Chapter 277: Ch 277 : Hostage
In the empty park.
Erza, Kagura, and Minerva stood facing each other.
A faint yet palpable aura of fighting intent emanated from all three, creating an atmosphere so tense that it seemed ready to explode at any moment.
With a cold smirk on her lips, Minerva cast a sidelong glance at Erza and Kagura, speaking in a low voice, "The reputation of Sabertooth has fallen to rock bottom. Of course, I don’t need to say it—it’s all thanks to your guild, Erza, Kagura."
Erza’s expression remained calm in the face of Minerva’s provocative words.
"If that’s how you see it, I have nothing to say. No matter who my opponent is, I will defeat them and move forward."
Hearing Erza’s words, Kagura shot her a strange look, her mind filled with thoughts.
(Erza, why does your guild protect Jellal? From what I heard from Milliana, you suffered unimaginable torment and cruelty at his hands...)
Minerva, on the other hand, seemed slightly amused by Erza’s statement.
With a faint smile, she said, "To prove that our guild is the strongest, allow me to take on the both of you at once."
"What bold words," Erza said softly.
