Aria's eyeholes beneath his mask seemed to constrict slightly. His voice remained cold, but a hint of offended chill seeped out: "Fairy Tail's fools, still relying on your mouths to bolster your courage as always? Such futile provocation will only make you die faster! Do you, of all people, deserve for me to take off my mask?"
"Ha! So you don't dare to show your face, huh!" Cana suddenly stepped forward, her aura surging, her magic power surging like the eve of a storm!
She violently swung her right hand!
"Then I'll smash that damned mask of yours and your arrogance to pieces! Spirit Card · Dual Flame Burst!"
Swish!
Swish!
Two magic cards, with fiery red crystals inlaid along their edges and roaring Flame Spirit patterns engraved in their centers, were swiftly clamped between her fingers!
Boom!
Boom!
Crimson light instantly flared!
Two colossal phantom Flame Spirits, composed of pure compressed flame magic, like prisoners released from the cards, carrying a furious will to incinerate everything, trailing blazing tail flames, roared towards Aria, one from the left and one from the right, in a pincer attack!
The air, superheated, crackled with explosive sounds!
Aria, facing the surging torrent of flames, merely let out a disdainful snort.
"Ignorance." He slowly raised his right hand.
The magic array at his feet instantly switched, and the azure wind vortex portion glowed brightly!
"Tempest Cannon!"
Countless extremely condensed, sharp wind blades, as if compressed to a single point by an invisible hand, converged into a deep azure wind pressure cannon beam, over two meters in diameter, spiraling at high speed, and with edges so sharp they seemed capable of cutting through space!
The cannon beam, moving faster than the lap of the Flame Spirits, arrived first, emitting a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
Rumble—!!
The wind pressure cannon beam accurately struck the Flame Spirit on the left! The extremely compressed wind pressure and the furiously burning flames instantly erupted in a destructive energy clash!
Blinding light exploded, and that Flame Spirit was completely torn apart, shredded, and dissipated into scattered sparks across the sky before it could even let out a whimper!
As for the Flame Spirit on the right, just as it was about to pounce in front of Aria, the undead portion of the magic array at his feet—the dark purple distorted mark—suddenly glowed!
"Soul Cage!"
Five translucent ghostly arms, composed of pure undead resentment and emitting an ominous purplish-black light, suddenly shot out from the dark purple magic array at Aria's feet!
Like five insubstantial snake-catching vines, they instantly wrapped around the fiery body of the right Flame Spirit!
The ghostly arms ignored the Flame Spirit's high-temperature scorching, instead intensely releasing cold fluctuations that devoured energy!
Sizzle—!
The Flame Spirit's movements instantly became sluggish, and its crimson flames visibly dimmed and weakened, as if even the energy itself was being forcibly absorbed and assimilated by those vengeful spirit arms!
In just a single breath, the colossal Flame Spirit's body, like a clay sculpture drained of power, unwillingly dissipated into a wisp of smoke less than two meters in front of Aria!
"Is that all you've got?" Aria retracted his hand, his posture still composed, his voice from beneath the mask carrying a cruel mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse, "Are Fairy Tail's so-called elites only left with these attention-grabbing little tricks?"
He deliberately paused, looking provocatively at Cana, "Your life isn't even worthy of becoming an insignificant speck of dust in Lord Jose's undead army."
The strong wind howled, sweeping Cana's black hair, revealing her smooth forehead and her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"Little tricks?" Far from being angered by the other party's contempt, Cana's smile became even more wild and unrestrained, like a defiant rose blooming in a storm, "Don't rush, masked man! The main course is yet to come!"
