Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

My body, which was raging with rage, began to flicker.

“No.” Wendy shook her head. “My magic has reached its limit.”

"Guardian Angel!" Freya cried out in grief.

"Child, don't cry," Kuangyan said gently. "There are still people with you."

"companion--"

"besides--"

"family!"

Kuang Yan raised his head, summoning his last vestige of arrogance.

"I am the Hellfire Dragon, the founder and guardian of this village!"

"The village's misfortune is my pain."

He looked at Natsu and said, "Son of Ignir, I entrust the embers of my soul to you. Please use the flames passed down from Ignir to save this village!"

“No problem!” Natsu nodded.

The raging flames erupted, and Natsu also unleashed his own.

The man and the dragon formed two fiery mountains.

Under Gray's protection, the group retreated one after another.

"The Last Memory—"

Mad Flame declared, "The Book of Zeref—the most vicious and ultimate demon—END!"

"That will be your enemy!"

"Four hundred years ago, Igniel failed to destroy him."

"You better be careful!"

Chapter 273, The Gates of the Underworld: A Dazzling Display

"Om-"

The raging fire energy thawed the ice that had frozen the entire village.

But Kuangyan's body was also dissipating.

"Natsu—"

Finally, Kuangyan said, "No matter what happens in the future, we must rely on our comrades, trust in our comrades, and keep going."

"I know, Uncle!" Natsu replied with a smile, not wanting the other person to discover his sadness.

A gust of wind blew by.

The Eternal Flame flashed briefly, and when everyone looked again, the raging flames had completely vanished.

"us."

"what happens?"

The village has thawed, and the giants in the village have all awakened.

"Um—we're not enemies!" Lucy quickly waved her hand to explain.

"Freya?" The giants looked at Freya in surprise.

Freya was a little worried because she had left the village without permission, and she was afraid that everyone would be angry.

"Welcome home!" the giants laughed.

Freya was stunned.

Looking at Freya, Lucy was reminded of herself. The first time she ran away from home, her father even paid a ghost to kidnap her and bring her back.

Even now, she still gets angry when she thinks about that behavior.

but--

Lucy knew that her father's love for his daughter must include tolerance.

So Lucy pulled Freya out from behind her and said, "It's okay, Freya, everyone is welcoming you."

Freya said guiltily, "Everyone... I'm back."

"We're all relieved to see you back safely," the giants laughed.

One of them asked curiously, "Is the outside world interesting?"

Freya thought for a moment and shook her head: "I encountered some interesting things, some interesting people, and an interesting guild, but before that, I suffered a lot."

"Hahaha—" the giants laughed and said, "Life is like this, sorrow and happiness always go hand in hand, and everyone experiences the bittersweetness of life."

“Overall,” Freya said, “I’m very happy now.”

"Hahaha—" the giants laughed, "As long as you're happy."

One of the giants said, "Then—"

Then, all the giants shouted in unison, "Welcome home, our daughter!"

"I'm back!" Freya cried.

Next, a banquet was held in the village.

They also exchanged information.

There isn't much useful information in the village.

Because they were instantly killed, frozen in place, their intelligence was far less than that of Fairy Tail.

Minerva walked through the dark, damp passage, her face contorted with resentment.

If it weren't for Yefrit, she would have already killed Erza and the others.

Actually, there was another person beside her, but Kemineva didn't notice.

Yefried, leaning on his cane, walked beside Minerva, also deep in thought.

He could sense that Minerva possessed another kind of magic—not one she had learned, but something akin to a curse.

Minerva was probably affected by that magic.

Interesting—it's actually the magic of emotions too.

Although he could crack it, he isn't doing so now.

He only promised Erza that he would guarantee Minerva's safety; he would observe the situation first and decide on other matters later.

while walking.

Minerva noticed signs of a fight and frowned slightly.

As she walked further, she discovered: collapsed walls, broken chairs, and paper cutouts scattered all over the ground.

Minerva was somewhat flustered.

She could tell that the Eye of the Nightmare had been attacked.

Are the enemies still around?

She was prepared to fight or flee.

"Slow response." A seductive female voice rang out.

A female demon emerged from the darkness.

She has a great figure, even a very sexy one.

A bead of sweat trickled down Minerva's forehead as she asked, "You did all this?"

“That’s right,” the female demon said. “My magic can strengthen people, but unfortunately—these are all weaklings who have no value for strengthening, and that’s how they end up.”

Minerva then realized that the small pieces of paper scattered on the ground were from the original Nightmare Eye mage.

She looked at the demon warily and said, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

The female demon said, "I am Kuang Hua, one of the Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld."

"The Gates of the Underworld!" Minerva exclaimed in surprise.

She did consider entering the gates of the underworld, but definitely not the option of being captured and punished for failing a mission!

Minerva wanted to run away, so she needed to create an opportunity. She decided to use information about Fairy Tail in exchange for this opportunity.

"The failure of this mission was not because we didn't try hard enough."

"The Fairy Tail mage who's going to that village!"

"Fairy Queen Erza, Fire Dragon Slayer Natsu, Ice-Type Mage Gray who defeated the former strongest Shapeshifter Rufus, Lucy, the only Celestial Spirit Mage currently, Wendy, Sky Dragon Slayer, and even—"

"The creator of super magic, the master of the saint Emily, and the user of the world's strongest deception magic—Yeflit!"

"With a lineup like that, no one can guarantee that they can complete the mission!"

"What are you saying?" Kuang Hua tilted his head slightly.

Minerva was taken aback.

"What does that have to do with me?" Kuang Hua said. "A large-scale operation will be launched soon. I'm here to gather soldiers."

“But you killed those people,” Minerva said.

“Because they are too weak,” Kuanghua said. “So I strengthened them, but they are still worthless.”

“And what about you—” Kuang Hua laughed, “Minerva, I have high hopes for you.”

Minerva was startled, knowing she couldn't wait any longer, and abruptly prepared to unleash her magic.

But Kuanghua was even faster than her, rushing forward in an instant and taking down Minerva.
