Lucy was taken aback by Yukino's words. "Thirteen gates? Did she just say thirteen gates?"
"What's wrong, Lucy?" Wendy asked when she saw Lucy's appearance.
"The keys to the Zodiac Twelve Gates are twelve in total, just as their name suggests, but I've heard rumors that the thirteenth key can summon an unknown Celestial Spirit that transcends the Zodiac Twelve Gates!" Lucy explained.
"Open! Ophiuchus Gate! Ophiuchus!" A gigantic serpent-like Celestial Spirit appeared, lunging at Kagura as if to tear Kagura apart;
"The Grudge Blade, Fearless Sky! Unsheathed! The Katana Style!" The enormous Serpent Throne Celestial Spirit was cleaved into four parts;
"No, no way!" Yukino exclaimed in surprise.
"Not everyone is that monster Chen Fan! Your bet is too hasty!" Kagura suddenly appeared next to Yukino and said.
Yukino was knocked to the ground immediately;
"The match is over! The winner is Mermaid Heel! Kagura Mikazuchi. Sabertooth actually scored 0 points in the second day's match!"
"Your life is mine now!" Kagura said as she turned to leave; "Understood..."
"There are now Four Beasts. Who do they want to challenge?" The last team of the day has the greatest advantage; they can send out anyone to challenge anyone.
Bacchus, who won first place in today's chariot race, roared with laughter, "Who will we challenge? The Strongest Man in the Kingdom of Fiore, of course! Our souls must be wild..."
"Awooo..." The other teammates cheered;
"Dad...! It's your turn again...! Defeat him...!" the two children cheered for Chen Fan.
"Go for it, honey!" Mavis said.
Chen Fan smiled and jumped off the spectator stands.
"Oh... it seems the captain of Fairy Tail S-Team, the Strongest Man in the Kingdom of Fiore, has accepted the challenge. We know Bacchus is an extremely powerful mage; I'm sure this will be a thrilling match."
"Should we also make a bet? A bet that if someone loses, they have to..." Bacchus said arrogantly.
"The match begins!"
"Boom..." Bacchus was kicked directly into the wall by Chen Fan, leaving a human-shaped hole;
KO! Everyone in the audience was stunned. Goldman, the leader of the Four Beasts, immediately covered his face, "What an idiot! Why did he have to provoke Chen Fan for no reason!"
"Boom..." The audience cheered for Chen Fan again. This is what the Strongest Man should be like. The second day of the competition ended amidst everyone's shouts for Chen Fan.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Guilds
Sabertooth Guild Hall;
Jieman, the guild leader of Sabertooth, was reprimanding everyone in the guild standing in the main hall;
"You're utterly unworthy of sympathy, you can't even squeeze out a tear, you bunch of useless trash!!"
"Think carefully about why we stand at the top of the Mage Guild. Don't bother with the ants around us, don't waste time talking to them, just crush them. We need to focus on things that are more important."
"Roaring Heavens! Boiling Earth! A Silent Seas! This is the Sabertooth!"
"Rufus!" Jieman called out.
"Here!" Rufus said, taking off his hat.
