"Now that Nirvana has been found, you all need to deal with it as soon as possible." Angel Angel looked at everyone with a mischievous grin.
"Sagittarius, what are you waiting for?!"
After receiving the order, the fake Lucy turned around and sternly urged the Sagittarius Celestial Spirit.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, I don't want to do this, but my body... my body won't listen to me!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Sagittarius finished speaking, several arrows immediately attacked Lucy and the others. Lucy and the others quickly dodged, while Carla and Wendy flew rapidly into the sky.
"Bang! Bang!" The sound of arrows exploding.
"Lucy, isn't this your Celestial Spirit? Why can you control this fake one too?"
While dodging, Natsu also shouted to Lucy, and at some points even blocked several arrows for Lucy.
"This is Gemini, one of the Twelve Golden Zodiac Keys. When you transform into someone else, you can fully utilize that person's Magic."
"Ah~" An arrow struck the target.
While they were already fighting Racer, their Magic Power was almost depleted. Under such a dense barrage of attacks, they were caught off guard and were hit in the shoulder.
"Hey! Are you alright?"
"It's alright, just be careful!" Hibiki hid behind a big tree.
"In that case, I have no choice but to beat you down!"
Natsu's body erupted in flames, and he accelerated towards Angel, aiming to capture the leader first, ignoring Sagittarius and Gemini beside him.
Angel stood still, not dodging, but simply smiling faintly at Natsu, while shouting, "Sagittarius, stop him!"
"What?"
Natsu was startled when he saw Sagittarius suddenly appear in front of Angel. He tried to retract his punch, but it was too late, and he sent Sagittarius flying with a single blow.
Before slowly disappearing, Sagittarius said to the real Lucy, "Lady Lucy, I'll definitely be of help next time, hey hey."
"Ice-Make Assault Spear" fired several ice spikes at Natsu was still stunned, sending Natsu flying far away.
Natsu!
"Sagittarius!" Lucy shouted as she watched the scene unfold, but it was no use; there was nothing she could do at that moment.
"Haha, it seems the Fire Dragon in Fairy Tail isn't all that great after all!" Angel taunted as she looked at Natsu was now lying on the ground.
"Damn it, I was careless! I won't do it again this time!" Natsu rolled over, about to rush towards Angel for his next attack, when a voice stopped Natsu.
"Natsu, leave this woman to me! I'm Celestial Spirit Mage too, I'll take her down one-on-one." Lucy's face was unusually calm, as if she had made up her mind, her eyes unusually firm.
"Lucy ~" Natsu was also stunned when he saw Lucy like this, and murmured.
Then, a wide smile spread across his face as he said, "It's all up to you, Lucy. I believe you can do it."
"Oh, good eyes. But I want all your keys. Let's make a bet: whoever wins gets all the other's keys!"
I won't let you have your way!
The two stood silently facing each other on opposite sides of a river. Carla, carrying the unconscious Wendy, hid beside Hibiki. Natsu, on the other hand, kept a close eye on Lucy, as if acting as a bodyguard, protecting Lucy.
Angel saw the look in Lucy's eyes, and then looked at Natsu behind Lucy, a strange emotion welled up inside her.
Lucy, upon seeing the river, also realized something, certain that she was destined to win, because she had the strongest Celestial Spirit with her.
"Open, Gate of Aquarius - Aquarius"
Angel, seeing Aquarius appear, remained completely calm. "Gemini, close the door."
He casually took out another key.
"Kill her, even if it means taking me with you!"
"Hmph, that's what I planned from the beginning, you brat!" Aquarius said arrogantly, her treasure bottle surging with water, as if she wanted to wash everything away.
"Open, Gate of Scorpio - Scorpio"
Just as Aquarius was about to explode, glaring fiercely at Angel, Scorpio Scorpio made a dashing entrance.
Aquarius immediately dropped her fierce expression, nestling against Scorpio's chest in a soft voice, "Scorpio, darling."
"What!" Lucy exclaimed in shock.
"Are you alright, Aquarius? It's been so long!"
"Mmm, darling, I'm so lonely!"
Aquarius and Scorpio, regardless of whether others were present, began to show their affection in the middle of the river.
Lucy suddenly realized, "Could it be that he's your boyfriend?"
"Nice to meet you, holder of Aquarius!"
"Speaking of which, it's just Aquarius's personality..." Lucy looked at the cool and handsome rapper in front of her, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, thinking of Aquarius's fiery temper. But before she could finish, an angry face was already in front of Lucy: "If you dare to say another word, it won't just be a fight, you know that! Huh!"
"Yes!"
"Aquarius, I know a restaurant where we can see the Northern Lights, let's go eat there!"
"Okay, darling, I'll do whatever you say."
The two Celestial Spirit, seemingly deeply in love, ignored Lucy's desperate pleas behind them and disappeared into the water.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Leo!" Lucy touched the key at her waist, then suddenly remembered something.
"Open, Leo, the Gate of Leo!"
"It's the prince's turn! Don't worry, Lucy, this time it's my turn to protect you!"
After Angel clearly saw the Celestial Spirit Lucy had summoned, she smiled coldly and said, "It seems you still don't understand the relationships between Celestial Spirits!" As she spoke, she switched to another golden key and turned it slightly. "Open, Gate of Aries - Aries."
"What!" Leo's confident expression froze instantly.
"I'm sorry, Leo!"
"Karen Lilica's Celestial Spirit - Aries? Why is she here?" Lucy stared blankly at the scene before her.
The person standing to the side stared blankly at the scene before them. "Karen Lilica!"
"Haha, of course I'm the one who took care of Karen Lilica. That woman was just asking for her own destruction by forcibly opening two doors! Taking her down was only right."
Upon hearing this, Hibiki felt a surge of darkness within him, and though he immediately tried to suppress it, he couldn't stop the pain in his heart. "They actually murdered my girlfriend, Karen Lilica..."
For a moment, thoughts of good and darkness surged and clashed in his mind. Nazhabi and Charlene, who were focused on the battle in the river, did not notice Hibiki's unusual behavior in time.
