Chapter 462: Wendy's Distress
When the light faded and Erza and Laxus reappeared in the square, all the spectators were shocked and discussions ensued.
“Draw… draw?!”
"Hey, hey... is this true? Erza and Laxus actually tied?!"
"What the hell is going on!!"
Among the audience who were surprised, astonished, unwilling and had endless aftertaste, there was one person who was completely different. A look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
“Win or lose, it all counts, hahahaha… the dealer is going to make a fortune this time!!”
His name is Disper.
Regarding the handicap set for this competition, he and Kira participated in the event and became half a banker.
Among the 24 contestants, less than half of them are wizards who are the focus of attention, and Erza and Laxus are the most popular ones.
There are only four possible outcomes of the battle between the two: Erza wins, Laxus wins, draw, or no result.
The last type includes both no fight and fight but no winner.
Because the strength of Laxus and Erza is obvious to all, and everyone in the guild is also very familiar with their personalities, they know that once the fight starts, they will not stop unless something unexpected happens.
Considering the game mechanism, many people voted for "no result", and those who believed that Laxus would win ranked second. Tie was the least bet.
"All players, please note that the safety zone of the competition venue has been updated. Please open the small map attached to the bracelet to check. If you are in the danger zone for more than ten minutes, you will automatically be disqualified from the competition!"
Makarov's voice rang out again in the arena. The harsh punishment mechanism that came to their ears made the few remaining contestants stunned for a moment, and they all stopped what they were doing.
What? Can't stay in the danger zone for more than ten minutes?
Kira and Gildarts tacitly withdrew their magic and opened the small map to check as Makarov said.
"The safe area is in the middle of the entire arena... It looks like we can't stay here for long!"
The Mechanical Maze eliminated Elfman, Lisanna, Bigusro, Lili, and Arzak; the Poisonous Quagmire eliminated ; the Ghost Cemetery eliminated Laxus, Erza, Cana, Lucy, and Marcus; and the Iron Forest eliminated Gajeel.
All the places where contestants have been eliminated have become dangerous areas. The only safe areas left are the Great Desert, Lava Volcano, Ice Realm and Gravity Field. And these are not all of these four areas, but only a part of them. The entire safe area is in the shape of a vertical rectangle.
"What? Do you want to stop for a while?"
Gildarts scratched his head and glanced at Kira opposite him. He was in good condition, but his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue. It seemed that the battle with Kira was a bit too much for this elderly man.
Kira glanced at Gildarts and said softly, "Of course! A battle should be fought without restraint. We can only stay here for another ten minutes. I don't think we can decide the winner in such a short time."
If you look down from above, you will find that there is a hole suddenly appearing in the middle of the mechanical maze. There is nothing inside, just like a small area erased with an eraser on a piece of paper that has been blackened by a pencil. It is out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Unlike the battlefield left after the battle between Laxus and Erza , the Ghost Tomb can only be regarded as a ruin. Although it is in a mess, there are still stones, tombstones and other things, but there is nothing here.
This was mainly due to Gildarts's pulverizing of matter into foam, and the destruction of Kira's Annihilation.
"Let's go first!" Kira casually said, cast wing magic, turned around and flew towards the safe area.
Watching the figure gradually going away, Gildarts sighed heavily: "Really... He fights when he says he wants to fight, and leaves when he says he wants to leave. This kid is really casual..."
…
The gravity field is located in the lower middle of the minimap. Its left, top, and right sides are connected to the poisonous mire, ice realm, and iron jungle respectively. It is located in the south of the arena.
This area has an extremely chaotic gravity field, with different degrees of gravity and buoyancy interlaced. People may be able to walk normally in the previous position, but the next step may be like a huge mountain pressing down on their heads, making it difficult to move, or they may be suspended in the air due to low gravity.
At this time, a thin figure with two ponytails walked in.
"I didn't expect Erza-san would be eliminated. Did she run into Kira or Gildarts? I have to meet up with Charlu first. The map indicates that she is here, but...how can I find her?"
Wendy frowned slightly, turned her little head, and looked around with a pair of innocent eyes with vigilance. What she saw was countless stones of different sizes floating quietly in the air, revealing order in the chaos.
"Anyway, let's go forward and take a look!"
Having made up her mind, Wendy raised her legs and moved forward. However, after taking a few steps, she felt a heavy pressure falling on her, which directly pressed her down.
"What?! It's so heavy..."
"Could it be that Xia Lulu just can't get rid of the gravity here, so she hasn't moved?"
"No...No! I have to go help her!"
The battle with Felide just now consumed a lot of Wendy's magic power, and her physical strength was almost exhausted. The gravity in front of her was unusual, and there was an unknown trap. She was not sure of her safety at all.
Fortunately, the chaotic gravity field is not just aimed at her, but at everyone!
Fortunately, she can also add magic!
"Additional: Galloping Wind!" White magic power flowed and attached to the small body.
Normally, the Galloping Wind BUFF is used in combat to increase the speed of yourself or your teammates, but in fact, its principle is to change the gravity of the target, so it is unexpectedly effective here.
As soon as the magic took effect, Wendy felt her body instantly lighten, and the heavy force like a mountain that was originally pressing on her was also mostly eliminated.
Wendy stood up again and used her two soft little hands to carefully pat her skirt that was stained by dust. "Very good! It seems that the Galloping Wind has a miraculous effect on the gravity field here."
In this way, can't I walk around here with my head held high?
Wendy suddenly felt happy, a slight curve appeared on the corner of her mouth, an excited and happy smile was revealed on her face, and her steps became lighter.
Recently, Wendy found that her mentality was becoming more and more inflated, but the problem was definitely not with her. She must have been led astray by her brothers, sisters, uncles and grandfathers in the guild.
After all, what can a 13 or 14-year-old girl understand? Even if there is a mistake, it is someone else's fault! As the saying goes, "A red plum is red, a black plum is black." How can a well-behaved, simple and kind girl stay out of the big dye vat?
However, although her mentality was inflated, her chest was not inflated, which made Wendy very distressed. Because she had accidentally heard in daily chats that many women in the guild had already reached a considerable size at her current age.
Especially Erza and Mira!
She had heard Kira talk about this before. It seemed that the higher the quality of a wizard's magic power, the more magic power in the body, and the faster the body developed.
Needless to say, Erza and Mira's talents are very talented. They have been strong since childhood, and it is completely normal for them to develop quickly. As for Lucy, Cana, Bisca and others, although they are not as good as these two, they are all gifted. Even the youngest, Levi, is a B-class wizard at this age.
(Lebi: What do you mean even if it’s Lebi?? The younger you mentioned is definitely the age, right?!!)
She was so young, but she inevitably had chest anxiety. This was all the fault of this world! Especially her guildmates, they gave her too much stimulation!
Relying on the galloping wind, Wendy moved forward rapidly in the gravity turbulence. Although she was blown away a few times due to the huge changes in gravity, she cleverly resolved them all.
The little feet in cloth shoes stepped lightly on the floating stones and continued to fly with a little help. It really looked like a little elf playing in the flowers.
Just as she reached the center of the gravity field, a familiar voice was heard.
"Wendy! Wendy! Help me..."
Wendy looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar blue cat trapped between two huge rocks in mid-air, unable to move.
