Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 218 The Celestial Spirit Mage Abandoned by the Celestial Spirits (Please Subscribe!)

Because of Gray's incredible one-second victory, Emerald has now completely given up on the idea of ​​competing for that bye.

After all, ending a battle in one second is not something you can do on your own; you also need the cooperation of your opponent.

Seeing Karen's extremely unpleasant expression, Emerald didn't think she would surrender so easily.

Actually, Emerald was quite looking forward to fighting Kallen, after all, Kallen was a Celestial Spirit Mage who was quite famous in the magic world.

Jade herself had only recently debuted, and because she was not short of money, she devoted most of her time to spiritual practice, so she was not well-known.

'But why doesn't this Kallen summon her celestial spirits?'
Looking at Karen across from her, Emerald was filled with doubt.

Emerald doesn't summon Celestial Spirits because she is a "New-Style Celestial Spirit Mage," possessing formidable combat power even without summoning Celestial Spirits.

This Kallen is undoubtedly an "old-school celestial spirit mage," yet she doesn't summon celestial spirits during battle. Is this a sign of disrespect?

"Buzz!"

Just as Emerald was completely baffled, Kallen finally made a move, and she began to summon her Celestial Spirits.

"I am the one who connects the path to the Protoss Realm; you, answer my call and pass through the gate. Open, Gate of Aries, Aries!"

With a chant, Kallen continuously channeled magic, but surprisingly, the Celestial Gate did not open.

"The summoning failed?!"

Emerald, who was very principled and did not launch a "sneak attack," was shocked to see this scene.

Karen, a Celestial Spirit Mage who was already somewhat famous, actually failed to even "open the door"?
"No, she's summoning through the double doors!"

Lucy noticed this from the stands at Fairy Tail.

"Double doors?"

Everyone in Fairy Tail looked puzzled. They knew what "double opening" meant, but there were no other Celestial Spirits present. Where was the last Celestial Spirit Kallen summoned?
In the dueling arena, Emerald also realized this, and she immediately became vigilant.

She thought Kallen had already summoned a Protoss and hidden it away.

"This guy"

Moen, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned. He was certain that there were no Protoss on the field.

"This guy's strongest Protoss, Leo, has already been summoned, but... why isn't he here?"

Moen was also very confused about this. What kind of crazy move was Karen making?

Is it because they're afraid of being penalized for summoning the celestial spirit prematurely? That's why they're hesitant to let the Leo celestial spirit participate? Then why summon it in the first place?
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

Karen's outrageous move sparked a brainstorming session among everyone, but she herself was constantly cursing.

"That bastard Leo!!!"

Karen felt immense resentment, all directed at Leo, the Leo Celestial Spirit.

The Leo celestial spirit actually opened the door on its own and then threatened her, demanding that she break her contract with the Aries celestial spirit.

She naturally rejected this unreasonable request outright, so the Leo Celestial Spirit Leo refused to return to the Celestial Realm, occupying her "Summoning Slot" and preventing her from summoning other Celestial Spirits!

Only the powerful Leo Celestial Spirit Leo could do something like this. It can only be said that Kallen's rise and fall were both due to Leo.

She enjoyed the benefits brought by Leo's strength; Leo's great strength helped her make a name for herself. So she also had to bear the consequences of not handling her relationship with the Protoss properly.

"Open, Gate of Aries, Aries!"

Undeterred, Karen tried to open the door again, but unsurprisingly, she failed once more.

Clearly, she was not proficient in using the "double door" technique, and her magic power was insufficient to summon two Zodiac spirits at the same time.

"You damn Aries! Answer me now!"

Instead of looking for the problem within herself after failing to open the gate to summon the Celestial Spirit, Kallen cursed the Aries Celestial Spirit.

In Karen's mind, all of this was caused by the Aries celestial spirit Aries, who dared to instigate the Leo celestial spirit to stand up for her!
"It seems there's been some unexpected situation on your end? Are you going to admit defeat?"

Seeing Karen's fierce and impotent rage, Emerald kindly asked her a question.

In Jade's view, Karen is clearly incapable of fighting in this situation.

"Give up?! I won't give up! Don't look down on me! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Karen showed no appreciation for Emerald's kindness, glaring at her angrily as if they were enemies.

"."

Emerald frowned. She didn't quite understand where this crazy woman's hatred for her came from. They had never even met before.

However, since the other party is so ungrateful, there's no need for her to say anything more; she'll just defeat her directly.

"go to hell!"

Karen snapped her whip and charged at Emerald, venting her anger.

The whip in her hand lashed directly at Emerald's face. Her movements were very practiced, indicating that she had whipped many people, or perhaps even Star Spirits.

"Buzz!"

Emerald frowned, her fingers plucking the lyre in her arms. Magic surged, and a shockwave of blades as thin as lyre strings flew out, directly severing the whip that Kallen was throwing.

Jade was ultimately kind-hearted; the shockwave from the blade only severed the whip and did not attack Karen.

"hateful!"

Seeing her whip cut in half, Karen became even more furious. She didn't want to lose to this guy in front of her, no matter who she was going to lose to!

Without any hesitation, Karen rushed towards Emerald. She didn't think Emerald had shown her mercy; she simply considered it Emerald's mistake.

Moreover, this is a duel after all, and showing mercy is just wishful thinking on Emerald's part. She didn't ask Emerald to show mercy, nor did she say that she would admit defeat if the other party showed mercy.

'She doesn't think I'm bad at close combat, does she?'
Seeing Karen grit her teeth and rush towards her, Emerald found it amusing.

Although she was holding a lyre and seemed to rely mainly on it to fight, she was by no means weak!

"I won't lose!"

Karen charged toward Emerald and threw a punch. She did seem to have some skill; she wasn't completely powerless without the Protoss.

"boom!"

Emerald raised her hand and used her forearm to block the punch. The slight force from the arm armor gave her an understanding of Kallen's strength.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, let's end this farce here."

Emerald's expression turned serious. She was now certain that Karen wasn't hiding any tricks; her magic had indeed malfunctioned.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Karen glared at Emerald. This guy was truly obsessive. Even when the magic malfunctioned, he refused to give up and insisted on fighting.

"Oh!"

With one hand, Emerald easily blocked Karen's wild punch, then raised her foot and kicked Karen away.

As Moen's eldest disciple, Emerald would certainly not only practice magic. After all, according to Moen's theory, a Saint can be bad at magic, but he absolutely cannot be physically weak.

"boom!!!"

Karen was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground, where she got up covered in dust.

"Buzz!"

Emerald strummed her lyre, and her Lyra suit shone brightly, drawing upon the star map in the sky, with starlight showering down upon her.

The familiar scene sent chills down Karen's spine. She recalled the scene of being suppressed by Moen and the terrifying figure in the sky above the "Nord Forest".

"A Serenade for the Journey of Death!"

Jade plucked the strings, and magic erupted with the sound, quickly enveloping the entire dueling arena.

Enveloped in magic, Kallen fell asleep immediately, powerless to resist, thus ending the farce.

"Jadeite wins!"

Moen announced the outcome of the battle, but Emerald was not very happy because it was completely different from what she had expected.

The kind of instant fame she wanted wasn't like this; it should have been a fierce battle where she ultimately triumphed over her powerful rival.

"Karen. What exactly happened?" At this moment, there were many people as disappointed as Emerald, especially the members of the "Azure Pegasus" guild.

They couldn't understand why Kallen didn't summon the Celestials, but instead charged into the battle herself.

"this kid"

On the examiners' panel, the three presidents looked at each other, with Goldman and Makarov both glancing at Bob.

"It seems there's a problem with communication with the Protoss."

Bob looked serious. He had warned Karen about this before, but it was clear that the girl hadn't taken it seriously.

Because of Moen, she may have even intensified her abuse of the Protoss, ultimately leading to the embarrassing situation we see today.

Hopefully, she'll learn her lesson.

Makarov shook his head and spoke with a sigh.

Bob didn't respond, because he knew that if Karen had learned her lesson, she would have changed long ago.

Now that things have come to this, Bob is considering persuading Karen to give up the path of a mage, because he feels that if things continue like this, Karen will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Of course, Bob felt that it would be very difficult to persuade Karen to give up being a mage, as the girl was stubborn and obstinate to an exaggerated degree.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the duel between the two Celestial Spirit Mages ended, and the next battle began.

Elfman and Packas had already taken their places on the field. Packas looked serious and determined to win, while Elfman, encouraged by everyone, was ready to go all out.

"Pakas wins!"

The battle ended quickly. Pakas, being older and more experienced, was indeed superior to Elfman, who was still developing.

Both are close-combat specialists. Pakas is a traditional physical mage, whose magic power and physical abilities completely overwhelm Elfman, making it easy for him to win.

"yeah!!!"

After defeating Elfman, Packas let out an excited shout, not for himself, but for "Four-Headed Hound".

Karen Lilica suffered a shock defeat in the previous match, but after Pacas won this one, he immediately widened the gap between himself and "Blue Pegasus".

Fairy Tail has now won six times, Four-Headed Hound has won four times, and Blue Pegasus has only won two times.

"still have a chance!"

In the waiting area for "Blue Pegasus," Hibiki Retis encouraged her companions.

Of the remaining three matches, there are still two for their "Azure Pegasus" team, and they have a real chance to turn things around!

Although their guild's remaining two opponents are both mages from "Fairy Tail," Pakas has just broken "Fairy Tail's" invincibility, shattering the myth that "Fairy Tail" mages are invincible!

"What Pakas can do, we can do too!"

Hibiki Retis gave himself a pep talk.

Soon, Hibiki Retis's hope turned into despair.

Juvia wins!

"Kana wins!"

In the next two matches, the mages from Fairy Tail were victorious once again.

The myth of Fairy Tail's invincibility continues!

Juvia won a little more easily; her manipulation of water elements far exceeded that of her age, and her talent for "awakened magic" was on full display.

Kana's victory was a bit more difficult, as her opponent, Semis, was a mage with well-rounded offensive and defensive capabilities, while Kana also focused on all-around play.

Comprehensive and balanced can sometimes be described as "mediocre".

Semis was a rather mediocre mage, which is why he lost to Kana, whose talent had not yet been fully developed.

Although Fairy Tail won two more matches, Hibiki Ritis was relieved that Four-Headed Hound didn't win.

If he wins this match, "Blue Pegasus" will only have one less win than "Four-Headed Hound".

"The final match: Lisanna vs. Hibiki Retis!"

Upon hearing Moen call out his name, Hibiki Retis took a deep breath and stepped onto the field. Now, he carried the hopes of "Blue Pegasus" and the last face of "Blue Pegasus" on his shoulders.

However, after seeing the little girl opposite him, Hibiki Retis felt that even if he won, it would be an unfair victory. The cute girl opposite him looked several years younger than him.

"The assessment begins!"

At Moen's command, Xiang Retis immediately used his magic, and a screen and keyboard with magical incantations appeared in front of him, looking just like a virtual computer.

"Flash Strike!"

Although Hibiki Retis felt like he was bullying a child, and a cute little girl at that, at this moment, bearing the identity of "Blue Pegasus," he couldn't care less about that. He had to win no matter what.

"Boom boom boom!"

Several ancient symbols flew out from the screen in front of Hibiki Retis and flew towards Lisanna, exploding around the little girl.

At this moment, Lisanna had just completed receiving the Cat Soul. She nimbly dodged the attacks and charged towards Hibiki Rettis.

"I knew you would do this!"

Hibiki Retis was not surprised by this. He knew what kind of magic the girl in front of him was good at. His ancient script magic was not good at combat, but it was very useful in intelligence. He had already figured out Lisanna's situation.

"Flash Shield!"

Seeing the catgirl rushing towards him and already unleashing her claws, Hibiki Retis waved his hand, and a barrier shimmering with golden light appeared in front of him, blocking Lisanna's claw attack.

"Sorry, little girl, you've already lost."

Looking at Lisanna in front of him, Hibiki Rettis spoke. At this moment, Lisanna was standing on an explosive talisman that Hibiki Rettis had laid out in advance. With just a thought, he could blast Lisanna into the sky.

"when?!"

Lisanna looked surprised; she hadn't noticed the explosive symbols at all.

"While you're frantically dodging the attack."

Hibiki Retis replied with a smile, winking at Lisanna in an attempt to charm her.

"Sigh~"

Lisanna couldn't help but shiver, then immediately took a few steps back and raised her hand.

"I surrender."

Lisanna knew that if she were blown up by these symbols, she would suffer a lot. Although she wouldn't lose her fighting ability directly, she would basically be defeated. So she simply admitted defeat. She didn't think she could achieve anything this time anyway.

"Ring Retis wins."

Moen appeared and announced the outcome of the battle.

Don't be discouraged, try again next time.

After announcing the results, Moen smiled and patted Lisanna on the head, comforting the child. This time, only Elfman and Lisanna, the brother and sister, were eliminated in the first round, and he was quite worried that the two siblings would be discouraged.

"Okay! Come again next time!"

Lisanna clenched her fist and smiled in response to Moen, indicating that Moen didn't need to worry about her.

"."

Seeing the harmonious scene before him, Hibiki Retis's lips twitched. Even the joy of victory had faded a bit. This girl wasn't like this when she was facing him just now. She avoided him like the plague. Did his charm no longer work?
"The first round of assessments has concluded. Gray from the Fairy Tail guild has received a bye. After a short rest, the second round of the draw will begin immediately."

After Lisanna and Hibiki Rettis left the stage, Moen did not leave but immediately announced the arrangements for the next stage.

The only bye spot was decided, and Gray, who finished the battle in one second, undoubtedly secured the spot, becoming the first player to advance to the quarterfinals.

"You guys need to work hard and try to make sure all eight of you are from Fairy Tail!"

In the waiting area, Gray stood with his hands in his pockets, looking like a cool and aloof guy. Having already advanced, he certainly had the right to say that to everyone.

"This won't be easy. The second round could be a civil war, and I won't hold back."

Erza looked serious. Of course, she also hoped that the second round would not be an internal battle, but the possibility of that was obviously very slim, since so many people from Fairy Tail had advanced.
