Chapter 43 Erza vs Laxus (Part 2)
🕑 Added 2025-10-31 23:10:50 +0000 UTCMagnolia Town, Cathedral!
In the bright cathedral, Laxus in his overcoat and Erza in her silver-white armor stood facing each other from a distance.
"Laxus, for such a pointless goal, you actually disregarded the lives of Magnolia Town's residents!"
"Pointless goal? You should thank me, Erza. Once I take control of the guild, I will build Fairy Tail into the strongest guild!"
"Master would never hand the guild over to someone like you!"
"Isn't that what I'm making him do right now? If you can stop me, then go ahead and try!"
Laxus raised his head and spoke mockingly to Erza.
Seeing that further talk was useless, Erza directly channeled her magical power.
"Requip!"
The next second, a dazzling light erupted around Erza.
When the light dissipated, the silver-white armor on Erza had vanished, replaced by black, feather-like armor resembling that of a demon.
"Your pointless goal will be shattered by me!"
With that, Erza moved her feet, and her body shot towards Laxus like an arrow from a bow.
Erza's speed was extremely fast. In just the blink of an eye, she closed in on Laxus.
Without any hesitation, Erza swung the black sword that matched her black feather armor, slashing at Laxus through the air.
Whoosh-
At that moment, a sword gleam flashed through the air.
If it were an ordinary mage, they would have already fallen to Erza's sword.
But Laxus was clearly no ordinary mage.
Just as Erza's sword was about to hit Laxus, Laxus moved his feet, his body leaping directly into the air, avoiding Erza's strike.
“Hmph, is that all you've got?”
Laxus, now airborne, looked down at Erza and spoke mockingly.
As he spoke, Laxus violently swung his hand towards Erza.
"Lightning Blast!"
A golden lightning bolt charged directly at Erza.
"Requip!"
The moment Laxus attacked, Erza channeled her magical power again.
Immediately, the black feather armor on her body was replaced by silver-white Lightning Empress Armor.
As the golden lightning swept towards her, Erza planted the lightning spear in her hand onto the ground.
Bzzzt-
A defensive magic circle instantly appeared on the spear.
When the golden lightning got close to Erza, the magic circle on the lightning spear absorbed all of the golden lightning.
"Pretty good, Erza!"
Seeing Erza block his strike so easily, a look of fighting spirit appeared on Laxus's face.
"Let's warm up a bit before facing Kenichi!"
As he spoke, Laxus had already begun gathering golden lightning in his palm.
With that, he swung his hand grandly.
"Lightning Spear!"
Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt-
A golden lightning bolt, shaped like a spear, charged towards Erza at an astonishing speed.
"Lightning Spear!"
Facing this strike from Laxus, Erza didn't dare neglect it in the slightest.
She thrust the lightning spear in her hand through the air.
Whoosh-
A blue lightning bolt swept out from the tip of the spear.
The next second, the blue lightning and the golden lightning collided.
Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt-
At that moment, sounds of lightning crackling echoed through the hall.
Dazzling lightning also filled the entire hall.
At this time, Kenichi, on the rooftop of a tall building outside the cathedral, was watching the battle between Erza and Laxus inside through the cathedral windows.
In the original work, Erza and Laxus only had a brief encounter and never truly settled the score.
Kenichi also really wanted to see who was stronger between Erza and Laxus.
As Erza and Laxus continuously used their magic, the system's mechanical prompts continuously sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +9]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +8]
…
Although Erza and Laxus hadn't yet used their full strength.
The Magic Power attribute values dropped by the system when they released magic were already higher than those dropped during Natsu and Gray's fights.
After all, both Erza and Laxus possessed magical power not inferior to that of a Wizard Saint.
Under Kenichi's watchful eye, the dazzling lightning produced by the clash of the two lightning attacks in the cathedral had dissipated.
The figures of Erza and Laxus reappeared in Kenichi's field of view.
“Oh, I never thought you could also use Lightning Magic. Then you should know the rules of battle between mages of the same attribute, right?”
Hearing Laxus's question, Erza responded: "Of course. In a battle between mages of the same attribute, it comes down to the size of their magical power and their combat experience!"
As she spoke, Erza had already charged at Laxus.
Before Erza could get close, Laxus, his fist condensed with explosive lightning, punched the ground.
"Lightning Fist!"
The moment Laxus's fist hit the ground, a golden arc of electricity tore through the ground and, as if alive, charged towards Erza.
‘This is the move he used against Kenichi?!’
Seeing the arc of electricity sweeping towards her, Erza's pretty face changed immediately, and she recalled the scene from Laxus's fight with Kenichi earlier.
Back then, an angry Laxus used this move against Kenichi.
But Kenichi had used Enchantment Magic to easily shatter, crush it, leaving a long trench on the ground.
Erza was not Kenichi.
She didn't know Enchantment Magic.
So the moment the arc of electricity swept towards her, Erza leaped into the air, avoiding the arc.
“Heh!”
Seeing Erza jump into the air, Laxus grinned.
Before Erza could land, he violently swung both hands.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Instantly, a large number of lightning orbs, like a storm of bullets, charged towards Erza.
Clearly, Laxus had intentionally forced Erza into the air.
Ordinary mages who couldn't fly would lose their ability to dodge in the air.
Now, with Laxus firing lightning orbs at Erza in the air, Erza had undoubtedly become a sitting duck.
Boom-
Soon, a large number of lightning orbs converged on Erza's location.
At that moment, a terrifyingly loud explosion sound echoed through the hall.
And Erza's figure was swallowed by the exploding lightning.
However, just as Laxus thought the battle was over, a white shadow suddenly shot out from the exploding lightning.
Erza had now shed her Lightning Empress Armor and changed into her Heaven's Wheel Armor!
