Fairy Tail: Marrying the Dragon Slayer Queen Irene at the Beginning

Chapter 245: The Fairy Tail 72-Hour Fighting Tournament officially begins! The top fighters show off their skills!
"no……"

"If Ian, Irene and the others also participate in the competition, then what are we competing for?!"

"Do you think that with our strength, we can compete with these dragon-level monsters for the top three positions? It's totally impossible, right?"

The crowd, who were originally full of excitement, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. The enthusiasm that had been rising in their hearts was all extinguished at this moment.

"Ha ha……"

"Otherwise, why do you think the prize money for this year's competition is so much higher than in the past?!"

"Do you think I am someone who likes to do charity?"

Makarov stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his guild members with a look of calculation in his eyes.

Well, when there is a major crisis that threatens the guild, you can always trust Makarov. When there is no major crisis that threatens the guild, Makarov is the biggest crisis faced by the members of the Fairy Tail Guild.

What? Fairy Tail Guild, 24-hour endurance race, the punishment for the last place is to publish a super image-destroying funny outfit photo in a magic magazine...

What? Ordering guild members to support their friend's restaurant and return a favor to the friend at the same time, playing a trick on the social world...

Things like this were all caused by Lao Ma.

Makarov: "What a joke! If I am not abstract myself, how can the mages in our guild be so abstract?!"

"Anyway..."

"I don't even want the rewards for the top three."

"But I think we can still strive for the reward of reaching the Western Continent of Alakidacia or the Imperial Palace in the capital of the Albares Empire within 72 hours."

Gildarts gently rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said seriously and sincerely: "After all, no matter how you look at it, the bonuses are not small~"

"Yup!"

"Even if we take away the rewards for the top three..."

"As long as we can reach the palace smoothly, we can also get a bonus of 20 million J."

"Even if we are unlucky and fail to reach the palace, we can still get a bonus of 10 million J just by reaching the capital..."

"Even if we are a little less lucky, we can still get a bonus of 5 million J just by setting out from the port of the Western Continent, even if we fail to reach the capital in the end, even if we are halfway there."

"From this perspective, we should try our best to enjoy this competition..."

Following Gildarts' words, everyone quickly became agitated again.

Because the rewards for this competition can really be described as generous, everyone is looking forward to it.

"For ten million!!"

Finally, someone shouted in the crowd, "For 10 million!", and the whole venue became restless...

"It seems that you have completely figured it out..."

"In that case, I'll give you one hour to get to the dock in Hargeon City. I'll start counting the time from one hour later..."

Makarov paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Don't you understand? The next train from Magnolia to Harugeon will leave in fifteen minutes. Those who haven't bought tickets should hurry up!"

"After all, if you miss this flight, the next train to Hargeon will take an hour and a half, which means you will be at least an hour and a half behind the others."

"In other words, the game has already begun from now on..."

When Makarov said this, his face gradually became gloomy, and his slightly narrowed eyes were full of shrewdness and cunning.

"what?!"

After Makarov finished speaking, everyone present could no longer sit still. After shouting loudly, they all started to act...

"Change clothes, racing armor."

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'll be leaving first..."

The first person to react was Erza. She changed from the knight armor she was wearing to a set of thin jogging suits, and then ran towards the train station without any hesitation.

"Erusa has already started to act."

Seeing this, Makarov reminded everyone.

"Erusa is so cunning..."

"Damn it, I have to leave right away!"

"Receive Satan's Soul!"

Mirajane, who regarded Erza as her lifelong enemy, could no longer do anything after seeing that her rival Erza had already set out one step ahead of her. She directly received the Soul of Satan and flew into the air.

"Mirajah will be punished for one hour for violating the rules of the competition."

"Miraje's game time has been changed from the original 72 hours to 70 hours and 58 minutes."

When Makarov saw Mirajane accept the Demon Soul and spread her wings to fly, he immediately showed his friendly smile again and announced Mirajane's results and the punishment she received.

"Damn, I forgot that flying is not allowed in this competition."

When Mirajane heard this, her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she fell to the ground and ran away at a very fast speed.

Well, after Mirajane received the demon soul, even without using the demon's flying ability, her running speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

"Receive Cheetah Soul!"

On the other side, Elfman and Lisanna both accepted the cheetah, the fastest animal on earth under normal conditions, in order to narrow the gap between them.

Well, in terms of running speed alone, the demon souls that are better at flying are obviously inferior to the animal souls that are very good at running...

For a moment, Mirajane was surpassed by Elfman and Lisanna. The two looked at their sister behind them and said, "I'm sorry, dear sister Mirajane, but we will never lose to you in the running competition."

"Hey! You two guys..."

"Wait for me a moment!"

Mirajane looked at Elfman and Lisanna running at full speed, his face froze, and he said: "Anyway, I will be a little gentler in the future, don't abandon me too!"

"Ice Shape Magic Carpet..."

Just as Mirajane finished speaking...

Without waiting for Elfman and Lisanna's reaction.

Cold air suddenly burst out from Gray's body, forming a thick layer of ice on the ground under everyone's feet.

"If you like running so much?!"

"On a carpet made of ice, run!"

Gray raised the corner of his mouth and said so as he looked at the people who set out early.

"call out!"

Sure enough, just as Gray expected...

After he used the ice shaping magic, Lisanna, Elfman, and Erza, who were running ahead, all slipped and fell far away.

Among them, Erza stared at Gray in the distance with murderous eyes. Her hoarse voice, like the most vicious devil's voice from hell, called out Gray's name: "Gray, I will remember you."

"Forehead……"

"I forgot that Erza was one of the people who left early."

"This is bad."

Seeing this, Gray turned extremely pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he spoke.

"Gray, just wait for death..."

Erza's feet slipped and she continued to slide on the ice, staring at Gray as she spoke.

If not, as long as both feet left the ground and flew into the air, even if it was against the rules, Erza would have already flown up and dealt a heavy blow to Yu Gray.

However, it was the Fairy Tail Guild that set the rules for this endurance run, which extended Gray's 'lifespan'.

"Gray, you dare to attack Erza. I respect you as a man."

Natsu looked at Gray, who looked melancholy and lost, with an irrepressible smugness on his face. When he passed by Gray, he gently patted Gray's shoulder and said, "Today, you are awesome."

Well, Natsu didn't compete with Gray today for who would be the Fairy Tail guild's number one hero.

Gray even dared to hit Erza...

Let Gray win.
"Gudong~"

When Gray heard this, he swallowed and his originally pale and panicked face became even more flustered.

"no solution anymore……"

"It seems that this child is completely ruined."

"I can only find time to work with Mika to give Gray a brother or sister~"

On the other side, Gin looked at Gray who accidentally hurt Erza. He shook his head helplessly and sighed helplessly: "Gray, it's not that father won't help you! It's you who provoked the person. Even I can't afford to offend my father~"

"There's really no other way..."

Beside Gin, Uru, Gray's master, Urrutia, Gray's sister, and Leon, Gray's brother, all shook their heads.

Well, Gray is indeed completely hopeless.

Even when everyone had already given Gray a death diagnosis, the battle continued.

"boom!!"

Natsu's feet were burning with blazing power, melting the ice beneath his feet. He ran all the way to the train station in Magnolia Town: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Haha! Don't try to get ahead of me..."

Lacusas is charged with electricity and flies forward rapidly!
Because flying is prohibited during the competition...

Lacusas's original plan to elementalize his body and fly directly to the train station was also shattered.

However, Lacusas can use lightning to accelerate his body, allowing him to run faster. Obviously, compared to Natsu's fire, Lacusas accelerated by lightning is faster!
After Lacusas started, he passed Natsu at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly shortened the distance between himself and the train station.

"Damn it! Lacusas you run too fast."

Seeing this, Natsu couldn't help but roar.

"Ha ha……"

Unfortunately, Lacusas just sneered and let Natsu bark behind him.

In Lacusas's eyes, this was nothing but the howling of a defeated dog.

"As expected of Lacusas."

"Did you see that?! This is Lacusas's strength..."

“Among the younger generation, Lacusas is definitely the best.”

The three Thunder Gods, led by Fried, who had not yet started to act, looked at Lacusas who was constantly advancing, as if they were also moving forward, and cheered excitedly.

then……

"boom!"

Accompanied by a piercing roar.

Lacusas crashed fiercely into a small mountain in front of him, which was taller than ten buildings, about 30 meters high...

For a moment, the arrogant Lacusas seemed like gold embedded in jade, quietly stuck in the cracks of the stone...

Also, because of the electric current wrapped around Lacusas' body, it was shining, particularly dazzling and eye-catching.

"..."

As for Lacusas himself, although he did not suffer too much harm, he was so embarrassed by this scene that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Well, I have to say, it's quite showy.

"Lacusas, are you okay?!"

At this moment, Bigusro, Alba Green, and Freed seemed to be heartbroken, wailing loudly, "Impossible, no matter how fast Lacusas is, he wouldn't accidentally crash into the mountain! Also, we saw with our own eyes that the mountain was not on the street just now. It was obvious that someone moved the mountain here and deliberately stopped Lacusas."

"Ugh……"

"Lacusas, you are careless."

Just when the three Thunder Gods were at a loss...

As Brandish spoke, her body suddenly became incomparably huge...

In the blink of an eye, it became as big as a small town.

Compared to Brandish's current size, the kilometer-long giant created by Makarov's giant magic seems a little dwarfed.

"Wow! Giantess..."

In the small town of Magnolia, the townspeople looked at the sudden change in Brandish and spoke in shock.

"It's Brandish..."

At this moment, the Thunder Gods finally knew who had attacked Lacusas? !
Unfortunately, Brandish is too strong, overwhelmingly strong...

To the point that they didn't even know how to seek revenge on Brandish.

As everyone was thinking...

Brandish took a light step forward and arrived at the train station.

For Brandish, the distance between the train station and the Fairy Tail Guild was literally just one step away.

In fact, if Brandish wasn't lazy and had no interest in winning first place in the competition, she could have run to the neighboring Hargeon Port within a minute.

"Isn't Buti's magic too good at speeding up the journey?!"

"Unfortunately, my time magic cannot be used to speed up the journey during the competition..."

Dimalia looked at Brandish, who was the first to arrive at the station. There was a hint of envy in her eyes, and she sighed helplessly...

According to the rules of this game, the time magic she possessed could only be used in battle and could not be used as a tool for traveling...

Therefore, every time Timaria activates the time magic, after canceling the magic, she must return to the position before she activated the time magic, otherwise it would be considered cheating.

"Then I will move forward too."

At this moment, Jet stretched his muscles slightly, making a slight "crunch, crunch" sound, and then his body disappeared from the spot in an instant like lightning.

As a user of speed magic, every year's endurance race is Jeter's highlight moment.

"Well, I'll try to imitate you guys a little bit!"

Just as Jet was hurrying on his way...

'Magic King' August suddenly laughed.

Well, top-level combat power, someone finally took action.

"boom!"

Just for a moment...

Auguste became larger than Brannish, and even larger than Bran after using extreme magnification.

This is not over yet...

After Auguste became as big as the town, he smiled and said softly, "I saw something interesting just now, let me use it too~"

"Let me show you what extreme speed magic is!!"

Yes, August replicated Jet's speed magic and directly upgraded Jet's speed magic to extreme speed magic.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"It's becoming as big as a small town and using extreme speed magic. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?!"

In response to this, all the magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild were dumbfounded.

If Auguste, who has already grown tens of thousands of meters tall, uses speed magic, wouldn't he be able to reach the Western Continent in no time? !
After all, the distance between the Western Continent and the Ishgar Continent is nearly 100,000 kilometers. After dividing it by 10,000 times and converting it to the ratio of a normal person...

For Auguste now, it is only equivalent to ten kilometers for a normal person.

As for Jet’s speed, the fastest moment is around Mach 3!

That's one kilometer per second...

If you run 10 kilometers, it will take at most ten seconds.

in other words.

It took Auguste no more than ten seconds to run to the Western Continent.

"What the hell is this?!"

In this regard, the magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild felt deeply helpless.

This guy August is simply a 'hanger on the wall'.

"boom!"

As everyone was thinking...

Auguste had disappeared from the spot.

It has even disappeared from the continent of Ishgar.

"In a situation where time, space, and flight magic are not allowed, Auguste's magic is truly 'all-powerful'~"

"But my additional magic isn't bad either..."

Irene looked at Auguste, who had already set out and was almost reaching the Western Continent, and narrowed her eyes slightly, activating her own additional magic while speaking.

"Additional High Speed!"

When Irene finished speaking, her figure had long disappeared, and her voice was far behind Irene's speed.

"How could I possibly let you get there first?!"

However, Irene's speed still couldn't escape the eyes of the strong man of the same level!

Selene's pupils shrank slightly, she locked onto Irene who was moving at high speed on the ground, and her body was launched out like a cannonball.

Others are just in a hurry...

Selene was just trying to cause trouble for Irene.

"It looks like we have to move on, father..."

“Don’t let others look down on you.”

"Let's see who is the strongest fire dragon in the world!"

"Of course, the premise of what I said is that you are not allowed to use magic other than fire..."

Seeing this, Ignia turned sideways to look at his father Igniel and spoke with a smile.

"of course can."

Igniel nodded slightly and agreed to Igniel's invitation. He said softly: "After all, the strongest fire dragon is naturally..."

"Yes, the most powerful fire dragon in the world... naturally it's me!"

"The noble and great sun dragon Escanor."

While Ignia was talking to Ignia, a man who was radiating a blazing light, like the sun, overheard their conversation...

At this moment, Escanor, who was in daytime form, walked over. There was no joy or sadness on his face, and he spoke as if he was stating a fact.
