Chapter 59: Phantom Lord (9)
~Third POV~
Aria teleported away using his <Airspace> to avoid Erza's earlier strike as she glares hatefully at the person the rest stepped aside letting her handle Aira as she spoke, "What you did to Master is truly unforgivable. One man who dared to attack our father was none other than you!! You will pay dearly for your sin!"
Aria merely smiles instead of his sorrowful personality as he unravels his blindfold holding back his Magic Power and responding to Erza's anger, "Hehehehe… Never did I expect to get the chance to fight against Erza Scarlet herself. Well, if it's Erza that I'm fighting… Then I suppose I must get serious…"
*Fwp*
Unraveling his blindfold Gray, Mirajane, and Silva's eyes widen feeling the <Magic Pressure> Aria is producing as Erza remains calm as he finished, "Come on… Erza!! I will cast the Kukiki of death, <Zero>! This air will suck up your life!!"
His eyes start shining brightly as he readies to cast it, bringing his relaxed hands before him, the right one on top and the lower down, with their palms facing…
*Oooooo*
*Bzzt*
*Bzzt*
*Bzzt*
This prompts a very large, spiraling airspace to be generated before him, made visible by a large, smoky whirlwind, which he described as the airspace of death, capable of consuming all life as Aria grins happily, "Let the fun begin!!!"
However, Erza being fueled by anger at full strength reequips a sword from her pocket space dashing towards Aira intending to finish him crying out in rage, "Magic that sucks life, you say…? What makes it so easy for you cretins to steal people's lives?!!!!"
*Uu*
*Oooo*
Releasing a volley of <Zetsu> towards Erza as Aria extends one of his hands before him, its palm open, something which prompts a series of airspaces to be fired at her with much glee, "Let's see if you can withstand this kind of Kuiki!!"
Multiple barrages of compressed air with the airspace then explode on contact, generating small and yet powerful blasts, which intended to damage Erza…
*Shinng*
*Shinng*
However, she remains determined as she moves and curves away from the explosions as she cuts the air deactivating the spell's intended effects.
Aria's eyes widen in shock as Silva takes closer attention to how Erza manages to cut the air feeling the vibrations and sounds with his peak senses' his eyes widen as he mentally grins, 'So that's how huh?'
*Vwsh*
*Vwsh*
*Vwsh*
Aria takes a step back in shock witnessing his full power unleashed hasn't even phased or harmed Erza with his Air Magic in shock as she cuts the air, "Huh?! That's impossible!!! She's cutting right through the very air itself… wait…"
Before he could retaliate it was already too late as Erza changed reequipping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor with plated armor covering her chest, with a large metal flower over it, and she wears a large billowing skirt that has metal plating in the upper area. Her stomach and neck are uncovered, and she has large metal wings that appear to be made of individual blades, as well as a wing-like headpiece.
"<Blumenblatt>!!"
*Shiii*
Erza will Requip a mass number of swords, and then charge at her opponent and slice him or her with two of her swords. Then she will fly past her enemy and send the swords she Requip into the enemy at the same time.
*Kak*
*Zukak*
*Kak*
*Kak*
*Kak*
Each one of her swords scratched and tore through Aria's flesh as blood dripped from them Aria cried in pain with Erza wiping the blood off her blades turning around with a cold stare at him with a tone of disgust directed at him, "The Master should have never been taken down by an amateur like you!! Do yourself a favor go and erase your name from the annals of heroes right now!!!!"
*THUD*
Aria's body remained unconscious as Mira's fist bumps to the sky happy as the Abyss Spell has been stopped, "It's stopped!! We stopped the Abyss Spell from being cast!!!"
Gray felt relieved, but Silva merely looked up above the ceiling preparing for the next confrontation ahead…
/////
Elsewhere above the destroyed upper section of the Phantom Lord Mech Jose grits his teeth in pure anger seeing the Abyss Spell stop, "I don't believe it!!!!! Are you trying to say that Fairy Tail trash managed to defeat my Element 4?!!!"
Trembling in rage he talked to a nearby wounded member in silent rage, "Where's Gajeel with Lucy Heartfillia…"
One of the members trembled afraid to respond till one of them did about the reports, "Guild Master-r sir… Gajeel is preoccupied facing off against Salamander intercepting him before he could capture Miss Heartfillia sir-r…"
*BOOM*
Anger rising within Jose began to go downstairs with his Magic Power overflowing in rage as the other members stood back in fear seeing his expression, "If you want something done right you got to do it yourself. There are still some worms left inside MY guild. I'm going to inform them that they can no longer count on miracles to save them. I will exterminate them myself!!!!"
/////
Taking the moment to recuperate their strength and Magic Power everyone knew what to expect when they all felt an ominous sensation pass through them as phantom-like spirits crawled within the room.
*Uuu*
*Uu*
*Hyuu*
Everyone reacted to the vile evil magic nature being produced as cold sweat began to form on all of them with Gray first to speak out, "Wh—What is this feeling?!!"
Mirajane followed agreeing feeling chills running down her spine in a shocked tone, "Ernnn!! What an awful Magic Power…"
Erza kept her guard up realizing the shift of the air as Silva merely kept his eyes on Jose entering ignoring the phantoms swirling around as Jose makes his appearance, "Ah, yes. Well done, my lovelies!"
*Clap*
*Clap*
*Clap*
Clapping sounds could be heard as he reveals himself with Phantoms surrounding him injured and battered but clearly not deterred, "Honestly, I never thought you all would be this much pain of the ass to kill off!!!"
"MASTER JOSE!!!"
*BOOM*
Revealing his <Magic Pressure> the group unconsciously took a step back as Gray felt Jose power up close in disbelief, 'Is that… the Master of Phantom Lord's Magic Power?!!'
Mirajane places her hand over her mouth feeling sick from the nature of <Shade> magic power affecting her as she thought, 'That magic is the evilest stuff I've ever seen…!! Just facing it makes me nauseous!!'
Silva for the first time seeing a Wizard Saint power for the first time trembled in fear and excitement with a serious expression on his face, 'This Magic Power… it's freaking unbelievable… so this is the kind of power that a Wizard Saint wields…!!!'
*Kak*
*Kak*
Stepping forward Silva immediately raised his shield Ricochet up reading Jose's thoughts with Spectator as he arrogantly flaunts his power, "Now I must do something to punish you for the gift of returning my Jupiter Cannon fire you given me. Something apropos."
Ghostly phantoms all began to converge around his arms as Erza calls out in concern to get away, "Dodge it!!!"
*Bzzt*
*Bzt*
Releasing a Magic Thunderbolt from his arm aiming at Silva, Mira, and Gray the attack was fast but brushing ahead of them with Ricochet to take the hit as he began to skid back as the Magic Shield began to take the attack and reflect it back to sender.
But Jose wasn't done as he moves his hand in an arc before him, engulfing a large area in an explosion following the same pattern as his hand using <Dark Pulse>.
*BOOM*
However, Gray managed to notice it with Silva taking the hit making a shield to defend from the attack using his magic to protect Mira, "<Ice Make: Ice Shield>!!!"
*KRAK*
<Dark Pulse> soon proved too much for Gray as he was sent flying with his shield destroyed in a matter of seconds Jose scoffs at defending but noticed the Thunderbolt returning to him as he took a step to the side to avoid it.
*Woosh*
Not taking any chances Erza rushed ahead Reequipping into her Black Wing Armor as this armor increases Erza's offensive capabilities, and she uses it in conjunction with any number of weapons to deal her enemy great damage.
*Shinng*
*Bwaah*
Avoiding the first sword strike Jose grabbed Erza by the ankle surprising her as he began to throw her to a nearby wall to disorient her –
*BOOM*
*WOOSH*
Suddenly appearing in a burst Jose noticed Silva already in swinging distance using <Slashing Form> in an attempt to catch him off guard using <Mana Burst> to rush him in the fight but Jose instead used Erza as a projectile weapon in his direction causing Silva to stop his attack.
*Dowoo*
They both were thrown to a nearby wall breaking it through but regained their bearing as they used the falling debris as platforms returning back to the fight standing side by side with Jose's annoyed expression shown between the two, "You both are annoying pestering bugs that need to be squashed underfoot!! I will see to it that you both die by hands along with your friends to see your lifeless bodies!!"
Erza glared at Jose for such words with energy to spare unafraid of his threat with blood on her head trickling down holding her Black Wing Sword with determination in her voice, "Physical pain means nothing when I fight for the ones I love!! You shall fall today Jose!!!"
Silva panting remained calm despite the situation and under pressure facing an incredibly strong opponent like Jose keeping his distance as he used <Observe> to see his level with beads of sweat forming on his face.
[Jose Porla Lv.250 The Wizard Saint]
Silva responded with a confident grin on his face taunting Jose to give into his anger announcing himself the cause of his current stats once he realized who was the one to make all his plans fail, "Haaaa… the look on your face clown… How does it feel to know that all your scheming has been outdone by yours truly? Tell me what the taste of defeat sounds like when you lose to a weakling like me. Because let me tell you this… you fucked up messing with Fairy Tail!"
Despite calling himself out Silva was hoping that Jose would make mistakes giving in to his anger and waiting for a chance for him or Erza to find an opening to strike back in his enraged state.
Jose's eyes turned black as his irises turned purple with anger swelling by Silva's provocation grinning evilly at the two, "I mess up? What foolishness. What would an insect like you do to someone great as I!!! You are a weakling that doesn't deserve to stand on such a stage. Erza here is more than ready to fight and praiseworthy more than you brat!! Such arrogance will lead to your own end!!"
*Bzzt*
Raising his Ricochet up to defend himself again protecting himself from the thunderbolt attack reflecting it back at Jose him dodging to the side as Erza rushed him using <Moon Flash> intending to cut him only to use his <Spade> Magic to form a Phantom like shield as it clashes with her Sword Magic.
*Klak*
Sparks flew as Erza stepped back using her Black Wing Armor wings to fly back. Jose raises his two fingers up as rumbling sounds could be heard from beneath them as pillars of destructive darkness erupted.
*BOOM*
*GOOM*
*GRUNCH*
*DOKOOM*
Avoiding the uprising ruble of the sudden the both of them began to move quickly with Silva using Mastema to easily evade for long periods with Erza incorporating quick dashes with her wings to avoid them.
/////
Gray managed to get up as he shielded Mirajane with his body looking at the two fighting Jose as he clenches his fist, "Damn it… those two are managing to fight Jose alone I have got to help…"
Before he could respond Mirajane tapped his shoulder gesturing to a rising Aria wounded as she gives Gray another objective, "In that case how about dealing with Aria then? With Erza and Silva handling Jose if Aria uses his Magic against them in his <Airspace> taking their Magic Power will be in a very bad situation!!"
His eyes widen as Aria tumbles a bit getting up as he readies for a fight creating an ice barrier separating the fights as he prepares against Aria beginning to cast <Airspace>, "I may not be able to help Erza and Silva… but I can do the very least beat you so that you won't hurt my friends!!"
Aria could only glare at the two despite being weakened form his earlier clash with Erza he prepares for combat with evident anger in his tone, "Very well then… I'll have to kill you to get her!! SO BE IT!!!"
