" Gajeel Iron Dragon Slayer?"
Erza's expression changed.
As arch-rivals, Erza has indeed never fought Gajeel.
However, he knew clearly that this opponent, who was being groomed for a major role, was one of the best among the Phantom Lord.
He is also one of the few S-Class Mage among the Phantom Lord.
To deal with Levy and the other B-Class Mage, an S-Class Mage has been deployed.
Isn't this a bit too unsportsmanlike?
If the two sides actually meet, even if Gajeel is alone, Levy and her two companions will likely be no match for him.
" Bai Yu, you stop them! Gajeel is S-Class Mage! I'm going to find Levy and the others!"
"Erza said urgently."
Bai Yu is indeed a newcomer, but after yesterday's brief exchange, in Erza's eyes, Bai Yu's true strength is clearly on par with that of S-Class Mage.
Faced with these assassins and dark puppets from the Phantom Lord.
Bai Yu alone is more than capable of handling the task.
Moreover, there's Lucy, the Celestial Spirit Mage, filling in the gaps.
Holding out until the rest of the guild arrives is not a difficult task.
Most importantly, Bai Yu is indeed proficient in swordsmanship.
However, Gajeel, who possesses the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, is clearly at a disadvantage.
If faced with the impact of numerous iron pillars, Bai Yu would likely be unable to withstand it.
" Erza, no need." Bai Yu took out a bottle of rum he had hidden at the banquet last night, took a swig, and said.
"Last night, I promised that girl I would protect her."
"As a newcomer, it would be a bit unreasonable to disappoint my seniors!"
" Bai Yu, this is no time for jokes. Gajeel is not easy to deal with," Erza said urgently.
"If I wait until I've dealt with this place before heading over, it might be too late."
"No need. These are minor issues; they can be resolved in a flash."
"You and Lucy stay where you are, and don't go any closer!"
Bai Yu took another swig of wine, and with a single step, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
Now that the Three Types of Haki can be used in this world, Bai Yu certainly didn't let the simple Six Powers fail.
Among these, shaving clearly has a surprising and practical use in such low-level combat.
By the time everyone came to their senses, Bai Yu had already traversed a hundred meters and appeared in the center of the group of assassins' encirclement.
The unexpected delivery caused everyone's expression to change.
Even Erza and Lucy's expressions changed drastically.
In their eyes, this was far too presumptuous.
" Bai Yu..." Erza's expression turned anxious, and she was about to walk out.
However, Lucy quickly stopped her. Looking at Bai Yu, who remained calm in the crowd, Lucy remembered Aquarius's words from the previous night. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stammered, " Erza, let's stay here. I trust Bai Yu; he shouldn't be reckless. Aquarius said Bai Yu is terrifying..."
"Terrifying?" Erza's expression froze, and she subconsciously looked at Bai Yu.
The assassins from the Phantom Lord also came to their senses.
He was taken aback when Bai Yu offered himself up, then burst into a ferocious laugh.
"Haha, so you're just an arrogant newbie. Since you're willing to die, then die for us!"
"Do it! Kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight assassins, along with the dark puppet, rushed towards Bai Yu.
Erza's nerves tensed instantly, and she involuntarily gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
Especially seeing Bai Yu with his eyes closed under the attack, he wished he could sprout wings and fly over there.
However, before she could react, Bai Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and a crisp sound of a blade rang out like a dragon's roar.
Draw Sword!
Buzz!
An invisible wave of air swept across the open space like ripples.
The assassins and dark puppets attacking from all directions suddenly halted their forward momentum.
The next moment, what Erza and Lucy saw made their pupils suddenly contract.
Crimson blood spurted from the assassin's body.
Dozens of dark puppets were cut in half at the waist.
Centered on Bai Yu, everything within a fifty-meter radius was cleanly severed.
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled Erza and Lucy back to reality.
However, looking around the field, Bai Yu was nowhere to be seen, only dozens of corpses and an empty space that had been cleared out.
Looking at the severed limbs and remains scattered on the ground, and the earth stained red.
Lucy collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
At that moment, she finally understood why Aquarius had said Bai Yu was terrifying.
One strike wipes out dozens of enemies!
Is this a forbidden zone for death?
Isn't that a bit too shocking!
Even Erza felt a sense of relief at this moment, thankful that she hadn't ignored Bai Yu's instructions and stepped into the forbidden zone of the Grim Reaper.
Otherwise, they could be killed in a single, unexpected strike.
Bang!
A dull thud suddenly rang out, sending up a cloud of dust that filled the sky and earth.
The iron statue that once stood in the open square had its upper body crash to the ground, leaving only the neatly cut lower half.
Erza's expression changed, revealing a look of utter shock.
At that moment, she finally understood why Bai Yu had rejected her kindness and refused to accept those demonic weapons.
This is probably entirely because it's unnecessary.
It is possible to Cutting Iron successfully using ordinary iron tools.
At least, Erza knew she couldn't do it right now.
"It seems it wasn't that he was too arrogant, but rather that we underestimated this Dragon-Slaying Magic Swordsman," Erza said with a wry smile as she helped Lucy up.
" Lucy, tell me, if someone told you one day that Bai Yu could slay dragons, would you believe it?"
"At least, I believed it!"
Lucy nodded, looking at Erza's bitter expression, and readily agreed.
Lucy didn't know just how powerful dragons were.
However, the strength that Bai Yu has displayed time and again has forced Lucy to believe it.
At least, what just happened was a visual feast.
Meanwhile, a Phantom Lord was hiding in the distance, monitoring everything that was happening.
He had already fallen flat on his backside.
In particular, seeing the metal statue that had been cut in half was absolutely astonishing.
At the same time, an extremely absurd thought flashed through my mind.
Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer, is most skilled at manipulating metal, turning himself into steel.
What would happen if this guy slashed at me a few times?
At least, in the eyes of this informant, this scene was simply unimaginable.
Ignoring his trembling legs, he scrambled away as fast as he could.
At this moment, he had only one wish!
At the very least, we need to get there before Gajeel gets slashed!
