Chapter 561: Mira
The Purgatory Armor was known for its devastating offensive capability and formidable defense, making it one of Erza’s most well-rounded armors. But its flaw was equally apparent, it lacked flexibility.
And against Rhode’s speed, that flaw was glaring.
Even her earlier attacks, which shattered the battlefield and sent the massive golem flying, had failed to leave so much as a scratch on Rhodes. Meanwhile, poor Wendy had stumbled twice over flat ground, yet Rhodes remained unscathed.
"Re-equip: Lightning Empress Armor!"
With a flash of light, Erza’s armor changed. Her new outfit shimmered in soft green, embroidered with golden lightning patterns that crackled faintly with magic. Her hair was now braided into a thick plait that swayed with her movement. In her hand gleamed a long spear, its tip crackling with arcs of electricity.
This was one of her speed-type armors, one that also boosted her magical attack power. But it came with a trade-off, her back was almost completely exposed, and she had little resistance against anything that wasn’t lightning-based.
"Azure Lightning!"
She twirled the spear with precision, and a streak of piercing blue lightning shot from its tip.
ZAP! ZAP!
Rhode nimbly dodged the first two bolts. But the third struck him squarely in the chest—he didn’t evade it, because doing so would have endangered Wendy, who stood just behind him.
He winced slightly as electricity coursed through him.
BZZZZT!
