Chapter 605: Natsu is really good...
“It hurts…”
Natsu got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, and then rubbed stomach that was hit, hissing twice, "You are so rude, Rocky!"
"I can't help it. You are Lucy's opponent now, so I can't show you mercy!"
Rocky smiled softly, raised his big sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to Natsu, "Don't worry! I will control my strength and won't leave any marks on your face."
"Leave a mark on my face?!"
Too arrogant!
Natsu blinked at first, then rushed forward with a roar: "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
He couldn't bear to hit Lucy, but he could hit Rocky without mercy!
The straight punch was flaming and swift, but Rocky was also a star spirit who had experienced many battles. The title of "The Strongest in the Zodiac" was not for nothing. He stepped back and dodged the flames.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!!"
After missing the first attack, Natsu took advantage of the situation and made another move. His arms formed wings with flames, and he raised up hot wind and chased after the enemy.
“Rocky!!”
Lucy showed an anxious look and immediately changed her clothes and cast a spell: "Star Spirit Clothes·Aqua·Water Flow Barrier!!"
With the magic of Aquarius added to her body, Lucy used Aqua's magic in return, and a stream of water appeared out of thin air, forming a spherical barrier to protect Loki and keep Natsu's flames outside the barrier.
“Blocked?!”
"Hydrological History!!"
With a delicate cry, Lucy released her magic power, creating a large water vortex on the ring. Natsu was caught off guard, and the flames on his body were extinguished by the water. Under the influence of the strong centrifugal force of the vortex, he was swept to the center of the water and seemed to have lost the power to resist.
Lucy was delighted: "Great..."
boom!!
Before he could finish his sentence, a huge column of fire erupted from the center of the water flow, evaporating all the water. In the flames, Natsu hugged his arms around him, his body as steady as a rock, and he was unharmed!
"Lucy, water and fire counteract each other. You can't use all of Aqua's power for now. You'll be at a disadvantage against Natsu using water magic! You should try using the power of other celestial spirits..."
Leo flashed over to Lucy and offered his suggestion.
"I understand!" Lucy nodded and took out the Star Spirit Key from her waist again, "Open it, Baluge!"
"Princess! Please give me your orders!!"
"Ah! It appears! It's the maid seat!"
"It should be Virgo!!"
The two strongest spirits appeared, Lucy's pressure was greatly reduced, but what about Natsu? Not only was Natsu not worried, but he became more eager to fight.
"Wow! I'm on fire!"
Natsu smiled happily, rushed forward with both hands, using fire fists and ham legs at the same time, punching Leo and kicking Baluge, and his speed was faster than before.
"If you summon both of us at the same time, Lucy's magic power won't last long. We must fight quickly!"
"Yes! Lord Leo!" Baluge followed the command and rushed forward with Leo on the left and right.
Both of them are masters of physical skills, and their close combat abilities are much stronger than other Protoss. In addition, Baruge also knows earth magic, and they were able to suppress Natsu in a short period of time.
"Is this true?! Natsu is at a disadvantage?!"
"Lu-chan is amazing..."
"Don't be too happy! Natsu didn't even use his full strength!"
Killer and the others saw Natsu's actions and attitude clearly, and it also did not escape the eyes of Happy and other companions who were familiar with his strength. It was estimated that only a few people with less combat experience such as Levy and Lisanna could not see it.
"Eh? Really? Why don't you use your full strength?"
Erza explained, "It's probably to conserve physical strength and magic power. Now we're only fighting Lucy, but we don't know how many people we'll have to fight later!"
"Oh yeah... Ehhh?? Wait! Natsu can actually use his brain?"
When a reckless man learns to use his brain, his fighting power will increase several times than before!
"…He's not really an idiot!"
From the beginning of this battle, Lucy didn't have much chance of winning. The gap between her and Natsu was too big, and she had no effective means to deal with him. But! She was determined to prove her strength!
"Sand storms!"
"Spica's Cave!!"
"Lion Star Attack!!"
The three of them used all their strength, and various changes and cooperation emerged one after another, which was so fancy that the people below were dazzled. Although the damage to Natsu was not very good, the visual effect was great, which really maximized the battle atmosphere.
Kira also thoughtfully played the "Fairy Tail Theme Song" as the BGM, which made the two star spirits on the stage fight more and more powerfully and more and more excited.
Facing the combined attack of three people, Natsu maintained his 'one trick to conquer them all' fighting mode from beginning to end, with flames entwining his body and flying up and down, doing some exercises to warm up, in preparation for possible battles with Gildarts, Gray and the others.
whoosh——!
After ten minutes of fighting, Natsu seemed to realize that Lucy's magic power was about to run out, so he did an extremely difficult aerial side flip to dodge the attacks from the front, right and bottom, and then suddenly burst out with magic power and punched the ground hard.
"Fire Dragon's Collapse Fist!!"
BANG!!
The heavy punch created flames that gushed out in all directions like a volcanic eruption. The strong impact knocked Leo and Baluge away at the same time, and they were sent back to the Star Spirit Realm before long.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
After the smoke and dust settled, Lucy was half-kneeling on the messy ground. Her straight, round and plump long legs could hardly stand up. She was sweating profusely, her wet blonde hair stuck to her neck, her snow-white skin was flushed pink due to the intense exercise, and her bright eyes seemed to be dripping with water as she looked up at Natsu who was walking towards her.
But at this moment, there was no loss in Lucy's eyes, but rather a sense of relief after a satisfying battle.
She had already used up all her strength, and her magic power was not enough to support her to continue summoning the celestial spirits, but Natsu did not seem to have consumed much, he was just breathing a little.
Natsu undoubtedly won this match.
Just as Lucy's eyes were filled with fatigue, Natsu stretched out his hand to her with a smile: "I'm so hungry~ Let's go eat, Lucy!"
Lucy seemed to have expected this. She let out a long breath, then placed her soft, white hand on Natsu's big hand, tilted her head and revealed a bright smile of relief.
"Um!"
"Ohhhh!! We're holding hands! We're holding hands!!"
"Natsu is really good at this. Lucy is destined to be eaten alive by him in this life..."
"Keep it up, Lucy! No matter what!"
“Hehehe…I have to work harder this time when I go back!!”
Listening to the booing from the crowd, Lucy's face turned black. She felt that these people's laughter was very inappropriate.
…
In the afternoon, the game continued.
After the battle between Natsu and Lucy, Lucy returned to the starting point, while Natsu continued to move forward. The middle stage had passed, and the candidates and supporters were approaching one after another.
Finally, not long after the restart, another group faced off, this time it was Gray and Brandish!
"First he fought with Dimalia, then with Brandish. Gray's luck in fighting women is really too good..."
Someone said something, and Juvia instantly became furious: "Nani?! Gray-sama fights with a woman?!"
Juvia's jealousy calculation formula: Gray and women fighting = Gray and women @! #￥ = Gray cheating
“Ahhhhhh!!! This is absolutely unforgivable!!”
"Really...what is this guy thinking about again..." Gray scratched his hair helplessly, turned away from the chess game, and walked towards another newly set up arena.
Juvia's entanglement always makes Gray feel entangled and conflicted, which troubles him a lot.
"Don't make that expression! You know, being tsundere may feel good for a while, but it will lead to a funeral procession! Why don't you try to reciprocate Juvia's feelings?"
Kira walked up and patted Gray on the shoulder. In his opinion, there were already some signs of Natsu and Lucy's relationship, so Gray and Juvia also had to hurry up!
Respond to Juvia's feelings?
Gray turned around thoughtfully, and immediately saw Juvia's white face, fiery eyes, and emotions that seemed to strike directly into his soul.
A shy blush quickly rose on Gray's face, and he turned and walked towards the ring.
"Stop... stop talking so much! "
Soon, Brandish and Gray stood on the ring. The former had dead eyes and shabby clothes, while the latter was full of fighting spirit and eager to try.
If there was one thing they had in common, it was that they were all scantily clad.
“This is truly a commendable attitude!”
Gildarts sighed, then a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "I should have gone to the Western Continent with you guys before!"
Everyone: “…”
