Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

After testing each other, the two knew the approximate strength of the other party and came up with a way to deal with it.

"What? You two arrogant fools really think you can defeat the strongest team of our Fiore First Treasure Hunter Guild?!" The enemy was very dissatisfied with Natsu and Gray's confidence.

“Natsu!” Gray shouted.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu unleashed a burst of flames.

"It's useless. Those straight-line attacks won't hit us at all," the enemy said.

“Idiot.” Gray cast a spell.

A curved ice surface was created directly behind the two people.

Natsu's flames struck the ice and then returned along the bend.

'boom--'

Both men were hit in the back.

Meanwhile, Lucy donned her mech suit, flew up the mountain, and knocked out the guy who was secretly shooting with a single punch.

'boom--'

The two enemies were blasted away and then collapsed to the ground.

"Alright, hand over the Moon Drops." Gray went over to take the spoils.

But when he pulled up the man with the sword, he suddenly fell silent.

Beneath him, the bottle containing the drops of moonlight was broken.

The moon's droplets all flowed onto the ground, melting some of the ice, but only a tiny amount, about the size of a palm.

This is a drop in the ocean for the entire village.

"What a pity," Wendy couldn't help but say.

"Do you still have any Moon Drops?" Gray asked menacingly, holding the other man by the arm.

“How could there be so many of those treasures?” said the swordsman.

"Shh—" Gray was about to say something when he saw Natsu telling him to be quiet.

"What's wrong, Natsu?" Lucy asked softly.

"It seems like I can hear something." Natsu lay on the ground, pressing his ear against the melting ice.

“Someone… seems to be calling out to something,” Natsu said.

“Listen carefully, don’t rush,” Gray said.

“I can’t hear you.” Natsu shook his head and said, “We need to get closer.”

He suddenly started running in one direction.

“Natsu has a lead, hurry up and follow!” Gray said.

Natsu is always inexplicably reliable at crucial moments, although it's often quite unpredictable.

For example, during the Dragon King Festival, even in such a desperate scene, Natsu managed to identify a relative.

"Who goes there?!" Erza, who was planning to meet up with Natsu and the others, suddenly looked warily at the pillar beside her.

“Oh—what a delightful scene!” Minerva emerged from behind the pillar.

“Minerva!” Erza exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Erza asked, puzzled.

She didn't really like Minerva.

But at least he's a mage of the Light Guild, so he's not a truly wicked person.

But now, this woman exudes a strange and ominous aura.

This is not a friendly force!

It's the enemy!

Erza drew her longsword. Although fighting was difficult in her shrunken body, she was not about to be captured!

Chapter 271, Bizarre Magic

"You think you can fight me with a body like that?" Minerva mocked.

“Minerva, tell me what happened.” Erza’s face was cold; even though she had shrunk, her expression was still frightening.

She looked at Minerva's exposed belly, and saw that the crest on it was not the Saber-Biting Tiger at all. She realized that things were in trouble.

This is the emblem of the Eye of the Nightmare—a ruthless and dark guild.

"You joined a dark guild?!" Erza demanded. "Why?!"

Minerva laughed and said, "My dream is to reign supreme in the strongest guild. Light and darkness don't matter. The most important thing is to become strong, stand among the strong, and look down on the world."

"Is Nightmare's Eyes that kind of guild?" Erza said. "They're not even as good as Saberbite Tiger."

“That was before—” Minerva said, “if Stinger and the others hadn’t left.”

"Stinger was driven away by you!" Erza immediately said. It was as if the Fairy Tail guild had used some trick to lure Stinger and his companions there.

“Of course I know,” Minerba laughed. “But this has nothing to do with me. Sabertooth is fallen and there’s no longer any possibility. Of course I have to think about myself.”

"As for the Eye of the Nightmare? It is indeed very powerful, but in the end, it is just a stepping stone."

Erza sneered, "You'd better watch out, or you'll become a victim if you're not strong enough."

"Hehe." Minerva chuckled twice. "Then you don't need to worry about it."

“Alright.” Minerva began to adjust her posture, assuming the state before attacking, and said, “That’s enough of the small talk. Let’s fight one more time, although—” Minerva smiled, “In this state, you’re only good for taking a beating.”

Erza suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Is this my companion's magic?"

“That’s right,” Minerva laughed.

“Then this matter is very simple,” Erza said. “Just find that guy and defeat him.”

"Hahaha—" Minerva laughed: "You?!"

Erza didn't answer. The answer in her mind was Natsu and Gray; if that enemy appeared, they would surely defeat him.

If all else fails, there's always Yefrit.

Since it was done by humans, it must be a form of deception, and Yefrit might be in control of the situation right now.

"Huh? What the hell?"

Natsu was running when he suddenly stopped, feeling something was wrong with his body.

Then his body began to shrink.

'clatter'

A masked, burly man emerged from a nearby building and said, "Let's return to our distant memories."

"Was it you who did this?" Natsu, now a child, looked at the other person.

“That’s right, turning you into a child will make things much easier,” the enemy said.

Natsu frowned slightly and said, "You're not one of the thieves, are you?"

“Of course I’m not one of those scum,” the enemy said. “Enough with the nonsense!”

The enemy charged toward Natsu.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu tried to use magic, but instead spat out a small flame.

"Damn it, I could use magic when I was a kid too!" Natsu said, puzzled.

"Because my degeneration magic can also greatly reduce the enemy's abilities," the enemy said.

Trouble!

Natsu wasn't reckless; even in a situation where he had absolutely no chance of winning, he still knew to run away.

He looked up at the sky and exclaimed in shock, "What is that?!"

"Hmm?" The enemy also instinctively looked up.

Natsu seized the opportunity and ran into the forest.

"You brat, how dare you play me!" The enemy immediately gave chase in anger.

"Hahaha, you idiot, you idiot!" Natsu didn't care about stacking Bloodrage on people and mocked them loudly.

Erza is in grave danger.

Minerva's strength is rated S-rank, and Erza would definitely be able to defeat her under normal circumstances, but now she's in big trouble.

She couldn't even find a suit of armor that fit her.

Minerva showed no mercy; she was simply torturing Erza.

"Cough cough."

After Erza was blasted away again, it was difficult for her to continue fighting. Her already limited magic power was almost completely depleted.

“That’s enough, Fairy Queen.” Minerva laughed. “After dealing with you, I wonder what kind of reports the magical world will have about me. I’m really looking forward to it.”

After saying that, Minerva prepared to kill him.

"Red hair—"

Suddenly, a waft of red hair struck Minerba.

"Huh?" Minerva reacted quickly, immediately jumping back and looking at the attacker.

"It's you—Freya!" Erza exclaimed.

“I will not allow you to lay a hand on Lucy’s friends,” Freya said.

“You think you can take me on?” Minerva laughed. “An ant from a guild that was wiped out by Laxus alone.”

Erza scoffed, "What are you laughing at? Natsu also crushed your guild."

Minerva's smile froze on her face, and she roared, "You're asking for death!"
