Chapter 40: 24-Hour Endurance Race? More Like Fairy Tail’s All-Out Brawl Tournament!

"Those two idiots."

After seeing her two junior disciples knock each other out while competing for an advantage, Ultear helplessly covered her face with her hand. It was too embarrassing.

It seemed that now only she could defend her mother's honor...

Thinking this, Ultear's gaze sharpened slightly. She also assumed the pose for Molding Magic: "Ice Make: Rose Garden!"

In an instant, beautiful ice roses bloomed in this hot summer...

The refreshing atmosphere made countless spectators and contestants around reveal comfortable expressions: "Ah! So refreshing!"

"Boom!!"

Unfortunately, Natsu, who was targeted by these ice roses, wasn't so lucky...

Natsu was directly blown away by Ultear's ice roses.

"Next..."

Ultear was about to move forward as she spoke.

"Bzzt bzzt bzzt!"

But before Ultear could move...

A piercing thunder suddenly sounded beside her ear. Countless electric lights passed through Ultear's entire body. The numbing sensation made Ultear's body tremble slightly, instantly falling to the ground.

"Excuse me."

After casually using lightning to paralyze Ultear on the spot, Laxus finally put his hands in his pockets and walked past Ultear's side.

"You bastard."

"I'll remember you..."

Ultear glared fiercely at Laxus's back, gritting her teeth.

"Many people remember me, you're not special."

Laxus was full of confidence. He had never taken Ultear, Mirajane, Erza, and others seriously. He always considered his opponents to be Gildarts and Ian...

Oh, now there was also one more - Ur.

"Urgh..."

Unfortunately, before Laxus could finish showing off, waves of dizziness immediately invaded his senses. He directly fell to his knees and lay down, starting to dry heave.

"Laxus, you were careless."

Erza coldly smiled after taking down Laxus using 'Anti-Dragon Slayer' magic.

"Take Over..."

"Deliora's right arm."

In a place Erza didn't notice, Mirajane quietly used Take Over magic...

Hmm, Ian had already given both Deliora's soul and the soul of the Black Monk to Mirajane. With these two demon souls, Mirajane's combat power could be said to have directly increased by a level.

However, with Mirajane's current magical power, she still couldn't fully take over and control Deliora's soul. She could only use partial Take Over magic to borrow part of Deliora's power for battle.

But even so, its power couldn't be underestimated...

"Bang!"

After taking over Deliora's arm, Mirajane...

Looking at Erza in front of her, she revealed a malicious expression.

Then, she suddenly used force, punching Erza's buttocks and sending her flying.

"Puff..."

Erza was caught off guard and tumbled forward several times.

"Oh my~"

"Erza, I'm so sorry~"

"I really didn't mean to attack you~"

"I just haven't fully mastered Deliora's power yet~"

"You know..."

"Taming an evil demon soul like Deliora is still very troublesome."

Mirajane looked at Erza who had fallen to the ground, covering her mouth and giggling.

"Whoosh!"

Before Mirajane's words could fall...

A flying sword flashing with a bright silver cold light shot towards her from afar with lightning speed, cutting off her ponytail in one stroke.

"Erza!!!"

"Look what you've done?!"

Mirajane looked at her cut-off hair, her entire face turning red with anger.

"Sorry, you know..."

"That sword just now was the famous magic sword Durandal."

"I haven't fully mastered it yet, and accidentally let it slip."

Erza stood up from the ground, lightly patting the dust off her body, speaking coldly word by word.

"Who are you trying to fool?"

"You just simply want to fight, right?"

Mirajane tightly gripped her broken hair in her hand, shouting angrily at Erza.

"So you know I was making it up?"

"I haven't even avenged that punch that sent me flying earlier!"

Hearing this, Erza shouted back loudly.

"You..."

For a moment, Mirajane and Erza confronted each other like this.

"Phew! Good chance."

At this time, Ultear recovered from the paralysis. She quickly ran forward, intending to take advantage and advance.

"How could I possibly let you pass."

Laxus covered his mouth, strongly resisting the feeling of dizziness, and once again released magic towards Ultear.

"Rumble..."

Terrifying thunder tore through the entire sky.

"The same trick won't work on me twice."

Ultear said, releasing Ice-Make to block Laxus's attack.

"Returning it to you..."

But that wasn't all...

The rose garden released by Ultear continued to spread forward, trapping Laxus in place.

"This way, no one will disturb me."

Ultear said, turning around by herself.

"Boom!!"

However, just as Ultear turned around...

Laxus, who was trapped in place by the ice roses, suddenly burst out with a powerful magical power, shattering all the ice on his body.

"Recovered."

Laxus said, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Hmm, because of Mirajane, Erza was distracted, accidentally dispelling the 'dizziness' magic she had previously cast around Laxus.

"Damn it!"

Ultear cursed under her breath. She didn't continue to advance, but turned around to fully face the threat brought by Laxus.

"Who just released that Ice-Make magic?"

In the distance, Natsu, who could have taken the opportunity to advance, now angrily walked back. Flames were wrapped around his body as he roared furiously.

"Lisanna, and Elfman, come quickly to help me deal with this crazy woman."

Mirajane, unable to match Erza, immediately called for help from her brother and sister.

"Big sister, we're no match for Erza-nee!"

"Erza-nee is too powerful..."

"Ahh!!!"

Then, Elfman and Lisanna, who had taken over Beast Soul and Animal Soul respectively, were sent flying by Erza.

"Take my punch, Fire Dragon's Iron Fist."

Natsu started attacking indiscriminately, punching anyone he saw.

"Ice-Make: Rose Garden!"

Ultear crossed her hands, using the secret technique her mother had taught her.

"Lightning Dragon's Halberd!!"

Facing the powerful Ultear, Laxus clearly knew she was a strong enemy. Therefore, without any arrogance, he directly used Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic.

"Gray, today is the day to let you know who is Ur's best disciple."

Lyon looked at Gray and said arrogantly.

"You're right, Lyon. Ur's best disciple is me!"

Gray pointed at himself with his thumb, confidently saying.

"Ice-Make..."

So, the two almost simultaneously made the pose for Ice-Make magic.

"...Ice Dragon!"

"...Holy Sword!"

The next second, the ice dragon and holy sword collided, erupting with infinite cold air.

"Let's guess..."

At this time, those tourists who had heard the news all gathered around.

The tourists looked at the scene of chaos in front of them, with numerous magic spells flying around, magic circles of various colors flashing, and Makarov seemingly completely petrified as if he had directly gazed upon Medusa's eyes from mythology. They asked: "You must be holding a fighting tournament, right?!"

"It's a 24-hour endurance race!"

To this, Makarov weakly said.

"Eh?!"

Hearing this, the tourists all revealed shocked expressions. How was this related to a 24-hour endurance race?! Or was there something different about Fairy Tail guild's endurance race compared to the one they had in mind?
