Chapter 55 All in! Lucy's Choice
Chapter 55 All in! Lucy's Choice
The Spear of Exorcism possesses the ability to eliminate all evil forces, making it an absolute counter to the summoning of demons.
The demon's summons, which were struck head-on, immediately dissipated.
"not good!"
Erza's pupils contracted sharply. In the instant the demon's summons disappeared, she caught a glimpse of a faint smile playing on the corners of the other's lips.
The next second, a pitch-black magic circle appeared beneath their feet!
Highly compressed demonic lightning descended from the sky, striking the earth and exploding into a deafening surge of lightning!
When the commotion that had thrilled Lucy and the others gradually subsided and the dust settled...
Erza stood on the scorched ground, panting slightly. Her armor was shattered, revealing a black undergarment that accentuated her figure.
"Chase, you really aren't willing to suffer even the slightest loss..."
Erza sighed deeply and slowly walked towards Chess.
Although the Thunder Emperor's Armor was shattered, she was able to withstand the demonic lightning strikes and her condition was not greatly affected.
Even though Chase has temporarily lost several cards, he still retains a lot of magic power within him.
In this confrontation, it can be said that neither of them gained much advantage over the other.
"Erza, I think we should call this end with the warm-up," Chase said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, two cards appeared at his fingertips: one featuring Dark Magician Girl, and the other a magic card with a floating gem.
In fact, if it were just a normal sparring match, it would have ended here, but his ultimate goal has not yet been achieved: to get a new card from Erza!
"You seem quite eager to fight. In that case, I won't say anything more."
Erza, who had intended to stop there, smiled calmly. Then, the magic power in her body rose exponentially, and a hellish aura surged out wildly!
This... this is just a warm-up?!
Lucy vaguely heard their conversation, and looking at the devastated battlefield before her, her lips twitched.
"Hey! Lucy! It might be a little dangerous if you keep standing there."
Mira's voice came from far behind.
Lucy turned around and was immediately startled.
Unbeknownst to them, the area was now deserted, and even the guild leader had retreated to an area several hundred meters away!
Realizing what had happened, Lucy ran for her life and finally made it safely back to the main group.
At this moment, everyone was in high spirits, arguing fiercely about who was stronger, Chase or Erza.
"Erza! Go for it! Beat Chase down!"
"Chase! Beat Erza up and show her what a real man is!"
"While Chase is certainly very manly, Erza will definitely win in the end!"
"Love! Erza is the strongest!!"
Lucy glanced in surprise at Happy, who was cheering Erza on with all his might in the crowd.
In her memory, Habib rarely participated in such heated debates; he usually slyly hid in the back and watched the show.
Why are you taking sides so firmly this time?
Even among guildmates, Happy clearly still supports Erza, who's also in the strongest team...
Lucy came to a conclusion in her mind.
"Hey Lucy, wanna play a round?" Cana asked with a smile as she sat on the barrel.
Lucy glanced over and, good heavens, these people had actually started a betting pool to see who would win between Chase and Erza!
Seeing the evenly matched bets on both sides, Lucy seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Um, could you tell me who Happy bet on?"
"Happy, he spent 10,000 gold on Erza."
Lucy: "..."
I thought this dead cat was generating electricity for his teammates, but it turns out he was just worried about his own money!
After a moment's thought, Lucy took out her last 20,000 J and decisively bet it on Chase.
There was no other reason; she was simply vengeful and wanted to get back the money she had been swindled out of by Happy, with interest!
then……
"Go, Chess! You have to win for all my savings!!"
She also joined the frantic shouting.
On the field.
"I can hear them even from this far away. Those guys are as noisy as ever." Erza shook her head helplessly.
"Isn't this just the right amount of entertainment for the upcoming battle?" Chase laughed.
"Be very careful, Chess. I have no control over what will happen next."
Erza's expression turned serious, and her materialized magic erupted, causing her long crimson hair and light blue skirt to sway violently.
A magic circle containing immense magical power appeared, and then Erza's eyes gradually turned crimson and became ferocious.
Dark, heavy armor was revealed in the storm, and serrated heavy blades crashed down, causing the ground to tremble continuously.
That was said to possess earth-shattering power with a single, casual strike, ranking among the top three of all Erza's armors...
Armor of Purgatory!
"That's how you really enjoy a fight!"
Chase's lips curled into a smile as he flicked a card from his fingertip into the air. "My turn, summon Dark Magician Girl!"
"Ta-da~"
The Dark Magician Girl makes a glamorous entrance with an adorable pose.
"Then……"
"Activate the Spell Card, Sage's Jewel!"
【Sage's Gem】: A magic card that allows you to specially (with zero magic power) summon Dark Magician when Dark Magician Girl is summoned.
Unlike the Holy Light Sword, the Sage's Gem is a chain-type magic card, and in terms of mana consumption alone, it is lower than directly summoning the Dark Magician.
Battles between mages of the same level are often unpredictable, and multiple steps can change the entire course of the battle.
Therefore, Chase usually chooses to summon directly rather than greedily using that little bit of magic.
But right now, since it's a friendly sparring session with Erza, we should save our breath as much as possible.
A golden pentagram magic circle was drawn, and the dark magic girl reached out to touch the crystal-clear gem floating on it.
Suddenly, a burst of light appeared, and a dark mage in a purple robe stepped out.
"Oh wow, it's been a long time, Mr. Dark Magician."
Erza, clad in her Infernal Armor, even spoke with arrogance.
"Long time no see, Erza." The Dark Magician's words were still few and indifferent.
"Wow! Erza, you look terrifying!"
The Dark Magician Girl noticed the restless magical fluctuations emanating from the other party.
"So you guys... need to be careful!"
Erza simply raised her serrated greatsword and swung it lightly, creating a gust of wind as sharp as a blade.
"Hmph, even if it's Erza, I won't show her any mercy!"
The Dark Magician Girl held up a pink magic screen, blocking the sharp hurricane.
The master and apprentice exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's meaning.
The dark mage gripped the staff that crackled with purple lightning with both hands and began to chant a powerful spell.
Dark Magician Girl summoned her staff, plopped down on it, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Erza to buy time for her master.
