While Erza and Cana battled the Wyvern, Mirajane and Elfman also entered combat.
Before them was a Thorny Lizard.
This beast's offensive capabilities were not strong, but its defense was extremely high, and it could even reflect a portion of the incoming force back.
It was precisely because of this that it earned the name Thorny Lizard.
However, in nature, while its defense and counter-shock against animal attacks were effective, ever since it encountered humans who could use tools, the numbers of this beast began to drastically decrease, and it was now on the verge of extinction.
Mirajane and Elfman never expected to encounter one here.
If they let it go, they might never find another one again, so she decided to let Elfman use Take Over on this Thorny Lizard first, and then the two of them would go search for the Green Wyvern.
"Sister, dodge quickly!" Elfman, who was attacking the Thorny Lizard's hindquarters, suddenly noticed it opening its mouth at Mirajane, and he yelled in alarm.
The next second, a black shadow instantly shot out from its mouth; this black shadow was its tongue.
When hunting, it would suddenly shoot out its tongue, stick to its prey, and then pull the prey into its mouth.
In addition to being extremely sticky, the mucus on its tongue also had a super-high paralyzing effect.
Prey stuck by it would become completely weak and limp in just one or two seconds, only able to be swallowed.
However, it was now facing Mirajane, whose combat experience was incredibly rich, and who had a very high understanding of various creatures and demons.
Therefore, as soon as the Thorny Lizard showed a tendency to open its mouth, she had already circled its head and jumped onto its back.
At the same time, she reminded Elfman: "Don't worry about me, you should be careful yourself."
No sooner had she finished speaking than its tail suddenly whipped towards him.
This was another weapon of the Thorny Lizard; its tail tip was covered with many small spines.
These small spines were hollow, and once they pierced into the prey's body, under immense pressure, the venom at the base of these spines would enter the prey's body, instantly causing the prey to lose all ability to move.
Although Mirajane had warned him, by the time Elfman noticed the whipping tail, it was already too late.
Just as the small spines on its tail tip were about to pierce his body, her figure instantly appeared, kicking Elfman away.
Then she retracted her foot and performed a backflip to dodge its tail.
"Damn it, this guy's defense is too high.
If only I had a weapon right now," Mirajane said, rubbing her slightly reddened palm and frowning, after successfully dodging the attack and leaping back to create distance.
"Sister, why don't we go find the Green Wyvern first, and then come back here after completing the mission?" Elfman, who had been kicked away and was now getting up from the ground, suggested to her.
"No, Thorny Lizards are much rarer than Wyverns, and these guys have no fixed abode.
Once we leave, it will be almost impossible to find it again," Mirajane directly shook her head, rejecting his suggestion, and then told him: "Hurry up and use Take Over on this guy, then immediately go find that Wyvern."
Having said that, her hands instantly glowed with a strange black aura, and she instantly appeared on its head, pressing her hand on its skull and shouting: "Super Torture Flash!"
"Oh no!" Elfman saw her stance and knew what she was about to do, so he jumped back in alarm, wanting to get away from the Thorny Lizard and her location.
However, before he could land back on the ground, he felt the entire forest begin to shake, and a black light burst from her hand, flashing through the forest in an instant.
"Huh? This is…" Gildarts, who was watching Erza battle the Wyvern from a distance, was first stunned when he saw this fleeting black light, then said with a puzzled expression: "Mirajane is fighting too? What is she fighting?"
The next moment, his figure rapidly approached her location.
Over with Erza, after she injured the Wyvern's wings, preventing it from flying into the air again, she confronted it.
In the distance, Cana continuously used magic to harass the Wyvern, preventing it from focusing all its attention on her.
Because it had just performed an acid breath attack, the stored acid in its body was greatly reduced.
Therefore, if this Wyvern wanted to perform another acid breath, it would have to wait until its body secreted enough strong biological acid.
Now, all it could do was attack using its teeth, claws, wings, and tail.
Erza, on the other hand, after enduring the acid breath, instantly switched her shield.
This shield was not only light but also had superior defense against physical attacks.
The Wyvern's claws could only leave slight scratches on it, completely unable to harm her in the slightest.
Instead, it allowed her to counter-attack, leaving a wound on its body.
At this moment, this Wyvern did not want to continue tangling with Erza.
Originally, after the acid breath failed to harm her, it wanted to escape, but it didn't expect her to injure its wings, preventing it from escaping by air.
However, on the ground, although it wanted to run, facing her relentless pressure, it could only brace itself and confront her.
Erza looked at the constantly growling Wyvern before her, rapidly thinking of a solution.
Although the blade she had prepared did indeed break through its external defense, it did not have enough power to gravely injure it, only adding a scratch to its surface.
To kill this Wyvern, this level of damage was far from enough.
Just as she was thinking, the Wyvern seemed to realize this, and immediately pounced forward, opening its mouth and biting at her.
However, regrettably, her combat experience was no less than Mirajane's, and she instantly thought of how to kill it.
She instantly brought her shield up to meet its open mouth, directly stuffing the shield into its mouth, and then thrust her long sword from the side directly into its open mouth.
The Wyvern, realizing that she had jammed its mouth with her shield, immediately tried to use its acid breath.
However, as it took a deep breath, a long blade directly pierced a vital spot from its mouth.
In an instant, its consciousness dimmed, and the last thing that lingered in the depths of its consciousness was its Wyvern egg, stolen by humans…
