Chapter 153: Enemies from the Side Road
The strategy of defending but not attacking was very effective, because they soon heard footsteps, which were urgent but not noisy.
“Someone is coming!”
“It’s from the middle!”
"Only one person? Could it be Erza?"
"Hehehe, she definitely won't expect that five of us are lying in wait for her here!"
"By the way, the only one among us who can defeat Erza is Mistgang, right?"
Except for Mr. Mistgang, the other four people were talking to each other. They were lying in ambush on the side of the road, using the half-human-high grass to hide their bodies, ready to rush forward as soon as the person appeared.
Tap... tap... here we are!
"superior!"
"Ice creation, ice hammer!"
Gray was the first to rush forward, swinging his sledgehammer very hard. He was usually timid and didn't dare to fight back, but in fact, deep down, he had been waiting to beat Erza for a long time!
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. You must seize the opportunity! Anyway, when the time comes, we will all be blamed.
Puff!
The man who came was smashed into pieces by a hammer and turned into a ball of water.
"What?"
"Juvia? Why are you here?"
Did the Black Team and the Red Team join forces? No, that's not right. If the Black Team wanted to launch a sneak attack, they should have come from the side. How could they come from the middle? And there was no one behind them.
"Gray-sama~" Juvia transformed into her human form again and rushed towards Gray, hugging him.
The love-brained girl started brainstorming the first time she saw Gray, not realizing that something was wrong. "I didn't expect to meet you here. Is this fate?"
After saying that, he looked at Lucy : "Why is this woman Lucy here too?! She secretly teamed up with Gray-sama without Juvia's knowledge, and now she is in a place like this with Gray-sama, could it be..."
In an instant, words such as betrayal, date, and affair flashed wildly in Juvia's mind.
"The team was obviously formed randomly..." Lucy was speechless and pointed at the crystal tower behind her. "Besides, this is our blue team's territory. It's normal for me to be here, right?"
"Hmm? Blue Team's territory?"
Juvia looked up and saw a crystal clear blue crystal half the size of a person hanging in the crystal tower in the distance.
"This is actually the Blue Team's Crystal Tower?!" Juvia exclaimed, "But, Juvia was clearly running straight forward from the Black Team's territory! She should have gone to the White Team's territory!"
Gray and Lucy looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.
"Could it be that someone tampered with it on the way?"
"Did you run into anyone or anything on the way here?"
Juvia recalled carefully and said, "Well... Juvia, Natsu, and Gajeel set out from the Black Team's Crystal Tower, and then met Kira, so we decided to let Natsu and Gajeel hold them back while Juvia took the opportunity to escape. When we passed the center of the canyon, we saw Laxus trapped in a ritual magic, and then we entered the passage leading to the White Team and ran all the way here."
Lucy pinched her chin and thought: "It seems that Kira, Laxus, and Felide should be the first to reach the center of the canyon and set a trap there."
Gray continued to analyze: "Felid's magic has a certain range and rules, but it will not confuse people's sense of direction or make them go the wrong way, so..."
"It must be Kira's doing! He made you come to our side when you were supposed to go to the middle of the white team!"
"Not only that, given his personality, he may have messed up all the passages in the canyon. I wonder why Erza hasn't attacked yet. It seems that she has been led to another team."
The two seemed to be thinking the same thing, in perfect sync, with tacit understanding, and smiled wickedly as they talked, but in Juvia's eyes, this was the two of them flirting in front of her. She felt uncomfortable, and her pretty face instantly darkened. She squeezed in between the two and stared at Lucy.
"You flirted with Gray-sama in front of Juvia. That's unforgivable!"
Lucy: “…”
At this time, Macao and Wallian, who had been watching the show on the side, felt relieved.
"It seems that we were right to choose a defensive strategy before! Otherwise, we would have been fighting with people from other teams now ."
"By the time Erza and the others get here, they might be exhausted. We have a chance, we have a chance to win!"
The two of them were arm in arm, dancing, and were just about to open a bottle of wine to celebrate.
"Oh right!" Gray, who was a little annoyed by Juvia's pestering, suddenly had an idea and said to Juvia, "Your target is the crystal of the White Team, right?"
Juvia nodded, "Yes."
"That's great, you can just go through this side road," Gray excitedly pressed Juvia's shoulder and pointed to the path on the left, "This road leads directly to the White Team's crystal tower, Kira may not have time to set a trap!"
He has wanted to see Kira get humiliated for a long time.
"It's decided. Let me go with you! Let's go steal the tower!"
Juvia's face flushed, her eyes turned into hearts, and she twisted her body into a ball with excitement: "Could this be... a date invitation from Gray-sama?!"
[Juvia, let me be with you! Let's go on a date! ]
“Ahhhh!!!”
Everyone: “…”
"What on earth did this guy think of?"
Thinking that Kira was already fighting with Natsu and Gajeel, Gray pulled Juvia directly towards the direction of the White Team.
"There's no time to lose, let's go! Natsu and Gajeel won't be able to hold out for much longer! I hope we make it in time!"
"Yes~"
Juvia's mind is now filled with thoughts like "Gray-sama is holding my hand" and "Gray-sama is caring about me". The outcome of the game has long been forgotten by her.
Seeing the two people leave without looking back, Lucy was angry and helpless: "Really! These two guys don't care about the team at all..."
Makao said in an experienced manner: "Of course, young men and women who fall in love will easily ignore other people around them!"
"It's only the girl who's in love..."
On this side, the battle on the blue and white line is about to begin, while on the other side, the offensive and defensive battle on the yellow and white line has already begun.
Bisca VS Rocky!
Bang! Bang!
Bisca's gunshot was short and powerful, hitting the intruder's feet accurately!
"Rocky? You came alone?"
Compared to his real name Leo, people in the guild are more accustomed to calling him Rocky.
Bisca immediately signaled to her teammates: "Attention, left flank, Rocky from the Yellow Team is attacking!"
After saying that, Bisca fired three more shots in an attempt to stop Rocky's advance, but due to the previous attack , Rocky had already sensed her position and dodged easily when he was prepared. Even the tracking bullets were shot down by Rocky one by one.
"Bisca? If she's not Kira or Bigusro, she should be easy to deal with..." Rocky thought as he looked at the bushes in front of him. He knew Bisca was hiding in them. "Try to block my attack if you can!"
I saw him clenching his fists and making a "cross" gesture in front of him, with dazzling golden light wrapped around his hands.
"Lion Shine!"
Instantly, the lion's radiance cast a long shadow on the ground.
"Oops, I can't see..."
Even through the scope, the sudden flash still made Bisca's eyes hurt. She quickly lowered her head, and salty tears flowed down her face.
While lowering her head, Bisca continued to attack. She fired several shots at the original target and then predicted and fired a few more shots at positions where the opponent might avoid her, perfectly demonstrating the qualities of a shooter.
Unfortunately, from the sound she heard, she could tell that the bullet only hit the ground and did not cause any harm to Rocky, which also reflected the strength of the gunman - the opponent anticipated her prediction.
Just when Bisca finally recovered and was about to open her eyes, Rocky's voice came from the side: "Lion Charge!"
With a loud shout, a mighty and brave golden-haired lion immediately jumped out of the golden magic circle. The lion's eyes radiated a red-yellow light, as if they could shoot out sharp flames. A heavy and low roar came out from its open mouth, which was very majestic.
He did not attack Bisca directly, but attacked the ground in front of her. After all, this was just a competition game, and the opponent in front of him was not a real enemy, not to mention she was a girl, so Rocky showed mercy.
However……
"Change your outfit! Bone Crusher Cannon!"
Bisca showed no mercy and pulled out the new weapon she had bought from Kira's shop.
