Chapter 720: Jura vs. the Seal of the War
Snap, snap, snap…
Just as the twin sisters Siduo and Korai were immersed in the joy of defeating Breya, the crisp applause coming from behind made their faces turn pale instantly.
Yes, this is a two-player battle, and our opponent has another person!
The applause stopped, and Urrutia's voice rang out: "You played well, so..."
"so?"
"So, you guys should stop here!"
The twins looked at each other, understood each other's feelings, and nodded secretly.
Turning around, I saw my body rioting!
"White Dragon's Meteor!"
"Shadow Dragon's Spear!!"
The girl moved around and surrounded him, as fast and powerful as a meteor, as sharp and cunning as a spear. However, Urrutia remained calm and fearless.
"Wow! This guy Urrutia is really good..." Kira secretly praised in the stands, "Just this pretentious demeanor has already given me a three-point shot!"
In the arena, Urrutia was calm and composed, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and in a trance, the shadow of Uru seemed to appear on her body. The mother and daughter moved in sync, lightly raised their fists and touched them lightly in front of them!
"Ice Rose Garden!!"
In the blink of an eye, the cold wind blew over, and countless lavender ice roses, along with vines and thorns, rose from the ground!
This Rose Garden move is Urrutia’s ultimate move. It is not used easily, but once used, it will definitely be amazing. However, the amazingness does not come from its power, but its beauty!
Under the sweep of magic power, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
Delicate and gorgeous roses stretched across the entire arena. In the biting cold wind, tiny ice crystals fluttered in the wind, reflecting dazzling light in the sun. They were like real rose pollen. After being blown onto the audience seats, the audience felt as if they were in a rose garden and could even smell a faint fragrance in a trance.
"What a nice view!"
“Smells so good!!”
“It’s so cold!!!”
This 'Rose Garden' move not only interrupted the twin girls' magic, but also trapped them in the flowers, unable to escape.
In the flowers, the bodies of the two sisters were gradually covered by ice. The stamens of the roses were extremely hard, and the thorns and spikes of the vines were even sharper. Not only did they scratch their clothes, but they also pierced into their bodies, leaving faint bloodstains on their bodies. The blood slowly flowed down , as if trying to dye this ice garden a real red.
The two of them didn't have much magic power to begin with, and they had just fought with Breya, and now they were facing Urrutia's ultimate move. They were directly knocked down and had no power to fight back.
In desperation, he could only endure the pain and shout in surrender.
Under the referee's refereeing, the winner was decided, and Urrutia cleared the rose garden and released the two women. The two women looked at Urrutia with regret and fear, and then obediently followed the staff to the medical room.
In the stands, Laxus's expression was uncertain.
He was not surprised by the defeat of the two girls. Although they were both second-generation dragon slayers, he had long seen that their talents were average and their training time was short. They were at most at the level of Leibi, so he did not count this game as a victory from the beginning.
However, he didn't expect Urrutia to win so easily.
"I often see that woman hanging out with Killer in the guild, but I always thought she was at most on the level of Natsu or Gray. Now it seems that she might be even stronger than Erza..."
Miscalculated!
This was Laxus' only thought right now.
When he compared the high-end combat power of the two teams yesterday, he placed Urrutia slightly lower than Erza and Mira, but now the opponent's performance surprised him.
If I had known that Urrutia was so strong, I shouldn't have used the 'strong vs strong, weak vs weak' strategy last night!
"Forget it. The list of players has already been submitted and cannot be changed now. There is no point in thinking about it!"
After calming down, Laxus once again focused on the next single battle.
"The one that Kira sends out for the second single battle should be Natsu, right? Judging from this situation, he can definitely win !"
In Laxus' opinion, there was no way Kira would put Natsu in the final single match because he was not strong enough to be the final trump card to decide the outcome.
"The second single-player battle of the day is about to begin. Let us welcome the magician Demaria Yesta of 'Emperor's Shield' and the magician Jura Regis of 'Snake Princess's Scale'!!"
"Huh?? It's that guy?!"
Laxus looked at Kira in surprise, obviously not expecting this.
"This is not good..."
He had heard of Timaria's magic a long time ago and had also seen it during the guild's S-level assessment last year. He knew that she had the ability to stop time and could also receive the soul of Chronos, the god of time, to gain even more powerful strength.
Faced with the time freeze, if the wizard himself does not have strong enough magic power, he will not be able to cope with it at all; once the opponent enters the state of receiving the gods, unless he has the magic of destroying gods, the most likely result is failure.
Now he could only hope that Jola could handle it.
"Don't let me down, uncle..."
"Don't let me down, uncle!"
In the arena, Dimalia said the same thing to Jola, but her tone sounded more like she was talking to a challenger who was not as strong as herself.
"Young people nowadays...are really amazing!"
Timaria's simple words made drops of sweat appear on Jura's big bald head.
When the team had a meeting last night, he had already heard about Timaria's magic from Inbel and others, so he knew that he had no advantage in magic in this duel. He could only see if he could turn the situation around with his magic power.
"Be careful, the game might be over in a moment!"
Drawing out the golden dagger from the golden shoulder armor on her right arm, Dimaria immediately put on a mocking sneer on her face.
Her concise movements, graceful waistline and slender hands make her look like a leopard with both speed and strength.
"The battle begins!!" On the judges' panel, commentator Chapati shouted into the microphone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jola immediately took action: "Rock iron net!!"
After one night, he had figured out a way to deal with the Time Seal. Time pause was not a panacea. If he did not have enough time to respond during the battle, he would have to use magic.
Boom boom...
Jola frantically urged his magic power to the point where his casting speed almost reached the instantaneous level. Everyone saw a series of thick, long and hard stone spikes rising from a two-meter range around Jola's body, and then quickly bent and closed above Jola's head, forming a spacious stone cage.
This move was originally used to trap the enemy, but now Jola trapped himself in it!
"Ohhhh!! Great!!"
Seeing Jura's actions, Kira immediately understood his plan: "As long as I am trapped, even if I can't react to Dimalia's actions during the pause time, she can't attack me!"
Previously, because Timaria underestimated the enemy and wanted to see how Jura, one of the "Ten Holy Ones" of Ishgar, would deal with her magic, she did not attack him at the first time. Now she has been left outside the stone prison.
The stone prison is in the shape of a mesh, with a hollow section in the middle that allows both sides to see the battlefield clearly.
Since the rock magic used by Jura is a long-range combat type, being trapped in the stone prison does not affect his combat power; on the contrary, although Timalia can pause time, she mostly uses melee combat, so her attacks are restricted - she cannot cross the stone prison to attack Jura inside.
"He was able to come up with a solution so quickly. He must have a lot of combat experience!"
"But it's not like you can just build a turtle shell to protect yourself from time magic. Otherwise, Timaria wouldn't have become one of the twelve shields that the Albares Empire couldn't shake."
"Time magic is not that simple!"
As if in response to Kira's words, in the arena, Timaria's eyes suddenly became sharp.
