"Let me see how far your pain can be amplified~" Kyoka revealed a cruel smile, stepping closer to Erza, who was already bent over in pain.
As she approached, Erza's expression became increasingly twisted and unbearable.
However, Erza did not succumb to the pain. She gritted her teeth and declared, "Damn it~ For Everyone of Fairy Tail, how could I possibly lose in such a situation!"
Erza endured the intense pain, straightened her body, and a dazzling light shone from her.
Her hair instantly transformed into a ponytail, and her clothing changed to red-based pantaloons with yellow flame patterns and a few white flowers, while her upper body was tightly wrapped in bandages.
At the same time, the Demon Sword Benisakura appeared in Erza's hand. Erza exerted a slight force and swung it fiercely, a red-black blade aura shot out like lightning, striking Kyoka with a sharp momentum.
"Crushing Claw!" Kyoka roared, her eyes firm and resolute.
"Hahaha, in your state, what kind of attack can you even unleash~" Kyoka laughed maniacally at Erza's extremely painful appearance, completely disregarding Erza's attack.
Kyoka fearlessly hardened her claws to an iron-like rigidity, then unhesitatingly charged towards Erza's blade aura, ready to meet the blow with a tough stance.
However, just as her claws were about to make contact with the blade aura, her body involuntarily stopped abruptly, then instinctively bent backward, narrowly dodging the fierce attack.
With a thunderous roar, the entire passage behind Kyoka was forcefully split in half, as if a bolt of lightning had streaked across the sky, astonishing all.
"What is this? This attack..." Kyoka's eyes widened, staring at Erza in astonishment, her heart filled with doubt and shock.
Why had she not felt any danger just now, yet in an instant, she had encountered such a powerful attack?
She couldn't help but feel a chill of fear; if she hadn't reacted in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Even more surprising to her was that when she looked down, she found her claws had been cleanly severed, and the scales that had covered her entire body had shattered and fallen off.
Her pupils contracted sharply, unable to believe the scene before her.
"This woman!!!" Kyoka's gaze was fixed on Erza, her eyes flashing with anger.
She seemed to finally understand the possibility of Jackal's failure.
What kind of existence is the Fairy Tail Guild?
"Erza~" A worried female voice called out. Meldy ran over, and seeing Erza's pained expression, she rushed over to try and support Erza.
"Ah~" But as soon as her palm touched Erza, Erza's extreme pain transmitted, startling Meldy into immediately retracting her hand.
"What's going on~" Meldy was also flustered.
"Is another one here to die? This is pain amplification; even a slight breeze causes unimaginable pain!"
"I can increase it another level; there's no need for any direct confrontation with you!" Kyoka thought of something amusing, extended one hand, and clenched her fist.
"Ah~~~!" Erza immediately collapsed, her face contorted in even more intense pain, using her Demon Sword to support herself so she wouldn't fall.
Meldy also cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha!" Kyoka laughed maniacally at the sight, gloating and enjoying her torment of Erza.
Erza gritted her teeth, sweat dripping from her forehead. She struggled to resist the intense pain, but her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Feeling? As long as it's a feeling, then~ it's too simple!" Meldy endured the pain, speaking in a broken voice.
"As long as I connect Erza's feelings to you!!!"
"Sensory Link!" With a loud shout from Meldy, she unleashed her magic, and a red ring quickly appeared on her right hand.
At the same time, identical red rings immediately appeared on Erza's and Kyoka's hands.
This meant their senses had been successfully linked together.
"Ah~"
Kyoka instantly collapsed in pain, sweat immediately pouring from her forehead.
This pain, this pain....
How could she still remain standing? Even as a demon, she could no longer bear it.
Looking at Erza, who maintained her firm will, was still standing, and was struggling to raise her sword, she felt incredible.
At this moment, under the effect of Meldy's magic, the three of them had their senses intimately connected.
This meant that whenever Erza suffered any injury or pain, Kyoka would feel several times that pain.
"Damn it~" Kyoka snarled, instantly releasing the pain amplification. Meldy and Erza were also freed, gasping for breath and taking deep breaths.
"With you here, sensory deprivation can't be used either~"
"Since that's the case, I'll deal with you first!" Kyoka roared, immense curse power erupting from her, and under the effect of this terrifying curse power, her body slowly transformed into a demon form.
But this powerful curse power did not stop; instead, it grew stronger every moment.
Kyoka's body was gradually enveloped by a black aura, and her eyes shimmered with an evil light. White feathers spread from her neck, sharp claws extended from her fingers, and her body was covered in purple scales, exuding a terrifying aura.
As her curse power continuously increased, Kyoka's strength also kept rising.
"Hahahahaha…" Kyoka laughed madly, her voice filled with frenzy and cruelty. Her gaze locked onto Erza and Meldy, her eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Her speed became faster, her attacks fiercer, and her defense stronger.
"Die!!!" Kyoka let out a furious roar, her demon claws began to grow infinitely, then with a powerful swing, countless sharp blades flew from her attack, raining down densely towards Erza and Meldy.
Facing such a powerful attack, Erza showed no fear, gripping her sword tightly, she used all her strength to unleash countless fierce blade auras.
The two supreme attacks met in the air, colliding instantly. In a flash, the entire passage vibrated violently, and rubble fell everywhere.
It was on the verge of collapsing.
Erza hurriedly took Meldy and jumped out through a newly opened gap nearby, avoiding being hit by falling rocks.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Kyoka roared, her figure flashing like lightning as she rapidly pursued them, her attacks ceaseless and continuously assaulting Erza and Meldy.
She chased them all the way to the open ground outside, where it was extremely spacious with no obstacles blocking the view.
