Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: Erza's Strength

Erza and Jackal arrived at the side of Underworld Island. Without exchanging words, the battle immediately erupted.

"Requip: Heavens Wheel Armor!"

A scarlet magic circle opened, and Erza had already equipped the armor forged from blades, hovering in the sky, surrounded by hundreds of sharp swords!

"A long-range attack?"

Jackal laughed maniacally, quickly transforming into his Demon Form, his body swelling into a giant, golden, upright wolf.

His sharp claws pierced the ground, then he flipped over a large area of dirt. The sky-full of dust turned into cannonballs, and upon collision with the blades, a terrifying explosion occurred, with flames sweeping up everywhere!

Erza's gaze sharpened. She instantly used Requip: Flight Armor, turning into a streak of light that burst out from the sea of fire. Her sword swung out countless afterimages, enveloping Jackal.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A fierce explosion sounded. Jackal was instantly slashed with dozens of wounds, blood spurting from his entire body.

However, his Curse Magic instantly activated. The sharp sword in Erza's hand exploded, and the splashing blood also exploded, blasting both of them away.

Jackal had resistance to explosions. Aside from looking slightly disheveled, he was not seriously injured.

He looked at the destroyed armor and laughed triumphantly, "That armor was the only thing that made your speed hard to catch. What tricks do you have left now?"

"I have plenty of armor. Let me show you the flame-resistant armor."

Erza snorted, using Requip: Flame Emperor Armor. With the fiery red armor and the Flame Sword, her long hair was tied into twin tails, giving her the appearance of a young girl.

Jackal said lightly, "My Curse Magic explosion isn't fire. What good is flame resistance?"

Erza was stunned, feeling that he had a point. Although explosions generate fire, the two effects are separate.

But it didn't matter. Besides the Dragon Knight, it seemed no other armor could withstand the explosions... Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind—perhaps there was one set that could!

"Requip: poison dragon slayer armor!"

Erza equipped a magnificent purple armor, holding the Purple Dragon Slayer Blade. This was the armor forged by the Number One Dragon Slayer General using his own Dragon Scales, possessing not only the Dragon Slayer Attribute but also the defense of Dragon Scales.

She turned into a purple streak and rushed toward Jackal. The Dragon Slayer Blade instantly slashed out, but Jackal immediately grabbed it. The Curse Magic exploded, and flames shot into the sky.

Jackal laughed heartily, "You really don't learn your lesson! No matter how much armor you have, it's useless!"

"Is that so?"

The smoke and dust cleared. Erza was completely unharmed, and the Dragon Slayer Blade was as good as new.

"How is that possible?"

Jackal was shocked. His Curse Magic was useless?

Erza said confidently, "Although your Curse Magic is powerful, it can't blast apart Dragon Scales. You should look at your hand!"

"My hand?"

Jackal subconsciously lowered his head to look, only to see his hand had turned purple. The intense corrosiveness was melting his sharp claws into drops of poison liquid.

Erza said calmly, "My armor contains Poison Dragon Power. Even a demon cannot resist it!"

Jackal's arm couldn't help but tremble. The strong poison was eroding upward along his hand. Gritting his teeth, he severed his own arm, letting it drop to the ground.

He looked at Erza, his fighting spirit undiminished: "Again!"

Erza looked at his miserable state and shook her head, saying, "Considering you gave us the antidote back then, I'll spare you this time. Don't try to stop us again."

Jackal was slightly taken aback: "I didn't give it to you; you won it from me."

Erza didn't wait for him to continue, shed the poison dragon slayer armor, and turned to leave.

"Is this the style of your guild?"

A look of helplessness appeared on Jackal's face. He hadn't even managed to force out the Dragon Knight that END mentioned. It seemed he truly was no match for the Fairy Queen.

"Sister Kyoka, it's your turn!"

Leaving that one sentence behind, his entire body dissolved into black smoke and vanished.

Erza sensed a powerful aura behind her, and her heart trembled. She abruptly turned around and saw a tall, green-haired woman approaching. Even before fighting, she could feel the terrifying threat the woman posed.

Her expression calm, she demanded, "Who are you?"

"Seilah Marge, that is my humble name."

Seilah Marge stepped forward, wearing a relaxed smile: "Indeed, to be able to defeat Jackal, you are truly the prey I desire most."

Erza Requipped into the Wind God Armor, held the Wind God Sword, and pointed it at the opponent: "If you view me as prey, you'll have to see if you have the ability to catch me."

As their eyes met, both simultaneously launched an attack. Two streaks of light instantly collided, sparking intense flames.

Erza controlled the Power of Wind, her figure agile and graceful, while Kyoka wildly swung her ten sharp claws like whips. The sword and claws created a terrifying tornado storm, destroying everything around them.

However, after only a few clashes, Erza's Wind God Armor was directly torn apart, and even the Wind God Sword snapped into two pieces.

Seilah Marge sneered, her figure flashing past, instantly appearing behind Erza.

Erza was slightly startled. Before she could react, she felt a heart-wrenching, intense pain, causing her to involuntarily fall to her knees and let out a shrill scream.

"What's happening? Why does it hurt so much?"

Even the slightest touch felt magnified dozens of times; even the palm holding the sword felt excruciating pain.

Seilah Marge smiled and said, "My ability is Enhancement. Your pain receptors have been amplified by me. Now, even a gentle breeze feels like blades."

"And I am also enhancing myself, growing stronger every second until the Enhancement kills me."

"Before that happens, you will be utterly slain by me!"

She fiercely swung her sharp claws. The earth was instantly torn apart, and a strong wind mixed with smoke and dust swept toward Erza.

Erza dared not delay, immediately Requipping into the Giant's Armor and leaping into the air. However, she was still struck by the violent wind. The intense pain felt like being sliced into a thousand pieces, and she couldn't help but scream and fall back to the ground.

"It seems you no longer have the strength to resist."

Seilah Marge chuckled softly, walked forward, reached out, grabbed Erza's neck, and lifted her up: "This is the END!"

"It's not over yet!"

Erza suddenly Requipped into the Robe of Purity, holding the demon blade benihana, and slashed out a lightning-fast strike. Seilah Marge hurriedly blocked with her hand and instantly retreated dozens of meters.

Seilah Marge was slightly surprised: "You can still stand up?"

"Bastard! Don't underestimate my will!"

Erza's eyes flashed with anger. Without hesitation, she activated the Dragon Knight. Her figure instantly vanished, and immediately afterward, a magic circle unfolded on the ground, from which a Metallic Giant Dragon roared forth.

The moment it appeared, the terrifying explosive momentum generated an endless gale, pushing Seilah Marge back over a hundred meters.

"Dragon Knight!"

Seilah Marge looked shocked. What terrifying magic power! Is this the power that END spoke of?

"Demon, feel true power!"

"Dragon Rider Bomb!"

Erza roared. The Dragon Knight's metallic scales opened up, and countless streaks of light bombs flew out, chasing Seilah Marge and bombarding her.

"Damn it!"

Seilah Marge moved at Supersonic Movement, continuously dodging the bombardment, but the Dragon Rider Bombs were too numerous and dense, and they had a tracking effect. After one misstep, she was immediately swallowed by the explosion, letting out a muffled groan of pain.

At this moment, the fight had turned into a one-sided beatdown. Erza, piloting the Dragon Knight, completely isolated Seilah Marge's Curse Magic attacks, using endless artillery fire for a blanket strike, with flames sweeping across the entire land.
