The Sky God's God Slayer

The battle was one-sided.

Freya was completely outmatched; her hair would be cut off, grow back, and then be cut off again.

No matter how hard they struggle, they can't turn the tide.

Lucy and Caelum worked together, one on each side, their two scissors flashing up and down, making a constant snip-snip sound.

Lucy was overjoyed; after so long, she had finally encountered an enemy she could overcome.

Freya's hair was completely cut off and scattered all over the ground, forming a thick layer.

Even though she manipulated the remaining hair to ignite flames, the flames spreading from the ends to the roots, they couldn't stop Lucy's offensive.

The flames were extinguished by the wind before they could even get close to Lucy.

Erza nodded with satisfaction, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It seems my instruction on swordsmanship over these past three months has not been in vain."

Lucy held the knife in both hands, assuming a fighting stance.

The blade is held horizontally in front of him, his knees are slightly bent, and his center of gravity is lowered.

Golden magic surged around him, and light overflowed from within him, enveloping him in a golden halo, making him stand out conspicuously in the center of the arena.

The audience cheered for Lucy, and a roar of applause erupted from the stands.

Wow! That's amazing!

"Old ginger is spicier! Fairy Tail is too strong!"

"Buy the opposite of the Magic Fighter, and you'll get a villa by the sea!"

The others nearby thought it made sense, so they quickly took advantage of the high odds and went to bet on Fairy Tail to win the championship.

Some people reached for their wallets, others rummaged through their pockets, each moving faster than the last.

On the stands of the Fairy Tail guild.

Makarov coughed twice, cleared his throat, and lowered his voice.

"Macao, how's the task I assigned you going?"

"Don't worry, President, I got it all arranged before the competition started."

Macao patted his chest, making a loud thud with his palm against his chest.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all, as expected of the fourth generation chairman."

Makarov deliberately dragged out the word "chairman".

"Oh, you're joking, President."

Macao twisted his body, a smile plastered on his face.

"Ha ha..."

Macao and Makarov laughed, their arms around each other's shoulders, their laughter growing louder and louder, echoing in the Fairy Tail stands.

The two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders, their heads close together, laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.

The guild members quietly moved aside, suddenly unwilling to admit that these two were the current and former guild leaders.

A cloud drifted in, blocking the sun, and the arena darkened.

As soon as the light went out, the entire venue was shrouded in shadow.

[Cancer - Sparkling Galaxy]

Lucy charged toward Freya, her twin swords slashing across each other, the blades leaving two streaks of light in the darkened arena, the interplay of light creating a dazzling star map.

Freya was struck by the back of the blade, swayed, rolled her eyes, and fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Another round of cheers erupted from the audience, wave after wave of applause.

"Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail!"

Lucy gracefully sheathed her sword, stood in the center of the arena, her chest rising and falling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She accepted the audience's praise, a smile she couldn't suppress playing on her lips.

The commentator Chapati, wiped his sweat; his handkerchief was soaked through. He didn't know why he was sweating so much.

"It seems Fairy Tail is going to reclaim its throne! Let's cheer for Fairy Tail!"

"The next 1v1 duel will be between... Wendy from Fairy Tail Elite Team and Sherria from Lamia Scale!"

The audience saw two adorable girls competing, and the cheers were even louder than before, with whistles and screams mingling together.

Wendy and Sherria jogged into the arena, their steps light and quick as they reached the center.

The two of them simultaneously tripped and fell flat on their faces.

Wendy tripped over her right foot with her left, Sherria tripped over her left with her right, both of them simultaneously lunging forward and bracing themselves on the ground with their hands, their steps perfectly synchronized.

The commentator Chapati, wiped his sweat.

"This entrance was quite novel; it must have left a deep impression on everyone."

The two little ones below exchanged a glance, both chuckled awkwardly, and got up, dusting off their hands.

Hello, my name is Wendy.

"My name is Sherria, nice to meet you."

Jenny watched them huddle together, their hands supporting their chins, their eyes crinkling into crescents.

"She's so cute, only slightly less so than I was when I was a child."

The two little ones spread out, got into position, and started to look serious.

A gust of wind swept across the field, and two streams of air exploded from the two men simultaneously, colliding and stirring up dust from the ground.

Sherria exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in astonishment.

"You also use wind magic?!"

Wendy nodded, her fists clenched, her gaze resolute.

"Yes, I am a Dragon Slayer from the Sky Dragons!"

"Great! I am the God-Slaying Mage of the Heavenly Gods!"

Sherria's arms were wrapped in black whirlwind, the air currents swirling from her fingertips to her shoulders, making a whooshing sound.

Natsu, standing in the stands, pointed at Sherria, his finger poking at the air.

"Huh, it uses the same magic as that guy on Tenrou Island... what was his name again?"

"I think his name is Zancrow?"

Lucy for a moment, tapping her chin with her finger. She didn't quite remember; she'd only heard Natsu mention it briefly.

The two below had already begun fighting, the winds colliding and producing muffled thuds.

Wendy and Sherria both had whirlwinds wrapped around their hands, engaging in close-quarters combat.

Fists and feet clashed, back and forth, and wind blades flew everywhere between the two.

[Rasengan]

A sphere appeared in Wendy's right hand, containing multiple spiraling turbulent currents. The air currents swirled wildly inside, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

He raised his palm and slammed it towards Sherria, pushing the sphere forward with his palm.

Sherria raised her arms to defend herself, crossing them in front of her chest.

The impact pushed her backward a short distance, leaving two marks on the ground with the soles of her feet.

She used the momentum to jump backward, landed lightly, and stood still before speaking.

"That's an interesting move, I'll try it too."

Sherria tried to condense Rasengan in her palm, her fingertips clenching together as the energy flowed into her hand.

It only condensed into a counter-clockwise spiral storm, much simpler than Wendy's, with only one layer of rotation.

She stuck out her tongue, the tip peeking out from the corner of her mouth.

"That's all we can do."

Wendy didn't stop Sherria; she waited obediently with her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly.

Riyao smacked his lips.

"These two girls have even started chatting."

Since Mirajane had nothing better to do, she ran her fingers through Riyao's hair and braided a long braid.

Her braid hung down from the back of her head to her lower back.

"I feel like Sherria and Wendy are similar, especially in terms of personality."

"Wendy doesn't like fighting, but Sherria is a little battle maniac."

As the two were talking, the two little ones below started fighting again, exchanging blows and kicks once more.

Wendy opened her mouth to inhale air, and as she opened her mouth, airflow poured into her mouth from all directions, causing her chest to bulge.

Sherria's eyes shone even brighter, her pupils sparkling.

"You can eat air too! I'll try it too!"

She opened her mouth and began to inhale air, her cheeks puffing out roundly.

[The Sky Dragon's Roar]

[Sky God's Bellow]

A white spiral storm and a black spiral storm were simultaneously spewed from their mouths and collided.

Two streams of air collided in the center of the field, creating a huge cyclone.

A strong wind swept through the area, whipping everyone's hair into a mess and making their clothes flutter loudly.

She took out a comb at night and calmly combed her hair with elegant movements.

"Man~"

Wendy and Sherria both had injuries, with several tears in their clothes and bloodstains on their arms.

Sherria opened her mouth and swallowed a few more mouthfuls of air, the air rushing into her mouth.

Her injuries healed quickly, and the bloodstains disappeared at a visible speed.

Wendy's little face looked miserable, her brows furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line.

How can we fight this? Our self-healing ability is no match for theirs.

"I'm coming!"

[The Sky God's Boreas]

Sherria conjured two spiraling black winds in her hands, the black air swirling in her palms and gradually merging into a massive horizontal hurricane that locked onto Wendy, the wind pressure crushing down from the front.

Wendy narrowed her eyes, her pupils shrinking to two small dots.

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art Technique: Illumination - Sky Piercer]

Surrounded by multiple layers of wind barriers, the air currents swirled around his body, then compressed instantly, converging all the air currents into a single, penetrating shockwave that blasted out from his hand.

Riyao pulled Mirajane into his arms, shielding her with his arm, and turned his body so that his back was to the center of the field.

A gale stronger than before swept across the entire stadium, the wind pressure crushing the stands and making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Many items in the stands were blown into the air; hats, tissues, and snack bags spun and drifted away.

When the storm subsided and the wind stopped, everything became quiet.

Wendy lay on the ground, her chest heaving, her lips pursed, and a little water welled up in her eyes, but it didn't fall.

Riyao jumped off the stands, landing silently, and quickly walked to Wendy's side.

He bent down and picked up Wendy, supporting her back with one hand and placing his other palm on her forehead. Green light surged into her, and her injuries were instantly healed.

We'll concede defeat in this match.

"I'm sorry, I lost."

Wendy mumbled something under her breath, her voice muffled, and buried her face in Riyao's chest.

Back in the stands, Riyao helped her into a seat.

Riyao patted her head and gently rubbed her hair twice with his palm.

"It's alright, you're still young and haven't activated your Dragon Force yet. You'll still be at a disadvantage if you encounter God Slayer Magic."

Mirajane also came over and gently poked Wendy's cheek with her finger.

Wendy still has room to grow, take it slow, no rush.

Wendy sniffed and nodded.

The commentator Chapati, wiped the sweat from his brow.

"The victor of this duel is Sherria of the Lamia Scale! Let's cheer for her!"

Sherria ran over and pulled Wendy, wanting to be friends.
