"Lucy?"
Wendy on the stage couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"It seems this so-called Kingdom Guard is barely adequate in terms of strength!" Erza calmly observed the enemy below, analyzing.
"I believe in Lucy, she can definitely do it!" Natsu leaned on the railing, his eyes firm, a cheerful smile on his face.
At this moment, Lucy was gritting her teeth, doing her utmost to resist the pull of the suction.
She knew she couldn't let this power succeed, and with one hand, she took out the Leo key.
"Open, gate of Leo—Leo!!"
She resolutely summoned Loki. With Loki's powerful strength, he would surely be able to easily shatter this strange flower.
"Hey, Lucy, just leave it to me!" As soon as Loki appeared, he looked at the flower, which was emitting a strong suction, with ease and confidence.
His hands glowed with dazzling golden light, illuminating the surroundings.
"Lion King's Radiance!!" Accompanied by a roar, Loki's figure shot out like lightning, fiercely swinging a punch that heavily struck the peculiar flower.
With a loud bang, the flower's surface instantly covered in dense cracks, and a brilliant golden light seeped through the fissures.
"What?" Cosmos was astonished, not even having time to react.
Immediately after, another earth-shattering roar sounded, and the entire flower was blown to smithereens.
"No, no, it's not beautiful at all!!!" Cosmos's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
"I won't forgive you…for destroying my beautiful flower!!" Her face darkened, her eyes glinting with a fierce light, as her magic power surged forth once more.
"Spore Bomb: Adjacent Flower Chain"
Countless poisonous spores rained down, enveloping the entire area, forming a dense barrage.
Clearly, this time, she didn't want Lucy to escape.
Such a massive number of poisonous spores was enough to overturn the entire venue, and Lucy, who was in it, would inevitably suffer a devastating blow.
This time, Fairy Tail and the other spectators outside the arena also couldn't help but show solemn expressions, but they still suppressed their worries.
"I believe in Lucy, she can definitely do it!!!" Third Guild Master Makarov said calmly.
He had witnessed the training courses designated by Zorn; anyone who could pass such training would surely be able to defeat this kind of opponent!
"It will definitely be fine!" First Generation Mavis's expression was very serious at this moment, with a smile on her lips.
"Lucy?" Lucy's father, Jude, looked at his daughter below with worry at this moment; although he was very concerned, he looked at Lucy who was so serious below.
He also firmly believed that Lucy would win.
"Lucy?" Loki unhesitatingly stood in front of Lucy, his gaze quickly scanning the surroundings, fully focused and ready to deal with the impending magic attack.
He secretly made up his mind to block these deadly poisonous spores at the first moment to protect Lucy's safety.
However, Lucy appeared exceptionally calm and composed.
She gently patted Loki's shoulder and softly said, "Loki, thank you, but I'll take it from here!"
Her tone was firm and confident, as if she already had a solution.
Loki was slightly startled, but seeing Lucy's determined eyes, he nodded, and then his figure transformed into light and disappeared from the spot.
"Open, gate of Gemini--Gemini!" With Lucy's cry, two small, exquisite Celestial Spirits flew out from the magic circle gate, which shimmered with mysterious light, and quickly gathered around Lucy.
Lucy shouted without hesitation, "Quick, turn into me!" Her voice revealed immense determination.
"Understood! Piri Piri!" After a wisp of light smoke dispersed, the two small Celestial Spirits transformed into images identical to Lucy beside her.
This was a strategy Lucy had meticulously planned before the competition; she knew the importance of this match, so she had made thorough preparations, participating with an unwavering belief in victory.
She absolutely could not let down Everyone's expectations of her, after all, she had gone through such arduous and challenging training.
At this moment, Lucy tightly held the hand of her other self, both closing their eyes, rapidly chanting a series of ancient and mysterious incantations:
"I wish to measure the heavens, I shall open the heavens... summon all the stars, gather all the light.... appear before me now..."
As the incantations continued to be recited, two powerful surges of magic power erupted from within the two Lucys like volcanic explosions, instantly illuminating the entire arena, as if enveloping everything in this endless radiance.
"This is…" Hibiki of Blue Pegasus saw this scene, and his memory was instantly pulled back to the past. At that time, he frantically imparted the Urano Metria magic into her mind.
Now, these seeds have finally broken through the soil, blooming with brilliant light.
"That's amazing, it seems she has already mastered Urano Metria Super Magic! Her magic power is truly terrifying!" Hibiki was genuinely happy and proud of Lucy.
The choice back then was indeed correct; she is truly worthy of being chosen by the stars!
"Hmph~ it's just so-so! But being able to defeat me means she has some skill! Such magic power is barely worthy of me!"
Runa sat in the audience, her gaze fixed on Lucy below, stubbornly turning her head away, but a hint of imperceptible admiration flickered in her eyes.
After all, losing to such a powerful opponent was not shameful.
Yukino, beside her, was like a little fangirl, leaning on the railing with a face full of adoration, saying in a sweet, childish voice, "Sister, Celestial Spirit Magic is so amazing! Can I become as strong as Sister Lucy in the future?" Her eyes sparkled with longing, as if she saw her future self.
Runa gently stroked Yukino's hair and comforted her, "Of course, Yukino. As long as I'm here, you'll definitely be fine! I'll help you get the remaining keys!" After speaking, she looked at Lucy with determination, filled with confidence.
"Four Books, I am the ruler of all stars.... Full Release!"
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings instantly transformed into a starry sky, and countless stars surrounded the two of them.
And those poisonous spores were directly crushed under these giant stars, turning into light particles absorbed by the stars.
Cosmos trembled slightly, her expression horrified, as she looked at the giant stars.
"This... such magic..." The light of the stars directly imprinted in her eyes, and her mind directly told her that this was true beauty.
But that terrifying magic power, compressing her body, made her utterly unable to control her body.
"All 88 Stars! Urano Metria"
"This is Fairy Tail! This victory is ours!!! No one can stop us!!"
Countless stars, like meteors, directly slammed into Cosmos.
"Ah~~~~"
The light dissipated, leaving countless deep pits in the arena, with the largest one containing the unconscious Cosmos.
Lucy had still held back some strength, otherwise Cosmos would no longer be there.
"This is truly an incredible magic! The winner of this one-on-one match is... Fairy Tail!!!"
"Hmm? Where did Master Zorn go?" Jabu Dirola announced, then turned to ask for an opinion, suddenly realizing Zorn was gone.
"Him~ he seems to have discovered something!" Yajima's face was solemn at this moment; he had also just felt a very malicious gaze.
"Oh~ Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail"
As the host Jabu Dirola announced, the audience in the arena cheered directly. This kind of match was what they wanted to see: brilliant magic, real combat.
Everything was so exhilarating.
"I knew it, you could do it, Lucy!" Natsu grabbed Lucy's hands, congratulating her.
"Hehe, it was alright~" Lucy was equally happy.
"First Generation Mavis?" Third Guild Master Makarov asked First Generation Mavis with a solemn expression; he had just felt a faint dark aura for a moment.
"Don't worry, Zorn has gone to investigate!" First Generation Mavis stood up at this moment, looking down at the arena, and said firmly.
Meanwhile, August stood steadily beside his mother.
At this moment, nothing was more important than his mother.
As for what was below, he had indeed felt it!
