Chapter 411 1 Strike 9999
Chapter 411 One Slash 9999
The eerie and terrifying deathmatch arena, flickering with ghostly flames, has replaced the shattered Demon-Subduing Hall.
After all, it is said to be an existence that even the Ten Wizard Saints might not be able to defeat. The giant S-class monster is far superior to other monsters in terms of reaction speed and destructive power, and it is extremely oppressive.
Faced with such a monster, Mira, the demon who had only received the power of Halphas, seemed somewhat overwhelmed. After a fierce battle, she was blasted away by the giant fist and crashed heavily into the edge of the deathmatch arena.
"That was an exceptionally powerful attack! Will Mira be able to withstand it?!"
Like the terrified audience, Chabadi held his breath, his eyes glued to the image on the holographic screen obscured by thick smoke.
"An unexpected ambush, so that's how it is. This is the true origin of the name 'Demon Subduing Hall'—" Yajima sighed in a deep voice.
The edge of the arena.
"I warned you before, this game isn't so easy to beat, Pumpkin."
Referee Pumpkin Head breathed a sigh of relief, his words tinged with relief.
The reason why the S-rank monsters of the Demon Subduing Hall are set at the level of the Ten Saints is mainly to prepare for the possibility of Jura and Chess participating in the competition, so that they can't win too easily.
Who would have thought that this "insurance measure" would be used on Mira!
"Perhaps, but if it's Mira—"
Standing to the side, Future Erza crossed her arms, a faint smile on her lips, and said matter-of-factly, "That kind of big guy has no chance against her."
Pumpkin Head and the other contestants were all taken aback, unable to understand where she got her confidence from – Mira was clearly at a disadvantage in the match!
Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tail stands.
"Oh my gosh! Mira, show everyone your manliness!"
Both Elfmans, whether from the outside or the inside of the cards, were shouting excitedly.
These words made Mira's friends, who had originally wanted to cheer her on, feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother Elfman, Sister Mira is a girl!" The two Lisanas felt embarrassed and corrected each other at the same time.
Leaning against the wall, Future Laxus glanced at Chase: "You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit, aren't you worried at all?"
"Haha, what's there to worry about? She's my girlfriend!" Chase said proudly.
Future Laxus, who was force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection): "..."
I should have known better than to ask.
"No need to make that face, you have a girlfriend too, don't you?" Chase asked tentatively.
Looking at the future Laxus, he suddenly remembered something he had been interested in before, or rather, a piece of gossip he had been wanting to hear.
That is, in the original work, Larcade Dragneel's happiness magic also worked on Laxus!
Was it during the time after Fairy Tail disbanded and he temporarily joined Blue Pegasus that he "learned bad habits" from the host clubs at Ichiban?
Or did you say goodbye to your youth during your rebellious phase?
It's highly unlikely to be a guild member—at least in the two years since Chess joined Fairy Tail, there haven't been any related rumors.
"You, why are you so gossipy!"
In the future, Laxus blushed, resolutely turned his head away, showing no intention of answering the question.
Not far away, Juvia, Gajeel, and Future Cana, who had been eavesdropping, sighed in utter disappointment.
Just then, gasps of surprise suddenly erupted throughout the arena.
On the deathmatch platform, Mira used a hybrid receiving mode of Demon King, Demon Man, and Demon God, transforming into a blooming demon flower and smashing the right arm of an S-class monster with a ferocious punch!
The situation was turned around in an instant.
Facing Mira, the Demon King who had experience fighting Acnologia and had awakened her second magical source, the S-class monster was completely powerless to resist and was forced to retreat in defeat.
First his left arm shattered, then his armor was kicked through—
In the end, the core of the eyeball embedded in its abdomen, and even its entire enormous body, were annihilated in the explosive magical shockwave!
"Winner! Fairy Tail Team B, Mirajane Strauss!"
"The scene from the first day of competitions is back, another undisputed resounding victory!!"
The entire stadium erupted in cheers as Chabadi's voice cracked through the air!
The Demon-Subduing Hall and the Deathmatch Platform disappeared, and Mira, now back to normal, stood on the shrinking teleportation array, her black dress slightly dirty.
"Oops~ I think I went a little too far~"
After surveying the entire arena and letting out a Versailles-like sigh, her gaze swept over the other guild players who were already dumbfounded, and looked toward Chess in the B team's stands.
Seeing her boyfriend give her a thumbs up, the white-haired girl smiled happily.
"That's really impressive, Mira." Future Erza walked over slowly.
"Not at all, Erza would have gotten the same result, and might even have won more impressively," Mira laughed.
Players from guilds that are on good terms with Fairy Tail, such as Future Jura and Future Miriam, also came over to offer their congratulations and express their admiration.
"It's just that I was a bit lucky."
Oga, the Thunder God-Slayer Mage of Saber-Biting Tiger, scoffed contemptuously and turned to look at Pumpkin Head. "Hey, all the monsters have been defeated."
How should we determine the outcome of our match?
In his proud and arrogant mind, he believed that he could achieve the same effect if he were the first to go on stage.
"Well, I just finished discussing contingency plans with the organizers."
Upon hearing this, Pumpkin Head raised his hand and waved it, and a device inlaid with a special magic crystal appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This is a Magic Power Detector (MPF). When you attack this device with magic, the magic power will be displayed in numerical form."
"Although it's a slightly less interesting game compared to the Demon Subduing Hall, the final ranking of the seven of you will be determined by your stats."
Upon hearing such a simple and straightforward competition method, the contestants were slightly taken aback, and their reactions varied.
Violent mages like Oga and Jura were eager to try, while Hibiki Retis and Miriam Anna, who were more adept at strategic combat and skillful application of techniques, looked worried.
"Magic strength, huh—" Future Erza smiled confidently.
Although it's not complete yet, the equipment that the weapon shop worked overnight to create has unexpectedly come in handy so soon!
"The testing order seems to be based on the previous lottery. Erza, what number are you?" Mira asked curiously.
"I don't know if it's because I slept in the same room as Lucy, but I'm the last one, number eight." Future Erza helplessly showed the lot in her hand.
Two chibi Lucy avatars immediately popped up: "Wow, Lucy's luck is always amazing!"
After the gong sounded, the magic test officially began.
Miriamina went first and scored 365 points.
In Lahar's explanation, this falls under the level of "squad leader of the forced detention unit," which is not bad.
Nobali followed closely behind, scoring 124 points amidst the wild cheers of the four hounds—no, I mean, the four little dog mages.
The third to appear was Blue Pegasus Hibiki Rettis, who, after a series of dazzling maneuvers, managed to earn a shameful score of 95.
Well, it's not even as good as a "puppy"!
The only consolation was that Arnold, a candidate for Raventail, was even lower than him, not even in the double digits, which caused laughter from the audience.
Of course, this was most likely orchestrated by Ivan in secret, a deliberate act of using hidden magic to target Fairy Tail in the upcoming battle.
After the comedic performance, Oga from Sabertooth finally scored a staggering 3825 points, leaving even Lahar in awe.
Jura from Boa Hancock Scale caused a stir among the audience, reaching an astonishing 8623!
"Oh? It's even taller than I imagined—." Chase was somewhat surprised.
If I remember correctly, Jura in this part of the original work should be number 8544.
He hadn't lied before; he had indeed made a small improvement after the first day's battle.
"Can Erza over here really surpass this score?" Juvia asked with concern.
"Overcoming Saberbite should be no problem, as for Jura—"
Future Laxus sighed softly, "It's difficult."
It's not that I don't think highly of Erza, it's just that her opponent is too strong. I probably wouldn't stand a chance against her.
"So re wado ka na (That's not necessarily true)," Chess said with a laugh, quoting the classic card player line.
Unfortunately, this topic came up during my date with Erza last night.
Upon hearing this, Future Laxus's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the arena with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
The last one to appear, Erza from the future, had changed into a breast wrap, and her red-tasseled longsword was constantly gathering magical power.
Even the Pure Heart Garment, which forgoes all defense—
"Wait, wait a minute, what's that?!"
Future Laxus suddenly noticed that Future Erza's arm, which was holding the sword, was equipped with a bronze right wrist that he had never seen before, which was shimmering with mysterious runes!
In the midst of the shock, a cold glint flashed across the field.
The sharp-eyed fairy queen had already completed a stylish sword-sheathing pose.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the magic crystal, now cleaved into two smooth pieces, fell to the ground.
