Chapter 604: Lucy beat Natsu away?!
The battle took place not on the chessboard, but on a specially built arena as a battlefield.
Natsu and Lucy went up to the ring and stood facing each other, their expressions unusually serious and earnest.
"Although according to the rules, it was Natsu who challenged Lucy, but unexpectedly, it was Lucy who took the initiative to declare war on Natsu in the end... This is truly a historical moment that deserves to be recorded!"
Kira took out the magic crystal that could record images and put it in place, ready to record the fight between the two.
For this fight, they paused the dice-rolling game and used dice to replace real people's positions. They all gathered around the ring and used magic to create several tables. They sat at each table like they were having a banquet and watched the fight.
It was lunch time, and we sat down and enjoyed the following: melon seeds, cola, beer, popcorn, fruit platter, and the barbecue and fish that we hadn’t finished eating in the past few days…
"Let's have lunch first!"
"Don't worry about us, just enjoy fighting until the last moment!"
There is food and drink, and fun to watch. If there is anything more exciting than this, it would be that it is a pity that I cannot go up and join the battle.
“Ehhhh?!! That’s too much!! Can you at least let us finish eating before fighting?!”
Smelling the aroma of barbecue wafting from the side, Lucy and Natsu, who had just stepped onto the ring, were drooling with greed. Then they touched their stomachs as they hadn't eaten for a long time, and they both felt dizzy.
They had been throwing dice all morning and they didn't have much strength left!
"How is that possible?! How can you eat before fighting?... Uh-huh... just... Uh-huh... just treat this as training! Yes, yes, that's the kind of training where you train for battle while hungry!"
Will you die if you don’t talk while eating?
Lucy glared at Kira and the others who "ate while sitting down without getting hungry", and her anger increased by +1+1...
"Ah! It appeared! The black resentment is pouring out of Lucy! She must be full of energy now!" Habby held the grilled fish in his paws, with a gloating look on his face, and no one knew where he got the courage from.
"You dead cat!!"
"Alright, alright...it's almost time to start the duel between Natsu and Lucy..." Makarov returned to his original size and presided over the situation from the chair, "You can come and rest after you finish the fight!"
"Yoshi, the battle begins!"
“Drink ahhhhh!!!”
The moment the battle was announced, Natsu rushed towards Lucy without hesitation, but his hands were not wrapped in flames as usual, probably because his opponent was Lucy.
"Talos!" Lucy had also thought of a countermeasure and summoned the Taurus star spirit in an instant.
Ordinary spirits are useless against Naz. There is no water here, so we can't summon any good spirits.
"Moo! I will protect Miss Lucy's victory!"
The male cow holding a huge axe, straightened his waist, showing his eight-pack abs, and appeared shouting Lucy's name.
As star spirits bound to wizards, Taros and other star spirits belonging to the twelve zodiac signs will occasionally sneak in when they are in the star spirit world... They will observe the situation of their masters, and once they find that their masters are in danger or in need, they will take the initiative to show up to save the situation. Leo and Baluge are examples of this.
Even if they are unaware of their master's danger, when they appear in Ascalante, they can identify the surrounding environment and enemies at first sight.
Apart from the two strongest and most mana-consuming Protoss mentioned above, so far, only Aquarius' Aquarius and Talos of Taurus have appeared on their own initiative, while the rest of the Protoss are hiding behind the scenes because they cannot help even if they show up.
"Ms. Lucy, just leave the battle to me! I am your most powerful bull!"
Talos turned his back to Lucy and gave her a thumbs up, showing his white teeth and speaking with confidence. However, when he turned around and saw his opponent clearly, his eyes almost popped out.
"My opponent this time is... Natsu-san?!"
At this moment, Talos felt that he had been deceived, and the faint resentment shifted from Lucy to him: "Ms. Lucy, are you holding a guild competition or something like that? Isn't it a bad idea for me to stay here? How about I first..."
"Don't leave!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to want to return to the Star Spirit World and not interfere with the assessment, Lucy quickly pulled Toros back and said, "I still need your help today!"
"Hmm? Miss Lucy needs me?!"
Talos instantly came out of his frustration. Since his master had said so, Niu Niu could only do as he was told. "Just fight! It's not like he hasn't been beaten away by Natsu-san before. What's the big deal?"
"...Although you are full of vigor, can you speak with more confidence?"
“Moo——!!!”
Talos roared and swung the huge axe across the air. Natsu's half-extended fist was immediately blocked by the axe, making a deafening sound.
clang!!!
A huge noise echoed across the entire mountain, and along with it was the conversation between Talos and Natsu.
"Hello again, Natsu-san!"
"It's Talos."
"I didn't expect Miss Lucy's opponent would be you..."
Apart from Leo and Baluge, Talos should be one of the celestial beings that Natsu has met the most times. "For Miss Lucy, I will not give in easily!"
"Then let's give it a try!"
Natsu sneezed after he finished speaking, and his magic power instantly turned into flames, creating a sea of fire on the ring.
“That’s amazing!”
Talos praised from the bottom of his heart, then pushed Natsu out with force with his hands - the reason why he summoned Taurus was because he had the greatest power.
When Talos blocked the punch for Lucy, Lucy had already changed into her outfit: "Star Spirit Clothes - Taurus Form."
He has a double bun hairstyle, a cow-colored outfit, pants that are long on one side and ankle-length on the other, a brown leather bag slung across his body, a white belt around his waist with a gold badge with a cow pattern on the middle, leather boots on his legs, sleeves, gloves, and forearm armor on his arms, and a cowboy whip in his hand.
Flames were flying around them, and the heat made Lucy and Talos sweat profusely.
"Quick battle, quick decision!" With a command, the two men stepped forward at the same time.
“Moo!!”
"Earth Vibration!!"
As Talos swung his axe, Lucy's extraordinary strength hit the ground at the same time, causing the ring to crack and a ravine to twist and turn and reach Natsu's feet.
Seeing two attacks coming from the left and right, up and down, Natsu calmly jumped to avoid the huge force from the ground, and dodged Taros's axe in a strange posture. At the same time, the inertia of his body rushing forward drove his arm, and he punched the opponent's big face with a heavy punch.
Boom! !
“Ahh——!” Talos screamed and flew backwards.
"I knew it would be like this..."
"This Talos is a loser!"
"You acted so cool just now, but you were still knocked away by just one punch..."
There was constant booing from the audience, but it did not affect Lucy's mentality. She did not look panicked at all, but instead her lips curled up slightly, as if she had expected this scene.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a golden light suddenly lit up in the air in front of her, and the light quickly turned into a black figure, who punched Natsu, who had just knocked Talos away and was still in mid-air, with a starlight punch! !
The orange-haired black figure, the tall stature, the handsome face, is none other than 'Princess Lucy's Eternal Knight' Leo!
Lucy had also flashed in front of Natsu. As Leo threw a punch, she leaned forward, raised her right leg high, gathered the power of Taurus, and unleashed a heavy kick that she had trained for a long time!
"Lion Charge!!"
"Lucy Flying Kick!!"
BANG!!!
A punch and a kick hit Natsu's stomach accurately. The two forces twisted his body into a "C" shape, and then he flew backwards heavily with an explosion in the air!
“Ehhhh??!!”
"Ohhhh there's a twist!!!"
"It's Rocky!!"
"Lucy knocked Natsu away?!"
"Great job, Lucy!!"
"Add chicken legs! I'll give you chicken legs later!"
Everyone stopped eating, shouted and cheered, congratulating Lucy for accomplishing such a feat.
