

In order to eliminate Mebius, Faust extracted a great deal of benefits from the Transcendent.

A portion of the knowledge consumed by Erza and others.

If Erza and the others alone could be used to completely destroy Mavis.

Then Faust could hide his trump card, which had consumed most of his resources. Rather than thinking of using it on Mebis, Faust wanted to use it in the final battle to rule the world—Extania.

But the fighting prowess that Mebis displayed was truly unexpected.

If this drags on any longer, it will wait until Mebis manages to break through the outer blockade.

Thanks to her wing magic, the operation was essentially a failure.

Having learned from this ambush experience, there will be no more opportunities to seize such a good chance in the future.

So even though he was extremely unwilling, Faust had no choice but to take action.

"Boom~"

With a deafening roar, a dark cloud descended from the higher sky.

Arcs of electricity flashed within the dark clouds, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder.

Amidst the flashing electric light, a massive, menacing black shadow loomed in and out of view in the clouds.

A terrifying surge of magical energy poured down along with the shadows cast by the dark clouds.

An immense pressure descended upon everyone, regardless of friend or foe.

The first to succumb were the Transcendent Ones, a magical race born with magical powers.

They are naturally more sensitive to magic than ordinary humans, and therefore experience greater pressure.

The transcendents fainted under the pressure of the magic.

The elite warriors of the Demon Squad, who could only fly thanks to the Transcendent Ones, suddenly plummeted from the sky like dumplings.

Fortunately, they were all wearing excellent magical armor, so they weren't killed by the fall.

Even though they didn't die from the fall, the warriors were still pale and had difficulty breathing under the heavy magical pressure.

Even the two captains, Hughes and Hugh Boy, were under immense pressure at this moment.

Seventy percent of their strength comes from their magical equipment.

His own physical strength is probably not even comparable to that of some elite warriors.

Erza had often scolded them for relying too much on magical items.

Lili also advised them to improve their own strength so that they could better utilize the abilities of magical items.

But none of them took it to heart at the time.

The two of them now truly regret it. If they can survive this time, they will definitely resume training.

Of all those present, only Mavis and Erza could stand there without changing their expressions.

Upon hearing Faust's order, Erza's face beneath her helmet was filled with resentment.

But the order has already been given, and as a subordinate, one can only carry it out.

She kept a watchful eye on Mavis, covering the retreat of the soldiers behind her.

Mavis, however, was not paying attention to Erza's reaction at that moment.

Faust was targeting Mavis, so she was under the heaviest magical pressure.

The sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and the monster hidden in the clouds finally revealed itself.

That's... a dragon!

Chapter 336: Forbidden Weapon

Unlike the majestic and powerful dragons that Mebius had in mind.

This "dragon" is made entirely of steel and has a rather strange shape.

The steel wings behind it appear rather small compared to its size.

Judging by appearance alone, it undoubtedly lacks majesty compared to a real dragon.

But the surging magic power emanating from its body made up for this.

This is the forbidden weapon of war for the human kingdom—the [Dragon Rider].

Taking advantage of this opportunity to extort Extania, Faust completed the construction of the [Dragon Rider] ahead of schedule.

"Greengrass, your days of recklessness are over!"

Faust's voice came from inside the metal dragon.
