Chapter 69 - Irene Competes

So the next day…

“All members of the Fairy Tail are required to participate! The 24-Hours Endurance Road Race! Hello everyone, I am Jason, the ace reporter from Sorcerer Magazine, and I will report for you!”

“First of all, let me tell you about the rules of the event. This year, on the top of Mt. Ivor, many Wyvern Scales were placed. The winner is the one who gets the scales and returns first. The top three will be rewarded. But the last one will be punished, and a funny photo will be taken, which will be published in Sorcerer Magazine, the best-selling weekly magazine in the magic world!”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with short black hair, and beside him was a yellow-haired intern with a relatively youthful face.

“There are so many activities this year!”

Wakaba, with an airplane head and a cigarette holder in his mouth, preached to the crowd.

“You must be slower than me…”

Macao is exercising his muscles and bones. In terms of endurance, he is still somewhat confident. Although he can’t be the first, there is no problem in ranking among the best.

“Comparing speed?! In terms of speed, Reedus will not lose to anyone! Even light…”

Laxus put his hands in his trouser pockets, and bursts of golden lightning were wrapped around him.

At the same time, Laxus also took a look at Evan beside him. Of course he knew Evan’s ability. Laxus decided to compete with Evan!

“I won’t lose…”

Erza was wearing a professional sportswear for sprinting, exercising her muscles.

“Why should I participate in such a boring competition?! If you waste time here, the girls will cry…”

Gildarts looked confused, because it was almost the end of the year, so he didn’t go out to do the mission.

“Stop talking nonsense…”

Makarov spoke to the listless Gildarts.

“Fate shows that my grades will not be very good…”

Carla wanted to cry, she was really not good at running or something.

“Grey!”

” Lyon!”

“Let’s work hard together!”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other, eager to try.

Children are like this, they are motivated in everything…

“You two, I don’t know how to release water!”

Standing behind Gray and Lyon, Ultear smiled.

“Eh?! Is Ultear also participating?”

After hearing Ultear’s words, Gray and Lyon were shocked.

“Certainly.”

Ultear nodded, not only would she participate, but she was aiming to win.

At the same time, it was also for relaxation. She was not very optimistic about the investigation task that Evan told her about these days. The opponent’s hiding method is very powerful, but this is of course, if the hiding method is not powerful, it should have been discovered by the Magic Council long ago…

“There is no one who can be called an opponent at all?!”

“Could it be that the system looked at me poorly and gave me a 100 Years Quest Medal for nothing?”

Evan looked at the contestants around him, raised him brows, and felt puzzled.

Evan, who owns the Glint-Glint Devil Fruit, is really a bit flustered! In his eyes, there is nothing faster than light in this world…

At the same time, Evan looked forward to the reward he received when he won the first place, the Centennial Medal, which is a universal medal that can be upgraded at will!

“I don’t care! Let’s talk after winning the championship!”

Evan moved his body a bit. His goal was simple, to win the Fairy Tail 24-Hour Endurance Road Race!

“God!”

Just when Evan regarded the champion of the endurance competition as his own, a voice that was extremely familiar to Evan sounded from behind him.

“Hey hey hey! No way?!”

“This voice, could it be…”

Evan trembled when he heard the voice behind him. Now he finally knew why the system set the reward for winning the 24-Hours Endurance Road Race as the Centennial Medal.

It can be said that this mission is completely dependent on the strength of a person who appears behind him at this moment, and the level is carried up!

“It’s a pity! Evan and Erza!”

“Because the Guild Master said that all members are forced to participate, today we are opponents…”

Irene smiled slightly at Evan and Erza.

“Is Irene also participating in the 24-Hours Endurance Road Race?!”

“It’s a mistake. If Irene is also participating, then the difficulty of the task can indeed be called a 100 Years Quest Level…”

Evan was startled. If Irene was the opponent, it would be reasonable to call it the difficulty of the 100 Year Quest, right? ! After all, even if it takes a hundred years for the mages of Ishgar, it is difficult to defeat Irene!

“But no matter how fast Irene is, she can’t be too fast, right?!”

Evan still has the confidence to win the game, at least before Irene makes a move, Evan still has confidence…

Until…

“Game start!”

Immediately after Makarov’s voice fell, a group of Fairy Tail mages moved.

“This battle is over from the very beginning. In terms of speed, nothing is faster than light!”

As Evan said, his body turned into countless rays of light and flew into the air.

“Eh?! Flying?”

“Isn’t this cheating?!”

All the mages on the ground looked at Evan who had turned into light and flew into the sky, and shouted unwillingly.

“Don’t say I’m cheating, because in the future, it will only be worse…”

Evan didn’t pay attention to the words of the losers on the ground at all. His body instantly became elementalized. Of course, while elementalizing, he still had to use knowledge to lock the position, otherwise, he would be directly lost. After all, the light is too fast to surpass his targeted mountain, even when Evan turns into light and moves.

However…

The moment Evan used the Glint-Glint Devil Fruit, Irene moved!

He saw the wand in Irene’s hand lightly touching the ground, and her red lips moved slightly, “Enchantment!”

Yes, time that was faster than light stops!

“Damn Evan, but we don’t…”

The mages who shouted “Fairy Tail, who can’t admit defeat”, paused in place for an instant, and they still kept their mouths wide open, angrily scolding Evan for being despicable.

In an instant, all the Fairy Tail mages who were about to move forward, including a large audience gathered around, their expressions were all paused!

Not only that…

The time in the entire town of Magnolia was directly suspended by Irene!

“What is this?! Can Irene also add stagnation attributes to time and space within a certain range?!”

Evan, who had upgraded his time resistance to level 8, turned into light and floated, his pupils trembling.

Level 8 time resistance gives him a higher resistance to time magic. If the magic power or time magic does not reach level 8, he can mostly ignore it directly, but right now he is still suspended!

It’s just because the person who releases this time magic is too different from his rank…

As a result, the time resistance of level 8 only allows Evan to move his mind freely during Irene’s time stop.

“But that’s right, since the war concubine who can use time magic is still ranked below Irene and the Wizard King, there is no reason for Irene and the Wizard King not to use time to stagnate…”

“Then I’m doomed now!”

Evan was floating in mid-air, his thoughts constantly turning.
