Last year's contest was a king-like tower game, but this year's one is different, and it's a knockout match similar to eating chicken.

Eight three-person squads, a total of 24 people, although a few of them seem to be a number, but there are also many popular magicians. Such a lineup is enough to make all the audience enthusiastic.

In the shocked gaze of thousands of spectators, accompanied by a few metal tremors, pieces of magical, pitch-black mosaics rose from the huge square in front of them, gradually forming a huge black magic ball, enveloping the middle position.

Then, the screen of the magic crystal hanging in the air stabbed, and after a flicker, the playing field made of magic power in the magic ball appeared.

Such a magical scene attracted thousands of spectators at this scene.

Even some of them were knowledgeable magicians, and they were quite curious about it. This kind of magic technology was absolutely invisible in the past, and this is all because magic technology has only made a big breakthrough in recent years, not referring to the crystal display screen, but the technology of the magic construction site in front of you.

"Oooh oh !!"

"What is this?? Looks amazing!! ”

Even if you haven't seen a pig run, many people have eaten pork. It didn't take long to guess how the arena was built, and although it was a novelty, it was quick to see the clues.

"A playing field that manifests itself with magic? It's ridiculously magical! But why surround it? ”

Why surround it? Of course, it's because the playing field is so different from the outside environment.

Since the game is played according to the game mode of eating chicken, of course, the venue must be designed to be more complex, exciting, and diverse, so as to add more fun to the competition.

In addition, there are proportional and safety considerations.

The former is not much to say, this arena is not big, and it is naturally impossible to form a one-to-one size to build a large and complex terrain, so the magicians who enter it will appropriately adjust the form. As for the latter, the main reason is that the magic of these contestants is too outrageous and will hurt the audience.

You know, these people are the magicians of Fairy Tail!

If nothing else, they are the most lawless group of people in the entire Fiore Kingdom, and even in the entire Yin Xiugar!

Whether it is the long-famous Gildas, or Kira, who has the name of 'Holy Ten', or the well-known 'Queen', 'Thor' and 'Majin', these people are all earth-shattering when they fight, and may even destroy the whole Magnoria, so they must be restricted!

This kind of restriction is to control their magic power in the arena, once there is a battle that triggers the vision of heaven and earth, such as summoning meteorites, volcanic eruptions, etc., it will be generated by the magic power with the scene, and will not produce a real vision, otherwise it will be too irresponsible for these audiences who come to see the excitement! Even if Volod, the Four Heavenly Kings, is present, he can't be so prodigal!

In this regard, Makarov feels that he is still very measured.

……

As the mana shield rises, Kira's eyes flicker, and the surrounding scene changes.

In the last second, there was still some cool autumn sky above my head, and the next second it turned into a scorching sun as high as 30 degrees, and under my feet, there was a sea of sand that could be seen at the edge!

The unbearable heat came from the sky and the earth towards Kira, and sweat poured out of his head, back, hands and feet, instantly wetting his long sleeves, which were still warm.

Kira looked around and found that she was the only one around, and sighed helplessly: "It's hard now!" No one told me that this contest was a scattered entry! Didn't we participate in squads? ”

Originally, Kira thought that with his own strength, he should be able to drag on two, but now it seems that they need to fight on their own, so it is not certain whether those two guys can hold out until the team gathers!

"Really, what the hell is the president doing? If you don't say anything about this kind of thing in advance, it can't be that people have poor memories when they're old, right? ”

"Ahem! Don't speak ill of the old man behind your back!! At this moment, Makarov's voice suddenly sounded.

"President??" Kira looked confused at the source of the sound—the bracelet in her hand.

This bracelet was given to all the players by Makarov before the start of the match, saying that by pressing it, it would reveal a minimap of the arena.

Kira didn't think much about it, pressed it, and suddenly a virtual screen appeared above the bracelet.

On the screen, there is a map of the arena made of eight irregular squares of different colors, which is very rudimentary, roughly in the form of left, center and right.

At the top of the left and center is the Great Desert where Kira is now located. Under the desert, on the left is a mechanical labyrinth, and under the labyrinth is a poisonous mire; In the middle is a lava volcano, below the volcano is the ice realm, and under the ice is the gravitational field. As for the far right, the upper half is the ghost graveyard, and the lower half is the steel jungle.

As the name suggests, the environment at these eight sites is hostile and carries unimaginable dangers. So the contestants are not only facing the enemies of other squads, but also the crisis in these eight venues?

At this moment, Kira's bracelet shows, in addition to this simple mini-map of the arena, there are also three green points of light. One of them is located in the Great Desert, one in the Ghost Graveyard, and the last one in the Ice Realm. Kira knew it was for herself, Abba Greene, and Marcus.

According to the surrounding environment, the place where he is should be a great desert, as for the specific danger of the two teammates, it is unknown.

"I didn't expect to end up in a place like this...... But compared to other places, this place should be pretty good. ”

While thinking about it, Makarov's voice reappeared: "You are all very clever, and I suddenly thought of the bracelet I gave you before." That's right! As you can see, this bracelet has three functions, which is to view the map of this competition, lock the current location of yourself and your teammates, and facilitate the broadcast of the old man. ”

Sure enough, you can see everything about the participants outside......

"Anyway, this minimap is too useless......"

Kira complained silently, not wanting that as soon as his voice fell, Makarov's voice appeared again: "What? Think the little map that the old man gave you is useless? ”

This old guy, did you turn the bugging?

"The old man didn't put a bug on the bracelet, but it was seen from your expressions! In the end, the old man is also very helpless about the poor map, so he can only send you one sentence - love to use it or not! ”

I'm really convinced! When did this old man's temper become like this?! Saying this kind of thing in public, and the old-timer Volod is next to him, this president is too open-mouthed!!

But that's what Fairy Tail does......

On the stage, Makarov smiled wickedly, and almost danced with the microphone in his hand, as if he was happy to trap this group of mischievous imps.

"Is it really good for you to say such things, President Makarov?"

"Don't worry, Mayor! These imps don't stop looking at the map because of those words. ”

Makarov was right, even Naz and Harpy, who were the most unresponsive of the contestants, were looking at the minimap in their hands at the moment and moving in the direction of their teammates.

"Anyway, let's go and meet the others first, and if you meet someone from another team on the way, just defeat it by the way!"

"It looks dangerous from the outside, wouldn't it be miserable if you ran into someone from another team? Looks like I'd better stay here and wait for my teammates to come to me......"

"It seems interesting around here...... Anyway, I don't know where the opponent is now, so I'll find someone while exploring. ”

The minimap is really useful, as players either find their teammates, wait for their teammates to find them, or simply ignore their teammates, but they all make their own decisions and get moving.

"So...... Who will be the first person I meet in this game? I'm really looking forward to it! ”
