Chapter 49
- Our break for clearing the arena is over, which means it's time for the second duel! This time, two beautiful girls will clash in battle. On one side, we have "Rain Girl" Juvia Lockser, who has no equal in water magic, and on the other side, we have the one who is undoubtedly one of the strongest ice-creation mages, the one who saved our world from one of the most dangerous demons, Zeref Deliora. Hooray!
- Deliora?!
- So that's where he went?!
- Ur, thank you!!!!
After my introduction, there were immediate cries of support towards Ur. After all, a huge number of people suffered from this demon, and now seeing the one who avenged their loved ones, some of the spectators wholeheartedly rooted for her.
In the middle of the arena, one could see women standing opposite each other. If Dozhdiya was in her usual battle attire, then Ur had retained only her facial features from her original appearance: her white skin with white hair and blue lips created the appearance of an exotic, as they say in all sorts of Chinese novels, jade beauty.
While the older participant had a friendly smile on her face, Dozhdiya felt slightly aggressive.
"Even though you are dear Gray's teacher, I won't lose to you," the girl warned.
"Wait, why do I have a feeling you don't mean the tournament?" Ur asked confused and since this moment seemed perfect for a little joke, I decided to interrupt their conversation by starting the battle.
- As you can see, in the case of these contenders, this is not just a fight for advancement in the tournament, but also a fight for love, and therefore we will not drag it out. To the fight!
Juvia, hearing my words, did not listen to the woman trying to explain and turned into a literal whirlwind of water blades and attacked her rival.
- Listen to me! - Ur cried out, defending herself with an ice shield that resembled a flower.
- Juvia saw how cute Gray looked at you and now that I have made progress in our relationship, I will not allow anyone to interfere. - Rain said with madness on her face like a true yandere, this time adding sharp pieces of warm ice formed by compressing water to her water saws.
- I see you've completely lost your head from love and although I'm happy for Gray, you need to be taught a lesson. - Ur said coldly, seeing how the girl's attack began to gradually saw through her shield.
- A crown of roses!
Ur immediately sent out a huge number of ice branches with sharp thorns and roses that went straight to the attacking girl, who only managed to jump back at the last moment and surrounded herself with swirling, snake-like, voluminous stripes of ice that outwardly resembled ordinary water, but the way they blocked the truly dangerous attack shows how strong such warm ice really is.
- Hm? You're not cold. I see you've managed to get rid of your weakness to the cold.
"Of course, when Miss Wendy gave me the idea of creating ice by strongly compressing water, I learned to make my body out of this ice at the first opportunity in order to get rid of such weakness, and therefore, even in a battle, I do not plan to lose."
- Okay, I see that you can support Gray well in battle, and since I don't have to hold back, I'll show you what I got from being revived after becoming true eternal ice. - As soon as she said this, the entire arena was plunged into incredible cold, I'm sure such an aura is quite capable of competing with, and perhaps even slightly suppressing, Natsu's fiery aura. Even the barrier I set up began to be covered in a transparent ice crust. Simply put, it began to freeze the mana itself.
- Incredible! I advise you to pay close attention to what is happening in the arena, because now I am undoubtedly ready to admit that if Ur says that she is second in ice magic, no one will dare to say that he is first, because she is now freezing magic itself. - I immediately hastened to comment on such skill, I even had a feeling that if she wanted, she could freeze time itself, like Esdeath. Previously, I thought of her as someone, albeit not much, but weaker than our master, but based on what she is showing now... She is worthy of the pinnacle of the chosen ones.
- If it were the old Juvia, she would have already lost, but after training with Lady Wendy, Juvia will not give in. - from the extremely low temperature, as well as the constant attacks of hostile energy on her spells, Rain had to keep all her water in the form of warm ice, while spending a colossal amount of energy so as not to turn into an ice statue, she could not waste time, she needed to finish the battle quickly and preferably with one attack.
- I won't give you Gray! - Deciding to put all her strength into the attack, the girl turned into a real ice spear with molecular sharpening and rushed at the enemy at incredible speed, doing the same with the warm ice that had recently been circling around her.
To the surprise of Ur and the surrounding spectators, the many ice shields and the crown of roses were unable to stop Dozhdiya's advance, instantly splitting apart until, to the shocked gasps of the spectators, they pierced right into the ice creator's torso.
- So that's it, you're like me. - the exhausted Dozhdiya said in frustration, seeing that although her spears had pierced her opponent, but as it happened to her, it seemed that physical attacks were absolutely useless, because Ur was literally living ice. With tears in her eyes, the girl said pleadingly. - Don't take my dear Gray away from me.
- Silly girl. - With a warm smile, releasing the magic and taking the exhausted girl in her arms, Ur said. - Gray is like a son to me and nothing more.
- Thank you. - With tears in her eyes, Dozhdiya finally lost consciousness.
- And the mother's love for her son won! - I declared, and then quietly added, although the whole arena heard it. - And yes, incest is a family matter.
Naturally, punishment for such a phrase came instantly and after Elsa's heavy hand, my eyes darkened.
