Chapter 56 concludes, new cards with unclear meaning.
Boom!
The light exploded on Erza's body, and Dark Magician Girl was thrown back by the terrifying force of the Infernal Armor, spinning backward.
Just as she used her magic to steady herself, lifting the hem of her skirt, the dark, violent figure chased after her and came close.
Erza naturally wouldn't let the Dark Magician build up her power, so she made a decisive move to go all out and take down the Dark Magician Girl in the shortest amount of time!
"Purgatory: Rift!!"
Whoosh!!
The serrated greatsword was so fast that the Dark Magician Girl didn't have time to cast a defensive barrier and could only watch helplessly as the greatsword grew larger and larger in her field of vision.
Whoosh!
The shockwave unleashed by the greatsword tore through space, carving a deep and messy trench in the ground below.
"hat?"
Erza's expression changed slightly. The scene she expected—Dark Magician Girl being blasted apart—did not occur. Instead, it was replaced by four magician hats engraved with question marks.
And what she chopped up was only one of them!
"Don't forget me, Erza." Chase laughed as he uncovered the trap card he had previously laid.
【Trap Card - Magic Hat】: Triggered by an attack, summons four hats that can conceal the user's form to evade attacks (there is a risk of being attacked by the user's true form).
"I'm sorry, you're wrong, Erza!"
The Dark Magician Girl leaped out from the top hat on the far side, raising her staff high, which shone with a dazzling light surrounded by purple lightning.
"So take this, Dark Magic Blast!"
boom!
The magic energy ball exploded in mid-air, sending Erza flying backward before crashing heavily onto the ground below.
The magic was powerful, but Erza was not seriously injured—in that instant, she used the other half of her Vajra Armor shield to deflect most of the power.
However, the Dark Magician Girl had anticipated this situation, so the Explosive Blast she had just unleashed was merely a feint.
hum!
She waved her staff, and pink chains of magic immediately shot out, binding Erza tightly!
"Master! Now!"
The Dark Magician nodded slightly in approval, then took a step forward and swung his staff, now brimming with magical power, at the immobilized Erza.
"Dark Magician!"
A high-density energy sphere, far more powerful than Dark Magician Girl, hurtled out, distorting space in its path and drawing upon an unparalleled aura of destruction!
Boom!!!
The energy, compressed to its limit, exploded in an instant, sending out a blackish-purple beam that shot straight into the sky, causing the entire earth to tremble violently!
"Yes! We won!"
Before the terrifying commotion had completely subsided, the Dark Magician Girl floating in the air happily flashed a victory sign with her fingers.
"Watch out, you idiot!" Chase shouted a warning.
Unfortunately, we were still a step too late.
A surge of cyan lightning shot out from the depths of the thick smoke, piercing through half of the Dark Magician Girl's body!
"Oops, I was careless..."
The Dark Magician Girl scratched her head in a distressed manner, then vanished into countless specks of light, returning to her deck.
"That idiot, he just can't shake his careless habit." Chase sighed, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
The only remaining Dark Mage on the field twirled his staff, adopting a ready-to-fight stance, and looked at Erza, who was wearing a light purple sleeveless kimono and carrying a long dagger.
Just now, she used the "Eternal Garment" to break free from the Dark Magician Girl's chains and escape the Dark Magician!
Erza swung her halberd, lowered her body slightly, and unleashed a powerful burst of speed, charging straight toward the Dark Magician.
"Changing Outfits! Celebrity Armor!"
Just as the two were about to collide, she changed her clothes again and stomped the ground to forcefully change her trajectory, bypassing the dark magic and rushing straight towards Chess, who was at the back!
Was it heading towards its master?
The Dark Mage was initially surprised, then turned to look at Chase, who remained expressionless. After thinking for a moment, he finally gave up the idea of pursuing Chase and turned into points of light and dissipated.
After all, this isn't a life-or-death battle; let the master handle this final showdown himself...
"Come on, Chase! This is the final blow!!"
In her charging state, Erza unleashes the longsword of her Star Armor, releasing all her magical power to create an energy field of electricity and light: "Star - Sword of Light Particles!"
"Just what I wanted! Try and break through my defenses, Erza!"
Chase waved his hand and flipped over the last face-down card.
That is……
Divine Shield - Reflective Power!
"Drink it all!!!!" x2
Amidst the impassioned shouts of Chess and Erza, the photoelectric field and the holy light barrier collided like meteorites!
The roar echoed throughout the entire suburbs, and the resulting shockwave swept for a kilometer in an instant!
The intensely bright light was so blinding that the Fairy Tail onlookers could hardly open their eyes!
The raging energy storm lasted for a full minute.
As the violent shaking of the ground gradually subsided, Lucy looked up and was immediately terrified by the sight before her.
Inside the massive circular crater, which was over ten meters deep, shattered white specks of light danced in the air.
Chase and Erza looked at each other across the distance, their clothes tattered and their chests heaving as they both appeared to be panting heavily!
"What?! Chase's sacred shield has been broken?!"
"This is the first time I've seen the Divine Shield fail to work. Does that mean Erza won?"
"No! Look, Erza's Star Armor is shattered too!"
"This can't be real, right? They fought to this extent and they're still even? What kind of monsters are those two?!"
The Fairy Tail members started discussing amongst themselves and soon began arguing again.
"wrong……"
Mira the Demon stepped forward slowly, her gaze fixed on Chase and Erza in the distance. In an extremely calm tone, she said, "Chase won."
"Huh?!!!!"
The audience gasped in surprise.
Lucy, who loves to complain, noticed a blind spot: if it's just announcing the results, there's no need to receive the Soul of Satan, right...?
Wait, Chase won?
I won!!
Upon realizing this, Lucy's pretty face immediately lit up with undisguised joy, and those who had bet on Chase cheered loudly.
Happy and the others, on the other hand, looked dejected and extremely resentful.
They wanted to stand up and condemn Mira for so easily and hastily drawing conclusions, but when they saw that eerie demonic figure, they immediately lost their temper.
Finally, it was the most senior Makarov who provided the answer.
"Judging from the final result, Chase and Erza were indeed evenly matched, but don't forget that Erza's Star Armor itself has considerable resistance to light."
"And there is only one possibility to shatter Chase's divine protective shield: that is, to have magical power exceeding his."
"With this shift in power, the attribute advantage has eliminated the slight difference in magical power between the two, meaning that Chess's magical power is higher than Erza's."
"Although there are elemental advantages and disadvantages between mages, and these slight differences in magic power can be offset by combat experience, reaction speed, and strategies, that only applies to the life-or-death struggle between enemies."
"From the perspective of 'sparring,' Chase definitely won."
After saying that, Makarov sighed heavily.
I never imagined these two little ones would grow up to be this big...
This is a sigh of relief.
After hearing the chairman's detailed explanation, the last vestiges of hope in Happy and the others were completely shattered. They finally accepted reality and waved goodbye to their banknotes with tears in their eyes.
Lucy was overjoyed and ran up to Happy, waving the banknotes in her hand triumphantly.
Winning money doesn't really matter, it's just that the feeling of finally being able to vent my anger on this damn cat is just fantastic!
Chase, too, wore a broad smile, unable to conceal his joy.
Just now, he was incredibly lucky to get a card from Erza, who was giving it her all.
It was a monster card, and a low-level one at that, but its value was comparable to that of the god card Osiris the Sky Dragon in some respects!
Its name is: [The Sealed One's Right Arm]!
