The moment he saw the two of them make a big move, Kira made a decisive move.

"Defense!"

"Guard!"

"Barrier!"

With one heart and three purposes, three consecutive defensive magic covers are placed on the spectator seat, protecting thousands of spectators from harm, and at the same time preventing the energy in the arena from spreading out, the next second......

On this side, the three-meter-long, twenty-centimeter-wide big sword was tightly held in Gray's hand, and the ice blade rotated around and launched countless ice blades, falling from the sky and rising from the ground, like thousands of horses galloping forward, overwhelming, dense, and there was no gap for people to dodge at all, and the momentum was huge, instantly freezing half of the competition platform into an ice territory, full of lethality.

On the other side, the energy ball with a diameter of less than ten centimeters is the final form of pressing unimaginable energy to the limit, spinning, and maintaining, it is launched from the mouth of the fire demon ape, the speed is very fast, a path straight forward, first half of the platform is burned into charcoal, silently, before it touches the ice blade, the outermost layer of the blade melts out of the water stains, the temperature is amazingly high.

Bite!

With a soft sound, the three-meter-long ice shattered teeth slashed into the oncoming energy fireball, and the tangible and clearly visible energy exploded at the moment of the exchange, rolling up a terrifying wind in all directions.

Then came an earth-shattering explosion!

Rumble!

Frost and heat waves collide, friction and blend violently, the light ones rise, burning the sky red, and the heavy ones sink and freeze the earth.

The two streams of cold and hot air form an inclined front in the arena, and in the center, in a circular area with a diameter of one meter, the water vapor is constantly steaming into the air, covering the audience's vision.

Hundreds of ice blades floated in the air, standing on the ground, like well-trained soldiers, under the leadership of Gray and under the command of the great sword, launching one attack after another against the enemy on the opposite side, like warriors who are not afraid of death, one after another, just to lower their temperature;

But the wall of fire, the red wall of fire formed by the explosion of the fireball, which divided the stage into two worlds, was simply stronger than the wall made of energy-absorbing stones, and tens of thousands of ice blades hit it like moths to the fire, killing itself, it was like a bottomless sea of fire, and the ice blades were melted as much as they came.

"Drink ——!"

"Bastard ——!"

The two of them used all their strength, as if they were about to exhaust the remaining magic and spiritual power.

They know in their hearts that if they win anyway, they will play Kira tomorrow, although they don't want to admit it, but they really can't beat it, so it's better to play a little better today, at least to win a game.

White and red divide the arena in half, Gray's icy field on the left and Kana's hot hell on the right, with the ice blades covering the sky and slashing in the same direction; The flames are endless, containing and devouring ice weapons of various shapes.

The familiar scene reappeared, and Elusa, Lucy, Natsu, Rocky, and Elfman couldn't help but recall the earth-shattering battle they had experienced not long ago and witnessed with their own eyes in Zonya.

Several people glanced at Kira, and they all thought in their hearts: "This is simply a copy of the battle at that time......

It's just that this time the ice and fire duel, the ice side has no terrain bonus, the flame side lacks bells and whistles, and the two people on the field now are far from reaching the strength of the two sides in the original decisive battle.

"Is this Kira's summoned beast? There's a set! Gray was dripping with sweat and soaking wet, his eyes staring directly at the flames in front of him, not darting for a moment, "It seems to be a little hotter than Natsu's fire!" ”

"Damn, Gray's move, I've never seen him use it before, and the magic seems to be a little strange, giving me a sense of déjà vu," Kana gritted her teeth, her face turned pale, and the little mental power she had left transmitted her thoughts and energy, controlling the fire demon ape whose energy was gradually bottoming out from a distance, "By the way, is it the magic trick that Zonia encountered and comprehended from it?" ”

The confrontation continued, but the thousands of spectators in the audience were already stunned by the scene in front of them, their mouths wide open, and their eyes stared blankly at this scene.

"Good...... It's amazing...... This is the sorcerer of Fairy Tail......"

"Gray and Kana, I remember that these two are not the S-class magicians of their fairy tail, they are so strong in fighting, so if the S-class is serious, ......"

"It seems that those rumors are true......"

Hearsay? What rumors? Oh, remembered!

After some tips from insiders, the audience remembered the rumors they often read in the newspapers, such as "the magician of the demon tail destroyed half of the street during the mission" and "the magician of the demon tail destroyed a mountain in order to hunt the monster".

"It's horrible!"

Physical and mental strength began to run out, and the magic energy and energy were about to be exhausted.

Gray's attack declined, the number of ice blades decreased dramatically, and the offensive became slow; The flames of the Fire Demon Ape revealed flaws, the temperature began to drop, and the wall of fire became thin.

Dispel stepped out from behind the shield, took care of his demeanor a little, and then continued to make a final explanation: "Gray and Kana's trick has been released, and you can see that after a period of confrontation, both of them have a decline on their faces, which can also be seen from their magic. ”

"According to my estimate, their physical strength, magic power, and mental power should be almost at the bottom, and the battle of this move is coming to an end! So the question is, who will win in this situation? I think it depends on each other's will and faith! ”

There is no theory of "which side wins and which side loses", and there is no agreement that "I have a reason not to lose", and the quarterfinals between Gray and Kana are coming to an end.

The last ice blade was melted, the last flame disappeared into the air, and this battle of ice and fire between man and fire demon ape lost energy support at the last moment, and it was interrupted together!

The steam was filled, and the mist covered the stage, making it impossible to see the scene inside. Less leaning, a gust of wind blew from a distance, blowing away the water vapor in the field, revealing two figures:

Gray was half-kneeling, panting, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his hair, face, and naked upper body were soaked, but he was conscious, but he was severely dehydrated;

Kana fell, and the Fire Demon Ape was depleted of energy, turned into cards again, and lay quietly in her hands, while she herself had fallen asleep due to mental overdraft.

"The First Evolution"

"The game is over, congratulations to Gray for his victory!

”

"Oooo

！ ”

"Oooh!

！ ”

The victory and defeat were decided, and the audience was cheering, both the audience and the guild mates were surprised and surprised by today's battle.

"I really didn't expect Gray and Kana to become so strong! I think they were still two little ghosts back then......" The older generation sighed, especially Maklov, with tears in the corners of his eyes in joy, and there was a feeling of unforgiving years, "We are really old! ”

Kira, Natsu, Elusa, Lucy, and others came up to carry Gray and Kana down and sent them to rest, whether it was Gray or Kana, what they needed most now was to take a shower and sleep well, and wake up with a big meal.

Before leaving, Kira glanced at the stage, and there was no doubt that the duel of ice and fire had done irreversible damage to it, and it was full of cracks and holes.

"Gray's last ultimate, it's a bit like the Ice Demon King's magic......

Thinking about it, Kira thought of the scene when he, Gray, Winter, and the Ice Demon King performed a combination of magic together in order to escape from the Black Dragon, "It seems that at that time, he received part of the Ice Demon's magic power, and then his body remembered the magic fluctuations, so he can create similar ice now?" ”

After all, it's the second male in the original work, so it's not surprising that there is such a bizarre way of acquiring skills!

Looking at Gray, who was slumped in the chair and gradually falling asleep, Kira smacked her tongue: "First of all, Natsu appeared in the flame mode, and in a blink of an eye, you can create the same type of ice as the Ice Demon King, and the strength of the two of you is really bound to rise!" ”

The second match came to an end, and due to the destruction of the stage, it took a little time to repair, and the third match dragged on to half an hour later.

Half an hour later, the red and blue figures stepped on the stage at the same time, standing opposite each other under the watchful eye of the crowd.

the sassy female knight, Elusa; The mysterious magician, Mister Height.

The two of the strongest candidates for Fairy Tail met in advance of the quarterfinals and are about to start this thrilling showdown!
