Chapter 602

【"It seems you have also noticed me," Erza came to stand opposite the two.】

【"Not the kind that relies on smell, but... the pure feeling between swordsmen."】

【"Ikaruga, right?" Erza also raised a smile simultaneously.】

【"My sword has already begun to boil!"】

【Vidaldus looked at Ikaruga, then at Erza.】

【His brows furrowed: "Hey! There's still someone here."】

【Erza glanced sideways at Vidaldus.】

【She ignored him.】

【Instead, she opened her right hand, and a magic array unfolded.】

【Then it enveloped her whole body.】

【"Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!"】

【In the light, steel-like wings, steel armor, and dozens of blades emerged.】

【The blades rotated constantly behind Erza like a sword formation.】

【"Heaven's Wheel Armor, huh..." Ikaruga slowly drew her blade.】

【Erza's eyes narrowed slightly.】

【Her figure surged instantly.】

【The steel wings behind her flapped accordingly.】

【Starting to fight upon meeting, without any nonsense!】

【"Heaven's Wheel: Blumenblatt!!"】

【The flying blades followed Erza's will and began to attack Ikaruga from various tricky angles!】

【Ikaruga's lips parted slightly: "Contradiction Style: Yaksha Flash!"】

【Swish—!!!】

【Continuous sword flashes flickered, and all the blades shooting toward her following Erza's will shattered in an instant, turning into steel fragments dancing in the sky!】

【Erza's pupils contracted slightly, obviously a bit surprised.】

【But, that was the end of it.】

【Taking advantage of the steel cover in the sky, Erza had already rushed in front of Ikaruga in an instant.】

【The blade held tightly in her hand swung down without mercy.】

【Ikaruga immediately raised her sword to block.】

【Boom————!!!】

【The clash of sword and sword instantly ignited a terrifying roar.】

【The violent impact erupted from the center where the two touched.】

【Sending both of them back simultaneously.】

【The incoming wind made Vidaldus's steps on the side start to feel a bit unsteady.】

【He crossed his hands to protect himself, and his black hair reaching his ankles danced wildly in the wind.】

【Facing the strong wind, he opened his eyes with difficulty.】

【Looking at Ikaruga who was retreating, his eyes were filled with shock.】

【This was the first time he had seen Ikaruga retreat.】

【In the past, no matter how difficult the mission was, no matter who she faced, Ikaruga had always crushed them with absolute strength.】

【But today...】

【His brows furrowed tightly, Vidaldus looked at Erza who was also retreating.】

【His fingers lightly stroked his strings.】

【"Is she that strong?"】

【"Then let her completely turn into a sleep demon!!"】

【As the words fell, the strings were plucked!】

【Harsh noise sounded instantly.】

【In Erza's direction, she was holding her blade and preparing to charge, but her steps paused abruptly!】

【Manic notes kept pouring into her ears, attempting to subvert her will!】

【Her brows furrowed abruptly!】

【"Get lost!!"】

【Erza shouted low!】

【In an instant, the manic notes shattered directly.】

【The strings in Vidaldus's hands snapped directly.】

【Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.】

【"Uwah~~"】

【He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the broken strings in his hands, his pupils trembling crazily!】

【"That guy... what did she do?? My lute... my lute..."】

【Vidaldus was screaming in collapse.】

【But, his interference just now was not without effect.】

【Just the moment Erza paused.】

【Blinding sword light flashed by!】

【Click click... click click click...】

【On the Heaven's Wheel Armor, fine cracks kept appearing until they covered the entire armor.】

【Bang!!!】

【Accompanied by an abrupt sound, the Heaven's Wheel Armor on Erza shattered directly.】

【Then it turned into light and disappeared.】

【Ikaruga, who had swung this blow, looked at Vidaldus with displeasure.】

【"As a result, did I become someone who takes advantage of others?"】

【However, thinking of Jellal's predicament, Ikaruga sighed lightly.】

【"Forget it, although this is a bit of an unfair victory, there's no way, this is my job."】

【Her eyes looked at Erza: "Let's continue, you shouldn't have lost your combat power just like this, right?"】

【Erza looked at the broken blade in her hand with surprise.】

【"Being able to slash my armor, you really have a way."】

【"You are indeed a very strong swordsman."】

【"But!"】

【Hum!!】

【Terrifying magic power gradually began to erupt.】

【"It's a pity, any sword in front of me must bow!"】

【Crimson magic power shot straight into the sky.】

【"It's been a long time since I used this power, let's practice."】

【Accompanied by a soft murmur, on Erza's cheeks, one piece after another of dragon scales began to erupt.】

【At this moment! Ikaruga keenly sensed that something was wrong.】

【Stunned eyes looked down at the blade in her hand.】

【Her pupils shrank violently!】

【"What's going on? The sword... is trembling?"】

【"No... it's the sword... is in fear?!"】
