Elsewhere
Erza and Millianna walked forward for quite a while without finding Sho. All they saw were defeated Magic Soldiers and scattered cards.
"Where did that guy Sho go?!" Erza asked anxiously.
Millianna reassured her, "Don't worry. Other than the four of us, no one here is stronger than me."
"I think Sho went to find Jellal."
"No, that's too dangerous. He has no chance of standing up to Jellal!"
"Millianna, let's split up. You go rescue those trapped people, and I'll keep looking for Sho."
Millianna said worriedly, "But..."
"Trust me. I'll definitely bring Sho back."
With that, Erza headed straight ahead and disappeared into the passage.
Elsewhere
Natsu and Gray kept dodging the attacks as Simon and Woody continuously assaulted them under Udal Das's magic.
Neither of them could bring themselves to strike the two down, so they could only keep evading their attacks.
Simon shouted, "rock on! Come duel me!"
"Blackout Curtain!"
In an instant, Natsu and Gray found themselves surrounded by complete darkness.
Gray cried out, "Damn it, this move again!"
"Watch out, Natsu!"
"Ice Make: Shield!"
An ice shield instantly appeared before Natsu and Gray. At that moment, several gunshots rang out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every shot was blocked by Gray's ice shield.
The more Natsu fought, the more frustrated he became.
"Arghhh!! This is so damn annoying!!"
Flames immediately blazed across Natsu's body, and the scorching fire directly dispersed the darkness around them.
"Dragon's Head of the Fire Dragon!"
Natsu charged fiercely toward Udal Das.
When Simon and Woody tried to stop him, Natsu rushed straight past them before they could even react.
Seeing this, Gray hurriedly cast his magic.
"Ice Make: Floor!"
Ice energy instantly spread across the ground, freezing Simon and Woody's feet in place as frost continued creeping up their bodies.
