Before Orga found Laxus, Kagura had already defeated Yukino.
And now, with the elimination of Orga and Rufus, Sabertooth's name vanished from the points ranking screen in the Grand Magic Games' venue.
The live commentator on the high platform also shouted in an impassioned tone: "Contestants Rufus and Orga eliminated! Fairy Tail gains another 2 points!"
"Now, only the five members of Fairy Tail and Contestant Kagura from Mermaid Heel remain!"
As soon as the commentator said this, the Grand Magic Games' venue erupted once again.
"So amazing!"
"As expected of Fairy Tail! To have not a single member eliminated until the very end!"
"This is the true strength of Fairy Tail!"
…
Although the champion was already decided, the audience's enthusiasm didn't wane.
Looking at Kenichi, Erza, and the others on the screen, the spectators all cheered excitedly.
"Only Kagura remains."
Erza, clad in the Nakagami Armor and holding her sword-halberd, turned and set her gaze on Kagura over there.
Kagura naturally also noticed Erza's gaze.
If it were before, Kagura would definitely have fought Erza.
But during the official match, she had already lost to Erza. Fighting again wouldn't be very meaningful.
Kagura turned her cheek slightly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Erza, then she turned and walked towards Milianna not far away.
"Sorry, Kagura, I lost."
Seeing Kagura approach, Milianna said apologetically.
"It was originally for training. Losing is also an experience."
Kagura helped Milianna up, then raised the sword in her hand and said: "The match is over."
At that moment, the scene of Kagura raising her sword and speaking was coincidentally displayed on the screen in the sky above the Grand Magic Games' venue.
The moment Kagura declared the match over, the commentator also loudly announced: "The match is over! Let's all give the warmest applause and cheers to all the teams that participated in this Grand Magic Games!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands all stood up and cheered heartily.
At this moment, the audience's cheers were deafening, resounding through the clouds and throughout the entire capital.
Even Kenichi, Erza, and the group, who were very far from the Grand Magic Games' venue, could hear the cheers clearly.
"It's finally over!"
A light erupted from Erza's body.
After the light faded, the Nakagami Armor on her body had been replaced by her usual silver-white armor.
"Let's go back."
Kenichi glanced at Erza and Mirajane, said with a smile, and then, accompanied by the two women, headed directly towards the Grand Magic Games' venue.
At this time, Sting, sitting on a rock, also heard the cheers and said somewhat bitterly:
"In previous years, hearing these cheers didn't evoke any feeling. But now, hearing them brings a sense of joy!!"
Hearing Sting's words, Rogue said plainly: "Perhaps being champion all the time was boring."
"Maybe."
Sting interlocked his fingers, lowered his head, and spoke. After a few breaths, he asked Rogue again: "Still no news about Young Lady?"
Rogue shook his head.
On the evening of the second day of the Grand Magic Games, Sabertooth's Master, Jiemma, had warned Sting, Rogue, and the others: "Sabertooth does not shelter weaklings."
But the next day, which was the third day of the Grand Magic Games, Minerva lost to Kenichi.
However, after the matches ended that day, both Minerva and Jiemma went missing.
"Let's go. Lector and Frosch are still waiting for us."
Sting looked up at the full moon in the sky, then stood up and walked towards the Grand Magic Games' venue with Rogue.
Before Kenichi, Erza, Sting, Rogue, and the others actually entered the Grand Magic Games' venue, the guild members belonging to the various teams had already gathered outside the venue.
"Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, thank you for your hard work!"
Levy and the other Fairy Tail's members, seeing Kenichi, Erza, and Mirajane approach, all rushed over excitedly to greet them.
"Kenichi! Erza! We're champions! Haha, we're champions!"
"Droy, you've said that several times already. Can you say it less?"
"I'm just excited! After always being last before, now we've suddenly won the championship!"
The excitement of Droy and Jet was also evident on their faces.
"By the way, why don't I see Wendy, Natsu, and the others?"
Seeing how excited Jet and Droy were, Kenichi could understand. He smiled, then scanned the crowd. Not seeing Wendy, Natsu, and the others, he asked casually.
"Princess Hisui of Fiore invited Lucy. Wendy, Natsu, and the others went with her."
Levy said with a smile.
Hearing Levy's words, Kenichi's mind stirred immediately.
Perhaps Levy, Makarov, and the others might not know why Princess Hisui invited Lucy, but Kenichi knew.
'So that Princess is finally going to open the Eclipse Gate, huh?'
In the original work, Future Rogue, to make Princess Hisui believe him, told her that Fairy Tail would win the Grand Magic Games championship, and in an unbelievable way.
And in this Grand Magic Games, the champion was indeed Fairy Tail, and they won in advance.
Although the situation was somewhat different from the original work, Princess Hisui still decided to open the Eclipse Gate the moment Fairy Tail won the championship.
Kenichi knew that once the Eclipse Gate opened, a large number of dragons would emerge from it.
Of course, if Kenichi went to stop it now, given his strength, he could easily destroy the Eclipse Gate, and the so-called Dragon King Festival wouldn't happen.
But Kenichi didn't plan to intervene in this matter.
After all, his primary purpose for participating in this Grand Magic Games was precisely these dragons.
'10,000 dragons... I wonder how many will manage to come out of the gate alive.'
Kenichi looked at the Dragonization attribute on the virtual screen, clenched his fist tightly, and a fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.
