Chapter 549: Frustrated as soon as he appeared
sense of security!
This was the first time that Lucy felt such a strong sense of security from Talos!
That tall stature, those strong back muscles, those biceps full of explosive power all look so charming at this moment.
“Hehe… You’re such a reliable companion, Talos!!”
"Lucy-sama~"
After only two seconds of showing off, Talos showed his true colors again because of Lucy's compliment. His eyes turned into red hearts, his fingers were clenched, and he moved his body in front of Lucy and twisted around.
Lucy: “…”
I was so blind just now that I actually thought Talos was handsome... It's all because of those people in the guild who kept asking me when I would get married to Natsu. That made me so easily imaginative! Wake up, Lucy! That's a minotaur, not Natsu!
Thinking of this, Lucy couldn't help but look back, only to see that Natsu had just been knocked away by the mechanical doll, and half of his body was now stuck in the wall, with only the other half left struggling hard in the room.
“…”
"No...the ones here aren't much better..."
On this side, the battle between Taros and the mechanical nesting doll has begun.
Thanks to the growth of Lucy's magic power, Talos is now much stronger than before. Intent on showing off, he shouted, raised the double-edged axe in his hand and rushed forward.
“Moo!!”
The axe whistled, its sound deafening like thunder breaking a dream, and its force was unmatched like a crushing force. The powerful force rolled up the metal parts scattered on the ground around it, and the invisible wind blade alone was enough to cut through ordinary iron blocks.
“Amazing!!”
“I’ve really gotten stronger!!”
Happy and Lucy exclaimed at the same time, they didn't expect that Talos could launch such a powerful attack.
Just before the giant axe was about to strike, the mechanical doll moved.
It didn't stand there stupidly like before, but burst out with a speed even faster than before, so fast that Lucy and Happy couldn't react, and even Talos couldn't see it clearly.
"Gone?!" Talos was surprised when his attack failed, and he felt it was even more difficult.
As a Taurus star spirit representing power in the zodiac, he focused almost all his strength on strength. As a result, his speed naturally slowed down. It was normal for him to not be able to keep up with the hard and fast lump of iron opposite him.
Bang !
The evolved mechanical nesting doll does not even leave an afterimage when moving. It just flashes from one end to the other, as if crossing the space, leaving only a slight sound of air explosion.
"Damn it! Where is it?!"
Talos held the giant axe tightly in both hands, looking around vigilantly with a serious look, but the mechanical dolls did not stay for long each time they appeared, and disappeared again almost instantly, so he could never capture the opponent's position.
Whoosh whoosh——!!
After two powerful swings, all his attacks missed as expected, and Talos became increasingly uneasy.
He had been in the Celestial Realm for so long, and had finally become stronger and taken the initiative to open the door to save Lucy. It was such a cool debut, but was he going to fail so soon?
No! For the sake of the reputation of the Taurus Star Spirit, I, Talos, cannot be...
BANG!!!
Before Talos could finish his voiceover, he was knocked away by a thrust from the mechanical doll. The speed and weight transformed into a terrifying kinetic energy.
“Aa ...
Talos felt that his internal organs were shaking violently, and he couldn't help coughing up two puddles of blood.
"Talos!!" Seeing this scene, Lucy instantly became anxious and hurried over to check the injuries.
"I...I'm fine...Miss Lucy!"
It's over. I got humiliated right after my debut. My image will be greatly damaged...
Talos got up from the ground again, worried about his future favor (although it was almost zero), but more importantly, he felt powerless for Lucy's safety.
"Ahem... its speed is too much for me. Miss Lucy, please let Lord Leo come out..."
What on earth are you doing here? ! ! !
Realizing that Talos was not seriously injured, Lucy couldn't help but roar inwardly, and then sent him back speechlessly: "I know, you go back and recover first!"
"Then... come out, Leo!"
Ding Dong——!
Wearing a black suit, short orange hair, and a pair of light-colored sunglasses, his handsome face is not as handsome as Kira, but he is also one in a million. With the opening of the Celestial Gate, the strongest celestial spirit in the zodiac, Leo, makes a shining appearance!
"Princess, your knight is here!!"
As soon as he appeared, Leo came up to Lucy and asked for a hug and hand holding, even boldly sneaking around (sneak is a verb).
"Yes... yes... let's deal with the enemy in front of us first..."
Lucy, who had long been accustomed to Leo's personality, controlled her temper, slapped Leo's hand away, and coaxed the lion like a cat.
After receiving Lucy's order, Leo's eyes turned into pink hearts, and at the same time, he was very energetic and his expression was extremely mean: "Yes, sir!!"
As if it understood the conversation between the two, the mechanical doll moved again. Its speed, which was almost like flashing, was simply dazzling. However, Leo was worthy of being the strongest star spirit in the zodiac. After observing for a few seconds, he took action.
"Lion's Glory!!"
With a light shout, Leo clenched his fists and made a cross in front of him with his slender but actually powerful arms. At the same time, magic power surged out wildly and a golden magic circle appeared under his feet.
Now Leo's strength has greatly increased compared to before, and the [Lion Shine] he uses is also stronger. The most intuitive manifestation is that the magic circle is larger and the golden flash is brighter.
This move, in addition to being able to illuminate with the power of the stars, can also be used as an amplification technique. Leo, whose strength has already greatly increased, is amplified again, and his confidence immediately increases, making him more confident in defeating the enemy!
"Wait a moment, Lucy! I can help you deal with enemies of this level more quickly!"
Huh?! Why does this sound so familiar? Oh, by the way, Talos said it a minute ago, and Natsu said it three minutes ago, but they couldn't last more than two moves! Can you?
Lucy looked at Leo with a little more doubt in her eyes.
Leo didn't notice Lucy's gaze, but was immersed in the fantasy of Lucy throwing herself at him after he defeated her enemy: "After this is over, would you consider going on a date with me?"
“I don’t want to!!”
Even if his request is rejected, Leo will still fight for the contractor. This is the agreement that he must abide by as a star spirit. Of course, Leo himself is not a person who likes to take advantage of others' misfortunes. He would not say to Lucy, "You don't want others to know that you lost to a mechanical doll, do you?"
In order to cooperate with Leo to deal with the enemy in front of him, Lucy was not idle either. She turned on the dress-up mode: "Star Spirit Clothes·Leo Form!"
The Lion Star Spirit's dress is a black strapless off-shoulder dress with a wavy hem that falls below the knees. It is tied with a golden belt in the middle and has high slits on the sides, revealing her fleshy long legs. She wears a pair of black straight-in high heels on her feet. She looks noble and elegant overall, and it's no exaggeration to say that she is a princess.
Watching this scene, Leo couldn't help but feel proud: "As expected...Lucy is the most beautiful when she uses my power!!"
boom!!
A slight sound of breaking air interrupted Leo's wandering thoughts.
"Watch out! It's coming!"
Maybe it was because of the flirtatious pre-war chat between the two that stimulated the mechanical nesting doll, but it sped up again, and the explosion underneath blasted with a loud bang, and its body blasted towards the two like a giant cannon.
His eyes captured the opponent's position, his body slightly adjusted, the magic power in his hands quickly condensed into shape, and with the addition of the power of the ever-shining Leo star in the Star Spirit Realm, Leo shouted loudly and punched hard at the attacking steel doll. Under the effect of magic, the swung fist condensed into a roaring golden lion.
At the same time, Lucy also mobilized her magic power, using the Star Spirit Clothes as a medium to use Leo's magic. A powerful and perfect kick followed the roaring lion and hit the steel cannon head-on.
