At this time, a great battle had already broken out in the sea. Ikaruga's Moonless Style was just as sharp in the water; slicing through space and water were basic operations.
Just as Lucy and Juvia were about to give in, Mirajane appeared, immediately drawing Ikaruga's gaze. That powerful magic power left her no room to continue chasing those two weaklings.
"Take Over: Demon Soul Halphas!"
Mirajane knew her opponent was a formidable foe and directly activated a magic circle. Blue bladed wings unfolded, she wore a sexy blue outfit, and blue demonic horns grew from her head.
In an instant, terrifying magic power swept up, breaking through the water's surface and piercing the heavens.
"Is this Demon Mirajane?"
Lucy watched dumbfounded; it was her first time seeing Mirajane in this form, and it felt much stronger than Satan Soul.
No wonder Natsu and the others always said Mirajane could rival Erza; she was actually this strong.
"Hurry and leave. When the time comes, use gemini to transform into someone powerful and defeat them all."
Juvia pulled Lucy toward the deep sea. She could continuously draw strength from the ocean. As long as she was given time, she could raise Lucy's magic power to a level surpassing the Ten Wizard Saints... Mirajane's magic power was too powerful for even seawater to get close. Her movements were like a thunderbolt, rushing in front of Ikaruga in an instant and sending her flying with a single punch.
Due to the seawater's resistance, Ikaruga didn't take much damage after blocking with her scabbard.
However, that terrifying magic power was truly hard to believe.
Ikaruga's gaze narrowed slightly as she placed her right hand on the hilt of her sword, her lips parting slightly: "Sword Flash!"
A nearly invisible flash of the blade passed through, instantly carving several wounds on Mirajane's body, blood splattering.
"So fast!"
Mirajane covered her wounds. Since her opponent was so strong, she had fewer reservations; now she would use her full strength.
She waved her hands, and a massive black magic circle unfolded. A violent pillar of magic power evaporated the seawater, blasting instantly toward Ikaruga.
"Moonless Style: Multiple Slashes!"
Ikaruga met it head-on. The long sword in her hand erupted with a flash. The speed of her draw was completely invisible, and the pillar of magic power shattered instantly.
Her figure flickered past, arriving in front of Mirajane. The sword light cut through the water, launching a swift series of slashes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mirajane's demonic scales and claws were her best weapons. She immediately waved her hands to block the blade. Sparks erupted between the two sides, strands of sword qi raged, and magic power exploded, turning the surrounding area into a chaotic mess.
"Demon's Claw!"
With a whisper, Mirajane condensed terrifying magic power. Her claws became sharper than any blade, and with a casual swing, she could slice through the seawater.
"Moonless Style: Yaksha Flash!"
Ikaruga stood ready, magic power enveloping her long sword. While dodging the claws, she drew her sword and slashed, sending several streams of light tearing through the sea.
Mirajane condensed magic power in her claws, forming a pitch-black spherical space. When the streams of light arrived, they were all swallowed by the dark space.
"Go!"
After throwing the black sphere of magic, it acted like an insatiable black hole, continuously swallowing seawater as it moved toward Ikaruga.
Seeing that the sword light was ineffective, Ikaruga returned her long sword to its scabbard and took a drawing stance.
"Law Extinguisher!"
This was the swordsmanship magic her sister had taught her. Any magic is connected to the caster themselves; what she had to do was cut that connection!
"Found it!"
Her gaze narrowed as if she saw an invisible line. She instantly drew her sword and slashed; the approaching dark sphere collapsed in an instant, dissipating into dark magic power.
"In that moment, I lost control of my magic?"
Mirajane's eyes showed doubt, but she didn't pause for long before launching another attack.
There are so many types of magic; strange and unusual ones are bound to appear.
The two fought fiercely again. Ikaruga focused on speed and slashing, while Mirajane focused on defense and power. Although Ikaruga could land slashes on Mirajane's body, they didn't cause much damage, whereas a single punch from Mirajane would make Ikaruga suffer.
This situation was like an assassin against a warrior. The warrior could make many mistakes, but if the assassin was caught, it would be over.
"Her defense is very strong, and with the water blocking, it's hard to cause much damage."
Ikaruga felt it was difficult to perform in the sea. After knocking Mirajane back with a slash, she turned into a stream of light and rushed toward the surface.
Mirajane followed closely behind, turning into a beam of black light that soared into the sky. The entire sea surface erupted in a violent explosion, with water splashing high into the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two collided as streams of light. The clash of sword against demonic scales, magic power and sword qi raging—the already dilapidated island began to rapidly disintegrate and sink into the sea.
Chine stood on the rubble, watching the clash between the two, her eyes showing surprise: "Such strong magic power. Demon Take Over?"
This Fairy Tail really is full of experts. It seems they aren't just the strongest in Fiore, but the strongest in all of Ishgar.
Winter General Invel has been suggesting an invasion of Ishgar; he really should come to this continent and see for himself.
As time passed bit by bit, thirty minutes later, Ikaruga and Mirajane finally settled down.
Their strengths were evenly matched. The high-intensity battle had left both of them very tired, and they now began to back away warily.
"You two should admit defeat!"
Chine could already see that this group from Fairy Tail was very strange. They always liked to hold back a bit in battle; were they afraid they would kill their enemies?
Ikaruga was somewhat unwilling: "Sister, I can still..."
Chine interrupted, "Actually, you lost. That girl held back."
Her sister Ikaruga's magic power was bottoming out, but Mirajane still had a little strength left. The outcome between the two had already been decided.
Ikaruga looked at Mirajane abruptly and said in disbelief, "You didn't use your full strength?"
Mirajane had already shed her demon form and smiled gently, "It wouldn't be a competition if I used my full strength, would it? I'm also almost out of magic power."
Ikaruga looked helpless. Then why did you act so convincingly? I thought you were about to give out too.
"You win!"
This person is a real actor. She clearly still had strength but put on a weak and fainting act, making her feel like she could win if she just tried a little harder.
Fake, it's all fake!
This smiling person is too wicked!
Ikaruga asked, "What is your name?"
"Mirajane!"
"My name is..."
Mirajane smiled, "Your name is Ikaruga, and your sister is Chine!"
"Uh... right!"
Ikaruga was puzzled: "You actually remember?"
"The two of you, you and your sister, were able to defeat so many guilds. It left a deep impression."
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Ikaruga walked up to her, reached out her hand, and said, "I lost this time. Next time, after I've trained and become stronger, I'll challenge you again."
Mirajane reached out to shake her hand and smiled gently, "Anytime!"
Both of them shouted their surrender at the same time and disappeared as a flash of light.
