Fairy Tail: I've Been Guildmaster Starting 100 Years Ago
Chapter 352: FTG - 349: The Outcome Is Decided
(Fanfic is complete on P@treon)
"She... she actually hasn’t given up yet, she still wants to fight?"
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and their looks toward Erzi instantly became full of admiration. Had it been themselves placed in this situation, facing such an opponent, they probably would have surrendered long ago.
Loke was knocked unconscious and could not continue fighting, and there was no water on-site to summon Aquarius. With her two strongest Celestial Spirits sealed simultaneously, Erzi knew that if she wanted to defeat Mira, she had to think of another way.
But, what other way was there??
Cold sweat broke out drop by drop. Erzi’s concentration was highly focused and her brain was running at high speed, so tense that she could practically hear the sound of her own heart beating.
But how could Mira possibly give her time to think of a tactic??
Seeing Erzi escape her attack so "easily," Mira had already regarded her as an opponent on the same tier as Ultear. Thus, she decided to stop holding back and unleash her full-power strike.
"Hah..."
Mira hummed softly, simultaneously placing her hands in front of her chest in a clawing gesture. The surrounding magic power surged frantically, converging at her palms and continuously compressing inward, gradually condensing into a black magic orb.
The crowd below watching this scene could feel the surging power within this magic orb even from far away.
"Such strong magic power..."
"This, this, this... if this explodes, it could probably destroy the entire teaching building!"
"Is Mira actually this terrifying?"
"I heard the upperclassmen in the same grade as her get taken advantage of by her every day. Thinking about it, they are truly pitiful..."
Some were shocked, some were amazed, some felt lucky, and some looked as if they had recalled an unforgettable nightmare, shuddering on the spot.
"By the way, they’ve already fought to this extent, so why haven’t we seen any teachers from the academy step in to stop it??"
"I think I heard before that the Headmaster Grandma feels the Individual Combat Tournament of the school sports meet can only be considered minor squabbling. So, she specially told the teachers not to interfere and let us fully release our academic stress."
Minor squabbling?
Does she have some kind of misunderstanding about this term?
Hearing this answer, the students on-site felt immensely speechless.
Looking at it now, the teachers would not appear. Erzi... just pray for your own good fortune!
As more and more magic power was compressed, the magic orb in Mira’s hands began to tremble slightly. Everyone understood this was a sign that the magic compression had reached its critical point.
Sure enough, Mira quickly shifted her direction, her gaze tightly locked onto Erzi on the ground.
"Soul Extinction!!"
Accompanied by a long roar, the dark energy compressed to the absolute limit erupted outward like a dam releasing a flood, turning into a surging, earth-shaking black torrent that went straight for Erzi!!
Yet Erzi’s eyes were resolute as she pulled a key from her waist with a backhand motion.
"Libra!!"
The Libra Spirit, Libra, was a female with wheat-colored skin wearing an Egyptian style of dress and a veil over her face.
After Libra appeared, she began to dance on the spot, and the scales held in her hands swayed along with her.
This was certainly not because she loved dancing so much, but because this was precisely the necessary action for her to cast gravity magic!
The left-and-right swaying scales drove the surrounding space to begin oscillating.
Erzi only felt her body lighten and decisively jumped upward, leaping several meters high. The energy impact of "Soul Extinction" instantly missed.
The terrifying energy impact instantly blasted a huge pit into the arena. The ground exploded in response, with broken rocks and wild sand flying everywhere, and the dust rolled up several stories high. At the same time, it swept outward in all directions to over ten meters away, enveloping everyone watching this battle within it.
Some timid students buried their heads tightly against the ground one after another, their entire bodies shaking uncontrollably, deeply afraid that they would accidentally be caught in the aftermath and blasted to pieces.
Seeing Erzi leap into the air, Mira hurriedly raised her arms, shifting the offensive direction of "Soul Extinction."
The dark torrent instantly became like a thick, long whip, snapping upward from the ground, the energy blasting open a deep trench several meters wide and over ten meters long.
"Not good, Erzi can’t move in mid-air, she’s going to be blasted into dust this time!!"
Natsu, Gray, and Happy subconsciously screamed.
Cana, Brandish, and the others also watched Erzi in the air tensely, secretly breaking into a cold sweat for her, ready to support at any moment.
But in the next instant, another dazzling, radiant golden light erupted from Erzi’s body.
"Star Dress Fusion: Leo x Scorpio!!"
A gorgeous, noble, and trendy outfit that combined the characteristics of the Leo Star Dress and the Scorpio Star Dress appeared on Erzi.
"Star Dress... Fusion?!"
Hearing Erzi’s voice, everyone present was shocked and could not help but be stunned by her talent.
Just look at what she had displayed in this Individual Combat Tournament—
At such a young age, she achieved the Dual Summoning that most Celestial Spirit Wizards couldn’t even manage!!
Combining "Requip Magic," she created the "Star Dress" on top of the basic "Summoning Celestial Spirits" to condense the power of the spirits onto herself!
Now, she actually even unleashed the "Star Dress Fusion" that combined the power of multiple spirits together?!
Just what kind of heavenly talent was this?!
Erzi hovered in the air, perfectly blending her own magic power and the magic power of the two spirits together. Subsequently, she raised her right hand and blasted out a golden torrent mixed with Regulus light and a wild sandstorm!
"Regulus storm!!"
Loke, the Leo Spirit, specialized in light magic;
Scorpio, the Scorpio Spirit, specialized in sand magic;
Combining the two allowed the fusion of both Regulus light and wild sandstorm magics, and this was precisely the perfect bane of "Soul Extinction"!!
Rumble—!!
"Regulus storm" and "Soul Extinction" collided in the air!
One golden, one black—the two earth-shattering torrents instantly sliced the entire sky into two worlds, as if representing "Light" and "Darkness"!
The surrounding wild winds raged, and the scenery was utterly destroyed.
Students standing slightly closer were swept into the high air by this blast wave one after another, but their screams were drowned out by the explosions generated by the collision of the two magic torrents.
After the two energies stagnated in the air for nearly half a minute, the dark torrent began to lose its momentum, continuously pushed back by the golden torrent.
One meter, two meters, five meters...
The retreating distance grew more and more, and the retreating speed became faster and faster!
The next second.
Boom—!!
The dark torrent completely failed to hold its ground and was entirely swallowed by the golden torrent, along with Mira’s demon figure, which was also submerged within the golden light!
After the golden torrent continued to fly forward for dozens of meters, it finally exhausted its strength and faded away amidst a "fizzing" sound.
After the violent magic bombardment, the sky regained its tranquility.
Two figures rapidly fell from the air.
Natsu made the fastest move, being the first to rush onto the arena to catch the falling Erzi;
Elfman’s movements were not slow either, running with all his might to dozens of meters away, serving as Mira’s flesh cushion at the critical moment.
Both had fallen into unconsciousness due to depleted magic power, but one was still on the stage, while the other had already fallen outside. The outcome...
Was decided!
