Chapter 145: Grand Canyon Operation
The competition venue was still the same, but the terrain was different. Under the shocked gaze of thousands of people, a huge canyon slowly rose up. This would be the venue for the preliminary round. The contestants could not leave the canyon to fight. As long as they broke the crystal in the target team's tower, they would win.
The canyon's terrain is in the shape of a hexagram, with mountains at its back and several roads and paths crisscrossing each other. It is conceivable that several fierce magic battles will break out there.
"It sounds interesting!" Several people with a strong competitive spirit were eager to fight.
After Disper finally finished his speech, the teleportation magic circle emitted a bright light, bringing thirty contestants into the battlefield.
An image appeared on the big screen. On the large map, the topography of the canyon and the positions of 30 wizards from six teams were drawn. If Kira was outside, he would definitely exclaim, "Isn't this just watching a live game?"
The Canyon is an arena consisting of six territories, some stone walls and grass.
The territories of the six teams are located in the six corners of the Hexagram Canyon, just like checkers. In clockwise order, they are white, red, yellow, black, blue and green. Each territory has three roads. The main road in the middle leads directly to the territory of the target team, and the two small roads on the left and right lead to the territories of the other two teams that are not adjacent to it. In other words, there are a total of nine roads in the canyon.
At the intersection of three roads, which is the center of the canyon, there is a large open space, which is obviously set up for the contestants to fight.
Kira opened his eyes and found himself in the White Team's territory, with the Crystal Tower behind him and his teammates beside him.
"What a new and interesting game, isn't it, honey?"
Bigusro stuck out his long tongue to communicate with his puppet toy. Several puppets also floated in the air, chirping back, but only he could understand what they said.
Kira said to Bigusro, Bisca, Marcus, and Nob, "Listen, even though I'm here, our opponents are not weak either. We can't take it lightly !"
"Uh-huh……"
Among the four, except Bigusro, the other three nodded seriously. They knew their own strengths and weaknesses and had no confidence that they could beat any one of Natsu, Gajeel or Juvia.
Kira used magic to connect himself with the thoughts of the other four people: "Telepathic connection."
Feeling the [Group Chat] in their minds, several people exclaimed in surprise: "Is it the same telepathic magic as Volian?"
"That's right, it's telepathic magic. Even though this magic has little attack power, it is very important in this game. You must keep in touch with me!"
The four of them nodded again: "I understand!"
"There are three roads leading to our crystal tower. Next, we will act according to the plan we just discussed," Kira said to the four people. "Bigusro has the strongest combat power. He will stay here and protect the crystal while being ready to provide support at any time. Marcus will stay on the left, Bisca will stay on the right, and Nob will stay in the middle. If there is any situation, immediately notify us in the chat channel."
Finally, Kira pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "As for the attack, leave it to me alone!"
"Are you planning to hold off the five opponents by yourself? You are indeed worthy of me!" Bigusro said, "But why should we defend the other two roads? We are not their target, so there is no point in fighting, right?"
The other three also looked at Kira in confusion.
Kira: “…”
No, are you four really members of our guild? In this case, isn't it normal to treat everyone except your own team as an opponent and destroy the other five crystals?
Sighing, Kira replied in a heavy tone: "Even though the other teams don't win if they break our crystal, we will still lose! Who knows, there may be some people who have nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's business... Bigusro, you don't have to look at me. Yes, you are right. I am talking about Laxus!"
Bigusro: "..."
We have to defend it, because there is a road from the White Team's territory that leads directly to the Yellow Team's territory! And we can't let Bigusro guard this road...
"The guys on the black team are all brainless and reckless. Although I am confident that I can outwit them with a little bit of brainpower, accidents can happen at any time. We must win as quickly as possible!"
The four of them looked at each other and said, "Leave it to us!"
After the instructions were given, the members of the white team immediately set off and guarded the roads they were responsible for according to the plan. Kira rushed directly to the middle road, ready to push forward 1V5.
The canyon was empty, but for Kira, the speed of flying and running was no different. He cast a simple [Haste] spell and ran faster than a harpy sprinting at full speed. Soon, he reached the center of the canyon. Although it took some time, Kira was still the first to arrive at the center with his speed. There was no one on the other roads.
"Hehehe, since I got here first, don't blame me for doing anything bad..."
Kira opened his hands and used magic: "Space Fold!"
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding
The magic was divided into six parts and landed on six channels. The air suddenly fluctuated and then calmed down after 3 seconds.
“Hahaha… now everyone will have fun!” After saying that, Kira ran towards the black team’s crystal tower without looking back.
Half a minute after Kira left, Felide and Jet appeared in the green team's passage.
"It seems we are the first to arrive. Um...you go first. I will set up a magic trap now!"
It seems that Felide also knows that his strengths lie in delaying time and defense, so he gave the responsibility of attack to others. It may also be because he does not want to face Laxus.
Jet nodded and headed towards his destination - the crystal tower of the yellow team. However, he didn't know that the people waiting in front of him were actually the red team.
What Kira did was simple. He just changed the roads leading to the six crystal towers.
The road that was supposed to lead to the Yellow Team’s territory has now become the road that leads to the Red Team’s territory; the road that was supposed to lead to the White Team’s territory has now become the road that leads to the Blue Team’s territory…
The other roads are similar. In short, among all the passages, only the road leading to the white team will not be entered by anyone - unless someone wants to go through the middle road to attack the black team's crystal.
When they meet an enemy that does not belong to them, their first reaction will definitely be that the other party has nothing to do and comes to steal their home, because this is in line with the usual style of the Fairy Tail Guild. At that time, even if the two teams do not fight, they will not give up easily.
Even if a few of them realized that they were being tricked, they could only choose to take a detour from the other two sides, or try one by one at the central fork. By that time, Kira would have already taken the black team's crystal.
Although it took Kira less than 10 seconds from the time he came up with the plan to the time it was implemented, he was very satisfied with it.
"Only someone as smart as me can get these warmongers and those who normally refuse to fight to have a good fight, right?" Kira admired himself more and more as he thought about it, "I am so kind!"
Not long after passing the center, Kira saw the members of the Black Team. All five of them were there. It seemed that they were adopting the strategy of sending all members out and leaving no one behind to guard the house.
What should I do? Should I fight or not?
If I fight, I will be exposing myself. Will they come back to defend when I attack the crystal? If I don't fight, it will be a pity, as I will miss a chance to fight.
Kira hesitated for 3 seconds and decisively chose to attack.
Who am I? Kira!
Who in the entire guild am I afraid of? No one!
Are these five members of Team Black stronger than Laxus and Erza? You must be kidding!
So what to do when you encounter this? Fight!
Kira used word magic directly: "Rock Prison Cart!"
