A/N: This volume is done which was only filled with filler chapters so sorry but I thought that these chapters were necessary so I can justify the strength of the girls which needed to increase for future plots so they don't suffer. I don't want that to happen. So in this volume I gave them battle experience and strength and the necessary time with each other so their relationship doesn't seems forced.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Axel gestured the girls to attack. Ultear used her spheres to attack Axel while Erza supporter her using Heaven's wheels armor when she launched them at Axel. Cana launched several cards towards which could on fire.
Axel raised his hand and raised an huge Ice Wall which stopped all the attacks but vines of Ice sprung out of the ground and started to head for Axel. Axel used Arc of Time and melted all the Ice vines. Erza appeared beside Axel wearing her Flight Armor and swung her sword at him. Axel made a Ice sword and parried her attack with it.
Axel was about to use his sound magic but sensed something above him and saw a huge wave of water above him. Axel brought his hands together and used Ice Make Frozen Wasteland to complete freeze the whole field. Erza within this time changed into the Giant Armor and kicked Axel who protected himself by flying above in the air but was immediately met by Ultear spheres. Axel used Arc of Time to disintegrate the spheres.
Axel knew that girls became very strong so he immediately did a Djinn Equip into Valefor. Immediately Ice pillars busted out of the ground causing huge destruction. Erza had not choice but to back away. The three of them got together and waited for next attack but suddenly the three of them by a huge wave of air. They looked up and saw that Axel has already transformed into Focalor. Erza changed into her admantite armor and covered the other girls to protect them.
Ultear used this time to attack Axel with several spheres and her Ice Vines and Cana throw a card which started to suck Axel inside the card stopping him from moving. Axel saw the incoming danger and transformed into Zepar and Haider and forced the three girls to sleep. The screen was so loud that it easily destroyed the attacks on his way. Ultear and Cana immediately fell asleep while Erza in a blink of an eye turned into Nakagami Armor and negated the armor.
Axel: Good reflex babe...!!
Erza: I have learned from the best.
Axel: So will you continue to fight on your own??
Erza: I will try until I drop on the ground.
Axel: Then let's fight to our fullest.
Axel immediately changed into his human form because he knew that Erza would be able to nullify any magic he sent towards her. Axel used wind magic and flew towards Erza in blinding speed which she dodged by the Nick of time and slashed at Axel who protected himself by making an Ice Shield who immediately melted off because of Erza's magic nullification. But it surved it's purpose because Axel disappeared.
Erza used this time and kicked Cana because she was near her. Cana immediately jumped on her feet and remembered what was happening. Before she could Axel appeared in front of her and punched her in the stomach blowing air out of her body. Cana gasped and dropped on her knees, Erza saw this but due to Axel's speed couldn't do anything. Erza sensed Axel behind her and parried his sword which was coming towards her. Axel used this change and grabbed her weapon with his other hand and pulled it and pointed his sword towards her chest. She immediately let go of her weapon and backed away.
Soon two new weapons appeared in her hand and Axel attacked with his sword and the weapon he got from Erza. Erza parried the the attacks but Axel let go of Erza's weapon and increased his speed and punched Erza on her ribs and a crack sound was heard. Erza clenched her teeths and raised her head but it was too late since Axel's fist hit squarely on her face and knocked her lights out.
Axel: Geez... They could even make Gildarts piss his pants.
(A/N: Axel didn't use any lethal attack against them that's why he was given such a hard fight)
After that Axel gathered the three girls at a single place and took out Cana's healing cards from her pouch and started to heal the girls. Soon Ultear and Cana woke up and memories resurfaced. Cana was knocked out twice, she started to look for her pouch and saw that Axel had it and was healing Erza who had a black eye.
Ultear: Wait... Give me Cana's picture card. We will tease her later.
Cana immediately took a card from Axel and took Erza's picture and after that Axel resumed healing her.
Cana: You don't go easy on us.
Axel: That's the point.
Ultear: So...?? What do you say??
Axel: You three have improved a lot in these three months. Erza could easily defeat Master or Gildarts. Her Nakagami Armor gives her a broken advantage. In a world of magic having the power to nullify magic while using Ice Make makes her formidable enemy. Ultear you might not be of Erza's level but your magic gives you a huge advantage which easily makes you her equal during a battle. Cana you are easily an S-class mage now. Your card magic have grown leaps and bounds. You could have go toe to toe with Laxus now.
Both Cana and Ultear had a proud feeling on her face. Axel gestured both of them to sit beside him. As soon as Cana sat Axel gave her a kiss then to Ultear.
Axel: I am sorry if have hurt you.
Ultear: No problem... We like these kind of fights.
Cana: Don't worry you don't need to apologize.
Immediately Erza shot up from the ground and started looking all around and when she saw what was happening her head hung down.
Erza: So we lost??
Axel: Yeah... But you gave really hard fight. Next time try harder.
Erza: Are you mocking me??
Cana showed Erza her face after she was knocked out re-equiped and mirror and saw her face and saw that the black eye was gone. She released a huge sigh.
Erza: Thank God...
Axel: We rest for today then we go back tomorrow morning.
Erza/Ultear/Cana: Then let's have a night of passion....
