Chapter 286: Fairy Tail's Strongest Wizard Duel (3rd update)
Fried's purpose in participating in the competition is to clear George, the obstacle for Laxus.
Even if he loses in the end, he can consume a lot of his magic power and reduce the burden for Laxus.
Although Laxus will definitely disdain him to do this, he must do it for Laxus. This is not cheating, but just a strategy.
"You are quite strong, let's start."
George nodded, raised his cat paw and hooked at Fried.
He didn't know much about Fried's magic. Not only did he not know, but other wizards in the guild didn't know much either, they only knew a rough idea.
Because the Thunder Gods, like Laxus, are relatively withdrawn and don't play with everyone.
George now only knows that Fried is proficient in spells and dark text magic.
He had seen the spells at the guild gate before, and they were indeed very powerful. He and Rebecca worked together to crack it for a long time before they cracked it.
As for the dark text, he saw Fried used it in the previous battle. It was to use the rapier to leave magic words such as "fear" and "pain" on the enemy, so that the enemy would become afraid and painful.
In this way, Fried could easily defeat the opponent who was affected by the dark text.
Fried's melee and sword skills were also very powerful.
However, considering that Fried was the leader of the Thunder Gods and had defeated S-class wizards many times, it was estimated that his methods were more than that.
"Taboo·Dark Text·Dark!"
Fried opened his big move directly and used the rapier to cast the dark text magic on himself.
The rich dark power entered his body through the dark text, and in the blink of an eye, his body changed from human form to a demon form with two horns on his head.
Physical strength and magic power increased significantly.
"Dark Text·Wings!"
Then, the second dark text was engraved on his body, and black energy wings stretched out from his back.
With a flash of his figure, he turned into a black light and attacked George.
"Interesting."
Seeing that word magic can be used in this way, George's eyes lit up.
The word magic he has been learning is similar to Rebecca's, using words to cast various magic effects.
Unexpectedly, he can cast word magic on himself and strengthen himself.
Sure enough, many magics in the library are just the basis of various magics. After learning these basics, truly powerful magicians will develop better according to their own situation.
Just like Erza developed ordinary dress-up magic into more powerful knight magic.
No wonder most magicians in this world only learn one kind of magic.
Because except for the real genius of the heavens, like Jellal, it is extremely difficult for ordinary magicians to develop a high-level use method of a magic.
"It's over!"
Just when Fred went around George and planned to launch a sneak attack, George's body suddenly expanded rapidly, from a palm-sized kitten to a giant beast of more than 30 meters.
Surrounded by electric light, the cat's claws slapped Fred, who was transformed into a demon, at lightning speed, like slapping a fly, and directly knocked him into the ground of the ring and fainted.
Killed instantly with one move!
The Fairy Tail wizards who were still worried about George were stunned instantly, and even Laxus, who had finished the battle, was staring with his eyes wide open.
Laxus had a hunch that Fried might not be able to defeat George, but he never expected that he would be killed instantly by George.
Fried, who was transformed into a demon, had defeated several S-class wizards, and his strength was definitely not weak.
"Winner, George!"
Mirajane, who came to her senses, flew over George and announced the result of this match.
George also returned to the size of a normal cat.
Fried in demon form is indeed not weak, but unfortunately, his giantization, lightning-stimulated body, and inherited the physique of the magic dragon have made his overall strength exceed Makarov, who has reached the limit of the Holy Ten Giantization.
Even if Fried is a demon, he is far from being comparable.
In addition, cats have fast reaction ability, and Fried was slapped down before he could attack with his speed advantage.
The fifth round ended, and the last round of drawing began.
Laxus vs. Erza, George vs. Lucy, the winner of both sides decided the champion.
The losers will compete for the runner-up and third place.
Half an hour later, the semi-finals began.
In the semi-finals, according to Makarov's intention, they were not held at the same time, but divided into two games.
The first game was George vs. Lucy.
There is no doubt that Lucy lost, but Lucy did not admit defeat directly, but summoned Aquarius Aquarius with the lake outside the ring, almost flooding the entire island.
It also proved that she was really strong when she broke out.
The second game was Erza vs. Laxus.
To be honest, this was the most interesting battle, and even George watched it very seriously.
Because Erza and Laxus are both S-class wizards who have truly passed the president's test and advanced within Fairy Tail.
Their strength is also at the top of the S-class wizards, and they may even have the strength of the Tenth Saint.
Erza may not be as strong as Laxus before, but after the Tower of Paradise incident, she defeated the top S-class wizard, Kakuga, and saw his heart clearly. It is hard to say who will win or lose.
Anyway, George is not sure whether Erza or Laxus will win in the end.
When the battle started, Erza directly changed into the Thunder Emperor Armor, which was highly resistant to lightning.
Erza, wearing the Thunder Emperor Armor, held a thunder gun and braided her hair with a ribbon. She looked heroic and heroic, and the audience on the shore cheered for her.
And Laxus also used the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic very seriously.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce.
In the end, Laxus's Dragon Slayer Magic was better. He swallowed the lightning released by Erza's thunder gun, destroyed Erza's Thunder Emperor Armor, and knocked her out before she could change clothes.
But he was also exhausted, and it could only be said that he won by a narrow margin.
"I didn't expect Erza's strength to be so strong!"
At this moment, Laxus realized that he really underestimated the wizards of the guild.
Erza, who had always looked down on him before, was only one level lower than him in strength.
In the previous battle, the strength of Natsu and Gray was much stronger than he had expected.
Could it be that his concept was really wrong, and the old man's concept was right?
Half an hour later, Mirajane flew in the air and announced to everyone with a microphone:
"Now, we are going to the last finals.
This game will determine the strongest wizard of our Fairy Tail Guild this year.
At the same time, it will also determine the next president of our Fairy Tail.
Is it Laxus who has the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic, or our future Cat President George, please look forward to it!"
