Chapter 718: Double Battle 1 - Kira: This is the weakest person in our team
"Good morning, Mina-san~!!"
"Did you sleep well last night? Did you replenish enough energy and spirit for watching the game today? Don't take a nap during the game~"
"After four days of elimination matches, the Grand Demon Fighting Competition has finally ushered in a new competition format. Today, I, Chapati, will be the commentator for you all."
"Twenty-two mages from seven magic guilds will be divided into two teams to fight three one-on-one matches and four two-on-two matches, for a total of seven duels."
"The duel will be held in the order of 'double battle - single battle'. The duel judgment will be different from the previous few days. There is only victory or defeat, no draw!"
"The losing wizard will be eliminated, and the winning wizard will be able to advance and continue the competition tomorrow!"
"In addition, the team that wins four or more duels will be treated to a dinner specially prepared for them by the Fiore royal family!"
"At this moment, the captains of the two teams, Kira Hopelet and Laxus Dolea, have handed me their respective team's appearance rosters."
As she spoke, the commentator Chapati raised the list on the table and waved it in front of the 50,000 spectators, "This list was confirmed by me and the other two judges, and the order of appearance will not be changed later!!"
"Without further ado, let's invite the four wizards for today's first doubles battle!!"
"Team Kira sent out Richard, the wizard from the magic guild 'Witch's Sin', and Pacas, the ace from the magic guild 'Four Hounds'!!"
"And the Laxus team sent out the wizards from the magic guild 'Snake Princess Scale', Yuuka and Tobi!!"
“Applause to welcome them!!!”
Since it was the first match, Chapati spared no effort to ignite the atmosphere of the entire venue, and even her voice was much louder than yesterday.
"I feel like... there's not much suspense in this round..."
The wizards present were all knowledgeable, and when they heard the names, they immediately shared the past battle records of several wizards.
Richard, a former member of the 'Six Demon Generals', is currently a member of the 'Witch's Sin', a special magic guild under the royal family. He usually keeps a low profile in the guild, but in the past two years, he can basically be seen in the news about the crackdown on dark guilds. He has never lost a game since his debut and his strength is very strong!
There is no need to mention Pakas, whose palm strike could split mountains and crack rocks with one hand, and the alcohol made his power even more powerful.
As the ace of the 'Four Headed Hounds', and the first wizard to win the duel mode on the first day of the Grand Magic Fighting Games, his popularity is higher than Richard!
As for Yuuka and Tobi... one is a taciturn person, and the other is a psychopath. They are only famous in the towns near the "Scales of the Snake Princess". When it comes to such a big event in the entire Fiore Kingdom, their popularity combined is not as high as that of Pakas alone.
Finally, the most important thing is strength. Even if Yuka is the third best master of "Snake Princess Scale", it is basically impossible for him to win against soft earth magic and splitting palm!
In the waiting area, Kira and Laxus leaned against a stone pillar side by side, their eyes following the four people who entered the arena.
"Are we going to let these two go at the beginning?"
In Laxus's opinion, this kind of competition is like a war, it should be king against king, general against general, and the weakest should start the battle.
"There's nothing I can do. These are the smallest ones I have... No, they are the weakest wizards in my team." Kira spread his hands, looking smug and arrogant.
The weakest? That's bullshit!
Laxus looked back at Narubudingku and Breya, two wizards from the "Crow's Tail", and sneered.
Narubudinku: Why is this guy suddenly sneering at me? ? I don’t have that kind of hobby…
Breya: Is this guy the son of President Ivan? He looks pretty handsome...
If expressions could speak, then the way these two people look now are equivalent to idiots who speak without thinking.
Kira saw the expressions of the two people, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: I can understand the emotions of this short and fat uncle, but what is this woman doing? Is she really in love? ?
Thinking back to the original work, this brown-skinned girl seemed to like 'Gray who pretends to be evil', maybe she just likes this kind of cold man.
In the arena, the four people who were about to face off stood facing each other.
Yuka put his hands behind his back, his back straight, and under his unique pair of thick eyebrows, his eyes stared at the two tall figures in front of him.
It must be said that both Richard and Pacas are tall, just one is stronger and the other is thinner. However, they both look oppressive in front of the shorter Yuka.
"These two guys? They're not easy to fight..."
Yuka saw at a glance how powerful the two men were, and then woke up the dog-headed man Toby beside him, "Don't be careless!"
In fact, he also knew that it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake as carelessness. At most, he would be fooled.
On the other hand, the atmosphere between Richard and Pacas was unusually harmonious.
"Thank you for taking care of my brother."
Pacas raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and chuckled, "Hmm? You are talking about Wally, right? I did hear that his brother is in 'Witch's Sin'. So it's you."
Worri joined the 'Four Headed Hounds' a year ago. Although he was more interested in movies and often slacked off from his work, resulting in his lack of strength and failure to qualify for the competition, Pakas still knew this man.
"Thank you so much!" Richard expressed his gratitude sincerely.
“Hahaha… That guy is pretty wild too! WILD~FOUR!!”
Ding ding ding!!!
The gong sounds and the game begins.
Yuuka knew that his side was not strong enough, so he raised his hand and attacked without hesitation: "Wave Launcher!!"
The magic power transformed into two invisible shock waves that attacked forward, and ripples appeared in the space in silence.
Richard and Pacas had already sensed the oncoming attack, and each of them had their own response:
The former stood still on the spot, but suddenly opened his eyes, and a large amount of flowing soil suddenly rushed into the sky to form a defense, and exploded with a bang under the shock wave; the latter stepped sideways and moved several meters easily. His agility and agility amazed the audience.
“Take that!!”
As soon as Pakas landed, he was attacked by Toby.
At the same time as Yuka launched the attack, the kobold also rushed forward, quickly determined the landing point of Pakas, then pounced, stretched out his arms, and scratched the air with ten slender fingers, leaving ten unreserved scratches .
Pakas was quick-witted and agile. He heard the opponent's attack while in the air. He tapped his toes lightly the moment he landed, took advantage of the momentum and stepped back again to avoid the opponent, while letting out a cry of praise.
"Ohhhh!! What a dangerous attack!!"
"Really? Thank you for the compliment!!"
Toby expressed his gratitude sincerely, but his hands were indeed dissatisfied. With a slight electric current, his paralyzing claws pounced on Pacas again with a strange beast-like movement.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One of them attacked while the other dodged, and it seemed that Toby had the upper hand, but in fact he attacked more than ten times without hitting the target once. Instead, he consumed a lot of physical strength and made himself very tired. However, Pakas performed with ease and did not even take a breath.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Pakas was draining Toby's strength, and when he ran out of energy, he would decide the outcome with a single blow, so they all mourned for Toby.
Although he's not very strong, everyone still likes this silly dog man...
Seeing this battle situation, Grandma Oppa of 'Snake Princess Scale' was anxious and angry: "What are you two doing?! Fight well!!"
The magicians in this Grand Magic Fight were too powerful. Without Leon's help, Jura had to rely on himself to hold up the Scales of the Snake Princess over the past few days. Fortunately, three of them managed to make it to the present.
Originally, she was counting on Yuuka and Tobi to hold on for two more days, but who knew that the little kid from 'Fairy Tail' would release them right away today.
It would be fine if she released him, but she was facing the members of the 'Six Demon Generals' and the trump cards of the 'Four Hounds'. The probability of her winning this duel would not reach 50% no matter how much she tried to deceive herself.
Toby didn't realize that he had fallen into a trap. He was still attacking hard while panting. The strength of each claw attack remained the same, but his speed was indeed getting slower and slower.
On the other side, Yuka's situation was not good either.
Although Richard's strength may not reach that of Jura , it is certain that he is stronger than Leon, and it is not difficult for him to deal with Yuka.
With a wave of his hand, the ground of the arena suddenly softened and became like a swamp. At the same time, floating soil tens of meters high rolled up from all sides, trying to swallow up the people standing in it.
"This is really tricky..."
"Wave Barrier!!"
The principle of Yuka's magic is to use vibration waves to offset the opponent's magic. This trick has a greater restraint on elemental magic such as water, fire, wind and thunder, but the effect on solid magic such as rock and quicksand will be greatly reduced.
Because ordinary shock waves cannot eliminate these substances, the barrier created can only achieve a rebound effect at best. He can only let the barrier cover his entire body and defend himself like a turtle shell. He can't even find a chance to attack.
Boom boom...
The ochre-colored flowing earth poured down, completely submerging Yuka.
