Bang——!! The ground under Kagura's feet shattered in an instant.
In the next moment, Kagura had already charged in front of Minerva.
"You will be the second tiger that I devour!"
Her right hand, tightly gripping the hilt of her sword, also aimed at Minerva's body at the same time and swung it out.
"I hope so." Minerva's figure suddenly began to flicker.
In an extremely short period of time, Minerva disappeared in front of Kagura, and what replaced her was the somewhat surprised Erza.
The sudden situation made Erza's pupils shrink.
She hurriedly raised the long sword in her hand to block Kagura's attack.
Boom——!! The blade and the scabbard collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
"She was replaced? I was replaced here?"
Such thoughts appeared in the minds of the two at the same time.
Minerva, who had already appeared in the position where Erza had just stood, tilted her head slightly, and the smile on her face appeared extremely sinister.
Like a demon from hell.
"The next game rules, you two duel, and this little girl will deal with the winner in a while!"
She moved her feet and walked towards the distance.
"Your strength is indeed beyond my expectations, this little girl is no match for a two-on-one."
"So, decide on the strongest one."
"At that time, I will naturally release this little kitty."
Minerva's voice came from not far away, and then an invisible space distortion enveloped her figure.
In the next moment, she disappeared without a trace.
"In the end, she still escaped," Erza stood up, her expression extremely solemn.
"That guy..." Kagura lowered her head, biting her silver teeth tightly, and a trace of scarlet flashed in her pupils.
She raised her head and looked at Erza in front of her.
The long sword in her hand was slowly raised.
"In that case... I can only apologize, I must rescue Millianna!"
"For this, I will definitely do my best to defeat you!"
Her words, like a declaration, made Erza frown slightly.
"Millianna is also an extremely important person to me, so I won't hold back either!"
Light began to envelop Erza, and the somewhat broken purple kimono on her body also disappeared in the light.
What replaced it was the silver-white armor she usually wore, and a sharp sword also appeared in her hand.
"That's what I want!" Kagura said in a deep voice.
She tightly gripped the hilt of her sword and charged towards Erza at an extremely fast speed.
Erza also moved her feet without showing any weakness.
The equally matched fighting spirit of the two filled this space.
—————
Not only Erza and Kagura.
Apart from Sting, who was hiding, and someone who was on their way.
All the surviving mages at the scene were engaged in fierce duels in this town of Crocus.
Dark shadows were constantly flashing around Gajeel.
Rogue attempted to disrupt Gajeel's judgment by constantly changing his position, so as to find an opportunity to attack.
But such a small trick was naturally not seen by Gajeel.
Rogue's movement trajectory was seen through by Gajeel without reservation.
His tightly clenched fist was also swung towards the empty direction. Just when everyone thought that Gajeel's attack had missed.
Rogue appeared here, and before he could swing the attack wrapped in black aura in his hand.
Gajeel's fist had already hit his abdomen.
"Gihhee~~"
Then, accompanied by Gajeel's grinning laughter, the Iron Dragon's Club, which was glowing with black iron, landed on Rogue's body one after another.
Bang——!!
"Ugh..."
As the subsequent blow landed, Rogue couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and his entire figure flew out, directly smashing the stone pillar next to him.
Looking at Rogue on the ground, Gajeel expressionlessly withdrew his attack.
"Give up, it's impossible to make up for the difference in strength in just a few days, you're still too weak now."
After saying this, Gajeel turned around and planned to leave.
However, Rogue only covered his abdomen and stood up tremblingly.
His scarlet eyes looked at Gajeel's back, "I think you..."
He said slowly, "Aren't as strong as Natsu Dragneel!"
Such provocative words seemed to stimulate Gajeel's nerves, and Gajeel, who was walking forward, stopped.
He slowly turned his head.
Veins popped out on that extremely low face.
Raging magic power erupted suddenly.
"What did you say? Brat!"
That terrible voice, like the whisper of a demon.
It was the calm before the storm!
—————
About one kilometer away from the broken central park.
Finn arrived here, looking into the distance.
Through the straight street, Finn could see a ruin at the end of the street.
Even from thousands of meters away, Finn could feel the magic power that had erupted there and the soaring sword intent.
"A duel between swordsmen and swordsmen..."
Finn murmured in a low voice.
"It seems that it should be Erza and Kagura, but Minerva's magic power has disappeared."
"In short, I should find Erza first, and then ask about Minerva's whereabouts."
After pondering for a while, Finn moved his feet again and started walking towards the park.
Ding ding dang dang——!!
The sound of metal and leather clashing constantly rang out.
The buildings that still remained around them seemed to be affected by the impact of the two's attacks.
And had become fragmented.
After another collision that knocked Kagura back, Erza frowned.
In the constant collisions just now, she could feel Kagura's power starting to become stronger and stronger.
Even Erza could see the increasingly intense madness in Kagura's eyes.
"I must rescue Millianna... I must!"
At this moment, she seemed to have become a different person, making Erza feel an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.
"Is it because of that sword..." The clever Erza noticed the source in the first moment.
Grudge Sword - Unafraid of the Heavens!
That was a sword that was said to have been watered with the hatred of countless lives in the legend.
It contained the darkness of countless people.
And because of this, Unafraid of the Heavens also possessed unimaginable power.
But at the same time, it also carried a vast amount of resentment.
If a person with an unstable mind touched this sword, they might even be completely devoured of their reason by the powerful resentment contained within it.
Becoming a machine that only knew how to kill.
But Kagura had resisted it.
Her well-tempered will helped her resist the invasion from the grudge sword.
But at the same time, Kagura hadn't completely mastered this sword either.
The resentment and her will were constantly fighting against each other, seeming to form a delicate balance.
