Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 53 Knight vs. Knight

(P.S.: These chapters can be enjoyed with the background music of Erza vs. Erza.)

The powerful magic collided, creating a hurricane that seemed to tear the earth apart, swirling up grass roots and pebbles.

In the instant the storm subsided, as the rubble fell back to the ground.

With a flash of cold light, Erza, dressed in her usual armor, struck first, cleanly and efficiently swinging her sword as she charged toward Chess at incredible speed.

Chase stood motionless, his fingertips spinning a magic circle as he tossed a card toward Erza.

The card flashed with white light, and a dashing figure clad in steel armor leaped out from it, wielding a sword in her left hand and a crimson shield in her right, fearlessly meeting Erza's onslaught.

Clang!

Sparks flew and the crisp sound of swords clashing violently rang out.

"That's... the Queen Knight?"

"I see. Erza's magic is 'Knight,' so we used Knight to counter it. What a brilliant idea, Chase."

Someone from the guild recognized the female knight who was locked in a standoff with Erza.

"Queen Knight, your strength seems to have increased compared to before."

Erza gripped her longsword tightly to counteract the pressure that was constantly being transmitted, and looked along the blade at the person who had come.

"Because Master's magic power has increased, little Erza." The Queen Knight smiled calmly.

"Well, what if that's the case?!"

Erza raised her free left hand, drew another sword from her magical space, and slashed straight at the Queen Knight's side.

The Queen Knight's eyes narrowed slightly, and she reacted quickly by raising her crimson shield to block.

however……

puff.

With a muffled thud, Erza, who was supposed to be slashing down with her sword, suddenly changed her move, raised her long right leg clad in steel boots, and kicked the Queen Knight in the abdomen.

Although the Queen Knight's armor withstood the first wave of impact, Erza still managed to kick her backward repeatedly with a low shout and a sudden burst of strength, making it difficult for her to regain her balance.

Erza gripped her sword in a reverse grip, and just as she took a step to press her advantage, she suddenly looked up as if she sensed some kind of danger.

The shadow plummeted from mid-air, followed by a powerful golden blade.

Boom!

A blow from the sky slammed into the earth, instantly sending rocks flying and billowing smoke rising.

Deep within the thick smoke, Erza used several stylish backflips to create distance, holding her sword horizontally in front of her and looking straight ahead.

There, golden armor gleamed, and a strong man, also wielding a sword and shield, stood alongside the Queen Knight.

"Queen Knight, King Knight, and next up is..."

Erza narrowed her eyes and looked at Chess, who was holding up a card behind her.

Sure enough, after a flash of light, another man clad in armor appeared.

When Chase summons the King Knight and Queen Knight, he can summon the Prince Knight without consuming any magic power!

"If all three knights are gathered together, this armor might not be enough."

Erza has fought the Three Knights more than once and is very familiar with their fighting styles.

and so……

"Change outfit! Black Feather Armor!"

A crimson magic circle lit up, and Erza's armor turned into a slightly cool, jet-black tone. Black wings resembling bats sprouted from her back, and her high ponytail exuded a dashing and imposing aura.

"Black Feather: Moon Flash!"

Erza's speed increased significantly after donning the Black Feather Armor, and she flew almost skimming the ground, arriving in front of the three knights in an instant.

The prince knight at the forefront strode forward, raising his heavy shield high in an attempt to block Erza's slash.

However, the Black Feather Armor's special feature is that it can increase the destructive power of a single attack.

The heavy shield only withstood the slash for half a second before being cleaved into countless fragments by the sharp black blade!

At the same time, Erza, who had just unleashed a strike, was met with a flash of cold light from her left and right sides. The Queen Knight and the King Knight arrived together, their swords raised high, attacking from sharp angles and blocking all possible escape routes for Erza!

Despite the danger, Erza leaped high into the air with a light touch of her feet. Magic circles lit up on her legs, and her heavy steel boots transformed into two longswords, forcefully blocking the attacks of the Queen Knight and the King Knight.

Clang!

Swords clashed, sending sparks flying.

"Transformation! Flying Armor!"

A flash of white light, and the longsword transformed into nimble leather boots.

With adorable animal ears on her head, Erza leaped off the blades of the Queen Knight and the King Knight, using them as leverage.

With the rapid boost from the Flying Armor, she became a blur, bypassing the three knights and heading straight for Chase at the rear!

Through the fluctuations in magical energy, Erza keenly sensed that Chess was chanting a trap card.

As an S-rank member of the same guild, she naturally knew how troublesome the card magic was, so she wanted to get close to him as soon as possible and not give him a chance to safely "cover" the card!

The surrounding scenery rushed past, and Chess in Erza's field of vision grew closer and closer.

Just as she gripped the longsword tightly, she saw Chess calmly reveal the card held between his fingers.

Withered, yellowed bone wings unfurled, and a wicked, ferocious cursed dragon sped out from the lit magic circle, its open mouth already brimming with scorching flames.

A massive wave of flames swept out, completely engulfing Erza's tiny figure, and the plains behind it erupted with a scorching heat wave!

That's the Cursed Dragon's ultimate move—Hellfire!

"Erza?!"

Lucy, who was watching, felt the rapidly rising temperature around her and cried out in alarm as she looked at the area engulfed in flames.

Compared to the previous battle to wipe out Lalabai, Chess's card magic, Duelist's Soul, was even more terrifying to her.

"Don't worry, Lucy, since it's a fire attack..."

Mira smiled, her beautiful eyes reflecting the firelight, appearing quite calm.

The other members of the guild remained unmoved, and their emotions even rose as a result.

Lucy found it a little hard to understand, but Erza on the field readily provided the answer with her actions.

Whoosh!

A vertical blade of light sliced ​​the intangible wave of flames in half. Erza, now clad in fiery red armor and wielding the emerald longsword of the Sea King Armor, stood proudly amidst the raging flames!

"That's right! For fire attacks, use the Flame Emperor Armor with high fire resistance, plus the Sea King Sword which is effective against fire!" Loki added, continuing Mira's words.

Perhaps because the battle was so exciting, he didn't avoid Lucy, the Celestial Spirit Mage, as he usually did.

"You can do that?!"

Lucy stared blankly at Erza's sharp gaze, her understanding of magical combat completely transformed.

"Save your surprises for now; their battle has only just begun," Gray said casually.

During the brief pause in their conversation, the three knights summoned by Chase had already formed a battle formation and launched a charge against Erza.

Erza closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath to adjust her body rhythm.

When those beautiful eyes opened again, two pairs of white steel wings appeared behind her as the magic circle turned.

"Change outfit! Heavenly Wheel Armor!"

"Heavenly Wheel - The Blazing Sword!"

Sword light flashed, blade shadows danced, and four figures crisscrossed past.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of swords and shields shattering rang out.

With smiles of admiration and respect, the three knights, struck by the sword, vanished into countless specks of light.

Erza lowered her eyes, glanced at the twin swords and armor in her hands that were also shattered, and returned the three of them with a faint smile.

"Next up is the Cursed Dragon..."
