That's... a mountain?
No! That's a mobile war fortress!
Six huge mechanical feet move in the shallow sea, triggering a small tsunami every time they land.
That is the guild headquarters of the Phantom Lord Guild--Six-Legged Walking Guild!
The entire building was pitch black, covered with ferocious spikes and heavy armor. Under the gloomy sky, it looked like a giant steel beast from ancient times, exuding a desperate sense of oppression.
"Are you kidding... a guild of this size..." Macao's voice was trembling, and the pipe in his hand slipped again.
"Are they crazy? They actually drove the headquarters here!"
Just when everyone was horrified.
The steel behemoth slowly stopped.
At the front of its fortress, the thick armor plates made a creaking sound and slowly opened to both sides.
A huge, pitch-black barrel with a diameter of several meters slowly stretched out from the inside.
"That's..." Erza's face instantly turned pale, and her sharp eyes reflected the light gathering deep in the muzzle.
"Focused Magic Cannon--Jupiter!"
Strong magic waves surged in the air, and the space around the muzzle even had cracks visible to the naked eye because it could not withstand this force.
Purple-black magic light spots gathered crazily, which was enough power to raze the entire union to the ground.
The threat of death approaches everyone.
The air in the entire city completely solidified at this moment.
On the coastline of Magnolia, the air has been drained.
The purple-black light in the huge cluster cannon was extremely intense.
The magic is compressing like crazy.
The surrounding space even made a crisp sound like glass breaking because it couldn't bear this terrifying energy.
"That... that's Jupiter!"
Macao's voice is trembling.
He stared hard at the war machine that could wipe out an entire city, and the pipe in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
"With magic power of this magnitude... everyone will die!"
The faces of the surrounding guild members turned pale.
They could clearly feel that the shadow of death had shrouded their heads.
At this critical moment.
A figure suddenly rushed to the front of the guild.
Erza's long hair was fluttering in the strong wind.
There was determination in her eyes, a determination to protect her family even if she risked her life.
"Requip--Adamantine Armor!"
With a sweet shout, dazzling white light instantly enveloped her.
When the light dissipated, Erza had put on a set of heavy armor that was entirely silver-white and as thick as a mountain.
Two huge shields were folded in front of him.
"Everyone get down!"
Erza roared.
Her voice penetrated the roar of the waves and echoed in everyone's ears.
The guild members fell to the ground subconsciously.
They looked at the slender but thick back, their eyes full of shock and worry.
"Erza! Get out of the way!"
Natsu The canthus of the eyes is about to split.
He wanted to rush forward, but was forced back by the terrifying demonic pressure emanating from him.
Accompanied by a loud bang.
Jupiter fired.
A beam of light several meters in diameter carried an astonishing momentum and instantly swallowed up the sight.
The earth is trembling.
At this moment, the sea water was instantly evaporated by the high temperature, and white mist rose up all over the sky.
The light beam collided hard with Erza's shield.
"Stop it for me...!!!"
Erza gritted his teeth, and the muscles in his arms trembled violently due to excessive exertion.
Her feet sunk deeply into the stone ground.
In front of that torrent of magic power, her figure seemed so small.
But this tiny figure is like an insurmountable barrier, blocking Death's sickle.
A sizzling friction sound was heard.
The sound of magic friction was extremely harsh.
Erza The huge defensive magic array in front of him was flashing crazily.
That was the last line of defense she built by burning all her magic power.
Click.
A subtle crack sounded particularly clear among the noisy explosions.
That was the sound of Adamantine Armor breaking.
Immediately afterwards.
Several muffled bangs.
Fine cracks spread rapidly on the armor like spider webs.
A stream of blood spilled from the corner of Erza's mouth, and her vision began to blur.
The magic power in the body has been completely exhausted.
Every nerve is screaming in pain.
Finally.
After exhausting all his will, the defensive formation collapsed.
The remaining shock wave sent Erza flying away.
Like a kite with its string broken, she drew an arc in the air and fell heavily into the ruins a hundred meters away.
The smoke and dust dispersed.
The originally majestic coastline was now reduced to a deep, charred pit.
But, Fairy Tail, saved it.
"Blocked... blocked?"
A Phantom Lord and Mage's eyes widened and the weapon in their hands almost fell to the ground.
He looked at the figure lying in a pool of blood in disbelief.
"Are you kidding! That's Jupiter! He was actually blocked by a woman with her body?"
A panicked commotion broke out in Phantom Lord's camp.
They had never seen such crazy will.
"Erza!!!"
Natsu sent out a beast-like the Roar, rushing towards the ruins crazily.
Gray, Mirajane, everyone gathered around.
"Hey, Erza! Wake up!"
Gray's voice was trembling.
He looked at Erza's already broken armor, his eyes were frighteningly red.
Erza opened his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the faces of his companions around him.
She tried to force out a smile, but it turned into a weak gasp due to the severe pain.
"Everyone... just be fine..."
After saying this, she completely fainted in Mirajane's arms.
Just then.
A cold, arrogant voice with a twisted smile spread throughout the battlefield through the magic amplifier.
"What a touching sense of companionship."
Jose's voice echoed over the sea, revealing a sickening joke.
"But how long will this meaningless struggle continue?"
On the top of Iron Fortress, the shadow of Jose stands with hands behind its back.
His gaze passed through the smoke and was firmly fixed on the people in the guild.
"Hand over Lucy·Heartfilia!"
Jose's voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying unquestionable majesty.
"As long as you hand over that girl, I can consider letting you poor goblins go."
The open space in front of the guild fell into a brief dead silence.
Lucy stood in the crowd, her delicate body trembling slightly.
She looked at the seriously injured Erza and her companions covered in scars, and her heart was filled with endless self-blame.
"I..."
Lucy was about to step forward.
"If we betray our companions, it would be better for us to die!"
Erza A force surged out from nowhere, and with the support of Mirajane, it roared to the sky for the last time.
