On the Grand Magic Games arena, Sting, Rogue, Lyon, and Yuka stood opposite each other in pairs.
The spectators in the surrounding stands were cheering excitedly.
"Both of Sabertooth's Twin Dragons are quite strong. Lyon dealing with one of them shouldn't be a problem, but Yuka probably..."
Sherry of Lamia Scale looked at Sting and Rogue on the arena, her face full of worry.
"If only Jura-san and Lyon could team up, they could definitely defeat these two from Sabertooth!"
Hearing Sherry's words, Sherria beside her spoke indignantly.
"There's no helping it. The participants were chosen by the organizers."
While the sisters Sherry and Sherria were talking, the live commentator on the high platform shouted in an impassioned tone: "The match begins!"
Clang~
With the sound of a gong, the audience's cheers were deafening.
However, the four contestants on the arena remained completely motionless.
"Rogue, these two are yours. I'm only interested in Fairy Tail's Natsu."
"You really know how to order people around."
Hearing Sting's words, Rogue responded somewhat discontentedly.
Although Rogue said this, he had already activated his magical power.
The next moment, Rogue's figure shot towards Lyon and Yuka like a shadow.
Lyon and Yuka naturally heard the conversation between Sting and Rogue.
"Trying to take on both of us alone? We're really being looked down upon!"
After saying this discontentedly, Lyon swung his arm towards the charging Rogue.
"Ice-Make: Great Condor!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Instantly, several ice condors, condensed from frigid ice, swept towards Rogue as if alive.
Facing these ice condors, Rogue's figure didn't pause at all.
When the ice condors got close, Rogue's figure twisted left and right on the ground like a snake, avoiding all the incoming ice condors.
Rogue's speed was quite swift. In just a few seconds, he had closed in on Lyon.
Then, Rogue's figure instantly sprang out from the shadow on the ground. His fist, wrapped in shadow, didn't hesitate and punched fiercely towards Lyon.
"Shadow Dragon's Slash!"
Although Rogue's speed was fast, Lyon's reaction wasn't slow either.
Before Rogue's fist could get close, Lyon waved his hand.
"Ice-Make: Ice Shield!"
The next second, a honeycomb-like ice shield wall appeared out of thin air in front of Lyon.
Bang-
Immediately after, accompanied by a violent impact sound, Rogue's attack landed on the ice shield.
While using the ice shield to block Rogue's attack, Lyon activated another spell.
"Ice-Make: Great Ape!"
Lyon moved his palms, and an exceptionally large ice ape appeared out of thin air, throwing a punch at Rogue.
Just as Rogue was about to be hit by the ice ape, his figure instantly turned into a puddle of shadow, merging with the shadow on the ground.
Boom-
Soon, the ice ape's massive fist landed on the spot where Rogue had just been.
At that moment, a violent impact sound echoed through the air.
And the entire ground was sunken and shattered by the ice ape's punch.
"Ice-Make: Tiger!"
"Ice-Make: Dragon!"
Before Rogue could emerge from the shadow, Lyon used his Ice-Make magic again, creating a massive ice tiger and an ice dragon.
"So impressive! To create such large constructs in such a short time!"
Natsu on the stands, seeing the three behemoths coiled before Lyon, exclaimed in admiration.
"That guy Lyon has gotten stronger than seven years ago!"
Gray also said with a light laugh.
While Natsu and Gray were talking, the three behemoths on the arena, under Lyon's control, launched attacks against Rogue and Sting.
Clearly, Lyon wanted to force Sting to make a move.
After all, Rogue alone wanting to take on both of them from Lamia Scale made Lyon very displeased.
"Oh, quite a bit more impressive than imagined?!"
Sting, who originally didn't plan to attack, showed some fighting spirit on his face upon seeing the huge ice ape charging at him.
When the three behemoths, the ice ape, ice dragon, and ice tiger, got close to Sting and Rogue, Rogue and Sting simultaneously unleashed their roars.
"White Dragon's... Roar!"
"Shadow Dragon's... Roar!"
For a moment, a black magical pillar and a white magical pillar shot forth from the mouths of Rogue and Sting respectively.
Soon, the two magical pillars pierced through the ice ape, ice dragon, and ice tiger.
After destroying the three behemoths, the white and black magical pillars didn't stop but continued forward, closing in on Lyon's location from both sides.
"Lyon is in danger!"
Sherria on the stands, seeing the two huge magical pillars pincer-attacking Lyon, her face changed immediately, and she shouted loudly.
However, before the two huge magical pillars could get close, Yuka, who had not yet acted beside Lyon, flashed in front of Lyon.
"Wave: Barrier!"
Yuka pushed his palms forward, and a blue magical barrier appeared before him.
Bzzzt-
Soon, the white and black magical pillars struck the magical barrier in front of Yuka.
At that moment, no explosion occurred on the arena.
There wasn't even any sound.
The roars of Sting and Rogue, upon hitting Yuka's barrier, vanished as if stones sunk into the sea.
"He actually blocked the roars of both Rogue and Sting? What kind of magic is that?"
Seeing this, the red Exceed Lector on the stands spoke with an expression of disbelief.
How powerful the roars of Rogue and Sting were, Lector naturally knew very well.
Rogue's roar alone was enough to destroy a palace.
The combined roar of Rogue and Sting would naturally be even stronger.
But now, their combined roar was easily resolved by Yuka.
No wonder Lector found it hard to believe.
Not just Lector, many spectators in the venue were also very surprised.
"Amazing! This is truly an unexpected turn of events! The magic of Rogue and Sting easily destroyed Lyon's magic, but was effortlessly neutralized by Contestant Yuka!"
The live commentator on the high platform also commentated in a very surprised voice.
Perhaps the general audience didn't know why Yuka's barrier could so easily block the Twin Dragons' roars, but Kenichi knew.
Yuka's Wave Magic could cancel out all magic.
To be precise, it neutralizes all magic.
Back on Galuna Island, Yuka had used this move to easily block Natsu's roar.
Now, Yuka using this move to block the roars of Sting and Rogue wasn't strange at all.
While Lyon and Rogue were fighting, the system's mechanical prompt also sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +17]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic attribute!]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +11]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Wave Magic attribute!]
…
Hearing this series of system prompts, Kenichi's eyebrow raised.
Originally, Kenichi wanted to collect the Dragon Slayer Magic attributes of Sting and Rogue.
But what Kenichi didn't expect was that while the system dropped Rogue's Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic attribute, it also got it in one shot dropped Yuka's Wave Magic attribute.
Although Yuka himself wasn't strong, this Wave Magic was quite impressive.
After all, it could cancel out all magical attacks.
Now that the system had dropped it, Kenichi naturally wouldn't refuse.
[Host, would you like to collect the Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic attribute?]
'Collect!'
Kenichi answered without any hesitation.
With Kenichi's command, the Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic attribute, the Wave Magic attribute, and other Magic Power attributes from the battlefield over there all converged towards Kenichi's location.
After all those attributes merged into Kenichi's body, the words [Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic] and [Wave Magic] were added to the Magic column on the virtual screen in front of Kenichi.
"Only Sting's White Dragon Slayer Magic attribute remains!"
Kenichi glanced at the Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic attribute on the screen, then turned his gaze to Sting on the arena.
Just as Kenichi was looking at Sting, Sting wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Yuka with surprise: "Oh, this is truly unexpected. To block the combined roar of me and Rogue so easily..."
"Rogue, don't intervene. These two are mine!"
Hearing Sting first not wanting to fight, then wanting to take on two alone, Rogue also looked displeased.
Just as Rogue was about to say something, an immense amount of magical power erupted from around Sting's body.
Immediately after, Sting's body was enveloped in a white light.
"White Drive!"
Seeing this transformation on Sting, Rogue didn't say anything more.
Because he knew Sting was truly serious.
