The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Red as the base, orange decoration, plus black pattern embellishments, and the twin ponytails on her head, constitute the armor on Erza.

"Armor of the Flame Emperor!"

This is the armor with the highest flame resistance among all Erza's armors. Even Natsu's extremely high-temperature flames can't do well in front of it, let alone Jhin's flames.

"You just said that you can choose armor according to the opponent's characteristics. In other words, this armor is..."

"That's right! It's specially designed to deal with opponents who use fire abilities!"

Erza confirmed Jhin's guess and smiled lightly, "In other words, if you can't break through the defense of the Flame Emperor's armor, you can't cause harm to me!"

Jhin is a remnant of the Lunalia tribe. People of this tribe can naturally use fire, and when they use fire, they will have very high defense. If you want to hurt them, you must seize the opportunity and wait until the flame disappears. time to take action.

Over the decades, Jhin has experienced countless battles and encountered many opponents, but those people were basically unable to grasp the timing of the flame disappearing, and some opponents even failed to see through his flame characteristics. Therefore, their endings, without exception, were that they were unable to break through Jhin's defense and were defeated by him.

Over time, this powerful defensive power became the strongest barrier for Jhin to create an undefeated legend.

Now that he heard Erza's words, Jhin was in a daze for a moment.

Others have always spent all their efforts and methods to break through their own defenses. When is it your turn to break through other people's defenses?

This is not right!

But Erza didn't give him time to think.

The two pony tails flicked their heads and summoned a new weapon in their hands: "The Sword of the Sea King!"

The Sword of the Sea King is made of water, and ordinary swords cannot affect it, but it can exert powerful attack power, including water magic. If used with swordsmanship, it can also wield water slashes that are enough to cut gold and jade. Attack is the best weapon to deal with fire-based enemies.

The next moment, Erza slashed with her sword, and the sword of the Sea King sent out a fierce water slash, which was three times more powerful than Juvia's 'water slash'.

Jhin remained silent and controlled the flames around him again.

The flames burned blazingly, forming a shield on the path of the water flow. The shield completely blocked and evaporated the water flow. The invisible energy resisted the tangible matter. It seemed extremely easy. This scene shocked all the magicians.

"You actually blocked Erza's attack...??"

"The other party is the second-in-command of that pirate group, right? He doesn't seem weak, so it's not surprising that he has this kind of power!"

In their eyes, Jhin was similar to Katakuri. Katakuri could fight Laxus for less than half an hour. It was completely reasonable for Jhin to be able to block Erza's attack.

The attack was blocked, Erza was not discouraged, but raised her sword and swung it continuously again. This time she sent out twenty or thirty water slashes in a row, each one longer than the last, and each one faster than the other.

"Is it my imagination? It feels like Erza is practicing with her opponent..."

"Maybe not, after all, her current swordsmanship has improved a lot compared to before!"

Erza used to fight with a sword, which was basically a real slash, even against meteorites. Even though she had the ability to swing a slashing wave, she didn't use it often.

But things are different now. In this world, slashing waves are the mainstream. If you want to defeat the strong swordsmen in this world, you have to learn new styles. But for a swordsman, it is not easy to change the way of fighting halfway. .

That's why she used this battle as her training match.

However, the result of this is destined to disappoint Erza, because Jhin is not a swordsman.

The sword in his hand is just a weapon for fighting. I am not limited to swordsmen's duels.

clang! !

The two weapons collided together, and the long knife in Jhin's hand was wrapped with domineering energy.

"Sure enough...it's exactly what I thought!"

Jhin's exposed eyes showed a true look: "It's just like the natural system, you can touch it with your domineering energy."

Erza's expression remained calm, her eyes remained calm, and there was no embarrassment at all: "I never said that the Sword of the Sea King cannot be touched, it just cannot be damaged!"

The two men moved as fast as lightning, each holding a weapon and slashing at each other dozens of times in mid-air, and then backed away with a strong shock.

The current situation is that Jhin's flames cannot burn Erza, and Erza's water flow slash cannot break through Jhin's defense. In terms of swordsmanship, Erza is better, but in terms of defense, Jhin is stronger.

The racial characteristics of the Lunaria tribe make their defense stronger than more than 90% of the people in the world, but this defensive state also has a time limit!

To put it simply, the flame must be turned off every once in a while, and the more frequently the flame is used, the shorter the duration.

"So we have to use frequent attacks to consume his flames as much as possible..."

After formulating a strategy, Erza had tactics in mind. With ample armor and weapons, she was able to fight with ease every time, and her trump cards were endless.

"Changing clothes·Heavenly Wheel Armor!!"

With another soft drink, Erza abandoned the flame resistance of the Flame Emperor's armor and chose to put on another set of armor for attack. When this silver-white and bright armor was put on her body, hundreds of sharp swords were suspended in it. Behind him, like soldiers waiting for command, they were ready to go.

"Heavenly Wheel·Sword of Cycle!!"

With a command, countless sword blades behind him galloped and roared out like thousands of troops, shooting out towards Jin from all directions.

"Is this...?!" Jhin's eyes widened immediately, but he still made a defensive response in time.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The sound of breaking through the air resounded continuously.

Ding ding ding…

The sound of impact continued.

The audience was stunned, looking at each other one after another, each speechless.

One second they were praising her as a rare female swordsman on the sea, and then this happened the next second? Controlling so many swords to kill people, is this a move that a swordsman can use? What normal swordsman fights like this? ?

Facing the repeated attacks from hundreds of sharp swords, Jhin's figure was as stable as a mountain.

He controlled the flames to wrap around himself, forming a hard energy shield. No matter which angle the sharp blades in front of him struck from, no matter how strong they were, they could not hurt him at all.

But at the same time, the audience clearly saw that with the clanging sound in their ears, the amount of flames on the ring was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the sword rain ended and the flames were completely extinguished.

At the same time, the moment the sound of the sword piercing the air and the sound of metal collision disappeared, what sounded was Erza's soft drink.

"Heavenly Wheel·Pentagram Sword!!"

There was a tinkling sound, and the silver-white light flashed away, leaving a bright five-pointed star in the air.

The light faded, and the five-pointed star seemed to be imprinted on Jhin's huge body, but it quickly dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"What's going on?! The attack didn't work?"

"No, it was blocked!"

Everyone took a closer look and saw that there was actually a long knife placed across Jhin's body, blocking Erza's attack. The long knife was very special. The end of the blade had changed from a smooth '1' shape to a It was zigzag-shaped, like a shark's teeth, biting the 'Heavenly Wheel Sword' in Erza's hand.

Erza's expression remained calm, as if everything that happened before her was what she expected.

"You don't look surprised?"

"Of course! As I said before, I have read your relevant information and naturally know that your sword has this form."

"It seems you have a very good intelligence officer..."

Jhin glanced at Erza in surprise, but he was secretly wondering: 'Who has such a superb intelligence-gathering ability? I haven’t used this sword form for a long time...'

"However, since you have known my information for a long time, you still missed this rare opportunity. It is too inappropriate! It seems that your combat experience is nothing more than this..."

"That's not the case!"

"...?!"

Erza smiled slightly: "The main purpose of this form of your weapon is to take away the sword from the swordsman's hand, but as you can see, I have more than one sword!"

"So it's not me who has the weapons restricted now, but you!"

Jhin's heart skipped a beat, and he twisted his right hand hard, intending to take away the opponent's sword as usual, but found that no matter how he turned the handle, the sword in his hand would not move at all!

The weapon originally used to hold his opponent hostage has now become a shackle to trap himself!
