Chapter 168: Two People Restraining Each Other
Erza broke free from the illusion and woke up in such a short time, which was completely within Mr. Mistgan's expectations. He knew yesterday that her right eye was a prosthetic eye, which could reduce the effect of illusions by half or even completely immune, so he didn't expect to delay it for long.
"Penglai is right!"
Inserting a magic wand into the ground, Mistgang pulled out another magic wand, transforming into the "Three-Wand Flow", taking advantage of the brief opportunity to launch an attack. The three magic wands collided at one place, and the magic power combined into a whirlwind attack towards Erza.
But Erza cracked Maple Dance faster than he expected!
"Change clothes, Wind God Armor!"
A tribal-style robe covers the upper body, with fur on the collar and triangular patterns on the cuffs, a fur-lined belt, white bandages wrapped around the forearms from wrist to elbow, black pants and a pair of light boots on the lower body, a pair of wings on each side of the head, and the hair is tied in a low ponytail.
Erza changed her clothes instantly, and a peculiarly shaped sword of the god of wind appeared in her hand. With a swing of the blade, a violent storm whistled out and hit the oncoming whirlwind directly.
At this moment, Erza seemed to be possessed by the legendary God of Wind. The two winds collided with each other, canceling each other out and causing scattered air currents.
But Erza was clearly not satisfied with this result, and swung twice more: "Sword of the Wind God, stir up a violent gale!"
Facing the attack of the wind, Mistgan inserted the two staffs in his hands on both sides in front of him, and skillfully pulled out the last two magic staffs together. The five magic staffs of different shapes each have their own power, and through different combinations, they can form various rare magics.
"Quadruple magic circle, Saro-Kagura!"
Ding—ding—ding—ding—!
Four magic circles, blue, red, white and black, appeared one after another and lined up in front of Mistgang, forming a huge fan-shaped area that restrained the strong winds brought by the Sword of the Wind God, making it impossible to escape. Finally, the magic power was exhausted and peace returned.
"A magic that blocks magic?" Erza determined the effect of this magic at a glance, and then thought of the physique of the people of Adras, and understood the purpose of this magic. "It's really unexpected but reasonable!"
"Change your outfit, Demon Armor!"
This is a set of purple-black armor, made of the fur of the Beast King and steel, and is extremely tough; the matching Demon Sword is shaped like a humerus and is pale in color. The black and white colors complement each other, giving it a unique style. This sword has no hilt or tip, but instead looks like a bone stick used to hit people.
Erza approached with a sword in hand, choosing the close combat that she was best at.
"You said your magic has little effect on me, but my magic has no effect on you either!" Erza slashed with all her might, "In the end, we have no choice but to fight in this way..."
Mistogang was speechless and silently blocked with his staff.
"This is a familiar scene. Are they out of tricks?" Kira said disappointedly as he sat in the stands. "Are those cool, flashy, special-effects magic battles over? This kind of melee combat doesn't look like a wizard at all."
Lucy next to her asked, "Why don't they fight with magic anymore?"
Kira turned around and found that everyone else was waiting for him to pretend... No, they were waiting for him to explain, so he cleared his throat and said, "Erza's strongest attack is the Heavenly Wheel Armor. The function of the armor is to control multiple swords, but she tried this trick yesterday. The rain of swords will be rebounded by the mirror water of Mistgang, which is not worth the loss."
"Similarly, after the test just now, it was proved that long-range magic is also restricted by the restraint of Kagura in Mistgang's move, so we can only fight in close combat and use swordsmanship."
"Look at Mistgang again. His specialty magic, Skyscraper, Mist Illusion, Dreamland, Maple Dance, Kagura, etc., are all illusion magic or hypnosis magic targeting mental power, which is also restrained by Erza."
"Maybe they have some special moves, but they are probably the ones they would only use in life-and-death fights. Now we are just competing with our companions, so they will definitely not use them."
"So it's like this now. Two S-class wizards can only fight in close combat like warriors."
After Kira's analysis, the confused people suddenly understood.
At this time, Rocky, who was concentrating on watching the game, seemed to have discovered something: "The sword in Erza's hand is so strange. If I'm not mistaken, it seems to have no blade?"
Natsu next to him looked confused, "No blade? Isn't that just an iron rod?"
The two men turned their gaze towards Kira, obviously knowing who had created the armor.
"Oh, you read that right, that weapon is a stick!" Kira explained, "But it's not an iron stick, it's a bone stick, made from some hard animal bones using a special secret method. Don't underestimate it, it has a very strong striking ability! An ordinary piece of iron is no different from tofu in front of it."
"Tsk! If it sounds so powerful, then why can't it break Mistgang's magic wand?"
Kira looked at them as if they were idiots: "Of course it's because I made them all. They're made of the same material!"
Everyone: “…”
Lucy: “I can’t refute that at all…”
Natsu: “That’s right…”
Mistgang and Erza are both experienced masters. Even without using magic, they can fight fiercely. Under Disper's vivid commentary, the audience's enthusiasm was aroused and they shouted continuously.
10 minutes…20 minutes…30 minutes…
Ping-pong...clang-clang...the sound of metal colliding is endless.
Kira rubbed his ears and complained, "If you keep going like this my ears will explode!"
Boom!
The powerful blow of the stick hit the ground, and the place where it was hit sank into a hole and cracked outwards. It can be seen that there are already many such holes and similar cracks on the stage.
Fortunately, perhaps for the sake of competition funds, the two concentrated their attacks on a small area and did not spread the battle range too wide. The smaller the range, the more skilled the two men appeared.
Erza pulled the Demon Sword in her hand horizontally, and Mistgang took a step back and picked up the three magic wands at his side, held them with both hands, stepped to the right to avoid a downward attack, squatted slightly, and turned forward with the magic wand. Three attacks came from his shoulders, waist, and knees respectively, attacking Erza in turn, making whistling sounds.
The fighting style of the Five Staffs was not only novel, but also unique, and it was something that had never been seen or heard of. Mistgang's attack angles were tricky, his speed was unpredictable, his strength was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and it was hard to grasp. The inertia of rotation increased the power of the staff, and if you were not careful, you would be hit. By then, even if you were immune to hypnotic magic, you might still be knocked out.
Facing such a Mistgang, Erza was not afraid at all. Although she could see that the equipment of both men was made by Kira and used the same material, their different uses determined the upper limit of the weapons' attack.
Mistgang's magic wand is mainly used for casting spells. The correct way to use it is to arrange the magic circles in the five magic wands in different combinations and orders to produce specific magic. In comparison, the role of the bone stick is simpler and easier to understand. It is used to hit people, knock them out, and at most stab people.
Ding! Ding! Dong!
The sword was swung out, leaving three sword shadows in the air. With her extraordinary eyesight and unparalleled hand speed, Erza hit Mistgang's aerial spinning attack continuously in less than a second and used the force to retreat.
"Fifth-level magic circle: Mikagara!"
Hearing the sound, Erza discovered that about one meter behind her, there were two magic wands that the opponent had dropped during the battle.
Swish, swish, swish——
Looking back again, three shadows descended and he became the center of five magic wands in the blink of an eye!
"Has the long period of close combat made you forget how wizards fight with each other?"
If it were someone else, they might think that Mistgang was mocking her, but Erza didn't think so. On the contrary, she took it as a kind reminder, reminding herself not to be careless in battle.
Although I was indeed careless, but...
"This trick is no longer useful!" Erza said confidently.
"Yeah?"
Ding—ding—ding—ding—ding—ding!
White, black, purple, green, red and blue, six magic circles emerged one after another in the encirclement formed by five magic wands. The gorgeous magic circles rekindled the enthusiasm of the audience.
