The walking dragon son

Stinger and Rogge were quite brutal, and almost all the other players limped to the finish line.

Fairy Tail had a good start, successfully scoring ten points, and there were no surprises in the second half of the battle. Fairy Tail's score increased to 20p, ranking first.

The way of fighting this year is different from that of seven years later. After seven years, not only the competition teams will be arranged by the competition team, but also the participating players cannot be arranged by themselves.

The purpose is simply to arrange people with similar strengths together to make it easier to collect magic power.

However, the first kingdom obviously did not think so carefully, and the battle still needs to test some luck.

Each team will have a total of four games. If they are lucky, they will of course encounter a weak team like Dusk Ghost. Of course, if they encounter a strong team, they will have to consider themselves unlucky.

Of course, Ciel doesn't have to worry about this. Even if he encounters the Scales of the Snake Princess, it will only take some effort!

On the first day of the battle, the opponent drawn by lot was the crow's tail.

Crow's Tail is a dark guild founded by Ivan, the biological son of Makarov, the third generation president of Fairy Tail, who was expelled from the guild.

Previously, the Tail of the Crow had always been a dark guild that was not managed by the Guild Alliance. Logically speaking, it was not eligible to participate in the Great Demon Fight.

Ciel still remembers that in the original plot, it was not until the Sirius group returned seven years later that Crow's Tail applied for the qualifications of a regular guild.

And they made it clear that they were targeting Fairy Tail that time, and they only participated in order to completely knock Fairy Tail into the dust.

But this time, I don’t know what Yiwang did, and he was qualified to participate in the martial arts performance of the Great Demon Fight in advance.

And they didn't hide their ill will towards Fairy Tail at all.

During the race around the city, the crow's tail was also the most insidious against Stinger and Rogge.

The players who participated in the battle even released highly toxic miasma on the field, hoping to win the game by this means.

However, after Kagura came on the stage, he only used the "Gravity Sword·Abyss". The heavy slash directly split the miasma, and instantly killed the tail contestants of the great crow who was hiding in the miasma and was still chattering.

Other villains died because they talked too much, but they killed the protagonist first. The guy who thought he would win just because of the miasma was just an out-and-out idiot.

Anyway, Charles saw the ugly expression of Ivan in the stands. He didn't know if it was because his men were really embarrassed.

In this way, the first day of competition came to an end, and everyone saw the power of Fairy Tail.

He also told other guilds that even if the main force is temporarily absent, no one can take away the number one position in the Fairy Tail Kingdom.

The other players returned to their places of residence and began to rest. The first day of competition made everyone nervous for the next competition. It would be impossible not to recharge their batteries.

There is only one exception!

In the darkness of the night, Ciel quietly jumped out of the window and moved like a ghost towards the palace of the Kingdom of Fiore, Meluklias, the Palace of Lanterns.

During the game in the morning, Ciel had already paid attention to the flow of magic power throughout Krokas, and sure enough he discovered that the magic power in the entire city was converging beneath the palace.

And that should be the location of the Eclipse Gate.

Confirming the status of the Eclipse Gate was originally one of the purposes of Ciel coming to participate in the Great Demon Fight, and he just took advantage of the night to achieve this purpose.

Without alerting the palace guards, Ciel quietly entered the palace.

To be honest, Ciel didn't remember how to enter the palace underground. Even for Ciel, memory has its limits. So from the beginning, Charles consciously deepened his memory of some important information.

Of course, those unimportant and vague memories are forgotten to make room for important information.

Familiarity with the route is also one of the purposes of Charles's night visit to the palace.

Rather than running around without a clue, Ciel followed the line of magic input. Sure enough, Ciel soon arrived at the Eclipse Gate smoothly.

Looking at this tall door covered with mysterious patterns, Ciel couldn't help showing a nostalgic expression.

It was through this door that Teacher Anna sent herself, Natsu and the others to this era, but she went to other worlds midway due to world magic.

Speaking of which, the operating mechanism of this door is the magic of the stars, which uses the different time rules between the stars and the real world to travel through time and space.

Although Star Spirit Magic seems to be just a special summoning magic, it also has the disadvantage that it cannot be activated without the key.

But this magic has many extended applications, and Eclipse Gate is just one of them. The Super Magical Star Diagram is also a powerful move that can only be used by the Celestial Spirit Mage.

Even using the golden key as a sacrifice, the Celestial Spirit King with peak combat power can be summoned. It should be said that it is indeed the magic mastered by the heroine!

After carefully checking the Eclipse Gate, it was indeed connected to a complex magic circle and was slowly charging.

However, the efficiency of this charging is really not high, and it is still far from fully activating the Eclipse Gate!

Apart from that, Ciel didn't notice any other abnormalities on it.

The Eclipse Gate is not only a key prop in the martial arts plot of the Great Demon Fight, but there are also many mysteries on it.

After all, it was something made by Zeref, so you can never be too cautious.

Ciel very much suspected that the unknown black existence on future Rogge in the original plot was related to the Eclipse Gate.

And why Acnologia appears in Rogge's future timeline is also a question.

The reliable explanation is that Acnologia sensed the power belonging to Zeref on the activated Eclipse Gate.

Therefore, Acnologia did not appear again after Natsu destroyed the Eclipse Gate in the original plot.

However, the Eclipse Gate is still in a silent state, and Ciel has no way to confirm this. But at least now Ciel can confirm that there will be no accidents at the Eclipse Gate.

At this moment, Ciel heard the sound of footsteps and hurriedly hid in the shadows to the side, concentrating his magic power and aura.

Several footsteps came closer and closer together with the sound of metal collision, and the visitor quickly stopped in front of the Eclipse Gate.

Listening to the noise, some of the people who came were wearing heavy armor.

"Knight Commander, how is the situation?"

This voice sounded quite familiar. Ciel looked out and saw that the speaker was a rather short middle-aged man.

Ciel remembered that this voice was clearly the voice of the master of ceremonies, Pumpkin Head, during the martial arts performance of the Demon Fight.

The true identity of this person should be Thomas E. Fiore, the king of the Kingdom of Fiore.

The man following him wearing heavy armor was Alka Dios, the knight leader of the kingdom.

Alka said: "Sorry for your worries, although I really want to tell you that everything went well.

But so far there is still a problem, the magic power collection efficiency is too low. I am afraid that no matter how much the magic circle of "Solar Eclipse" is improved, it will not be able to collect the required magic power quickly. "

Thomas said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we still lack the key golden keys for the time being, so it doesn't matter even if the collection efficiency is lower.

Speaking of which, wasn't there news about the golden keys of Pisces scattered around before? "

Alka replied: "Indeed, it's a pity that the key has been taken away when we arrived. The suspicious target is the magician of Fairy Tail."

Thomas pondered for a while and then said: "In this way, most of the golden keys will be concentrated at Fairy Tail, so we don't need to put in more effort."

Ciel, who was hiding in the dark, did not have any mood swings because of being remembered. Lucy had so many golden keys that she had already memorized. One more key was nothing.

However, the kingdom's intelligence system is quite advanced. I got the Pisces Golden Key when I was doing a mission in a very remote area. I didn't expect that the kingdom had already gotten the news.

It's a pity that they don't know that not only Pisces, but also Ciel has obtained the key to Libra, and the twelve golden keys are already in Fairy Tail.

After confirming that the kingdom would not engage in other matters during the conversation between the two, Ciel silently left the palace and returned to the hotel.

The basic purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Ciel can concentrate on the next game.
