Chapter 691: The Strongest Blow
"The situation... seems to be a little bad..."
Makarov sighed regretfully, "Natsu and Cana, are they really too much of a stretch?"
As he spoke, the old man could not help but punch the stone wall beside him with his fist: "If it was Kira or Erza, they would definitely be able to defeat that Jura!!"
Hey, hey, hey... Why do I feel like the president has gone insane...? ?
Erza was still very modest in her heart. Although she had gained the reputation of "Eluza's Sword" yesterday, she had not yet used her cheats to such an outrageous degree. So after hearing Makarov's words, she immediately said, "Even if it was me, if my teammates were Natsu or Cana, it would take more than 30 minutes to defeat Jurasan..."
"On the other hand, if it was Kira who went into battle, even if he was alone, he should be able to defeat Jura-san in ten minutes."
Kira didn't want to pay attention to Erza's seemingly humble but actually Versailles remarks, but her last words were so pleasant to the ear, and as everyone knew, Erza was a simple person, and what she said must be sincere, so Kira couldn't help but straighten his back and feel complacent.
"Wakakaka!! Back when I was serious, it only took me a minute to beat Jellal. I'm not exaggerating, but a mere Jura, why would it take ten minutes?"
Are you really out of breath when I say you are fat?
Makarov glanced at Kira. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk too much with this irritating guy.
The progress of Natsu and others is obvious to all, but it is still limited. Compared to the end of the original comic, they have spent more time now, but their strength is not necessarily much greater.
The first reason is that these people have been staying in the guild all the time, and at most they go out to work. Every day they either eat, drink, play, or go on dates and sleep. This kind of life is too comfortable, unlike the one-year training time in the original work; the second reason is that the second source of magic in their bodies has not been activated.
Kira himself had never activated the second magic source, so influenced by the original work, he always thought that the second magic source only gave Natsu and his group an additional three months of training growth, but later found out that this was not the case.
In fact, the opening of the second magic source not only increased the magic capacity of Natsu and others, but also greatly increased their training talent and speed.
If the qualification before the opening was 70, then it rose to 90 after the opening. It just takes time to transform this qualification into strength, and this time is the year when the guild was disbanded.
Therefore, the qualifications of Natsu and others who have not yet opened the second magic source remain at 70. Although their bodies have spent almost the same amount of time, the improvement is not as much as expected.
Another thing is, the boss battles in the comics cannot be used to calculate strength, because they are almost all won by cheating. For example, the final battles against Zeref and Acnorolia cannot be considered as Natsu’s normal strength. Only his daily performance, or positioning, can show his true combat power!
Jura's positioning is undoubtedly on the same level as Laxus.
For Laxus alone, it would be easy to deal with Natsu and Cana together. He might even be able to do it with one hand! So it is reasonable that Natsu and Cana are being beaten by Jura alone.
At this moment, Kira felt a sudden shake under his feet, and a huge amount of magic power gushed out from the arena! !
"Hmm? Such high-intensity magic power?"
Kira turned his head and saw that the offense and defense on the field had changed again. The original stone sculpture of the God of War had turned into countless stones, trapping Natsu and Cana in two stone prisons. At this time, Jura was closing his eyes and clasping his hands together, as if praying. His magic power rushed straight to the sky, causing strange phenomena in the sky. Dark clouds gathered and covered the sky and the sun.
The audience immediately started talking and looked nervous.
"Is it the same trick you used yesterday?!"
"Such a heavy magic power..."
"Are you trying to end the battle in one move?"
Boom boom...
The magic power began to bombard the ground. The violent magic power caused the mountains to shake and the earth to rumble.
"Ringing Rich Prison!!"
Jola shouted in a deep voice, and with the help of his endless energy, he rushed towards the two stone prisons. The golden light occupied the entire field of vision.
Just when everyone thought that the outcome was about to be decided, the two stone prisons exploded with a loud bang, and were covered by magic power, turning into two figures, one red and one white, who walked out.
"That's Natsu's Fire Mode?! If it's Cana..."
At this moment, Kana's entire body was covered with a layer of dazzling magical white light. When she took a step forward, the ground beneath her feet suddenly sank three inches and cracked in all directions.
Seeing this scene with a strong sense of immediacy, everyone in Fairy Tail widened their eyes unconsciously and looked at Gildarts at the same time.
"That's crushing magic?!"
"As expected of Cana!! The way she uses this magic is exactly the same as Gildarts!!"
"Hahaha... Of course! After all, Kana is my precious daughter!!"
"You were obviously shocked yourself..."
"When did Kana master such advanced magic as Decomposition Magic?"
"It's the cards! Cards!!"
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Kira shook his finger and explained: "In the latest set of cards, Kana specially created a 'Crush Card'. After using it, you can temporarily gain the power of 'Crush Magic'."
"It's her trump card~"
Gildarts was so excited that he burst into tears. He was relieved and laughed and jumped up: "Hahaha... the ultimate weapon? Of course it is! After all, it is my magic!!"
“It’s not over yet!”
Natsu shouted loudly and urged his magic power again, and the terrifying flames ignited again. At that moment, everyone felt as if a fiery red sun had fallen into the arena.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Red Lotus Blade!"
The terrifying flames condensed into sharp blades, instantly crushing the other two magics. Under Natsu's extreme output, they moved forward indiscriminately, and seemed to .
The balance was broken, and Jura and Kana did not dare to hold back any longer. They also squeezed out all their magic power and decided the victory or defeat with one strike.
Jula's face changed, as if facing a formidable enemy, he immediately clasped his palms together, and his whole body emitted a dazzling golden light. Countless rock fists rose up around him, also wrapped in bright golden light, pouring out like a storm.
"Overlord Rock Crusher!!"
At the same time, Kana broke through her limit, gathered all her magic power into her arms, activated her strongest move 'Crushing Card', and then swung her fist forward with force.
“Smash it, destroy the evil and reveal the truth!!”
Amid the shouts of Jura, Natsu and Cana, the three energies of fire, earth and crushing each showed their power, continuously accumulating, and finally meeting in the air, just like three incompatible balloons squeezed in the same small space, one coming and going, one advancing and one retreating.
"It appears!! The strongest attack!!"
"The three people in the duel finally used their strongest attacks!!"
"Natsu-san's exclusive magic as a dragon slayer wizard, a dragon slayer secret technique that only exists in ancient books and is rarely seen! The strongest move of Jura-san's rock magic, which can trap and detonate people, has made him famous as the 'Holy Ten'! And the extremely rare 'decomposition magic' from the shattering secret technique, which is said to be able to shatter a mountain with one punch!!"
"What a strength! What a wonderful duel!!"
Chapati was holding the microphone, extremely excited at the moment. Compared to those wizards who had already become famous or whose origins were unknown, the duel between the new generation like Natsu and Cana who had just emerged or were not well-known, and Jura, a long-famous old senior, was more attractive to them!
Bang——!
Kana had the lowest magic power and it was difficult for her to continue the competition of magic pressure. She could not help but take a half step back. The ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked and a drop of cold sweat fell from her forehead along her hair.
"What a terrible magic..."
As Kana's magic weakened, the three-way stalemate was instantly broken. The three huge magical energies could no longer maintain balance and suddenly exploded! !
The mountains shook, the earth trembled, the sky turned upside down, and the violent energy turned into a hurricane that swept the entire arena! !
"No! Get down now!!"
“Ahhh!! I’m… I’m going to be blown away…”
"Look! There's a blue and white stripe in the sky..."
Compared to the turbulent flow of 'ice - rocks - swords' that froze the arena yesterday, or the battle that stepped on the entire mountain but was soon blown up by a punch, the magical impact caused by these three people in front of them had a greater impact on the audience! !
After an unknown amount of time, the strong wind finally stopped.
Heads popped out from under the seats, casting their gazes toward the smoke-filled arena.
It was at this time——
Ding ding ding!!!
"Time is up, the game is over!!"
Everyone was stunned, and then asked questions at the same time.
"Eh? Is this the end?? What's the result? Who won?!"
"It looks like we'll have to wait until the smoke clears to find out..."
Finally, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing the scene in the arena: the ground was mottled, full of burnt ash and crushed rubble, and it looked like a ruin again.
Jura, Natsu, and Cana were each in a corner of the arena, all half-kneeling on the ground. All three were still conscious, and although they were gasping for breath, they seemed to have plenty of physical and magical strength, and it was obvious that the battle was not over yet!
"It seems that the situation is very clear!!"
"The result of this duel is... a draw!!"
