The outside world was seething with cheers for the two. Whether it was Fairy Queen Erza versus Chine, The Sword of Ultimate Dao, or Demon Mirajane versus Moonless Style Ikaruga, both sides fought brilliantly.
Moreover, that both sides could exit the stage together was full of the grace and poise belonging to beautiful women.
The host, Jellal Fernandez, shouted excitedly, "Let's give them a round of applause! Thank them for giving us such a wonderful match!"
As his words fell, the audience erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and shouts.
"Erza! Mirajane!"
"Fairy Tail, you're the strongest!"
"Sword Guild is the strongest!"
Hearing the enthusiastic cheers, Mirajane and Ikaruga looked at each other and smiled, waving to the audience in thanks.
Seeing Mirajane walk back, Gildarts smiled and said, "Good fight!"
Mirajane smiled helplessly. "Sorry, I don't have the strength to fight Chine anymore."
Of course, even if she still had strength, she couldn't win. Sometimes, you don't even need to fight; just one look and you know if someone is your match.
Erza reached out and put her arm around her shoulder, comforting her, "It's okay. That woman is terrifyingly strong. Even if I used Dragon Knight, I might not be able to beat her."
Gray agreed, "You've already shown the spirit of our guild."
Laxus looked at Mirajane and Erza holding hands, puzzled. "Since when did you two get so close?"
He remembered these two loved fighting since they were kids, calling each other 'Little Redhead' and 'Little Whitehead.' Had he remembered wrong?
Cana laughed, "Don't you know Acnologia is the mediator? Under his mediation, the two have successfully upgraded to Plastic Sisters."
Although they would still trip each other up behind the scenes from time to time, on the surface, they were as close as sisters.
Everyone realized, "So that's how it is!"
Erza sent them flying with a punch. "Get lost, all of you!!"
These guys felt uncomfortable if they didn't get a beating for a day.
The host, Jellal Fernandez, continued to narrate the match, firing up the atmosphere: "Currently remaining are Fairy Tail Second Team: Lucy Heartfilia and Juvia Lockser; and Sword Guild: Chine and Ikaruga!"
"Who will stand on the final battlefield? Let's wait and see!"
Hearing Fairy Tail Second Team, the whole arena erupted in boos.
"Fairy Tail Second Team is too lame."
"Those two women are the weakest in Fairy Tail. There's no hope for them."
"I think they should just be declared the losers."
Those two who had been hiding from start to finish were too embarrassing; they didn't even dare show their faces. To think they could defeat the peerless Chine? They must be dreaming.
Hearing the disdainful voices, Natsu retorted in a rage, "Lucy and Juvia aren't weak, you brainless bastards!"
Gajeel was somewhat dismissive. "Why waste words with them? Let strength do the talking."
He believed Lucy and Juvia had the strength to make these people take back their stupid comments... Inside the illusory magic space, Chine stood on a piece of rubble, quietly waiting for the two to appear.
She wasn't in a hurry. The magic power beneath the deep sea was growing thicker; the opponents must be preparing some big move.
A technique that took this long to prepare would surely be very interesting. She was looking forward to it.
Twenty minutes passed, and people in the audience were yawning, wondering if those two had drowned.
However, soon a powerful magic power rose to cover the sky, drawing everyone's attention. The entire illusory magic space was dyed crimson.
"What is that? Is this a scene created by those two?"
"This world-changing magic power is not at all inferior to Chine's earlier magic."
"Those two didn't spend all that time for nothing. Are they going to counterattack?"
Everyone widened their eyes, not blinking, wanting to see what kind of technique those two 'divers' had performed.
"What exaggerated magic power!"
Chine's expression turned serious. She raised her hand to condense a magic sword and looked toward the distant sea surface.
A woman with long crimson hair walked gracefully across the sea. She wore a sexy magic robe, a large hood, and held a wooden magic staff.
She stood proud like a high-and-mighty queen, with Juvia and Lucy behind her.
Seeing this, the outside world was in an uproar, filled with shock and angry curses. Did they find outside help? How could a fourth person appear?
But wasn't that crimson-haired woman Irene? She was still outside; who was the one inside?
Arima explained it, and only then did the audience realize—it was a freaking Celestial Spirit.
Irene was also somewhat surprised. "They actually managed to replicate me?"
If the sea below was providing the magic power, then it was possible. However, just how long could that Celestial Spirit hold out?
"Lucy's Gemini Celestial Spirit?"
"As expected, Lucy has the most potential. She can even summon Irene."
Everyone in Fairy Tail was incredibly expectant. Sword Guild's Chine was immensely powerful, but how would she fare against Fairy Tail's strongest female Mage?
Erza was full of anticipation, her beautiful eyes not blinking. Chine was a powerhouse she could hardly reach, while her mom was the strongest Augmentation Mage from four hundred years ago. Their battle would surely be spectacular.
Inside the illusory magic space, Chine was already face-to-face with Celestial Spirit Irene. Their magic powers erupted and soared into the sky, pink and crimson covering the sun, each occupying half the sky.
However, the crimson magic power soon surged a level higher, instantly scattering the pink magic. The entire illusory magic space began to shake, and the island below collapsed directly, sinking into the seabed, leaving no foothold.
Chine's expression was grave. The opponent's magic power was much stronger than hers; perhaps even the Empire's Wizard King, old man August, couldn't compare.
"Gemini, hurry up! There's only three minutes left."
Lucy and Juvia were trembling with fear. As expected, Irene was terrifyingly strong; this magic power was already lawless. No wonder it was so hard for them to manifest her even after preparing for so long.
Celestial Spirit Irene's personality was shifting toward the real Irene. She looked at Lucy and Juvia as if they were fools, which made the two of them quite annoyed.
Are you kidding me? You learned Irene's personality that quickly? Don't forget you're a fake, hey!
Lucy felt her magic power being consumed rapidly, and she was completely dumbfounded. "Big sister, there's only one minute left. Don't delay, I beg you to just use your ultimate move."
Juvia was already weeping into her hands. As expected, none of Lucy's Celestial Spirits were reliable. They would surely be laughed to death by everyone when they got out.
Celestial Spirit Irene covered her mouth and laughed. "I was just teasing you. Why take it so seriously?"
She waved her magic circle, and crimson magic power enveloped Lucy: "Ultimate Augmentation: Magic Power!"
In an instant, Lucy transformed into a Super Saiyan. Her blonde hair stood on end, and terrifying magic power surged into the sky. At this moment, half the sky was dyed gold, and a pillar of magic power pierced the heavens.
Feeling the incredibly terrifying magic power within her body, she was full of disbelief. "It can be done like this..."
If Celestial Spirit Irene could augment her with magic power, wouldn't she be able to hold out until the limit of the time the Celestial Spirit itself could survive in the Human World?
