Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

Yefrit's deceptive magic has two applications.

The first is deception, and the effect of deception is not diminished by the strength of the other party.

The second type is fraud, which involves manipulating the other party's emotions through guidance.

Perhaps Yefrit hasn't studied the second method deeply enough, or perhaps it's the nature of magic, but his ability to control emotions is now limited by the strength of the other person's will.

If the other person has a strong will, the effect of this emotional guidance will be weakened.

Therefore, guiding emotions wouldn't be very effective for Joseph.

While deceiving Joseph's five senses was very effective, achieving perfect deception.

When Yefrit attacks, her magic is not used in a deceptive, insidious way, but rather as a direct, offensive application of magic.

Deceptive magic, which fools the five senses with unerring accuracy, is all due to the subtle, undetectable contagion of magical power. Even the guild master, Makarov, can be infected and affected by it.

But when Yefrit actually attacks, he will use Til and Honey.

Till's six functions all fall under the category of detonating magic, similar to Natsu burning flames and Gray using magic to create ice.

Honey's sharpness is aided by magic, similar to how Erza uses her weapons.

Neither of these two methods falls under the category of the original application of deceptive magic.

Simply put, it means that a weakness will be revealed the moment an attack is launched.

Even if the flaw is very small and the time is so short that it only lasts for a moment.

Even S-class personnel would have difficulty detecting it.

But this absolutely does not include Joseph.

With his exceptional combat experience, Joseph was able to dodge and counterattack the instant he detected an opening.

This is the power of a Saint Ten!

Whether it's magical power, fighting will, combat experience, or reaction speed, they are all top-notch!

“Troublesome kid.” Joseph frowned, still under the influence of Yefrit’s magic.

At times, various powerful enemies appear before them, including Makarov, who grows to be even larger than a demon.

At times, the ground beneath your feet collapses, creating an incredibly real feeling of weightlessness.

Sometimes suddenly everything goes black, I can't hear anything, and I can't feel anything.

At other times, Yefriede's whereabouts are "seen".

Jefried used almost every imaginable scenario and combination to deceive Joseph.

But Joseph was always able to distinguish between deception and real attacks.

He was able to wake up from the "deception" the moment Yefried showed a weakness, and then launch a counterattack while defending.

This is the fighting power of the Ten Wizard Saints, not to be underestimated!

“Fairy Tail kid.” Joseph ignored the deception once again, launched a counterattack in the instant he dodged the attack, and then praised with great emotion, “I must say, you really do possess a terrifying kind of magic.”

"It completely deceives my five senses and even tries to penetrate my heart and guide my emotions."

"If I were given time to grow and refine my magic, I'm afraid I would also find it difficult."

"Or if I let you cooperate with Makarov, I will definitely be defeated."

"But there aren't that many 'ifs'."

“Alright, I’ve figured out your tricks. Now, it’s my turn.” Joseph asked, “Young man, where does darkness hide most easily and easily?”

Chapter 40, Cooperative Hard-Fought Battle

"!!!"

Yefrit suddenly realized what was happening and quickly used his jetpack to try and fly into the sky.

But this time he failed to take off!

He looked down and saw that the collapsed building had created a shadowy area from which dark magic silently extended, binding his legs.

'Boom'

A bolt of lightning struck, grazing Yefrit's nose as it landed on the ground, its powerful golden magic dispelling the dark magic.

'hiss'

Laxus tore up the photo and took a step forward.

'Hi la la la la'

His body was crackling with violent golden lightning, and it seemed that his magic belonged to the same category as Natsu's.

Of course, he's a Dragon Slayer Mage too.

Joseph's face was grave.

Laxus has extremely high attack power, but lacks combat skills. He can be defeated by his rich combat experience.

Yefrit's magic is cunning and unpredictable; one can easily fall into his trap if one is not careful. However, his attack pattern is very simple, relying almost entirely on his gun.

As for the knife that cut off Putton's left hand, would he dare to approach him now that he's fully powered up?

If you do it separately.

Joseph was confident that he could crush them until the end.

But when these two work together, things get complicated!

“Listen to me,” Laxus said.

“Okay.” Yevlith nodded. “Laxus, I’ve tricked him with magic, let’s go!”

"."

Laxus hesitated for a moment, looking at Joseph who was standing there in a daze, but finally unleashed his magic power, transforming into a bolt of lightning and rushing over.

Yefried unleashed her magic at full power, almost to the point that Joseph was fighting in his mind while his body remained motionless in reality.

However, Laxus's violent magic, rushing towards Joseph without any concealment, still made him sense it and "wake up".

When Joseph realized he had been deceived and broke through one layer of magical influence, although he could not see Laxus, he could feel a frenzied lightning magic rushing towards him.

"Thunder Dragon's Crushing Fist!"

"Dark Spiral!"

'boom'

Two immense magical forces collided, and both of them were sent flying backward.

Yefrit had anticipated this and unleashed a Cero after charging for three seconds.

'Om'

The Cero enveloped Joseph, but was disintegrated by darkness the next second.

Yefritte quickly dodged.

‘Boom boom boom’

As he dodged, the spot where he had been standing was blasted into ruins by a series of dark magic spells.

Laxus quickly adjusted his position and charged towards Joseph again.

Repeating the same trick—

Yefried once again used magic to influence Joseph's judgment.

This time the distance was too close.

Joseph realized what was happening, but he couldn't keep up.

"Thunder Dragon's Roar!"

The thunder dragon roared and struck Joseph squarely in the face!

'call'

A dark shadow trailing a long plume of smoke plummeted from the sky.

It was Joseph.

His expensive mage robes were tattered, his hat was missing, he was smoking, and golden lightning still lingered around him.

He was in a terrible state, but before he could even adjust his body, Yefrit's bombardment hit him squarely in front of him.

'Boom'

Accurate hit!

Laxus pressed its advantage once again!

"Kids, don't get too cocky!"

Joseph roared and unleashed a series of dark magic attacks simultaneously at Yefrit and Laxus.

The influence spread widely, forcing Yefrit to retreat.

A small but powerful attack, aimed at Laxus with all its might.

'boom'

As Yefrit retreated, avoiding the bombardment of dark magic, Laxus was also knocked away by Joseph.

'Swish'

In an instant, Joseph appeared in front of Laxus.

not good!

Laxus was startled!

Joseph, with his mastery of teleportation magic, was experienced enough that while he couldn't lock onto Yefrit, who could change locations with a single shot, he could lock onto Laxus's ever-present burst of magic.

Yefritte!

Laxus suddenly looked at Yefrit and instantly withdrew all his magic power!
