；“The fairy tail guild's Leqi was eliminated by the mermaid's heel Shenle!”
"The fairy tail guild's Markus was eliminated by the blue pegasus in one night!"
"Lequki from Fairy Tail was eliminated by Paviks, the four-headed hound!"
The fairy tail guild's Biscaya was eliminated by the scales of the snake deity Jura!
The four-part announcement caused a commotion throughout the venue. The magic users of Fairy Tail's guild were eliminated by four people at the beginning of the match, and even the leader of the four champions from the previous match eliminated them!
Does each guild feel that Fairy Tail is too strong, and they want to eliminate the Fairy Tail guild first?
Similarly, George, who heard these four announcements, initially had the same thought, but quickly dismissed it.
Let's not talk about Mermaid's Heel, or the Blue Pegasus and the four-headed hound's president, who used to be from Fairy Tail. The Blue Pegasus is even better than that, as it has a very good relationship with Fairy Tail. In fact, its president even helped treat Fairy Tail's magic users before.
Considering the moral character of the guild's magic users, they wouldn't have done such a thing.
As for the scales of the snake goddess, they also have a good relationship with their guild. From what Jura and Leo can tell, both are people with strong self-respect and great integrity; they would never resort to such underhanded tactics.
Generally, only guilds like Thunderclaw that would do such things for victory would be involved, but this time, they're not even in the running.
“Could it be coincidence? Or something I'm not aware of happened?”
George shook his head, acknowledging that guessing without evidence was certainly not going to uncover the truth, though he didn't seem to mind.
Leqi and the other three were originally sent by him to make up the numbers. If they got eliminated, it would be easier for him. Otherwise, he was worried about using large-scale magic and accidentally hurting them before they all met up.
"Interesting, they've come to us, let's see what tricks they're up to."
As he was preparing to finish this battle in a single breath, he suddenly realized that the magic users from the other five championship guilds had entered his sensing range and were all rushing towards him in the same direction.
This sparked his interest even further.
Now it seems clear that this is a premeditated attack, but the specific reason is still unknown.
So he stopped looking for other magic users to boost his score and instead waited for the arrival of the magic users from the other five championship guilds.
Two minutes later, the 25 magic users from the five championship guilds appeared simultaneously in front of him.
"George, you're strong, but in this situation, how do you plan to deal with this?"
Minube fanning herself and twisting her waist, she challenged George.
George did not pay him any attention, but looked at the leaders of the other four guilds:
"I understand why the Sword Waist Tiger guild would do this, but why are you guys doing it? Think of your answer, because your response will depend on how severe your injuries are later."
"Our four guilds all had people missing this morning, and she threatened that if we don't join forces to eliminate you, then"
Jura's face showed remorse, and his words were left unfinished, but George already knew what he was getting at.
It's a clichéd tactic, but it's effective. From what he's heard, it's from kidnapping one person from each of the four guilds and using their lives as leverage to coerce Jura and the others to compromise—it's the most effective way to deal with good people.
"Are you not afraid that your qualification for the competition will be canceled after this?"
George looked at Minube's face, a hint of confusion appearing.
After the competition is over, Jura and the others will certainly report Minube's actions to the royal family. By then, even if Thunderclaw wins first place, what's it worth? They would still be disqualified and their reputation ruined.
However, Minube confidently shook her head:
"With no evidence, they can't do anything. And you don't need to know all that much."
"Is it because you have connections above you?"
George's eyes turned, and he immediately had an answer.
At the beginning of the match, Leqi and the other three were eliminated, even though Thunderclaw had threatened the other four guilds through kidnapping. How did they manage to locate their positions so quickly?
And they solved it so quickly, and then so quickly reassembled to find him.
Combining his actions last night, the only truth is that one!
It's the royal family that's involved.
It should be that the royal family sent someone to notify Thunderclaw in advance, telling them about today's competition content, and then secretly manipulated the locations of Leqi and the other three as well as the five guilds.
That's why Minube said that even if Jura and the others reported it, it would be no use, as the royal family would take their side. In the end, without evidence, it would have to be left unresolved.
And the reason for the royal family's actions is also quite simple.
It is to use the power of the five great guilds' magic users to defeat him and then take back the Eclipse Gate from him.
"Your calculations are wrong."
After George figured it out, his lips curved slightly upward.
The five magic user guilds, the top 25 magic users, with the weakest approaching S-class, and many are top S-class or even in the Saint Ten ranks, combined would be a force that even the four mightiest Ithergals could potentially bow down to.
However, there is still some distance to go before they can take him down.
He has nothing to fear from group assaults and prolonged battles, who can outlast him?
"All together, as long as you eliminate him, I'll release your guild members, and then we'll have a fair fight for the title of the strongest magic user guild!"
Hearing George's words, "There are people up above," Minube's face changed as she immediately waved her fan.
Jura and the others' faces were full of helplessness and guilt, but for the sake of their comrades' safety, they all lit up magic circles one by one.
Then come on, let me eliminate all of you at once, that'll be convenient!"
George saw the situation and flew up to the air, then the giant magic circle was activated.
"Giant Magic·Transformation!"
His body rapidly expanded and grew in size above the city, from several tens of centimeters to several tens of meters, and finally stabilized at an intimidating three kilometers in height.
Giant Magic is very effective, so he has never given up on studying it.
As his magic continued to refine and his magic power grew stronger, his achievements in Giant Magic far surpassed the old chairman Macarov.
In his cat form, the maximum size he can reach is three kilometers, which is even larger than when he transforms into a dragon.
As the basis for his cat form is weaker, the effect of Giant Magic is better, and as a dragon, his body is too strong, so the effect of Giant Magic is not as good as it can only be made to be ten thousand meters tall.
However, in terms of physical strength, the giant cat form that is three kilometers tall is still far less than the giant dragon form that is ten thousand meters tall.
In this world, transforming into a dragon would cause quite a stir, which isn't necessary.
"How big!"
Seeing George use Giant Magic to make his body grow to an terrifying extent that blocked out the sky and sunlight, the magicians from Fairy Tail and the spectators in the stands all had their eyes glued on him, completely stunned.
That's truly a massive cat, one that can't be contained in an entire city.
