Chapter 701: Speed? Racing?
"So, that guy is really Erye?"
Looking at the candidate for the 'Blue Pegasus' appearance, Kira blinked his sky-blue eyes in confusion.
To say it was unexpected, it wasn't particularly unexpected. After all, with the influence of the original work, he could understand why this person, who was exactly the same as Yi Ye, appeared here, but...
Shouldn't these two guys meet a few years later? Remember in the comics X791 , during the Great Demon Fighting, Ichiya said that they met 'not long ago'. Now it's several years earlier?
Kira could only attribute it to the influence of the parallel world.
"Two nights? Is it as powerful as one night?"
Makarov didn't know this Erye, so he was suspicious and looked at Natsu, Happy and others who seemed to know something.
In the Edlas instance that Kira did not experience together, they had experienced a great battle in Edlas and forged a deep friendship with the Transcendents.
After the 'soul' reversal, all magical beings were teleported to Ascalante, including the Transcendents. Erye, the commander of the Transcendents' Guards Division, was naturally among them.
However, Habibi and other cats didn't know how Erye joined the 'Blue Pegasus'. They could only sigh in surprise and astonishment, saying it was fate!
“No... I don’t think so..." Several people who knew the combat power of the Transcendents waved their hands.
This "no" was a euphemism. What they really thought in their hearts was "that guy is a loser, not even as good as a harpy", but they just didn't say it out loud.
I don't know when they became so 'well-educated', maybe...
"Perhaps he was influenced by me and became more refined?"
Kira thought to himself, 'Isn't Gajeel the best example? He was a bad boy back then, but now he is so timid that he doesn't even dare to raise his head in front of Levi!'
He felt that he was now a living saint in the magic world. Not only was he good at magic and had great talent, but he was also very good at educating people. He had learned a lot from Makarov and was even better than him, forming his own school.
I will definitely be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Fiore, or even Ascalante, in the future!
"Although you may not be as strong as Yi Ye, don't forget that the title of today's 'competition' is 'speed racing'! And the opponent is a transcendent who can fly!"
When Erza reminded them, Natsu and the others thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly, but they did not dare to refute.
"The Great Demon Fighting Competition... What a wonderful competition..."
Lucy No. 1 looked at the crowd cheering and supporting her in the venue, then looked at the seven people preparing to compete in the arena, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity, we don't have this in our world..."
Due to the influence of 'Nirvana', World No. 1 was completely changed, so naturally no one would hold these competitions. In addition, Lucy No. 1 had been working hard to deal with her companions that year, so naturally she had never seen such regularity.
In the arena...
"Transcendence? If I could fly, it would be very helpful..."
Looking at the second night that was exactly the same as the first night, the remaining six contestants all marveled at the wonder of the world: "There are actually people who can look like this... and there are two of them!!"
"It would be embarrassing if I lost to him..."
"But he can fly!!"
When it comes to long-distance moving speed, no matter how strong you are, normally you can’t beat those who can fly. This is the racial gap!
"What's so great about being able to fly? Just shoot it down! I don't want to lose to that guy..."
"Speaking of the Transcendents... they don't seem to be considered human..."
Shirley was thoughtful, with a sly gleam in her bright eyes.
Erye, who had just come on the field, felt an inexplicable malice. His body shook three times unconsciously. He took a half step back and looked vigilantly at the group of tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves around him.
Then they turned their eyes to the last person, from the Emperor's Shield, a guild that was ranked first together with Fairy Tail. Today they sent out a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a gentleman.
"Speaking of which, this uncle... doesn't look like someone who can run..."
Jacob Xiuleo, the legendary killer in the assassination world!
Sensing everyone's gazes, Jacob just smiled gently. He looked a little funny, but seemed gentle and elegant, without any murderous intent: "Don't look at me like this, I have plenty of physical strength!"
As a qualified killer, how could his physical strength be weak?
Amid the cheers of the audience, a long track appeared in the arena.
The track is built around the inside of the arena, with a total length of 5 kilometers. There are many obstacles on it. If you want to reach the finish line, you need to cross these obstacles, which looks very challenging.
Chapati was once again full of enthusiasm, announcing the rules of today's competition to the eager contestants and the enthusiastic audience.
"Today's competition will be decided by 'race'. The top three will receive 15/10/5 points respectively,"
"Now, everyone, take your positions! Get ready--!!"
BANG!!
With the sound of a gunshot, the race officially began.
Laxus took the lead and turned into thunder to travel on the road. His figure appeared and disappeared, and everyone only saw a flash of golden thunder rushing forward on the track intermittently at an astonishing speed.
"What is that??"
"It's the Laxus who defeated the 18 evil gods the day before yesterday!!"
"That's too much! He can actually turn into lightning. The speed of lightning is so fast. Do the rest of us need to compete with him?"
"Wow!! Laxus really is the fastest man in the guild!"
As the people around him kept exclaiming and gasping, Laxus became more and more proud. He curled his lips and let out a sneer, immersed in the honor of being the 'fastest man'.
"Why does that guy seem to be enjoying it so much..."
Kira couldn't understand. Was being the 'fastest man' really an honor? Men... shouldn't be too fast, right?
The second in the team was Sawyer from 'Witch's Sin'. The new magic he had researched in the past two years could reduce the perception of others while increasing his own speed. In addition, his own magic power was not low - at least at Fairy Tail A-level, so he looked relaxed and comfortable.
"Except for that guy, I am very confident in my speed!!"
It's not like Sawyer had never fought against Laxus before. When the guild coalition was attacking the 'Six Demon Generals', Laxus suddenly intervened and punched each of them as soon as he arrived, knocking them down directly. This left a big psychological trauma in Sawyer's mind, which has not completely dissipated until now.
He even remembered that the punch was aimed at the nose!
"Every time I see news about that guy, my nose starts to hurt... ah! It's hurting again now!!"
Looking at the golden thunder in front of him, Sawyer felt that no matter how hard he tried to mobilize his magic power, he could never match it.
The third person running on the track is also a second-generation Dragon Slayer, a Shadow Dragon Slayer from the 'Heart of the Dragon', the girl Korai.
She turned into a shadow and lurked underground. Her speed was equally astonishing. Moreover, in this state, she could also ignore obstacles on the track, killing two birds with one stone.
If there are people underground, there must be people in heaven.
"Look, what's that in the sky?!"
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Everyone looked up and saw another figure in the sky... no, two figures!!
One is Erye who used wing magic, spread his wings and flew ahead. He looked sad and in tears. Since he couldn't move, he could only use his expression to tell everyone how reluctant he was at the moment.
The other one is... Shirley, who used the magic 'Puppet Show' on Erye and controlled Erye to fly with her.
"ah……"
"this……"
Yiye was so angry that he spoke up for his good brother. If he hadn't been stopped by Xiang, Jenny and others, he would have almost jumped onto the judges' podium to compare height with Chapati.
"That's too much! That's too much!! This is a foul! A foul!!"
"Calm down , One Night Boss! Magic has not been prohibited in this competition from the beginning, so it is normal for the opponent to use magic. If you leave the court, we will really be committing a foul! !"
What could he do that night? He could only swallow his tears and look at his good brother being driven around in the air, feeling extremely painful.
"Women are so scary..."
"That's too absolute! But that guy's actions were indeed outrageous!!"
Kira thought of the story in the legend of his previous life, about the order of the twelve zodiac animals. The cunning mouse bullied the honest and simple-minded ox and took the first place in the twelve zodiac animals. It seemed that the method used was also this!
The only difference is that the mouse rode on the ox's head and snatched his zodiac chief position - this strategy is called the "ox head strategy", and later generations often use it to describe some behaviors of encroaching on other people's property; and Shirley in front of him was caught by Erye.
"Wow! Look at that! The view under the skirt!!"
"Oh oh oh!! I'm sorry! I suddenly feel that she is not so hateful..."
"Me too!"
"Me too……"
"What? A vicious woman? Open your eyes and take a good look! She is so beautiful, flying in the sky, with white wings behind her. What is this? This is clearly an angel!!"
"That's right! It's an angel!!"
"Angel!! Angel!!..."
