"Stop!" one of the guards exclaimed, blocking the way, even though he felt that a powerful and dangerous being was approaching them, greatly surpassing them in strength. He didn't realize that it was the mistress of this place, Erza.
"Move away!" the head of the guards of the heir of the Territory of the Dark Beasts, who was of the fifth rank, exclaimed. He pushed aside a fourth rank guard and confronted Erza.
The head of the guards had only recently reached the fifth rank, and that was thanks to the support of the heir's parents. In gratitude for this, he volunteered to become the head of the heir's guard.
However, to his dismay, Erza's strength greatly surpassed his own. Even though they were of the same rank, their abilities were strikingly different.
The head of the guards felt the full force and fury of Erza. A huge wave of dark energy pinned the guards to the floor, not allowing them to move. The weakest of them even had some bones broken.
