Chapter 467 Gray: I want to know how strong I am now
The final battlefield is on the stone platform of the competition venue.
In the 24-person competition, the remaining contestants were either defeated by their opponents or lost their combat effectiveness due to the traps set in each area, so that now, only four people are here.
Confronted and alert, the eyes that wandered over the other three people revealed a strong sense of vigilance. Everyone was on high alert, concentrating all their attention, not daring to relax at all. The announcement that resounded throughout the venue let them know that the three people in front of them were their only remaining opponents .
A few minutes ago, when Kira appeared here, Natsu and Gray tacitly stopped what they were doing and began to recover their physical strength and magic power.
For the two who had used their full strength since the beginning of the game, continuing the fight was obviously not a good idea, because with Kira's personality, he might suddenly intervene.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long. At the last moment when the announcement was made, Gildarts also appeared.
"Only four of us?"
Kira frowned, as if he was surprised by the result. Then he set his eyes on Natsu and Gray and said lightly, "It's really beyond my expectation that you two can hold on until now..."
"Hahaha... don't say that! Natsu and Gray are also very strong!"
Gildarts laughed heartily, his tone filled with relief and admiration. That feeling was like an old father seeing his child grow up, full of pride.
Kira curled his lips unconsciously when he heard this: If it were in the past, Kana would have cried to death in the wine barrel after hearing this...
"I think they might have been here since they entered the game, and just happened to survive..."
"Well……"
Compared to the light-heartedness and humor of these two, Natsu and Gray appear much more serious. After all, their opponents now are no longer each other, but Killer and Gildarts. If a real fight breaks out, no one knows how long they can last.
"Natsu, given the current situation...how about we join forces first?"
Gray looked at Kira, who was intact, and then at Gildarts, whose breath was stable. He guessed that the two had not consumed much energy at all. Even if they had, they were in no state that he or Natsu could beat them. Only by joining forces would there be a slight chance of winning.
but……
"No! I want to fight alone!"
Natsu touched his hands together, and his magic turned into flames and burned fiercely. "I've been looking forward to having a serious fight with Gildarts and Killer for a long time!!"
Gray immediately became anxious upon hearing this and shouted, "Idiot! How can you possibly win with your current strength?!"
Unfortunately, no matter how earnestly Gray advised, Natsu just covered his ears and refused to listen. In the end, he even smiled excitedly and said, "Anyway, I just don't want it! All three of you are my opponents!!"
After saying that, he left Gray and rushed towards Gildarts angrily.
"I will defeat Gildarts, and I will leave Kira to you!!"
"Wait!! Damn it... Natsu, you idiot!!"
Gray cursed helplessly, then looked in the direction of Kira and Gildarts respectively, not knowing which direction to attack for a moment.
“Drink, drink, drink!!!”
The roar was like a dragon's roar, and in the rolling flames, the power to destroy the dragon was rampant.
"The last time we fought was on Sirius Island..."
Looking at Natsu leaning forward with his fist raised and rushing towards him, Gildarts couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, "Let me see how much you've grown in the past year, Natsu!"
BANG!!
With a dull thud, a powerful fist landed on Gildarts' palm. As the magic power collided, the erupting flames covered the sky and occupied the entire vision of both men.
“It’s not over yet!!”
Natsu roared and his magic power increased again. Even more astonishing flames gushed out of his body continuously, as if a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years had erupted again. The horrible heat evaporated the lake dozens of meters away, and even the rocks under his feet began to melt.
Gildarts was shocked when he felt the heat coming from his hand, which was much higher than before. His eyes widened in vain, and another powerful magic power burst out from his body to collide with it.
The shattering magic instantly cut the flames apart, but even so, Gildarts was still knocked back several meters by the huge force, and his feet left two deep drag marks on the ground.
Recalling the assessment on Sirius Island a year ago, Natsu had to spend a lot of effort to make Gildarts take a step back, but now, he only needs one punch. Such progress makes Gildarts feel a lot of emotion.
"Huh~ Really... young people nowadays are so scary!!"
…
"What a terrifying flame! It can even melt the rocks..."
"He was able to defeat Gildarts... When did Natsu become so powerful?!"
"Gildarts is still strong! He is unharmed at such a close distance!!"
Now that there is only one battlefield left in the competition, the thousands of spectators and the eliminated contestants naturally all focused their attention on it, and the topics of discussion became more focused.
"No! Not unscathed! Look there!"
Laxus' voice suddenly appeared, and the people nearby followed his gaze and saw a faint black .
"hiss……"
In an instant, the sound of people gasping for air came one after another.
…
"Oh~ That's pretty good, Natsu!"
The power of the fire dragon erupted from time to time, creating waves of overwhelming heat, which made Kira's hair dance constantly, making him look like another red-haired demon.
Kira couldn't remember how long it had been since he had a haircut, because ever since Lucy came to the guild, his haircut task had been given to Keisha, a Cancer. And because he had recently started the "Xia Lu CP craze" in the guild, Lucy had some words for him.
"Well, what do you say?"
"What else can we do? We can only fight!"
Gray walked towards Kira with his upper body naked. His angular eight-pack abs were very eye-catching because of the sweat. As he walked forward, his originally helpless eyes gradually turned into seriousness, and the magic power wrapped in a cold breath also surged out of his body.
Suddenly, Gray stopped and stood three meters in front of Kira, and then his magic power, which had reached its peak, surged again.
The demon-killing power with strange properties surged out of his body again, turning into a layer of black unknown substance that covered the right half of his body, first spreading to his chest, then his face, and finally reaching the ends of his hair. His black hair exploded upwards handsomely, and his whole temperament changed drastically.
Gray's face was stern. He raised his right hand in front of him, revealing the strange magic pattern on his forearm. "To be honest, I'm curious about how strong I am now."
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Kira clapped his hands several times and praised, "You're pretending well! I don't know how strong you are, but you're not as strong as me!"
“…”
Gray was speechless, knowing that continuing talking would be a waste of time, so he restrained his expression and moved forward!
Bang!
Gray collided his fists together, showing the standard posture of Uru's ice-shaping magic. Then his figure flashed and passed by Kira like lightning.
When he appeared again, he had a slender and sharp ice blade in his hand.
"Ice Demon Zero's Sword!!"
The perfect combination of Ice Demon-Destroying Magic and Ice Shaping Magic greatly enhances Gray's combat capabilities. The weapons created in this state are more stable, harder, colder, and sharper than those created with his own magic power.
"Hit it!!" Feeling the touch of the blade, Gray looked overjoyed.
Since learning the Ice Demon-Exterminating Technique, Gray has practiced it thousands of times. Not only are his movements skillful, but he also controls the power to the finest detail. He is confident that even someone as strong as Kira would not be in any better shape after being hit by this knife.
However, just as Gray relaxed, Kira's voice appeared again: "Hit? What are you talking about?"
What?!
Gray was shocked and looked in the direction of the sound, and found that Kira was completely unharmed. Not to mention the ice that would appear after being hit by the blade, there was not even a grain of ice . But the most important thing was that he was actually standing in front of him!
Didn't I jump over him and still hit him?
What is going on? !
