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

Erza's strength deserves Laxus's respect.

Moreover, compared to beating up Natsu, the developments on Mystogan's side are definitely more intriguing.

"Here you go, Erza!"

Faced with Mystergan's questioning, Mavis did not explain, but instead threw the magic crystal in her hand to him.

Seeing Mebius's actions, Mistgang's heart skipped a beat.

When he saw Mavis take out the Magic Crystal and the Ten Commandments Spear at the same time, he had a guess in his mind.

At this point, Mebbes's actions were no different from making it explicit.

"You have a way to reverse it, right?"

After Mystergang carefully caught the magic crystal, Mavis revealed his true intentions.

Mavis reclaimed Edolas Erza's magic crystal simply because she didn't want Faust to have the opportunity to reclaim it.

But after meeting Prince Gerald, this unexpected gain found a new purpose.

That's right, Mavis has her eye on Gerald's method of reversing [Soul Anima].

Upon hearing Mavis's words, Gerald understood the implied meaning.

After a slight hesitation, Mistgang finally nodded.

Although Mebbs has not yet gained his trust.

But the mere fact that the other party is willing to return Erza is enough to earn the reward they deserve.

Mavis smiled happily, squinted her eyes, and gestured for Mr. Gang to proceed.

Mr. Gang didn't hesitate for long and immediately started operating the machine.

Magic in his hands transformed into layers of nested magic circles.

The magic circles meshed together like gears, forming a system with a relatively low energy level.

But it's a reversal magic that can work on [Soul Anima].

While operating in Mistergang, Mebbes remained outwardly calm.

But in reality, the demon's demonic eye has been activated to its fullest potential.

At the same time, her "segmentation thinking" and "high-speed thinking" are running at overclock, processing the captured information at high speed.

Then compare it with the [Soul Anima] recorded in the crystal in your hand.

Quickly establish the working principle of reversal magic.

As Mystergan moved, the crimson magic crystal began to glow with a soft light.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and then the magic crystal disintegrated into magic power, which reconstructed a human figure.

"Witch!!"

The figure had barely appeared when, before even realizing the changes in the surroundings, it caught sight of Mavis's annoying face.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he roared at Mavis's nickname as he charged at her.

Mystergan instinctively reached out and pulled him back.

But the power enhanced by that armor was unexpectedly strong.

Instead of stopping the enraged Erza, he was pulled so hard he almost fell to the ground.

Mavis, the one being targeted, remained completely unfazed.

Including the previous two encounters, this is the third time that Mavis and Erza have clashed.

But Erza has never gained an advantage, neither before nor this time.

This time, Mavis didn't even move; she simply opened the [Dawn] magic barrier.

Erza slammed her fist heavily against the barrier.

Aside from a dull thud, the barrier remained completely undamaged.

In response, Mavis extended a finger across the barrier and gently tapped Erza's fist.

The power of the spell gathered at his fingertips.

Good luck, Erza!

An ominous, dark green cursed power surged from Mavis's fingers.

In an instant, it transformed into malicious tentacles, which quickly covered Erza's entire body.

Realizing she had been hit, Erza immediately prepared to create distance.

However, the terrain here has been damaged by the battles of Mirajane and Fried, as well as by the destruction caused by Mavis's sudden appearance from the sky.

There were rubble and pits everywhere.

Erza, who jumped backward, landed quite by chance on a round rock.

The stone rolled immediately under Erza's weight.

Erza felt her foot slip and instantly lose her balance.

After a dizzying spin, Erza crashed heavily to the ground.

The back of his head slammed heavily against a sharp rock.

If she hadn't been wearing a helmet, she could have been declared dead in an accident.

"Wow!"

Seeing Erza's miserable state, Mavis sighed.

This was her first time using Pandora's Box.

Because the Miracle Emblems had been used up in large quantities beforehand, this attack was only for testing purposes.

Therefore, Mebius did not deplete much of his miracle reserves.

The results were surprisingly good.

Moreover, this attempt also revealed a blind spot for Mebbes.

The power of Pandora's Box is related to the Miracle Emblems consumed by Mavis.

It is also related to the surrounding environment.

Just like here, because it's chaotic enough, the probability of accidents is not low.

Therefore, it will be easier to interfere with Pandora's Box.

On the other hand, the minor accident did not quell Erza's resentment.

She struggled to her feet and immediately prepared to attack Mavis again.

But a familiar yet unfamiliar voice called out her name:

"Erza!"

Chapter 345: The Nose

"Hmm?...Excuse me, please continue!"

Hearing someone call her name, Aslant Erza instinctively responded.

But then she realized they weren't calling her, and hurriedly waved her hands in a panic.

But Aslant Erza's reaction also caught Erza Knightworth's attention.

She was stunned when she saw someone who looked exactly like her.

"Erza!"

The voice appeared again, and Erza Knightworth turned to look.

A familiar figure appeared before them.

Although the other person has grown up since the last time they met.

But the unique hair color and the marks on his face still allowed her to recognize him.

"Geralt!"

"He really is Geralt... Waaaaah!"

Upon hearing this name, Natsu, who was standing at attention to the side, was the first to react.

At this moment, he pointed at Mystogan with an expression that said, "I knew it," but before he could finish speaking, Erza covered his mouth.

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

Upon recognizing Mystogan, Erza Knightworth immediately knelt down and bowed to him.

Mystergan—or rather, Gerald—stepped forward and reached out to support her shoulder.

He gently but firmly pulled her up from her kneeling position.

"No need for formalities, Erza, this is not Edolas."

His gaze swept over the numerous scratches on her full armor knight's outfit, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

"You've suffered."

Erza Knightworth opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head and remained silent.

Just as the two reunited, Mavis quietly took a half step back, and with a flick of her finger, the familiar silently disappeared into the shadows.

A faint smile played on her lips; she had fully recorded the inversion magic structure that Mystergan had just cast.

Having achieved her goal, Mavis had no interest in staying to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a romantic relationship).

After determining his location, Mebius took a step toward the entrance to Magnolia.

"stop!

Your Highness, you must not let her go.

She is a notorious criminal wanted by the kingdom and Extania!

Seeing that Mavis was about to leave, Erza Knightworth, who was reporting intelligence to Mystergan, became anxious.

He immediately stopped Mavis and, in the shortest possible terms, explained Mavis's "identity".

Erza Knightworth's words caused Mystergan's expression to change.

Mystergan didn't care about being wanted by the kingdom; after all, strictly speaking, he was now more wanted than the kingdom itself.

Therefore, being wanted by the kingdom does not necessarily mean you are a bad person.

But Extania’s attitude has special significance for Mystergan.

After being rescued by Pansa Lili when he was a child, he was taken to Extania.

There, young Mystgang received much care from the Supermen.

He had always had a good impression of Extania.

Being wanted by Extania carries significant weight for Mystergan.

"Wow~"

Laxus, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, raised an eyebrow.

He was not interested in the so-called identity of a major sinner.

But to be wanted by a kingdom, and by a power that sounds at least on par with the kingdom.

The fact that she's still at large at least shows that this mysterious woman is quite powerful.

Mavis stopped and turned to look at Erza and Mystergan.

He casually summoned two spears and showed them to the other side, then raised an eyebrow at Erza and said:

"Erza-chan, do I need to remind you?"

You "sent" me weapons twice in a row; you were with Faust.

That's probably the same treatment I'm receiving now!

"you......"
