Chapter 65: Hard Fight
Taurus, Virgo, and Cancer are all celestial spirits that use physical attacks, so they are useless in this kind of battle. There is plenty of water here to summon Aquarius, but the opponent is an intangible cloud, so even if the attack is successful, it will be ineffective.
As soon as the battle started, Natsu faced the person who looked like a little girl on the opposite side, while Lucy, with the help of Happy, faced dozens of giant wolves alone, which almost scared her to death.
Fortunately, Taurus was still very powerful. The cow's giant axe was stronger than the last, almost killing one wolf with one axe, and two axes made a pair. He quickly wiped out the wolves. Although he was injured during the process, he still insisted on fighting to the end before returning to the Star Spirit Realm to rest.
After this was over, Happy went to help Natsu, while Lucy hid away, resting and observing Claude's magic.
Unfortunately, after observing for a long time, she still couldn't find the key to victory.
"Even if my magic has flaws, you can't win, kid!" Claude was full of confidence. "The terrain here naturally restrains your fire magic, but it has a bonus to my magic. The more you attack, the more water vapor there will be around, and the more clouds I can control. There is no way you can defeat me."
"Hehe..." Natsu laughed, "Although my attacks are ineffective against you, your cloud will be evaporated by my fire. If you want to hit me, you must materialize. Then I can hit you!"
Klaue didn't expect this fire guy to speak so coherently, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong with this guy? He looks like a hot-blooded fool, but his brain is surprisingly good!"
"Unfortunately, you are still too naive. You don't think that I can only fight when I'm close to you?" Claue grinned and sneered, stretching his hands forward, sending out a large white cloud that looked very thick, surrounding Natsu and Happy.
"No matter how many times this thing comes, I will evaporate it!" Natsu shouted, flames swirling on his body, but facing the white clouds in front of him, the Fire Dragon Flame failed for the first time.
"Natsu?!" Happy looked at Natsu in surprise.
"Idiot, I told you your attack is ineffective!" Crowley proudly put his hands on his hips, "The water content in the sea cloud is dozens of times that of the previous cloud. It's impossible to evaporate it with just your level of fire."
"Damn! What is this thing?!" The sea clouds in front of him were heavier and contained more moisture. Ordinary flames could not burn it. Natsu could only let Happy take him back to avoid it.
The cloud has form but is invisible, cannot be caught and cannot be burned. It is different from all of Natsu’s previous enemies. Facing such a tough opponent for the first time, Natsu is helpless in the short term.
Although the sea cloud was moving slowly, it tightly . Whenever the man took a step back, it would take a step forward; if it moved upward, it would also fly upward, not giving Natsu any chance to react. The heavy sea cloud was like a cage, tightly closing in, completely restricting the movements of Natsu and Happy.
At this time, Claude used another trick: "Rope Cloud!"
The surrounding clouds gathered together to form strong strings that bound Natsu and Happy tightly.
"Ah, I can't move!"
"Damn it! Let me go!"
"Fire Dragon's Flame!" Natsu burst out his magic power again, trying to burn the water cloud rope with a higher temperature flame, but the effect was not ideal.
"Go to hell!" Klaue shouted and was about to use his killing move.
Seeing that Natsu was in danger, Lucy no longer hesitated and took out the Aquarius key to open the door: "They are all water-attributed magic, I hope they will work. Please, Aqua!"
The door opened, and Aquarius, the star spirit with a human head and a fish body, appeared, holding a water bottle.
The star spirit Aqua is a blue mermaid with long sea-blue hair, a blue body, and a blue water bottle as a weapon. After coming out, she looked at Claude, whose half body turned into clouds and floated in the air, and said with disdain: "Demon?"
Although she had guessed it in her heart, Lucy was still a little surprised when she heard Aqua's words. But she didn't have time to think too much at this time: "Hurry up and save Natsu and Happy."
"Don't order me around!" Aquia had a bad temper, and a large part of Lucy's unknown character was brought out by her.
The water bottle was raised, the water waves surged, and the water column swirled out, rushing Natsu and the enemy towards the cliff regardless of anything.
Among all the golden spirits, Aqua is the strongest. Apart from Leo, who is clearly the strongest, Capricorn and Scorpio are the only ones who can compare with her. In the entire Fairy Tail series, there are only a handful of magicians who are more proficient in water magic than this spirit.
The water tornado blew Natsu and Happy far away. Due to the dual interference of magic and physics, the cloud ropes bound to them were assimilated into water, and they were all hit against the cliff under the strong water flow.
"What?!" Claude was surprised by the appearance of Aquia.
Natsu said dizzily after he jumped up. He didn't mean to complain about Aqua. Instead, he was very grateful to her for saving him: "Finally it's untied. Thanks Lucy!"
Everyone knows that magic is needed to defeat magic.
Lucy's action naturally attracted the attention of her opponent: "You actually used a powerful water magic to cancel out my water cloud?"
Claude in the air only then noticed the woman whom he had ignored before. Although he was surprised, his expression remained calm: "I originally thought you were a weak woman and wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you to have such ability. You are a Celestial Mage, right?"
Lucy looked at Claude nervously . She knew she couldn't beat this opponent, so she could only ask...
Um?
"Aquia?" Lucy tried to call out.
Where is the person? He was here just now! How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
[I'm dating my boyfriend now ! Don't bother me if it's not important! ]
Feeling the news from Aqua from the Spirit World, Lucy's forehead was covered in sweat. She had no choice but to hide again.
"What's wrong? Isn't that Celestial Mage coming with us?" Klaue asked in the air.
"I'm enough to deal with you by myself!" Natsu didn't feel embarrassed at all about being trapped. Instead, he had a confident smile on his face.
Just when Natsu was rekindled and ready for a second round with Claude, the surroundings suddenly darkened. Looking up, he saw that the sky was covered by a shadow, and then a white figure fell from the sky!
The pure white attire showed his holiness. The only difference from the color of his whole body was the fiery red short hair. Although it was abrupt, it undoubtedly made him look more powerful. The twelve wings spread out behind him blocked the already scarce sunlight. With countless feathers falling softly like snowflakes, the person in front of him was like an angel descending to earth, slowly landing on the battlefield.
"Kira?!" Although he changed his clothes, Natsu recognized him immediately just by smell. "Why are you here?"
"Natsu, Happy, Lucy, you really went too far this time!"
"Are they here to take us back?"
Seeing Kira coming, Lucy felt safe all of a sudden and took a picture from a distance. She and Natsu had violated the guild's rules to accept the mission, so it was normal for someone to come and capture them, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
