The competition had reached a fever pitch. Currently, all members of Grimoire Heart had been eliminated, and only Rufus remained to carry the banner for Sabertooth.
Fairy Tail Second Team still had Acnologia, Irene, and Natsu.
Fairy Tail First Team had Gildarts, Gray, Wendy, Mirajane, and Cana.
Lamia Scale had Richard, Lyon, and Sherria.
Crime Sorcière had Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy.
During this time, the members of Fairy Tail First Team had already clashed head-on with Lamia Scale and Crime Sorcière, intending to settle the outcome in one battle.
Sherria faced Wendy, Gray faced Lyon, Cana faced Ultear, and Meredy faced Mirajane.
Finally, Gildarts, Richard, and Jellal—these three banner-carriers—had yet to make a move.
As for Lyon and Gray, these fellow disciples, it goes without saying. They were evenly matched, taught by the same teacher, and knew each other inside out. In a fight, they couldn't break each other's moves, resulting in both being eliminated together.
Sherria and Wendy, however, were fighting fiercely. One was a Sky God Slayer Mage, the other a Sky Dragon Slayer Mage, making for a very entertaining match.
But these two little girls kept apologizing while fighting, leaving the audience bewildered, unsure if they were truly fighting or just pretending.
"Enchant: Power, Arm Strength..."
"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!"
Wendy swung her arms, sending several wind blades flying toward Sherria in a slashing assault. However, Sherria moved nimbly, drifting backward and dodging them all.
"North Wind, become the breath of a god, gallop across the earth..."
Sherria leaped into the air, raising her hand to gather black magical power, transforming it into a tornado that shot through the sky: "God's North Wind!"
Boom!
The violent storm tore through the ground, instantly engulfing Wendy and slamming her into a nearby building.
However, Wendy didn't suffer much damage. Wind swirled around her, forming a solid shield that blocked the tearing force of the dark gale.
Sherria showed a hint of surprise: "Impressive, you actually blocked that move."
"In that case..."
She dashed forward, surrounded by a fierce black wind, like a wind spirit, stepping on the wind as she advanced.
"Pierce the earth, dance in the sky, God's Dance!!"
A terrifying black gale swept in from all directions, forming a tornado that connected heaven and earth, sweeping across the area.
Wendy let out a startled cry as she was swept hundreds of meters into the air by the Fire Dragon King Igneel, then quickly stabilized herself, opening her mouth to gather magical power: "Sky Dragon's Roar!"
Boom!
A white tornado shredded the black storm, slamming hard into Sherria and blasting her into the ruins.
"God's Howl!"
A terrifying black storm erupted from the ruins, shooting through the sky and directly blasting Wendy dozens of meters away, sending her crashing to the ground.
"Well done!"
"Defeat her in one go!"
The members of Lamia Scale, seeing this, cheered for Sherria, thinking she might actually win.
Fairy Tail, on the other hand, cheered for Wendy. They refused to believe Wendy would lose—she was a Dragon Slayer Mage, after all!
Sherria rode the black gale, flying through the sky, and said with a smile: "Our Lamia Scale hasn't won a single match yet. I won't hold back."
Wendy struggled to her feet, speaking very seriously: "This is a battle. Let's give it our all."
Even though Sherria had come to help when Lucy was injured, in a match, she would still give it her all.
The two launched attacks again. As sky magic, every wave of their hands summoned a gale. Black and white winds intertwined, collided, and tore at each other, their terrifying magical power overturning all the surrounding buildings.
Wendy knew she couldn't drag this out any longer. She opened her mouth and swallowed the air from all around, streams of airflow gathering in her mouth.
Sherria, seeing this, showed surprise: "So you can eat air too."
"Then I'll do the same!"
She tilted her head back and swallowed, the air forming a faint tornado that gathered in her mouth. The two seemed to be competing for the surrounding air, both sucking it in with all their might, nearly turning the area into a vacuum.
"Dragon Slaying Secret Art!"
A blue-white magic circle unfolded and rotated beneath Wendy's feet. Powerful magical power condensed, forming a wind barrier that completely enveloped both of them.
Sherria showed a shocked expression: "My wind is being dispersed?"
"Pierce... Sky Strike!"
As a clear voice fell, terrifying magical power suddenly erupted, as if transforming into a silver-white dragon that roared and swallowed Sherria whole, white light illuminating the entire sky.
Under the tense gazes of everyone, the light faded. Sherria lay on the ground, while Wendy, though exhausted, could still stand.
However, she didn't have much strength left either; that attack had nearly drained her magical power.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing Sherria unconscious, Wendy felt a pang of worry—had she struck too hard?
She hurried over to check, but after just two steps, she saw Sherria stand up again, her injuries rapidly healing.
Wendy was utterly shocked: "This is..."
Sherria explained: "This is the Self-healing power of a Sky God Slayer Mage."
The Lamia Scale members in the audience were thrilled. Dog-head Toby excitedly jumped up and down: "Amazing, Sherria!"
Jura, as if he had expected this, chuckled lightly: "Although Sherria is very young, her potential is the greatest I've ever seen among Mages."
Sherry shyly cupped her face: "As expected of my cousin, she's truly incredible."
Orba Babasama, seeing her shamelessness, flew into a rage: "Sherria is far, far stronger than you!"
Meanwhile, the atmosphere on Fairy Tail's side was somewhat somber. Carla felt a bit worried—could something unexpected happen?
"Next, I'll end this battle with this move!"
Sherria smiled slightly, spreading her arms. Two streams of God Slayer gale condensed, as if forming two massive dark wings.
"God Slaying Secret Art..."
A dark magic circle unfolded beneath her feet. A terrifying black gale surged skyward, its mere shockwave pushing Wendy back.
"Heavenly Cumulonimbus!"
Boom!
A hurricane condensed like black leaves charged recklessly, sharp as a blade, as if it would tear apart everything in its path.
Wendy's gaze turned serious. She channeled wind power, forming a massive wind wall in front of her: "Bear my final strength, full enchantment, sturdiness!"
Boom!
The two forces collided, forming a wind vortex. A terrifying explosion sounded, the gale like sharp blades wildly scattering across the surrounding ground and buildings, leaving tear marks that made one's heart race.
"You win."
Seeing Wendy still standing, Sherria swayed and fell to the ground. Now, she had no magical power left at all.
"Let's call it a draw." Wendy plopped down on the ground, looking completely exhausted.
Sherria showed a helpless expression. She clearly sensed that the other hadn't used her full strength and had held back a lot.
Come to think of it, the Fairy Tail members were all clearly strong, yet they loved pretending to be weak.
Maybe that was just their style.
The two exchanged a glance, both smiling, then simultaneously called out their surrender.
The announcement sounded: "Fairy Tail First Team's Wendy vs. Lamia Scale's Sherria—draw!"
