This battle made countless spectators cheer and applaud. The five beautiful girls of the Snow Fox Guild were both brave and resourceful, while Fairy Tail Second Team swept through everything with absolute power; it was simply too cool.
"I didn't expect the unknown Snow Fox Guild to be able to fight Fairy Tail to this extent. That's truly impressive!"
"Especially the eldest sister, Yaoyao. She formulated the plan single-handedly, reacted instantly upon entering the Illusion World, and utilized the terrain for combat; she is truly exceptionally clever. If it weren't for Acnologia being too powerful, Fairy Tail Second Team would have been wiped out."
"And after the first scheme failed, that second act of mutual destruction—pouring water onto the volcano to create that world-shattering scene—their wisdom and reaction speed were truly astonishing."
Most importantly, Acnologia actually possessed magic to grow and shrink at will... that kind of magic was simply a woman's favorite. Countless young girls and wealthy wives let out crazed shouts, saying they wanted to keep him.
"It was so thrilling! I didn't expect to encounter such an opponent in the very first battle!"
Makarov wiped a cold sweat for Acnologia and the others. That girl from the Snow Fox Guild was too decisive; if it were any other guild, it would have been almost impossible to withstand that burst of output.
Mavis sat at the very front, her small feet bare, full of appreciation. "What a truly clever girl. It would be great if she could join our guild."
Zera shook her head. "That's impossible. She already has a guild."
Romeo said excitedly, "Acnologia is truly the guild's strongest Mage. Flames that Brother Natsu couldn't even finish swallowing, he made them vanish with a wave of his hand."
"His Form Magic is somewhat similar to the Master's Giant Magic, except the Master can only enlarge himself."
Makarov laughed and said, "Actually, I'm also very strong. That guy is still far from my level."
He hadn't expected Acnologia to know so many magics, and that Form Magic felt like a superior version of Giant Magic.
The preliminary matches were in full swing. Not only the Second Team led by Acnologia, but the First Team also crushed their opponents with ease.
In terms of popularity, the all-S-Class team was more famous, not to mention Gildarts, who had once changed the entire terrain of Magnolia Town.
At this moment, the six guilds that finished their first battles the fastest stood out and were displayed on the big screen.
1st Place: Sabertooth, 6 points!
2nd Place: Grimoire Heart, 5 points!
3rd Place: Fairy Tail First Team, 5 points!
4th Place: Fairy Tail Second Team, 5 points!
5th Place: Mermaid Heel, 4 points!
6th Place: Raven Tail, 4 points!
The other guilds had not yet finished their battles. The winners would wait in the new world and could plan their layouts in advance.
The host, Jellal Fernandez, said passionately, "Currently, six teams have stood out. Sabertooth is at the top of the list, and what's shocking is that both Fairy Tail teams are on the board! As expected of the guild always known as the strongest in the Kingdom of Fiore. Let's cheer for them!"
The atmosphere of the entire venue was ignited as people clapped and shouted for them, the sound echoing through the clouds.
Arima said in admiration, "Fairy Tail—every team has shown extraordinary strength. I'm quite optimistic about them for this Grand Magic Games championship."
Jenny Realight looked unhappy. "Our Blue Pegasus Guild didn't even finish the battle first. Those guys are really not pulling their weight."
Although only the trio from the team had acted, the opponent was also an unknown small guild, yet they had dragged it out for so long.
The battles continued. Acnologia led the group through various obstacles, defeating three more guilds in succession and earning a total of twenty-two points, their score far ahead of the rest.
At this moment, the seven of them were in a world of ice and snow. It was white everywhere with biting cold winds; it looked to be forty or fifty degrees below zero, making people shiver.
Not only that, this world also contained Frost Magical Beasts. A mountain-sized Ice Crystal Giant Beast was attacking them; every punch and kick could trigger an avalanche.
Furthermore, there were over a hundred snow wolves, their eyes flashing with fierce light as if they would pounce at any moment.
Elfman activated his Beast King Form, sending a Snow Wolf flying with one punch before leaping up to deliver a heavy blow to the Ice Crystal Giant Beast.
"If the opponents don't show up, are we just going to keep wearing ourselves out against these monsters?"
"Who told Natsu to rush into the new world so urgently? We should have recovered some magic power in the previous world first."
Lucy had already summoned Gemini, who transformed into Gray to join the battle. The ice and snow world was the home field for Ice Mages.
"Ice-Make: Ice Wall!"
"Let me burn them all!"
Natsu used a Fire Dragons Roar, a sheet of flame burning ten snow wolves to cinders, but in the freezing cold, the flames didn't even feel warm.
Juvia also looked helpless. "My water magic will be frozen as soon as I use it. You guys go ahead."
Gajeel couldn't help saying, "That's Gemini, not the real Gray. You bastard, don't follow right behind his butt!"
This love-brained girl claimed it wouldn't work, but her eyes were already glued to the Celestial Spirit Gray.
He looked at Acnologia and Irene, who were leisurely roasting by a fire, and immediately became furious. "And you two, at least help out a bit, will you?"
Everyone else was fighting for their lives; couldn't those two have some compassion?
Acnologia smiled and said, "We are the main combat force, so we need to recover our magic power properly. It would be troublesome if a powerful guild appears on the other side."
Irene agreed wholeheartedly. "You guys have been coasting for two worlds already; at least clear out the small fry."
"Sister Irene, at least add an Enchantment Magic. There are really so many snow wolves!"
Lucy looked like she was breaking down. She had just been bitten on the butt by a fierce Snow Wolf and only escaped by summoning Leo.
Irene thought about it and decided she was right. A crimson magic power enveloped everyone. "I'll add a Fortification to you all so you won't get bitten on the butt by little puppies!"
"Those are snow wolves!"
They refused to admit they had been bitten by a dog.
"Whoa~ so hard!"
Natsu was instantly excited. Feeling his whole body was harder than iron, he charged directly into the wolf pack for close combat, ruthlessly snapping wolf teeth with his bare hands.
Elfman, who was being bullied by the Ice Crystal Giant Beast just now, was now able to trade blows with it.
He pointed a finger at the Ice Crystal Giant Beast, raised his chin, and said arrogantly, "Now your attacks are completely useless! Let me show you a man's iron fist!"
Saying that, he leaped up, his body brutally colliding with the Ice Crystal Giant Beast's huge fist.
With a boom, the hundred-meter-long giant arm collapsed directly, turning into debris filling the sky, while the Ice Crystal Giant Beast stumbled back and sat on the ground, kicking up a cloud of snow.
"Hahaha! I am the strongest!"
Elfman stood with hands on his hips, laughing loudly.
However, before he could be arrogant for long, the Ice Crystal Giant Beast spat out an ice storm, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.
At the same time, a door opened, and the opponent guild arrived.
