Chapter 359 Mechanical Magic Monster (Update 1)
"Good morning, everyone. I'm Aba. I'm honored to be the host of the first Grand Magic Martial Arts.
On behalf of the kingdom, I welcome everyone!"
As the sound of the magic microphone rang throughout the venue, the Grand Magic Martial Arts event officially began.
"Let's first introduce the special guests this time.
They are Mr. Yajima, former member of the Magic Council, and Mr. Lahar, the current captain of the Fourth Force Supervision Unit of the Magic Council and the leader of the Rune Knights."
On the stage, next to the golden square-faced host, Yajima, who has changed his career to become a chef, and Lahar, who wears glasses and wears the Magic Council uniform, stood up at the same time and waved to the audience below.
After the two sat down, the host continued to introduce:
"There are a total of 101 participating teams in this conference, and they come from the 101 wizard guilds in the kingdom.
These guilds are: Snake Princess Scale, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, Four-Headed Hound, Sword Bite Tiger, Snake Demon Fin, Giant Nose, Head of the Headless Knight, Earth Spirit Wheel, Poison Demon Fang. Fairy Tail."
When some of the guilds in front were reported, especially big guilds like Snake Princess Scale and Blue Pegasus, which were as famous as Fairy Tail before, the audience was full of applause and cheers.
When reporting for small guilds such as Head of the Headless Knight and Earth Spirit Wheel, which were unknown, there were also sparse applause.
But when reporting for the Fairy Tail Guild, the whole audience suddenly became quiet, and then all eyes looked at George and his four people and one cat below, including the other guild participants nearby, who also looked over.
After that, various discussions were heard.
"Didn't they say that the main members of the Fairy Tail Guild disappeared in the sea and have not been found yet."
"What? I heard that those main members are dead."
"I heard that all the members of the entire guild are dead. I didn't expect that there are still wizards participating."
"Are these the participating wizards of Fairy Tail? How come I don't recognize any of them?"
As the most powerful wizard guild in the kingdom, Fairy Tail often makes various big news events, so everyone has naturally heard of it.
Similarly, the big news that the main members of Fairy Tail disappeared on Tenrou Island broke out a few months ago and also shocked the entire kingdom.
However, the audience at the scene and other participating wizard guilds did not expect that Fairy Tail would actually participate in this grand magic show under such circumstances.
Because this is destined to have unsatisfactory results and shame the once strongest wizard guild, it is better to stay honestly and at least leave some good memories for everyone.
Among them, there are many participating wizard guilds, looking at George's four people and one cat, with malicious smiles on their faces.
Some of them were wizard guilds that had bad relations with Fairy Tail, and some of them wanted to take this opportunity to step on Fairy Tail to gain some vanity.
As the strongest wizard guild in the past, it was inevitable that there would be some friction with other guilds. It didn't matter if they were strong enough before, but now that they are in trouble, these vicious dogs want to step on them.
Of course, there are also guilds like Blue Pegasus and Snake Princess Scales that are on good terms with Fairy Tail, and they still waved to this side in a friendly manner.
Similarly, there are a few die-hard fans of Fairy Tail in the audience. After learning that they are fighting on behalf of Fairy Tail, they also cheered and shouted.
It's just that because there are not many people, they didn't stand out.
After all 101 participating guilds had registered, the host took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued:
"Next, please invite our mascot Mr. Pumpkin to explain the rules of this competition to us."
As his voice fell, a short guy wearing a pumpkin decoration on his head jumped onto the conference venue and stood in front of the 101 participating teams.
His magic image was also magnified and projected into the air, so that all the audience in the entire venue could see it.
"This Grand Magic Martial Arts will last for four days, one match per day, for a total of four matches.
The first match is the preliminaries, and only teams that pass the preliminaries are eligible to participate in the official competition.
The official competition is divided into individual competition, team competition and free-for-all, and the ranking is based on points.
The team with the highest points ranking will receive the strongest guild trophy and a bonus of 30 million yuan issued by the kingdom!"
At this point, the Pumpkin Man paused for a moment before continuing:
"Today we are going to hold the preliminaries, and the rules of the preliminaries are very simple.
Soon we will release the magic monsters created by the Kingdom Magic Development Bureau. These monsters are very powerful, and even S-level wizards will have to work hard to solve them.
The preliminaries are for five people from each team to fight against a magic monster. Those who can defeat the monster can enter the official competition, otherwise they will be eliminated."
"Magic monster?"
The participating wizards and the audience in the audience all showed puzzled looks on their faces.
To make it easier for everyone to understand, Pumpkin Man waved his hand, and a magic photo appeared above the venue. In it, a mechanical magic gorilla more than ten meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
In the photo, the gorilla rushed at an extremely fast speed, smashing the house in front of it, and then jumped dozens of meters to the ground, punching a big crack in the ground.
Finally, the mechanical magic gorilla opened its mouth, the magic circle took shape, and terrifying flames gushed out.
"So strong!"
The gorilla's powerful destructive power in the photo immediately made the audience scream, and some of the participating wizards in the venue below also broke out in cold sweat.
This also includes the four people from Fairy Tail.
Because to be honest, even if the four of them join forces, they may not be able to deal with this gorilla.
Alzaka and Bisca use double guns and sniper rifles, which are fast and have a long range, but their destructive power is not strong. It is estimated that even if every shot hits, it is difficult to break the defense of the gorilla that is more than ten meters long and covered by machinery.
Not to mention Marcus who uses sand magic, it is really just a scrape.
Lucky's wood modeling magic is also not known for its destructive power.
If the four of them join forces to deal with some wizards from other guilds, they are actually not bad with cooperation.
But against the mechanical magic gorilla with super high defense, it is really powerless.
"Don't worry, it's just a show."
George stood on Lucky's shoulder and waved his cat paw indifferently.
In his opinion, the mechanical magic gorilla looked quite intimidating, but in fact it was just that.
Its overall strength was far from that of an S-class magician. Even those fake S-class magicians outside the Fairy Tail Guild would not have much trouble in fighting.
And for him, it was even less of a threat.
