Chapter 248: Ch 248 : Laxus VS Alexei
Grand Magic Games, Day 3 – Duel Stage
The first match featured Mermaid Heel's Millianna vs. Quatro Puppy's Semmes.
It was an extreme showdown between agility and resilience.
In the end, Millianna's superior technique prevailed as she used steel pipes to completely bind Semmes, rendering him immobile and securing her victory.
"You've gotten stronger, Millianna," Erza said with a smile from the stands.
Lucy commented, "That steel pipe restraint move doesn't seem related at all to the magic power value measured earlier."
Meanwhile, Natsu, recalling their past fight during the Tower of Heaven incident, wore a slightly awkward expression.
"I had a tough time when I fought her back then too..."
The second match was Sabertooth's Rufus vs. Blue Pegasus' Hibiki.
Though Hibiki's ice magic had improved significantly over the past seven years and he put up a strong performance, he still struggled against Rufus' Memory-Make magic.
Rufus replicated powerful fire magic and overwhelmed Hibiki, securing an easy victory.
