Mira's battle with Azuma re-commenced after the small talk. Azuma made a lot of trees grow to surround them again like before. Mira's efforts to destroy the surroundings were a waste, but at least cost Azuma a lot of magic power.

He attacked Mira using his trees to form various attacks like fists, spikes, whips of vines and many other forms of tree manipulation including causing the trees to explode. Mira can handle the attacks by dodging or countering them as she flew.

Flying was difficult with all the trees in the way. But she had a lot more options than she had remaining on the ground. It's good practice for her flight. It's a rare opportunity to fight someone that can hinder her ability to fly, so she needed to use this chance wisely.

Mira flew around the trees, branches, vines and also Azuma's attacks with them. But she didn't attack Azuma at all even though he was standing in a visible location, on top of a big branch.

Azuma was becoming pissed off seeing Mira fly around while dodging his attacks. Sure, she countered some of his attacks that she couldn't dodge. But it still looked like she was playing around rather than fighting him.

"STOP PLAYING AROUND AND FIGHT ME SERIOUSLY!" Azuma yelled.

"He he he, I don't know what you mean. I am fighting you right now. These trees and your attacks are troubling me, making it hard for me to fly freely. It is a very difficult battle for me." Mira said with an innocent expression.

Azuma was completely pissed off now.

"Fine, if that's what you want. I'll force you to fight me seriously. I will destroy the giant tree that gives your guild some protection. Master Hades told me that if I uproot that tree, it will weaken you all. That means your guild will become weaker while mine becomes stronger. Let's see if any of your guild mates will survive this." He said.

After he finished speaking, Azuma looked at the Tenrou tree and extended his hand towards it. But before he can do anything, a black clawed hand grabbed his face and pushed him back. He slammed into a giant tree trunk hard until the giant trunk broke.

Mira sent him flying after becoming angry with his remarks. She knew that the Tenrou tree gave all Fairy Tail members some kind of protection and uprooting it will weaken them. If it gets uprooted, her guild mates will be in danger, including her siblings.

"How dare you threaten me using my guild mates and siblings. It seems you are tired of living." Mira said with an angry expression.

Azuma got up and smirked. "You finally got serious. Good, this is what I want, a good battle against a strong opponent."

"Strong opponent, huh? Then I'll show you a strong opponent." Mira said.

Mira's body suddenly glowed brightly and flames appear around her feet. When the light dimmed, Mira had already transformed into another form. There were horns on each side of her head and she wore a white and blue coat with a black cape hanging on her back.

"Satan Soul: Sitri!" Mira chanted after her transformation was complete.

Azuma can feel an incredible power coming out of Mira. It was a lot stronger than her previous form and it made his hands tremble. He knew that she was far weaker than Ben while he was in Devil Force, but she was a lot stronger than him.

He wasn't afraid though, if anything he was a lot more excited. He wanted to fight Ben again, but he was no match for him and he would hinder Hades who had activated the Demon's Eye. So he tried to find another strong opponent, which is why he chased Mira and Erza.

These 2 are very famous, so he knew about them and wanted to fight them. But Erza had gone somewhere so his only option was to fight Mira. It was fine with him because Mira was a lot stronger than expected and he was excited.

Azuma rushed over to Mira and engaged her in close combat. But then again, he wasn't a match for her while she was in normal Satan Soul form, not to mention now. He was quickly overwhelmed and received a lot of injuries.

Then he changed his strategy and used explosion spells to attack Mira. He produced an explosion that engulfed Mira and created a big and tall pillar of flame. It was a very strong explosion but Mira destroyed it with the flame around her feet.

Mira wasn't affected, she didn't even receive a scratch. Azuma gritted his teeth and the used another spell. Mira just looked at Azuma while she was ensnared by many vines and was buried like Ben.

"That monster wasn't affected by this, but I wonder if you are the same. This is my last and most powerful attack. If you can survive this, it will be my loss." Azuma said.

"It is futile no matter what you do." Mira replied.

Azuma then clapped his hands.

"We'll see. Terra Clamere!" He said.

*BOOOMMM*

The spell created a giant explosion that engulfed Mira like how it engulfed Ben before. But the scale of this explosion was lower than the one he used on Ben. Azuma had lost a lot of magic power before, so he can't produce an explosion with the same power.

But it still used all his remaining power and would kill any normal mage. Too bad he wasn't facing a normal opponent. Mira in Sitri form can manipulate flame and had high resistance to flame-based attacks.

The explosion suddenly scattered and Mira came out of it unscathed. "This kind of explosion is nothing compared to Ben's spells. I've fought him numerous times so it would be shameful if I can't handle an explosion of this magnitude."

Azuma smiled bitterly.

"As I thought, your guild is full of monsters." He said.

"I will take that as a compliment. Now, let's finish this game. I'll show you this monster's power." Mira said.

She suddenly flew high up into the sky and stopped after reaching a high altitude. She looked down at the massive trees Azuma made and then she extended her hands to the trees below. A giant red magic circle appeared below her and a big rotating fireball appeared above her.

"Meteor Rain!" Mira chanted.

The fireball suddenly scattered and turned into numerous fireballs that fall at high speed towards the trees. They all hit the trees and destroy them.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM*

Explosions go off everywhere the giant trees grew. But none of the fireballs hit the area outside where Azuma grew his trees. Mira just destroyed the giant trees that Azuma made in addition to attacking Azuma himself.

When the spell was finished, the area that was attacked became a barren landscape with nothing on it. The ground was also charred as a result of Mira's fireballs. They were hot enough to melt the ground as well as the trees.

Azuma was seen laying near the center of the charred ground. He received a lot of injuries and couldn't move, but he was still conscious. He looked at Mira who descended beside him and could only smile in defeat seeing her power when she was serious.

"So you were really playing with me before, huh? So this is the power of the Demon, Mirajane. I still have a long way to go." Azuma said as his body slowly turned into a tree.

"So your power has this kind of side effect, doesn't it? But this was your choice, so you have to take responsibility for it." Mira said.

"Indeed." Azuma agreed with her as his transformation into a tree came to a end with Mira's victory.
