A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

boom--!

The fairy bomb exploded in the air, and Valkyrie used the wind pressure to accelerate her descent, landing perfectly with a thud.

Chapter 160 If one person can't beat them, use a war of attrition.

"They actually managed to escape the Fairy Bomb attack, they're pretty good!"

Abba Greene danced lightly with her fan, her posture elegant, but her expression was arrogant and smug, much like some villains.

Balgo is a skilled fighter. Even without looking into the enemy's eyes, she can judge the opponent's movements by the shadows on the ground and other limbs. However, if the opponent is in the air, it is easy to be hit once they look up.

"Princess, why can't you look into her eyes?"

Lucy explained, "If you make eye contact with her, you'll be petrified."

Barugo thought for a moment and said, "This opponent's magic is troublesome, Princess, perhaps you could give it a try..."

Lucy was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Try what? Do you have a way?"

Punish me!

"Give me something useful!!"

At that moment, the fairy magic struck again: "Fairy Machine Gun!"

The two looked up at the sky upon hearing the sound, and saw countless magical needle-shaped bombs gathered in the sky, centered on Abbagrim's body. The area was so vast that it was astonishing. The bombs were densely packed and covered the sky, all flying towards Lucy's direction.

Baroque promptly picked up Lucy and ran. She was so fast that even the machine gun bullets couldn't catch up, but she stirred up a strong wind that lifted Lucy's skirt, revealing her cleavage.

The time was short, fleeting, but the scene was beautiful and breathtaking.

Originally, given that the other two battles featured more famous fighters, the audience's attention was focused on the other side, and this side didn't attract much attention. But as the saying goes, the world is not lacking in beauty, but in eyes that can see it; a large forest has all kinds of birds; the audience's eyes are discerning…

In short, some viewers have an eye for beauty.

They "happened" to see this scene, their eyes instantly turned into hearts, and then they "accidentally" said it out loud. After a few seconds of whispering, many male viewers shifted their attention from the magical battle next door to the screen here, and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Is that girl a rookie mage from Fairy Tail?"

"So...so cute..."

"So exciting!"

"I saw it! It's white...white..."

"Hey, hey, this is a serious competition, right?"

Lucy, in her panic, was certainly unaware of all this, and it's unclear whether Baloo knew or whether it was intentional.

After a round of machine gun fire, the bombardment stopped, and Balgo put Lucy down: "Princess, I'm going back to the Celestial Realm now."

After saying that, he disappeared with a bang.

"What?! You just abandoned me like that?!" Lucy panicked and tears streamed down her face.

A new wave of attacks began, with bombs that were both numerous and fast. Seeing that they were about to hit Lucy, she had no choice but to run in another direction, hoping to shake off the bullets.

Behind her, a bomb exploded, followed by a violent chain of explosions. Lucy felt a strong gust of wind blowing from behind her, but then everything went quiet.

Looking back in confusion, he discovered that the bomb was closely following him under Abbagrin's control!

Lucy broke down in tears, her footsteps quickening again: "Help!!!"

Boom boom boom!

Lucy ultimately couldn't escape the pursuit of the magic bullet. The explosions roared continuously, whipping up violent gusts of wind that rushed in all directions, causing Abba Green's sleeves to flutter wildly.

Even his teammates couldn't stand such a powerful attack. Dorell spoke up, saying, "Hey... isn't this attack a bit too heavy?"

Abba Greene flew through the air, the decorations on the back of her clothes making her look like a real fairy: "Now she's my opponent, what I do is none of your business!"

"How could you say that?! Even if it's a competition opponent, this isn't magic that should be used on a teammate!!"

Ignoring her teammates' questions, Abba Grin turned her gaze back to the battlefield, where smoke and dust filled the air and there was no movement.

The ground was bombarded, but there was no one there; Lucy was nowhere to be found.

"Where is everyone?" Abba Green looked around and quickly discovered something strange: in the center of the explosion, there was a crater about half a meter in diameter.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the pit, bearing a pink guild crest. Then, a left hand followed. With a combined effort, Lucy slowly crawled out, saying with lingering fear, "That was close!"

"It's a critical moment, Princess!"

It was Baloo who returned at the last minute and dug a hole to avoid the explosion.

"Thank goodness you're back, but... why did you leave so suddenly?"

Balgo took something out of her bosom: "I specially went back to the Celestial Spirit Realm to get something, it should be useful to you."

"This is?"

"I borrowed it from the telescope holder. Since it's magic that requires eye contact, I'll just wear the glasses."

The item in the singer's bag was, surprisingly, a pair of glasses!

Lucy was overjoyed: "Well done, Baloo! Now we don't have to worry about the petrification magic anymore!"

Abba Greene naturally noticed the glasses on their faces and said smugly, "Think you can win just by wearing glasses? How naive!"

Upon hearing this, Lucy looked at Baloo.

"Don't worry, Princess!" Balug said confidently. "Her physical skills aren't strong. As long as I don't worry about that petrification magic, I can definitely defeat her!"

"really?"

"If I can't do it, then please punish me as you please, Princess!"

At that moment, a voice rang out: "The outcome of the battle between the red and blue teams is decided. Congratulations to the red team for their victory!"

Abba Greene: "..."

Lucy: "..."

Baruka: "..."

"Princess, you may punish me as you please!"

Lucy sighed helplessly, "Never mind, you should go back..."

……

Let's rewind a few minutes...

When Gray returned to the vicinity of the Crystal Tower, he was met not with a magical feast, but with a warriors' revelry.

The red and white figures wielded twin swords, thrusting, slashing, parrying, and chopping with fluid, graceful swordsmanship; the blue and black figures swung their staffs with both hands, striking forward, retreating, bending to the left, and returning to the right with seamless spear techniques.

The ice cube he was using to reduce swelling fell to the ground with a thud. Gray rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "What happened? This person is Mystogan? Mystogan fights like this?"

In his memory, besides being taciturn and having a withdrawn personality, Mystogan should also have the label of being very powerful in magic—oh, right, Kira seemed to have said before that Edolas don't have magic, so did he also learn a set of staff techniques?

"As expected of Mystogan, he can fight Erza for so long without using magic, that's amazing..."

Clang!

Noticing Gray's arrival, the two tacitly slashed at each other with their swords and staffs, simultaneously using the momentum to jump back and pause to rest.

Did Elfman lose?

Mistgang exhaled a breath of stale air: "Phew... I'll leave the rest to you."

Gray was caught off guard: You want me to fight Erza? Are you trying to kill me?

"What do you mean by handing it over to me? Mystergan, you..."

Mystergan turned his head and said softly, "My magic is ineffective against her. We've reached our limit by now."

"No, I wanted to ask, what are your magic wands made of? That was a metallic sound just now, wasn't it? Are your magic wands originally made of metal? Don't you find it heavy to carry five of them on your back?"

Mystergang: "..."

He stared at Gray silently for two seconds, then turned and backed away, the meaning clear: I'm tired, let's take turns, you go next!

It seems that in order to achieve a slim chance of victory, I have no choice but to take a beating?

Gray hesitated.

In contrast, Erza was much more direct, turning her sword around: "Come on, Gray!"

"Hey...wait a minute!"

Calling for a halt had little effect; it was safe to say that such words were of no use to Erza, who was caught up in the heat of battle. She charged straight at Gray, raising her longsword, and when she was about three meters in front of him, she suddenly stomped her foot, her calf muscles exploding as she spun around and jumped, swinging her longsword upwards at an angle.

"Damn it! Ice-made..."

Faced with imminent danger, Gray could only react passively. His hands instinctively reached for his left hip, then snapped back, and his right hand drew out a massive ice sword as if drawing a blade: "Ice Demon Sword!"

It also slashed upwards at an angle, crossing and striking Erza's sword in mid-air, producing a crisp sound.

Both the iron sword and the ice sword were sharp, but the iron sword was clearly superior. It cut a small notch in the ice sword, causing the blade to shatter and several tiny, almost imperceptible ice shards to fall to the ground.

"Can I surrender?"

"Idiot, that could get us accused of cheating!"

It was phrased very tactfully, but with Gray's emotional intelligence, he understood perfectly: Dream on!

Chapter 161 Preliminary Round Ends

Since a fight is inevitable, the only option is to strike first!

Gray roared, gripped the massive sword with both hands, leaped up, and slashed downwards, the silver necklace around his neck jingling as it struck his bare chest.

Before the heavy blow could hit its target, two flashes of sword light appeared, and Erza spun around, wielding her sword and slicing the giant ice sword into three pieces.

Just as they finished posing, Gray's attack came again!

"Big Hammer Soldier!"

An ice hammer descended from the sky. Kira had said that the best opportunity to attack is when the opponent is in the air! But Erza was not lacking in flying abilities. She flapped her Black Feather Armor wings and dodged backward.
