Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

However, the entire space has completely changed.

As the strike dissipated.

The howling wind at the scene gradually subsided.

The roar subsided, and the scene returned to calm.

The turtledove stood still in place.

Her body was trembling uncontrollably.

The blade of the sword he gripped tightly in his hand was now covered in a dense network of cracks.

【boom……】

The blade could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered, turning into 3.4mm iron fragments that scattered across the ground.

A fine, dense sword mark appeared on the turtledove's neck.

The wound wasn't deep; it was just a minor cut to the skin.

But it is precisely because of this that it is even more terrifying.

This is practically a blatant message to the turtledove.

Erza possesses the ability to sever her head in an instant.

[It can even control the slash... to within millimeters.]

Just how terrifying is this thing?!

[Thump...]

The turtledove knelt weakly on the ground.

[He slowly lowered his head.]

"I...I lost..."

There was absolutely no objection.

[Ikaruga knew all too well that if Erza hadn't held back... he'd probably be in the same boat as Vidarudas, lying in a pool of blood not far away.]

[Truly...an incredibly astonishing monster!]
