Chapter 180: Fire and Water Cannot Coexist
Natsu was excited when he felt Mira's aura: "Ah! This is the Ice Demon King who devoured many demons that we met on Zonia!"
Hearing this, Mira, who had been cold and domineering, immediately smiled. This contrast aroused the restless hearts of countless viewers.
"I've heard about your mission in Zonia . If you're scared, you still have time to surrender now!"
"No way!" Natsu clenched his fists and touched them in front of his chest, smiling confidently, "The mission with Zonia was originally mine, which means it was supposed to be my opponent. Now it's a good opportunity to finish it off!"
"Are you sure? The Ice Demon King's soul is no less powerful than Satan's!"
"Stop talking nonsense, here it comes!" Natsu said no more and punched directly, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Mira did not use magic to fight back, but simply stretched out her right hand, spread her five fingers and steadily caught the powerful blow.
Lucy below was responsible for exclaiming: "Amazing! He took Natsu's attack so easily..."
Kira rolled his eyes silently. Hasn't Natsu's fire fist been blocked enough times?
During the battle, Natsu kept punching and kicking, leaving countless afterimages, but Mira was calm and composed, standing in place and responding easily. Her palms also turned into afterimages at this time, and she raised and lowered them to catch all of Natsu's punches, and slightly turned sideways to avoid Natsu's kicks.
There were no fancy illusions, only foot attacks that were too fast to be seen clearly. However, compared with the close combats I saw in the past two days, there was a different kind of beauty.
"It's so fast... I can't see clearly..."
"My eyes are sore ..."
Several extras in the audience spoke up. They were just ordinary people whose dynamic vision could not keep up with the fight between the two people on the field and could not catch the real punches and palms. They could only relax a little and pretend that they were severely myopic and had astigmatism.
The two fought for nearly 10 minutes, and Natsu was the first to retreat and withdraw from the battle circle.
"What's wrong, are you going to admit defeat?"
Mira asked, her voice filled with an indescribable yet awe-inspiring coldness, like a proud ice queen living in a castle, questioning the leader of the rebellious army.
Natsu chuckled, "No way! Now we have to get serious!"
After saying this, jets of flames began to spread along his limbs and all over his body. After a while, his entire body was completely covered in red flames.
"Fire Mode!"
Mira's eyes lit up: "It seems that we can't be careless next time!"
"It's Natsu's Fire Mode!" Erza looked at the two people on the stage and analyzed, "Although the magic amplification technique can improve Natsu's combat ability, he still has little chance of winning against Mira."
"That's Mirasan, how could Natsu win!" Gray said sourly, "Just being able to get here is enough for that guy to brag about for a while."
Lucy said embarrassedly: "Don't say that, maybe it will work? Who could have expected that he could get here..."
"It's not that I didn't expect this. Ever since the score table after the preliminary round came out, I had a premonition of this scene. Look here," Kira took out the previous 16-man battle list and pointed to the list on Natsu's side and said, "Bisca, Natsu, Bigusro, Marcus, Mira, Wakaba, Elfman, Rocky, there are not many capable players on this side!"
"On our side, besides Levy's relatively weak strength, the worst is at the level of the Thunder Gods, not to mention Erza and Mistgun. If one of them is put on this side, Natsu will only be eliminated in the quarterfinals. So, luck is really important!"
At this time, Lu Xia noticed something: "I remember this list is based on the results of the preliminary round, right?"
Several people turned their heads and saw her continue, "In other words, as long as you are the first to be eliminated and then contribute the most to the team, you will have a chance to advance to the semi-finals!"
Everyone: “!!”
"What are you talking about?" Erza scolded, "Deliberately being the first to be eliminated just to be in the top four? How could you have such an idea!?"
Kana pondered, "However, among the team ranked first in the preliminary round, three people have the same chance..."
Gray retorted: "In the preliminary round, teammates are assigned based on the overall strength of the team. In other words, if a strong person like Kira appears in the team, the strength of the other three will not be very strong. Generally speaking, the person who contributes the most to the team is often the strongest person."
"That is to say, if it was Gajeel who won the first place in the black team, he would be the one standing on the field and competing with Mira for the right to the finals!"
Everyone lowered their heads in silence. Lucy and Cana even turned away to avoid letting Gray notice their strange gaze. He said this in a tactful way, but everyone knew what he meant: If I had been on the black team at that time, I would be the one standing on top now!
Juvia stood beside Gray, cheering him up without any eyesight: "Gray-sama, don't be sad, come to Juvia's arms and vent your feelings~"
Kira sighed, "He lost the game but won the person. Gray is so lucky!"
Gray: “…”
On the battlefield, Natsu and Mira continued their mental battle as before. This time, their attacks were faster and more powerful. Even Mira began to feel exhausted. Pa pa pa... bang bang bang... puff puff... bang bang bang...
"The Fire Dragon's Claw!"
"The Broken Fang of a Fire Dragon!"
"The sword horn of the fire dragon!"
Three consecutive attacks, each one stronger than the last. Mira blocked with three punches in a row. Although she blocked all of them, she was directly knocked back several meters by Natsu's headbutt in the last one, and her feet left two scratches on the ground.
But Mira still did not show any sign of difficulty. The original Ice Demon King had high defense, high health, strong magic attack, fierce physical attack, and fast recovery, but poor mental strength. After being taken over by Mira, this weakness was eliminated, and he was no longer a boss that could be easily controlled.
Natsu's eyes shone, and he rushed towards Mira's body, ready to continue the attack: "Fire Dragon's..."
"A sudden surge of torrents!"
Mira stretched out her right hand, activated her magic power, and activated water-attribute magic. The magic performed with the power of the devil was natural and perfect. A stream of water rose up and hit Natsu's face from under his feet.
"not good!"
Natsu stomped his flip-flops on the ground hard, immediately curbing his forward momentum and narrowly avoiding a stream of water that seemed only as thick as a bowl. The water jetted upwards, brushing against his face, leaving a few strands of cherry-colored hair along the way.
“That was a close call…”
"Water tornado!"
Mira continued to attack, and a blue magic circle flashed in front of her. An oriental dragon made of water flew out of it. The dragon was mighty and its shape was vivid. The dragon spun in the air and turned into a sharp tornado water blade that fell from the sky and attacked Natsu's body.
Natsu looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and sucked the fire into his stomach. The surging magic power made his stomach swell up instantly . Then he opened his mouth and roared at the Sea Dragon Blade: "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
A huge pillar of fire rushed out of Natsu's mouth, and the water and flames met in the air, canceling each other out, but soon the fire gained the upper hand and evaporated the water dragon, while attacking Mira's direction.
Mira also inhaled, adding her own magic power to the devil's advanced magic, "Frost Breath!"
boom!
The fire cannon and frost breath were equally powerful and exploded in the air, creating a violent whirlwind.
Mira continued to release her magic power, and the pale white cloud formed into head-sized shells that spread across the entire arena: "Cloud Shells!"
"That's the same move..." The scene before him reminded Natsu of his battle with the Cloud Demon Klaue, "The same move doesn't work on me!"
Bang!
Natsu clapped his palms together, merging the flames in his left and right hands. The two flames of the same origin instantly merged to form a more powerful attack: "Fire Dragon's...Brilliant Flame!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huang Yan ignited the cloud and mist shells, and in a chain reaction, the originally stable shells all exploded, and the roar resounded through the air. The wind pressure at this moment was even greater than before, and the strong wind blew up the dust and blew it in all directions, and it gradually stopped when it reached the audience stands. This was because of the defense facilities built in front of the audience stands.
This was beyond the expectations of all the spectators. The audience cheered, their blood boiled, and they kept shouting.
The fire mode consumes a lot of magic power. Natsu fought with Mira for a long time in this mode and used several powerful moves in succession. His magic power was about to run out, so he decided to use his last move.
"Dragon-killing Secret..."
Hearing Natsu's voice, Mira knew that the next move was the last one, so without hesitation, she released most of the remaining magic power and used the strongest move in this form.
"Ice Age!!"
“Red Lotus Blade!!”
