Chapter 728: The Showdown Begins! A Civil War Between Four Fairy Tail S-Class Wizards!!
The next day, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
The sky after the heavy rain was much clearer than usual, with blue sky, white clouds, and the red sun shining brightly. There was a lot less dust in the air, and I felt a refreshed feeling in my chest when I breathed.
Thanks to the perfect drainage system, there was not much water accumulation at the Grand Demon Fighting Martial Arts Arena. The dry ground and bright sunshine made the audience feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process of entering the venue. They were more interested in yesterday's unfinished duel and today's unknown competition, and their steps became unconsciously lighter.
Before long, the venue was packed with people. The judges came together, and the magicians appeared one after another. After a bell rang, the commentator Chapati picked up the microphone and began hosting today.
"Oh hiyo, Mina-san!!"
"Is it my illusion? There seem to be more people coming to the venue today than yesterday~ It seems that everyone is really passionate about magic!!"
"It was a pity that we couldn't have the final battle between Team Kira and Team Laxus yesterday because of the heavy rain. I wonder if you guys are as unsatisfied as I am and tossing and turning after you go back?"
"Well, the first thing we have to do today is to make up for our regrets! Complete the last doubles match that was not completed yesterday, between Team Kira and Team Laxus, the final match of the best-of-seven match!!"
"This battle will determine the winner between Team Kira and Team Laxus. Who will be invited to dinner by the royal family tonight depends on this battle!"
"Yes, you heard it right. The dinner party that was not successfully held last night has been rescheduled to tonight, and the winner of this duel will be entertained! This really makes me, Chajiang, envious! !"
"Then let's bet on tonight's dinner and have a great showdown!!!"
"Please welcome the four wizards who will be fighting today—"
"Kira Hoplite! !"
"Kana Alupelona!!"
"Erza Shukaletto!!"
"Mirajane Strauss!!"
As the host called out their names, Kira and his three companions strode into the arena with their heads held high and in high spirits, amid the cheers and applause of tens of thousands of spectators.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are powerful and famous, and they are all from "Fairy Tail". The four of them became the most eye-catching scenery in the entire venue.
This match has become the most anticipated showdown in the past six days of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise!
"Ohhhh!!! I recognize them!! They are all wizards from Fairy Tail!!!"
"Mira-chan!! When are you going to take another photo shoot?!"
"Erza!! Please look at me more!"
"Ah~ Lord Kira is so handsome!!"
"Who is the other woman?"
"She is the wizard who fought against Jura-san together with 'Fire Dragon' Natsu a few days ago. I heard that she is also an S-class wizard of 'Fairy Tail'!"
"What?! Really?! Why haven't I heard of it before..."
"Wait! So they are all S-class wizards of Fairy Tail?"
“Hiss! The talents and strengths of these young people are so ?!!”
The discussion of the audience made the four people standing on the field at this time have different expressions. Mira waved and responded to everyone with a smile; Erza closed her eyes and crossed her arms, feeling proud; Kira looked calm, not caring about the cheers of the crowd, as if he had long been accustomed to it; Cana was unhappy, and only wanted to finish the game as soon as possible.
"What's wrong, Kana?"
Kira patted the depressed Kana and said, "Don't be unhappy. If you put on such a bad face in public, people will think you are petty or difficult to get along with!"
"What's wrong with me...you don't know about this?"
Cana snorted softly, stretched out her hand to lift the long hair that fell on her shoulders and threw it back, looking indignant, "How on earth do you three maintain such high popularity?"
Kira thought for a while, scratched his face awkwardly, and said: "This... may be a problem of appearance. I really can't teach you this..."
"You bastard, just go and die..."
"Hey! Calm down... Calm down!!"
As Kira and Cana were dodging and fighting, Erza called out to stop them: "Really? It's already this late, and you two are still fooling around here?"
“She seems very nervous, so let’s lighten the atmosphere…” Kira finally stopped, “Okay, Cana, stop playing! It’s about to start!!”
"This is a rare battle!!"
In the Fairy Tail camp, the eyes of the mages lit up as they watched the four S-rank companions about to fight in pairs. Some of them even started the companion duel, which has been an indispensable activity for more than a decade.
"Come on, come on... the market is open! Let's bet on who will win?"
"What are the odds?"
"The Kirakana combination is 1 to 0, 1, and the Ersamira combination is 1 to 0.3."
"What kind of rubbish are these odds... What's so fun about these odds?"
"It's up to you, you can play or not!"
"Tsk! Do you even need to think about this? I bet on Kira and Cana to win!"
"That's right... I'm betting on Kira too! The guild president will be replaced soon, and everyone will need money by then, so any money we can make now is good!"
"Is this...is this the world of adults..."
Amidst the noisy wizards, the harpy flapped its wings and flew up to the people who had set up the gambling game. Under everyone's shocked gaze, it took out the dried fish that it had treasured for a long time from the bag on its back.
There are 5 small dried fishes in total, each of which exudes a light golden luster, lingering fragrance, and is extremely delicious, making the cat salivate at the smell. He is truly wealthy and magnanimous.
"I'm betting my entire fortune on Kira to win!!"
Everyone was stunned by Harpy's action: "What?! He actually chose to go all in?? Harpy really deserves to be the most courageous cat in our guild!"
"Nonsense! The most powerful one is obviously me, Lord Rector! Don't you think so, Frosch?"
"Flo thinks so too~"
Happy sneered: "Haha."
Recter was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "What's your attitude, stupid blue cat!!"
"It's really pitiful that the cat doesn't even have dried fish..."
Meanwhile, Wakaba condemned his companions for their mindless support for Kira: "Look at what you are like now. We are all companions in the same guild. Are you worthy of Erza and Mira?"
"I don't believe that Kira can always win! Come on, bet a thousand J on me, and use my love for Mira-chan and Erza to give them some motivation!!"
Everyone was dumbfounded: "Huh?? Your love for them is only worth one thousand J?"
Wakaba smiled awkwardly: "Well... I can't help it. All my family's money is managed by that yellow-faced woman. I saved this with great difficulty..."
"Oh..." Everyone booed.
Wakaba blushed immediately: "I say, what's your attitude?! Considering how hard it was for me to save this money, its value could be more than ten thousand times higher, okay!!"
…
clang--!!
“The game begins!!!”
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Kira and the other three took action at the same time.
"Change your outfit: Heavenly Wheel Armor!"
"Receive Mirajane Maldor!"
Erza changed into the Skywheel series of equipment, with dozens of silver-white iron swords arranged in an orderly manner in the air behind her, just like rigorously trained soldiers; while Mira received the demon soul of 'Pluto' Maldor, and at the same time gained multiple spells such as 'Thorns', 'White Light', and 'Magic Absorption'.
The two seemed to have had a tacit understanding and bypassed Kira directly, attacking Cana from the left and right at the same time, causing everyone in Fairy Tail to exclaim in surprise.
"Look! They're attacking Cana directly!!"
"It seems that they plan to deal with the weaker Kana first, and then turn around and join forces to deal with Kira..."
"No wonder I saw Mira go to Erza's room at 12 o'clock last night. So they were planning a strategy? What a pity..."
"Why are you still seeing this kind of thing so late?! Asshole! And what the hell are you regretting?!"
"Well, their tactics are pretty good, but will it go so smoothly?"
"Are you kidding me?! How can Kana be defeated so easily?"
At this moment, Gildarts, who had been in stealth mode, suddenly stood up and supported his daughter: "She is very strong!!"
Erza and Mira's attacks were fierce, but Kira and Cana did not panic at all. Instead, they were calm and composed, as if they had expected it.
"Their attacks were exactly as I expected..."
Kira took a step forward and pointed his finger, "Well then, Cana! Let's surprise these two!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two uniquely shaped cards flew out from the left and right sides of Kira like lightning and attacked Erza and Mira head-on.
Kana stood behind Kira, and controlled the movement of the two cards with the powerful mental power honed by the "Warcraft Cards": "Just wait and see! Today I, Kana, will prove myself! Let you all see my true strength!!"
The two cards flew into the air, emitting two dazzling white magical lights.
"gravity!"
"reverse!"
The magic card was activated halfway through its flight. Erza and Mira were obviously surprised, but their good fighting qualities allowed them to keep attacking.
For people like them who have extremely rich combat experience, even if they are alert in their hearts, as long as there is no warning and they do not sense an attack, they do not need to stop their actions, because a real battle does not allow for any hesitation!
But they soon discovered something was wrong.
Erza only felt that she had flown into a gravity field. The extremely powerful gravity was like a huge monster pressing down on her. The movement that had originally flown in the air suddenly stopped, and then she fell down uncontrollably, hitting the ground with a bang, leaving a small shallow pit.
Mira's situation was slightly different. She did not feel the gravity attacking her, but found that the world in her eyes suddenly changed drastically, up and down, left and right, front and back were all reversed. Just as she was about to move, the changes around her became more drastic, and even her body and mind became out of sync. Her brain instantly became dizzy and crashed, and then she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Everyone in Fairy Tail was stunned. Even Gildarts, Makarov, Mavis and others stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief.
“Really?!”
“Huh?! Is this true?!!”
"Eluza and Mira were both... Is this really the Cana we know??!"
A question suddenly appeared in everyone's mind -
Is Kana really a genius? ?
