Chapter 722: Single player combat and single player combat are different!
"The game is over!!"
"The winner is Team Laxus, Jura Regis of 'Snake Princess Scale'!!"
The whole audience was instantly excited.
"Ohhh! That's amazing!!! As expected of Jura-san!!"
"No way?! Is this true?!"
"You can win with this??!"
The unexpected result made Laxus silent and Kira cry. Both of them were dumbfounded.
"Tell me, how much did you spend to get her to play a fake match?"
Under Laxus's gaze, Kira's eyes formed two helpless and desolate tears. He looked up to the sky and lamented: "I have known since I was a child that the outcome of a game may not necessarily be determined by the game itself, but may also be determined outside the game. I didn't expect that after so many years of precautions, I would still be fooled today."
Laxus was silent for two seconds, then said calmly, "Well... I didn't spend a penny."
"hateful!!"
Kira smashed the stone pillar with a 20-year-old fist.
On the other side, the 'Emperor's Shield' camp.
Jellal found the changes in the battle very novel and interesting. With a faint smile, he said to the people behind him: "What an interesting development..."
Auguste: “…”
Father, are you serious about what you said?
After all, Dimalia is our companion. Now she has lost the duel in such a shameful way. She will definitely be laughed at by others!!
After thinking about it, August decided to explain for Dimalia: "Dimalia underestimated the enemy this time and was too eager to play!"
"No need to defend her, Auguste!"
Jellal smiled gently, but he looked a little sinister. "I don't blame her. After all, Dimalia's temper has been getting worse over the years. It would be good for her to remember this lesson."
Then he glanced at the people behind him who were trying to hold back their laughter and said, "Laugh if you want to."
Auguste shook his head. It was okay for others to laugh, but how could we laugh at a time like this?
"We will not..."
"Oh hehe... Dimaria is so stupid yet cute~" Brandish's voice came from behind.
“…”
No need for others, our own family is laughing at her!!
Auguste turned his head slightly to look at Brandish, and said in a deep voice: "Brandish, don't laugh at your companions!"
Unless you can't help it.
"Oh, I understand, old man." Brandish smiled obediently and continued to eat ice cream.
I'll laugh again when she comes back.
After the battle, Jura returned to the waiting area of the competition with one part of confusion, two parts of disbelief, and seven parts of melancholy. As soon as he arrived, he saw Kira walking towards him.
"Jiula-san, I can't believe that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't have any moral ethics and are trying to launch a sneak attack?"
"Well, well... I am forced by the situation and I am helpless..."
In response to Kira's teasing, Jola just smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch the big bald head.
If possible, he didn't want to do that. After all, anyone with insight could see that Timalia was letting the opponent win the whole time, but he didn't hold back and even used conspiracy and tricks. This was somewhat inappropriate.
But there was no other way, the opponent was too strong, and I could only resort to this last resort.
Besides, sneak attack? Can a wizard's work be considered a sneak attack? This is called battle wisdom!
Even if this duel might affect my reputation and I might be called a talent without moral integrity, that was a trick I learned from a lady named Urrutia a few days ago... No! I should say that it was also for the sake of my guild mates, a last resort, because I am the wizard of 'Snake Princess Scale'!
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after thinking this, the depressed emotions in Jola’s chest were immediately relieved, and his mood instantly improved a lot. Then he straightened his back and strode towards the rest area with his head held high.
"He seemed to have figured something out just now?"
"Who knows..."
Kira and Laxus looked at each other briefly, then turned their attention back to the crystal screen in the arena, which displayed the names of the four wizards in the next double battle.
Up to now, both teams have two wins and two losses respectively. There are still two doubles matches and one singles match to go, and the outcome is still unknown.
"Here is the list for the third doubles match!!"
"Ooooh?!! That name?!"
Chapati, who was hosting the competition, looked at the list in her hand and exclaimed in surprise, "It's really unexpected!! I believe that when everyone sees the names later, they will be as shocked as I am!!"
"Well then, let's welcome the members of Team Killer, Natsu Dragonil! Laquette Dragonil!!"
"And the members of Team Laxus, Inbel! Sawyer!!"
Thump thump thump…
The names of the four people suddenly appeared on the crystal screen.
For a moment, except for a few people who knew the situation, all the audience in the venue, wizards from various guilds, and even members of Fairy Tail and Emperor's Shield were all shocked.
"Nani?! Dragneel??"
"Same last name as Natsu?! Are they a family?!"
"How is that possible?! Wasn't Natsu raised by a dragon? Could that guy be raised by a dragon too?"
"Idiot! The dragon that raised Natsu is called Igneel, and Dragneel is Natsu's last name!"
"How could that be..."
"Huh?! Wait! He smells like Natsu-san!!"
"What did you say?! Could he be Natsu's long lost brother?! But his face and temperament don't look like him at all!"
As one of the few people who knew the relationship between Laquette and Zeref, as well as the relationship between Zeref and Natsu, the moment Auguste saw Laquette's full name, he immediately turned his gaze to Zeref in front of him.
“Father…”
August, who didn't like Lacade in the first place, was even more upset at this moment: I haven't even revealed my full name to the public yet, and this adopted kid actually dared to take it first?! I can't swallow this anger!!
"It should be Kira who did it, right? It doesn't matter. Racked is my son now anyway."
Jellal smiled again, but this time he smiled with a frown, the legendary bitter smile, with a hint of doting between his brows, "As a brother, you should be more generous and give in to him..."
"What?! You want me to give in to him?! This bastard..."
Augustus tightened his grip on the magic wand and his fist suddenly hardened. He didn't let go until he turned around and saw his mother Mavis looking at him in the distance.
"Forget it, since even my mother has asked me to do so, I will just hold it back for now. That guy will get a good deal!"
At this moment, Zeref's voice came from the front again: "I just don't know how Natsu will react after knowing his identity?"
August narrowed his eyes and looked at Natsu who stepped into the arena: "He should be surprised..."
In the arena...
Natsu stared blankly at the crystal screen in the distance, at the person with the same surname as his own. Then he looked at the guy next to him, who was carrying a cross, with his palms clasped in front of his chest, with a pious and peaceful expression, his whole body emitting white holy light, and whose smell was very similar to his own. His eyebrows frowned instantly.
"Why is your last name Dragneel too?"
"Why do you taste so much like me??"
Laquette did not answer the two questions directly, but continued to walk forward: "After the battle is over, someone will tell you."
Just kidding, if I explain my identity, I have to mention my father, and without my father's permission, I will not easily expose my father's name to the public.
Although Laquette didn't know how Killer knew his last name, making his full name public was equivalent to announcing to the entire Kingdom of Fiore that he was Natsu's family.
This means that I am my father’s (Jeref) son!
So Lacade was in a very good mood, and even his usually steady steps became a little lighter.
Competition waiting area.
Laxus stared at Kira with unfriendly eyes: "Didn't you say that you promised Natsu that he would fight alone?"
"Yeah, but I didn't say to let him go out and fight alone!"
Kira tilted his head slightly and looked at Laxus in pretend confusion, "Fighting alone and fighting alone are different, right? As long as Lakaed doesn't take action in this battle, and Natsu fights one against two, then isn't that fighting alone?"
"It's understandable that, compared to winning the game one-on-one, a person with Natsu's personality would be more inclined to choose to win after fighting one against two, right?"
"Are you saying that guy won't do anything? Humph! What an idiot..."
Her arrogant and face-conscious personality remains the same as always.
Laxus snorted coldly and fixed his eyes on Lacade. He felt a powerful magic power from the other party that was no weaker than his own.
"Who is that guy? He should also be a member of the Twelve Shields, right?"
"Natsu's great nephew!"
"Hmm? What do you mean??"
Nephew? Natsu has a brother? Wasn't he raised by a dragon? Where did the nephew come from?
A trace of doubt flashed in Laxus' eyes, and he knew there was something fishy going on. However, Kira didn't want to explain it to him at this time. He just said calmly: "I'll explain it to you when we get back to the guild. I don't want to explain it so many times!"
In the arena, when Inbel saw Laquette and Natsu, he fell silent.
One is your Majesty's son, and the other is your Majesty's younger brother.
Can I still win this game?
