Chapter 428 Where are you going, you dead cat (super fierce)!
Even with the release of the second magic source, Lucy's current state with two gold and one silver Celestial Spirit Cloth is already her limit.
Therefore, the power of Aquarius is actually forced out of it.
The price of doing this was that in the clash with Minerva's ultimate move in the future, they inevitably fell into a disadvantageous position, appearing as "defeated" from the audience's perspective.
His dangerous act was no less dangerous than Natsu clearing his magic power to devour the God-Slaying Flame!
Fortunately, she did it and successfully defended the last piece of ground!
The sudden turn of events caused gasps of surprise from the audience.
The pumpkin head, which was about to be eaten, suddenly stopped in its tracks, staring wide-eyed at Lucy as she struggled to get up from the water sphere.
In that situation, how did she still have the energy to notice and turn such a thing into reality?
"What an impressive Celestial Spirit Mage, Pumpkin!"
After a few seconds of silence, Pumpkin Head finally snapped out of his shock, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Mineba, enter the arena! I declare the winner of this competition to be—"
"Lucy Heartfilia is still within the water sphere's range!!"
"Ooooooo!!!" *n
It wasn't until she heard the enthusiastic cheers erupting from the crowd that Lucy's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Without the support of willpower, the injuries all over his body suddenly had no resistance, and the tearing pain, along with the magic deficiency, erupted.
The water balloon burst and crashed to the ground under the force of gravity. Lucy's vision went black, and she fell forward uncontrollably.
However, the expected scenario of falling to the ground and getting a mouthful of dirt did not happen—she landed on a strong arm.
"Well done, Lucy."
Chess appeared instantly, supporting Lucy's shoulder and feeding her a stamina booster he had prepared beforehand to replenish the mana depletion that is most important for mages.
"Sister Lucy, I'll treat you right away!"
Wendy, who had been brought over, immediately cast a healing spell, and a gentle aura appeared, stabilizing the spreading injuries.
A warm feeling flowed through my body, dispelling the burning pain.
Lucy looked at Wendy's face, her eyes dimming slightly, and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Wendy, Minerva—"
"It's okay, Lucy."
A fleeting sadness flashed in Wendy's eyes, and then she shook her head knowingly.
Compared to the regrets everyone has experienced in this world without Chesgo, the changes in our good friend Minerva are really insignificant.
He still had a chance to see Minerva "turn over a new leaf," but Lucy's father, Greg's mentor, and Erza's childhood friend—
"Hahaha! You're so cool, you bastard Lucy!"
"Hmph, since I won first place, I won't pursue the matter of you ruining my reputation~"
"Love~ I've always believed Lucy could win!"
"This is the true spirit of our guild's Celestial Spirit Mages!"
The participating teams, and even the atmosphere-building group in the stands, all rushed over, chattering about the spectacular battle that had just taken place.
Of course, the loudest voice came from Lucy's sharp wit:
"Stop it, Natsu! You're going to break my waist!"
"Grey, do you even have a reputation left? Gemini copied the real deal!"
"Where are you going to rub against, you dead cat (super fierce)!!"
On the other side, Future Minerva stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Lucy, who was surrounded by smiling faces.
His fists, hanging limply at his sides, clenched tightly with the humiliation and resentment of defeat, but soon relaxed weakly.
A sense of defeat suddenly welled up in her heart, and she felt that she had lost completely—not just in the competitive event of "naval warfare".
Right now, beside me.
Absolutely deserted.
"Are you alright? Don't worry, we'll provide you with the necessary treatment!"
When the medical team from the Grand Magic Games rushed to the scene, Minerva in the future did not speak, nor did she accept any treatment.
Dragging her heavily injured body, she silently turned around and walked step by step toward the location of the Saberbite Tiger Guild.
Led by Germain, whose face was ashen, the guild members had different expressions, but they all remained frozen in place.
Although they were in the same place, only a few meters apart, they were in two completely different worlds: behind them was a cacophony of laughter and cheers, while in front of them was the gloom of the eve of a storm.
For some reason, Minerva in the future had a strong intuition that "even if she gets first place, this scenario will not change."
Then I will use this strength to fight for my comrades who have been ridiculed for the past seven years!
Lucy's words kept echoing in the depths of her mind, and the Sabertooth princess, who once wanted to protect everyone, fell into deep confusion.
Lucy, who was arguing and bickering with her friends, seemed to notice something and looked up at the lonely figure of Future Minerva.
After thinking for a few seconds, she ultimately decided not to call out to the other person—whatever she said would sound like a victor's boast.
Fairy Tail Guild stands.
"The clash between Celestial Spirit Magic and the Eighteen War Gods of Calamity Magic was truly a spectacular battle!"
Future Mavis's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lucy, who was constantly making sarcastic remarks on the field, and said sweetly, "She really is a super powerful mage~"
When she first saw the future Minerva use the ancient magic of the Eighteen Gods of Calamity, she was genuinely shocked, despite her extensive knowledge.
"Hahaha! Of course!" Makarov put his hands on his hips, proudly raised his head and puffed out his chest, his old face full of smugness.
The little girl Asuka, perched on his head, turned to look at the future Bisca: "Mommy, I want to become a Celestial Spirit Mage like Big Sister Lucy!"
"Huh? You're not learning to shoot anymore?" The future Bisca couple were taken aback.
Celestial magic isn't easy to learn; the most important key alone could drain their entire savings!
"Just kidding~" Asuka winked playfully.
I don't know if it's because he's been in the guild for a long time, but this kid looks very well-behaved, but he's actually quite mischievous.
Behind them, the remaining members of the group, including Marcao, who had endured seven years of laughter, were already moved to tears.
"That's wonderful, Rukia!"
In the future, Levy's eyes also welled up with tears, feeling very happy for her best friend.
Afterwards, she wrote the following in her diary about the competition:
[The fourth day of the Grand Magic Games, the naval battle. I think I will never forget what happened that day, and I will never forget that dazzling starlight.]
Lucy, from another world, overpowered all the guilds and defeated the strongest mage of the strongest guild.
[Her scarred appearance and the crowd surrounding her shone like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating the entire scene.]
