Chapter 184 Cancer Celestial Robe, Lucy's Dual Blade Style!
Chapter 184 Cancer Celestial Robe, Lucy's Dual Blade Style!
Aquarius emerged from the water, violently swinging his water bottle. The resulting surge of water cleanly and cleanly sent the strange fish in the lake flying hundreds of meters away.
"You brat, you actually summoned me out of that filthy water! Your ass's itching for a fight, isn't it?!"
Aquarius transforms into a grumpy older brother, turning to Lucy and unleashing a torrent of angry rebukes, his azure fishtail slamming angrily onto the ground.
Perhaps because her date with her boyfriend was interrupted, she didn't give her master the slightest bit of a friendly look—though she wouldn't have given him any if there was nothing wrong with it.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong!"
Lucy dared not defy the esteemed Lady Aquarius, and could only bow and apologize repeatedly.
This timid and submissive demeanor made Chase, who was watching from a distance, shake his head repeatedly.
Although I know that's how the two of them get along, I always find it inexplicably funny to see Aquarius's fierce expression towards Lucy.
And this is precisely the bond between them that is even more unshakable than that between any other Protoss!
After all, in a sense, Lucy could call Aquarius "Mom"!
However—
Chess narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's worth noting that Lucy was far better than before, both in terms of the speed at which she opened the door and her instantaneous assessment of the situation.
The most direct comparison is that if she were to encounter Vidarudas, the rock star from the assassination guild Three Crows, again, she wouldn't be so easily subdued now!
As expected of a super genius who has immersed himself in the path of magic for countless years, the Dark Magician's training guide is indeed incredibly powerful. Just as Chess was feeling this way, he suddenly noticed a fierce gaze fixed on him.
"So you're the dead man Leo (Loki) was talking about?" Aquarius floated over slowly after scolding Lucy.
"Ah, it should be—"
Chase scratched his head in frustration, cursing Loki for his malicious slander in his mind, before smiling and extending his hand to Aquaria. "Nice to meet you. I'm Chase, you could say I'm the older brother of that silly girl over there?"
In any case, his relationship with Lucy was tacitly acknowledged by Jiude, so there was nothing wrong with using it in his self-introduction.
"Silly girl? Okay, I accept you!"
Aquarius's fierce expression immediately changed, and she flashed a friendly smile that Lucy had never seen before. "I am Aquarius, the Aquarius Celestial Spirit."
Seeing the two of them shake hands so happily and harmoniously, Lucy's lips twitched stiffly.
What kind of ridiculous reason is this for approval?!
You're my Celestial Spirit, shouldn't you have given me a resounding rebuttal?!
And Chesley went too far! Why did he have to add the adjective "idiot" before the introduction?!
Lucy, who was hit twice, wanted to retaliate fiercely, but when she saw Chess and Aquarius looking at her at the same time, the words she was about to say inexplicably turned into a harmless and sweet smile.
Forget it, it's better to avoid trouble.
She can't afford to mess with either of these monsters!
When people feel extremely helpless, they often use a smile to cover up their embarrassment.
After telling Chess that she had a date to go on, Aquaria's body gradually turned into countless specks of light.
In the last second before she vanished, she turned her head and gave Lucy a threatening look: If you dare to call me out again, I'll kill you!
Lucy was so frightened that she stood there speechless.
Boom, boom, boom.
Before she could even catch her breath, the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled violently.
Trees around them fell and collapsed, and amidst the chaotic flying leaves and fallen stones, a huge shadow slowly descended, and a stench filled the air.
It was a purple spider the size of a small mountain, with forelegs as thick as tree trunks and bristles like spears. "It's here again!" Lucy exclaimed again.
Without even considering how such a colossal creature had hidden itself in the forest, she swiftly pulled out the golden key. "Open! The Gate of Virgo, Baloo!"
Barugo appeared, wearing iron chains and a maid's outfit. She looked up at the spider monster and said, "Princess, I'm sorry, please punish me."
+
"Wow, so fast! I haven't even said anything yet!" Lucy exclaimed.
"To deal with an enemy of this size, I might not be able to maintain my current form as required."
"It doesn't matter what, just hurry up and kill it!"
"receive!"
Whoosh!
After the purple light flashed, Baluge transformed from a delicate and beautiful masochistic maid into a gorilla warrior with glowing red eyes and explosive muscles.
Just as the spider monster raised its forelimbs high in preparation for an attack, Balgo spun around, digging several holes in the surrounding ground.
It disrupted the spider monster's physical balance.
Boom!
Its heavy, powerful forelimbs thus veered off course, piercing through the rock beside Lucy and shattering it into countless fragments.
Thanks to her experience teaming up with Natsu, Lucy reacted quickly, leaping away to dodge the shockwave while not forgetting to remark, "It's just a simple change in body size!"
She thought that Baluge wanted to rush up and fight the other party head-on.
"Because when dealing with large monsters, you can't afford to lose in terms of momentum."
The gorilla Baluge emerged from the ground not far away like a groundhog, its expression extremely serious.
Lucy: "...."
"Princess, watch out behind you."
"Huh?"
Lucy, alerted, vaguely heard a chilling voice.
With a sense of foreboding, she stiffly turned around and was shocked to see a dense swarm of red bees flying rapidly toward her, each one as big as a basketball!
"Open! Open! Sagittarius Gate, Sachidarius!"
A burst of golden light shone forth as Sachidarius, dressed in a horse costume, slowly stepped out and solemnly saluted the nearby lake: "Moshi moshi, Sashi bouridana, Lady Lucy."
"I'm here! There's no time to explain, Sachidarius, can you take those monsters down?!" Lucy pointed to the swarm of bees in the air.
"Of course, after all, I'm a sharpshooter, moshi moshi~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sachdarius drew his bowstring, and several arrows shot out at the same time, instantly bringing down a swarm of giant red bees.
"Well done!" Lucy smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Behind them, Chase leaned against a large tree with his arms crossed and a calm expression, silently observing Lucy's battle.
The Dark Magician Girl, who had slipped out for some fresh air, sat on the tree trunk and commented with a smile, "Pretty impressive, considering you couldn't summon two Zodiac Spirits for long before."
Her feet, clad in pink boots, dangled freely in the air, creating a relaxed atmosphere that contrasted sharply with Lucy's arduous struggle.
"This progress is still within expectations, but Chess slightly raised his eyes and looked at the Cyclops monster walking in from another direction. "This time, what she is training is not her ability to split her body."
Even if she is powerful enough to support two or even three Celestials, Lucy cannot change her own weakness.
As a fellow summoning-type mage, he knew very well how fatal this flaw was—whether it was a sudden attack or a speed-type enemy like Gerald, the margin for error was too low.
Especially when the other side has prior knowledge of the relevant information!
Therefore, we must continue to watch until Lucy is forced to use her Celestial Cloth!
As Chase predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.
Lucy, who had already reached the limit of opening two doors, was crushed by a cyclops monster and forced to flee in all directions, completely unable to resist.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Cyclops monster possesses terrifying strength; with a mere wave of its hand, it can smash a large tree into dust, and each time it lands, it leaves a huge crater half a meter deep in the ground.
Lucy was already struggling to dodge these most common attacks, relying entirely on her bursting potential to hold on.
The Dark Magician Girl couldn't stand it any longer, so she put her hands to her face like a megaphone and shouted, "Feed Lucy! You can use the Celestial Spirit Cloth~!"
"If only Canis Minor can succeed, it simply won't work!"
Lucy yelled as she ran for her life, "Why are all these monsters coming at me?!"
Starting with the strange fish in the lake, these monsters and beasts living in the Boondari Forest seemed to have completely ignored Chesgo.
They only relentlessly attack themselves!
Little did she know that because mages frequently came to them with commissions, these creatures, already more intelligent than ordinary beings, had long since learned to distinguish between the strong and were very clear about which humans they could and could not provoke.
As for those who lacked discernment, the grass on their graves was already over two meters tall—
Balgo and Sachidarius, who were held back by their respective monsters, appeared quite calm. Under normal circumstances, they would have quickly dealt with their opponents and prioritized Lucy's safety.
But now, they have clearly realized Chase's true intentions, so they are not in a hurry.
Thus, Lucy, who was "isolated," was forced into a corner with nowhere to retreat by the Cyclops monster, and had to lean against a big tree.
Roar! !
The Cyclops monster roared and raised its fist, covered in thick white fur, high into the air.
A sense of danger approached, and Lucy took a deep breath, preparing to try the Celestial Robe magic again.
A golden magic circle bloomed, and the ever-increasing magic power condensed into an updraft, causing her clothes and skirt to sway continuously.
It seems to have gained some momentum?
Just as Chess thought this, the magic circle shattered, turning into a sky full of golden light that quickly dissipated.
It failed.
Disappointment also appeared on the Cyclops Beast's face. Feeling tricked, it became enraged and swung its heavy fist down.
At that moment, the dark magician girl sitting in the tree gently waved her staff.
Boom!!
The enormous fist, which had silently altered its trajectory, created a tearing hurricane, grazing Lucy's side and slamming down hard, causing the surrounding ground to crack inch by inch!
The terrifying destructive power made Lucy's expression turn into a meme, thankfully the shot missed.
After realizing what was happening, she turned and ran, once again playing the game of running and being chased by the Cyclops monster.
However, this time, Lucy hadn't run very far when, without noticing, she got tangled in a thick vine by the roadside.
As if possessing its own consciousness, the vines climbed up Lucy's ankles, binding her in place and tightening their grip.
At the same time, the Cyclops monster had caught up, its massive body casting a dark shadow and bringing a sense of despair and oppression.
Lucy struggled frantically, but she could not shake off the extremely resilient vines. She could only watch helplessly as the Cyclops monster raised its huge foot and slowly moved to be directly above her.
If you get stepped on by this foot, you'll definitely turn into a meat pie!
Lucy looked on in terror, almost instinctively glancing in the direction of Chase.
Having already dealt with the monster, Balgo and Sachidarius frowned slightly, their eyes filled with worry, ready to provide support at any time.
They could train as they pleased, but they simply couldn't risk Lucy's safety!
Even so, Chase remained in a spectator's posture with his arms crossed, showing no sign of intervening whatsoever.
Only a life-threatening crisis can unleash the Celestial Spirit Mage's greatest potential; he was determined to drive Lucy to the brink of despair!
There is no need for any verbal communication, and there is not enough time.
The moment their eyes met, Lucy understood all of Chase's thoughts and finally realized why he had brought a newcomer like herself to carry out the SS commission.
That was awful! Chess trusted me more than anyone else, but all I thought about was that as long as I was with Chess, I wouldn't be in any danger.
Lucy's pupils contracted. Despite being squeezed by the vines and struggling to breathe, her face turned pale, but her panicked and fearful heart became increasingly calm.
With Chesgo around, even defeat won't kill you, but...
"I don't want to let Chesgo down. I can do it, I'm sure I can!!"
Lucy roared to the sky, gripping the golden key tightly in her palm.
Boom!!
The Cyclops monster stomped down with its powerful foot, crushing Lucy and the area around her to dust!
The earthquake trembled, and gravel mixed with the sap of flying vines flew everywhere.
The pupils on the cyclops monster's head shifted slightly as it looked at the landing spot, then it was suddenly startled.
Following its gaze, one could see the gentle breeze in the forest dispelling the billowing dust, and the golden twin tails fluttering slowly in the wind.
Lucy wielded two red swords, and her blue striped clothes were transformed into a light blue and white wide-sleeved uniform.
Standing tall and straight on the shattered ground, she vaguely resembled Erza's heroic spirit.
The Dark Magician Girl jumped down from the tree, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Lucy: "Is this the complete form of the Celestial Cloth? Not bad at all!" The man chuckled, "To be able to think of using the power of Cancer Caesar in that instant to cut through the vines and avoid a fatal attack, that's good judgment."
This silly little sister really lived up to his expectations—even though he secretly gave Lucy the magic card "Unicorn Horn," which can amplify magic power.
The Celestial Robe spell allows one to utilize some of the Celestial's abilities through clothing.
Based on this principle, if Lucy, who has already summoned Balrog and Sachidarius, wants to use the power of other Celestials, she must simultaneously stabilize the three gates.
Clearly, she simply cannot achieve this level of accomplishment in her current state!
Lucy didn't notice the horn that suddenly grew on her forehead. After quickly getting used to the Cancer's abilities, she bent her legs and unleashed a powerful force, stepping on the cyclops monster's foot to launch a counterattack.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The dual-wielding sword light was released at an extremely fast speed, slicing from the cyclops monster's lower leg all the way to its head.
The white hair that was cut off fell like snowflakes. As Lucy made the last cut, she leaped and landed gracefully. The thick fur on the Cyclops monster's body was shaved clean, making it even more exposed than Gray when he took off his clothes!
As expected of someone who inherited the abilities of Caesar, the chief barber of the Protoss Realm, his skills are truly exquisite. In the cool breeze, the Cyclops monster, stripped naked, instinctively clamped its legs together and covered its private parts.
After looking around for a moment, the burly man, his face flushed, took off running and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Balgo and Sachidarius breathed a sigh of relief, with faint smiles on their lips, and turned into starlight to return to the Celestial Realm.
"Success!"
Lucy was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, then ran towards Chess like a primary school student eager to show off after getting a perfect score, "Chess! Dark Magician Girl! Did you see that? I did it!!"
"That was a fantastic battle, Lucy!" The Dark Magician Girl gave her a thumbs up.
Chess shifted his body, facing the large tree to the side, and said, "Remember this feeling well. Once you take the first step, the rest of your cultivation will be much easier."
"I'm here!!"
Lucy thought he had caught it from Sachidarius and kept waving to him.
Chase didn't turn around; he simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snapped.
The magic card's effect immediately dissipated, and the unicorn horn that had been placed on Lucy's forehead vanished like a bubble.
Before Lucy could even react to what was happening, an overwhelming sense of mana depletion swept over her, and her Cancer Astral Robe burst open with a "bang."
"Huh?! What?!"
