Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 235 If Moen weren't here (Please subscribe!)

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Mirajane's body flew backward. Having received the "Soul of Satan" and entered battle mode, she looked quite disheveled.

Mirajane, in her "demon state," possesses extremely high speed, a powerful physique, and a vast amount of magic power. This ability is practically cheating and is also the strength of "receiving magic."

"Receiving magic" is like catching a "Pokémon". If you catch a powerful "Pokémon", your strength will immediately undergo a qualitative change.

However, the prerequisite for a qualitative change and becoming stronger is that the mage using "receive magic" can actually control the "Pokémon". If they cannot control it, the mage themselves will be in danger of death and may be "received back".

Once a mage is "reverse-received," they become a vessel for a magical beast, being absorbed into its body, and all their skills are rendered useless.

People like Mirajane are extremely lucky and highly talented.

Otherwise, when she went to receive the demon when she knew nothing, the ending should have been that she was "received" by the demon and became a part of the demon.

Instead of successfully receiving the demon directly, some of its power simply overflows uncontrollably.

Mirajane's "devil's hand" only emerged when she was resisting the power of the demon. If she had known magic from the beginning, she wouldn't have been able to suppress it at all.

Mirajane, who naturally awakened the "receiving magic," has an "ability to receive" that is indeed a bit exaggerated, simply unreasonable.

However, Mirajane, now transformed into a demon, was still defeated. Despite her enhanced physical abilities and magical power, she failed to display her true prowess against the raging "Beast King."

"This guy is more powerful than I thought."

Mirajane got up from the ground, her face pale.

She could already sense that this "King of Beasts" was not just a "King of Kings"; it was the true "King of Kings"!
The monster was incredibly imposing, possessing immense magical power, even surpassing Mirajane's, which left her in a very sorry state.

"We've encountered the worst-case scenario!"

Elfman bravely stood in front of Mirajane, determined to withstand the monster's attacks and buy his sister a chance to catch her breath!

The enormous creature before him made Elfman grit his teeth; he would be lucky to withstand even a few blows from this monster.

No one expected that they would actually run into the best of the best among the "Beast Kings," it was like drawing the worst possible lot in the lottery.

"Roar!!!"

The "Beast King" approached the siblings, roared, and then swung its paw at them. Elfman fought back with all his might, but unfortunately, he was still slapped away by the "Beast King".

"Elfman! Damn it!"

Seeing her younger brother being sent flying, Mirajane was furious. She stared intently at the monster in front of her. This "Beast King" had dark red fur and hair, which was almost purple or black. It was also quite large, with two long and thick horns on its head.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Although the enemy was very strong and the pressure they exerted was immense, Mira would not back down. She charged towards the "King of Beasts" once again.

"boom!!!"

Mirajane kept firing dark magic missiles. The purple magic missiles hit the upright "Beast King" and exploded into "fireworks", but unfortunately, they did not cause much damage to the "Beast King" and were all resisted by the huge magic power.

"Buzz!"

The "Beast King" slapped Mirajane, but Mirajane nimbly dodged it. Mirajane flapped her wings, suddenly accelerated, and kept changing position in the sky to avoid the "Beast King's" attack.

Although this "Beast King" is enormous, its attack speed is actually quite fast. Mirajane needs to concentrate very much while flying in the air, because she might be knocked away in the next second.

"boom!"

As expected, Mirajane flew around, constantly unleashing her firepower at the "Beast King," but her attacks had little effect. Instead, she was hit by the "Beast King" and slammed to the ground.

"Elfman, run!"

Mirajane had barely managed to stand up despite her excruciating pain when her eyes widened in shock. Elfman, who had been sent flying earlier, had once again appeared and blocked the "Beast King's" path.

"I will never let you hurt my sister!"

Although Elfman had bruises and swelling on his face, he didn't seem to be seriously injured, which is one of the benefits of being physically strong.

Clearly, Elfman had no intention of listening to Mirajane. If anyone was going to run, it would be Mirajane, and Elfman would stay behind to cover their retreat. He had promised to protect his sister, and he certainly wouldn't break his promise.

"Boom boom boom!"

The "Beast King" chose to uphold Elfman's loyalty and gave the kid a good beating, leaving Elfman completely helpless.

"This brat!"

Mirajane propped herself up, ready to take over again; she couldn't just watch her brother get beaten up alone.

The siblings worked together quite well, each taking turns to tank damage, preventing anyone from being the constant target of the "Beast King." Unfortunately, Elfman was indeed a bit weaker; he couldn't hold out for long before being beaten to the point of questioning his existence.

"boom!"

Mirajane took off again to relieve some of the pressure on her brother. She unleashed a barrage of firepower, relentlessly bombarding the "Beast King" in hopes of drawing its attention away from the monster and stopping its brutal beating of Elfman.

But this time, Mirajane's bombardment had no effect. The "Beast King" seemed to have figured it out. He insisted on dealing with one of them first, and Elfman was indeed easier to deal with.

"hateful!!!"

Mirajane was naturally very upset that the "Beast King" wouldn't shift its attack target. She could only increase her firepower and attack the monster with all her might.

"Roar!!!"

The "Beast King" roared, clearly in pain from the beating, but it didn't change its target, continuing to relentlessly pound Elfman.

"Buzz!!!"

Just as Mirajane was intensifying her bombardment, Elfman, trapped in the relentlessly battered crater, also began his own efforts to save himself.

Without any hesitation, Elfman began to "receive" the enormous monster. He had no choice; he had come to realize that if he continued to be beaten like this, he would definitely not be able to hold on and might be turned into a pulp.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, Elfman launched a powerful attack, determined to desperately "take over" this behemoth and end the battle by controlling the "Beast King." "That's impossible."

Seeing this, Moen shook his head. Under these circumstances, it was impossible to successfully "receive" the monster. This "Beast King" was clearly stronger than Elfman, and Elfman would have a hard time suppressing it.

As expected, after Elfman used "Receive", although the "Beast King" froze for a moment as if it had been forcibly controlled, it did not show any intention of being absorbed into Elfman's body. Instead, Elfman was directly absorbed into it.

The good news is that we don't have to worry about being smashed into mincemeat for now; the bad news is that we might be directly absorbed as nourishment by this "beast king".

"Elfman!"

Mirajane was stunned to see her younger brother being absorbed into the "Beast King's" body. She didn't have time to blame Elfman for being too reckless; what she had to do now was defeat the monster!

Once the monster that successfully "returned to its body" is defeated, the person inside it will be released, provided that the person is still inside the monster and has not already been digested.

Therefore, Mirajane knew she had to race against time; every second that passed meant a greater danger to Elfman.

"boom!"

Furious and anxious, Mirajane charged forward, only to be knocked away by the "Beast King" once again. After absorbing Elfman, the "Beast King" seemed to have become even stronger, and now it was truly suppressing Mirajane, using her as a ball to beat as it flew through the air.

"elder sister!"

Mirajane lay on the ground, barely managing to get up. The sudden sound startled and angered her, for it was her sister Lisanna's voice.

"Mira! What happened to her?! Where's Elfman?!"

Lisanna, who had been transformed into a bird, flew to Mirajane's side and transformed back into human form. She helped Mirajane up and asked with a shocked and worried expression, clearly not expecting the battle to end this way. This was even worse than the defeat she had imagined.

"."

Mirajane shook her head, her face grim.

"Who let you come here?! Get out of here right now!"

Mirajane scolded Lisanna, then shoved her sister Lisanna away, urging the disobedient girl to run away.

"It's alright, Mira, there's no need to fight anymore."

However, Lisanna was not flustered or anxious at all. Instead, she comforted Mirajane and was not even worried about her brother Elfman, who was still in danger, which Mirajane found incredible.

"you"

Just as Mirajane was about to question Lisanna, she saw a figure appear in the sky and then understood Lisanna's words. Indeed, she no longer needed to fight.

"Boom!!!"

As Moen channeled his magic, the sky brightened instantly, stars twinkled, and magic flowed. Moen threw a simple punch, yet it created a sensation that seemed to change the very fabric of the world.

The "Beast King" turned and fled without hesitation upon seeing Moen. Its terrifying aura was such that even if it had more courage, it wouldn't dare to fight Moen.

Unfortunately, Moen had no intention of letting it go. Putting aside the fact that Elfman was waiting to be rescued inside the monster's belly, even for the sake of the guild's mission completion rate, he couldn't just let it escape. Moen simply unleashed a Pegasus Meteor Fist.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Countless fist shadows slammed into the monster in the blink of an eye. Without any suspense, the "Beast King" collapsed and its body rapidly shrank until only Elfman remained.

"Is it over?"

Seeing the scene before her, Mirajane was stunned and spoke. She had become an S-class mage, but the gap between her and Moen was ridiculously large. The "Beast King" who could suppress her was no match for Moen.

"Brother Elfman! How are you feeling?!"

Mirajane was still in shock when Lisanna ran over. As she ran, she looked worriedly at her brother Elfman lying on the ground. She was afraid that Elfman had been punched to death by Moeng. That punch, which had blotted out the sky and changed the color of the earth, was indeed worrying.

However, the one who should really be worried is not Elfman, but Lisanna herself. After Moen appeared, the "Beast King" tried to escape and dashed away. Lisanna went to take care of her sister Mirajane first, and then distanced herself from the battlefield. She was quite far from Elfman's position.

"Buzz!"

Lisanna was approaching Elfman's location, but danger was already looming over her. A magical vortex rapidly formed above her and then immediately began to activate.

"?"

Moen, who had been keeping a close eye on Lisanna and had never let his guard down, was a little confused when he saw this scene. Wait, what kind of operation is this?
Because she escaped the previous ordeal, she triggered the lightning tribulation? What does that mean? Does it mean that Soldier Lisanna can't be saved today?
"Boom!!!"

With a flash of golden light, the Aries Gold Cloth appeared, and Moen vanished, reappearing beside Lisanna. Only after entering this suddenly appearing "magic vortex" did Moen realize what it was; no wonder it looked familiar.

"Anima, the Hypersubspace Magic!"

That's right, this is the magic from a parallel world.

'Anima, a magic that absorbs things from Esland into a parallel world to replenish its magic power—it just so happens to appear here. Is this Lisanna's fate? Was she absorbed by Anima into a parallel world and became magical nourishment?'
While thinking this, Moen's hands didn't slow down at all. The instant the "hyperspace magic" was activated, Moen had already teleported away with Lisanna, avoiding being sucked in.

The terrifying suction from the parallel world, the sinister magic from Edolas, could not stop Moen's instantaneous teleportation.

"Brother Moen, what was that just now?"

Lisanna was pulled away by Moen and teleported away instantly, her face still showing lingering fear.

Just now, in that terrifying vortex of magic, she felt like she was on the verge of death. She was as fragile as a grain of sand and couldn't react at all in that vortex of magic.

"It is a dangerous spell."

Moen narrowed his eyes as he answered, looking at the spot where the "magic vortex" had been, which was indeed barren.

"."

Lisanna stared blankly at the open space, where everything seemed to have vanished into thin air, swallowed up by the magical vortex. What would have happened to her if Moenge hadn't been there?
"Lisanna!"

While Lisanna was still in a daze, she was suddenly hugged by Mirajane, who had just been teleported there by Moen.

Mirajane wasn't caught in the magic vortex, but she was extremely anxious watching Lisanna get caught in it. After witnessing the terrifying power of the magic vortex, Mirajane felt a wave of fear, especially if Moen hadn't been there.
Mirajane glanced at Lisanna, then at Elfman, who had just been brought there by Moen. If Moen hadn't been there, she might have lost both her younger brother and sister today.
