Hiding behind a rock, Gray looked puzzled upon hearing Jura's elimination.

" Damn it! Everything was going very well and this giant monster had to fall on us. "

" And Erza ? " Wanted to know Wendy.

" No idea ! But, it is better for us to stay here and… "

Hearing footsteps, Gray directed his hand behind him to freeze the enemy who wanted to attack them.

" Hey, easy. " Gajeel cried, raising his right arm. " We're on the same team, I'll call you back. "

" Gajeel ? " Gray wondered, seeing the state of the man. " What happened to you ? "

" I fought against a lioness and a wolf. " The magician snapped back, letting himself sit on the floor.

" A lioness and a wolf ? " Wendy wondered, starting to heal him. " Apart from a dog, I didn't see any animals! You won ? "

" Tsss! Let's say the wolf managed to break my arm! But don't worry, I'll rest for two minutes and go back and kick my ass. " Gajeel growled.

" Stay quiet. " Gray advised him, as he glanced over a stone wall.

However, barely his wounds healed, Gajeel recovered his smile, as he twirled his old broken arm.

" Perfect, he is cured! Not bad, shrimp! Your healing spells have improved a lot! I feel like I haven't fought at all! Come on, I'm ready for a second round. "

" No, you stay here. " Gray retorted. " In fact, your presence here is perfect, now that Erza and Jura are no longer with us! Don't forget that you have to protect Wendy at all costs! And then, it is preferable that we stay in a group! We do not know which opponents could fall on us! With a bit of luck, Laxus will join us again. "

As if annoyed by his words, Gajeel rushed at him and gave him a powerful shoulder that knocked him to the ground.

" What … ? " Wondered the ice man. " You want to fight ? "

Nonetheless, he fell silent, seeing a puddle of poison fall where he had been before.

" What … ? "

" Missed. " Coco simply noticed, as he let himself fall in front of the two men.

" Who are you ? " Gajeel questioned him.

" Universe 2 ! " Wendy informed her, recognizing the man.

Being alone behind him, Wendy made the ideal target for Coco who immediately turned to her. Having seen her powers, Coco immediately understood the importance of Wendy within Universe 10. Attacking her teammates was of no use if she was present to heal them.

" POISON RIFLE ! "

Immediately poison surrounded his fist, before he fired several purple bullets at Wendy. Normally, many people were surprised at first by such attacks, first wondering what his strange projectiles were made of.

Unfortunately for Coco, Wendy knew perfectly well that it was poison, thanks to her smell. The substance smelled the same as Cobra's attacks. As a result, the girl was already prepared even before Coco attacked her.

" SKY DRAGON'S ROAR ! "

Without any problem, Wendy's tornado destroys Coco's poisoned projectiles. Seeing this, the man began to run around Wendy.

" GUN POISON ! " He cried, continuing to aim.

However, this time around, a wall of ice builds in front of Wendy, blocking Coco's attack.

" What do you think you are doing ? " Gray questioned, stepping in front of the man.

" Super, a little entertainment. " Gajeel remarked, finding himself behind Coco. " I needed to decompress. "

" ICE SPEAR'S ! "

" IRON DRAGON'S CLUB ! "

Hitting Coco from both sides, both attacks hit him. Still, it didn't take long for purple smoke to be seen around Coco. Turning his body into poison, he had let the attacks hit him, and the mere touch with the poison had dissolved the attacks before doing him any harm.

" What ? "

" POISON RIFLE ! " Coco cried, pointing her arms at the two men before shooting them.

" IRON DRAGON'S SCALE ! "

Simply placing himself behind Gajeel, Gray let his comrade block the attacks with his thick metallic scales.

Seeing him, Coco watched as Gajeel resisted his poison without taking any damage.

" Sorry for you. " Giggles Gajeel. " My skin is tough enough to resist your poison. "

" My poison ... maybe! But not with a double punch. "

" Huh ? "

Hit in the face, Gajeel felt two fists throw him against a rock, much to Gray's surprise.

" What ? "

" We're here, Coco. " Toriko assured.

" Fight ! " Zebra shouted.

" You will pay me. " Gajeel roared, getting to his feet.

However, to his surprise, tears flowed from his eyes, as well as snot.

" What … ? " He wondered, feeling his eyes and nose prick him.

" I observed you/ " Coco assured. " I now know the power of 'dragon hunters'! You have very developed senses! Under normal circumstances I'm sure you would have smelled Toriko and Zebra before they hit you! That's why I fought you first. "

" How ? "

At that moment, Gajeel's vision grew blurry.

" What … ? "

" The poison that touched you earlier may have done nothing to you! Nevertheless, poison vapors immediately surrounded you and you inhaled! The effect of this poison is to degrade all of your senses! Your smell, your sight, your hearing… without them, I doubt you could fight as well as you usually do. "

" You'll see. " Gajeel roared, running towards him. " IRON'S DRAGON… "

" FLYING FORK ! "

Struck by Toriko's attack, Gajeel screamed in pain, feeling four holes appear on his body.

" ICE GORILLA ! " Gray cried, aiming at Toriko.

" VOICE CUTTER ! "

In an instant, Zebra destroys Gray's attack, before running towards him.

" VOICE MISSILE ! "

" SKY DRAGON'S ROAR ! "

A tornado hit the man, sending him flying through the air.

" What…? "

Turning, Coco looked at Wendy, who had just made Zebra fly. Immediately, the young girl aimed at him in turn.

" SKY DRAGON'S WAVE WIND ! "

Making a quick movement with her arm, Wedny created a draft, which turned into a fierce tornado that moved towards Coco.

" HEAT POISON CANNON ! "

In an instant, a wave of poison shot out of Coco's body and hit Wendy's tornado. Mixing with the poison, the white tornado turned purple and eventually vanished, leaving only poisonous smoke to blanket the area.

" HELL POISON ! "

Seeing this, Zebra and Toriko jumped further to avoid breathing poison.

For his part, Gray created an ice dome that protected him and Gajeel. Wendy, meanwhile, hurried to use a healing spell, on herself, to avoid poisoning. But already, Coco was attacking him.

" POISON DRESSING ! "

Seeing Coco's skin covered in poison and throwing several droplets of poison at her, like a machine gun, Wendy covered her feet with magic, in order to move at full speed.

" VERNIER ! "

Dodging each of the attacks, Wendy then leapt into the air, before taking a deep breath.

" SKY DRAGON'S ROAR ! "

Dodging the attack, Coco saw the tornado hitting the land, producing violent squalls that swept away the poisonous gases. Landing on the field, Wendy smiled when she saw that her attack had removed the poison. However, very quickly, purple gas returned in large quantities, coming out of Coco's body.

" That … ? "

" HELL POISON ! Nice effort, member of Fairy Tail! However, until you defeat me, this poison will not go away. "

" Not matter. " Wendy asserted. " As long as I use my healing spells, this gas will have no effect on me. "

" I don't use it against you. " Coco retorted. " But against your comrades. "

" What ? "

Seeing Gray and Gajeel, Wendy glimpses them still protected by the Ice Dome. They were safe, but Wendy understood Coco's strategy. His comrades could no longer come to help him, at the risk of being poisoned as soon as their protection disappeared.

" Damn it. " Growled Gajeel. " What are we waiting for to counter-attack ? "

" As long as this poison is there, we do not move from here! Gray retorted! So it's Wendy who must protect us and eliminate this man. "

At that moment, a cracking sound was heard. Striking the ice shield, dozens of flying forks attacked the dome, hoping to destroy it.

" What ? "

" CANNON FORK ! "

Being on top of a cliff to avoid Coco's poison, Toriko then aimed for Gray's protection and began to destroy it.

" Motherfucker ! " Gray roared, freezing the area of his shield that was hit.

" SOUND BAZOOKA ! "

This time, the sound waves created large cracks in the walls of the dome. Faced with the two attacks, Gray took fright, knowing full well that his protection would only resist for a few seconds.

" DAMN IT! "

" Wendy, hurry up. " Cried Gajeel.

Seeing them in bad shape, Wendy used "VERNIER" again and rushed around Coco, before propelling herself towards Toriko and Zebra.

" SKY DRAGON'S WING ! "

Seeing her do it, Coco aimed at her, before throwing a poisoned spear.

" SPEAR POISON ! "

Turning around, Wendy got scared when she saw the attack rushing at her, and dodged it in extremis. But already, Coco launched a multitude of other attacks.

" You will not be able to escape me. "

" WENDY ! "

"RUBICANTE ! "

Suddenly feeling a vision, Coco widened her gaze, before turning her face to the left. Immediately he saw Bols on top of a rock, aiming at Coco's poison with his weapon. Knowing that there was a chance that this gas would be highly flammable, Bols wanted to detonate this area of the field and try to eliminate several people as well.

" NOOOOOO! Stop! " Cried Coco, jumping back.

Too late. Flames erupted from Bols' weapon.

" RUBICANTE ! "

In an instant, all the fighters still present on the field stopped, hearing the most powerful explosion produced at that moment. Destroying cliffs and sending heavy boulders flying, the explosion showed just how much Bols' flames had set Coconut Gas on fire.

Destroying themselves, Gray's ice dome gave way and the two companions were swept away by the explosion of the attack, as were Toriko, Zebra and Wendy. They too carried away by the power of the attack, Bols and Coco disappeared from the sight of the gods, who only saw a huge cloud of smoke falling on the ground.

" What? What? What? What? " Rumsshi wondered.

" Oh no ! " Pell scared. " Toriko-san and the others… "

" Toriko-san won't lose for so little. " Heles retorted, despite looking at the smoke with interest.

" Waouh! That was an attack. " Leone asserted, leaning over the void.

" Even if he gets eliminated, if Bols has managed to defeat six warriors, he will have greatly contributed to the victory of our team. " Sidra remarked.

" Perhaps ! " Affirmed Mojito. " However, if the explosion killed one of the warriors, I think he will be disqualified, and the team too. "

Frightened by this thought, Rô began to pray "to god", hoping that the explosion of Bols created no accident against the rules.

Finally, when the smoke cleared, everyone saw Gajeel first. Growling, the man couldn't help but be angry. For the second time, he was suspended above the void, with his hands holding the edge of the field.

Seeing him in that position again, Kusu chuckled.

" Gajeel-san seems to like thrills. "

" I would rather say that he is very lucky. " Jura asserted.

" Gajeel, move your buttocks and get back on the ground. " Rumsshi roared.

Growling, being able to hear them, Gajeel climbed back onto the pitch. However, in front of him, he could see Toriko and Zebra.

" Still there ? " Toriko wondered. " Well done, universe 10 is really impressive. " If we hadn't come to help her, I doubt Coco could have gotten the upper hand over you. "

" Grrr! Stop making fun of me. "

" I'm not making fun of you. " Toriko retorted, looking serious. " Before I met Heles-san, I thought I was a strong man! However, at the moment, despite having trained for ten long years, I hardly feel able to compete with any of the fighters on this field! You are worthy opponents and I would like to fight against each of you so that I can learn to see new techniques and strengthen my own power! I have nothing against you and, if I could, I would have preferred to invite you all to a banquet, on my planet, rather than see your universes being destroyed. "

Clenching his fist, he cried out.

" Gajeel, is that your first name? Sorry to have to fight two on one! But we have to win this tournament! I love my world too much to abandon it. "

" Tsss. " Said Gajeel. " Even ten to one, I could beat your entire team! Come back, I'll wait for you. "

" Awesome. " Zebra exclaimed, running towards him. " Let the beginning begin. "


In the area of the explosion, a stone moved. Eventually rolling it onto its side, Gray got out of it, coughing.

" Shit ! I got tricked like a beginner. "

Looking around, he cried out.

" Wendy! Where's Wendy? "

Hearing footsteps behind his back, the man turned and saw only Bols, with his gun pointed at him.

" You ? "

" Sorry for the child! If I could have done otherwise, I would at least have avoided hurting him. "

In response, Gray froze the ground around him.
