"This guy…" Elfman looked at the seemingly lazy man in front of him, and Zorn's words to him earlier couldn't help but echo in his mind.
Zorn told him: "Never underestimate any opponent. Always imagine your enemy to be stronger than yourself, and use every possible method to defeat them. And always make sure the opponent is completely incapacitated."
Therefore, Elfman's muscles were tensed, and he was fully focused on the battle.
"Your elder sister and younger sister are truly beautiful… If I win against you… then… they'll be mine." Pacas slowly sat up, his tone still flippant, a wicked smile on his face.
He hadn't even finished speaking.
Bang~ With a loud bang, a cloud of thick smoke billowed up.
Pacas was seen holding a wine gourd, flipping and jumping agilely in the air, easily dodging Elfman's attack.
"You're not a man at all! Since that's the case, let me teach you what a true man is!"
Elfman slowly stood up from the large pit, his hands clenched, making a crisp sound. His gaze was firm and full of fighting spirit as he looked at Pacas.
"Oh, you're already angry! That's really good, my soul is already trembling!" Pacas's eyes regained their focus, and his body took on a fighting stance.
That last blow was truly dangerous. Even this big guy had such speed, and his attack power was quite precise.
Fairy Tail truly has hidden talents.
This was Pacas's inner thought, acknowledging Elfman's strength, and he could finally have a good, hearty fight.
Thinking of this, Pacas tilted his head back and drank all the wine from the gourd. His cheeks flushed slightly, and his steps, accompanied by drunkenness, followed an inexplicable rhythm.
He staggered forward, as if he might fall at any moment, but just as Everyone thought he was really going to fall, he suddenly lunged forward, arriving in front of Elfman in the blink of an eye.
Elfman was startled, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he took a deep breath, tensing his muscles.
Seeing this, Pacas's lips curved slightly into a smile. At the same time, he clenched his right fist, which glowed with dazzling light, and smashed it hard into Elfman's abdomen.
With a muffled thud, Elfman's body was sent flying, tumbling several times in the air.
However, he didn't give up. Instead, he directly dug his hands into the ground, stopping his body.
"This kind of attack is still far off!" Elfman roared, his eyes flashing with confidence. He took a deep breath, gathered his magic power between his palms, and then spread it throughout his body.
"Take Over Magic - Beast Soul - Tigerman!" As the incantation was chanted, Elfman's body began to transform.
His muscles swelled, his body was covered with a layer of hard fur, his fingers turned into sharp claws, and his entire being became stronger and more ferocious.
Elfman stomped his foot, the ground trembled slightly, and his figure shot forward like lightning.
The power of the Tiger Soul instantly unleashed his speed, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
Pacas felt Elfman's powerful aura and quickly adjusted his posture, flexibly dodging the attack.
However, Elfman kept accelerating during his charge, his speed was simply too fast, and Pacas had to go all out.
Immediately after, Pacas quickly counterattacked with a powerful kick. His leg muscles were tensed, containing immense power, like a mighty mammoth.
Elfman unhesitatingly raised his arm to block, then swung a powerful right hook. His punch carried the momentum of a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, incredibly formidable.
Seeing this, Pacas crossed his arms to defend. The force of their collision created a dull thud, as if the entire space vibrated.
Their speeds were evenly matched, each move incredibly swift, leaving people dazzled. Elfman, having undergone Zorn's special training, had made rapid progress in strength. Both his attack power and speed had reached a new level.
And Pacas, as an S-Class Magician who once rivaled Erza, was naturally no ordinary opponent. His speed was as fast as a gale, and coupled with his unique martial arts magic, he was in his element during battle.
The two went back and forth in the arena, neither giving an inch, and it was difficult to tell who would win for a time.
Each of their clashes stirred up gusts of wind, making the audience incredibly nervous.
"Wow, the strength of both sides is truly evenly matched. Who will win! It's really exciting." Jabu Dirola watched with a full smile, passionately commentating into the microphone.
"Brother Elfman, beat him to a pulp!!" Lisanna stood to the side, shouting with a face full of anger, her eyes filled with anticipation for Elfman.
She had clearly heard Pacas's frivolous words, and in her heart, she wished Elfman would beat him black and blue, to get revenge for herself.
She had personally witnessed Brother Elfman's strength, and she was sure there would be no problem this time either.
"Elfman is quite good!" Gajeel said with a smile, a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Go, good job, Elfman!!!" Happy jumped up excitedly, waving his hands and cheering loudly.
Pacas's technique was called "Drunken Piguazhang," a unique form of martial arts magic.
It combined his strong physique, powerful force, magic, and martial arts, falling under the category of traditional magic, but emphasizing the perfect fusion of martial arts and magic.
And when he was drunk, he could unleash even more astonishing power.
At this moment, Pacas had unleashed all his abilities, fully engaged in responding to Elfman's attacks. His expression became serious, clearly realizing that the opponent before him was not to be underestimated.
"It looks like Pacas has brought out his full strength!!" Zorn stood to the side, quietly watching the intense duel in the arena, while elaborating on Pacas's magic, a look of keen interest on his face.
The blurry attack techniques, the erratic steps brought on by drunkenness, and the powerful Piguazhang.
It's not bad.
Although his words were full of recognition for Pacas's strength, they also revealed his confidence in Elfman.
"How exciting, I really came to the right place this time! It's truly amazing to see for the first time!!! COOL!!!"
The reporter Jason was watching with great excitement on the commentary platform, cheering unusually.
"Bang~"
A loud bang in the arena, both individuals were sent flying backward, directly crashing into the ground.
"Truly impressive, Fairy Tail is indeed Fairy Tail!"
"But, I'm not a pushover either, bring me wine!!!"
"Fill it up~"
Gulp gulp
Pacas directly summoned a wine gourd in his hand, magic power surging out, and he tilted his head back, gulping down the wine with gusto.
