Chapter 721 When Time Stops
In the tense and serious arena, Jura and Timalia stared at each other in silence across the khaki stone prison.
Dimalia held the dagger in front of her with her backhand, her eyes moving around, constantly looking for flaws in her opponent's magic; Jola was on high alert, standing as steady as a rock, not daring to relax at all.
Knowing that the stone cage was the opponent's greatest reliance regardless of whether time was stopped or not, Dimalia immediately rushed forward with a dagger raised, as fast as lightning.
Inside the stone prison, Jura would naturally not let Timaria attack like this, and he quickly waved his fingers to block her way.
"Rock Iron Pillar!!"
A huge rock pillar rose abruptly in the path that Timalia was moving forward. If she didn't slow down or take a detour, she would definitely crash into it in the next second.
However, in just a blink of an eye, Timaria seemed to have teleported, or the space was displaced, and her figure moved several meters, leaving the stone pillar behind.
The audience didn't understand what was going on and cried out in surprise.
"Over it?!"
"How did she do that?!"
"So beautiful and cool, so handsome!!"
The official competition will not make public the magic used by the contestants, so unless a knowledgeable magician tells them, ordinary audiences have no idea what magic these magicians are using.
Of course, if they are people who know something about magic, or have done a thorough investigation of various magic guilds, such as organizations like Magic Weekly, although they are ordinary people, they know exactly who uses what magic. And after seeing so much, they naturally have a certain eye and imagination.
clang!!
The dagger hit the stone prison, making a crisp metallic collision sound, but the stone prison did not move at all. Instead, Timalia herself was shaken away by the reaction force.
After retreating, Dimalia's eyes showed a trace of surprise: "My dagger is made by special techniques, and it can easily cut through steel. It can really cut through iron like mud, but it can't cut through this stone prison?"
Although the stone prison in front of her was made of rock in essence, it had become harder than steel under the blessing of Jola's magic. It was natural that she couldn't cut it!
Looking at the impregnable stone prison in front of him, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Dimalia's eyes: "Humph! Since you don't want to confront me head-on, don't blame me for using magic!"
The next moment, Timaria gritted her teeth as usual, and invisible, formless, and colorless magic power burst out and instantly spread outwards in an imperceptible form!
Time is paused!
At that frozen moment, there were only a few spectators left in the venue who could continue to watch the next game.
To be precise, the only ones left are Kira, Zeref, Mavis, Auguste, and Ultear.
Kira's attainments in time magic are now no weaker than Timalia's. As long as he releases his magical perception, he can immediately detect who is in a state of time suspension and who is in an active state.
"There are two more people hiding in the dark?"
"One is Preshito, the other is..."
Sensing a familiar yet unfamiliar huge magical power, Kira immediately turned his head and an incredible figure immediately caught his eye.
"This is... Erin? Wendy??"
What Kira saw at this moment was the Wendy from the future of World No. 5 who had "kidnapped" Wendy last night and caused a riot in the guild!
"Is it another visitor from another world?"
Kira immediately confirmed the other party's identity because of her magic power which was identical to Wendy's. He also guessed that it was she who took Wendy away yesterday.
"Are all wizards so rude these days? They enter other people's houses without even saying hello, and even take other people's children out to play... Wendy has really been led astray by Natsu and the others!!"
"Speaking of this outfit...is it cosplay?"
Kira's clear eyes looked up and down at the large Wendy again, and then sighed softly: "She has grown taller, but not much bigger. Wendy should be disappointed, right? It's a pity for this dress! It can't be supported by a figure like Irene..."
Suddenly, a certain movie clip flashed through Kira's mind.
'How can you hold it?!'
'I can handle it.'
'You can't handle it!!!'
At this moment, Wendy No. 5, who was hiding in the crowd in the distance, seemed to have noticed something, turned her head and looked over. When she saw Kira's gaze, her body paused instantly.
Unexpectedly, after knowing that she was exposed, Wendy No. 5 did not show any embarrassment of being caught on her face. Instead, she waved and greeted Kira from a distance in a very relaxed manner.
Kira waved back, then turned his attention back to the duel in the arena—they were still in the game, not the time for them to communicate.
Time froze, and Timalia became the only person who could influence the outcome of the battle. She smiled slightly, put away the dagger, and then pointed a finger at Jola.
"Time Beam!!"
Whoosh—bang! !
As the only wizard who relied solely on magic to operate during the "Sealed Time", Urrutia was always watching the changes in the battle situation. In her eyes, Timaria's beam attack seemed to transcend time, and the speed was so fast that she could not react at all.
The time beam fell on the stone prison, and the powerful energy exploded directly, blowing up the cage that was harder than steel. Countless small stones flew out and scattered all over the ground.
The hurricane caused by the explosion brought scattered debris and hit Jola, leaving several small wounds.
Time resumes...
"Huh?? What happened?!"
"Jolasan's stone prison was broken? What just happened?"
"Here we go again... Is there something wrong with my eyes? Could it be that I saw too much of that thing last night..."
The audience exclaimed one after another as they looked at Jola, who was bleeding and in a mess after being hit by stones on the field.
Jola looked down at his appearance. Although he had many small wounds, they were all scratches. "It seems that I should thank you for showing mercy just now."
"This is a competition, not a battlefield."
A few months ago, when Zeref said he wanted to participate in the Grand Magic Fighting Games, Timaria was very surprised. She had a bellicosity and it was a rare opportunity for her to come across such an event, so of course she wanted to participate. "Don't kill anyone" was Zeref's requirement for them to participate in the competition, so it was not difficult for them.
Just reduce the intensity of the magic.
"What do you think? Do you have any other tricks?" With the mentality of playing cat and mouse, Timaria decided to give the bald guy in front of her another chance.
Too arrogant! Too arrogant!
Timaria's voice was not loud, but Jola felt insulted. He was so angry that he was about to use his ultimate move, but he soon calmed down.
Everyone can see that the opponent's magic is so buggy. Rather than waiting and getting abused after using all his strength, isn't it better to just give up now?
But soon, Jola gave up the idea.
In this great magic battle, Leon was eliminated from the very beginning. Although he was not as skilled as his opponent, since then, "Scale of the Snake Princess" and "Shield of the Emperor" have had a feud. Now Yuka and Toby have also withdrawn. He is the only wizard of "Scale of the Snake Princess" left in this competition!
If I also fall here, then 'Snake Princess Scale' will become the third guild to have all its members eliminated after 'Blue Pegasus' and 'Crow's Tail'!
Thinking of the expectations, trust and admiration of the president and his companions, Jola was instantly cheered up and filled with heroic spirit.
I, Jura, have no choice but to restore the glory of the Snake Princess' Scales! !
"certainly!!"
Bang!!
With a slight sound, he put his palms together in front of him: "Rock shattered..."
boom!!
Before the magic could be released, it was shattered by a powerful energy! !
Jola had expected this, but he did not give up and continued to attack, because this battle was related to the glory of "Snake Princess' Scale"!
Without any pause, he urged with his magic power again: "Rock Iron..."
boom!
"Yanshan..."
boom!!
"Overlord..."
boom!!!
…
After a few minutes, Jola was already panting and sweating. The continuous release of powerful moves had consumed a lot of his magic power, and he was already showing signs of fatigue.
The audience was moved by this emotion and looked at Jola nervously.
“No way…”
"You were interrupted before you even cast your magic?!"
"The opponent is so strong!!"
"Come on, Jura!!"
Amid the growing shouts, Jura used all his might to cast rock magic, but Timaria stood still and blew the rocks into pieces with just a wave of her hand.
"What is this uncle trying to do to make people emotional?"
Dimalia secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't realize that her attention was attracted by Jola's continuous casting of spells, and Jola was getting closer and closer to her.
"Rock Iron Heavy Fist!!"
boom!
Another huge rock explosion!!
"Let's end it! I'm tired of playing!!"
Just when Timalia finally lost the desire to play and was about to end the battle with one move, the air suddenly became quiet!
'Huh ? Why didn't the uncle shout anymore? ? '
It was clearly only a pause of less than three seconds, but because Jola had to shout loudly every time he used a move, and each time the shout was like a loud bell and never stopped, the sudden silence of three seconds now felt extremely long to Timalia.
At this time, because of the explosions caused by the continuous use of time beams in the previous few minutes, there was thick smoke and dust all around Timalia, completely obscuring her vision.
Just as I was wondering, my heart skipped a beat!
wrong!!
Something is happening!!
As soon as he reached this thought , he saw a huge hand in the peripheral vision beside him, piercing through the heavy smoke and dust with lightning speed and attacking his back!
Timalia's pupils trembled and she was terrified. She instinctively tried to dodge, but the more panicked she was, the easier it was to make mistakes. For a moment, her hands and feet were stiff and she even forgot to use the Time Seal, which she was best at.
BANG!!!
There was a muffled sound from the bones, and Timaria felt a pain in her shoulder. Then, an extremely powerful force spread from her shoulder upwards to her brain. She felt dizzy and fell forward uncontrollably.
The last thought before losing consciousness was just a few words.
"You actually stole..."
