"I can't give it to you!" Kagura placed her hand on the sword hilt, frowning, "That's meant for my brother!"
Gravity Magic suddenly activated, and just as Erza jumped up, she was immediately pressed down by the strong gravity, her feet creating deep pits in the ground upon landing.
"Gravity Magic?" Erza turned her head in surprise, Simon's sister seemed remarkably powerful.
Simon: "..."
He suddenly regretted allowing his sister to participate.
The moment Kagura made a move, not only Erza, but the other girls nearby also suffered.
Lisana, Ibarglin, and Magic Bird Xiaobi, though finding fortune in misfortune by breaking free from the pink wool clump, were still left falling to the ground with a thud.
Xiaobi was dizzy from the fall, while Lisana and Ibarglin were reminded of the enemy they once faced on Celestial Wolf Island.
Perhaps not as powerful as that person.
Mirena, however, proudly stated, "Shenle isn't even taking it seriously yet, meow."
At this moment, a metallic chain on the roof snapped with a clang, a massive chandelier being dragged down by unknown multiplied gravity, causing it to fall with a whistling sound.
Lucy and Reby rolled and scrambled out of the danger zone, watching the chandelier shatter the floor, their hair standing on end in fright.
Lucy slammed the floor, almost in tears, "This is too much! Isn't this supposed to be about grabbing the bouquet? How did it turn into a full-blown battle!"
No chance of grabbing anything from these monsters!
Reby teased her good friend, "Lu, you also summoned the Zodiac Spirits just now, so you can't complain..."
"I was just..." Lucy felt guilty, then a bit strange, "Was I just teased? By Reby?"
Kagura took a big stride forward, lightly leaping through the gravity zone, a rare smile on her lips, "Got it."
"I won't lose to Gravity Magic again!" Wendy suddenly seemed like a normal Fairy Tail member, inexplicably igniting her fighting spirit, "Sky Dragon's Wave Wind!"
She pushed away two elder sisters pressing on her, struggling to break free from gravity's constraints, using magic to create a whirlwind.
The bouquet was blown higher into the air, causing Kagura, who had just jumped up, to miss.
"You said you didn't want to grab it, can't do anything about you." Carla decided to help Wendy, spreading her wings and swiftly flying towards the high bouquet.
Yet she also missed, the bouquet seemingly flying on its own, oddly veering past.
"What's going on?" Carla rubbed her eyes, noticing a semi-transparent Spirit Body holding the bouquet in flight.
This magic... It's an 'Urban Legend'!
Carla thought of someone in their guild not very present: "Miss Qico?"
"Spirit Bodies can fly too, and they aren't afraid of gravity at all," Qico smiled as she unveiled her open hands to greet the lovely Spirit Body.
This girl wasn't very noticeable in the guild, and Carla connecting the magic with her was mainly because she and Wendy owed her family rent.
"Too naive, Qico!" Ginanna stood directly behind Qico, stretching her hands overhead.
The otherwise plain Qico felt something soft engulf her back head, suddenly receiving a ton of psychological damage.
As a 28-year-old adult woman, she and Reby, Wendy are actually the same type, but she prides herself on maturity, and dislikes playing with them together.
Possibly also to avoid touching upon the sorrowful scenes.
At any rate, being disoriented, the small Spirit Body immediately vanished, the bouquet losing its support beginning to fall, deviating from its original trajectory.
Ginanna, not yet realizing her inappropriate action, hurriedly bypassed Qico in pursuit.
"Receiving·Mechanical Soul!" Yet a red shadow surpassed her, reaching the bouquet's landing spot.
Jenny elegantly brushed her long golden hair, now wearing a very sexy combat outfit, arms and calves fully mechanized, looking both beautiful and confident:
"To think I'd resort to my combat form in such a situation. But Mirajane's bouquet is still best left to someone who also uses Receiving Magic like me."
"I'm not giving it to you!" ×2
Erza and Jubia charged simultaneously, both shoulders ramming into Jenny's left and right.
The Mechanical Armor shattered with a crack, Jenny shot backward like a cannonball, flying straight to Rhode and Mira on stage.
As acquaintances, specifically invited friends, Rhode felt obliged to catch her, so he looked at Mira.
Mira knowingly nodded, wrapping Rhode's waist as she pivoted, moving him aside, watching with a grin as Jenny flew past and embedded into the back wall.
Rhode was astounded; such fragile sisterhood!
Mira reassured, "It's alright, Jenny's full mechanized armor isn't easily damaged."
Looking between Jenny and Mira, Rhode asked, "Dear Mrs. Luo, doesn't saying that make your conscience hurt?"
The armor already shattered, didn't it?
"Ah~ah~ believe Erza and Jubia knew their limits," Mira winked at Rhode, her conscience untouched.
Trusting your buddies to fight with restraint is like believing pigs can climb trees.
Erza and Jubia's eyes were evidently red, with one clad in the recently repaired Sea King's Armor, and the other already turned to water.
The green armor and blue water being were evenly matched, the Magic Power they unleashed suffocated the nearby girls attempting to approach, forcing them to back away silently.
Only Kagura, wielding an unsheathed Samurai Sword, joined the fray, temporarily holding a slight advantage in a one-on-two.
Erza called out softly, "I absolutely must obtain it!"
"You are strong, but for Master Gray, Jubia must triumph!"
Kagura's gaze sharpened, "I've already decided to give it to my brother!"
Simon: ... Actually, he didn't want it that much, giving it to Erza would've been great.
The 'battlefield' now dominated by these three girls, others could hardly intervene.
Their clashing Magic Power ripped the carpet underfoot, blew away the greenery lining the floral path, and flipped the tables and chairs in the distance.
Lucy and Reby embraced each other, trembling, Ibarglin and Laki defended against flying debris, while Wendy, holding onto Carla, hid in a corner.
Just having pried herself from the wall, Jenny, after reproaching Mira, wanted to re-enter the fray, but rationality deterred her.
Boom!
As the bouquet was about to land overhead, the trio suddenly burst forth, creating a web of cracks on the floor beneath before leaping up, reaching out towards the target.
Yet as their fingertips touched the bouquet's ribbons, they struck one another and got blown away.
Jubia and Kagura showed expressions of shock, watching their hands move further away from the bouquet.
Only Erza truly grabbed the ribbon on the bouquet!
With a joyful expression, Erza let her body fall backward, but that bouquet couldn't withstand any more stress.
The bow tied with the ribbon unraveled, spreading apart flowers under the impact of Magic Power in Erza's despairing eyes!
