Chapter 54 - Laxus VS ???

While Mira got her confidence back to control her power, Erza could be seen running towards the center of the city. Erza has located the location of all the lacrimas and decided to destroy all of them before Laxus could activate them.

Erza got to bridge which seemed to be the center of the Magonolia.

Erza: Lets do this...

Erza sighed because she was sure that there must be some kind of backlash for destroying those lacrimas so she decided to destroy all of them at the same time. Erza transformed her Heaven's Wheel Armor and hundreds of swords appeared beside her in the air. The next moment the swords were launched in different directions and destroyed all the lacrimras that were floating in the sky.

Like Erza has imagined she saw hundreds of thunderbolt were heading towards her. Those being lightning bolts made it easy for her. Erza immediately transformed into her Lightning Empress Armor and took those attacks head-on. The attacks were immediately absorbed in her armor.

The whole place was filled with smoke... after a few moments the smoke cleared and Erza could be seen standing there strongly while the armor was releasing smoke but her body didn't receive any damage.

Erza: Phew... That was easier than I have thought.

Erza re-equipped into her usual armor which she wore inside the guild and started to run towards the Magnolia Cathedral. She could feel Laxus's aura coming from there along with Axel and Cana. She knew that she was not needed there because Axel was already present there but she decided to watch the fight.

~WITH AXEL AND CANA~

After they left the guild Axel already knew where Laxus was but he thought that this will be a nice test for Cana.

Axel: Cana can you feel Laxus's power??

Cana: Yes... it is coming from the Cathedral. Let's head there... Erza will destroy those lacrimas.

Axel: Ok... but I won't be the one who will fight him.

Cana was shocked but understood that Axel wanted her to fight Laxus. Cana knew that Axel would never let her get hurt or never fight someone who could be stronger than her. Cana just nodded her head and started to run towards the Cathedral with Axel following her.

Soon both of them reached the Cathedral and Axel flew up in the air so he could keep a watch over the fight, the next moment Erza appeared next to him while Cana walked inside.

Axel: Why not...?? It will be a nice practice for her. For the first time, she will be getting in a serious fight with someone who is equal to her.

Erza: I see your point. Ohh... it's starting.

~WITH CANA~

Cana walked inside and saw Laxus was standing under the altar with his eyes closed. He felt Cana's presence and opened his eyes to greet Cana.

Laxus: Have you lost your way??

Cana: No... nothing of that kind. I came to fight with you but before that you should check your grandfather. He had a mild heart attack...

Laxus: Heh...!! That proves it that he is too old and should just make me the Master.

Cana: You are not worthy to become our Master... if you are not going to go and visit him then let's fight.

Laxus: I don't think that it would be a fight but I will entertain you.

Laxus: Thunder Palace...!!

Lightning bolts erupted from all directions towards Cana who just threw a card above her head which absorbed all the lightning. Cana threw a card towards Laxus.

Cana: Revised Thunder Palace...!!

Lightning erupted from the card and headed towards Laxus. Laxus tried to absorb the lightning but he was unable to. Before he could move out of the way the attack hit him and he was blasted out of the Cathedral. Cana jumped out of the same hole that was made by Laxus's body.

Laxus got up from a crater and his shirt was completely gone. Laxus looked over at Cana with disdain.

Laxus: How did you do that??

Cana: Do I look stupid?? Why would I tell my enemy how my attack works???

Laxus: Seems that God of Ishgar taught you well.

Cana: Yes, he did along with my sisters.

Laxus was unable to absorb Cana's attack because it was not purely lightning. It was mixed with other elements too that is why she called it Revised Thunder Palace.

Laxus's body was surrounded by lightning and he bolted towards Cana who defended herself by throwing another card at him which absorbed the lightning surrounded by him. Cana then moved towards Laxus and punched him square on the jaw. Laxus landed at some distance and started to gather power in his body which made muscles bulge out. His body was again surrounded by lightning.

Laxus: Lightning Dragon's Roar.

A raging thunderbolt was launched towards Cana who threw another card and absorbed the attack completely. Cana jumped towards Laxus and threw another card towards Laxus.

Cana: Revised Lightning Dragon's Roar.

The lightning headed towards Laxus's direction who had anticipated it this time so he was able to dodge the attack but met with a fiery inferno made by Cana. The fire directly hit Laxus. After the fire died down Laxus could be seen clutching his left shoulder. His left arm and left shoulder had severe burn marks.

Cana: Ready to give up??

Laxus: Far from it... Let's see how you stop this.

Laxus started to gather magic power within his arms. Cana knew about the magic, it was one of the three Great Fairy spells Fairy Law. Cana threw several cards and every direction which launched an elemental attack on Laxus. Laxus saw this and was shocked and used a magic lightning body to dodge all the attacks. Laxus appeared on a platform and was about to launch the attack but saw Cana was nowhere to be seen when suddenly he was kicked in his family jewels from behind.

Axel covered his own crotch who was standing at a distance. The power Laxus gathered for Fairy Law dispersed in thin air. Laxus grabbed his crotch and his face turned completely white and dropped on the ground and released a girlish scream.

(A/N: I don't understand why do you ever let your enemy complete an attack?? I think they must be huge M. I never understood why Jose Porla or Natsu let the spell to complete. They must had a hidden M in them)

Laxus was in so much pain that he was unable to say anything when Cana moved near him and picked him by his shoulder and started to punch on his face. Laxus's face became bloody and he soon passed out. Cana took out one of her card and imprisoned Laxus in it. Cana then walked towards Axel while she has a smile on her face.

Cana: So... how was my fight??

Axel: Nice... but did you really need to kick him in that delicate place??

Cana: Ohh... cmon... he was going to use Fairy Law on me. But don't worry I did that only to get an opening.

Erza: Even though it was underhanded but I think during a fight it doesn't matter much. In a serious fight like this it could make a difference between life and death.

Axel: Yeah that... but still I am happy for you Cana that you won the fight. I am very proud of you.

After that Axel kissed Cana then next Erza.

Cana: Let's head back...
