Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"You have angered me!" the enemy roared. "I am the demon—Deliathea!"

Delyatai's body rapidly expanded, regaining its enormous size.

“This feeling.” Gray sensed that the other person’s aura was very similar to Deliora’s.

“Natsu, he’s Zeref’s demon,” Gray warned.

“I can tell too,” Natsu replied.

"Roar--"

Deliatai, now transformed into a giant demon, roared and unleashed his magic in full force!

"Damn it!" Natsu and Gray felt they were being suppressed, and now it was even harder to fight.

the other side.

"Hey?"

Lucy and the others, who were attacking Minerva, discovered that their power was rapidly diminishing.

More than just strength!

And your body too!

"What happened?!" Lucy, Wendy, Charlotte, Happy, and Freya have all turned into children!

"Hahaha—" Minerva, the only one immune to damage from her teammates, burst into laughter: "That piece of trash, he's actually quite useful after all!"

"This is troublesome," Erza couldn't help but say.

Everything has changed on their end.

Then it seems Natsu and Gray won't be able to fight either.

It seems——

This is the only option left.

"What do we do now?"

Natsu and Gray were both dumbfounded.

“Call someone,” Gray said. “Get that voyeur out here to help.”

"Yefflit!!!"

Natsu immediately looked up and shouted.

"Stop shouting, you're going to deafen us," Yefrit's voice rang out beside Natsu.

"So you've been with us all along, huh?" Gray said speechlessly. He looked at Yefrit and noticed that she had also shrunk. He said, "Even you've been affected by magic. How are we supposed to fight now?"

"Huh?" Yefrit pushed up her glasses, which had become particularly loose because of her smaller size, and then said, "It doesn't affect me much."

That’s true.

Yefrit's first stage of deception magic reached its peak during his childhood.

"He can't see you?" Gray looked at Deliatai.

At this moment, Deliatai turned his head to look in another direction, intending to launch an attack.

“Correction, he can’t see us,” Yevlit said. “He’s been deceived.”

After saying that, Yefried took out a card, and with a flick of her wrist, it turned into a gun.

He lifted Till and began to charge up his Cero.

"Hmm?" Delyatai turned his head in confusion. Why did he sense a fluctuation of magic?

"Minerva—" Just as Minerva was about to make her move, at this crucial moment, Lucy called out, "An old friend wants to see you!"

“Huh? Who?” Minerva frowned.

“Yeflit,” Lucy said.

“Heh heh—” Minerva laughed and said, “You think you can scare me? He didn’t even come!”

"No, no, no—I've always been by your side. Hmm? Something doesn't feel right about that."

Beside Minerva, Yefrit in his adult form appeared. He adjusted his glasses and said, "I must say, your bird doesn't taste very good."

Minerva's breathing completely stopped!

Chapter 272, Meeting the Parents, Gaining Approval

In fact, Yefried, who was next to Minerva, was an imposter; it was all a deception.

The real Yefrit is with Natsu and Gray.

But even so.

Perhaps due to the immense psychological trauma, Minerva was completely frozen in fear.

It's like those small animals that, after encountering something terrifying, simply freeze and die.

the other side.

Even though the gigantic demon Delyatai sensed the fluctuations in magic, he was so foolish at that moment that he chose to believe his eyes.

I won't avoid it!

'Om'

One Cero shot, and he was gone.

Natsu and Gray's bodies returned to normal.

Yefrit glanced at the two of them, put her hand to her mouth as a microphone, and said in a monotone voice, "Ah—there's a pervert here."

"Shut up, you lazy bum!" Gray and Natsu rushed over angrily, one on each side, wrapping their arms around Yefrit's neck and pinning him down.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Yefrit quickly apologized.

"That's it, that voice!" Natsu suddenly jumped up, remembering his original purpose, and immediately turned around and ran over in a hurry.

“Natsu, wait—” Gray called out.

“Don’t rush, we’re heading to the same destination,” Yefrit said.

"How are Lucy and the others doing?" Since Yefrit had said so, Gray naturally stopped being anxious and instead inquired about Lucy and the others. In his opinion, Erza certainly didn't need to be worried.

“Yes, we ran into a little trouble. They were also affected by the magic, but that guy has been taken care of, so it’s all right now,” Yevli nodded.

“Then let’s go,” Gray said.

the other side.

Yefrit said, "Grey and I are on our way."

Upon hearing this, Erza and the others immediately realized that Yefrit standing next to Minerva was not a real person, and their initial sense of relaxation turned into caution.

Kominebah didn't know what Yefrit meant; she had no such tacit understanding.

“Alright, Minerva, you’re under arrest,” Erza said.

After all, Minerva was once a member of Sabertooth, something must have happened to her to turn her into a dark mage.

It's only been a short time; Minerva probably hasn't had a chance to make a serious mistake—and even if she did, she should be judged by the Magic Council.

Minerva was unwilling to be arrested, so she suddenly attacked Freya, the weakest of the group. This attack was blocked by Lucy and Wendy, and then she turned and ran.

Erza was about to give chase when Yefrit waved her hand, signaling her not to.

"Why?" Erza asked, puzzled.

Yefrit, seeing that Minerva had already disappeared, explained, "Let's assume that what Minerva said is true. Then the Eye of the Nightmare is indeed not the guild she wanted to join, but just a stepping stone for her. So—the dark guild behind the Eye of the Nightmare, since Minerva has taken a liking to it, must be at least stronger than the original Sabertooth, and might even be able to fight against us."

“You mean…” Erza understood.

“Let her run away.” Yefrit smiled and pushed up her glasses. “That’s her greatest value.”

“Yefrit—” Erza said, “Ensure Minerva’s safety.”

Yefrit smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Fairy Queen."

"Ugh—" Erza blushed suddenly.

Your Highness or something

"Erza!"

Gray ran over, and Yefried beside him slowly dissipated.

At this moment, the real and the fake bodies switched places.

"Were the enemies driven away?" Gray ran over and saw signs of fighting, but no enemies, so he asked.

“It’s Minerva, I don’t know what that guy is up to,” Erza said.

“Her?” Gray said. “I’m not surprised.”

Gray looked at Freya and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the one with the raven's tail?"

"Black hair." Freya hid behind Lucy.

"By the way, Freya, why are you here?" Erza asked, puzzled.

“My home is here,” Freya said shyly.

"You're a villager here?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Do you know what happened?" Wendy asked quickly.

"I don't know, everyone was fine when I left," Freya said, and then she started to cry.

Anyone would feel distressed if they left home to find their family members frozen solid and their fate unknown.

"Don't worry, Freya." Lucy turned around and hugged Freya to comfort her, "We have Gray, an expert in ice, Natsu, a fire dragon slayer mage, and Yefrit, who is quite knowledgeable in alchemy. Everyone in the village is still alive. They will definitely be able to find a way to save everyone."

"Thank you." Freya nodded, tears streaming down her face.

“Let’s go find the Eternal Flame. It’s strange, I’ve searched the whole village and haven’t found it,” Erza said.

“The Eternal Flame is over there,” Freya said, pointing to the distant mountains.
