Chapter 670: The Coming Storm
Why can it end if you fight seriously?
Before Chapati could figure this out, the people who were fighting gave him the answer.
In the originally chaotic battle, a tall figure was the first to retreat violently. It was Jola!
"Oh! Jura-san was the first to leave the battlefield? How is that possible?!"
Chapati's face was filled with shock, and her pea-sized eyes suddenly widened - although they only became the size of soybeans. The audience who had been watching the four-person fight also showed incredible expressions.
Could it be that Jura, who was a member of the Holy Ten, was defeated so quickly? Are the young wizards nowadays so powerful? Although those three people were indeed very strong, it was too outrageous to directly eliminate a member of the Holy Ten? !
But they soon realized they had misunderstood.
Because Jola was not beaten back, but in order to use his ultimate move, he was the first to leave the battle circle and prepare to accumulate strength.
Jola's body retreated violently, and his clogs stepped hard on the ice, leaving two holes of more than ten centimeters deep on the ice. At the same time, he clapped his palms together, making a crisp sound, and the magic power in his body responded.
His expression was extremely serious, and terrifying magic power burst out from his body, causing the surrounding air to vibrate slightly. Gravel and ice crystals were floating in the air due to the change in the force field. Even a wizard with some experience could not help but feel a little nervous.
"That's...Jura-san's ultimate move!!"
The wizards of 'Snake Princess Scale' murmured softly, with cold sweat running down their faces. It seemed that what they saw was not the stadium below, but a scene from the past that existed in their memories.
It was a crumbling earth, collapsed mountains, shattered monsters, or ruins filled with rubble and dust.
What is the ultimate move of the 'Saint Ten' Jura? Can he take down all three of them in one fell swoop?
A hint of curiosity ignited in the hearts of people from other guilds.
"Look! Not only Jura, Erza is also moving!!"
When everyone heard the sound and looked towards the melee scene after Jola withdrew, they saw a figure with beautiful, long crimson hair following closely behind Jola. Her movements were equally agile, but compared to the calmness and heaviness shown by Jola, this figure was more elegant and more stunning.
"Change clothes..."
A cold voice came out from her scarlet lips, and her graceful figure lightly stepped on the ice. The moment she landed, a burst of red magic power immediately burst out from Erza's body. The magic power set off a gust of wind, blowing her enchanting red hair wildly. Just looking at the magic power bursting out from her body, it was not much less than that of Jura.
"It seems like they are planning to use their last trick."
As expected, before he finished speaking, the remaining Inbel and Urrutia also jumped back at the same time, stopped fighting and separated.
The difference is that after Inbell stepped back, he landed steadily on the ice, while Urrutia was unable to stand steadily after landing due to uneven force due to his body structure.
Kira, watching this scene, suddenly realized that this was a typical example of judging combat experience based on clothing - compared to Ultear who was dressed in cool cloth, this instability was completely invisible in Erza who was wearing armor. This was one of the reasons for the difference in strength between the two.
Inbel saw how embarrassed Urrutia was and snorted in ridicule: "You can't even stand steadily, and you still want to get back at the Ice Shape Magic? Stupid woman!"
Lustful audience member No. 1: "So big! Gulp..."
Jealous spectator No. 2: "It's so big! I'm so envious..."
Innocent spectator No. 3: "Oh no! Urrutia is at a disadvantage!"
Urrutia ignored Inbell's sarcasm and just activated the magic power in his body. The invisible, soundless and imperceptible time fluctuations immediately spread in all directions and covered the entire stadium in an instant.
The air around Inbel was even colder than before, and the bone-chilling cold quickly spread to the audience seats. Although Inbel was constantly controlling the range of his magic and trying to keep it confined to the field, his magic power was too great and some leakage was inevitable, causing the spectators in the audience seats to complain.
Ice began to form on the stands. The audience shivered, their teeth chattered, and white mist came out when they breathed. Even ice wizards like Gray and Leon, who had a cold-resistant physique, found it unbearable.
“It’s so cold!!”
"Why is it so cold?!"
"Even I can't resist this cold, so what about the others..."
Just as Gray was feeling anxious, a red light suddenly exploded behind him, followed by a loud bang. A familiar warmth dispelled the coldness around him and liquefied the ice on the stands.
Looking back, I saw that it was Natsu who set the fire.
At this moment, Natsu clasped his hands in front of his chest with a proud look on his face, as if to say, "What can a mere coldness do to me?" Flames were flying around him, and the heat and range of the flames were just right.
Lucy and Happy shivered as they moved closer to Natsu, but they didn't dare to really touch him for fear of being burned by the fire. They just snuggled up to him, just like the wife and children of the Dragneel family being protected by their husband.
"Thank you so much, Natsu!!"
“So warm…”
A cute blush appeared on Habby's face. Half of his body was lying in Lucy's arms, his eyes narrowed into lines, and he looked extremely comfortable.
If only Lucy and Happy were with Natsu, this scene would be like a family of three and would be very warm. But in this situation, it's not just the two of them who want to get close to Natsu, there's also Wendy, Charlu, Stinger, Makao, Wakaba, Marcus and a group of people, so the scene has become a lot funnier.
Gray: "Why does this scene feel so strange..."
"Ohhhhh~ It's summer, but Natsu's body is so popular!"
Kira smiled frivolously, "What do you think, Gray? You have always been at the top of the Guild Summer Popularity Rankings and are known as the central air conditioner. Now seeing this situation, you must be very disappointed!!"
“Not at all!”
"Hehehe...just keep talking tough!"
"Really not!"
But how could Kira listen to Gray's explanation? He slapped Gray on the shoulder, sighed and said, "It's okay to lie to your brother, I'll just laugh it off, but don't lie to yourself, just don't cry secretly when you hide in your bed at night..."
"I told you I didn't feel lost at all!!"
"Don't be sad Gray-sama! Juvia will always be by Gray-sama's side no matter what the situation!"
"Uh... so I said..."
But Juvia would not listen to Gray's explanation. She spread her arms and before Gray could react, she hugged his arms and said softly, "If Gray-sama wants to cry, you can cry as much as you want in Juvia's arms~ Juvia will never tell anyone!!"
"Ahhh! I've already said no more! Don't you guys understand?"
Feeling the strange touch on his arm, Gray's face suddenly turned red, but he still grabbed his hair and screamed, while pulling hard to pull his arm out of Juvia's arms.
As a result... of course he didn't move. After all, Juvia's passion was a fire that Gray couldn't extinguish no matter what!
Gray even had a vague idea in his heart that he should maintain this state .
"Gray, you look so weird... You must feel comfortable being hugged by Juvia. You're not thinking of staying at this moment, are you?" Kira's teasing voice came from the side.
Gray's inner thoughts were exposed, and he felt so ashamed that his blood boiled again, his face flushed: "Stop talking nonsense! Asshole Kira! All this is your fault!"
Juvia was shocked when she heard this: "Huh??!! Could it be that Kira-san is also a love rival?!"
“Hey, hey, hey… stop it, stop it!! Don’t say things you shouldn’t say! If others hear it, it will cause misunderstanding!”
Kira took a half step back in fear, crossing his arms in front of him in a defensive posture, "You lecherous guy, you obviously made that expression because of Juvia, what does it have to do with me?"
Just then, the announcer's voice interrupted the three people's chat.
“Oh! Some of the audience are already losing their temper due to the influence of Inbel’s magic! How long will their confrontation last? I just hope it ends as soon as possible!!”
If the magic power they possessed in the previous melee was the waves constantly surging on the sea, then now it is the calm before the storm at sea.
Depressing, heavy, stuffy, and even difficult to breathe.
Finally, when the magic power on the field reached its peak, the four of them took action at the same time.
The storm that has been brewing for a long time has finally arrived!
