"It's just that, Lucy has already let the two celestial spirits she summoned just now return."
Jabba explained the specific situation on the scene.
"I think, it's probably to avoid consuming too much magic power and physical strength," Yajima said.
"I see," Jabba nodded.
Then he looked at the arena: "Alright, then let's see, who will be the winner?"
Inside the water arena, Juvia looked at Minerva, who was standing high up, and frowned slightly.
Juvia's attack just now wasn't aimed solely at the few people who were closer to her.
Even Lucy and Minerva were within her attack range.
Lucy was able to stay in the arena by relying on the power of Virgo and Aries , who were temporarily summoned.
But the feeling that the person named Minerva gave Juvia was very strange.
It was as if her attacks hadn't hit her at all.
This situation had appeared when Lucy attacked just now, but Juvia was held back by Aquarius just now, so she didn't pay attention.
"Your magic is space magic, right!" Juvia said.
Combining everything, Juvia came to this conclusion.
Minerva smiled slightly and nodded: "That's right!"
Looking down at the two people below, Minerva slowly raised her hands.
"Although this little girl can move all of you out of the arena in an instant, it would be too boring to do so."
"This guy..." Lucy, who was wearing the Aquarius Star Dress, muttered.
She couldn't figure out what this woman was thinking.
Minerva continued: "After all, you fairies have climbed on top of the tiger's head, which makes this little girl very uncomfortable, so... endure it, Fairy Tail!"
Buzz...
White light began to flashing on Minerva's raised hands.
Immediately following, two bubbles that emitted strange light appeared in front of Lucy and Juvia at the same time.
Boom!!
The bubbles shattered with a bang, and invisible power began to spread throughout the water arena.
An indescribable pressure acted on Juvia and Lucy.
Not only that, but a scorching feeling also began to spread around the two.
"Heat... in the water?" On the Fairy Tail cheering platform, Makarov exclaimed in surprise.
Yukino on the side clenched her hands tightly, and a worried expression appeared on her face.
"The young lady's magic can use space to give high heat to the environment around the target, in order to burn the opponent."
"Lucy and Juvia are probably... in trouble!"
"That guy, to be able to use space to such an extent, she really can't be underestimated!" Makarov said in a deep voice.
And at this time in the water ball, Lucy didn't sit still and wait for death.
She fiercely raised her arm: "Water Stream Historia!"
A huge water tornado attacked Minerva, but Minerva waved her arms, and distorted fluctuations appeared on the palms of both hands.
Deflecting the tornado.
Seeing this scene, Lucy understood that she had to use a celestial spirit.
Her right hand moved down, wanting to draw out the key from her waist.
"Don't move!" A voice came, and immediately following, several distorted fluctuations appeared around Lucy.
Boom boom boom——!!
The fluctuations that appeared in front of Lucy fiercely erupted, and successive shock waves constantly erupted, like bombs, exploding in front of Lucy.
"Water Stream Barrier!" In an instant, a stream of water formed a shield in front of Lucy.
Resisting Minerva's indiscriminate bombing.
But the huge impact force also pushed Lucy to the edge of the water arena.
But fortunately, relying on the protection of the Star Dress, Lucy successfully resisted.
"Celestial spirit?" Minerva's lips curled slightly.
Her palm stretched forward again, aiming at Lucy, and immediately following, space fluctuations appeared in her hand again.
Buzz... "What!" The sudden change made Lucy widen her eyes.
The Star Dress that was attached to her body had disappeared, and she had changed back to her original outfit.
Sensing that something was wrong, Lucy hurriedly looked at her waist.
"My keys..." She fiercely raised her head, and found that her keys were being held in Minerva's hand.
In the distance, Finn, who was watching this scene, shook his head helplessly.
"The magic was countered..." A slightly regretful voice rang out in Finn's mouth.
In Finn's opinion, this had nothing to do with whether she was strong or not.
As a holder-type mage, once the magic item being held was taken away, then even if the person had the most powerful magic power, they wouldn't be able to exert it.
Just like now, Minerva could effortlessly take away Lucy's keys.
Lucy had no way to deal with such a situation.
After all, celestial spirit keys and Finn's Ryūjin Jakka had essential differences.
Celestial spirit keys were always external objects, while Ryūjin Jakka had completely fused with Finn's soul.
That is to say, Ryūjin Jakka was Finn's soul.
Even if Ryūjin Jakka was taken away by the enemy, Finn could instantly manipulate Ryūjin Jakka to return to his hand, or...
Directly release Ryūjin Jakka around the enemy.
Hearing Finn's words, the few people on the side also nodded in agreement.
"However, even if she's worse, she's still in third place, Lucy has already been great," Mirajane said.
"Now we can only look at Juvia!" Gajeel crossed his arms and said.
At this moment, inside the water arena.
"Hehe, what use is a celestial spirit mage without her keys?" Minerva chuckled.
Space fluctuations erupted around Lucy again.
The fierce impact force directly knocked Lucy flying towards the outside of the water ball.
Just when everyone thought that Lucy was about to be eliminated.
Lucy's figure suddenly disappeared in place.
In the next moment, she appeared in front of Minerva.
"I won't let you escape so easily, Fairy Tail!"
Her right leg, which had been building up momentum, kicked out heavily.
Bang——!!
The imagined pain didn't come, and Lucy couldn't help but look back at Juvia, who was horizontal in between her and Minerva.
Her leg intersected with Minerva's leg.
The two were using physical strength to fight each other.
"Oh~ you actually got rid of my space suppression," Minerva frowned.
Withdrawing the foot that she had kicked out, Minerva smiled again: "I originally intended to teach that celestial spirit mage a lesson first, and then teach you a lesson, I didn't expect you to be so impatient!"
"Although Miss Lucy is Juvia's love rival... she is also Juvia's comrade..."
Juvia said slowly, her tone extremely sink.
"Wanting to bully Juvia's comrades in front of me, Juvia is really angry!"
She fiercely widened her eyes, and the violent magic power even made the surrounding water flow begin to boil.
Juvia had a clear view of the situation just now.
Lucy, who had her keys taken away and couldn't use magic, had no power to fight back at all, she just needed to knock her out of the arena.
But Minerva didn't do this, she teleported Lucy back again.
This wasn't kindness, everyone understood that Minerva wanted to torture Lucy.
She couldn't endure it, even if she was a love rival, she was still a comrade!
Daring to bully her comrades was Juvia's enemy!
"Juvia..." Lucy looked at Juvia, who was blocking in front of her.
Looking at the person in front of her, Minerva was silent.
Buzz... Vast and aggressive magic power fiercely erupted.
She raised her head, her face becoming extremely ferocious.
