Chapter 452: It's Over, We've Lost Our Spot
After completely crushing the gravity that was pressing on him, Gildarts rubbed his neck and smiled approvingly on his face.
"You've grown a lot, kid!"
"Isn't that a matter of course?"
Kira snorted hot air arrogantly from his nostrils, and his right hand turned into a claw. Without giving Gildarts a chance to react, the next attack followed: "Elemental Net!!"
Gildarts was stunned. His extraordinary perception and rich combat experience allowed him to immediately capture the changes in the magic around him.
In the sight, platinum-colored magic power gathered towards a point frantically, and formed a huge fireball in the blink of an eye. The fireball was thrown towards Gildarts, and as magic power continued to be injected, the color changed from fiery red to orange.
The heat wave was as hot as the sun, and even Gildarts was sweating profusely. "This kid is really merciless..."
He did not dare to be careless. He stared at the growing fireball with his eyes. He enveloped it with his mental power and did not miss any changes in the magic power. He used both methods to firmly lock the trajectory of the fireball.
"But... I'm still too young!" Gildarts' eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain quickly performed a magical analysis of the fireball in front of him. The answer he came to was that he was capable of taking this move!
But before he could make a move, changes occurred again!
Sharp wind blades and flashing thunder appeared in front of Gildarts on both sides in a similar way to the fireballs, and also attacked Gildarts' position, with power no weaker than the former.
The three magic spells were getting closer and closer, merging together in mid-air.
At this moment, the three elements of wind, fire and thunder are no longer distinguishable from each other. They are like three fighting partners with years of tacit understanding. With the fusion of magic power, they cast a super powerful magic that adds to each other!
After merging with wind and thunder, the air currents driven by the flames in the surroundings became more violent, the breeze turned into a hurricane, and the lightning turned into a thunderstorm, which rolled up the rocks, iron chains and other materials that fell on the surrounding area after the floor was lifted up, and spiraled towards the target with a whistling sound.
"Really?!"
"OMG!!"
“Amazing!!!”
"Is this Kira's strength?!"
In the square, on the crystal screen, Kira's figure at this moment was like a god controlling the sun. The dazzling fireball made him look as sacred as the sun god.
The audience's shouts were overwhelming. This terrifying fire magic was completely incomparable to the fire controlled by Natsu who was fighting with Gray in another scene.
Even though Natsu can eat fire, it does not affect the audience's impression that "he is not as good as Kira".
"How terrible!" Gildarts sighed, adjusted his posture slightly, stretched out his right hand, and planned to cast a crushing magic to disperse the wave of fire.
But at this moment, something strange happened again!
Kira chuckled: "Will I let you hit me so easily?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flame frenzy suddenly shrank. The raging whirlwind, violent flames, and earth-shaking thunder were compressed at the same time, gathering the originally restless energy into long, thin golden-red ropes of fire. The ropes of fire were intertwined and woven into a large net, which greatly reduced the impact of the shattering magic.
In the audience, a weathered but upright figure quietly watched everything on the screen.
He had long white hair and a long white beard on his chin. He wore a thin soft armor and held a wooden magic wand. He had an eye patch on his right eye, and his open left eye revealed a hint of scrutiny.
"It seems like he has become stronger this year..."
If Kira were here, he would be able to recognize the old man's identity at a glance. He was Hades, Preshito, who was almost defeated in Tenrou Island a year ago, but was finally spared and survived.
Next to Preshito, there were two figures standing, one fat and one thin. Both were remnants of the "Seven Families of Purgatory". The fat one was Hua Yuan, and the thin one was Lastiros.
At this time, Lastiros also set his eyes on the screen in the air, but he was not looking at Kira and Gildarts, but at Felide who was being beaten by Wendy.
A year ago, he and Philid were evenly matched, but now he is being beaten by a little girl. Doesn't this mean that he is not as good as this little girl?
Although the 'Seven Dependents' were a thing of the past, the pride in his heart had not diminished in the slightest.
"Let's find a time to fight him again..."
"What a great hiss!!"
On the other hand, Hua Yuan did not have the mentality of a strong man like Lastiros. Instead, he naturally blended in with the other spectators around him, watching Kira and Gildarts fighting on the screen with excitement.
Ever since the 'Devil's Heart' was killed to pieces on Sirius Island, Preshito completely lost his ambition to be a hero, gave up the guild, retired from the world and focused on his retirement.
As for the two subordinates, since they had nowhere to go, they naturally continued to follow Preshito.
Over the past year, the three of them no longer participated in the affairs of the magic world, but they continued to pay attention to the developments of all parties. At the same time, they lived a relatively easy life relying on the funds they had saved before.
This time it happened to be Magnolia's harvest festival, and Fairy Tail had been promoting the tournament so much that Preshito naturally thought about coming back to take a look.
The purpose of Preshito's return, in addition to reminiscing about the past, was also to see Kira, the rookie. Unexpectedly, he would meet his old friend here.
"Walod? It's been a long time since we last met..."
Looking at Volod, who was sitting on the stage, dozing off with his eyes squinted, Preshito felt mixed emotions. After all, of the original founders of Fairy Tail, only the two of them were left.
"It looks like he can still live for a few more years..."
Volodymyr, who was dozing off and nodding his head, suddenly started to feel something. His extraordinary intuition made him vaguely feel that someone was watching him, and that this person was no simple person.
"Who's looking at me?" Volod scanned the audience one by one, but found no suspicious target. He immediately scratched his head in confusion, "Is it an illusion?"
In the mechanical maze, facing Kira's fire net, Gildarts did not dare to take it lightly and cast out the shattering magic, but facing the fire snake as flexible as a gossamer, the magic only exerted 20% to 30% of its power.
"This is really tricky..."
If you can't beat it, you can only hide.
Feeling the heat coming from the fire net, Gildarts had no doubt that he would be burned to ashes immediately if he was touched lightly. If he hadn't known that there was a protection mechanism in this arena, he would have really doubted that Kira wanted to inherit his savings of many years.
He took a step and retreated suddenly, but the next moment, he found that there was also a big net behind him!
Unlike the fire net in front of him, the net behind him was woven by the two elements of light and shadow. Gildarts's face changed drastically, because the net behind him appeared silently and was obviously very close to him, but he didn't even notice it.
"You kid... are so mean!"
Kira curled his lips and said, "It's already said that it's an elemental net, how can it be as simple as a fire net?"
"It seems that I have to give it my all..."
Gildarts' eyes rolled around, locking onto the two magic nets in front and behind. He shouted, and his cloak fluttered behind him. He urged on with magic power again, and a more powerful magic power than before instantly gathered in his hand, and then he pressed it hard on the ground.
Instantly, shattering magic soared into the sky, and endless energy erupted from Gildarts' body in all directions, blasting the two tight nets into pieces.
There was no sign of stopping after that. The shattering magic cut the ground, ceiling, rocks, chains, air, magic power and all other visible or invisible substances into neat cubes with him as the center.
boom!!!
The magical light obscured the vision, the earth overturned, and the maze collapsed.
Through the crystal screen, the audience could only see blurry images. The battle scenes flickered and there was a tendency for the Internet to be disconnected, which made people nervous.
Compared to them, Elfman and others who were at the core of the battlefield were even more miserable. They only felt an incomparable torrent of magic rushing towards them, and they could not resist it at all. They could only go with the flow like a piece of firewood floating on the sea and happened to encounter waves.
Suddenly, the powerful energy that was pressing on him dissipated, and even the noise in his ears disappeared completely. The surroundings returned to calm, the warm sunlight shone on him, and the ground under his feet no longer shook.
"It's over! I'm going to be eliminated! I don't think I'll get a spot in the S-level exam this year!"
This thought occurred to several people at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in the square. In front of them was the magic black ball that materialized the competition venue, and behind them were the audience who were still shouting.
Several people looked at each other, and then sighed at the same time.
"I knew that nothing good would happen if I met these two guys!!"
