Chapter 490: I Have a Special Trick (Second Update)
Chapter 490: I Have a Special Trick (Second Update)
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me! Burn to death, Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu, who had been thrown and crashed into a house by the storm, roared as he flipped back to his feet. A dragon's head Magic array appeared in front of him, and immediately, a massive dragon fire was unleashed.
On the other side, Gray, who had also been thrown, unleashed his own ultimate move:
"Ice Make: Lancer!"
Countless ice lances shot out from Gray's Magic array, hurtling fiercely toward Erigor.
"I am Erigor, the Reaper, not someone you lowly worms can stand against."
Faced with the fiery and icy attacks from both sides, Erigor remained calm. With a roar, he swung his scythe in a blur, and a large Magic array appeared around his body:
"Wind Magic: Gale Cloak!"
A powerful gale instantly formed and transformed into a special storm armor, enveloping his body.
Whether it was Natsu's scorching dragon fire or Gray's icy spears, they were all deflected by the strong airflow within the storm armor, veering off course and striking other areas, unable to harm Erigor in the slightest.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deflected dragon fire and ice spears hit the ground, and the powerful destruction of the ice and fire Magic turned a nearby area of the train station into ruins.
"Thank goodness everyone in the city has fled!"
Lucy, standing on the rooftop of the train station, sighed in relief as she looked at the destroyed houses.
The battles between mages were extremely dangerous, and if encountered, it was a basic rule for all ordinary people in this world to immediately leave the area.
So when they saw the train station enveloped in a massive tornado, the city's residents did not foolishly gather to watch the spectacle but instead fled the city as quickly as possible.
As long as their lives were saved, issues with property like houses would be fully compensated by the government and the Council.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing Erigor so easily deflect their ultimate moves, Natsu and Gray exclaimed in shock simultaneously.
"It's useless. Your fire and ice can't break through my wind. Die!"
Erigor laughed loudly, and with his hands, he created identical Magic arrays, one aimed at Natsu and the other at Gray:
"Gale Slash!"
Countless sharp wind blades rained down on Natsu and Gray.
Natsu enhanced his speed with flames on his feet, dodging as much as possible, while Gray used his Shape Magic to create an ice shield, barely holding it up.
"This won't work. At this rate, they won't be able to get close, let alone defeat Erigor!"
On the rooftop of the train station, the experienced Erza watched Natsu and Gray, who were completely on the defensive, and a worried expression crossed her face.
Then, as if she had an idea, she turned to look at Jerry, who was standing there calmly:
"Jerry, do you have any ideas?"
In fact, compared to Erigor, who was outside the Magic Wind Wall, Erza, as an S-class mage, had a deeper impression of how Jerry broke the wall.
For a moment, she sensed a terrifying Magic power fluctuation from Jerry.
But the fluctuation was brief, leaving her unsure if she had imagined it.
Therefore, while Erigor believed Jerry had used a clever trick to break the Magic Wind Wall, Erza was more inclined to think that Jerry might be a wind mage with hidden S-class strength.
"I can use a special trick to break through his Gale Cloak."
Jerry nodded.
Since Erza had offered to help, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
However, he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself by immediately casting a "Gale" Magic to create a super tornado and sweep the opponent away.
If he did that, it wouldn't take long for his name to catch the eye of the major powers in this world.
For now, he just wanted to focus on studying Magic without drawing too much attention.
So, he extended his hand again and pointed at Erigor. A gentle green wind flew from his fingertips and quickly merged into Erigor's Gale Cloak.
Then, just like the Magic Wind Wall before, Erigor's powerful defensive Magic, the Gale Cloak, crumbled and turned into a gentle breeze that brushed past his face.
This sudden turn of events left Erigor momentarily stunned.
"Now!"
Natsu and Gray, who had been struggling to maintain their defense, saw the opening. The Gale Cloak that had kept them at bay was now gone, and they immediately launched a counterattack.
"Ice Make: Net!"
"Fire Dragon's Iron Horn!"
First, Gray used the Ice Make: Net to trap Erigor, preventing him from using wind Magic to escape. Then, Natsu, with flames bursting from his body, charged at Erigor at high speed to deliver the final blow.
"What? How can this be happening!"
Caught off guard, Erigor was severely injured by the well-coordinated attack from Gray and Natsu. With a mix of frustration and disbelief, he crashed through several buildings before passing out.
He couldn't understand how his seemingly flawless plan had led to such an outcome.
As Erigor was sent flying, the three-eyed skull-shaped Cursed Flute in his hand was thrown and landed on the road directly opposite the train station.
"Yes, we won!"
Seeing Natsu and Gray finally defeat the formidable Erigor, who had seemed like a Reaper, Lucy couldn't help but jump for joy on the train station rooftop.
For her, today's experience had been incredibly intense and thrilling.
Unlike the previous two missions, which involved just defeating a beast and stealing a book, this time they had faced an entire Dark Guild, where the opponents were ruthless Dark Mages.
If they had failed, it could have led to the shocking event of all the Magic Guild Masters being cursed to death, a disaster that would have shaken the entire kingdom.
"The Cursed Flute's seal has been broken. We need to take it to the Master as quickly as possible and find a way to reseal it!"
Erza, who had regained some of her Magic Power, stood up again.
"Thank you, Jerry!"
"No problem, no problem. I just know a few tricks with wind Magic that happened to work against him. It was just luck."
Jerry waved his hand, deflecting the credit to Natsu and Gray.
Lucy, who was still a bit confused, tried to reassure him:
"Jerry, you're already amazing. You know the Time Arc Magic, can fly, use Shadow Magic, and even wind Magic. You're the Mage I've seen who knows the most types of Magic!"
But after a few words of comfort, she realized that Jerry knowing so many types of Magic didn't make him need comforting. The one who truly needed reassurance was herself, the weakest among them, who had barely contributed.
