Fairy Tail Team A.
Erza reached out and stopped the excited Natsu.
"I'll do it this time!" Saying this, she passed everyone and walked forward.
"Cheer up, Erza!" Lucy encouraged loudly.
"Cheer up!" Wendy also cheered.
"The opponent is Finn, don't lose to him!" Gray said.
"Hey, I should be the one going!" Natsu was still shouting.
But obviously no one paid attention to him.
In the direction of Mermaid Heel, Millianna turned to look at Kagura.
"Little Erza and little Finn are going to play, let me go, little Kagura!"
Kagura's gaze turned to the two in the arena, and she nodded slightly: "I allow it!"
At Sabertooth.
Orga stepped forward: "Let me go, I can't swallow the breath from yesterday, I must turn them all into scorched earth under the black thunder!"
"The opponent is that Finn, can you do it?" Minerva said softly.
"In my memory, that's a monster!" Rufus said.
Orga waved his hand and strode forward: "Who knows until we face each other!"
"In that case, then you go on, what I want to see more is the strength of Natsu Dragneel!"
Sting's gaze was fixed on the direction of Fairy Tail Team A.
"I don't care," Rogue responded coldly.
At this point, the contestants of all eight teams had arrived.
The Pumpkin, who was serving as the referee, saw that everyone had arrived.
He waved his hand gently, and a huge black magic circle unfolded in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, today's arena [Hades] slowly revealed its figure from the magic circle.
It was a huge castle.
The castle was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, as if the entire castle was upside down.
A long staircase extended from inside the castle, and at the end of the staircase was a huge city gate engraved with skulls.
A strong black aura spread out the moment the castle appeared.
Like a land of death.
"This is the temple where evil monsters gather - Hades!" The Pumpkin explained at the first time.
"A temple where evil monsters gather?" Jura asked.
The Pumpkin opened his hands and responded: "Basically, that's the setting, Pumpkin!"
"There are a hundred monsters lurking in this temple, although that's what I said, but those are just magic manifestations that we created, not real monsters, you can rest assured about that."
Then the Pumpkin began to explain the rules of the competition.
"In Hades, the monsters have five levels of combat power [D, C, B, A, S], of which there are 50 D-level monsters, 30 C-level monsters, 15 B-level monsters, 4 A-level monsters, and only 1 S-level monster."
And as the Pumpkin's demonstration,
Everyone understood that a D-level monster had the powerful attack power to destroy huge stone pillars with one blow.
"The higher the level, the combat power of the monsters will increase exponentially, and even the S-level monsters may not be able to be defeated even by the Ten Wizard Saints, Pumpkin!"
"Everyone decides the order of entering Hades according to the lottery, this is called the challenge right, the contestants say the number of monsters they want to challenge, and the temple will manifest the corresponding monsters."
"Suppose, the first person to challenge is three monsters, then three monsters will appear in the temple, and as long as the challenger can successfully defeat the three monsters, they will get three points."
"Immediately afterwards, the next contestant must choose the number of challenges from the remaining 97 monsters, until the final monster is zero, or everyone's magic power is zero to end,"
"Are the levels of these monsters that appear also random?" Finn asked.
The Pumpkin nodded: "That's right, if you are unlucky, you may face an S-level monster from the beginning!"
Finn nodded slightly.
The Pumpkin continued to speak: "How many monsters you defeat, you will get that many points, and once you enter the temple, you can't retreat out."
"Then what happens if we fall in Hades?" Hibiki asked.
"In that case, you can keep the points you got before, but this challenge will end with 0 points."
The Pumpkin explained.
On the Fairy Tail viewing platform, Makarov frowned tightly.
"That is to say, you can't be too greedy and set too high a challenge rate at one time."
"But if it's only one at a time, then you'll fall behind others," Happy said.
Carla put her hands on her hips and thought: "And you have to calculate the magic power recovery rate before the next round is up to you."
Romeo frowned: "It feels so difficult!"
In the arena.
"This is simply a game of luck," After listening to the Pumpkin's explanation, Orga complained.
"That's not the case!" Hibiki said confidently.
"With the theory of probability and my ancient books, I can calculate a reasonable strategy."
"No!" Finn interrupted Hibiki's words.
"This is a competition that depends on luck," Finn and Erza looked at each other.
They showed smiles to each other, obviously the two thought of the same thing.
"This is a competition where the outcome has already been decided just by drawing lots!"
"Ha?" Hearing Finn's words, Orga and Hibiki were stunned at the same time.
Ignoring the expressions of the few, Finn reached out and took out a lottery ticket from the lottery box held by the Pumpkin.
At the end of the lottery ticket, a small magic circle unfolded, and the value of [8] clearly appeared in front of Finn's eyes.
"Hiss…" The corner of Finn's mouth twitched.
"A bit unlucky…" His gaze turned to Erza next to him, and the number [1] appeared on the lottery ticket in her hand.
"Finn is right, the key to the victory or defeat of this competition all depends on how lucky you are with the lottery."
Erza slowly raised her head and said softly.
Her words startled the Pumpkin, who was holding the lottery tube, next to her.
"It all depends on luck??"
Then he shook his head and said with a smile: "That's hard to say, compared to the order of battle, the adjustment of steps and the judgment of the situation are the key to this game."
"No, this game is no longer valid!"
Erza started moving her steps and walked towards the door of Hades, her voice was loud and clear.
"These hundred monsters… are all my responsibility!!" Her words entered everyone's ears.
"My challenge right is… 100!!"
"!!!"
The entire arena instantly fell silent.
Countless people widened their eyes and looked at each other, as if they were all doubting whether they had just heard wrong.
After a moment of silence, a sound of surprise like a tsunami erupted on the scene.
"Did she just say… she's going to challenge a hundred monsters?"
"What's going on with this person?"
"Is this… a mage of Fairy Tail?!"
The rising and falling voices kept ring, but without exception, everyone was surprised by Erza's bold words.
"It's really too shocking, contestant Erza actually plans to fight the monsters of the entire Hades alone!!"
Chapati roared as much as he could, expressing his shock.
"Even Erza… it's a bit difficult to defeat 100 monsters, right."
Yajima looked at that figure worriedly.
"This should be an extremely exciting competition!" Lahar sat up straight.
In the arena, the Pumpkin seemed to have just recovered from the shock.
He hurriedly said: "Contestant Erza, you have to think clearly, there is no setting in the game that monsters are all destroyed by one person!"
"Moreover, as I said just now, the strongest monster may not be able to be defeated even by the Ten Wizard Saints!"
"I know very well what I'm doing!"
The Pumpkin's words did not stop Erza from moving her steps.
She still firmly moved her steps and stepped onto the staircase leading to Hades.
