Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Erza, along with Abram and Elfman, swept through the forest, clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers running rampant across the island.

There were quite a few of these grunts, but their strength was simply not up to par.

Erza took them down one by one with her sword, too lazy to even switch outfits, and simply pushed her way through in her basic armor.

Abba Grin occasionally unleashed a few more goblin lasers to finish off the attackers, while Elfman received the Beastmaster's Arm, his fists slamming into the ground and causing it to tremble.

The three-person team worked together more and more smoothly, clearing out a large area in the blink of an eye.

Just as Erza was getting into a good fight, she turned around and bumped into a girl with pink hair.

The other person stood in the shade of the tree, with no expression on their face, looking like a doll.

Erza's pupils contracted sharply when her gaze swept over the demon heart emblem on her body. She gripped her blunt wrist tightly and lowered it slightly, pointing the tip of her sword at the newcomer.

"You're the Seven Kin of Purgatory they've been talking about, aren't you?!"

Melty tilted her head expressionlessly, her tone as cold as if she were reading a report.

"Encountering the enemy during combat, eliminate them immediately. From now on, the highest priority is annihilation. Battle commence!"

The moment she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it, and eighteen magical flying swords appeared behind her, neatly arranged in a fan shape.

Then push your palm forward.

Eighteen flying swords shot towards Erza and her two companions in a dense array, their sharp, piercing sound cutting through the air.

Erza's eyes sharpened, and she drew several smooth arcs in front of her with her sword. In the flash of sword light, all the magical flying swords that shot towards her were cut in half, and the fragments turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air.

But Abba Greene and Elfman were not so quick to react.

Several flying swords struck the two of them squarely, and the shockwaves from the explosion of magic sent them flying backward.

Abba Green bumped her back against a big tree, groaned, and slid down, her glasses askew on her nose.

Elfman crashed into a bush, and when he struggled to get up, he still had a few broken leaves on his head.

Melty glanced at the three men's disheveled appearance, her tone remaining calm.

"Erza Scarlett, fifth place."

Then she glanced at Abba Grin and Elfman, and her lips twitched slightly.

"Elfman, Abba Grin, ah."

The "Heh" sound landed lightly, but its destructive power was even greater than the flying sword from before.

Abba Greene exploded instantly.

She sprang to her feet, veins throbbing on her forehead, her finger trembling as she pointed at Melty.

"Hey?! What do you mean?! What does 'heh' mean?! Explain yourself! What do you mean by 'heh'?!"

Enraged, she waved her hands, summoning countless little fairies that bombarded Melty relentlessly.

Melty remained calm and summoned more than a dozen magical flying swords, which spun rapidly around her, forming an impenetrable sword curtain.

Just as Melty was focused on defending the front, Elfman suddenly burst out from the bushes on the side.

He lowered his body, his legs kicking out a shallow crater in the ground.

He leaped high into the air, raising his two beast king arms above his head, his muscles taut and veins bulging, and slammed them down hard on Melty's head.

Never underestimate a man!

Melty didn't even turn her head, but just slightly shifted half a step to the side. Elfman's fists barely grazed her shoulders and slammed into the ground, creating a large crater and sending dirt and gravel flying everywhere.

The next second, the remaining magic swords behind her changed direction and stabbed at Elfman in unison.

With several muffled thuds, Elfman was riddled with thorns, his entire body pushed backward by the impact of the flying sword, finally crashing to the ground on his back, wincing in pain.

"Elfman!" Abba Green exclaimed.

Erza's eyes darkened, and she immediately switched to the Heavenly Wheel Armor.

Silver-white armor covered her entire body in the light, and several flying swords unfolded from her back. The swords whistled out and shot densely towards Melty, forcefully separating her from Elfman.

Melty jumped back a few steps, stood still, and suddenly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of provocation.

"Erza, don't you care about anyone?"

Erza paused, her hand still for a moment.

In that instant of hesitation, Melty's lips curled into a smile, and she activated her magic.

"Feeling connected."

A pink light shot out from her fingertips and precisely wrapped around Erza's wrist.

The light coiled and contracted, condensing into a chain-shaped mark on Erza's wrist, with a heart pattern embedded in the center of the chain.

Then, a chain reaction began.

High in the sky, Riyao suddenly felt a heat in his wrist.

He looked down and saw a chain-shaped heart mark appearing on his wrist.

Riyao blinked, then blinked again, looking completely bewildered.

He subconsciously rubbed the mark with his other hand, but it wouldn't come off and still emitted a faint pinkish glow.

At the same time, the same mark lit up in various places across the island.

Melty sensed the information returning from the magic, and her previously expressionless face finally broke down.

Her eye twitched.

No, is this right? Is this reasonable?

This means that all members of Fairy Tail have been connected?

You're being way too altruistic!

Melty took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the torrent of complaints surging in her mind, and shook her head.

Oh well, since we're already connected, we might as well catch them all at once.

She raised her hands, and behind her, countless magical flying swords once again materialized, doubling in number from before.

"Margaret Reiser".

The flying sword whistled out.

Erza raised her sword to parry, but the flying swords didn't even touch her blade; they pierced through her body and penetrated deep into her soul.

A sharp, piercing pain exploded from inside my body.

Erza groaned in pain, her knees buckled and she almost collapsed to her knees, a cold sweat instantly beading on her forehead.

At the same moment, cries of pain echoed throughout the entire Sirius Island, one after another, incessantly, creating quite a scene.

Melty maintained a blank expression, but the subtle curve at the corner of her mouth betrayed her smugness.

"It's no use. Margaret Rizer's attack is a direct mental attack; you can't defend against it."

Erza gritted her teeth and straightened her body.

She took a deep breath, and cold sweat slid down her cheeks.

"The same trick as Sunburst? Since we can't defend against it, then..."

A flash of light appeared on her body as she switched to the Pure Heart Robe. Holding a bladeless weapon, she slightly bent her knees and pushed off with her feet.

He rushed toward Melty at an incredible speed, creating a gust of wind.

Melty's pupils contracted sharply, completely unprepared for Erza's ability to retaliate so quickly after enduring a mental attack.

She instinctively tried to back away, but Erza was too fast.

The blunt blade slammed into Melty's side, sending her flying. Her body carved a long furrow in the ground and crashed into three or four trees before finally coming to a stop.

Melty clutched the spot where she had been hit, gasping in pain. She struggled to her feet, her knees trembling.

The effect of this sensory link was truly outstanding; one person was able to hold off all the enemy troops.

However, the magic power consumed was also ridiculously high. If this continued, my magic power would run out first.

We can't delay; we have to end this battle quickly.

She was just about to raise her hand to make the next move.

Erza was already standing beside her.

The hem of the Qingxin Robe was still fluttering in the wind when Wufeng slashed at Melty's neck without the slightest hesitation.

Since physical attacks can't stop mental attacks, then end the battle as quickly as possible, without giving the opponent a chance to make a second move.

Melty's eyes widened, and in that critical moment, she made a crazy move.

She also created a sensory connection with herself.

The blunt blade struck Melty's neck, and excruciating pain exploded instantly.

Then, through a chain reaction of sensory connections, the excruciating pain spread throughout the entire Sirius Island.

Once again, screams of agony echoed across the island, louder and more agonizing than the previous wave.

Just as this wave of screams had subsided...

A battlefield by the sea.

The pain caused to Makarov and Gildarts gave Hades the opportunity to blast them both away.

Makarov, supporting his aching back and rubbing the back of his neck, gasped for breath, his face crinkling into a deep frown.

"What the hell?! Sunrise has betrayed us?!"

He grimaced as he looked into the depths of the island, his mind filled with questions.
