The magic power within the card erupted like a volcano, forming a powerful torrent that, under Cana's control, slowly converged onto her right arm.
This magic power, like a sturdy armor, tightly enveloped Cana's arm, bestowing upon her unparalleled strength.
Cana's eyes became sharp and resolute, her body slightly bent, with her waist as the core, concentrating all her strength into that magic-filled arm.
As Cana exerted her power, that arm became incredibly massive, like a towering mountain, imbued with endless might.
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, Cana swung a punch with all her might, striking the cube-shaped Demon Island fiercely.
The entire interior of Demon Island shook violently, as if a strong earthquake had occurred, sending chills down one's spine.
Kyoka, who was rushing out, seemed to sense something; her body reacted instantly, rapidly dodging to one side.
However, the Demon Soldiers following her failed to detect the danger in time and remained completely oblivious.
Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light streaked past from directly ahead like lightning, moving at extreme speed.
"Ah~~" The Demon Soldiers shrieked in terror, but it was too late.
Their bodies were instantly pierced by the beam of light, turning into ashes and vanishing without a trace.
The power of this beam was astonishing; it directly penetrated the cube and shot towards the distant sky beyond.
"Re-equip ~ Lightning Empress Armor."
Erza's hair became braided, and a ribbon was tied on her head. An armor with a light green base and lightning patterns directly attached itself to Erza's body.
Kyoka's eyes widened as she stared at the empty blue sky ahead, a hint of alarm rising in her heart.
With her extraordinary vision, she immediately spotted Erza holding the Lightning Empress Spear.
"Let's go!"
"Okay~"
Erza jumped down first, followed by Cana, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Lucy, Elfman, Lisanna, and others, who also leaped down one after another.
As soon as they landed on a platform, they saw Kyoka, one of the Nine Demon Gates, had been waiting for a long time.
"Among you trash, it seems there are still some decent fighters!" Kyoka's eyes fell on Erza, as her magic power was clearly the highest among the current group, earning her praise.
"Leave this place to me; the other demons are yours!" Erza held the Lightning Empress Spear, countless bolts of lightning roaring and shimmering with dazzling light.
She flashed, instantly appearing before Kyoka, her long spear striking towards Kyoka's face with a fierce momentum.
Seeing this, Kyoka's right hand fingers quickly transformed into sharp blades, easily blocking Erza's attack.
She seemed to have power to spare, as her left hand transformed into a magic whip, striking directly at the Fairy Tail members who were preparing to leave.
"You won't leave here!" Kyoka's voice was full of arrogance and disdain.
"Never!" Cana roared, flicking her finger, directly activating the card in her hand.
Instantly, countless gales roared, transforming into incredibly sharp wind blades that flew towards the magic whip like lightning.
These wind blades were extremely fast and powerful, cutting the magic whip into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Everyone took the opportunity to leave and deal with other demons, as they had great faith in Erza's strength.
At the same time, Erza also seized the opportunity, unhesitatingly activating the Lightning Empress Spear in her hand.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning surged from her long spear, forming a dazzling barrier of lightning that tightly enveloped Kyoka. This lightning barrier shimmered with intense light, as if it would reduce everything around it to ashes.
"Next, is our true battle!" Erza's eyes were filled with determination and resolve; she held the Lightning Empress Spear and once again charged into the lightning barrier, attacking Kyoka with a horizontal slash.
"Since you want to die first, then I'll grant your wish~" Kyoka blocked Erza's attack, then delivered a kick, forcing Erza to dodge.
"Electric attack~" Kyoka shouted, looking at the dodging Erza.
"Let me amplify your current!" She then laughed wildly, and as her words fell, she directly released countless currents with both hands, further enhancing the level of the lightning. Although Erza was wearing the Lightning Empress Armor, this amplified lightning caused a slight stinging sensation in the exposed skin and hair on her body.
"Next will be your most enjoyable moment~ Pain Amplification~ Hahaha" Kyoka's tone turned cold, and an inexplicable power emanated from her body, directly enveloping Erza.
That power was like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping Erza, rendering her unable to move an inch.
And at the same time, an intense wave of severe pain surged into Erza's heart, instantly spreading to every nerve ending.
In just an instant, Erza, who had been preparing for her next attack, stiffened, her eyes wide, and an expression of disbelief on her face.
She felt as if countless sharp needles were piercing her body, the pain unbearable.
"What... what is this..." Erza gritted her teeth, asking with difficulty.
She had never experienced such a painful sensation, and even breathing became difficult.
Kyoka looked at Erza's pained expression, the corners of her mouth curling slightly into a triumphant smile.
She knew that her Pain Amplification had taken effect, and Erza was now in extreme agony, unable to concentrate on fighting.
.....
On the other side,
Just then, Mirajane and Laxus arrived late, accompanied by the Thunder God Tribe's three members, Natsu, Gajeel, Levy, Ultear, Meredy, and others.
They had just gone to notify other Guild Members to prepare for battle, in case of an attack from the Alvarez Empire.
"Ahhh~ We're late, they've already gone in!" Natsu shouted anxiously.
"Let's go in quickly too, Happy!" He then said to Happy.
"Aye~" Happy cheered happily, directly grabbing Natsu's collar and flying into the large hole.
"Let's go too, Lily~" Gajeel shouted excitedly, clenching his fist.
"Mm~" Panther Lily also grabbed Gajeel, following closely behind Natsu, and together they entered Demon Island.
Levy glared angrily in the direction Gajeel had left, complaining discontentedly: "Honestly, Gajeel, these guys are always so unreliable, leaving me behind again!" She stomped her foot as she spoke, a hint of helplessness and grievance on her face.
"Haha, let's go in too, we can't let the boys get ahead!"
Ultear, seeing this scene, couldn't help but laugh. She walked to Levy and Meredy, holding one in each hand, then activated her magic. The ice beneath their feet rapidly rose, forming a gigantic ice rose that carried all three of them into the island.
"Laxus, we should set off too, we can't let them get ahead!" Tami urged Laxus anxiously, but Laxus seemed lost in thought, completely unresponsive to Tami's words.
He stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed forward, as if contemplating something important.
"What's wrong, Laxus, what are you thinking about!" Mirajane gently walked to Laxus's side and asked softly.
Laxus slowly came back to his senses, frowning, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "I'm thinking about that bastard Zorn! Don't know where he ran off to again!"
"Always so mysterious!" Laxus complained directly.
"Well, well! I didn't realize you couldn't do without Zorn, Laxus!" Mirajane, however, looked at Laxus's resentful expression and suddenly teased.
Unexpectedly, this remark instantly ignited Laxus's anger. He widened his eyes and roared: "What nonsense are you talking about, who can't do without that guy!"
His voice was deafening.
"Is Master Laxus actually missing Master Zorn?" Freed suddenly squatted on the ground, drawing circles and murmuring regretfully.
"What are you regretting, Freed!!!" Evergreen complained, fanning her forehead.
However, Mirajane was not intimidated by Laxus's imposing aura; instead, she smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I was just joking." She gently patted Laxus's shoulder, trying to appease his anger.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go!" Mirajane covered her mouth, laughing as she comforted him, then directly flashed into the air and stomped her foot.
During the Moonwalk, with the Demon Soul possessing her, her long tail flicked, and she swiftly rushed into the large hole.
Laxus's angry expression vanished, and lightning power surged throughout his body; he too transformed into lightning and charged into the large hole.
The Thunder God Tribe also followed closely behind Laxus, entering the hole.
...
Meanwhile, Zorn, after leaving the Council, was also rushing towards this place at an extremely fast speed, as there was a Pluton waiting for him to deal with here.
