Chapter 519: Torture to the Point of Doubting Life (Third Update)
Bunny and Sol were stunned by the sheer strength and reach of their adversary's magic, yet they remained confident that after Gajeel and Juvia's relentless assaults, their opponent would be on the brink of defeat.
Meanwhile, they had hardly used any Magic Power and were well-rested, so they were confident they could win the two-against-one battle!
Thus, the two of them began to unleash various Magic spells and charged towards Jerry's location.
One minute earlier.
Fifty meters in front of the Magnolia Hospital's entrance.
Levy, wearing glasses, was deeply analyzing the Rune Wall that had materialized in mid-air.
Lucy, on the other hand, had summoned the Taurus Spirit, Taurus, who, along with Jed and Troy, stood guard around Levy, ready to prevent any enemies from getting close.
"This spell is very complex. It will take me at least two minutes to decipher it."
Levy, her forehead beaded with sweat, continued to analyze the spell as she spoke.
"Two minutes, Jerry, you have to hold on!"
Lucy pulled out her small leather whip, listening to the loud booms coming from inside the hospital. She silently prayed for Jerry while preparing to engage in hand-to-hand combat if necessary.
To compensate for the weakness of Psychic Mages, who can't fight without their Spirits, she had learned some close-combat techniques from Erza.
However, only about fifteen seconds had passed when a dark figure flew out from the second floor of the hospital.
"Be careful, it's the Iron Dragon, Gajeel!"
Their first thought was that Gajeel had broken through Jerry's defenses and was coming to stop them from deciphering the spell.
They all tensely moved to protect Levy, standing in front of her.
To their surprise, although Gajeel flew out quickly, his direction seemed off. Instead of flying straight towards them, he veered downward slightly.
This caused him to crash into the ground halfway through his flight, and then slide for about twenty meters, leaving a long furrow in the earth before coming to a stop in front of them.
"Does he seem off?"
Jed, looking at the motionless Gajeel about five meters in front of them, said uncertainly.
"He does seem off, it looks like he's passed out!"
Troy cautiously stepped forward a few paces and kicked Gajeel over, only to find that Gajeel's face was bruised and swollen, and he was clearly unconscious.
Lucy, standing behind them, recalled the scene when they left, where Jerry had punched Gajeel flying.
"He might not be here to attack us; he was just knocked out and flew over here again."
Before they could marvel at the fact that Jerry had managed to defeat the terrifying Gajeel in a one-against-four situation, a massive explosion came from the hospital.
Immediately after, a blizzard erupted from the ground floor of the hospital, instantly turning half the city in front of them into a snow-covered landscape.
The source of the blizzard was Jerry, standing on the first floor, holding a Golden Flask and seemingly wearing a new set of armor.
"Jerry's Golden Zodiac Armors are just too powerful!"
Lucy, looking at the white expanse in front of her, almost dropped her Golden Keys.
The night before, at Jerry's house, Jerry had shown everyone his Golden Zodiac Armors and explained their general abilities. At the time, Lucy had thought the armors were beautiful and ornate.
Especially since the armors were named after the Zodiac Signs, she found them particularly endearing.
She had even thought about saving up money to have a set made for her own Spirits to wear.
However, neither she nor the others had truly believed that the armors would be so powerful, or as strong as Erza's armors.
The power of an Armored Mage is indeed related to the armor, but more importantly, it depends on the mage's own abilities.
For example, the same Thunder Emperor Armor in the hands of an ordinary mage might only produce a few electric sparks capable of stunning a person, but when wielded by Erza, it can devastate a small town.
Jerry has only been learning Armored Magic from Erza for less than a month so far.
In hindsight, they have clearly underestimated Jerry's strength and learning ability.
Whether it's the Taurus Armor that boosts strength or the Aquarius Armor that can unleash a blizzard, Jerry has demonstrated S-class, or even beyond S-class, capabilities.
For some reason, although Lucy is very surprised by the current situation, she feels it is somehow natural after calming down.
This is because every time Jerry claims to have a basic understanding, his actual performance far exceeds that.
So, this situation seems to fit as well!
Perhaps sensing the gazes of Lucy and the others, Jerry put away the Golden Flask and turned his head, showing a reassuring smile.
"Keep working on the decryption. You don't need to come over and help. There are still two left, and I'll try to hold them off for a while longer!"
Lucy glanced at Levy, who was still diligently working on the decryption, not daring to look back even with all the commotion, for fear of wasting time.
She suddenly had a feeling that before Levy finished decrypting, Jerry might already have subdued all the opponents.
But as soon as this thought crossed her mind, she immediately shook her head to dispel it.
Even though Jerry, with the armor, has the strength of an S-class mage, he is facing four S-class mages, all of whom are well-known.
It's already impressive that Jerry has taken down two of them.
Moreover, that snow Magic he used earlier must have consumed a significant amount of magic power. With the remaining two mages charging at him, the situation is far from optimistic.
At this point, it might be more realistic to hope that Jerry can hold off one more, while they manage to handle the last one, giving Levy the time she needs to decrypt the runes.
Ignoring the rich inner monologues of Lucy and the others, Jerry continued to focus on Thor and Bunnyman, who had just emerged from the snow.
"Die, Colossal Fist!"
"Rainbow Magic: Blue Flame!"
Thor and Bunny, wary of engaging Jerry in close combat, immediately launched probing attacks as soon as they were within range.
Thor condensed a massive stone fist, which descended from the sky, aiming to crush Jerry into a pulp. Bunny, on the other hand, used the icy blue flame from the Rainbow Magic, turning it into a pillar of fire that shot towards Jerry.
Jerry's body flashed with a golden light.
"Armored — Virgo!"
Today, with four S-class mages of decent strength, he wanted to experiment with how effective his twelve sets of Golden Zodiac Armors could be in combat, relying solely on providing magic power without using any Magic himself.
"Immovable Guardian!"
Wearing the Virgo Armor, he made the Immovable Guardian seal, activating the Iron Armor Rune on his palm, which enveloped him in a transparent protective shield.
