Chapter 681: Dimalia: I believe Kira is a wise man
As a toy gun, the magic gun in Kira's hand does not need to be loaded at all, and can be shot by just raising it, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the game.
Kira looked up at the surrounding buildings, then picked up his gun, used flying magic to fly into the air, and soon arrived at a high and hidden position.
Looking down, a graceful figure in cool clothes came into view.
Dimalia held a gun in her hand and looked around vigilantly. Her short golden hair swayed with her head and her half-naked chest swayed . Although it was a coincidence, it became the best prop to confuse the hunter.
Whether it was this huge magnanimity or the fact that she was the only female shooter in this game, Dimalia attracted the attention of many viewers from the very beginning. Her position and actions were the first focus of this game. Even Kira's existence could not compare to her.
And now, even Kira's eyes were on her.
"Okay, okay... just walking down the street like this openly shows that you don't even consider other shooters as your rivals!"
Kira knew that this was because Dimalia had absolute confidence in her magic.
The Time Seal can stop the time within the range of magic. This almost bug-like magic allows Timaria to easily dodge bullets, lock the gunman's position, move behind the opponent, shoot wildly, and leave gracefully the moment she finds the bullet attack.
Just thinking about it, I can imagine how much advantage this process can have in this kind of competition. As for the range of Demaria's magic power...
She is a 'female knight galloping on the battlefield'!
In the original comic, she led a large army to invade the Kingdom of Fiore, and was able to move freely in the huge army of unknown number of people, so the range of this magic power at least covers the entire army. Then wouldn't it be easy to cover this venue?
In fact, she could have stopped time right now, slowly found other people, and then shot, but Dimalia didn't do that at this time because she knew Kira was present.
In the last S-rank assessment of Fairy Tail, Kira had clearly broken Timaria's Time Seal, so she knew that she could do nothing against Kira with this trick, and he might even break it directly, which would be disadvantageous to her.
So now Timalia’s idea is very simple, that is to avoid Kira as much as possible and get shooting points from other people.
Dimalia straightened her back and strode forward with her head held high: "Humph! Kira Hoplite... As long as you don't hit me, I won't cause you any trouble. I hope you take care of yourself!"
She believed that Kira was a sensible man and would not act rashly!
Kira raised his gun and aimed, ready to get the first kill of the game: "Take my shot, Dimalia!"
BANG !!!
Suddenly a gunshot broke the silence of the street.
"Oops?! I forgot to mute the sound!!"
"What?! Who's shooting?!"
Kira, who fired the shot, and Timalia, who was shot, exclaimed at the same time, and then reacted at the same time.
Timaria simply stopped the time around her, then quickly lunged forward, squatted, turned around and looked back at her original position. When she looked up again, she saw a red paint bullet frozen in the air.
The red bullet indicates that Kira was the one who fired the shot.
“This bastard!!”
He gritted his teeth, anger grew, and after identifying the direction from which the bullet came, Timalia rushed towards that direction without stopping!
However, after only taking two steps forward, Dimalia forced herself to suppress her anger and stopped.
"I can't go...I can't win even if I go!"
"Hold on! You must hold on!"
At this moment, Timalia was like a little girl who was bullied by a bad uncle outside. She was obviously very angry, but unable to resist. She could only wait until she got home to ask her parents to intervene.
"No, I can't stand it! At least fire a shot first to express my anger!!"
The more she endured, the angrier she would get. The more she took a step back, the more she would feel at a disadvantage. Timaria could no longer suppress her temper, so she raised her sniper rifle and fired a shot in the direction where the bullet was coming from.
Bang!
"Not good enough, try again!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! …
As one of the Twelve Shields, it goes without saying that Dimaria has the most magic in her body. Except for Kira, she has the most magic in the entire arena. In this hunting ground where magic is the same as bullets, she is equivalent to having the second largest bullet library after Kira.
After a random series of blind sniping and finding that there was no movement from the opposite side, Timaria then resumed the flow of time.
Whoosh——bang!
The paused time finally resumed, and the red paint bomb that had been frozen in the air only fell to the ground at this time, leaving a red paint mark on the ground.
"Escaped?"
Looking at the lonely red mark on the ground, Dimalia almost exploded with anger.
The audience woke up as if from a dream.
During their time, they only saw Kira shoot at Timaria, and after the gunshot, Timaria disappeared instantly, and the bullet missed.
"Damn Kira, with so many people around, he was the first one to shoot at a girl?!"
"What's going on?! Where is my Dimaria-chan?"
"Look! Kira is gone too!!"
"There are a lot of paint bullet marks there! It was Dimalia who fired the gun!! But when did it happen…"
Before the competition began, Kira and others had already conducted test firings to ensure the functionality of the guns, so both the contestants and the spectators knew the color of everyone's bullets.
Kira's paint bullets are red, while Timaria's paint bullets are gold, making them easy to identify.
Kira and Timalia disappeared from the crystal screen in an instant, causing a commotion in the audience, but soon they saw the two people on another screen.
“Over there!!”
"When did it pass? It was so fast!!"
"Could it be space magic?"
"No... If it's space magic, then what's with the golden bullet mark over there? That's what Dimaria-chan left after she fired the gun, right?"
Although the magic of the Kingdom of Fiore is not as widespread as that of the Albares Empire, more than 70% of the people watching the game here are wizards, so they are not surprised by the strange magic.
However, even so, they did not associate it with the idea of time stopping.
It's not that it's unexpected, but influenced by certain books, most people think that it's more reasonable for the user of magic like time stop to be a man.
"So... just now, without us being able to see clearly, did Kira and the other two engage in a shooting battle?"
"No... It should be just Kira's one-sided test, and then Dimalia fought back, because there are no more red marks on the ground."
At the 'Emperor's Shield' position, Ajir looked at the angry Timaria and couldn't help laughing.
“Hahaha… I didn’t expect that Dimalia would fail sometimes! This is the first time I’ve seen that woman show such an expression! That guy named Kira is really good!!”
Augustus shook his head. He just felt sorry for Ajir, a guy with such a bad habit of magic. He had decent talent in magic, but his character was too bad.
Inbel, who has similar strength to him, has restrained his arrogance a lot after experiencing yesterday's failure. He knows shame and then becomes brave. After his arrogance is worn away, he should go further in the field of magic in the future.
In comparison, Ajir has not suffered enough of a blow. In this state, he is still far from being able to succeed the Albares Empire!
"Kira Hopelet is not a simple person. His magical ability may even be better than mine!"
"Are you serious, Master August? That kid?"
Ajir has never seen Kira take action, so he has a very unclear understanding of his strength.
"Don't underestimate the strong in this world, Ajir, he is very strong!"
Inside the stadium, the sudden sound of gunfire startled the other six people.
“Is this the beginning?”
"What a pity! It looks like the first shot was ineffective..."
"Are you over there? It doesn't matter who you are, I'm coming!! WILD FOUR!!!"
(Audience: Doesn’t that guy have any hidden consciousness at all?!)
"It's the scent of a woman's anger, MEN~"
(Audience: What kind of nose is this?!)
…
"What a pity...what happened just now."
Kira, who had already climbed up another building, put down the magic sniper rifle that was aimed at his original position, "I actually forgot to turn on the silencer, and in the end, Dimalia didn't rush up to take a look, and missed two opportunities in vain!"
"But never mind, let's just let her go for now."
Kira cast a layer of distortion magic around himself to prevent sneak attacks from bullets, and also cast a layer of silencing magic within three feet to prevent the sound from leaking out. Then he began to walk towards the next target within his magical perception.
