Chapter 122: A 7-on-7 game, 8-on-8 at the start, but ended up being a 4-on-12 battle
As soon as the attack horn sounded, Natsu was the first to rush out. He was most suitable for taking the lead.
Following behind him was Gray. The two of them were like two invincible beasts. They attacked the enemies in front of them without mercy, punching them one by one. No matter how many people there were, they could not stop them from moving forward.
“Get lost!!”
“Get out of the way!!”
The two vanguards were unstoppable and quickly broke through the blockade of ordinary guards and entered the tower. Kira and others followed behind to deal with the remaining fish that escaped and the soldiers who intended to get up again.
Of course, they only attack when necessary. After all, they are just ordinary people and cannot withstand blows.
"Jellal, come out!!!"
Natsu ran around aimlessly, shouting at the empty surroundings. Occasionally he met a few guards patrolling the tower, but he knocked them all down one by one.
It's very powerful, but the effect is not great.
Of course, Gerard, who controls the entire tower, had already discovered this situation.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Paradise Tower, he was wearing a black coat, sitting leisurely in his own chair and laughing loudly: "Ahahaha!"
"Lord Gerard?" The speaker was a hook-nosed male blade with black hair that was long enough to cover the ground.
"Haha, as expected, Erza is such a good woman. This is so fun. Who will win in the end, me or Erza? It's really exciting."
"Life and death... as well as the past and the future, are all intertwined in this paradise's game !"
The hook-nosed man looked at Jellal in confusion. "Sir Jellal, what exactly are you planning? Are you just going to leave the invaders alone?"
"I've said it before, this is a game. I just want those guys to work hard and successfully upgrade to come to me. It's becoming more and more interesting, hahahaha..."
"But if the ceremony is not held soon, it will be discovered by the councilors sooner or later."
"Udarus, are you still worried about this kind of thing?" Gerard said, "I won't let anyone stop me!"
Hearing Jellal's confident words, the hook-nosed man raised another concern: "The people from Fairy Tail are really not simple. If we let them make such a fuss, they will probably come up soon."
Gerard said: "This is how the game is meant to be interesting. Nothing is more boring than a one-sided game."
"Master Jellal, you should capture Erza and perform the ceremony as soon as possible. Now is not the time to take your time."
"Then go ahead, Udalus."
"I see."
Udalus crossed his hands in front of him. After a puff of smoke, he seemed like a different person. His temperament changed drastically. Not only did he put on heavy makeup and changed his clothes, he also had a guitar in his hands. At the same time, there were two other people beside him.
The Assassination Guild is a magic guild that specializes in carrying out assassination missions, and the Skull and Bones Society is one of them. In the Skull and Bones Society, the strongest team is called the Three Crows.
During the Caprian War, the Three Crows were used to assassinate all the Western officers, hence the name.
There are three members of the Three Crows, namely Udarus Eagle, a guitarist with heavy makeup and long smooth black hair; Owl, a burly man who looks like an owl and carries two bazookas on his back; and their captain, Turtledove, a female swordsman with long cherry-colored hair and wearing a kimono.
The departure of the three crows heralds the beginning of the game.
Gerard walked down from the throne. In the empty room, a chessboard with black and white squares was placed on a stone table. Cartoon-shaped chess pieces stood on it. He himself seemed like the mastermind who used people as chess pieces and played chess for fun.
After a while, the walls of the entire Paradise Tower were densely covered with mouths.
"Everyone, welcome!"
Hearing this voice, the people who were running around in the tower stopped.
"I'm Jellal, the ruler of this tower. Both sides have their pieces ready, so we're almost ready to begin."
Hearing the sounds coming out of these mouths, Natsu was a little confused: "Is this a game?"
"The rules are simple. I will use Erza as a living sacrifice to perform Zeref's resurrection ceremony. In other words, if the gate to paradise opens, I win. If you can prevent this from happening, you win."
"But... that alone wouldn't be fun at all. I have three extra fighters here, and you have to break through them to get to where I am."
"In other words, this is a 7-on-7 battle!"
Kira counted the people on both sides, his side included: himself, Disper, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Juvia, Erza, and Happy;
Jellal's side includes: Jellal, Udarus, Owl, Turtledove, Card Man, Catwoman, Cube Man, and Simon.
"Isn't this 8 vs 8..."
Even if the harpy is not considered a fighting force, there are still four people on the opposite side who may rebel at any time. Is this guy serious?
Among the people on the opposite side, except Jellal, only Ikaruga is relatively strong. But in terms of swordsmanship, she is not as good as Erza, not to mention there is also Disper on this side. At worst, let Juvia come on the field and stand there and let her chop for a long time without any problem.
Kira totally couldn't understand. Had Jellal been staying at home for too long and couldn't even compare the strength of both sides? How could the opponent beat him with this lineup?
"Finally, I will explain a special rule to you. The Council may use a satellite magic array to attack here. That is the ultimate destructive magic that can destroy everything, the magic elf power!"
"I don't know how much time is left, but when the magic spirit force strikes, everyone here will die. There will be no winner, which means the game is over."
"Okay, enjoy the game!!"
After Jellal's declaration of war, everyone who heard the news was surprised, especially the four people in the Tower of Paradise. They all helped Jellal for freedom, but they didn't expect that in the end he would completely disregard their lives.
The one who was most worried was Erza. She was worried about her former companions and was also panicked about Jellal's intentions.
The ones who were least panicked should be Kira and Disper. They both knew Jellal's plan, so they were not worried about the impact of the magic spirit power at all.
"How could it be... What on earth is Jellal thinking ..." Lucy trembled as she heard that the magic spirit power might attack her. "How could he still talk about playing games when he might even die..."
Not only Lucy, but also Gray and Juvia were a little worried. The only one who didn't react was the thick-skinned and fearless Natsu. However, that was because he didn't even know what magical spirit power was.
"Don't worry! It'll be fine!"
Kira then explained to everyone the story that had to be told between the Tower of Paradise and the Magical Spiritual Power, "This is it, the Tower of Paradise is a crystal tower that stores magic power, and it's no different from my magic crystal."
"Even though you said that, I still feel a little uneasy..."
Kira smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter. By that time, the battle will be over."
At this moment, there was a commotion coming from the front, and then, Erza was seen fighting with the guards.
"Erza!" Natsu yelled and waved.
At the same time, Erza also discovered them: "Why... are you here?"
Natsu said angrily: "We are here to save you...I will not spare that guy named Jellal!"
"Go back!" Erza's eyes were a little evasive, "This is not the place for you to come."
