"Fairy Sword: Radiant Starfall!!!"
Erza gripped the Star Holy Sword with both hands, and the wings of light on her back vibrated fiercely!
She transformed into a dazzling golden meteor streaking across the heavens!
No more dodging!
Instead, with an indomitable will to crush everything, she charged headlong into that fatal death ray, without hesitation!
Her speed was so great that she left behind a lingering golden afterimage, like a deity descending!
Boom—!!!!!!!
The golden Star Holy Sword and the pitch-black death ray collided violently at the center of the battlefield!
There was no sound!
Or rather, the sound was completely swallowed by the annihilation effect produced by the collision of extreme energy!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment!
At the point of impact!
A point of ultimate darkness, as if capable of devouring all things, and a point of ultimate golden light, as if capable of creating all things, fiercely tore, swallowed, and annihilated each other like two colliding stars!
A half-gold, half-black energy sphere instantly expanded at an unimaginable speed!
Inside the sphere, space was covered in cracks like a shattered mirror!
Violent energy turbulence swept outwards like an out-of-control cosmic storm!
Wherever it passed, the remaining bone walls, undead army, and even sturdy rock ruins, silently turned into the most primitive particle dust!
Crack!
A faint sound, yet it seemed to echo in the depths of everyone's soul, a sound of shattering!
Jose's Oblivion Ray, condensed with his life's magic power and imbued with the law of death, shattered like fragile ice crystals... piece by piece... before the Star Holy Sword, which contained Erza's entire life, her entire will, and all the bonds and beliefs of the Fairy Tail Guild!
Collapse!
Finally, it was completely annihilated and swallowed by that invincible holy golden light!
"No—!!!" Jose's sneer froze completely, replaced by unbelievable horror and despair!
His proud, ultimate attack, capable of obliterating any existence below the Ten Wizard Saints... was actually defeated head-on?!
And Erza's figure, at the moment she crushed the death ray, had already broken through the energy annihilation sphere with the majestic divine power to cut down all darkness, appearing before Jose as if by teleportation!
The golden Star Holy Sword, carrying the holy radiance that purifies all evil and judges all injustice in the world, infinitely magnified in Jose's pupils, which had constricted to pinpricks due to extreme horror!
Where the sword's edge pointed, even space wailed!
"Slay Evil!!!"
Erza's roar was like a thunderclap from the nine heavens!
The Star Holy Sword slashed down without any flourish!
No technique, only the absolute crushing power of faith and strength!
Hiss—!!!!
Like holy light purifying filth!
All of Jose's defenses, condensed with his life's magic power, the swirling undead magic power around him, and even the giant purple-black magic circle beneath his feet, were as fragile as dewdrops in the sunlight before the Fairy Sword, which contained the absolute belief of "protecting comrades" and "destroying evil"!
Instantly evaporated and purified!
The sword's momentum did not diminish! There was no obstruction!
Puff!
A dull sound, yet it seemed to toll a death knell.
Time seemed to stand still again.
Jose's body stiffened in place, maintaining the posture of pushing his hands forward, trying to gather his last magic power.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at his chest in disbelief.
A dazzling golden crack, from his left shoulder diagonally to his right abdomen, ran through his entire upper body.
No blood flowed from the crack; only a dense, unyielding holy golden light, like burning holy flames, wildly spread and burned at the wound!
This light not only seared his flesh but also frantically purified and disintegrated the source of the impure undead magic power within him!
Like boiling water on snow!
"Uh... ho ho..." Jose's throat emitted a hoarse, strange sound like a broken bellows, and the light in his eyes rapidly dimmed and extinguished like a receding tide.
It was an ultimate despair of power being completely stripped away, belief utterly crushed, and even existence itself denied.
The undead magic power around him retreated and dissolved wildly as if encountering its nemesis, and the giant magic circle beneath his feet crumbled piece by piece, turning into dust.
"Why... why..." He stared intently at Erza, who was close at hand, clad in shining armor like a Valkyrie descended, his eyes filled with endless unwillingness and incomprehension, "I... I actually lost to you foolish brats... who only know about comrades... and justice..."
Erza slowly withdrew the Star Holy Sword, and the wings of light gently flapped behind her, scattering specks of starlight that purified all defilement.
Her face was ashen from the immense exertion, her breathing was rapid, and the hand holding the sword even trembled slightly, but her eyes were as bright as burning stars, filled with the power to pierce through all darkness.
"Because," her voice was calm, yet it contained an unshakeable belief like a mountain, clearly entering Jose's fading consciousness, "what I bear is the trust of my comrades and the glory of the Guild! It is the never-extinguishing true feelings of Fairy Tail! This weight gives me strength beyond limits! And you, Jose Porla..."
Erza's gaze was like a sword of judgment, piercing through Jose's last pretense: "Your heart holds only darkness, selfishness, and endless greed! This emptiness and decay are the root of your defeat! The name of Ten Wizard Saints was already tarnished the moment you plunged into darkness! Today, I shall put an end to this infamy!"
As her words fell, the golden crack on Jose's body suddenly erupted with a light more dazzling than the sun!
"No—!!!"
Accompanied by a shrill, distorted scream filled with endless hatred, unwillingness, and ultimate fear, Jose's body, under the purification of the holy light, rapidly melted and disintegrated like residual snow thrown into a furnace!
His flesh, bones, and even the source of his soul fiercely burned and vaporized in the sacred golden flames!
Finally, he turned into wisps of insignificant black smoke, completely incinerated, leaving not even a speck of dust!
Jose Porla, the Undead Lord who once dominated the world and ranked among the Ten Wizard Saints, was thus completely annihilated!
His body and soul were utterly destroyed!
Erza's Fairy Armor dissipated into specks of brilliant golden light, revealing her slightly panting figure, her temples damp with sweat.
She leaned on the Star Holy Sword, kneeling slightly on one knee, struggling not to fall.
The intense pain from severe magic power depletion and soul shock made her vision blur repeatedly.
But she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the surging blood and exhaustion, and her gaze, like lightning, shot towards the core of the black and white light pillar, which, though violently swaying due to Jose's defeat, still stubbornly persisted.
"EZ... Brain..." A hint of anxiety flashed in Erza's eyes.
She didn't know what was happening deep within the core, but Nirvana's energy fluctuations, though weakened, had not completely disappeared!
She had to go support them!
Without any hesitation, Erza used her sword to support her body, struggled to stand up, wiped away a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes became sharp and resolute once more.
She no longer looked at where Jose had disappeared, and with steps that were still somewhat unsteady but incredibly firm, she charged without hesitation towards the source of the light pillar, which symbolized ultimate darkness!
Meanwhile, deep within the core of the light pillar, the true decisive battle had just begun...
