Chapter 52 Chase VS Erza
Chapter 52 Chase VS Erza
At Chess's house.
Chase and the Dark Magician Girl stood by the window, watching Lucy, whose body radiated tangible resentment, gradually disappear into the distance. The two exchanged a smile.
"Lucy is much cuter when she's full of energy."
Chess sighed deeply, "As expected, I still can't stand seeing girls cry."
The dark magician girl leaned against the window frame with one hand, tilting her head and staring blankly at Chess.
"So you made her angry, Master," she muttered.
She had originally intended to give away that pink dumbbell as a gift, and she never expected that Chase would change his mind at the last minute and accept that insignificant little bit of money.
—As the one in charge of Chase's secret stash, she knew very well how much money Chase currently had.
"Haha, didn't you just cooperate with me?" Chase laughed.
He naturally didn't care about Lucy's money; it was just that, given the circumstances, this method would allow Lucy to recover from her grief in the shortest amount of time.
"Who told you to be my master?" The dark magician girl smiled faintly.
After hearing Lucy's story, she gained a deeper understanding of this optimistic and sarcastic girl.
"I didn't force you, don't try to pin this on me."
"Speaking of which, Lucy looked so sexy just now, you must have been tempted, right?"
Who knows?
"Hmph! I'm very angry right now. If you coax me a little, I might reluctantly warm your bed for you."
"You've got a real scheme going on, taking advantage of me while also getting something for nothing."
"No wonder Lucy called you a deadbeat! Die!!"
Boom!
Watching the girl vanish into specks of light, Chase rubbed the bump on his head and sighed helplessly: Life's tough...
--------------
The next day.
Lucy, lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Perhaps influenced by Chase's words last night, she just had a dream in which Chase, transformed into a giant monster, blasted the Heartfilia family's castle and backyard (the back mountain) away with a single punch, and was then imprisoned by the council.
Then, the council branch also flew away, and Chase stood on the ruins like a demon king, laughing heartily...
"That was terrifying, thank goodness it was just a dream."
Lucy rubbed her head, slapped her cheeks, and regained her usual energy and vitality.
"I need to find some work to do today, otherwise I might not even be able to pay the rent."
Lucy rolled out of bed, muttering to herself as she walked out of the room into the living room.
Then she saw a naked pervert sitting on his sofa like an emperor!
"Yo Lucy, good morning."
Gray greeted him, raised the pink dumbbell in his hand, and said in surprise, "This is really unexpected. I didn't know you had such a strange hobby."
"What the hell! Chase forced that on me, and it cost me 28,000 J! 28,000!"
Realizing what was happening, Lucy transformed into a fanged demon, angrily demanding, "Unauthorized entry is one thing, but could you please not take your clothes off in my house?!"
"Huh? No, that's not true. I took off my clothes before coming in," Gray explained seriously.
"Is this the point I was trying to make?! If you have nothing else to say, get out of here!!"
"I came to see you because I needed something."
Gray slowly put down the pink dumbbell in his hand, looked at the flustered Lucy, and said, "Remember when Erza agreed to challenge Natsu when you formed the team? They're ready to start now."
"But this isn't worth paying attention to, since Natsu will only get instantly killed anyway."
"The important thing is that Chess and Erza have also agreed to a duel, which is a very rare clash between two S-rank guild mages!"
Erza and Chesgo?!
Lucy instantly perked up, no longer caring about the trivial matter of Gray's illegal entry, and immediately changed her clothes, washed up, and went out.
Friendly sparring between S-rank guild members not only enhances the combat experience of both sides, but also provides other guild members who are watching with the opportunity to learn and gain insights.
Therefore, Makarov not only did not stop it, but actually strongly supported the battle.
As the temporary host, he led the entire guild to the outskirts of town—Magnoria couldn't withstand the antics of Chase and Erza.
As for Natsu, nobody cared at all, not even his best friend Happy.
When Lucy and Gray arrived at the outskirts of the agreed-upon location, the area was already packed with a dense crowd, including familiar faces and many unfamiliar ones.
Fairy Tail is definitely not a small organization; in addition to the core members, there are many peripheral members.
Lucy, who had only been with the company for a few days, naturally couldn't possibly recognize everyone.
At this moment, in the central plain far from the crowd, Chase and Erza looked at each other across the distance, both of them exuding a powerful and oppressive magical aura.
Makarov was standing at the front of the crowd, about to announce the start of the match, when Natsu suddenly jumped out and rushed between Chess and Erza.
"Wait a minute! I was first!"
"Hey! Chase! Get out of the way! If we're going to fight, I'll be the one to start!"
Seeing Natsu's utter arrogance, the guild members all shook their heads and sighed.
Macao: "Is he an idiot? Even if you're brave, there's a limit. This isn't some ordinary little brawl!"
Wakaba: "Should we open the betting? Although the odds will probably be quite attractive."
Cana: "Gurgle, you idiot, let's wait until Erza and Chess finish fighting before we go in. Maybe there'll still be a 0.1% chance."
Leqi: "But the swords that flew out of Natsu's head are really sharp."
"Sharpness refers to...courage, right?"
Hearing such a strange description, Lucy simply couldn't suppress her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or sarcastic remarks) spirit.
"It seems like no one thinks highly of Natsu. After all, he's a member of the strongest team. The difference in skill level shouldn't be that big, right?" She frowned slightly, puzzled.
"The strongest squad? Who's so bored as to give themselves such a title?" Gray said disdainfully.
Upon hearing such blunt words, Mira, who had been smiling, froze and covered her face, bursting into tears.
"It's Mira!" Gray exclaimed in surprise.
"How awful, Gray, you made her cry." Lucy said with a look of disdain.
Gray panicked and tried to comfort her with clumsy words.
Over there, Natsu, impatient as ever, gripped the iron fist of the fire dragon and charged toward Erza, accompanied by a sweltering heatwave.
Erza calmly moved her feet, shifting her position as she threw a punch that struck Natsu squarely in the abdomen.
Natsu lay down immediately, a white soul floating out of his mouth, holding a white flag high in his hand.
"Natsu, I just can't do anything with you. Fine, I'll fight you then."
Erza withdrew her fist and nodded seriously.
"Love! It's over!"
Harpy raised his hand high and shouted something as if he didn't want to miss out on the fun.
Soon, Natsu, who had been bent over, was dragged away.
Chess and Erza were left on the field again.
"Hahaha, you sent Natsu away with just one punch. As expected of you, Erza," Chess laughed.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be nice to play around with Natsu, but now that I'm facing you, if I don't conserve my magic power, I'll probably lose badly."
Erza calmly expressed her true thoughts.
A year ago, she fought Chase with all her might. At that time, the two were evenly matched and neither gained much advantage over the other.
This is precisely the fundamental reason why Erza later revealed to Mira that she might not be a match for Chase.
It wasn't that Chase was holding back at the time, but rather that his growth rate was simply terrifying.
When I first joined the guild, I was always getting beaten up by Natsume and the others!
Now, a year later, facing Chess again, even though she herself has also grown, Erza is not absolutely confident.
Of course, at this moment, the Fairy Queen was filled with an overwhelming and irrepressible fighting spirit!
"Come on, Chase! Let me see just how much stronger you've become in the past year!"
"That's what I want to know too, Erza!"
boom!
Almost simultaneously, Chess and Erza unleashed terrifying magical energy.
The battle between S-class and S-class has begun!
