"Gajeel and Natsu are way too mean!"
"Who told those Yak Seven Brothers to be so strong? Even Gajeel's Dragon Slaying Secret Art couldn't break those horns."
"Acnologia is as reliable as ever."
Many girls in the Fairy Tail Guild were conquered by his overwhelming power; grabbing a fifty-meter-tall yak and throwing it over a thousand meters gave them a total sense of security.
Not only were the girls from their own guild won over, but women throughout the entire stadium were cheering and screaming frantically.
The male members, on the other hand, were wailing in despair. That damn Acnologia—not only did he have a wife, but he was also stealing the hearts of all the other girls.
"He already has a wife and a daughter. That curvy older woman on the Second Team's screen is his wife, and his daughter is Titania, Erza."
"He has a wife? How is that possible? You guys must just be jealous!"
Hearing this, many girls were on the verge of tears. How could such a handsome man already be married? Did they really have to become 'the other woman'?
Irene didn't know that countless beautiful girls outside were trying to steal her man; otherwise, she would have definitely charged out of the illusory magic space and beaten all those vixens to death.
Three days passed in a flash, and the Grand Magic Games were in full swing. With the number of guilds sharply decreasing, only twenty remained. This meant each guild only needed one more battle to completely finish the preliminary rounds.
The remaining guilds were all incredibly powerful and none were easy opponents. Even the two Fairy Tail teams were starting to find it difficult, sometimes taking an entire day to finish a battle.
"Both Fairy Tail teams have this kind of strength; they truly are the strongest guild in the Fiore Kingdom. Furthermore, the first team's points have already reached the highest in the field."
"Mainly because Laxus and Erza are too strong. Almost all their opponents were defeated by those two, and the strongest, Gildarts, hasn't even had to lift a finger!"
"Ranked second in points is Grimoire Heart, one of the three pillars of the Balam Alliance. It's said they were once defeated by Fairy Tail, but now no guild seems able to suppress them."
The audience was filled with sounds of amazement. This Grand Magic Games was truly spectacular, and they never expected the Fiore Kingdom to hide so many powerful guilds they had never even heard of.
Especially those Yak Seven Brothers; their combined strength was exaggeratedly high, almost reaching the peak of the Ten Wizard Saints. If Natsu and Gajeel hadn't found their weakness, it's hard to say how they could have been beaten.
"Did you see that? Our Fairy Tail is the strongest!"
Makarov waved the Fairy Tail flag, leading everyone in the guild in cheering and shouting.
Watching the two teams overcome every obstacle really made their blood boil with excitement. Just one more battle, and everyone would pass the preliminaries.
However, after Acnologia finished recovering his strength, he arrived in a New World: the Deep Sea World.
"We can actually breathe underwater? How strange."
"Juvia is invincible in water. This is my home turf now!"
"What a huge fish. Happy would definitely love this."
Acnologia and the others were deep on the ocean floor, surrounded by terrifying monstrous fish, some even three hundred meters long—true behemoths.
However, despite being ten times larger than a dragon, they were quite weak in an actual fight, as fragile as a block of tofu. A single spell from Irene could slaughter a whole swarm of them.
After a while, their enemies finally arrived, and they were old acquaintances: the Blue Pegasus quintet.
Ichiya, Hibiki Laytis, Eve Tilm, Ren Akatsuki, and the Exceed who looked exactly like Ichiya, Bickslow.
"It's you guys!"
Both sides were surprised; they hadn't expected to meet here.
Ichiya elegantly flipped his flowing hair, full of grace: "So it's the Fairy Tail Second Team, Men!"
Ren Akatsuki, dressed in a suit, dashingly brushed back his hair: "Miss Lucy, you're becoming more elegant by the day. Of course, I'm not saying that I like you or anything."
Hibiki Laytis said excitedly, "Then I choose Miss Juvia!"
Eve Tilm stood with his hands in his pockets and a flower in his mouth: "Then I'll choose Er—"
Suddenly, he noticed the expressionless Acnologia. His expression turned to panic, and just as he was about to explain, he was sent flying by a punch.
Everyone watched speechlessly. The woman's husband is right here, and you still dare to say that.
Natsu looked at Bickslow and asked curiously, "This guy looks just like Mr. Ichiya. I think I saw him in Edolas."
Bickslow struck a handsome and elegant pose: "I am indeed the Exceed from Edolas, Bickslow. Fairy Tail, thank you very much for saving Edolas and us Exceeds."
Everyone suddenly remembered and smiled, "It's nothing. We were just acting in self-preservation, and Mystogan is still our comrade."
Gajeel waved his hand and said arrogantly, "Enough talk. Let's start the battle!"
He couldn't wait any longer; as long as they finished this match, they could enter the finals.
Ren Akatsuki gave a dashing smile: "Then we're going to get serious!"
"Come on! Give it your all!"
"Men!"
The battle between the two sides erupted instantly as colorful magic circles expanded. Fire, water, tornadoes... violent explosions burst in the deep sea, and the wild shockwaves killed all the nearby monster fish.
Before Bickslow could even react, he was blasted into smithereens by magic and sent back outside the illusory magic space.
"Behold my Weakness Magic!"
Ichiya took out a small bottle and flicked it into the water; soon, the area was dyed green.
"Damn it, he's using poison!" Natsu suddenly felt weak and powerless, unable to even spit fire.
"I'm already holding my breath, so why am I still poisoned?"
Ichiya explained confidently, "My scent isn't poison. Under my control, it doesn't just rely on breathing—it can even penetrate the skin!"
The effect of Scent Magic was slightly weakened in the water, but it was still effective.
Juvia had turned completely green and was in a panic: "How can this be?"
She looked so ugly like this; Lord Gray definitely wouldn't like her anymore. Her mind already began to imagine a scene where Gray abandoned her, and she immediately burst into tears.
Elfman gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly: "I can't even use Beast Soul?"
"I'd better hide for a bit."
Lucy curled up, having already hidden inside the space of the Celestial Spirit Horologium.
Irene knew these guys couldn't be relied upon and she had to take action herself, so she waved her hand as a magic circle expanded.
"Separation Enchantment!"
Scarlet magic covered everyone, stripping away all the scent and then attaching it to Ichiya, instantly stripping him of his combat capability.
"What kind of magic is this, to directly attach the scent inside my body?" Ichiya was in disbelief; his body was now powerless, and he couldn't even lift a finger.
The Blue Pegasus trio saw Ichiya being swept away by the current and cried out in panic, "Mr. Ichiya!"
They no longer cared about the Fairy Tail members and rushed forward to save him.
"Now's our chance!"
Natsu and Gajeel's eyes lit up, and they both launched their attacks.
"Fire Dragons Roar!"
"Iron Dragons Roar!"
Magic circles expanded, and two tornadoes erupted instantly, merging into one in the water. The terrifying magic churned the entire deep sea, engulfing over a dozen giant monster fish and the four members of Blue Pegasus. After a few screams, they vanished.
