The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 577 Selection Competition

Generally speaking, the growth trajectory of ordinary magicians is a fairly smooth curve. Trying to catch up with the seven-year gap in three months is, to be honest, quite unrealistic.

Every magician gradually becomes stronger by tempering his body and magic power little by little, and developing and perfecting his own magic.

But for a group of people in the Sirius group, this is not a question of whether they can do it, but a goal that must be achieved.

After all, each of them is not an ordinary magician. Their outstanding talents and several battles that have been on the verge of despair but have exceeded their limits have given them the confidence to achieve such a goal.

However, as expected, surprises still occurred.

Counting the time spent preparing for the competition and traveling, we only have two and a half months left to practice. It can be said that every second counts.

Even when time was so tight, a group of people went to the Star Spirit Realm during the special training camp.

What kind of place is the Star Spirit Realm? It is a different space where time and reality are completely out of sync.

Two months had passed by the time they returned from the Star Spirit Realm. When Ciel arrived, he saw a group of people transformed into black and white sculptures.

It is possible to say that it is possible to make up for the gap in three months, but it is more realistic for them to lie flat with only a dozen days left.

What else could Ciel say? He had forgotten that they would do something like this again.

The only exception is Lucy, who has made contracts with all the zodiac spirits. She has grown to such an extent that even Ciel was shocked.

As a result, among a group of black and white sculptures, she is the only one who is still full of energy. Not only that, she even snickered in front of Natsu with disdain.

At this point, normal methods no longer work, and we can only cheat them like the original plot.

So Ciel contacted Urrutia and asked her to help everyone forcefully activate the second magic source.

I wonder if Urrutia had anticipated this situation. After Ciel contacted her, she immediately appeared in front of everyone and helped everyone complete the development of the second magic source.

As for the side effects of being so painful that they can't move, they deserve it.

Although things developed with some twists and turns, everyone still achieved the planned goal.

But before setting off to participate in the Great Demon Fight, Fairy Tail still has to hold a selection competition for participating members.

The content of the competition is – Magic Battle Royale!

In the mountains near Magnolia, all those who wanted to participate in the competition dispersed into it, and everyone except themselves was an opponent.

Until the last five people are decided, they are the contestants participating in this great magic battle.

Although the format of the competition is simple, it not only tests the players' combat abilities, but also tests of enemy hunting, survival, strategy, etc., and even a test of luck.

Except for those who participated in the game and a few people who acted as a rescue team, everyone else was watching the game in the guild through surveillance magic.

Ciel didn't compete with everyone else for a spot. He sat on one side and watched the live broadcast with a straw in his mouth. Naturally, what he was watching was Natsu's situation.

Natsu twitched his nose, using his excellent sense of smell to search for his opponent.

For a fool like Natsu, there is no strategy. Although he really wants to get a place in the competition, he is now 100% looking for the strongest people in the competition field.

And this kid absolutely believes that even if he fights against the strongest opponent, he can win in the end.

Ciel sighed, Natsu's personality was indeed worrying. However, it was precisely because of this belief that Natsu defeated seemingly invincible enemies one after another. This may also be Natsu's strength.

A proud smile appeared on Natsu's face in the light screen. It seemed that he had found the target and moved quickly.

"Lakusus, let's decide the outcome!" Ciel slapped his forehead and let out a sigh. Natsu really knows how to pick his opponents.

As a former S-class mage, Lacusus is a powerful mage who has developed a second source of magic power himself.

In the original plot, if it weren't for Natsu's outburst of idealism and the fact that Lacusus didn't regard him as an enemy in his heart, Natsu would not have been able to defeat Lacusus.

After experiencing several violent beatings by Ciel and regaining his true nature, Lacusus also grew up a lot while wandering around.

Lacusus did not participate in the previous staycation, which meant that he spent the past two and a half months practicing in a down-to-earth manner.

Except for a few people such as Gildarts, Ciel and Stella, no one in the guild, not even Erza, dared to say that they could beat him.

Then everyone in the arena saw red flames and yellow thunder and lightning rising into the sky. Then the two sides fought for a long time before thunder and lightning suppressed the flames.

No one was surprised by this, but Natsu, who thought he would be eliminated, escaped instead.

With Natsu's character, he wouldn't escape even if he couldn't defeat him. Fortunately, he had a fairly clear-headed Habi beside him.

Happy flew Natsu, who was shouting to continue fighting, away from Lacusus, so that he didn't become the first person to be eliminated.

In a battle that was not certain to be won, the little blue cat always had a flexible bottom line and would not let Natsu make mistakes.

While Natsu and Lacusus were fighting, the others also met their opponents.

The Black and White Dragons met the Thunder Gods and won the battle, eliminating the trio. In terms of tacit understanding, the black and white dragons can activate the secret of joining forces to slay the dragon, which is better in the end.

Gray eliminated Elfman, and Elfman received the Soul of the Beast King but failed to break free from Gray's ice.

Kagura and Erza mercilessly eliminated the two Sky Girls and then went head-to-head with Mai Mang. The winner has not yet been decided.

Both women are magicians with special sword skills. They don't have any gorgeous magic, they just have different attributes when the blades intersect.

Kana and Lucy performed what plastic sisters are, and they were not polite to do evil things to each other.

The two of them are similar to the previous pair, both have fully developed magic, and they pay special attention to formation during battle. Various cards and protoss appear one after another, turning the battle into a turn-based game.

I don't know if it was to avenge Lebby, but Gajeel fought very seriously. Juvia will not give up the opportunity to compete with Gray, and her resistance is quite strong.

Speaking of which, the two came from the same background, and usually had a good relationship in the union, but they actually fought over men and women. It was really a typical example of forgetting one's loyalty.

Ciel shook his head while sucking the juice, and couldn't help but lament that the atmosphere of the union had been ruined.

As for Makarov, he's having a headache right now.

Although the way the game was played solved many problems, he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

Although the competition venue is a barren mountain, it cannot be damaged too seriously. But not long after the game started, the battle had already ravaged the area of ​​progress.

I can’t imagine what a mess it will be after the game is over!

Makarov couldn't help but shed cold sweat on his forehead. There shouldn't be any big problems in that area... right?

Makarov had to admit, even if he didn't want to, that he should have the highest level of confidence in the destructive abilities of Fairy Tail's troubled children.
