Erza stood a few feet away from her brother, who still had his sickles with him and was ready to battle.
With a sigh, Erza stretched out her hand and muttered, "I didn't think a time would come when I'd have to fight to keep safe from my own brother".
The dark orbs behind her separated from one another and began gleaming more than they were before.
Stillness took over as they both stared into each other's eyes, waiting for the first person to take the first attack.
But Erza wasn't willing to wait that long…
"There's no going back now!" Erza yelled and the two of the orbs behind her charged toward Christian.
Christian didn't waste any time, he began running around with the aim of dodging the orbs.
He did a backflip when he spotted one of the orbs moving toward him from the back. Christian veered his body around and threw his sickle at the orb.
As soon as the sickle made contact with the orb, the sickle turned into darkness and slowly started to fade into the atmosphere.
Christian was baffled by it, but not for too long. He stood to his feet with one orb behind him and the other in front of him.
"You've picked up a few tricks haven't you, Erza." Christian voiced out and Erza could already feel the anger in his voice.
"Believe it or not, I'm not even trying." Erza responded, a trail of sweat dripping from the side of her face.
"Is that so?" Christian muttered as he looked at Erza. He slowly started walking toward her.
Erza got confused, "Hey, are you dumb or something? Don't think I won't attack…"
"I'd like to see you try!" Christian shouted with a huge wave of energy pouring out of his body.
Erza got startled and sent all the orbs at their brother, not leaving anyone behind her.
"This is not what I want Erza!"
Christian yelled and began darting toward her, evading all the orbs without putting in any exertion.
He didn't make any mistake of trying to deflect them since whatever they touch loses its magic and dies, so instead, he made one thing his only aim, getting close to Erza.
Christian got closer and closer with every passing moment and that was putting Erza in a worrisome state.
Panting heavily, Erza dropped her hand now and the orbs poofed out and disappeared.
Even though he noticed the orbs weren't attacking him anymore, Christian didn't stop his advance.
The excited grin on his face as he got closer was gradually showing when he brought out another pair of sickles.
'Sorry, Dad… but I refuse to die here.' Erza muttered and immediately opened her eyes.
The red glowing light that was ingrained in her eyes made the whole place look red with no other color.
Her eyes began to shine more dazzlingly as the wind blowing inside the barrier intensified and the ground in front of Christian began to collapse.
Both of Erza's eyes were glowing red and other things were having an effect on the power the eye was letting out.
Like her hair suddenly turning white and all the small grasses in the area suddenly drying out and giving out.
"Yes! That's it, little sister! Hahahahaha!"
Christian laughed, taking a huge leap to the sky as he avoided falling into the huge hole in the ground.
While he was in mid-air, Christian switched the way he was holding his sickle and was falling anchor on Erza's position.
Erza looked up at him and the ground started forming a huge spear that went charging straight at Christian.
Christian still felt sure he could handle it, but his expression changed when he noticed other fire spears were coming at him from the hole in the ground.
Not Just that, but there were about twenty wind-like slashes, another set of fireballs, a sudden water tornado that appeared beside him, and three red lightning landing on his position.
But even with the odds, Christian fear didn't last for long, he suddenly started laughing as he fell.
"You think I'm afraid of this shit! Screw you, sister!" Christian yelled, clapping his hand together to allow a barrier to cover him.
He kept falling while the attacks were directed at the barrier. For a while the barrier protected him but after a bit, the barrier shattered after its durability dropped drastically.
Only a few distances were left for Christian to get close to Erza, just a few more drops and he would have gotten there safely.
Like a knife piercing a cake, the rock spear went straight through Christian's gut before a flash of sharp lightning struck him.
Christian fell to the ground and landed right in front of Erza with his body burnt off and covered in blood.
Erza looked down at her brother, with every attack aimed at him regardless of the fact he was dead, the attacks didn't want to stop.
"Gotcha."
Christian whooshed up from the ground with the injury on his gut completely closed and healed.
He held his sickle tight as he got ready to aim it at Erza's neck, even Erza who was about to have her head servered didn't look surprised because she had over a hundred different attacks aimed at him.
Both parties were getting ready to attack each other when all of a sudden the barrier covering the area broke and Sato came descending from the sky.
"The hell do you think you're doing, Erza?!" Sato shouted as he fell.
Erza's eyes widened in shock when she heard Sato's voice but not enough that her eyes would stop glowing.
Sato opened his fist and swallowed the hundred-plus magic attacks in his mist before he landed on the ground right in the middle of Erza and Christin.
He used his right hand to block Christian's attack and used his left hand to cover Erza's eyes.
The magic that surrounded them started to disappear till everywhere became normal again.
Sato sighed in relief, "A little later than that and things would have gotten far worse." He said.
He removed his palm away from Erza's eyes and saw that it was back to normal. "Are you okay?" Sato asked.
Erza stared at him for a while before looking around to see the destruction around her, "I used it again, did i.?" She voiced out with a sad expression on her face.
