Chapter 735: Wild Sand and Thunder
"The game is over! Kira wins!!"
What?! Is this the end?
Although I had guessed the result a long time ago, it was too fast, wasn’t it?! We just decided on the top four! It took less than two minutes!!
The audience looked towards the arena and saw Pakas lying in a mess at Kira's feet. The wine gourd that he always wore around his waist lay quietly beside his head. The wet wine slowly flowed out of the gourd and wet his clothes.
At this moment, Pacas had lost all his wildness, and the hound had become a thin dog, with no trace of the ace of the "Four Hounds" at all.
"Kirasang ended the battle quickly and became one of the top four in this Great Demon Fighting Games!"
"And Pacasang was eliminated. The Four Hounds stopped here. It's a pity!"
With no trace of regret on her face, commentator Chapati expressed a humanitarian "sadness" to the 'Four Hounds', then quickly restrained her expression and continued to announce the next group's name list.
"Group two, three-person melee!"
"The contestants are: Jura Regis from 'Snake Princess' Scales', Richard from 'Witch's Sin', and Cana Alperona from 'Fairy Tail'!!"
This is another game without any suspense!
When the battle started, Richard and Kana directly joined forces to fight against Jola. Soft earth magic was indeed incompatible with rock magic, but the difference in power between the two sides allowed Jola to quickly gain the upper hand. As for Kana, the magic power consumed in the previous battle had not yet recovered, and she was not in good shape at all at the moment, so she was easily defeated by Jola.
The match lasted only fifteen minutes, and in the end Jura won by defeating two opponents alone, and the reputation of "Snake Princess' Scale" became famous again.
In the third group of battles, the people who took part were: Laxus, Agil, and Bligh.
"A three-way fight? How interesting! This is the first time I've encountered a game like this..." Ajir was in high spirits and walked towards the arena with a reckless pace.
He said it was fun, but he completely ignored Braiya and instead focused all his attention on Laxus, who also ignored Braiya and turned his attention to his rival, Ajir.
The look between the two made many people in the audience imagine a lot.
"What an eager gaze! As expected... 'People with weak magic power will be attracted to those with strong magic power', is this also true in this world?"
Kira exclaimed, then thought of something, turned around, and saw Felide with a gloomy face.
"We are both strong men, but our physiques are different and Laxus and I attract different groups of people!"
I am a handsome man with a beautiful face, a slender figure and elegant manners, which makes me more attractive to girls; while Laxus is a muscular man with a strong face, a strong physique and plump muscles, which makes him more attractive to men.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing the other party staring at him eagerly, Laxus felt annoyed for no reason and asked with a frown.
"I'm just observing my opponent..."
Laxus looked at him with disdain, not taking Ajir seriously at all: "So... after observing, do you want to surrender?"
"Hehehe... Although you are very strong, you may not be able to beat me in a real fight!" Ajir raised his head and chest proudly, speaking provocatively with fighting spirit in his eyes.
So Laxus stopped talking. He was too lazy to waste words with someone who couldn't even see the strength of both sides. The best way to deal with this kind of pretender with no strength is to knock him down with one punch.
Not long after, the battle gong sounded.
Ajir couldn't wait to launch an attack, but before he could cast any magic, he saw a golden lightning rushing past him, so fast that he had no time to react.
"What?! So fast?!"
Ajir's eyes were filled with horror, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The fist wrapped in thick thunder was so powerful and so fast that he flew backwards before he could react.
He also watched Laxus's battle a few days ago. In his opinion, the battle with the Eighteen Fighting Gods of the Evil Demon, who was 'deified', was nothing special.
Agil already had a rough prediction of Laxus' strength in his mind, but the speed Laxus showed now was completely incomparable to the strength he showed in .
"This guy...is completely different from before!"
"Is he deliberately hiding his weakness? No, it should be that his previous opponents were unable to force out his true strength! Right!"
"This is really... it makes my blood boil!!"
After flipping in the air and standing steadily, Agil's eyes had become solemn, with cold sweat on his forehead and the smile on his face froze. Looking at Laxus who was calm and composed not far away, his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
"This guy is really strong! This kind of strength is more than enough to make a shield! This is strange, was he such a strong wizard before? This is different from what Serena said!"
A few months before participating in the Great Magic Tournament, when the Twelve Shields were summoned by Zeref, Serena was also present. Although she announced her withdrawal from the Twelve Shields afterwards, she lived with them during that period.
So Agil also learned from Serena that he was training a second-generation dragon slayer named Laxus, who was the second of the younger generation in "Fairy Tail", but his strength was far from reaching the shield level.
"It's only been a few months, right? How is it possible that he has improved to this level in such a short time? Did Serena lie to me? Or is he really that good at teaching? Or... is this guy in front of me just gifted?!"
I can’t figure it out…just don’t think about it!
The stronger the opponent, the more excited Ajir becomes. He is not the kind of person who likes to think . Instead of using his brain, he prefers to communicate with fists and magic.
Magic power leaked out and quicksand entangled itself. Under Ajir's control, the ground of the entire arena quickly turned into sand and became dry, hard, fine gravel, which swept up.
On the other side, Laxus was no less impressive, with lightning and thunder on his body becoming even more intense, and the dazzling golden light made him exude the demeanor of a 'super XX man'.
"What...what is this?" Braiya exclaimed in horror. Neither Laxus' lightning nor Agil's sand was something she could easily resist.
"No! I can't beat him! I absolutely can't beat him!! I have to run away!!"
Having made up her mind to avoid the fight, Breya turned around and ran to the edge of the arena, but the quicksand under her feet surged wildly, instantly raising a huge wave of sand that blocked out the sky and covered most of the arena! !
This made Breya stunned.
What you see and feel when standing in the audience seats or in the guild camp is completely different from what you see and feel when you are in the arena!
That extremely powerful magic, the magic that seemed to be able to devour lives at any time, would make people like her who were not strong enough completely lose the will to resist and could not even move their legs to escape.
"What a terrifying magic power this is..."
As soon as the exclamation died down, a gust of sand rushed down from the sky, and Breya was completely swallowed by the sand waves.
This did not attract the attention of Laxus or Agil. The two were still confronting each other. Knowing that his opponent was very powerful, Agil did not dare to be careless.
"Sand Cavalry!!"
"Sword of Sand!!"
"Sand Shield!!"
Under Ajir's control, the huge sand condensed into a desert giant several meters high under his feet. Holding a sword and a round shield, he fought like a knight, majestic and awe-inspiring, like an imperial general whose soul was placed in the sand after his death.
"Come on! Let's give it a try..."
boom!!!
The sentence came to an abrupt end before it was finished. A thick golden lightning pillar dropped from the sky. The riotous energy first landed on Ajir, then flowed down and pierced the desert giant from head to toe. His huge body, sharp sword, and hard shield were all defeated by the thunder in an instant.
“Ahem—!”
With a loud roar, the desert giant under Ajir's feet collapsed, and he coughed up blood and flew backwards, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
Laxus' eyes were cold and arrogant, his right hand still in the posture of attracting lightning, lightning entangled in his hand, crackling, and the long black cloak swayed wildly in the wind, but it was tightly wrapped around his shoulders, with no intention of falling down at all.
Then, he said something very impressive: "You just said, let's try...what was it?"
"The battle is over!! The winner is... Laxus Dorea!!"
Amid the audience's heart-wrenching cheers, Laxus didn't even look at Agil. He just threw his cloak around and walked off the arena.
Laxus's battle once again aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, but soon everyone focused their attention on the last battle.
Laquette, Natsu, and Urrutia, the last of the top four wizards will be chosen from these three.
Unlike the previous battles, almost no one could predict the final outcome of this duel, because both Natsu and Urrutia had performed very well before, and both showed the ability to compete with Jura.
The most mysterious Lacade has not yet shown his strength to the public. He can be said to be a unique existence in this great magic battle.
However, even though Lacade's strength is unknown, his handsome face, gentle smile, and saintly posture have already made him attractive to many girls and ladies.
What everyone is most curious about about Laquette is not his strength, but his identity and origin, and why he has the same last name as Natsu - Dragneel.
"Who the hell is this guy...and why does he smell so much like me?"
It wasn't just the unrelated spectators who were curious, but also the wizards of the various guilds, the people of Fairy Tail, and Natsu himself.
