[This... this... it appeared!!]
[Contestant Kael has issued a victory... no! An invincible declaration!!!]
"This bastard!"
Orga felt even more displeased seeing Kael's arrogant appearance; he really wished he could rush up and pick a fight with Kael.
"Don't be impulsive! Our goal is victory," Rufus advised.
"Victory? This pathetic victory... right now this looks just like a game of tag!"
Kael was the "it," and the rest of them were the people hiding everywhere.
Swish——!
Kael's figure vanished.
"Eh, he's gone. I don't know which unlucky bastard got caught, but let's move fast!"
Everyone noticed Kael had disappeared from the sky and immediately began to act. Who knew if Kael would appear in the sky again? They had to take this chance to get more points.
On the screen, Kael instantly appeared in front of Bacchus.
[It's Bacchus! Kael and Bacchus are facing off!]
"Kael!!"
Bacchus was startled.
"Yo! Bacchus, what a coincidence."
Kael greeted Bacchus with a smile.
Bacchus's expression turned ugly as he thought: Coincidence my ass! This isn't a coincidence at all; this is clearly your deliberate revenge.
"Kael, don't look down on me! I am also an S-Class mage!!"
Bacchus grit his teeth and spoke to Kael.
"I'm not looking down on you! Didn't we just happen to bump into each other? Then let's decide a winner!"
Kael wore an innocent expression.
"Bastard! Take this!!"
"Drunken Chop: Hanging Palm!"
Bacchus couldn't take it anymore; this was the first time he had been so belittled.
Bacchus charged at Kael, launching an all-out attack.
The speed of his palm strikes became invisible; it was unknown how many consecutive hits landed on Kael.
[Bacchus has attacked! Such a fast attack!!]
"Haaa~"
Kael raised a hand and let out a yawn.
Looking at Bacchus, he asked, "Are you finished?"
Bacchus's face changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, looking at the completely unharmed Kael in disbelief.
"How is that possible?! So many of my attacks hit your body, how can you be fine?!"
He had just used his full power. Even a block of iron should have been smashed to pieces.
"You didn't hit me."
"Impossible! My attacks clearly hit you! How could I have missed?!"
"What you hit was just the infinity of the distance between us. The closer you get, the slower you become. Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain it to you."
Kael raised his palm.
A small ball of red energy condensed in the center of his palm.
"Not good!"
Bacchus immediately tried to dodge, but it was already too late.
Boom boom boom boom!
The small red sphere hit Bacchus, destroying many buildings along with him. Bacchus's eyes rolled back as he fell unconscious.
[Bacchus is knocked down! Fairy Tail gains 5 points!]
During this time, the others had also run into each other.
[Wait... Sabertooth is gaining points at an incredible speed!]
Several members of Sabertooth moved quickly, eliminating the other four members of Quatro Cerberus and then dealing with several members of Mermaid Heel.
"Hmph! This is a point-grabbing game. You don't necessarily have to defeat your opponent to win."
Minerva let go of Ichiya.
"Meee—!"
[Blue Pegasus captain Ichiya has lost his ability to fight! Sabertooth gains 5 points!]
[Too fast! Sabertooth's actions are too decisive!]
[In the blink of an eye, they've gained 13 points! Now their score has reached 48! They are in second place! Will Sabertooth rush into first like this?]
[Wait! He appeared! Kael appeared in front of Minerva! Minerva is in big trouble!!]
Swish!
Kael teleported in front of Minerva. Minerva's face changed when she saw him.
"Kael..."
"Minerva, you mentioned following the rules, so I have followed the rules."
"Explosion Space!"
Minerva raised her hand and released space bubbles with explosive properties.
Kael stood there with his hands in his pockets, making no attempt to dodge.
Boom——!!
An explosion erupted on Kael's body, but very quickly, he walked out completely unharmed. Not even the corner of his clothes was damaged.
Meanwhile, Minerva had already appeared in the distance.
"Kael! Although I wish to decide a winner with you, now is not the time."
"Want to run? Can you escape?"
Kael took a single step, and in the next instant, he appeared right in front of Minerva.
Minerva's expression shifted.
Kael raised his leg and swept it toward Minerva.
Crack——!
A rock appeared where Minerva had been, which Kael shattered with his kick. Minerva's figure appeared in the distance.
"Oh? This is somewhat interesting."
Kael remembered Yukino mentioning Minerva's space magic; it seemed she could freely swap any person or object within her territory.
This ability was similar to Uchiha Sasuke's Amenotejikara from the Six Tomoe Rinnegan. Such magic was undoubtedly very powerful.
"But space? I am also the ruler of space."
Whoosh——!
In the next instant, Kael appeared above Minerva once again.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
Kael raised his palm, and a red sphere of Red struck the earth.
Boom—————!!
A terrifying explosion occurred. A giant crater was blasted into the ground, and the powerful shockwave shattered several surrounding buildings.
Minerva used Absolute Territory, shifting her position once more.
Kael immediately followed. He raised his palm and launched another Cursed Technique Reversal.
Boom—————!!
Half of a massive building was blasted to pieces by Kael.
[Contestant Kael is pursuing contestant Minerva. Contestant Minerva is currently fleeing in a sorry state.]
"This bastard!"
Minerva's face was extremely ugly. She hadn't expected this guy, Kael, to be so persistent. She possessed Absolute Territory and could freely swap her position with objects, so logically, almost no one should be able to catch her.
Yet, the opponent could teleport at will. He was a guy who defied logic. Not only that, but this bastard's attacks were also terrifyingly powerful; every strike had massive power and incredible speed.
Fortunately, she had already prepared for this.
Swish———!
Minerva shifted again, appearing near another person.
"Minerva?!"
Jura couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at the appearing Minerva. Originally, he didn't feel much toward Sabertooth, but Minerva's actions toward Lucy the day before yesterday had made him somewhat displeased.
Minerva smiled at Jura and said, "Jura, let me make use of you for a bit."
"What?"
Before Jura could react, Kael's figure appeared in mid-air.
Kael raised his palm and aimed at Minerva. A red Red sphere formed instantly.
It was launched toward Minerva.
Swish————!
Just as the Red sphere was about to hit Minerva, she used Absolute Territory to swap her position with Jura's.
"Not good!"
Boom————!!

I also want to apologize for the lack of updates this month, haha. My PC completely died, and uploading chapters from my phone was pretty complicated.
