In a normal fight, Erza naturally wouldn't fear Yukino.
But right now, they were fighting underwater.
If any part of the body leaves the water sphere, they are eliminated.
In this battle, Libra's Gravity Magic held a significant advantage.
"I see, Gravity Magic. Same as Kagura's magic!"
Erza, clad in her Sea Empress Armor inside the water sphere, now understood Libra's ability.
"Only one left!"
"Attack, Libra!"
Yukino looked at Erza and commanded Libra.
With Yukino's command, Libra swung the scales in her hand towards Erza.
However, the moment Yukino gave the command to Libra, Erza had already moved.
With the boost from the Sea Empress Armor, Erza's figure moved through the water as if there was no resistance, instantly closing in on Libra.
But Erza was ultimately a step too late.
Just as Erza was about to hit Libra, a force of horizontal gravity directly 'pulled' Erza towards the outside of the water sphere.
However, Erza was prepared.
Furthermore, back on Tenrou Island, she had fought the Gravity Man from Grimoire Heart.
Now, dealing with Libra's gravity was relatively straightforward for Erza.
As Erza's figure flew towards the outside of the water sphere, the Sea Empress Sword in her hand swung fiercely backwards.
Bzzzt-
Instantly, a horizontally rotating water current, like a tornado, blocked Erza's backward momentum.
By the time Erza's figure was about to fly out of the water sphere, it had already come to a complete stop.
"Amazing! Contestant Erza used a counter-current to block the attack from Yukino's spirit!"
Seeing this scene inside the water sphere, the live commentator on the high platform shouted loudly.
At this moment, the spectators in the surrounding stands also cheered excitedly.
Mirajane, Wendy, and the others, seeing Erza block Yukino's attack, all breathed a sigh of relief.
But now was not the time to celebrate.
After all, the battle wasn't over yet.
"Erza, do your best!"
Wendy cheered loudly for Erza.
"Libra!"
At this time, Yukino inside the water sphere, seeing that Erza had actually blocked Libra's gravity, had a slight change in expression. She then commanded Libra again.
Just as Libra prepared to launch another gravity attack on Erza, Erza had already disappeared from her previous location.
"She disappeared?"
"Where is she?"
Yukino, seeing Erza vanish, immediately scanned her surroundings, searching for Erza's trace.
"Over here!"
Just then, Erza's voice came from behind Yukino.
Hearing Erza's words, Yukino's pretty face changed dramatically.
She immediately turned around to look.
She saw Erza, holding the Sea Empress Sword, slashing directly towards her.
Whoosh-
Before Yukino and Libra could react, the Sea Empress Sword in Erza's hand, carrying a powerful water current, slammed into Yukino and Libra.
Thud-
With a loud, dull sound, the bodies of Yukino and Libra were sent flying directly out of the water sphere.
The moment Yukino and Libra were ejected from the water sphere, the stadium instantly erupted in cheers.
And the live commentator on the high platform shouted in an impassioned voice: "Out of bounds! Contestant Yukino, along with her spirit, has been knocked out of the arena by Contestant Erza!"
"Contestant Erza wins the final victory! Fairy Tail A gets 10 points!"
As soon as the commentator said this, the audience went wild, and Fairy Tail's members like Levy and Lucy immediately hugged each other excitedly.
"We won, we won!"
"As expected of Erza, so strong!"
"This brings us one step closer to the championship!"
While Levy, Lucy, and the others were talking, a virtual screen appeared in the sky above the arena.
The screen displayed the points ranking for Erza and the others in this match.
Fairy Tail A, 10 points.
Sabertooth, 8 points.
Fairy Tail B, 6 points.
Lamia Scale, 4 points.
Blue Pegasus, 3 points.
Mermaid Heel, 2 points.
Quatro Cerberus, 1 point.
"Fairy Tail takes the top three spots again? That's just too strong!"
"How many points do the two Fairy Tail's teams have now?"
"A Team has 68, B Team also has 60!"
"68 and 60 points! Even if they lose all remaining matches, they still have a high probability of winning the championship. Even the old Sabertooth couldn't achieve something like this!"
While the audience was buzzing with discussion, Erza had already returned from the arena.
"Good work."
Kenichi looked at the approaching Erza and said with a smile.
"There's only one more battle match left before the finals. We just need to win this one, and the finals will be much easier to handle!"
Erza walked to Kenichi's side and said.
"One more battle match... I wonder who the organizers will assign."
Hearing Erza's words, Mirajane also spoke up.
"Can everyone hear me?"
While Erza and Mirajane were talking, a voice suddenly sounded in Kenichi's mind… it was Wakaba's.
After hearing the voice, Kenichi glanced at Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy.
After exchanging looks with the three women, Wakaba continued: "All Fairy Tail's members, assemble now! Master has an announcement to make!"
'An announcement at this time?'
'Could it be...?'
Perhaps Erza and Mirajane didn't know what Makarov was going to announce, but Kenichi had guessed.
In the original work, after Raven Tail was disqualified, the organizers merged Fairy Tail A Team and Fairy Tail B Team to allow the competition to proceed smoothly.
Now, Raven Tail had also been disqualified.
Without a doubt, the announcement Makarov was about to make was definitely about merging the two teams.
Just as Kenichi was thinking this, the Fairy Tail B Team members, Gildarts, Laxus, Gajeel, and the others, walked over.
"Gildarts, maybe our next match will be against each other!"
Watching Gildarts approach, Natsu clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"Oh, I'm looking forward to it!"
Gildarts first responded to Natsu with a smile, then turned his gaze to Makarov: "Master, what did you call us here for?"
"I just received a notice from the organizers..."
Makarov then explained the matter of merging the teams.
"From now on, Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, and Laxus will represent our Fairy Tail in the remaining Grand Magic Games' matches!"
When they heard Makarov say the teams were merging, Macao and the others were initially somewhat displeased.
After all, merging two teams unintentionally reduced the chance of winning the championship somewhat.
But when they heard Makarov announce the list of participants for the remaining Grand Magic Games matches, Macao, Romeo, and the others were all extremely shocked.
Then, they were ecstatic.
"Kenichi, Gildarts, Laxus, Erza, and Mirajane... a team of five?"
"This is the strongest team in history!"
"They can win! No, they absolutely WILL win!"
