"Since that's the case, I can't give up either! I'll show you my true abilities!" Sherria felt the surging fighting spirit within her. She also took a deep breath, mobilizing all her magic.
Both sides completed their preparations almost simultaneously.
Wendy took a deep breath, her hands moving rapidly as she chanted, "Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!" Immediately, numerous pink wind blades appeared behind her.
A decisive glint flashed in Sherria's eyes: "God Slayer's North Wind!" A powerful black tornado immediately formed around her.
They attacked each other at the same time.
The pink Wing Attack and the black tornado collided violently in the air. The air between them seemed to ignite, quickly churned by the two powerful forces.
Instantly, fierce winds howled.
However, it was clear that Wendy, who had undergone professional training, was stronger. The pink wind blades, like sharp knives, continuously tore through the black tornado. Sherria felt a heavy pressure bearing down on her. She gritted her teeth, resisting Wendy's attack with all her might.
However, despite putting in all her effort, she ultimately couldn't withstand Wendy's immense power. The pink wind blades, like a sharp sword, easily broke through the black tornado and surged towards Sherria.
Sherria's eyes narrowed, and she stomped her foot, using the wind field in the arena to directly somersault through the sky.
She skillfully dodged Wendy's attacks, her movements agile and nimble.
From this, it could be seen that Sherria's talent was indeed terrifying; her mastery of God Slayer Magic had reached a state of perfection.
"Black wind?" Erza, in the audience stands, was also stunned, trying hard to recall something. She frowned, her eyes slightly narrowed, attempting to dig up clues related to this black wind from the depths of her memory. However, despite her efforts, the vague impression remained unclear.
"Hmm... this magic feels... quite familiar..." Natsu felt the magic fluctuations in the arena, and three question marks appeared directly above his head.
Scratching his head, his eyebrows furrowed, he tried hard to figure out where this familiar magical aura came from.
"Ahhh~ What is it... I should know!" Finally, Natsu became agitated and started bouncing around. His body leaped in the air, like an ant on a hot pan, eager to find the answer.
"Hehe, it's Sky God Slayer Magic, Natsu!" Future Lucy, wearing a veil, stood nearby, amused by Natsu's antics.
Her laughter was clear and cheerful, as melodious as a silver bell.
Future Lucy's gaze, through her veil, fell on Natsu, a hint of tenderness flickering in her eyes.
"God Slayer?" Natsu stopped his bouncing steps after hearing this word. His eyes became serious, as if recalling some past events.
"Oh, right, on Tenrou Island, I think I also defeated a Fire God Slayer Magic user~" Natsu muttered to himself. His thoughts gradually returned to that time, recalling the fierce battle.
He still remembered that Fire God Slayer Mage and their duel.
"It's just that person's fire really didn't taste good~ Pfft~" Natsu said, and as he recalled it, he stuck out his tongue and made a disgusted "pfft" sound.
His expression was full of disgust, showing how terrible Zancrow's fire tasted.
...
"Are you okay? I think I might have used a bit too much force~" Wendy looked at Sherria, who had landed safely, and said with an embarrassed smile.
"I'm fine! It's my turn now~" Sherria waved her hands in front of her, smiling as she replied.
However, just as her words fell, Sherria suddenly moved, casting magic simultaneously. Wind rose beneath her feet, and black wind gathered in her hands. In the next moment, in the blink of an eye, she had already reached Wendy's side.
"Wind, sweep across the land, let it feel the dance of the wind!—God Slayer's Dance!" Sherria shouted loudly.
A powerful tornado directly carried Wendy into the sky.
"It's not over yet~" Sherria smiled, having succeeded, and stomped her foot, using the wind to rush straight into the sky.
"This time I win!" Sherria's fist, wreathed in a black whirlwind, shot straight towards Wendy.
However, just as her fist was about to hit Wendy, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if it had encountered an invisible wall.
Wendy's lips curved slightly, revealing a triumphant smile: "Your speed is indeed fast, but my defense isn't to be underestimated!"
Sherria's expression instantly turned to astonishment; she found that her attack had been easily blocked.
"Watch out!" Wendy warned.
Just as Wendy finished her warning, Sherria felt a powerful recoil force transmit from the air wall, bouncing her whole body back.
Sherria lost her balance in the air, her body involuntarily flying backward.
Wendy controlled her body in mid-air. She turned to look at the bounced-off Sherria, a hint of cunning amusement in her eyes: "Next, it's my turn!" She took a deep breath, then lowered her voice and whispered, "Sky Dragon's..."
"That's..." Sherria immediately understood Wendy's intention upon hearing those words. She opened her mouth in surprise but quickly closed it, an excited expression on her face. Then, like Wendy, she took a deep breath, simultaneously muttering, "God Slayer's..."
"Roar!" "Rage!"
At the very same moment, two powerful forces roared out from the mouths of the two girls. One was a pink tornado, and the other was a black tornado. These two tornadoes represented two of the most powerful attacks in Lost Magic. When they met in the air, it was as if yin and yang attracted each other, and a white sphere of light immediately formed in the center of the arena.
With the appearance of the white sphere, a huge hurricane erupted in the center of the arena.
This hurricane, like a fierce beast, swept in all directions with endless power and destructiveness, and the audience gasped in excitement.
In the strong wind, the people sitting at the commentary table were also blown off balance.
"Whoa!" "Not good!" "Hold on!" they shouted in panic.
Among them, Yajima's hat and Jabu Dirola's wig were blown away by the wind, floating in the air.
And the skirts of girls like Mavis, Levy, Ultear, and Meredy were blown up, making them blush and quickly cover their skirts with their hands.
The Third Master tightly held onto Laxus's clothes to avoid being swept away by the strong wind.
When the dazzling white light in the arena disappeared, the entire venue seemed to have been stripped bare, leaving only barren land and some craters left by the wind blade attacks.
Sherria sat on the ground, her lips slightly pouted, a look of unwillingness and annoyance on her face, yet also somewhat cute.
She gently stroked her cheek, seemingly dissatisfied with her performance just now, but there was nothing she could do. She had not yet mastered the ultimate secret of God Slayer Magic, which was a pity.
If she had mastered it, she could have turned defeat into victory, and these injuries could have been healed in an instant.
However, when she saw Wendy healing her, a blush suddenly appeared on her face.
"Sister Wendy is so cute!"
"Thump~" Wendy, hearing Sherria's compliment, couldn't help but smile shyly, her green magic continuing to slowly flow into Sherria's body.
She carefully checked Sherria's body, ensuring no part needing treatment was missed.
"Alright, how do you feel now? Is there anywhere else you're uncomfortable?" Wendy asked with concern.
Sherria blinked, felt her body's condition, then showed an excited expression and said firmly: "Mm, I'm fine now! This was just an accident, I'll definitely defeat you next time!" Her eyes sparkled with an unyielding light, as if challenging her opponent.
Hearing this, Wendy also smiled, her eyes full of relief and anticipation, "Good, I'll be waiting for you, you can definitely do it!" She believed Sherria had infinite potential, and with effort, she would surely surpass herself.
Then, Wendy proactively took Sherria's hand and softly said: "Let's be friends!" Her tone was full of sincerity and friendliness, making Sherria feel warm.
Sherria was stunned for a moment, then a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and she nodded heavily.
"Mhm mhm~" She was very happy with this suggestion, because she knew that having such a powerful and kind friend would be an incredibly blessed thing.
Meanwhile, the audience also cheered, applauding the wonderful duel and the friendship between the two contestants. The entire arena was filled with joy and emotion.
Jabba Droll was also so excited he couldn't help himself. He stood up directly and announced loudly: "What a beautiful ending! Today's competition is officially over, the winner—Wendy of Fairy Tail Team B!!!"
Jabu Dirola's voice echoed throughout the arena, eliciting a burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Alright, let's head back to the guild too! The competition's over!" Zorn looked at the two girls holding hands, smiling contentedly, and lowered his head to the cats, saying, "Let's go, little ones."
"Hey, hey, just tell me secretly! What are you hiding from me tomorrow?" Zorn looked curiously at the cats.
"Meow..." The cats exchanged glances, then replied in unison: "We can't tell you! This is a secret between us and Tami."
"Oh, come on, just tell me!" Zorn scratched his head helplessly, then began to entice them: "I'll give you lots of dried fish, and even rare catnip sticks! Exclusive supply!"
Upon hearing this, the cats' eyes lit up, but they still feigned composure, saying, "Hmm... let us think about it."
They had tasted it before, and the deliciousness was simply indescribable. However, Zorn only gave them one every day, and even Simi didn't know where Zorn hid his catnip sticks.
"No, unless you give each of us ten catnip sticks every day!" Tami suddenly spoke, a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Five sticks~" Zorn tried to haggle.
"Eight sticks~" Tami was unyielding.
"Deal!" Zorn readily agreed.
"Ah, darn it, you tricked me again, Zorn! Not a single one less than ten sticks!" Tami immediately jumped up and down, because she saw Zorn's sly smile.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, I know!" Zorn laughed triumphantly, then left the arena with the cats.
Tami was really fun.
