In the Grand Magic Games's venue, the battle between Kagura and Bacchus had already entered the climax.
Kagura dashed forward, her figure instantly closing in on Bacchus.
Without any hesitation, she fiercely swung the still-sheathed sword in her hand towards Bacchus.
Facing this strike from Kagura, Bacchus didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
He moved his feet, and his figure instantly shot backwards.
It was at the moment Bacchus burst backwards that the sword in Kagura's hand fell.
"Fearing Nothing Under Heaven, Adamantine Form!"
Bang-
At this moment, a violent collision sound came through the air.
Then, it was seen that the sword in Kagura's hand directly struck the ground where Bacchus had just been.
Accompanied by a loud roar, the entire ground instantly shattered and cratered.
A large amount of rock fragments scattered and flew in all directions.
'Is that a sword or a hammer?'
Bacchus, whose figure hadn't yet landed, felt his heart shudder upon seeing the power of Kagura's strike.
Although the sword in Kagura's hand was still sheathed, he could tell that Kagura's slashing attack was incredibly powerful, and if he was hit by it, this battle would be over.
The spectators in the stands, seeing the towering cloud of dust rising from the arena below, were also frightened by Kagura's strike.
"Such terrifying destructive power!"
"It actually shattered the ground!"
At this moment, Kagura's first strike missed. Before Bacchus's figure could even land, she immediately launched another attack.
"Fearing Nothing Under Heaven, Slashing Form!"
Kagura gripped her sword with both hands and swung it fiercely from low to high.
Whoosh-
As the sword in Kagura's hand moved, a purple blade aura swept towards Bacchus with a force that seemed to split heaven and earth.
Watching the purple blade aura rapidly enlarge in his vision, Bacchus didn't hesitate. He clenched his fists and crossed his arms in front of him protectively.
The next second, the purple blade aura slashed onto Bacchus's arms.
Clang-
Instantly, the steel guards on Bacchus's arms were shattered.
Seeing the guards on his hands shattered, Bacchus was first shocked, then he looked at Kagura and grinned.
"I never thought I, Bacchus, would be forced into such a state~!"
After saying this, Bacchus took the gourd from his waist and drank from it heartily.
"Alcohol?"
Seeing Bacchus drinking at a time like this, Kagura's eyebrows immediately furrowed. She then moved her feet, and her figure shot directly towards Bacchus.
After closing in on Bacchus, the sword in Kagura's hand came slashing down.
But, just as Kagura's sword was about to hit Bacchus, Bacchus's body curved in a bizarre arc, evading Kagura's slash.
"He's done it! Drunken Hawk Bacchus!"
Perhaps Kagura didn't know why Bacchus was drinking, but the members of Quatro Cerberus knew.
Bacchus was known as the Drunken Hawk.
When he got drunk, his power would reach its peak.
Kagura continuously swung her sword at Bacchus, but Bacchus's swaying body always avoided her slashes at the most opportune moment.
"What's going on with that guy?"
Natsu on the stands, seeing Bacchus's comical movements after getting drunk, said with a stunned expression.
"This is Bacchus's ability. After he gets drunk, his body gains super high reaction capabilities, and his movements become completely unpredictable!"
Hearing Natsu's question, Erza explained.
Meanwhile, Kenichi raised an eyebrow, a strange expression appearing on his face.
'Isn't this just that Drunken Fist thing?'
While Natsu and Erza were talking, the drunk Bacchus on the arena launched a counterattack against Kagura.
"Drunken Splitting Palm, Seven-Strike Combo!"
Bacchus rushed at Kagura at an unbelievable speed, his palms striking out repeatedly.
In just an instant, Bacchus had landed seven palm strikes.
If it were an ordinary person, they would surely be hit by this move of Bacchus.
But Kagura was no ordinary person.
The moment Bacchus charged over, Kagura held her sword horizontally, then spun it at high speed like a helicopter's rotor.
Bacchus's seven-strike combo was completely blocked by Kagura's sword.
"She actually blocked Bacchus's seven-strike combo in his drunken state!"
"Just who is this woman?"
The members of Quatro Cerberus, seeing Kagura block Bacchus's attack, looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Kagura, do your best!"
At this time, Milianna and the others from Mermaid Heel also shouted encouragement to Kagura.
Hearing Milianna and the others, Kagura's expression shifted slightly.
"Let's end this battle in one go!"
As she spoke, Kagura assumed a stance.
The drunken Bacchus, seeing Kagura's stance, also started moving at high speed.
"Gravity Press!"
Just as Bacchus's figure was about to reach Kagura, an exceptionally powerful gravity, like a towering mountain, pressed down on Bacchus's body.
At this moment, the ground beneath the charging Bacchus instantly cratered.
Before Bacchus's legs could even buckle, Kagura, holding her sword, rushed to a position behind Bacchus.
"Fearing Nothing Under Heaven, Soaring Form!"
Whoosh- Whoosh-
A cross-shaped sword aura instantly struck Bacchus.
Immediately after, Bacchus's body fell to the ground.
From Kagura applying gravity to Bacchus falling, it took only the blink of an eye.
Kagura's movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and water.
The spectators couldn't really see what happened.
They only saw Kagura instantly appear behind Bacchus, and then Bacchus fell.
"Amazing, Bacchus is down!"
"Kagura wins! Mermaid Heel gets 10 points!"
Seeing Bacchus fall, the live commentator on the announcer's stand declared in an impassioned tone.
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the stadium instantly erupted with cheers.
"Although I don't know what happened, that female mage from Mermaid Heel is really strong!"
Milianna and the other sisters cheered heartily upon seeing Kagura's victory.
"As expected of Kagura!"
Erza also said with a smile: "It seems Kagura has also become much stronger these past seven years!"
"She has indeed changed quite a bit!"
Hearing Erza's words, Kenichi looked at Kagura and also said with a smile.
