Ice Needs Steel
As Erza chased after the two men, Natsu and Lucy were trying to catch up with everyonne else. The larger man, Victor told Jacobi to stay behind and fight. Jacobi stopped running and turned to face Erza. The two mages stared at eachother. Finally Erza took the first step into her attack. She swung her blades with anger and fury, however Jacobi managed to dodge her attacks effortlessly. The man wtuck out his hand and a small beam of fire was shot Erza.
Erza tried blocking with her sword but, the fire was too hot and burned through the blade. Confused, Erza asked how could the fire burn through her weapon. The man laughed and said his magic isnt just typical fire, But that his magic is burning magic and he just hides it through fire. Erza re-quipped into Flame Empress Armour thinking her armous wouldn't be melted sso easily. Jacobi laughed and shot another beam, but this one was even brighter and larger. She dodged, but her sid was barely scraped. The armour was burning just a bit, but it wassn't too much damage. She quickly got up and ran toward the man. Swinging her blade, she managed to hit him. Jacobi yelled in pain, his arm was bleeding from the large cut.
Erza took this opening to land the finishing flow. She yelled as she ran toward her opponent. She swung her blade with so much force that the man was flung back into a few trees before landing unconscious. SHe ex-quiped out her armour and back into her normal uniform.
Finally Natsu and Lucy caught up to Erza and saw the aftermath of her battle. With them together they searched for Gray. Continuing in the direction they saw the man with Gray had gone before Erza had her battle.
