Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel-Chapter 346: SFDI - 346

Chapter 346: SFDI: Chapter 346
After saying hello to the few people they knew, Drake and his group returned to their rooms.
Even the most insensitive people could sense the malice in the lobby, and that malice was all directed at Fairy Tail.
Drake knew very well what those small guilds were thinking.
They were just looking at the fact that Fairy Tail’s main force had disappeared, thinking that Fairy Tail had become a toothless tiger, wanting to become famous by stepping on Fairy Tail!
The ambition of these guys, who only thought about taking advantage of others’ misfortunes, was only limited to this. They didn’t even have the qualifications to be put in Drake’s eyes.
This time, the kingdom didn’t do any yin operation like holding the preliminaries in the middle of the night like they did seven years later, allowing everyone to rest well for one night.
Early the next morning, Drake was eating breakfast with the others when he suddenly sensed a violent magic power fluctuation.
Pushing open the window, he saw blocks of buildings flying into the sky, assembling there to form an aerial arena.
Through amplification magic, everyone heard that strangely toned voice.
"Ahem! All the contestants of the Grand Magic Games, the preliminaries of the first Grand Magic Games are about to begin. Please get ready, contestants.
The method of the preliminaries is...!"
Dragging out the sound, selling every last bit of suspense, that voice said, "A battle for possession.
After all the contestants enter the competition venue, they will jointly compete for the eight magic crystals that are placed in the venue.
After the magic crystals are placed on the designated platform, they will charge the platform.
After the charging is completed, the platform will carry the team standing on it into the venue for the formal competition.
That’s all for the introduction of the competition rules. The preliminaries will officially begin after all the contestants are in place. Good luck to everyone!"
Drake stroked his chin. Besides the battles, the competition events of the Grand Magic Games were different every year, so Drake didn’t know what the specific events were.
But the event for this preliminary round was easy to understand.
If you wanted to pass the preliminaries, you had to grab the magic crystals and defend your territory during the time the platform was charging.
Of course, a simpler method was to snatch the platform that others had occupied midway. So for the defending side, the most important thing was how to hold out until the end.
Drake stepped onto the stairs that extended to him, saying with excitement, "Alright, let’s go and take the first place that belongs to us!"
"Oh!!" The others responded, following Drake on the journey of the Grand Magic Games.
Stepping onto the venue for the preliminaries, Drake saw the mages who were entering one after another.
As soon as everyone entered the venue, they immediately put on a defensive formation, being wary of everyone around them.
But guilds like Lamia Scale showed a relaxed attitude like Drake and the others, mainly showing confidence.
Before long, everyone had entered, and with a bang, all the entrances were completely closed.
"Now, the preliminaries officially begin."
As soon as the voice in the amplification magic fell, eight points of light appeared in the sky above the arena, which were the magic crystals to be contested this time.
The entire venue was silent for a second, then who knew who shouted, "Grab it!"
Then a dark mass of people rushed towards the falling magic crystals together.
Sting exercised his wrists, saying to Drake, who hadn’t moved, "Drake, aren’t we going to grab one first?"
Drake didn’t answer, instead saying, "I was just thinking, if we eliminated everyone else here, could we directly take the championship?"
The others’ eyes lit up. Stella said, "As expected of Drake, to be able to think of such a good method!"
Drake smiled, saying, "But after thinking about it carefully, let’s forget it. This is the first Grand Magic Games held by the kingdom after all. It wouldn’t be good to not give them face like this.
Moreover, it’s a waste to go back so quickly after coming all this way. Let’s just treat it as a special activity. Everyone, enjoy the fun of the competition!"
Saying this, Drake raised his hand, throwing a punch, flames gushing out, swallowing all the magic that had been shot over here, then blasting away the mages who had wanted to sneak attack.
Sting immediately got angry, saying loudly, "Those damned small fries, they should be thanking the gods for protecting them since we haven’t made a move yet. How dare they attack us!"
Drake looked up at the magic crystals in the sky. With the guilds holding each other back, no guild had succeeded in getting one yet.
So Drake said, "Then let’s play with them!"
Without Drake even needing to say it, the others had already couldn’t hold back.
Sting and Rogue rushed out to the left and right, black and white magic power coiling around the two.
"White Dragon’s Straight Punch!"
"Shadow Dragon’s Slash!"
Although they hadn’t grown to their peak seven years later, relying on the powerful power of the third generation Dragon Slayers, the two directly blasted away a group of mages.
Kagura put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist. You couldn’t even see that she had drawn the longsword, only seeing that all the mages who had rushed towards her had been blasted away.
The magic that Kagura possessed was gravity magic, but she preferred to fight with taijutsu, being a swordsman master who could fight Erza with swords.
A girl inexplicably overlapping with the blind admiral next door, Drake had also taught her some ideas for developing tactics as a result.
Under Drake’s guidance, her swordsmanship had not only advanced by leaps and bounds, but she had also learned to combine magic and swordsmanship.
That move just now was the combination of Iaijutsu and gravity magic, its name being "Gravity Blade - Stance."
Coupled with the magic sword Garuda, which had the effect of amplifying magic and had been forged by Drake in her hand, Kagura’s combat power was definitely in the first tier of the Grand Magic Games.
Those mages had all been crushed by the powerful gravity that had been released when Kagura had drawn her sword at lightning speed, and not many people in the venue had seen this slash clearly.
Jura on the side couldn’t help but reveal a serious expression. Just as Drake had expected, the reason why he had participated in the Grand Magic Games this time was to see the level of Fairy Tail now.
He had originally thought that Fairy Tail would decline after the Tenrou Island incident, but he hadn’t expected these new members to show a strength that even he, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, couldn’t help but pay attention to.
Sensing his gaze, Drake turned his head to look at Jura, saying, "Mr. Jura, aren’t you going to take a magic crystal?"
Jura said with a smile, "My companions have already begun to act."
Stella flapped her dragon wings, passing through all kinds of magic, approaching a magic crystal.
Just then, a burst of white fog spread throughout the venue, making many mages couldn’t help but shiver.
A huge ice serpent appeared out of thin air, which Lyon had created using ice make magic.
Lyon was standing on the head of the ice serpent, the serpent swinging its tail, sweeping away a group of mages around it, and that big mouth directly biting towards Stella.
Stella frowned. She seemed to have seen this person yesterday. He should be an acquaintance of Drake’s.
Although she didn’t know why he was making a move now, it didn’t prevent her from counterattacking.
"Dragon Queen’s Jaws!"
Stella raised her hand, releasing nine fire dragons, directly tearing at the ice serpent, while the other hand directly grabbed the magic crystal.
Lyon revealed a surprised expression. Before the fire dragons had even approached his ice serpent, there were signs that it was about to melt.
Subconsciously, Lyon created an ice eagle, stepping on it, flying far away.
Turning his head, he saw that the ice serpent that he had created with all his strength had been directly bitten by the fire dragons and had been completely melted in a few seconds.
"What is this girl... what kind of monster is she!"
Stella didn’t chase, but turned around, returning to Drake’s side.
Drake looked at Jura, who had no intention of making a move, taking everyone to a corner of the arena, placing the magic crystal on a round platform.
A magic circle rose beneath their feet, the lines beginning to light up one by one. Judging by this speed, it would take ten minutes to fill completely.
Drake looked at the guilds around him who hadn’t gone to compete for the remaining magic crystals.
It seemed that they wanted to snatch the platform after his side had almost finished filling it with magic power. They wanted to use this method to minimize the pressure of defense.
Drake said coldly, "How annoying!"
So Drake lowered his body, a crimson magic circle appearing before him.
Sting and Rogue also revealed excited expressions, making the same pose on Drake’s sides, white and black magic circles appearing side by side next to the red magic circle.
"Fire Dragon’s...!"
"White Dragon’s...!"
"Shadow Dragon’s...!"
"Roar!" x3
Three torrents of white, red, and black flew out, half of the venue being directly cleared. The covetous gazes that had been on this side instantly all disappeared.
