Chapter 322 A Reliable Partner
As the thick smoke dissipated, following Gildarts's gaze, one could see that the ground, shattered like a block of tofu, was deserted, with a conspicuous vertical hole in the middle.
Did you cleverly avoid the damage at the moment you were hit by magic, by using the power of the Celestial Spirits?
Pretty quick reflexes, huh? No wonder that brat Chase dared to bet with me.
Just as Gildarts was thinking this, a golden light flashed in front of him, and the strong-looking Capricco, dressed in a suit, shot out at an extremely fast speed.
Realizing that she couldn't defeat Gildarts by simply using tricks, Lucy finally chose to confront him head-on, which was the only option!
boom!
Gildaz bent his arm and raised it, steadily blocking Caprico's powerful kick, which he launched using the momentum of his sprint.
"I remember you. You mentioned Kadoko, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, at the post-war conference on the Demon Heart, right?"
"I am now Lady Lucy's Celestial Spirit, and my name is Capricco!"
While diligently correcting the error, Capricco was also shocked by the terrifying power emanating from the arm of the person before him.
The sensation was like kicking a steel plate, impossible to shake.
However, he did not back down. He quickly changed his moves, using his hand as a blade to launch a horizontal slash from the side.
In terms of close combat ability alone, he is in a class of his own in the Zodiac and even the entire Celestial Spirit Realm!
Unfortunately, the Celestial Spirit's potential is limited by the summoner's magic power. Even with his skills at their peak, he couldn't inflict any damage on Gildarts and was instead completely suppressed. "Give up. Although your timing for throwing punches is quite precise, your strength is too weak."
"My orders were not to defeat you."
Kaprico smiled slightly, directly using his body to block Gildarts's fist, and then using all his strength to hold onto his arm tightly.
"Open! The Gate of Taurus, Talos!"
The next second, a ferocious aura erupted, and Talos, the humanoid cow, leaped high from behind Capricorn, rapidly spinning his incredibly heavy giant axe.
"Ooh ooh ooh! Taste this strike from the bottom of my heart, Lucy's examiner!!"
Talos gripped his heavy axe tightly and brought it down hard on Gildarts' shoulder.
Gildarts remained unfazed as the cold light reflected from the axe blade shone on his face. He unleashed a magical storm that blasted Capricco away, then raised his right hand to meet Talos's heavy axe head-on.
Whoosh!
The moment flesh and steel came into contact, the expected splatter of blood did not occur. Instead, the seemingly sturdy heavy axe was broken down into fine dust!
After kicking Talos away, Gildarts was about to press his advantage when he suddenly realized that Talos, along with Capricco from before, had turned into specks of light and vanished.
Are the Protoss's defenses really that weak?
The howling sandstorm interrupted Gildarts's confusion.
There, Lucy, dressed in her Scorpio Star Spirit Robe, stood amidst the swirling sandstorm, her high golden ponytail swaying violently, and the magic array in her raised palm already accumulating immense energy.
Not only the goat-man, but even that cow was used to distract me?
Dual-type attack?
Gildarts instantly analyzed Lucy's entire offensive plan, and a rare look of appreciation appeared on his face.
But that's all there is to it.
As a Celestial Spirit Mage, personally participating in battle against a powerful enemy is an extremely dangerous thing! "Sandstorm Laser Cannon!"
The laser beam, fully charged, shot out from Lucy's palm and hurtled straight toward Gildarts.
The gale whipped his tattered cloak into a fluttering sound as Gildarts slowly raised his hand and casually flicked out a blinding white light.
The seemingly soft white light pierced directly through the laser beam, dividing it from the inside into a dense, visible grid, erasing all energy.
But that wasn't all. The white light spread rapidly forward and hit Lucy, who had no time to react!
boom!
The faint light, like a fleeting firework, exploded in the wide underground space.
Lucy vanished without a trace!
"Gone? Gone?" Eclair stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her face pale.
"To go this far, even with the most rigorous assessment, killing someone is going too far!" Mengmeng shouted.
"Don't worry, that's not life-threatening magic," Gildarts said with a smile, pointing to the sky above.
One by one, Lucys, no bigger than a thumb, descended from the sky, densely packed, piling up into several small hills at Eclair and Mengmeng's feet in the blink of an eye.
"Aaaaaah! What on earth happened? Wow, so many wadashi!"
"Get up now, you're crushing me!"
"Wait a minute, does everyone have independent thinking? This feels strangely disgusting!"
Don't criticize yourself!
A barrage of sharp criticisms followed, and with Lucy's distinctively loud voice, Eclair and Mengmeng, who had been worried sick just moments before, felt like their heads were about to explode.
Even Gildarts silently covered his ears.
"Haha, the first thing I did when I saw myself like this was to make fun of myself?"
He smiled and shook his head, then his expression turned serious as he looked at Lucy and said in a deep voice, "So, Lucy, what do you plan to do?"
"Should we just give up now, or should I beat you all up before we give up?"
No one has ever been able to resist this attack.
"Of course—"
The little Lucys stopped complaining and simultaneously pulled out their Protoss keys, declaring, "We don't want either!"
Whoosh whoosh.
Countless mini magic circles were generated.
Gildarts was about to remind her that her magic was being broken down into countless parts, and that this would also affect the summoned celestials, when he discovered that the mini magic circle was simply spewing out harmless pink woolly mist.
Their vision was quickly obscured by the pink mist, while Gildarts stood motionless with his arms crossed.
He suddenly became curious about what Lucy wanted to do.
Ding Dong!
The voice of a celestial being suddenly rang out from the depths of the pink mist.
"Open! Sagittarius Gate, Celestial Robe received!"
A strong wind swept through, dispersing the thick fog and revealing the scene inside.
Gildarts's eyes narrowed, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
It wasn't because Lucy, dressed in a light green celestial robe and wielding a bow and arrow, posed any threat to him, but rather...
"My disintegration spell failed?"
Standing before me now is Lucy, completely restored to her original state!
Gildarts frowned.
Although it wasn't a particularly powerful attack, and it didn't even use one-tenth of my magic power.
Even so, in such a short time, Lucy, who did not understand the principles of decomposition magic, should not have been able to complete the deciphering at all!
"Star Shot!"
It wasn't until several streaks of light shot towards him that Gildarts snapped out of his daze and thought to himself, "This is bad!"
The massive explosion, a burst of light, completely engulfed him before he could dodge.
"Hehe, don't forget, Uncle Gildarts, I have some super reliable partners by my side!"
Lucy's lips curled up into a bright smile.
Beside her, Eclair was panting heavily, the tip of the white staff she held shimmering with a faint light.
That's right, what made Gildarts's disintegration magic fail was the silence magic she learned from the silence magician!
"A reliable partner? I see."
The storm dispersed the thick smoke, and Gildarts, standing on the shattered ground, was unharmed, only taking two steps back from his original position.
Although he wore a smile, the magical aura emanating from him underwent a qualitative change, making him resemble a demon from purgatory.
"Please allow me to sincerely apologize. I did underestimate you, so from now on—"
"I'll be a little more serious."
