"Roar~~~"

The lion stepped into the air, claws and teeth beckoning Mercato.

"Humph!"

Mercato didn't dodge, let the lion pounce and swung his fist over.

The lion's claws gripped Mercato's body, making a metallic grinding sound, but it couldn't shake him. And Mercato struck the body of the Rigid Lion with a dull sound. The Gang Lion flew back faster at a pounce, shattering into pieces of blades in the air.

"Reinhardt - you are the steel that does not die. If my heart does not give in, I will never break it. Lion, reappear in my hands! ”

Though shattered, it still flew back along the trajectory that had pounced on Mercato at such a violent speed, and the shards of the Gang Lion suddenly stopped castrating and coalesced in the air - no, not in the air, but little by little in the hands of Erica who flew over and regained the shape of the sword.

"Oh!?"

Breaking through the debris in the sky, and the debris that fell behind him also flew into his hands. Upon reaching Mercato, the full Reinhardt pointed right into Mercato's eyes, causing him to let out a sound of appreciation.

But, just a few tenths of a millimeter away, Mercato grabbed the blade of the sword. Erica, couldn't go any further.

"Burst it! Reinhart! ”

Erica didn't hesitate, and immediately let go of the hilt of her sword and quickly retreated. At the same time, Reinhardt also burst into pieces and cut towards Mercato.

The sound of metal grinding kept ringing and the shards kept being bounced off, but Erica's offensive didn't stop.

"O Lion of Steel, grant you the mission to transform into seven swords to protect the imprisoned King, sing Brondell, and respond to the King of Lionheart!"

The fragments of the sword changed into lions again, but this time the fragments of the sword flying beside Mercato turned into seven lions, surrounding Mercato.

"I don't have time to play with you, little girl!"

Mercato's weapon appeared in his hand, and with a powerful swing of his club, a tornado rose to the ground, tearing the lions into the air and tearing them to pieces.

"Little girl, the battle between us is not for you to meddle in, now if you stand aside obediently, I can spare you from dying."

"As I said earlier, even if you die, I'm going to stop you! Mercato! ”

Erica jumped lightly and went over Mercato's head, but due to the existence of the big crater, Erica had no choice but to fall in front of Mercato.

"The little girl who could only tremble before, now dares to stand in front of me. This courage is worthy of praise, so let me give you death with my own hands! ”

With a thousand pounds of weight, Mercato's club rose to his waist. Erica hurriedly reached out to block it, but the layers of magic enchantment she had built in an instant were shattered in an instant.

"Poof!"

Because of the defensive magic, Erica avoided the fate of being swept off her willow waist, but she also spat out a mouthful of blood and flew to a distance of more than ten meters without moving.

After dealing with Erica, Mercato turned his head, only to find that Wu Jian was still lying there.

"Wu Jian, what are you talking about? I can feel that you still have the strength to fight. Mercato said with a squint.

"Mercato, is this really good? Take your eyes off the enemy. ”

"Hmph, what are you talking about!?"

Mercato was confident in her strength, and Erica would never get back up if she didn't die. However, he felt a strong wind coming. But he only had time to see that what was striking was a red gun, and he was shot in the chest by the gun. The force of force pushed him several meters, and when he stopped, the red gun was nailed to his chest.

"Whew~~ Did you fall in front of me just now? In order to make me careless, I didn't even notice that I had cast such a powerful magic. ”

"Ha, ha, cough mantra, no, cough has to be recited, cough it out, Mercato."

There was blood running from the corner of Erica's mouth, and she coughed up, and a blood clot mixed with some internal organ fragments was coughed up.

"Humph!"

Mercato let out a breath from his nostrils, as if to say, "Don't be too complacent!" He gripped the gun and pulled it out. A streak of blood spurted out of the wound, but nothing more. If you look closely at the tip of the gun, you can see that only a little bit of the tip of the gun has blood stains. That shot, although it caught Mercato by surprise, only caused him a little skin trauma.

"As a human being, it is indeed commendable that you can hurt this body."

Mercato said as he looked at the blood-stained tip of the gun, but in the next moment, he threw the gun in his hand abruptly.

"Amount"

Erica still didn't react, just the familiar body of the gun. When she realized what was happening to her, she no longer had the strength to support her body and slowly fell backwards. Ironically, his own gun pierced his body, and when he fell, he also relied on the piercing gun to support his body.

"The sun is so dark"

Erica's hands hung limply, her head tilted to the side, and her eyes closed

"She did fulfill her vow, and did not let me touch a single hair of your cold hair until the moment she died. However, you would watch this little girl die, are you really injured and unable to move? ”

Mercato looked at Wu Jian and narrowed his eyes, revealing a little cold light between his eyelids. It didn't matter to him what happened to Erica, whether he could defeat Wu Jian was something he cared about.

"Mercato, is this really good? Take your eyes off the enemy. ”

Exactly one word, but this time Mercato still didn't pay attention to Erica.

"Pierced by the spear that can hurt God, there is no reason to be resurrected."

"Really?"

Wu Jian was very serious, this expression didn't look like he was lying or playing other tricks, Mercato shifted his gaze to Erica

"Hmph, the flame of her life has been extinguished, and it is impossible for her to live unless the king of Hades is alive."

"Amount"

As soon as Mercato's words fell, there was a groan from Erica's side. It was a faint sound that even a god would miss if he wasn't careful.

“！？”

Under Mercato's incredulous gaze, Erica's fingers flicked. Immediately afterward, Erica trembled, and her hanging right hand slowly moved back. The right hand backwards slowly climbed up the barrel of the gun, and then held it hard all at once.

"Whew"

Leaning on the body of the spear, Erica regained her footing, then held a section of the spear on her chest with both hands, allowing it to turn into magic and return to her body.

After the gun disappeared, Erica stumbled, but quickly stood on her feet.

"Reinhardt, this is the last of the best, let's burn."

The sword that reappeared in Erica's hand—Reinhardt chirped and trembled, echoing his master's soul.

"Amazing will, I want a knight like this."

For the first time, there was a sense of admiration in Mercato's tone.

"Hehe, if it's given to you, it's a waste. There's more to her potential than that, so be careful not to die at her hands, Mercato. ”

"Hmph, with that broken body, you also want me Mercato to be careful?"

This time, Wu Jian didn't speak, and he was the only one on the scene who found out what changes had happened in Erica's body, and even he couldn't be sure what kind of results this change would cause.

Erica dragged her sword and walked towards Mercato step by step. As if to pay homage to such a warrior, Mercato waited quietly, or perhaps shocked by Erica's growing strength.

"O Reinhardt, the sword forged by the Black Knight! O last descendant of the Most High Sword! Answer my prayers, King's Steel! ”

Reinhardt's body flowed with an astonishing aura, and at the same time, it also glowed with a little golden light.

(This is)

What's the difference, Mercato sensed some kind of anomaly on the sword, it was an anomaly that he didn't understand at all. This is the end

"Up, Reinhardt!"

As if returning to light, Erica let out a loud cry and delivered the sword to Mercato in the next instant.

“！？”

Although Erica was fast, Mercato still reacted, and waved the stick in his hand mercilessly.

"Blocked!?"

Mercato had only had time to swing halfway through, but that should have sent Erica flying, but now it wasn't so much Erica blocking as he was blocking Erica's attack.

The tip of the sword and the body of the rod stuck there for a while.

"Humans, stop kidding!"

Erica was never able to compete with Mercato's strength, and was shaken out of the way with Mercato's full strength, as it should have been, but Erica survived.

"This, this is"

In front of Mercato, a golden light continued to rise, and it was the light emitted by Reinhardt. In less than half a moment, Reinhardt's entire sword body shone with golden light, and the dazzling light made Mercato think that Erica had sent something wrong, and Erica did begin to emit golden light.

When Mercato squinted his eyes and took a closer look, he found that it was not Erica who was emitting light, but her clothes that were glowing with gold, and even Erica herself was entangled in golden fighting energy.
