Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 264
Gradually, it seemed that someone finally realized that this race was a "racing" event and began to run to the normal track.Not only that, seeing the actions of these players, the excited audience also remembered the essence of this game.The strange thing is that as the race officially started, the atmosphere on the scene became deserted-after all, the race is still not as exciting as the big fight!
Once someone starts to set off, the chaotic battle at the starting position will quickly subside. Except for a few people who really have red eyes, no one is willing to lag behind the others too much.

"That's it, after 5 minutes of chaos, our game has finally officially started!" The pumpkin referee announced loudly, trying to revive the atmosphere of the scene.

But the effect is not obvious.Because even the contestants in the competition seemed to be out of shape, and they only cared about keeping a distance from other groups to prevent being attacked; but they didn't mean to "race" at all, and kept moving at a constant speed.

But fortunately, as people refocused their minds and turned their attention back to the competitions, they all began to speed up one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the various traps arranged on the track also began to show their fangs.

Explosions, flames, and screams and exclamations sounded again.

Laxus and Felid are very fast, so they have always been in the leading position, and they just avoided some traps that were triggered with delay.

Running and running, Laxus began to feel bored, and a simple long-distance run really couldn't cheer him up.If it weren't for the rules of the game that required them to "run", he would have already turned into lightning and rushed to the finish line.

Philip followed closely behind, while carefully guarding the environment behind him and around him.

Suddenly, he took a big step forward and blocked Laxus in front of him: "Master Laxus, be careful!"

In front of them, on the wide street stood a magic stone statue, which was the image of a soldier in full armor.Let people know at a glance that it is an obstacle set up in the game.

Laxus dismissed it, ready to strike it with a flash of lightning.

But Philip stopped him: "Don't shoot yet, this is a trap!"

As he said that, the green-haired "Guardian Knight" swiped, and drew out the stabbing sword at his waist; with a flick of his wrist, the slender sword drew a flash of white light and slashed in the air in front of them.

Then, a wall of dark purple runes suddenly appeared in the originally empty air.The magic fluctuations of the magic formula leaked out with the flash of the rune wall. With this brief leak, Laxus grasped the scope and scale of the rune of the magic formula at once.Because of Felid, Laxus and the other two of Thor's congregation are no strangers to word magic.

Laxus felt it carefully for a moment: "What an exaggerated range, are they going to deploy spells on the entire track?"

Philip's pupils became pitch black, and the deep darkness seemed to see the end of this space at a glance: "In fact, my lord, this large array of spells does cover the entire arena. And it's quite a wicked type." .”

Yes, Felipe is very familiar with the spell in front of him - this is the "duel field" rule he used in the goblin civil war, allowing all mages who entered the range to fight each other, and in the end only one person can fight. walk out.

You know, in this game, each team sends two people to form a group to break through together.So in theory, two people in the same group will act together, so once they fall into this trap, it will inevitably be a cruel situation of cannibalism!
Laxus remained silent. After all, he had led similar "games", and it felt a bit like he was facing his dark history.

Intense lightning gathered in his hands, intending to violently break the trap from the outside.

"Leave it to me!" Philip said quickly, "It will save a lot of effort if I handle it. Don't worry, I will solve it soon."

As he spoke, Felid raised his rapier, shaking out a delicate and beautiful sword flower in the air.He drew his sword much faster again.

Felid is good at writing runes with a sword, and his speed is extremely fast, so he can use word magic to fight.So having a good sword has a great influence on his strength.

Phillip's original customary weapon was cut off by Woz during the civil war, and he has been using a spare weapon since then, so his strength is limited to a certain extent, and he is a little powerless on Sirius Island.

Of course, Philip didn't sit still. He customized a new rapier long after the original rapier was broken.

Later, along with the other members of the Sirius group, Philip was sealed and slept for seven years. It was not until recently that he remembered that he still had a weapon that he hadn't picked up.Fortunately, the custom-made weapon is an old family of magic craftsmen, and the other party helped him keep the rapier. After paying the final payment and a certain amount of storage fee, Felid finally re-equips it completely!

What satisfied Philip the most was the name of this rapier sword - "Stabbed"!In addition to the first-class material and craftsmanship, all the magical effects it adds are "acceleration", which allows users to easily use skills such as "sonic sword".

Under Felid's control, such as ordinary text magic, it can be almost "instant".

It was precisely because he had sufficient confidence in his own speed that he volunteered to decipher the spell array.

I saw Fei Lide swiping a few swords, but the sword shadow was not seen, so he turned his head and said, "Okay, you can move on."

With a high-level text mage sitting in charge, Laxus and his group advanced rapidly.Knowing that there are arrays of spells all over the place, Felid is also mentally prepared to open his "dark eyes" at all times, and the runes hidden in the air can't be hidden.They go around if they can, and if they can't go around, they go up and swipe a few swords to break through.In the end, the two of them didn't even bother to take another detour, and just crushed them all the way. All the traps of the spells were broken into free magic power under the stabbing sword.As for other forms of traps, they were blasted to pieces by Laxus' violent thunder, unable to pose any real threat to the two of them at all.

"I finally know what Kanna's prophecy means." The situation went smoothly, and Laxus couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect that the obstacle setting of this project was mainly based on word magic... This is really a free gift We have won! After all, we have the best word mages here."

When it comes to professional knowledge, Fei Lide is also proud: "Indeed, these spells are all models I have used before. There is nothing new, and they can be easily cracked."

"But why haven't Erza and Leibi appeared yet? This level of obstacles shouldn't be hard for them, right?" Laxus looked back.

Felipe kept his hands on his hands, and while cutting the trap, he responded, "Master Laxus, don't worry, Rebby is a student recognized by Woz, and this level of word magic is not a problem at all, maybe it's just because of the reason for departure." It's late, so I'm a little behind..."

While talking, someone at the end of the street finally caught up.It was a strange figure, and it seemed to be the contestants of those ordinary guilds.They should have followed the blank route left by Felid after he cracked the spell.Laxus and the others didn't care about this, and continued to move forward according to the original rhythm.

But the mages behind did not intend to let it go. They didn't even realize that they could get here safely because of the shadow of Philip. All they wanted in their hearts was to kill all the opponents in front of them.

Several magic and enchanted arrows hit Felid mercilessly—although they had entered a state of frenzy, their remaining rationality still made these people subconsciously avoid Laxus. They knew that this blond man was Absolutely untouchable existence!
Philip didn't turn his head back, but he was already aware of the magic that was attacking him, and he stabbed back with his sword backhand with a sneer. There was a layer of blue lightning on the slender sword of "Thundering Electricity", and his sword strikes pierced towards those magicians as fast as lightning.

But no matter how fast Felid's sword is, it is only "as fast as lightning", which is still a bit slower than real lightning.Before he stabbed the attack magic, several golden lightning bolts blasted the target first.

"Master Laxus!" Felipe looked at his side quite moved.

"Go ahead, don't worry about those trash!" Laxus smirked and twisted his neck, looking at those who attacked with predatory eyes.Because the competition is so boring, it is necessary to find some fun activities!
But just when Laxus was about to release a large lightning strike, he saw the air around those people suddenly twist abnormally, and a dark purple rune wall quietly appeared, twisting again, like opening a sheet of blood. Take a big mouthful and swallow them in one gulp!
When those magicians came back to their senses, they realized that they were already in the "duel field" of the spell array!Only one person could go out, and they immediately became wary of the others around them.But before they could analyze the form, a Fairy Queen appeared in the array.

"Tianlun, the lingering sword!" The queen spread her steel wings majestically, and more than a dozen sharp swords fluttered out from behind, killing all opponents in a single blow.

After doing all this, Erza changed back to her daily armor and broke out.

Immediately, Lebby also walked out of the array of spells, and was led by Erza to rush forward quickly.

"Come on! We're catching up with you!" Rebby happily greeted Laxus and Felid, but they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and simply overtook them.

Felid drew his last sword, finally breaking through the trap in front of him, and then said with a helpless smile: "That girl Leibi... seems to be able to control this large array of spells."

That alone would have ensured their victory.And no matter how hard Philip tried, he could only compete for No.2!Just thinking about it made Felid feel like he was losing motivation.

At this time, in the stands of the arena, the atmosphere in the area where Fairy Tail was located was relaxed and joyful.When they discovered that the obstacles on the track were mainly word magic, the goblins knew they would win this round.

President Makarov sighed with emotion: "If Woz is on the stage, can you directly control this magic formation and kick everyone else out?"

Woz shook his head: "If I use my words to set up the arena, it can indeed be done, but to be honest, I'm not very good at this kind of magic words. I'm not as good at it as Philip and Lebby. .”

"That's it." The president nodded without too much regret, "After all, you have promised not to participate. But is it really okay to reach an agreement with the other party so simply? In the end, the power of the chess player is also an opponent. A kind of existence, right?"

Woz said: "Don't worry, old man! Even if he is an opponent, he is mine alone, not the guild's opponent. Strictly speaking, the Balance Organization is still our reliable ally. Do you know that in the past few years, their People are fighting against the Alvarez Empire! I have to return this favor to the chess player."

Mirajane asked suddenly: "So, Woz, what else did you agree to?"

Woz replied: "Don't worry too much, it's just to help his people maintain the order of the Damo Dou performance."

……

The competition became intense and exciting... except for the two Fairy Tail teams that were on the verge of being crushed.The audience's emotions were mobilized again.There was bursts of cheers and applause at the scene.

At this moment, everyone in Crocas was paying attention to the game. Except for the sound of the rebroadcast, the whole city fell into silence, and the functions of the huge city seemed to have stopped functioning.

However, under this peaceful surface, there are many things that are not known to ordinary people.

In a certain corner of the city, in a remote narrow alley, a thrilling and weird fierce battle came to an end.

It's weird because the two sides of the battle are robots and monsters.It is thrilling because the battle erupted only for a few tens of seconds, but the winner and loser have already been decided, life and death have been decided!

What fell on the ground was a fat robot with a bloated shape. His body was torn into several large pieces, which were scattered within an average range of ten meters around; Very miserable.

On the other side, two "monsters" were also knocked down. These humanoid monsters about two meters tall had a dragon-like appearance, dragon-like scales, dragon-like claws and tails.Generally speaking, it is a human-shaped dragon, or something like a dragon-shaped person.

The corpses of the two dragon monsters that were knocked down quickly evaporated in the air, turning into a dense black mist and dissipating.

Then, the remaining dragon monsters also sank quietly, disappearing into the shadow of the alley.

These dragon monsters obviously don't have high intelligence. They didn't notice that the eyes of the robots scattered on the ground were still flickering faintly, recording everything that happened in front of them.

A part of the chest that had been part of it suddenly lit up, casting the influence of a missionary in the air beside it.

"Tsk, tsk, what a miserable scene!" The missionary saw everything here through the influence of the nostalgia, "Val, have you been attacked by the dragon soldiers too? Are you still alive, hello!"

"Nonsense, this is just a stand-in for me!" An impatient voice came from the robot's head, "And this is an engineering model used to prepare for the competition, it is not a body specially used for combat at all!"

"Okay, okay!" the missionary interrupted, "I didn't mean to laugh at you, this time I should finally be able to discover the true colors of those dragon soldiers, right? With the information you recorded..."

"Of course! Then hurry up and recover me! I can't move now!"
