Lucy Favored by the Goddess of Luck (Second Update)
Water Stream Restraint, Juvia's signature water True Magic.
Once hit, the body will be suspended in the water sphere and unable to move, eventually leading to suffocation and death.
"Water-Make: Water Slicer!"
Seeing that the water sphere had trapped George, Juvia did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately conjured more than a dozen water blades and slashed at George from all directions.
George, however, didn't care.
"Apparition".
With a flash, he instantly teleported away from the water sphere and appeared not far behind Juvia, dodging all the attacks.
"Seven Hundred Million Volts!"
A powerful electric current erupted from George's body, flowing along the water on the ground and striking the hydrated Juvia.
Water can ignore any physical attack, but it cannot make you immune to True Magic attacks.
In addition, lightning True Magic is inherently effective against water True Magic, and Juvia was immediately electrocuted and released from her water form.
"Water-Make: Water Whip!"
Despite the spasms and tremors in her body caused by the electric current, Juvia controlled the water whip to lash out at George, trying to stop George from releasing the current any further.
However, George's body flashed with lightning speed, and he easily dodged the water whip attack, arriving in front of her with his petite cat body.
"I'm sorry, Juvia."
The wand touched Juvia's forehead.
"Stupefy!"
Juvia immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"Ring number eight, winner: George!"
Mirajane saw that the match had ended and flew over to announce the result loudly.
Meanwhile, the group of eliminated Fairy Tail mages who were watching also started discussing among themselves.
"Juvia is S-Class, yet she was defeated by George so easily. George's strength is getting stronger and stronger."
Most of the Fairy Tail mages were unaware of the specifics of the Tower of Paradise incident, and their understanding of George's strength was still based on his time fighting Phantom Lord.
Back then, George was strong, but not as strong as he is now. He fought S-Class Juvia with ease, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not even in the same league.
After lifting Juvia's Stunning Spell, George also began to keep an eye on the matches in other rings.
Laxus is indeed strong, and he can basically defeat his enemies in one move. This time, he fought Sarusuke from Levy Team, who was also quite strong, and he was also defeated in one move.
In the battle between Evergreen Elfman, Elfman could only fight with his eyes closed due to his Stone Eyes. In addition, Evergreen could also fly, and in the end, he was petrified and suffered a crushing defeat.
Levy Gajeel, but George could tell that Gajeel had held back. The reason for this is intriguing.
The most eye-catching and longest fight was between Gray and Bickslow. The two were evenly matched, and in the end, they almost simultaneously ran out of magic, were seriously injured, and fell unconscious, resulting in a draw.
However, due to the severity of their injuries, they were unable to continue to the next round and were eliminated.
Therefore, there were a total of thirteen winners in the final third round.
George, Laxus, Erza, Evergreen, Levy, Freed, Cana, Macao, Wakaba, Bisca, Alzack Warren, and Lucy.
Good job, Lucy has also made it into the top thirteen.
In George's opinion, Lucy is actually quite capable; she just lacks confidence.
Aside from the other Aspects, Aquarius and Leo alone would be considered S-Class Aspects spirits by any other magic guild.
Therefore, in a real battle, Lucy's strength definitely gives her a chance to enter the top ten of the guild.
Today, she obviously didn't need much strength because she was too lucky. In the fourth round of the draw, she got a bye and was directly promoted to the top seven without having to fight.
"Natsu, that's awesome! I made it into the top seven, which means I'll get a 50,000 yen bonus, and my rent for next month will be taken care of."
After Lucy finished drawing lots, she excitedly ran over to tell Natsu, who was sitting on the ground.
Natsu was still depressed about his defeat to Erza in the second round, and when he heard Lucy's words, he replied weakly:
"Why didn't you take the free dormitory provided by the guild and insisted on renting a place outside?"
"I still prefer living alone; it gives me more freedom."
Lucy comforted Natsu when she saw he was in a bad mood:
"Don't be discouraged. It's normal to lose to Erza. She's Erza, after all."
Happy, sitting next to Natsu, pulled a fish out of his small bag and ate it while complaining:
"They're having an affair!"
In the fourth round, across six arenas, George's opponent this time was relatively weak: Warren Rocko, who was skilled in Telepathy Magic. He was basically going to end the fight with one blow.
Telepathy Magic is similar to Psychic Abilities; it allows one to read minds during battle and transmit sound within a certain range.
Unfortunately, Warren couldn't read George's mind, which possessed Psychic Abilities and Brain-in-a-jar.
George was quite interested in Telepathy Magic, because he felt that learning it would enhance his Psychic Abilities and the effects of Legilimency.
After returning from the Hundred Year Quest, he plans to include this series of True Magic in his learning plan.
After defeating his opponent, George joined the others to watch matches in other rings.
Not long after, the fourth round ended, and the top seven were determined.
They are George, Laxus, Erza, Evergreen, Freed, Cana, and Lucy.
Laxus and the Ravem indeed strong. Apart from Bickslow and Gray being injured and forced to leave the field early, Evergreen and Freed all advanced, and the battles were generally quite easy.
The fifth round of the draw has begun.
Laxus vs. Cana, Erza vs. Evergreen, George vs. Freed, Lucy gets a bye again.
"I must have been blessed by Tymora today!"
Lucy was overjoyed.
Laxus Cana.
Erza's battle against Evergreen was expected to be a fierce fight, but Erza's fake eye allowed her to ignore Evergreen's Stone Eyes and defeat Evergreen in no time, showing Evergreen who the true Queen of Fairies was.
In the final match, George faced Freed.
"I know you are strong, but I must defeat you today, because only in this way can Laxus become the guild master."
Freed stood opposite George and drew his Western Daoist Sword.
"You may not know this, but although I didn't advance to S-Class in the guild, I've defeated quite a few S-Class dark mages outside!"
If he can defeat George in this round, then Laxus will definitely be the Champion of the tournament, thus smoothly taking over the position of chairman.
That newcomer Lucy relied entirely on luck and was not worth mentioning. Although Erza's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations and she defeated Evergreen, she was definitely no match for Laxus.
This George is far too powerful to be fathomed. Whether it's his performance in the intelligence reports or the True Magic he just used to move and cut mountains, it proves that his strength is at least S-Class, and he's a top-tier S-Class expert.
It poses a significant threat to Laxus.
