Chapter 8
The day after Gildarts returned, Magnolia City, the forest behind the mountain.
It was almost noon, and Makarov and his group had just arrived at the place where Ye Yu had practiced before, which was the place for today's duel.
Originally, everyone should have been here a long time ago. Early this morning, Ye Yu and others had gathered at the guild, and they were only missing Gildarts, so they could set off.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, no one came, so Natsu went to Gildarts' house and woke up Gildarts, who was drunk yesterday and was still sleeping.
"President, why are you here?"
""Why not just fight with a few brats outside the guild? There's no need to walk so far here."
Gildarts asked, half asleep.
He had celebrated with Makao and the others in the guild yesterday, drinking until almost dawn, and now he was feeling sleepy.
"That’s right, old man, why don’t you fight outside the guild?"
"I can't wait to beat up Gildarts!" Natsu also shouted, expressing the doubts in Gray and the others' minds.
"You will know later, now follow me," Makarov did not answer their questions, but chose to be a riddler.
Seeing that Makarov did not answer, everyone did not ask any more questions, anyway, they were about to go to the duel.
Makarov led everyone past the area where Ye Yu practiced, walked a little further inside, and came to a piece of charred land.
The diameter of the land was about 500 meters, circular, and it was full of cracks and traces of being burned by fire. There was no moisture, and no plants at all.
"Who did this?"
"Natural fires can't burn into such shapes," Gildarts asked curiously.
"You will know in a moment."
"Today's duel will be held here. Who among you will go first? Makarov is the riddler again.
""My, my, my, the iron fist of the fire dragon!!!" Natsu rushed forward with his fist.
Ye Yu, Gray, Erza, and Mira were a little slow to react, so they could only stand aside and watch them fight, waiting to go on stage later.
Happy, Elfman, Lisanna, and Kana, who was pulled over by Ye Yu, also stood aside as spectators.
""The roar of the fire dragon, wing attack, sword horn, iron fist!!!"
Natsu shouted out the names of his moves while attacking, and the fight seemed very intense, but in fact, Gildarts stood still the whole time and did not move at all.
Looking at his strong body and the super-advanced destructive magic, [Crush], Gildarts blocked all of Natsu's attacks with just one hand.
Gildarts even yawned in the middle of the fight, as if he was about to fall asleep. Natsu was so angry that the flames burned more vigorously and the frequency of his attacks became faster. A battle scene that was more exciting than that in a 3D movie appeared in front of Ye Yu, and it was so exciting that Ye Yu could hardly look away.
But there was still business to be done.
Ye Yu moved to Kana's side and whispered to her,"Do you want to go up and fight Gildarts later?"
"No, no thanks. I'm not as strong as Natsu and the others, so I won't go up," Kana replied weakly.
"Well... it's okay, just leave it to me," Ye Yu looked at Kana who said no, but her eyes revealed the expression of wanting to contact Gildarts, and decided to find a way by herself.
Yesterday, it took a lot of effort just to get Kana to come over as a spectator. It was too difficult to get her to take the initiative today, so it was better to start with another party.
Ignoring Kana's puzzled expression, Ye Yu stood quietly aside and watched the battle between Natsu and Gildarts.
After a while, the battle ended with Natsu's magic power exhausted and Gildarts standing still.
"Uncle, you are still as awesome as ever," Natsu said breathlessly, lying on the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly
"Natsu, you are better than before," Gildarts smiled and gave a thumbs up, encouragingly
"I will definitely win next time, uncle, just wait for me!" Natsu took two deep breaths and shouted loudly.
"Stop bragging, you stinky flame. I will definitely be the first one to defeat Gildarts next time."
"Gildarts, I will be your opponent next time!
Gray told Natsu and the others to stop, and immediately stood up to say that he was the next challenger, and casually mocked Natsu.
"Ah, what are you talking about streaking men?!"
"I must be the one who can beat the uncle first, so you don't have to..."
Before Natsu could finish, Erza stepped forward and covered his mouth, dragging him back to the audience.
If this was ignored, Natsu and Gray would quarrel for a whole day, and the next thing would not be done.
Gray didn't say much nonsense when he came on the stage, and he started a fierce attack, throwing ice shape magic at Gildarts without any cost.
"Ice-blue magic is very beautiful," Ye Yu said in his heart.
Gray has been learning modeling magic since he was a child, and he is also a disciple of the powerful wizard Uru. He has undoubtedly gone further than Ye Yu in the field of modeling magic.
Now watching Gray's battle has given Ye Yu a lot of inspiration in modeling magic.
After Ye Yu absorbs the experience of this battle, I believe that his mastery of light modeling magic will be improved.
Not long after, Gray was knocked to the ground by Gildarts's punch, ending the battle.
When Gray was dragged off the field and bickered with Natsu, Mira, who was still dressed as a little girl, On the field, followed by the cheers of Lisanna and Elfman.
Mira was directly received by the demon after entering the field. The aura of her whole body became dark and cold, and her clothes became revealing.
It's just that her body has not yet developed, it's mediocre and nothing to watch.
Mira's battle is undoubtedly more intense than Natsu and Gray, but she still can't make Gildarts move a step.
Ye Yu traveled through time in 779, and Mira became an S-class wizard in 781. Her current strength is not strong enough.
For Gildarts, Mira and Natsu are at the same level, and they can be beaten casually.
"Boom boom boom——"
Mira threw a few dark magic balls to Gildarts, splashing a lot of smoke and blocking his sight.
Then she spread her demon wings and flew to the air behind Gildarts, attacking him directly from the air, aiming at his head with a claw.
Gildarts was not disturbed by the smoke, and dodged the claw with a slight turn of his head.
He grabbed the wrist that Mira attacked with his backhand, pulled it hard, and knocked Mira to the ground.
Without any buffer, Gildarts kicked Mira with a football again.
Mira, who was knocked to the ground, reacted immediately and blocked the kick with her arm, but her body was still kicked into the air.
Mira, who flew into the air, flapped her wings to regain her balance and landed back to where she stood at the beginning.
After this attempt, Mira became excited. Only such a strong person can make people catch up.
