Erza replied truthfully.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the referee seemed to recall the scene where Erza instantly defeated her opponent with a single punch.
Thinking about it carefully, Erza indeed didn't consume much magic power during the battle, but continuous battles obviously didn't comply with the rules of the Magic Games.
"Let her go! Pumpkin!"
Just as the referee was at a loss, 'Pumpkin,' the chief referee, appeared beside him at some unknown point, a mischievous smile on his face, and said softly.
"This..."
"Okay, I understand."
The referee of the Magic Games trembled upon hearing this, then he took a deep look at Pumpkin, who had suddenly appeared beside him, and finally nodded, agreeing to Erza's challenge to Rustyrose.
"Thanks."
Erza said, lightly leaping from the ground and directly onto the ring where Rustyrose was. She looked at Rustyrose, who had one hand in his pocket, and said coldly, "Since you, this punk, have announced your decision to be an enemy of the Fairy Tail Guild Magicians, then surely you are prepared to be utterly defeated by the Fairy Tail Guild Magicians! It's too late to regret it now."
"Regret?!"
"Let me show you light-wielders..."
"What true power is!"
Rustyrose was incredibly arrogant; he seemed to completely disregard Erza.
"Requip..."
Upon hearing this, Erza seemed too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Rustyrose...
Accompanied by a surprising surge of magic power and a slowly rising, dazzling magic circle, Erza directly changed out of her armor and into a plain swordsman's outfit.
"Hey! Where's your armor?"
"Are you admitting defeat because you know you're no match for me?"
Rustyrose asked, looking at Erza, who had changed out of her armor.
"To deal with a punk like you, I don't need to use my armor."
Erza's lips curved into a confident smile.
Yes, Erza naturally knew that Rustyrose seemed to disregard her...
But conversely, she had never considered Rustyrose, this punk, to be worth her attention either.
"What did you say, you?!"
"You dare to look down on me? You'll regret it..."
"Hahahahaha..."
"Fine, I've decided!"
"I'll utterly crush you here!"
Rustyrose radiated boundless killing intent from head to toe, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes as fierce as a vengeful spirit. Since joining Grimoire Heart, he had forgotten how long it had been since he had been looked down upon like this. He hated being underestimated, because it made him recall his utterly pathetic childhood, always being bullied.
"Less talk."
Upon hearing this, Erza gripped the hilt of the katana at her waist with one hand and the scabbard firmly with the other. After striking a drawing-sword stance, she tightly closed her eyes.
"I'll crush you in an instant!"
"Come forth! My strongest guardians, my holy beasts who serve me!"
"Belcusas of 'Lightning' and Belfast of 'Gale'!!"
Rustyrose's eye twitched slightly, and he roared, instantly erupting with magic power that rivaled or even surpassed that of an ordinary guild's S-Class Mage. With a wave of his hand, he summoned two colossal beasts, each over twenty meters tall and massive in build!
