Drake had no intention of attempting to persuade the Edolas Fairy Tail members through mere words; he believed that a demonstration of power would prove far more effective.
And the opportunity presented itself without delay.
"It's no good! Fairy Hunters have been sighted, and they're approaching rapidly!"
Edolas Lucy, having composed herself after grappling with her conflicting emotions, turned to address Edolas Levy.
"Levy, quickly prepare the spatial transfer magic; we need to relocate immediately!"
As Levy commenced her preparations at the control panel, Drake interjected, "Hold on a moment.
We are quite eager to witness firsthand the capabilities of the kingdom's magical knights; we shall remain here.
However, if you still possess the courage to resist and are willing to place your trust in us, your fellow members of Fairy Tail, then remain and observe… observe how we shall vanquish those who would seek to do Fairy Tail harm."
With those words, Drake led the way, and all the members of the Earthland Fairy Tail contingent ventured forth from the guild hall.
Edolas Mirajane approached Lucy. "Lucy, should we depart at once?"
Edolas Lucy lifted her gaze, observing the expressions of each member of the guild, noticing a palpable sense of anticipation etched upon their faces.
Edolas Lucy readily understood the source of this collective anticipation; it was clear that Drake's words had struck a chord within them.
"Levy, cease your preparations. I believe it is time to place our faith in Fairy Tail's strength one last time."
Edolas Levy's hands withdrew from the control panel. "This is entirely your decision; should any negative consequences arise, do not attempt to shift the blame onto me."
While expressing these words, Edolas Levy's sentiments mirrored those of Lucy and the other members of the Edolas Fairy Tail guild.
However, unlike Lucy and Levy, Edolas Lucy and Edolas Levy shared a relationship comparable to that of Natsu and Gray, hence the persistent bickering.
Outside, the group observed a squadron of colossal beasts descending from the horizon, and they could vaguely discern the silhouettes of individuals mounted upon their backs.
Natsu, his fists ablaze with magical energy, brought them together with a resounding clang. "So those are the troops that have been relentlessly hunting down the guilds in this world! Just watch me send them flying!"
Drake swiftly delivered a sharp blow to the top of Natsu's head. "Don't underestimate them; the inhabitants of this world may utilize magical tools as a means of wielding magic, but their prowess is considerable.
Don't forget, Mystogan is an S-class mage in our world."
Logically, the humans of Edolas possessed no inherent magical power; even if they were capable of wielding magical tools, their capabilities could not possibly compare to those of mages.
A mage's body, augmented by magical energy, could unleash astonishing feats of power. Their strength, speed, and reflexes far surpassed those of ordinary individuals.
However, the outcome of the battle between the two Erzas in the original storyline had resulted in a mutual defeat.
Drake could only attribute this outcome to the unique properties of the magical tools in this world, considering that, in Edolas, magical tools are referred to as "magic."
Indeed, after conducting a thorough examination of Mystogan's magical staff, Drake confirmed that the magical tools of the two worlds differed significantly.
The most notable distinction was that Edolas magical tools incorporated magic crystals, enabling individuals devoid of inherent magical power to wield them effectively.
Most critically, high-level magical tools designed for combat contained a substantial reservoir of magical energy, effectively functioning as an external magical energy source, providing the user with a significant magical enhancement.
As a result, when the magical attributes of the tool and the user were perfectly aligned, the user could unleash their full potential.
Simultaneously, it is exceedingly difficult for an individual to simultaneously wield multiple magical tools, as the conflict between different magical attributes within the body could prove extremely hazardous.
Therefore, in Edolas, individuals wielding advanced magical tools could unleash power comparable to that of mages.
The individuals mounted on the colossal beasts in the distance were precisely such individuals.
Before long, the group could clearly discern the appearance of the individuals mounted on the backs of the beasts.
"That's…?!"
"Erza!"
Indeed, the individual at the forefront of the squadron, mounted upon the largest of the beasts, was none other than Edolas Erza, the captain of the kingdom's second magical knight squadron, also known as the Fairy Hunter Erza!
Knightwalker, seated atop her colossal beast, observed Fairy Tail, which had not retreated as usual, and let out a chuckle. "Oh my! It seems that the fairies have decided not to flee as they typically do on this occasion!"
The man mounted on another colossal beast, clad in full plate armor, chimed in. "Indeed, they should still have several opportunities to utilize their spatial transfer magic.
However, this development is not entirely unwelcome; it will spare us the trouble of pursuing them relentlessly."
This man was the captain of the kingdom's fourth magical knight squadron, Sugarboy. He, like Knightwalker, was responsible for hunting down Fairy Tail.
Although they were not accompanied by a full contingent of troops, the presence of these two individuals alone was sufficient to eliminate Fairy Tail. To be precise, Knightwalker alone possessed the capability to accomplish this feat.
This was the very origin of the fearsome moniker, the Fairy Hunter Erza.
Confident in their abilities, the two approached Fairy Tail, only to find themselves confronted by a sudden, unexpected presence.
"[Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!]"
Natsu, propelled into the air by Happy, unleashed a powerful punch, striking Sugarboy before he could react, sending him plummeting from his mount.
Knightwalker narrowed her eyes, and before she could even begin to comprehend the events unfolding before her, she found herself confronted by another unexpected presence.
Most strikingly, this individual, clad in peculiar armor, bore an uncanny resemblance to herself; even the vibrant crimson hue of their hair was identical.
"So, you are the Erza of this world? And you are, incredibly, an enemy of Fairy Tail?"
Knightwalker's gaze fell upon the Fairy Tail emblem subtly visible through a gap in Erza's armor. "You are a member of Fairy Tail! Then you, too, shall become my prey."
With those words, Knightwalker raised her magical weapon—the Ten Commandments Spear, an advanced magical tool capable of ten different transformations.
Erza, wielding the razor-sharp blade of her Heaven Wheel Armor, launched a swift attack, propelling Knightwalker backward with considerable force.
The colossal beast upon which Knightwalker was mounted made an attempt to come to her aid, but it was abruptly confronted by an even more formidable presence.
Happy, having transformed into his largest form, dwarfed the colossal beast by a margin exceeding thirty percent; the sheer force of his roar alone generated a powerful gust of wind.
The two colossal beasts were instantly paralyzed with terror, cowering like frightened kittens.
Drake, standing proudly atop Happy's massive form, declared, "You shall not be permitted to interfere with the battle currently underway; therefore, I expect you to remain perfectly still."
Below, Sugarboy, having been sent sprawling by Natsu's powerful blow, utilized his slender, sword-like weapon to make a swift incision into the ground.
This magical tool, known as the Rose Sword, possessed the unique ability to render non-living matter pliable and soft.
Under Sugarboy's precise control, the ground beneath him became softer than cotton, effectively absorbing the considerable impact of his fall from a significant height.
Sugarboy, bracing himself on his sword, rose to his feet, his gaze fixed upon Natsu, who was descending from the heavens. "Natsu, the 'Fireball' of Fairy Tail… you are markedly different from your counterpart."
The flames enshrouding Natsu's body intensified, and he declared with a resounding voice, "Don't call me 'Fireball'! I am a Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail!"
With those words, Natsu launched another powerful punch aimed at the astonished Sugarboy.
As a high-ranking member of the kingdom's military forces, Sugarboy was naturally well-versed in the nature and capabilities of Dragon Slayers. Consequently, he was utterly astounded to witness Natsu's unexpected appearance.
Meanwhile, Knightwalker had begun to suspect Erza's true identity.
"Your armor… it's different! I've never heard of such magic before. It seems your appearance is not merely a disguise."
Erza, clad in her Black Feather Armor, acknowledged Knightwalker's astute observation. It was quite remarkable that her counterpart from another world possessed such keen perception!
Knightwalker continued, "It appears that you have traveled here from Earthland. Might I inquire as to your name…?"
Erza responded without hesitation, "Erza Scarlet!"
Knightwalker, brandishing her Ten Commandments Spear, pointed it directly at Erza. "My name is Erza Knightwalker. Then let us settle this matter with a decisive battle, Scarlet!"
"Bring it on, Knightwalker!"
The Ten Commandments Spear and the Black Feather Sword collided, but the impact paled in comparison to the clash of wills between the two Erzas.
