Chapter 253: The Demon Palace
The third day after the Great Demon Fighting Exercise began.
This morning, the whole of Kulokas was spreading something.
One of Fairy Tail's men attacked the Sabertooth Tiger's inn last night, and everyone laughed at the idiot who was delusional about the madness of the entire Sabertooth Tiger Guild on his own.
Fairy Tail's Inn, Team A's door, was kicked open.
"Was that idiot going to attack the Sabertooth Tiger's inn last night?" Gergill yelled into the room, followed by Mirajane.
Because Guggill's yelling was awakened by this roar except for Natsu.
"What are you doing, Guggill......" Lucy got out of bed with sleepy eyes and looked at Guggill at the door.
"I mean, that idiot guy went to the Sabertooth Tiger's inn last night to stir up trouble," Gergil yelled again.
"That idiot guy you said was sleeping......" Charlulu stood on the bed and looked in Natsu's direction, and when she saw that Harpy was actually sleeping, she continued, "It's not an idiot, it's two idiots......"
"I'm right, it's really you, Fire Dragon......" Guggier walked over to Natsu's bed, grabbed Natsu, who was still asleep, and shook him violently, "Why don't you call me for such a funny thing?"
As soon as Guggill shouted this, black lines appeared on the foreheads of everyone in the room except Natsu.
"Really, early in the morning for this...... Gray got up from his bed naked.
"You don't seem qualified to talk about anyone else," Lucy said as she turned her head to look at Gray, who had said the same thing as Gurgil last night.
However, after Lucy turned her head, she actually saw that Gray was naked and not wearing a single dress, and black lines appeared on her forehead again, and she instantly turned her head and yelled, "Gray, how many times have you said it, this is a six-person room, not a single room, you have to wear pants at least when you sleep......"
"Ah......" was yelled at by Lucy, Gray found that he was naked, and then put on his panties and pants at a super fast speed, Mirajan, who expected this situation, deliberately did not enter the door and turned her head to look at the change, Wendy blushed and covered her eyes with her hands, Xia Lulu covered her eyes and scolded the pervert in her mouth, the only woman with a normal expression is probably Elusa.
After Gray's clothes and pants were all on, Mirazhen walked in through the door and looked to see that Xiu was not there.
"Where's Ashu?" said Mirajan, looking at Lucy.
"I left last night to do something important, but he's coming back tonight," Lucy said.
"Brother Ashu left in a hurry...... Wendy continued.
"That's right...... I thought he was working out early in the morning like he used to," Mirajan said, looking at Natsu and Guggill.
Natsu had been shaken out by Guggill and was eye-to-eye for what had happened last night.
"Why did Natsu make a mess at the Sabertooth Tiger's inn last night?" asked Mirajan, who had rested earlier than Lucy and the others last night, so she didn't know what was going on.
"Here's how it is......" Lucy then told her all about it, and Mirajane knew what was going on.
In fact, this incident started because of Yukino, Natsu decided that Yukino was an enemy at the beginning, but from what happened last night, he knew that Yukino was not an enemy, so he chased after him alone and wanted to apologize to Yukino for being hostile to her at the beginning, but the next thing was beyond Natsu's expectations, and it was really the same as Xiu said that Yukino was really not a member of the Sabertooth Tiger, and it was the president of the Sabertooth Tiger who personally drove Yukino out of the Sabertooth Tiger, and there was only one reason, that is, he lost to the mermaid's heel, and it seemed that he humiliated Yukino in the field of view of all the members of the Sabertooth Tiger, Knowing that Natsu was so angry that he went directly to the Sabertooth Tiger's inn to make a fuss, he originally wanted to teach the president of the Sabertooth Tiger a lesson, but he was stopped by the eldest lady Mineba that Xue Nai said, and it was because Mineba caught Harpy that Natsu had to let go.
"I see, the saber-toothed tiger is indeed too much, but Natsu rashly went to the saber-toothed tiger to ask for an explanation," Mirajan said.
"Yes, that big lady Mineba has handled Natsu's mess around pretty well, and if Natsu is allowed to make trouble, not only the cat will come out of the moth," Elusa said.
"Cut" Natsu snorted dissatisfiedly, and then he and Guggill's eye to eye stopped, "No matter how you do it, you must not lose to this kind of guild in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts" Natsu said in a deep voice, thinking of what the Sabertooth Tiger did to Yukino, there was a faint anger in his heart, last night he said this sentence in front of the entire Sabertooth Tiger, "I will never let you win the game......
"Okay, anyone can say big things, if you want to defeat the Sabertooth Tiger, then deal with today's game" Guggier said lightly, and walked towards the door, quickly disappearing from everyone's view.
"That's right, it's time to get up and head to the Domus Arena for today's game," Elusa exclaimed.
Then everyone began to wash up in the morning, and then went to the restaurant to have breakfast before walking to the Domus Arena.
The time announced yesterday was much earlier, already at nine o'clock, so Wendy, who was slower, arrived after the Great Demon Fighting Exercise began.
On the commentary podium, today's guest was Rahal, the captain of the council's forcible inspection unit, which was not too important to the audience, but what kind of excitement today's game should be.
"Alright, the Great Demon Fight is in the middle of the game, and the third day of the competition is just the beginning," Kabaddi's voice echoed through every corner of the Domus Arena.
"The competition on the third day is called the Demon Temple, and the specific rules of the competition will not be announced for the time being," Kabaddi said.
"Demon Temple, what is that?" Romeo wondered.
"Needless to ask, it must be a palace full of all kinds of monsters," Xia Lulu said.
"No, no, this must be the same as a haunted house, as long as you enter it, there will be a lot of demons and monsters coming out of it...... It's like this...... "Makanov actually made his head bigger with giant magic and scared Romeo, and this time it really scared Romeo, and brought Harpy and Xia Lulu with him.
However, at this time, everyone heard a low cry, and everyone saw that it was actually Mebis crying.
"What's wrong with you, first?" asked Romeo.
"Actually, I'm afraid of ghosts," Mebis cried.
"Eh......" Everyone exclaimed at this moment.
"Ghosts are afraid of ghosts, too......" Romeo couldn't help but complain.
"Now it's time for each team to choose their own contestants, and all the rules will be announced after the contestants are dispatched," Kabaddi's voice rang out.
Fairy Tail Team A's preparation
"I'm on the field, I'm still holding my breath from last night," Natsu shouted.
"I'm going to play too, and the loss in the first game makes me still haunted," Gray said.
"I don't care about this, as long as it's not me who plays," Lucy smiled awkwardly, her magic has barely grown, so try not to play as well, if she can, she hopes to replace Xiu Neng, but the organizer does not allow this situation, each team has five contestants, there can be a substitute player, once the substitute is determined, it is not allowed to change, even if one of them is injured and can't play, it can't be increased, which is why Elusa said it was a pity last night.
Wendy didn't say anything, she didn't care about any of that.
"No, I'm going to play this game, and if you are allowed to play, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause......" Elusa said with a glance at Natsu and Gray.
Elusa spoke with Lucy's hands in support, but Natsu cried out in dissatisfaction.
In a short period of time, all the players that all the teams were going to send were coming on the field one after another.
Elusa, who was walking on the playing field, was chased by a man.
"I won't lose to you, little Elusa," a woman dressed as a cat ran past Elusa.
Elusa looked at the woman running over and nodded with a slight smile, this woman was none other than Miriana, the girl in the Tower of Paradise who liked cats very much and dressed herself as a cat, came back to Fiorelli after Arcane and Elusa went on a trip, and met with Elusa last night, and it was because of Miliana Elusa that she came back a long time late.
Elusa looked at Miriana's very cheerful figure, and couldn't help but think of last night's incident, Miliana came back to join the mermaid's heel for only one purpose, that is, to kill Gerald, on the way to the trip, accidentally heard that Gerald was still alive, and then met another person, that is, the mermaid's heel Kagura, this woman who also aimed to kill Gerald soon Miliana and Kagura became companions.
Why did Miliana kill Gerald, it was still on the Tower of Paradise, enslavement deceived them all for so many years, and she also killed Simon, which is also unforgivable for Miriana, so far Elusa found that there were actually two beings in the mermaid's heel who vowed to kill Gerald, one was her friend and the other was a woman she thought was extremely strong, which made her expression heavy, because Gerald was in the Fairy Tail Guild at this time and appeared as Miston Height.
"No, it's not about thinking about these things now, you have to concentrate now" Elusa is not a person who can't tell the weight of anything, and soon Elusa put this matter aside and then concentrates on thinking about the game, and her pace is a little faster.
It didn't take long for the contestants from each team to stand on the playing field, and Kabaddi on the commentary podium also got the list of contestants.
Then the Domus Arena once again showed the avatars of the participants of each team.
"All assembled, Mermaid's Heel sent Miriana"
"The crow's tail sent Obra"
"The Teal Pegasus sent Shippicki"
"The Sabertooth Tiger sent Oruga"
"Serpent Scales sent out Jora"
"The name has been changed to four puppies sent out to Nobali"
"Fairy Tail A sent Elusa"
"Fairy Tail B sent Kana"
"Let the Demon Temple appear in everyone's shock now," after Kabaddi's voice fell, a black-purple magic circle appeared above the Domus Arena with a range that reached the playing field and laughed.
Under everyone's vision, a spire-like building gradually emerged from the magic array, and as more and more buildings were exposed, everyone realized that this was not an upside-down castle at all, this upside-down castle was extremely magnificent, not only stunned the contestants but also shocked all the audience, this kind of thing was taken out to show that the organizers were painstaking.
As soon as Hipigy saw this upside-down castle, he began to use his ancient book magic to start parsing it.
"This is a demon hall where all kinds of evil things and demons are gathered," Pumpkin said, and today's Pumpkin's vacation is over, so Pumpkin is back as a referee today.
"What do you mean by the evil creatures and demons in the Demon Temple," Jola asked Pumpkin.
"There are 100 evil creatures and demons in the Demon Temple, but they are all magic manifestations made by us with magic, and they will not attack people, so please rest assured, Pumpkin," Pumpkin explained.
"Among the 100 monsters, there are five levels, and they are divided into D, C, B, A, and S in terms of strength, and the number of levels is as follows," Pumpkin continued.
Then the eight of them saw a number chart of five levels appear on a magic crystal crest, 50 for D-level, 30 for C-level, 15 for B-level, 4 for A-level, and 1 for S.
"Now let's see how strong the D-class demons are," Pumpkin said, and then a huge white monster appeared on the crystal cone and inadvertently smashed a huge stone pillar.
This scene surprised many people, this is not an ordinary demon, although it is a magic manifestation, but if it is hit by this kind of attack, it will also be injured.
"This is the strength of the D-level demon, on top of this, there are four kinds of demons that are stronger than it, and each higher level is twice as strong as the strength, and the S-level demon may not even be able to beat the great demon of the Holy Ten, pumpkin ......" Pumpkin said.
After saying this, Dura was slightly serious, he didn't care too much about the strength of this monster before.
"Before you enter the Demon Palace, you need to choose to challenge a few demons, which is called the right to challenge," Pumpkin continued.
"Laugh right, what's that?" Elusa asked.
"If one demon chooses three demons, then there will only be three demons in the Demon Palace, and until all three demons get three points, and then the next one will choose to repeat from the remaining ninety-seven demons in turn, until the number of demons is zero or your magic power is zero, Pumpkin ......" Pumpkin explained.
"It's like a game of numbers," said Miliana.
"That's right, to be clear, whether it's better to challenge five or one, the chances of monsters appearing are the same for each level, Pumpkin ......," Pumpkin continued.
"In other words, as long as you don't choose the strategy of the S demon," Hipigy said.
"Since all monsters have the same chance of appearing, strategy doesn't work," Oruga said, looking at Hipki.
"No, this strategy can be done with the precision of my ancient magic," Hipigy said triumphantly.
"Enter the Demon Temple, and then fight the demon to get points, but what happens if you are defeated by the demon?" Kana asked.
"The points of the monsters defeated in the previous round remain the same, but the points of this round are cleared and forced to exit," Pumpkin said.
"That means don't risk your life to come to the game," Fairy Tail cheered in support of Fairy Tail after hearing these rules, and Makanov said slowly.
"And you have to count the mana recovery for the next rendezvous to compete," Xia Lulu continued.
"It's unexpectedly difficult," Romeo said.
"So what are the two ladies of Fairy Tail going to do now...... I'm really looking forward to it," Mebis said with interest.
"Let's draw lots easily, draw out the order of entering the Demon Palace" At this time, a lottery box appeared in the pumpkin hand on the playing field, signaling the eight people to draw lots.
Immediately, the eight people immediately took out a wooden stick from the lottery box, and Elusa's wooden stick soon appeared with a number of one, which meant that Elusa was the first person to enter the Demon Temple, which made Elusa slightly surprised.
"First, I'm lucky, Elusa, this way I can do a few more rounds, unlike I don't know when I'm eighth" Kana walked over and saw the number in Elusa's hand.
When Elusa heard Kana say this, she looked at the numbers in her hand again and seemed to think of something.
"I think...... This is a game that relies on lottery luck to decide whether the game is won or lost, rather than relying on multiple rounds to win the game, and there are a lot to consider at this time, your own situation and sufficient judgment"
"And it's all about luck in the draw," Elusa said slowly.
After hearing Elusa's words, the rest of the people who were looking at the familiar hands in his hands were stunned, and turned their heads to look at Elusa.
"What did you say?" Pumpkin wondered as she looked at Elusa.
Elusa smiled, then walked to the entrance of the Demon Temple, "A hundred are all mine," Elusa said coldly.
At this time, Elusa's expression began to become extremely stern.
"With the right to challenge, I choose a hundred ......," Elusa shouted in a deep voice as she stood in front of the Demon Palace.
After Elusa shouted these words, not only Kana and Pumpkins and the six players of the other teams, but also all the spectators in the entire Domus Arena, including Fairy Tail's own guilds, were silent, looking at the handsome woman with red hair in armor shining in front of the Demon Hall in shock.
One person challenged the Demon Hall with a hundred demons, this was something they didn't expect at all, whether it was better to say that Elusa was arrogant or arrogant, everyone couldn't make a judgment so easily.
Natsu and Gray, who seemed to have anticipated this situation, laughed heartlessly, because they thought that even if Elusa couldn't do it, as long as they could hold up the strength of the fairy tail, it would be enough, and they thought that since they said that, Elusa herself should have the confidence to take all the demons alone.
By this time, Elusa had already begun to walk towards the Demon Palace.
