Their Respective Battlefields
Jiang Bai's hug and light kiss were like a boulder crashing into Erza Knightwalker's heart, creating a monstrous wave.
Envy, jealousy, bitterness...
A flood of complex emotions overwhelmed her.
She looked at the "herself" in Jiang Bai, who was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed but couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and then glanced at Jiang Bai Warren beside her, who was always as cold as an iceberg.
A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
But Knightwalker quickly suppressed all these feelings of weakness.
Falling in love with Warren is her own business and has nothing to do with anyone else.
She took a deep breath, her gaze regaining its firmness and sharpness.
She stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Bai Warren, her spear pointing forward, demonstrating her stance through her actions.
No matter what, she would fight alongside him!
On the other side, Erza of Earth-land, after a brief moment of shyness, was equally determined.
She gently pushed Jiang Bai away, took a step forward, and stood beside him, the long sword in her hand gleaming with a chilling light.
Erza from two different worlds stood facing each other across the battlefield.
Just then, Gajeel, who hadn't said much, was captivated by a peculiar figure beside the throne.
It was a robust, upright-walking black cat, clad in armor, with a massive sword disproportionate to its size at its waist, a cold expression, and a powerful aura.
It was none other than Panza Lily, the captain of the Royal Army's First Magic Combat Unit!
Gajeel's eyes lit up instantly.
He'd been searching for so long, and this was exactly the kind of handsome and powerful cat he'd been dreaming of!
"It's a cat!"
Gajeel let out a low growl of excitement, his voice filled with undisguised desire.
"I want him to be my cat!"
Without hesitation, ignoring the tense atmosphere around him, he pointed directly at Pansa Lily and shouted in an unquestionable tone:
"Hey! You over there with the sword! Let's have a fight. If I win, you'll be my partner!"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Even Jiang Bai and the others, who were about to start a fight, stopped and looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Upon hearing this, Pansa Lily slowly drew the massive Buster Sword from his waist and gave him a cold glance.
That's impossible.
"Hehe!" Gajeel grinned, revealing a wild smile, and his arm instantly covered in jet-black iron scales.
"That's not up to you!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already charged forward like a cannonball and was locked in combat with Panza Lily.
"Yosh! I'm getting fired up too!"
Natsu, watching Gajeel already engaged in battle, felt his blood boil and couldn't wait to find his own opponent.
His gaze swept rapidly across the room.
That guy named Hughes, his head is swollen like a pig's head and he's still unconscious, pass.
The king is a frail old man; fighting him wouldn't be interesting, so pass.
That gloomy chief of staff looks like a civil servant, so pass.
Warren and Knightwalker are decent, but he wouldn't dare challenge Jiang Bai and Erza to be their opponents.
So... that leaves only Sugarboy, the captain of the Fourth Magic Combat Unit!
To avoid being snatched away by Gray, Natsu didn't hesitate any longer. With a roar, he charged straight at Sugarboy like a little Fire Dragon.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, King Faust retreated in terror, shouting with feigned bravado, "Gather the soldiers! Quickly! Gather the soldiers and wipe them out!"
His chief of staff Byro, quickly agreed.
"Hey! Hey!"
Only Gray, standing to the side, began to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"What's going on?! Did I come here to watch a show?!"
Unfortunately, everyone was already fully engaged in battle and no one paid any attention to his complaints.
"Requip! Heaven's Wheel Armor!"
"Transform! Sonic Spear!"
Erza from both worlds exchanged a glance, their fighting spirit soaring.
Erza of Earth-land flashed with light, instantly donning a magnificent suit of armor with countless flying swords floating behind her.
The spear in Edolas's Knightwalker's hand also erupted with powerful magic, its shaft becoming even sharper, as if it could pierce the sound barrier.
With a shout, the two soared into the sky and engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air!
In an instant, sword energy and spear shadows clashed, causing the entire dome of the hall to tremble.
On the ground, the main battlefields were cleared again.
Jiang Bai looked at Jiang Bai Warren across from him, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious, and smiled easily.
"So, let's have a second round?"
Warren slowly clenched his fists, a fighting spirit rising in his cold eyes.
"Come!"
The battle in the main hall had entered a fierce stage.
Erza Knightwalker and Erza Scarlet transformed into two streaks of light in mid-air, each clash of sword and spear unleashing dazzling sparks and deafening roars.
Gajeel and Panza Lily, one who transforms his body into steel and the other who wields a massive Buster Sword, engage in a primal and wildest clash of power.
Natsu, like a wild dog, chased after Sugarboy, the captain of the Fourth Magic Combat Unit, all over the field, with the roar of the Fire Dragon's Roar echoing incessantly.
The entire throne room had been transformed into a chaotic battlefield.
However, at the heart of this chaos, there was an eerie tranquility.
Jiang Bai and Jiang Bai Warren, the counterparts of these two worlds, once again found themselves in a stalemate after a brief exchange of physical skills.
