Chapter 672: The Fight on the Second Day
"That guy must feel really embarrassed!"
"He said so arrogantly before the game, 'Ice Sculpting Magic is not as good as mine', but he still lost. Now he must be ashamed!"
In the Fairy Tail camp, Gray rarely looked like a powerful villain, he was heroic and proud, and looked smug.
"You're almost there!"
Kira rolled his eyes and complained to Gray, "Ultear didn't defeat him head-on with the Ice Shape Magic just now, so next time if you have a chance, you still have to go and get it back yourself!"
"Of course I know about this!"
Gray grinned, clenched his hands, rubbed them hard in front of his body, and said, "As long as I defeat him, I can show off in front of three people at once. I will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"
The three people... are Inbel who spoke arrogantly, Urrutia who took advantage of the situation, and Leon who was beaten up, right?
"I trust you!"
"Juvia believes in you too, Gray-sama~"
"Yes... yes... I get it... can you let go now?!"
Gray said impatiently, rubbing his hand in Juvia's arms again... No, he twitched it.
Bah! How obscene!
Kira looked down on Gray in his heart and focused his attention on the competition again.
What will be going on next is today's 'single player fight'!
Judging from yesterday's game scenes , the single-player fights were still very interesting to watch, except for the fact that the number of players was randomly selected, which made the audience a little disappointed. At the end of yesterday's game, the organizers collected feedback from the audience who left the venue, mostly comments such as "very exciting", "very good", and "I hope the players were really randomly selected".
And considering that there are enough participants and enough games in this competition, this regret is nothing.
However, due to the exciting Saint Level 10 battle just now, the audience now feels a bit full and is not in the mood to appreciate the next battle for a while.
This is because the threshold for viewing magic has been raised. The competition between ordinary wizards can no longer stir up waves in their hearts. It is as tasteless as chicken ribs.
As expected, in the next three games, although there were spectators cheering, they did not attract much attention from Kira and others.
The first battle is 'Witch's Sin' versus 'Emperor's Shield'.
The one who fought in the 'Witch's Sin' was Lastiros, who had just joined the team not long ago. It was not known whether this was his own idea or Preshito's.
The Arc of Manifestation showed its power at the beginning of the game. Such a special magic of using imagination to create objects and even creatures amazed the audience.
After all, who doesn't have a daydream in this world? Getting rich with imagination, or even becoming a powerful wizard, is something that more than 99% of people have thought about.
So when Lastiros displayed his magic, the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard in the venue, and men and women looked at Lastiros with fanatical eyes.
“I’m so envious!”
"If I had that magic, I could..."
"I really want to learn! I really want to learn! ..."
There are endless voices like these
There were even some people who looked pale and weak, laughing and making indecent remarks, saying things like "Aren't disposable items better?", "What do you kids know?", "Those are things for adults to play with". The sounds were spread in the air and could be heard clearly if you paid a little attention.
However, although as one of the 'Seven Familiars of Purgatory', Lastiros has considerable strength and powerful functionality, he still has no chance of winning against the 'Emperor's Shield'.
Lastiros is at most S-level, and a weak S at that, while his opponent is a shield-level wizard. The gap between the two is too big!
The Emperor's Shield is played by Jacob Resio, who is proficient in assassination magic.
Jacob is an introverted person. Perhaps he finds the magic of Arc of Manifestation very interesting. He has been standing still since he came on stage, allowing Lastilos to show off his skills proudly, materializing various special weapons and powerful monsters, and then explaining his own power.
When Lastiros had almost finished speaking, Jacob used a trick of hiding to teleport his proud creation to his own space, then stepped forward and ended the match with a clean punch.
The whole thing lasted less than ten minutes, and aside from the fact that Lastiros's creation was rather interesting, this fight was pretty lackluster.
The second fight is between 'Blue Pegasus' and 'Snake Princess Scale', and the two sides fighting are Lian Akatsuki and Yuuka .
The former uses air magic to create air vibrations, shock waves and other attacks; the latter uses wave magic, which can use vibrations to dissolve and rebound the opponent's attacks, or use wave shells for long-range attacks.
To some extent, their magic is similar in nature, most of them are attacks that are invisible to the naked eye, and they are not good at close combat, only suitable for medium and long-range combat. This leads to them just standing still throughout the game, which is boring.
If you ignore the bright and beautiful magic circle, the air explosions and dust that occur from time to time, their behavior is just like two deaf-mutes communicating with sign language - and they are two deaf-mutes who love to act cool.
The result of this match was that Yuka won. Compared to air magic, wave magic is more integrated in offense and defense and has comprehensive functionality. In addition, Yuka has more magic power than Lian, so it is not surprising that he won.
The third match was 'Four Headed Hounds' versus 'Heart of the Dragon'.
The former is played by Iyeka, a strong man who uses plant magic, a little-known character; the latter is played by the other twin girl, Korai.
Just as Kira expected, this 18-year-old girl with short blue hair and black sailor suit had the Shadow Dragon Slayer Crystal implanted in her body, which matched the Dragon Slayer Crystal in the body of another girl who was not sure whether she was her older sister or younger sister.
After seeing her dragon-slaying attribute, Rogge was a little surprised, but because of the precedent of Stinger, he quickly accepted this setting.
The result of the game was as expected, with 'Heart of the Dragon' winning.
A strong man is not necessarily stronger than a young girl. In this world, magic has the final say.
Although the girl is a second-generation dragon slayer wizard, the level of her dragon slayer magic is naturally high and powerful, so even if there is nothing with corresponding attributes to absorb in this battle, it is more than enough to deal with a wizard of plant magic.
There were three fights in a row, plus the interval in between, so by the time the last fight came around, it was already an hour later.
"There are only two guilds left. This means our opponent is Raven's Tail, right?"
In the Fairy Tail camp, Makarov crossed his arms and ordered Kira and the others, "Whoever comes on the field later, you must be alert and beat them up! Got it?"
"I feel like the president is in a particularly good mood..."
Mira blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, without any tension on her face.
Since Mira had already participated in a fighting mode match yesterday, she was the only one in the team who would not be able to play, so she naturally didn't need to take Makarov's instructions to heart.
"It's probably because 'Crow's Tail' has been defeated for two consecutive days!"
Kana came over and hugged Mira's soft shoulders, puffed a breath of alcohol on her fair and tender cheeks, and complained drunkenly, "Really... You are so old, but your temper is still like a child..."
"Anyway, just fight with all your strength!"
Makarov exhaled two streams of hot air from his nostrils. "Also, the rest of you keep a close eye on Ivan's movements. If he dares to act rashly, I will immediately..."
"Okay... okay ... President, just rest assured!"
Kira patted the restless old man's Mediterranean face and said, "Don't mention that I'm here. The first generation, the second generation, and even Zeref's group are watching. I guarantee they can't do anything!"
In the original timeline, Ivan used illusions to deceive the audience, and an entire guild teamed up to fight Laxus but was killed in return. However, this kind of thing will not happen now.
First of all, it is impossible for Brian, Yaluo and others to obey Ivan's outrageous operation;
Secondly, Mavis was standing right here alive, so Ivan's words about 'Fairy Tail is full of darkness' were totally ineffective, and everyone in the guild probably knew more than he did;
Finally, as Kira said, with so many big guys watching, if Ivan makes any move, it will definitely not be hidden from Kira whose perception is fully open, Preshito who is hiding somewhere unknown, and Jellal's group.
But Jacob, who had just come on the scene, had the ability to "see through invisible things". In his eyes, the illusion was thinner than a transparent veil, not to mention Auguste, Jellal and others.
"Next is the fourth game!!"
"The candidates for the battle are..."
"Laxus Dorea of 'Fairy Tail'!!"
"Arlok of 'Crow's Tail'!!"
