Chapter 169 Strength Positioning
“Ohhhh!! It’s finally here! This is how a wizard fights!!”
Being in the formation was the easiest to notice something unusual, Erza immediately reacted: "Isn't this Mikagura?"
Mistgang chose to use a move instead of answering: "Six-fold Magic Circle Maitreya!"
Without waiting for Mistgang to answer, Erza wanted to dodge, but it was too late. This move of Miroku was obviously more difficult to deal with than that of Miroku. Although she didn't know what the effect was, she had already been hit. Now she could not move and could only watch the beam of light fall on her.
Erza stared at Mystogon with her eyes wide open, her black pupils filled with disbelief. She didn't say anything, but when he saw her eyes, Mystogon knew what she wanted to say.
"How can five magic wands create a six-fold magic array?"
"You still say your magic is restrained by me?!"
"Is it too late to accept your surrender?"
"I didn't expect that a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also learn to lie?!"
"He looks so honest on the surface, but he is so treacherous behind the scenes!"
"This must be something to do with Ji... ahem, I don't know who you learned this insidious trick from!"
"As expected, all people named Gerard are not good people!"
“…”
That’s all.
It seemed as if he had some sense of it, perhaps it was a tacit understanding between companions. Anyway, Mr. Gang understood it, so he nodded, as a sign of tacit agreement.
Erza: “…”
"Oops! After 30 minutes of close combat, Erza finally showed her weakness and was defeated by Mistgang!"
Disper came out again to show his presence, "This is another magic trick I have never seen before. What does it do? Even I am looking forward to it!"
Not only Disper, but all the audience present were attracted by this move. Mistgang's strength has always been a mystery, and no one has ever seen him use his full strength. Even today, when he was fighting with Erza, he was still performing with ease.
In the stands, Lucy said, "Come to think of it, although I've only seen Disper take action once, his strength should be about the same as Kira's, right?"
Natsu asked, "So what?"
"If we follow the analogy, assuming that the combat power of the isomorphs of Edlas and Ascalante is similar, then the true strength of Mistgan should be about the same as that of Jellal. By this calculation, he is also at the level of the Ten Holy Mages!"
Natsu nodded, not quite understanding, "So what? Erza was able to fight Jellal on equal terms in the Tower of Paradise before!"
"No! According to Erza, she was at a disadvantage in the battle at the Tower of Paradise!"
Lucy continued, "Also, Erza fights with armor and swords, and every blow draws blood, while Mistgang fights with magic, and his fighting methods mostly involve making the enemy fall into illusions or coma."
"That is to say, in this match, in a duel based on the premise of 'not using a fatal killing move' , the strength that Erza can display should be weaker than using the Mistgun!"
Lucy's words are easy to understand. In simple terms, they are:
Because: Kira ≈ Disper
So: Erza＜Jellal≈Mistgang
Known: Restricted Erza << Full Power Erza
And: Limited Mister Post ＜= Full Mister Post
Conclusion: Limit Erza << Limit Mistgang
"I see!" Natsu suddenly realized, "But the game is almost over now, what's the point of you saying this?"
Lucy: “…”
After two seconds of silence, she said, "Nothing, I just suddenly figured it out..."
Kira heard the conversation between the two. Judging from his vision, Lucy's assessment of the strength of the two people on the field was quite accurate. The only mistake was that she missed the fact that Jellal and Erza might not have used their full strength in the battle.
Although it has little impact on the result, her high school teacher taught her that the process will be scored. If she could include this point in the argumentation of the big question "On the strength positioning of Erza and Mistgang", her answer would surely get a higher score .
"Come to think of it, today we not only saw Maple Dance, Penglai Zheng, but also the appearance of Utsukura, and now there is this move of Maitreya. It turns out that Mistgang's moves are not limited to those few moves."
In Kira's memory, there were only two battles in the Fairy Tail manga, and the moves were pitifully few:
Skyscraper was cracked by Laxus in a few seconds; Mirror Water bounced back magic several times, which was relatively useful; Mikagura was too flashy, and the special effects were too expensive, which led to the cancellation of Mistgang, and it was never successful once.
Because he fights less and is set to have no magic power, Kira has always believed that Mistgang's S-class title is exaggerated, and even thinks that his strength is inferior to Erza's.
If the strength of the entire Fairy Tail is roughly divided from 1 to 10, it can be roughly divided into the following levels:
The vulnerable extras: There are so many of them;
Supporting characters with names and surnames: the minor members of the guilds that can participate in the Grand Demon Fighting Performance;
The middle level of the Fairy Tail Guild: the representative figures are the Thunder Gods;
The top figures of each guild: people like Leon, Kagura, and Pascal;
S-class wizards: The five strongest fighters, six demons, and seven followers of the Saberbite Tiger are stronger;
Holy Ten: Nine Ghost Gates
The top ten of the Holy Ones: Wu, Hades, and Pluto;
Shield level: Twelve shields, no need to say more;
Twin Walls : Irene and the Magic King;
Ceiling: Black Dragon and Zeref.
At the beginning, Kira thought that Jellal's strength was 6.5, which was middle level of the Holy Ten, Erza's strength was 6, just at the entry level of the Holy Ten, and Mistgang's strength was 5, only S level. But now it seems that he should have underestimated it. His combat power index is at least at the Holy Ten!
As for Kira, he positioned himself at 7.5 to 8, which means he was between the top of the Holy Ten and the shield level.
It's not that he overestimates the shield-level strength. You know, although the Twelve Shields are all geniuses, they have 7 more years of training time than the main group of Fairy Tail, so their talents are actually similar, or even far inferior.
In fact, Brandish, the youngest of the Twelve Shields, is about the same age as Lucy now. Kira estimates that her maximum strength is level 6.
If the main force of Fairy Tail had not been sealed for 7 years, then 8 years later, one guild would have been more than enough to deal with the Twelve Shields of the Empire. Maybe even Lucy could have taken more than one head - in the Hades Gate arc, Lucy showed the potential to open three gates. With an extra 7 years of training, it wouldn't be too much to open 4 gates, right?
On the stage, Mistgang, whose combat power was re-evaluated to be above 6, used his ultimate move directly on Erza. Erza was immobilized and unable to move, and was accurately hit by this "Mitroku" move!
The black beam of light fell down like a black hole that swallowed everything, sucking away all the energy of the people trapped inside!
This is not the magic power of Alia that the Phantom has drained away. Maitreya is just consuming the magic, physical and mental power of the wizard. The magic power can be recovered after resting, but the victim will not be able to continue fighting in a short period of time.
"This magic is..."
Erza's eyes widened. She felt her magic power and physical strength draining away quickly. An indescribable and uncontrollable fatigue surged over her like a tide. For the first time, she felt how weak her will was.
In less than three seconds, Erza lost all her strength, her legs went limp, and she was about to fall down uncontrollably. In a hurry, she stuck the bone stick in her hand into the ground and supported herself on it with both hands, barely keeping her body stable, but she still inevitably collapsed and sat down.
"I didn't expect you to have such magic. I was so careless!" Erza sighed as her eyelids drooped and she felt sleepy. She looked at the figure that walked in and said, "I never thought that there would be such a day between you and me..."
Mistgang put away his magic wand, looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and said, "This is a rare opportunity, let me indulge myself for once!"
" Ha...I lost!"
Amidst the shock and shouting, Mistgang politely pulled Erza up from the ground and helped her off the stage.
Disper held the microphone and exclaimed repeatedly: "Oh my God! What did I see?! The undefeated 'Fairy Queen' Erza met her first opponent today! The final winner of this game is that mysterious man, his name is - Mistgang!!!"
“Ohhhhhh!!!”
"You are really amazing, Mistergang! I know you are not simple just by looking at that outfit!"
"As expected, men wearing capes are so handsome!!"
"No! Don't do this! Erza lost or something..."
"Erza actually lost? This is the first time, right?"
Looking at Mistergang who walked silently towards the promotion area and finally sat next to him, Kira's eyes sparkled: "This is beyond my expectation, Mistergang!"
“…”
Mistergang: Why do I suddenly feel an inexplicable sense of unease?
