Chapter 147: Kira vs. the Twin Dragons (1)
Teammates were defeated one after another. Gajeel realized something was wrong and shouted to Juvia, "Leave this to us. You go first!"
Juvia hesitated. After living in Fairy Tail for a while, she was no longer the kind of person who would abandon her companions and go away alone! But... now it's just a competition. Fighting is not the goal. Breaking the enemy's crystal is the key.
So she decisively chose to move forward: "I know!"
They can't win by fighting. Even if she is included in the fight, the three of them can't beat Kira. They can only take advantage of the time when Natsu and Gajeel are delaying Kira to try to reach the White Team's crystal tower first and smash their crystal.
Kira did not stop her and let her leave. After all, not only had he changed the route at the fork in the road, but Bigusro was still in the Crystal Tower.
"Come on! Natsu, Gajeel!"
As soon as the words fell, the two dragons rushed forward in unison, attacking Kira, and the second round of battle began!
Natsu's elbows were covered with flames, which significantly increased the speed of his punches and the strength of his hands. He used hooks, elbow strikes, tooth-breaking, and other moves in turn, each punch heavier than the last, and the flames that came with them burned everything, drawing thick tongues of fire in the air.
Half of Gajeel's body turned into black iron, and his attack and defense were much stronger than usual. He could feel that during his time in Fairy Tail, his strength had been significantly enhanced. He could wield sword, stick, whip, and gun, and his body turned into various forms of cold weapons, making him as prickly as a hedgehog in battle.
Kira still chose to avoid the attack first. His dodging skills were maxed out. Even if the attacks of the two were increased, he could still deal with it as easily as a butterfly flying through flowers.
Bang bang bang... pa pa pa... puff puff puff... bang bang bang...
The Sage VS the Two Dragons, this scene was presented on the big screen of the competition field through the transfer of the magic crystal, making the audience excited.
The Kingdom of Fiore is a magical kingdom. For the people of this country, magic is a part of life. Although not everyone can learn magic, they all have a heart that yearns for magic.
Because to them, these famous wizards are big stars, and the battles between wizards are as exciting as fights between stars. Who can resist such temptation?
There were thousands of spectators present, and although many of them had hired wizards to do missions before, missions like "repelling thieves" and "hunting monsters" were actually only a minority, so they rarely saw wizards fighting in person - and that kind of battle was not something that clients like them, who were powerless, could participate in.
Most of the tasks posted by ordinary people are more daily tasks, such as being a tavern waiter, performing in a theater troupe, finding things, or teaching magic to children, which are less dangerous tasks.
In this kind of mission, even when showing them magic, the wizards will try their best to control their power and not let them see magic that is too destructive.
At this moment, all the spectators turned their attention to this first battle in the entire canyon. After all, the other wizards were either guarding points or ambushing, or were still on their way.
Bang!
The fire fist and the iron fist were swung at the same time, but Kira blocked them with both hands and used the force to retreat. Magic power surged in his hands, and the two magics of "Frost" and "Water Vortex" were attached to them.
It can extinguish flames and dissolve physical attacks. Although Kira does not have magic power of a cold nature, he is no less powerful when using this magic.
Gajeel did not retreat because the enemy was too strong. Instead, he was grateful for such a change. He faced the challenge head-on, shouted loudly, and iron scales instantly covered his body. He rushed forward in three or two steps, clenched his claws with both hands, just like the claws of a real iron dragon, with extraordinary momentum, swiftness and unstoppable.
Unfortunately, his target was Kira, who simply jumped slightly to the right and perfectly avoided the attack.
Before Gajeel's two iron claws fell, several sharp wind blades swooped down, cutting several long scratches on the ground.
It can be imagined that if Kira failed to dodge in time, or just barely avoided them, these invisible wind blades would leave blood marks on his body, or at least tear his clothes, which would be a huge loss of face.
"Humph, your intentions are sinister!"
After cursing, Kira decided to use one tenth of his strength to give him a good beating, but before he could think about it, Natsu's attack arrived, and he could only fight back first.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!!"
"Water Array Wall!"
"Water cannon!"
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
The flames kept evaporating the water, and the water kept extinguishing the flames. It seemed that they were evenly matched, but in fact, there was a huge difference in magic power consumption, and Natsu had fallen into a disadvantage.
At this moment, Natsu seemed to have no concept of "saving magic power in battle". He only knew to face every enemy with all his strength. This form of fighting was not conducive to a protracted war. For example, now, he was already out of breath and sweat was dripping down his head.
"Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
"Water Dragon Bomb!"
The two dragons of water and fire entwined, offset each other, and evaporated in the air, and the water vapor enveloped the three people's vision.
Suddenly, in the hazy steam, the Iron Man attacked.
When Gajeel failed in his first attack, he attacked again. This time, he pounced forward, his hands turned into swords, and two pitch-black swords danced wildly in the air. In the dragon scale state, it was as if they had added cutting properties, and they were sharp and swift.
Kira could see that Gajeel had never learned swordsmanship. Even though he was using his hands as a sword, he only relied on brute force to attack. Not to mention Erza, even Turtledove of the Three Crows was far better than him in swordsmanship.
The sword tip was about to arrive, but Kira was not in a hurry and gathered his energy into a blade: "Wind Blade !"
The invisible wind formed an invisible blade, launching an invisible attack in the air, blocking Gajeel's iron sword that had not yet been slashed, making a harsh friction sound.
Ding——sizzle——
The strong wind blowing in his face made Gajeel squint his eyes slightly.
The wind blade has no specific properties, it can be long or short, straight or curved, thick or thin; the specific number is unknown, there may be 3 attacks in the last round, and there may be 5 or 7 attacks next time; the attacks are unpredictable, and it is impossible to predict the direction of the attacks, nor to grasp the rules of change; Kira does not need to hold it in his own hands, but can control it freely with his mind, and he can continuously attack Gajeel.
The flowing wind blade slashed Gajeel, and at the same time cut through the surrounding water vapor. When his vision returned, the first thing that caught Kira's eyes was Natsu's fist.
Hooks, punches, kicks, elbows, knees, head butts... before the punch is out, the kick comes again. Natsu uses every part of his body that can be used as a weapon to attack Kira. He uses his hands and feet at the same time, coordinating his body, and his aggression is like fire!
On the other hand, Kira was blocking Natsu's fierce attacks, catching his fists, dodging his hooks, and pressing his knees. Unknowingly, he had put on a set of bright ice armor.
The ice armor with freezing properties wrapped Kira from head to toe, leaving only an almost transparent ice cover over his eyes.
This armor is not a magic item, but was temporarily created by Kira. The inspiration naturally comes from General Winter in the Twelve Shields. His magic has the property of freezing, and it can even freeze the ice created by Gray, let alone Natsu who has not yet fully evolved?
"Fire dragon's wing attack... iron fist... hook claw... sword horn... brilliant flame..." Natsu kept launching attacks, but no matter how high the temperature was, it couldn't burn Kira at all. Not long after, he finally realized that Kira had been defending, "Why don't you fight back?"
Kira did not take the initiative to attack, of course, in order to take the opportunity to hone his physical skills.
Although he kept saying that he was giving Natsu and the others devilish training, he knew in his heart that he was the one who really needed the training.
In terms of skills, Natsu's hand-to-hand combat is natural, and his beast-like instinct brings him great convenience, which is something others cannot learn; in terms of strength, Erza and Laxus can beat Natsu, Gray and others with one hand, but Killer can't do it; in terms of endurance, others can fight for , but Killer can only fight for one day and one night at most.
But for Kira's sake, he couldn't possibly say to them, "I need to improve my melee ability, can you guys train me?" So he could only figure it out slowly while "training them myself."
Fortunately, hard work pays off. In the previous fight, he indeed found that he had improved a lot, and he also found several flaws of Natsu and Gajeel, but in the end he resisted the urge to attack, mainly because he was afraid that they would not be able to get up after one punch.
