I Absolutely Won't Hold Back!

"Such powerful magic," Erza said with a serious expression.

"Wow, I didn't expect this chattering bird to be so strong," Mirajane agreed.

Only when the two of them actually stood opposite Griffon did they realize this.

It turns out that this playful, joking bird, who usually likes to give people nicknames, actually possesses such formidable strength.

"Ready, girls? I'm not holding back!" Griffon warned jokingly.

Mirajane and Erza did not answer. By this time, they had put aside their contempt and playfulness and were truly serious.

"Requip - Heaven's Wheel Armor!"

"Devil Receiving - Satan Soul!"

Knowing that Griffon was extremely fast, the two did not give it another chance to gain the upper hand, but instead went all out from the start.

Erza was covered in silver armor that resembled that of an angel, and she had four silver-white wings on her back.

Mirajane's white hair stood on end, her hands transformed into ferocious claws, a jet-black tail sprouted from her back, and a pair of Devil wings grew from behind her.

"Heavenly Fate - The Sword of Chaos!"

Erza the first attack, dozens of sharp swords appearing behind her and transforming into dense beams of sword light that shot towards Griffon in the air.

Now that it has grown larger, we should use a sufficiently dense barrage of firepower to suppress it, leaving it with no way to escape.

"That's what you think, isn't it?"

Griffon's voice suddenly rang in Erza's ears; it had somehow crossed the dense rain of swords and arrived beside the girl.

Erza's eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively turned to slash with her twin swords, but Griffon's two claws grabbed her longsword.

It unleashed a bolt of lightning from its mouth, unleashing a terrifying shockwave at Erza, who had no way to dodge.

"Boom!"

A blinding flash of lightning suddenly erupted, creating a huge crater in the ground.

"Take care of one," Griffon said coldly, turning around.

Erza!

Mirajane shouted, her hands gripping two jet-black magic orbs as she hurtled towards Griffon.

Dark Spark!

With a flap of its wings, Griffon unleashed a massive electric net of blue and white lightning that swept towards Mirajane.

Mirajane was instantly caught in the lightning net; the terrifying electric current paralyzed her body, even slowing the flow of magic.

The next moment, lightning gathered again in Griffon's mouth, seemingly intending to finish off Mirajane in the same way.

Suddenly, Erza, wearing light green armor with lightning patterns, appeared in front of him.

Lightning Empress Armor!

The armor enhances resistance to lightning; Erza used it to withstand Griffon's breath attack.

This armor also comes with a Lightning Emperor's Spear, which can unleash powerful lightning strikes by accumulating lightning.

At this moment, she held a long spear in her hand, which was also gathering a burst of blue lightning.

He aimed at the lightning that had accumulated halfway in Griffon's mouth and detonated it instantly.

"Boom!"

Griffon was immediately struck in the face by a burst of lightning.

Unfortunately...

"You're still a bit too naive to play with fire in front of me, Grandpa Griffon."

Griffon said calmly, clearly indicating that the attack had not affected it.

"How about this?"

A devilishly alluring voice suddenly came from beneath him.

Griffon looked down and saw that Mirajane had appeared in front of it at some point, placing her hands on its chest.

"Sadistic Flash!"

A dark magical power gathered in Mirajane's hand, as if it contained all the evil in the world, and was fired at Griffon like a cannonball.

Griffon was immediately sent flying backwards.

But with a flap of its wings, it quickly adjusted its posture, its entire body enveloped in lightning, and charged back.

"Requip - Flight Armor!"

Erza, wielding two sharp swords and dressed in a leopard-print animal suit, charged in from the side at incredible speed.

This armor, which enhances speed, greatly increases Erza's speed.

Griffon tilted his head back to dodge the sword, then opened his mouth wide, bit the blade, and flung Erza away before giving chase.

Erza and Griffon instantly transformed into two shimmering orbs of light that collided repeatedly in the air.

However, even with the boost from the Flight Armor, Griffon's speed is still unmatched by Erza.

She was defeated after two or three rounds and fell to the ground.

However, even just two or three rounds would be enough time for Mirajane below to prepare.

"Dark Eruption!"

The dark magic transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, silently enveloping the sky around Griffon, leaving it nowhere to escape, and seizing it in one swift motion.

Erza then Requip again:

"Black Wing Armor!"

She wore black armor with a white cross on the outside, had bat-like wings on her back, and held a one-handed sword in her hand.

This armor can greatly increase the power of a single strike.

Erza instantly soared into the sky on her wings, her sword flashing like a black moon, slicing through Mirajane's magical giant hand and Griffon together.

Griffon's massive body plummeted from the sky, gradually shrinking to the size of an eagle before collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Yuri walked forward speechlessly and retrieved Griffon, inwardly condemning himself, "Didn't you say you would never hold back? But why do I smell the sea?"

Griffon retorted irritably, "You have the nerve to say that? How am I supposed to fight with so little magic? It'll all be gone after I transform."

"I did that to prevent you from getting too playful and accidentally ruining the two girls' confidence," Yuri replied logically.

Nightmares, though powerful, are in some ways like rootless duckweed.

Normally, the mana consumed comes entirely from the contractor.

In other words, no matter how powerful Griffon is, if Yuri doesn't give it magic, or if Yuri's magic at the time isn't enough to support its consumption, then it can't unleash its full potential.

However, although Yuri didn't give Griffon much magic, it wasn't so much that it would disappear after a transformation as Griffin claimed.

It's purely because this guy is lazy.

Yuri shook his head helplessly. It seemed like everyone who said they would never hold back ended up doing so in the end...

That's one thing, but in reality, Griffon has evolved since absorbing Volibear's Demon Heart.

With its current strength, it's at least an S-Class magical beast, so even if it holds back, it won't be so easy to deal with.

All I can say is that Erza and Mirajane have made tremendous progress in the past few years, and their teamwork is also quite seamless.

Perhaps because they occasionally work together on missions, despite their bickering, their teamwork in a real fight is far better than his and Laxus's back then.

But...

If it's only this bad, it won't pass his test.

Because he absolutely will not let anyone off the hook!!

"Boom!!"

A terrifying surge of magical energy suddenly emanated from Yuri, pressing down like a mountain and causing the two girls to collapse.

"So, are you ready?" Yuri grinned maliciously. "Elite monster's turn is over. Next up is..."

"BOSS battle!"
