"Ki Breathing, Third Form: All Things Become One!"
Seeing Erza block his Ki blade, Goku's expression became a bit more serious. He raised his right hand high, and after a second of preparation, he slowly slashed down.
A massive, crescent-shaped Ki blade shot out, as if it were about to split the entire World in two.
"Requip: Adamantine Armor!"
With a frantic warning in her heart, Erza's expression changed drastically. She unhesitatingly switched to her strongest defensive magic armor.
"Adamantine Barrier!"
The two giant shields in her hands merged into one, turning into a massive shield that completely enveloped her body, while a green magic barrier rose in front of it.
"Boom!"
The massive Ki blade struck the green barrier. The green magic barrier held for a second before being split in two and dissipating into the air.
The Ki blade broke through the green magic barrier and continued to strike the giant shield.
Two seconds later, the giant shield was also split in two.
Erza's strongest defensive armor, the Adamantine Armor, clearly could not withstand the Ki blade Goku struck using his Breathing Technique combined with Ki.
Fortunately, when she realized the giant shield couldn't stop the Ki blade, Erza immediately dodged to the side, letting the Ki blade graze her armor and slash into the ground.
"What a terrifying strike!"
Looking at the crack of unknown depth left by the Ki blade on the ground, cold sweat couldn't help but break out on Erza's forehead.
If she hadn't dodged just now, she felt she might have been split in two by that strike.
In truth, if she really couldn't have blocked it, Goku would have controlled the Ki blade to disperse directly and wouldn't have actually harmed Erza.
"Erza's Adamantine Armor was actually broken!"
The spectating townspeople had long been shocked by this series of brilliant and terrifying attacks. They hadn't expected the boy who had just joined the guild to be able to fight the Titania to such an extent.
And what they expected even less was that the boy currently seemed to have the upper hand.
"Requip: Lightning Empress Armor!"
Having regained her composure, Erza changed her armor once again.
Facing a challenge from a guild comrade, she didn't necessarily have to win, but she had to give it her all. This was respect for her comrade.
Additionally, fighting a powerful Mage like Goku could also allow her strength to progress further.
S-Class Mage was not her end goal, but her starting point.
She also needed to become even stronger to protect this guild that was like a home, and never let the events of the Tower of Heaven happen again.
"Lightning Empress Spear!"
The magic spear in her hand pointed at Goku, and powerful lightning energy gathered, turning into a terrifying blue lightning dragon that shot out.
How fast was the lightning dragon?
Even Goku frowned when he saw it, because it reminded him of the Move Grandpa Jackie Chan used at the Martial Arts Tournament: "
Thunder Shock Surprise."
He had been shocked quite badly back then, and the memory was still fresh.
However, he was no longer the same as before. He struck out with a palm: "Ki Breathing, Fifth Form: Palm of Heaven and Earth!"
A massive palm condensed from Ki appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the terrifying lightning dragon until its magic power was exhausted and it disappeared.
This was the only defensive Move among the ten forms of Breathing Techniques he had created, and it seemed the effect was quite good so far.
"It seems I can only use that set of armor."
Seeing that even the fastest lightning dragon couldn't harm Goku, Erza knew that if she didn't use her ultimate Move, she would likely lose.
"Requip: Clear Heart Clothing!"
The Lightning Empress Armor dissipated, and new armor appeared on Erza's body.
Calling it armor, it actually wasn't armor at all.
On her lower body, she wore hakama pants with a yellow flame pattern and a few small white flowers.
On her upper body, she actually just used a white bandage to wrap her ample bust, wearing nothing else.
Her snow-white skin seemed to glow under the sunlight.
It made the surrounding men drool, and they began to cheer wildly.
With a high ponytail and bare feet, Erza held two uniquely shaped swords and said to Goku, "This is a set of armor that abandons defense and injects all magic power into the swords, allowing for the ultimate attack.
Goku, be careful in a moment."
"Come on!"
Feeling Erza's suddenly rising Aura and terrifying magic power, an excited expression also appeared on Goku's face.
"Bloom, Demon Blade Benizakura!"
Holding the two demon blades and injecting all her magic power into them, Erza charged toward Goku.
She was so fast that even Goku couldn't completely grasp her movement trajectory for a moment.
"Ki Breathing, Sixth Form: Eye of God!"
The Ki in his body entered his eyes along with the Breathing Technique, and his eyes immediately underwent a strange transformation. Everything in the World suddenly seemed to slow down at this moment.
The movement trajectory that was originally difficult to grasp now looked like slow motion.
This form had no offensive power, but it could significantly enhance his eyes' dynamic vision.
"It's over."
Having clearly seen Erza's movement trajectory, Goku also intended to end this battle, because he knew Erza had reached her limit.
"Ki Breathing, Ninth Form: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"
"What's going on?"
Erza, who was launching a surprise attack on Goku, found that the Goku standing there suddenly became flickering and indistinct.
It was as if a layer of mist had enveloped Goku, making it impossible for her to lock onto him; she didn't even know whether she should swing her sword or not.
Because she felt that even if she swung her sword, she wouldn't hit Goku.
"You lose!"
Just as she hesitated, a sudden pain hit her abdomen, and she couldn't help but kneel on one knee. The twin swords in her hands were forcibly taken away at that moment.
Looking up in the direction of the voice, she found that Goku was already standing beside her at some point, holding her two demon blades in his hands.
"I lost."
Erza stood up calmly.
In that state just now, Goku could approach her silently and take away her demon blades, so he could naturally have taken her life.
Although she lost, she had gained a lot from this battle, so her mood was not bad.
Moreover, Goku's victory over her meant the guild had gained another top-tier Mage, which was a great thing for her, as she viewed the guild as her home.
"Erza lost to Goku?"
Seeing that it was Goku who won in the end, most of the people present, including the guild's Mages, showed expressions of disbelief.
But the facts forced them to believe.
"Hahaha, I have my rent for a whole year now!"
"I've won back everything I lost! I can buy lots and lots of dried fish!"
Lucy and Happy laughed with their hands on their hips, while Gray was also suppressing his laughter.
Makarov didn't focus on the money he won this time; instead, his face was beaming with joy: "It seems the guild has another candidate for the strongest male Mage."
