"Heaven's Wheel Armor!"
As Erza prepared for battle against Lullaby, her body shone in a radiant light, and she quickly covered it in different armor.
Elegant and graceful plated armor covered her chest, with a large metal flower over it, and she wore a large billowing skirt that had metal plating in the upper area. Large metal wings that appeared to be made of individual blades, as well as a wing-like headpiece, also emerged on her back.
Yet, what stunned all of them was the number of swords that floated in her surroundings, clearly controlled and manipulated with her telekinesis magic.
"S-So many!"
"Is this Titania...?!"
"The strongest female mage..."
When all the guild masters saw Erza, who appeared heroic yet graceful, all of them felt a sense of security, yet also envy toward Makarov, who had such a mage in his guild.
If Erza existed in one of the random guilds, she would definitely become the most daring figure, but Makarov's luck was so good that he had so many powerful mages!
Still, what Erza faced wasn't anybody but a devil known as the Lullaby, yet somehow, Makarov had confidence that Erza would win!
Reqiup: The Knight.
"That's Erza's magic?"
"Yes."
As Kira stood by his side, Makarov explained Erza's magic proudly, which was a type of Spatial Magic and Erza's signature form of Magic, over which she possesses great mastery. It is a type of Magic that allows her to swap weapons, armor, and clothes at will.
"She has over 100 different weapons and armor in pocket dimensions and can swap weapons, armor, and clothes at will during battle!"
"..."
Still, as Makarov explained, Kira thought that wasn't Erza's magic. Was it just her wearing different types of clothes at the fastest speed?
Yet, without a doubt, Erza's ability to swiftly change into different armor, weapons, or clothes during a battle to face a variety of situations was amazing.
Still, Kira had to say that if it was before, he might not have thought to master this magic since it was expensive, he had to say. Yes, to get all of those weapons, armor, and clothes, Erza had to pay a lot of money, and when some of them were broken, nothing could be done except to throw them away.
Or rather, when Kira had to say this woman was so extravagant!
To use all of those precious weapons, armor, and clothes like toilet tissues, even if Kira had an "Imperial Privilege" that allowed him to learn any magic or "Right Hand-Evil Eater," and "Left Hand-Xanado Matrix," which made him to use any magic, he definitely wouldn't try to use this magic!
Yet, when he thought of his new servant, he felt like it wouldn't be bad to do something similar to Erza.
'No, no.'
The new skill that he gained from his new servant, who assimilated into his body, was good, but he knew well that the fake was definitely far weaker. Instead of Erza's magic, Kira was more curious about the Lullaby.
"It's the product of living magic from the legendary dark mage of the past, Zeref.
"Lullaby is a devil that was created by Zeref!"
Yes, if there was a reason why a cursed flute, an item that wasn't a living being, could become a living devil, it was because it was transformed by Zeref.
'Zeref...'
Kira wasn't sure how to describe this person since, while it could be said that Zeref was a villain, this guy also wasn't, as Zeref wanted to defeat the last antagonist, too.
Sighing, he knew those monsters weren't opponents he should deal with.
Instead, it would be far better to leave them to Natsu and everyone, he thought.
"Ah, by the way, are you Kira Olam? So handsome~! Are you interested in joining our guild, the Blue Pegasus?"
All of a sudden, a bald and fat transvestite, Bob, the leader of the Blue Pegasus, tried to approach Kira with a shy smile.
"..."
Was this the time for that?
"No, Kira is our guild member! I won't give him to you, Bob!"
"What's the harm? You have a lot of good kids with you~! He is also so handsome, which is suitable for us!"
"HE IS OURS!!!"
"..."
Kira remained silent and didn't bother to talk since even if the majority of the guild masters might die, whether it was Makarov, Bob, or someone who had a good relationship with the Fairy Tail would definitely remain alive.
"Now, whose souls should I enjoy first?"
Yet, the devil, Lullaby, grinned happily as it looked at everyone with an evil expression.
"I have decided!"
Opening its horrid mouth, it started to emit a large amount of magic power as if it were about to use its magic!
"All of yours!"
"S-Stop it!"
"Anyone, call help!"
"Ah, no! I don't want to die!!!!"
As everyone was in a panic, Kira saw Makarov standing before him instead of running away like the others, which made him think that it was good to join the Fairy Tail. Many things about this guild might be a little troublesome, but when he was in trouble, he knew that they would come to help him.
"Don't worry."
As Makarov stood before Kira, he said, "Erza will win!"
Then, as if to answer Makarov's words, Erza held two swords and cut the legs of the gigantic devil, the size of which had become so immense that it had become that of a giant!
"I won't let you!"
Erza might have failed before, but this time, she would definitely defeat this enemy!
However, despite her fierce attack, Lullaby was quite durable, yet everyone knew that it was only a time before Erza defeated it!
"YOU PUNY HUMAN! DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF! IN FRONT OF MY POWER, ALL OF YOU ARE JUST A FLEA! DIEEEEEE!!!!"
Facing Erza, who moved like lightning as she tried to defeat it, Lullaby was enraged and used everything!
Its mouth emitted an incredible curse power that was so vile and dangerous, and it aimed in the direction of Kira, Makarov, and everyone, especially those who wanted to run away!
"NO, I WON'T LET YOU!"
Makarov and everyone's expression quickly changed.
"Kira, stand behind me!"
Makarov was ready to use his magic to protect Kira, and Erza quickly changed her armor into the Black Wing Armor, an armor that gave a certain resemblance to a black dragon, then soared with her blade, trying to stop Lullaby!
"IT'S TOO LATE! I REGRET YOUR ACTION—"
Stab!
"...."
"...eh?"
Erza, Makarov, and everyone else were stunned, especially when they saw a long and slender rapier-like sword stuck on Lullaby's forehead.
"Ah?"
Lullaby was also startled, especially when an intense burning pain tried to purge it!
"ARRGGGHHH! WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT IS THIS?! IT'S SO PAINFUL! SO HURT!!!"
Yet, Kira, who saw that his attack was effective, created several similar rapier-like swords, then threw all of them at Lullaby, and they burned it!
The Black Keys.
This was the weapon that Kira created and used to cause such a monster that was feared by many to scream pathetically.
It is also the Sacrament of the Church, one of its many charms used against demons and vampires.
So, how could Kira gain the Black Key?
It was all due to the new skill that he gained from the new servant that had assimilated into his body, which made him able to create a Black Key, the Sacrament that was extremely useful against demons and vampires, so it was natural, the biggest weakness of Lullaby, which was a demon!
As expected, when on the parts where the Black Keys stuck, they burnt Lullaby as if trying to purge it from this world!
Yet, Kira was at his limit, and it was tiring to create those Black Keys as they consumed his Magic Power. As for recharging his Magic Power with the method that he used on Lucy before?
Don't be kidding!
After all, those around him were just Makarov and elderly men!
How could Kira kiss them?
So—
"Erza, end it!"
To answer his words, Erza gave a finishing blow by slashing Lullaby's neck with her swords!
"ARRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Yet, was it the end?
"What are you doing, Kira?" Makarov, who was startled by Kira's attacks, was even more startled when Kira suddenly stepped forward.
"Master, Erza, cover me for a bit."
As Kira moved closer to Lullaby, Erza and Makarov were confused, but they decided to believe him and were surprised when they heard the words that came out of his lips: "Take Over."
A magic circle was formed before the defeated Lullaby that was about to perish, and Kira's expression appeared to be in pain for a moment, yet as he prayed, the pain subsided as he was able to take over the Lullaby inside him.
"Successful."
With a light smile on his face, Kira knew that he could rest after this.
Yet, for all the guild masters, who saw the feat of Erza and Kira, all of them knew that the existence of the Fairy Tail would eclipse all of them.
While some appeared helpless, or just felt happy for the Fairy Tail, few people, especially someone on the corner, appeared as gloomy as he was filled with hatred, anger, envy, and... a killing intent.
