Chapter 158: When magic is ineffective, you can only switch to Berserker
Erza stomped her feet hard, swung her swords, and then crossed them in front of her body, slashing upwards diagonally, one to the left and one to the right.
Mistgang also rushed forward and fought head-on. Even though he was wearing flip-flops, he still had a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person.
As he attacked, the black cloak behind him fluttered wildly, making a whirring sound. He raised his bandaged right arm, and with his 1.80-meter-tall height, he swung the nearly 2-meter-long magic wand and smashed it down hard on the pretty face in front of him, without mercy!
The way he fights doesn't seem like a wizard, but more like a warrior.
The magic wand hit the intersection of the two swords. The moment the three weapons met in the air, a fleeting spark was emitted. With the intersection as the center, a strong wind blew around. The two men wrestled and it was difficult to tell who was the better winner.
The two retreated as soon as they touched each other, jumped back, and then attacked again!
"Skyscraper!"
A plain and low voice sounded faintly, and Erza's eyes suddenly flickered, and she saw a strange beam of light rising from under her feet. The unimaginable attack wiped out most of the canyon. Then, the light was devoured by the darkness, and the surroundings fell into complete darkness.
The cold and eerie magic power filled the battlefield. A bloodthirsty monster tore through the darkness. The monster had a hideous face and roared with its huge mouth. Its sharp fangs and claws had never been seen before. In the strange space behind it, countless bloody monsters could be vaguely seen. There was a terrifying red light in their eyes. They seemed to be rushing towards the crack frantically.
"This kind of monster? No...it's an illusion!"
Erza closed her eyes and concentrated. The next moment, she changed her clothes and slashed with her sword. The space shattered along with the monster. Looking around, it was indeed the original battlefield, with two swords in her hands and sword marks everywhere.
"Great, you found the flaw so quickly, it's really worthy of you!" Mistgang praised his opponent.
Erza only opened her right eye and explained, "My right eye is an artificial eye. Magic and illusions targeting the eyes and mind are only half effective, so I quickly discovered the clue."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a rustling sound beside his ears. It was Mr. Gunn who realized that his illusion magic would be seen through sooner or later, so he took advantage of the moment when Erza was hit to perform a new move.
Five magic wands of different designs surrounded Erza in the middle. At the top of the wands, various magical powers sensed each other and made crackling sounds.
"Fifth-level magic circle, Mikagura!"
Ding ding ding——
White, yellow, blue, purple, and black, five magic circles appeared one after another above Erza's head, and then a bright laser was cast down and attacked Erza!
The gorgeous magic circle caused the audience in the stands to exclaim and their enthusiasm soared.
This magic looks gorgeous and has a nice name, but it actually has only two functions: one is to block the enemy's actions, and the other is to put the enemy to sleep.
Erza didn't know that this magic didn't have strong attack power, but her face remained calm. She calmly put on the Heavenly Wheel Armor, and her magic power burst out. She broke free from the sealed light column and broke through the predicament in an instant: "Heavenly Wheel·Circular Sword!"
Gray and Elfman had already left the battlefield. Erza had no more worries. Countless swords fell like a rainstorm. Mistgang was not in a hurry and pointed to cast a spell: "Triple magic circle, mirror water!"
Three bright magic circles unfolded in front of him, rebounding the oncoming rain of swords. The two rains of swords collided in the air, making a clanging sound. The sword blades kept hitting each other in the air, and then lost control and fell from the sky in large numbers.
Facing the rebounding rain of swords, Erza remained calm. Hundreds of sword blades surrounded her body, and she controlled them like arms. She gripped both swords tightly and chopped continuously, leaving several afterimages in the air. It looked like she had eight hands, and thousands of swords were attacking and defending at the same time, showing her queen's style to the fullest.
Mistgang was very depressed at this time. He was not a warlike person and had no interest in this kind of competition. He didn't want to fight with his guildmates. If Marklov hadn't said that everyone had to participate, he would not have come!
But now that I'm here, I have to give it my all!
But the opponent in front of him was quite troublesome. Mistgang found that Erza seemed to be able to restrain him: "My magic always makes the enemy fall into an illusion or sleep state. If Erza is immune to this, most of the magic will be ineffective, as for physical skills..."
Mistgan sighed, holding a magic wand in both hands across his body, and assumed a fighting stance like he was holding a gun.
In order to be able to fight in Aedras where magic cannot be used, he did a lot of training...
Compared to this side, the battle on the other side ended very quickly.
Without using magic, Elfman and Gray are equally matched. This is the conclusion drawn from usual fights in the guild, but if magic is taken into account, Elfman obviously has stronger physical strength after receiving the Soul of the Beast King.
However, the battle now is not about who is stronger. The Soul of the Beast King has indeed greatly improved the magician's attack and defense attributes, but the Ice Shape Magic is also a very powerful magic, with high attack, strong defense and fast speed. Facing Elfman who only has brute force, Gray chose to use softness to overcome hardness and cleverness to break strength, and soon gained the upper hand.
"The Beast King's full-strength attack!!"
"Ice Cannon!!"
No matter how powerful the Beast King is, he cannot withstand the avalanche-like compression cannon. As both sides used their ultimate moves, Gray and Elfman finally decided the winner after a few minutes.
After the loud noise, Elfman was exhausted and fell to the ground. Gray, with half of his face swollen, used ice to reduce the swelling while running back to support Mistgang.
At this time, Lucy had sneaked across the center of the canyon and entered the middle lane of the red team, where she met Alba Green who was guarding there.
"I really didn't expect that someone could come here."
Alba Green stood under the crystal tower and looked at Lucy who came from afar. She had long curly hair, wore glasses, and dressed like a fairy in the legend. She covered half of her face with a fan, looking seductive.
Everyone in the guild knew that Alba Green had an inexplicable obsession with fairies. She had loved stories about fairies since she was a child, and even joined the guild simply because of her name. She was also a very proud person and thought she was the most beautiful woman in Fairy Tail. Based on these two points, she was very resentful towards Erza.
In this game, Erza asked her to guard the tower. She refused at first , then resisted, and then... Erza spent a minute to make her obedient, and at the same time she learned what "Fairy Queen" meant.
"He came alone to steal the tower. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
Facing Alba Green's sneer and ridicule, Lucy was a little angry: Who are you looking down on? I am a star wizard with 8 zodiac star keys! Do you know what gold content this is?
Thinking of this, Lucy immediately wanted to retort, but she swallowed the words back.
Lucy secretly encouraged herself: No, I can't curse! There may be a lot of people watching me outside. In order to improve my reputation in the magic world and to get high-paying tasks, I have to stay a lady and maintain my temperament! Lucy, hold it in! You can do it!
What she didn't know was that at this moment the audience's attention was focused on Erza VS Mystogon, Gray VS Elfman, and the upcoming Erza VS Gray + Mystogon, and not many people were paying attention to this place.
Lucy looked around, and then found Dolor and Tono in the corner. She was stunned for a moment before she realized: "There are so many people in the red team?!"
I thought I could steal the tower, but ended up being one against three?
She was very familiar with Dolaire, she was Levi's teammate, she used plant magic; as for Tono...
Well, she didn't know this person at all, and she had only heard his name during this competition. She only knew that he was a younger brother who used up all the magic. He was only 15 years old this year. From his appearance, he seemed to be a very easy-to-talk and kind person. His magic was to emit energy from his body to attack people around him.
Because of this magic, Kira once described him as "a great man who can become the light" and expressed his optimism about his future.
