Chapter 174 Ice and Sand
Gray almost burst out cursing when he heard Kira's words.
What do you mean you are willing to call me the strongest? You say that as if you are very powerful! And in the guild? Why don't you say that you are the strongest in the Kingdom of Fiore!
Gray attacked without a good temper, raising his hand and slashing forward with the three-meter-long ice sword, and the ice blades also moved with it, all fired towards Kira's position.
Kira remained calm and narrowed the magic range. With a constant output of magic power, the drying performance in the area was significantly improved. Even though the entire competition stage was covered with ice, there was still no ice or water stains within a three-foot radius centered on Kira.
"Come again, come again!"
"You really deserve a beating!"
Facing Kira's verbal provocation, Gray chose to attack regardless of everything. The long sword in his hand stabbed straight forward. With the blessing of ice magic, even if it stepped into the dry area, it was still as long as an ordinary sword.
Kira exclaimed in surprise: "Oh? You managed to make it this far. It seems like you have made some progress. That's great!"
"Isn't it just concentrating and gathering the magic power to make a breakthrough? Who are you looking down on?"
Gray said unhappily, with the half-broken ice sword in his hand against Kira's chest, and then his left hand quickly slapped the right hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, and then he used his ultimate move again!
"Ice Creation, the God's Hundred Burial Ice Flower!"
Clang clang clang——
Bright and beautiful hexagonal ice flowers instantly bloomed on the ground. Unlike the previous large-scale attack [The Devil's Eternal Frozen Broken Fangs], this move did not seek breadth, but only temperature. The magic power consumption was almost the same, but the target was only one person!
Under Gray's control, ice flowers bloomed within one foot around Kira, spreading upward along Kira's feet at a rate of ten flowers per second. The speed was amazing, and the number of ice flowers that bloomed layer upon layer was astounding!
"You actually have another trick?" Kira reacted instantly, "That's when you realized it, right?"
Learning a group attack trick from the Ice Demon King and a single attack trick from the Black and White Goddess, this talent is unparalleled! Gray only came into contact with them once! He just used a combination magic under his own connection! Too much cheating!
Gray showed a smug smile and said, "Of course, I have been holding it in for so long just to trick you this time!"
Kira nodded and asked again: "You... are you referring to me and who?"
"You... or Erza, Mistgang and the others, or at the very least Natsu..." Gray said, "I have been secretly practicing for a long time for this competition!"
"Are you really practicing secretly? Why do I see you drinking every time I go to the guild?"
Gray: “…”
After two simple conversations, the ice flowers had bloomed to Kira's neck. Kira felt it carefully and found that this move of Hundred Burial Ice Flowers was indeed not just for show.
The power of ice in the ice flowers is very strong. The freezing air enters the body, damaging the muscles and nerves of the victim, and directly causing loss of consciousness where the flowers bloom. If it were an ordinary person, not only would they not be able to use magic, even speaking and moving would become a problem.
This move is indeed very powerful, but it is not a big problem for Kira.
Users of Word Magic can use magic as long as their mouths can move.
"Quicksand waterfall!"
Kira spoke lightly, and a surge of magic power was released from the magic source in his body, forming a huge brown magic circle under his feet. The next moment, the magic circle glowed and magic power surged out.
In an instant, the scene of the entire arena changed rapidly. The ice turned into yellow sand, and the original ice and snow turned into a desert in the blink of an eye. There was ten or a hundred times as much sand as the ice on the field before.
At the same time, both the few remaining ice swords in Gray's hand and the ice flowers covering Kira's body were out of Gray's control and incredibly transformed into another completely different substance.
The sand had no controller, and under the influence of gravity, it fell uncontrollably and covered Kira.
Feeling a weight on his feet, Kira frowned and looked down at the pure white magic boots, complaining: "What a hassle, there's sand in my shoes, I have to pour it out as soon as possible..."
Gray: “…”
You bastard, can you please respect me?
Kira ignored Gray, stretched out his right hand, and tried to scratch the air with his five fingers, but found that it didn't have much effect: "Hmm... It seems that the frost has been lifted... Don't look at me like that, your magic is still very strong, but mine is stronger."
After thinking for a while, Kira spread his hands, and the yellow sand on the field slowly moved as if it had life, turning into twelve pairs of huge wings behind Kira, and at the same time gathered into a solid ball of sand under his feet, lifting up his body.
Sensing the changes around him, Gray took two steps back, became alert, looked up at Kira in mid-air, and asked, "What kind of magic is this? What on earth are you doing?"
Kira looked down with his eyes slanted, assuming a superior attitude: "You have done your best, Gray."
Gray's face was filled with black lines: "This tone... bastard! I can't hold back the urge to beat him up!"
Seeing the changes on the field and hearing what Kira said, the guild members in the audience who were familiar with Kira expressed the same thoughts as Gray. They were very familiar with Kira's character, and as for his performance, they could only say ... it was not surprising.
The strange thing was that the other audience members seemed to like this and someone in the audience cheered enthusiastically.
"So handsome, Lord Kira!"
"This look and tone are so cool!"
"Please teach me! I want to learn this kind of magic!"
Hearing the cheers from the field, Gray was speechless and complained: "Are these guys children? They actually think this is cool? They say people are divided into groups, and Kira is indeed such a person..."
"Now it's my turn to attack, Sand Bullet!"
In the air, Kira shouted coldly and flapped his wings forward. Countless bullets made of sand poured out. The bullets were only as big as a thumb, but they were extremely fast and had much higher kinetic energy than real bullets.
Gray created an ice shield in the shape of an ice flower directly in front of him: "Ice, shield!"
Ping-pong...
Sand bullets rained down on the shield, creating a loud white noise.
"Desert Sword!"
Kira waved his hand, and the yellow sand that fell to the ground immediately formed a big machete, which was extremely sharp and directly pierced Gray's ice shield.
"Danger!"
Gray stepped back in shock and had just avoided the sand knife when he heard the sound of sand again. Looking up, he saw yellow sand like waves, covering the sky and the earth, and coming towards him from all directions. There was no escape.
"Sand sea!" Kira took off his sand wings and turned into a huge wave to attack downwards.
The situation was critical, Gray gritted his teeth and used the last remaining magic power: "Ice Creation, Wave!"
bass!
The ice instantly froze the yellow sand, and the danger was once again averted!
"Huh... finally..." Gray had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly sensed something and his face changed drastically.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, ice chips fell, and a crack appeared on the huge iceberg. The crack then quickly extended and spread, covering the entire iceberg in the blink of an eye, and finally shattered with a loud bang, revealing an ochre core.
The yellow sand absorbed the moisture in the ice again!
The sea of sand descended, engulfing Gray completely.
“Damn it… Ugh…”
After a while of squirming, the yellow sand outside dissipated, revealing the situation inside: the yellow sand was made into five chains and four shackles, which tied . Not only that, there were three prison cells outside, one inside another.
Everyone: “…”
After pulling hard and unable to break free, Gray had no choice but to admit defeat: "Okay, I give up!"
Kira nodded and waved his hand to dispel the magic. The endless yellow sand immediately turned into dust. A gust of wind from nowhere blew it away, as if it had never appeared.
"The game is over, and the winner is...Kira!!"
Amid the cheers, Kira stepped forward and patted Gray on the shoulder: "Remember to learn a few more moves next time!"
After saying this, he walked straight off the stage without waiting for a reply.
"Mm, perfect! I must look so handsome like this!"
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard Gray's doubtful voice, pretending to be whispering to himself, but actually speaking loudly: "It's not like I haven't lost before, why is this guy so arrogant? Doesn't he think this is cool?"
Kira: “…”
