The figure took small steps, gradually approaching Mirajane and the others. The dim corridor didn't reveal the person clearly, but there was a sense that the figure was quite slender.
Erza squinted her eyes, quickly recalling the cards Calvin had used, trying to identify the slender physique among them. However, before she could figure it out, the person became more visible. At this point, recalling was useless as the person was about to reveal themselves.
As the person approached, a seductive and enticing voice echoed, "So, Sloth is not reliable at all. The enemies managed to invade here."
"Sloth? Isn't that the person referred to as the Master of Dragon's Domination?" Mirajane thought to herself. The tone used by the newcomer didn't sound respectful, implying an equal standing.
The figure finally revealed itself, displaying a charming face with a straight and smooth burgundy hair. She wore a provocative and revealing outfit, outlining her graceful body. Uniquely, her hands and feet resembled bird claws, and green feathers adorned her arms, forming a pair of not-so-large wings.
Seeing the newcomer, Erza couldn't help but exclaim, "Harpie Lady?"
"What's the matter? Is she strong?" Ultear asked, not understanding Erza's reaction. From her perspective, this Harpie Lady didn't seem impressive, lacking outstanding magical power. It appeared that anyone present could easily defeat her.
Erza glanced at Ultear and, noticing the disdain in her eyes, solemnly explained, "Don't underestimate her. Although Harpie Lady herself may not be formidable, Calvin has put considerable effort into her. Just as you saw with Dragon's Domination, he can enhance her strength with various magic cards."
"Since she's so powerful, why have I never seen Calvin use her before?" Elfman inquired, confused.
"There are two reasons. Harpie Lady's special trait is her ability to exhibit remarkable combat power without consuming much magic power. After Calvin created her and matched her with various magic cards, he became powerful enough not to worry about conserving magic power. Secondly, I think Calvin might be a bit embarrassed to use such a summon; he's afraid people might have strange opinions about him due to her appearance." Erza quickly explained.
"Huh, unexpectedly, Calvin is quite a man!" Elfman chuckled, and then, roaring once again, he charged towards Harpie Lady, or rather, Lust.
As Harpie Lady approached, Elfman swung his massive claws. However, she swiftly moved, using her wings to gracefully fly to the ceiling, watching everyone from above.
At this moment, Mira flicked a card, and numerous dazzling lightning bolts erupted, all aimed at Lust.
Facing this attack, Lust showed no intention of confronting it directly. She kicked off the ground, moving to a different position. However, the lightning was blinding, forcing her to use her wings to block her line of sight.
Seizing this moment, Ultear swiftly employed magic. Her crystal ball multiplied into ten and arranged themselves into a makeshift crystal panel, hovering above the ground.
Ultear and Melti advanced, and the crystal panel, as if equipped with engines, glided towards Lust.
All of this occurred in a very short time. When Lust moved her wings to see again, Ultear and Melti were already gone, leaving only Mira, Erza, and Elfman.
"Oh, it's just a feint? I thought you five were going to attack me together~" Lust revealed a slightly surprised expression, then chuckled. "You seem to have underestimated my strength. A big guy and two weak girls, how could you be my opponents?"
This statement was condescending, completely underestimating Mira and the others. However, they were not impulsive. All three paid no attention to Lust's comments, keeping their eyes on her and whispering to each other.
"Three against one? You're in a dangerous stance~" Lust mocked, still confident.
"You won't have the chance to use other forms!" Erza shouted, tossing out her cards. Blades of wind, bolts of lightning, fireballs, and ice shards flew towards Lust in a relentless onslaught.
Mira added her own magic to the mix, unleashing a barrage of dark magical bullets. However, when the attacks collided with Lust, she calmly fluttered her wings, and an onslaught of green feathers descended.
"Harpie Lady's Feather Blizzard!"
Feathers fell like snow, obscuring everything. The magical attacks were nullified, having no effect. When the feathers settled, Lust's figure was already far away, leaving only a mocking silhouette.
Seeing this, the trio was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted. Although they were slightly behind, Mira's remarkable speed allowed them to close the distance.
