*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The principal, Tony Menzel and Stephanie, as well as several great elders quickly jumped out to reinforce the barrier. It was not easy to create a wide and strong barrier within a short period of time. After all, none of them was a formation grandmaster.
Erza and her Dark Avatar suddenly flashed, their figures fading.
*Cha! Cha!*
Two sword energies pierced towards Mozart from two different directions, their speed already reaching the degree at which they was hard to see, even for a King Realm expert!
However, Mozart had not even turned his head to look. He completely liberated his perception, using his soul force to sense all the information in the air, determining where Erza's attack would come from.
'Nether Flow!'
Mozart aligned his daggers with the sword energy, and crazy amount of dark crimson essence filaments appeared on each of the daggers, each directly clashed against the sword energies!
*Peng! Peng!*
The sword energies broke apart. At the same time, a dark crimson flame power ran out from the ruins of the sword energy, rushing towards Erza like a deadly blade!
*Whooosshh*
In the instant that the crimson flame struck, Erza's body flickered and she only left behind a vague blur, not even giving Mozart the slightest opportunity to strike.
'She's too fast!' Mozart was startled. This was the first time that he had encountered someone whose speed was so fast that he couldn't hope to match them, even after coordinated his movements with the law of wind.
With her control over black lightning and Time Magic, Erza's speed was already beyond the limit that a Knight Realm expert could reach. After all, a lightning-attribute practitioner normally had an enormous superiority in terms of movement and speed.
*Peng peng peng!*
Another three sword energies were broken! In term of strength, Mozart got the upper-hand. However, Erza was simply too fast for him.
*Swish swish!*
Erza and Mozart's speed was too quick; the audience could barely see vague blurs of scarlet sword light and dark crimson true essence. When these forces collided in the same place, sparks of lightnings and flames were bursting out.
Although Mozart's speed was inferior to Erza's, to the common viewer, their speed had already surpassed the limits of their sight.
Soon, the two youths had exchanged more than a hundred moves, as sparks kept flying everywhere around the ruined stage.
Just a few minutes ago, the new reinforced protective barrier had been placed down. But now, it was fiercely shaking again. The entire fighting stage was whipped into a tornado, and the broken tiles of the stage were picked up into the brutal winds. These fragments were like arrows that shot in all directions!
The audience was dumbfounded. They could only see more and more cracks and fissures appearing on the ground at a terrifying speed. For most of the students, when had they ever seen such a competition of extreme speed? Was this really a battle between two First Year students? Even Sixth Year students would not be so abnormal!
"They are too fast, the realm their speed approaches in inconceivable. Even Senior Bolt, who is a self-proclaimed speed master, can't even match up to half of their speed."
Yu Fei muttered to herself. She was referring to Wushang Bolt, a Sixth Year student who excelled most at speed. He was known as the fastest student amongst his peer. However, what he excelled most at was already worse than Erza and Mozart by far. He had no other aspect that he could even compare in.
Therefore, it could only be said that Erza and Mozart were too abnormal!
At this moment onstage, Erza was secretly analyzing her fight. Mozart's movement speed and attack speed was inferior to her own, but when she and her Dark Avatar cut out with six swords, Mozart was able to dodge two and block the last four with his daggers. That dark crimson true essence that was attached to his daggers was just too strong. It endlessly grew, and also contained a strange power of vibration.
Mozart's speed was inferior, but with his formidable attack power and freakish defensive capabilities, he was not at a disadvantage at all!
Dark crimson true essence surrounded Mozart, protecting him all around. Erza's black lightnings and phoenix flames energy was able to puncture it, but was quickly worn down. No matter what she tried, she was unable to harm Mozart. The dark crimson true essence that was lost was immediately replenished.
'Lightning Dance of the Phoenix Wing!'
Erza's eyes flashed and she and her Dark Avatar simultaneously displayed the Lightning Dance of the Phoenix Wing. Human and sword became one, as if they fused into beautiful lightning and flame dance, instantly arriving in front of Mozart.
This extreme speed had already completely surpassed the limit at which anyone could respond!
*Cha cha!*
Two burning red swords stabbed into Mozart's body like a bolt of lightning. These two swords contained Erza's complete understanding of sword art, and their attack power reached the limit of this instant blade!
In that split-second, Mozart's eyes burst with light, his pupils flashed with true inferno!
'Hell's Inferno!'
Dark crimson true essence erupted as it tried to engulf Erza.
At such a close distance, no matter how fast Erza was, there was no way she could dodge!
*BOOM!*
As this crimson dark flame engulfed her body, Erza's entire body experienced unbelievable level of pain. The power of Inferno flames entered into her meridians, fiercely burning everything in sight.
Similarly, facing Erza's sword, Mozart simply had no way to avoid it. Since he was destined to not be able to evade, he would not evade. From the very beginning, he decided to go down with his opponent in a battle of attrition. He galvanized the dark crimson essence in his body to the max, preparing to meet her attack head-on.
*Pah pah!*
With two light sounds, the sword blades pierced through the essence protecting Mozart, stabbing into his body. On his lower abdomen and back, two streams of blood shot out.
Even though his blood shot out, Mozart simply did not care. He cried out, "Underworld Fist!"
*Bang! Bang!*
He released the daggers from his hands, punching out with two fists, directly smashing into Erza and the Dark Avatar's faces!
Under normal circumstances, Erza would have been able to use her extreme speed to avoid Mozart's fists. However, as it was now, Erza's body was experiencing a pain she never experienced before, and Mozart's sudden attack had taken her by surprise!
Erza was blown away to the edge of the stage, as her Dark Avatar was gone. She lost her grip on her sword.
"You dare to hit a girl on her face?" Erza was thoroughly angered as she was trying to stand up. Blood was leaking out from her nose.
"No special treatment for other girl besides my girlfriend." Mozart chuckled as he was pushing his recovery ability to the limit to close the two big wounds on his body. He endured the burning sensation all over his body when he took out the Heavenly Flame Sword which was stabbed into his stomach.
'Rewind!' Erza quickly tried to sooth her pain and injury with her Time Magic. Soon, it was clear that Mozart ended up in worse state than her after their last exchange.
"Hey, we are betting who is stronger between us, and if I lose, I need to be your woman. On the other hand, if you lose, you only need to become my friend forever. I don't think they are equal and fair." Erza suddenly sent Mozart a voice transmission.
"Oh, what do you want then? I'm all ears. If you want me to become your man, then I will reluctantly agree to it."
Erza was speechless at his shamelessness.
"What is your true name?"
"Mephisto."
Erza was surprised at his quick answer. She was planning to add that as her condition if she won the bet. Unexpectedly, Mozart already told her now.
"Why do you tell me now?"
"Because regardless whether I win or lose, you will know my true name." Mozart chuckled.
"Archdevil of Combat, huh?"
