Chapter 426 Lucy VS Minerva
Without keeping him in suspense, Chase pointed to Lucy's smooth, fair back.
There, the dials of antique clocks appear and disappear in the water, and upon closer inspection, one can see the escapement mechanism swinging left and right and the second hand rotating one tick at a time.
"It's the clockwork Hokkichim!" Natsu immediately thought of Lucy, the Celestial Spirit who could hide people.
Not only his name, but this time he even got his zodiac sign wrong.
"That's right, Hololochim has a space that is completely isolated from the outside world, and Lucy gained this characteristic through the Celestial Cloth."
"The key should be hidden inside her body right now," Chase explained.
Although the silly little sister couldn't gain any combat skills from Future Lucy, she still realized many problems after the two exchanged their experiences.
For example, protecting the most important Celestial Key during battle, and "learning new magic," which I mentioned the night before last.
The correct way to use the Horologium Spirit Robe was probably discovered under these circumstances, and it may even have been inspired by Erza's "Knight" magic!
"I see, no wonder her hairstyle changed too!"
"But when did you put on the Celestial Spirit Robe?"
"It was probably when Aries blocked the attack and created the mist."
"Wow, you actually thought of so much in such a short time? Is this still Wadashi?!"
"Oh dear, this is what happens when you spend too much time with cunning card dealers~"
The sudden burst of powerful magic from the giant water sphere interrupted everyone's casual conversation.
"Minerva, I'm sure you already know, your magic can't steal my key."
Lucy looked at Future Minerva and advised, "So, don't resort to those futile little tricks."
Metaphor!
"Useless and futile? You really dare to say that—"
As if provoked by those words, Future Minerva's face was filled with rage, and her magic power surged wildly, distorting the surrounding seawater and space with chaotic energy.
"My power is absolute, and with this power, I became the strongest mage of the strongest guild!"
"A pathetic weakling like you has no right to be compared to me!!"
The moment she finished speaking, Future Minerva suddenly vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, its fist, brimming with the power of chaotic space, disrupted the water flow and smashed straight at Lucy's head!
"Lucy!!" Loki and Aries called out urgently.
The opponent's magic was so strange that they didn't even have time to react before Lucy was already at close range.
boom!
A muffled sound rang out, but Future Minerva's pupils contracted sharply: She actually—caught my spatial explosion?!
Following her incredulous gaze, one could see a golden light flashing and colliding with a distorted dark green halo.
The two magical forces were locked in a stalemate, their energy colliding and spilling outwards, causing the entire giant water sphere to tremble.
Lucy, dressed in her black gown, changed into her Leo Star Spirit Robe and firmly blocked the attack with her fists!
Looking closely at Future Minerva's distorted face, she remembered her promise to Wendy yesterday: if they met on the field, she would greet the other person for her.
"Is that so? Then I'll use this power—"
Her long, golden hair swung violently in the turbulent water. Leo Lucy's eyes were sharp, her tone resolute, "I will fight for my comrades who have been mocked for the past seven years!!"
The lion's radiance burst forth, breaking through the spatial vortex and forcefully repelling the future Minerva!
This level of skill is clearly insufficient to keep Minerva out of the water polo range in the future.
While stabilizing herself, she created several spatial vortexes with explosive properties around Lucy.
"Explosive space!"
Boom boom boom boom!
The flames from the series of explosions engulfed the entire area, only to be wiped away by the seawater, revealing a cracked barrier of light magic and Lucy, the constellation Leo, floating within it.
Seeing this, Loki breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be so skilled with my magic, Lucy."
He knew that Lucy from another world could use the Celestial Cloth, but he never imagined it had reached this level!
"Wow! Lucy's swimsuit suddenly transformed into a black evening gown, and she engaged in a spectacular battle of offense and defense with Minerva using light magic!"
In the commentary booth, Chabadi looked at Yajima with confusion. "Mr. Yajima, what's going on? Is that a costume-changing spell?"
"Although it's somewhat similar to a costume change spell, it's actually a Celestial Spirit Robe that allows Celestial Spirit Mages to gain some of the Celestial Spirit's power."
Yajima puffed out his chest proudly, exuding an air of calm and worldly wisdom, and said, "It's a high-level expression of Protoss magic."
What he was thinking was: Luckily, I asked Pony about another Fairy Tail member last night, otherwise I would have been embarrassed right now!
Indeed, even before this, he had never heard of celestial magic being used in this way.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" Special guest Rabian still acted like an NPC.
With the expert explanation, the audience immediately erupted in cheers, thrilled to have witnessed such advanced Protoss magic.
The most stunning sight was undoubtedly the performances of Yukino Mirai and Princess Emerald in the audience.
Knight Commander Arcadios broke out in a cold sweat: how could he have wanted to kidnap such a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage?
"However, the five-minute special rule time is up," Pumpkin Head reminded him, looking slightly dejected.
With the time limit over, the only remaining option is to determine the first and second place winners of this competition.
Unfortunately, no one at the scene paid any attention.
Inside the water sphere.
In the future, Minerva regained her composure and coldly stared at Lucy, who was surrounded by floating golden fragments, emanating an aura even more dangerous than before.
Tigers may get angry at the offense of weaker animals, but when faced with a predator of equal strength, they only think about how to kill it.
After their brief exchange, Minerva no longer underestimated Lucy and was thrilled by it!
"If this continues, Natsu and the others will laugh at us and we'll be relegated to the sidelines."
Loki's body glowed with golden light as he hurtled toward Future Minerva at incredible speed.
He sensed the oppressive and heavy magical power emanating from the other party and prepared to take the lead to help Lucy gather more information.
Future Minerva stood motionless, expressionless, as Loki's fist rapidly enlarged in her pupils until there was no way to avoid it.
boom!
A burst of golden light erupted, but the one who was attacked was someone else entirely.
"Aries?!" Loki's expression changed drastically.
"I'm sorry, Leo—"
Aries was equally confused, and although she didn't know what had happened, she still apologized before returning to the Protoss Realm.
Lucy glared at Future Minerva, who had suddenly appeared where Aries was, and snapped, "What the hell have you done?!"
"It seems you only know the basics of my magic."
Minerva, without reservation, confidently spread her hands, "As you can see, I can exchange any object or person in this water sphere."
Is it similar to Chesgo's trap card "Twist"?
Lucy was startled, as she had never seen this ability in Minerva from her original world—after all, she had only just learned the Eighteen Divine Magic of the Calamity Demon.
"In exchange, could you tell me why your space—"
Minerva changed the subject abruptly, her voice turning serious. "Different from the surrounding area?"
What she actually wanted to replace was Lucy, but she chose Aries after realizing she couldn't.
