Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

“The Gates of the Underworld.” Volod fell into deep thought for a while before saying, “It’s a mysterious dark guild.”

"Over the years, their location, number of people, and even what they did have remained unknown. All the outside world knows is that they are a powerful and mysterious group, nothing more."

"I do know more, but it's only the tip of the iceberg."

"Several mages happened to witness their gathering from afar, and after speaking with them, I came to similar conclusions—"

"They are worshipping the devil."

"Not the kind of natural demons we see every day, that we can contract with, and that pose little threat."

"It's a demon created by Zeref!"

"We, the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, speculate—"

"They should possess the ability to control the original sin demons in the Book of Zeref."

Herames gathered the magic of nature and gave it intelligence. The demons she created were called primordial demons, also known as original demons, nature demons, or nature gods—all of these demons have been buried by Yefrit.

As for Anza and Tomon, they all based their work on Herames's research and turned themselves into demons. However, they ultimately lacked Herames's talent and could not fully enter the ultimate realm. At most, they could be considered half-ultimate.

The demons created by Yefrit are demons with real flesh, created according to the biology of this era. However, because these demons are essentially people who do not look like humans, or rather—descendants—they are generally not very aggressive. Therefore, in order to distinguish them from Zeref's demons, the world now classifies them as natural demons or contract demons. These demons are very popular in the magic world. They are not strong in themselves, but they have the power to contract with others, become magical devices, and stimulate human magic. They are now highly favored by mages.

The demons created by Zeref are typically extremely aggressive and highly emotional, like walking natural disasters. Since their birth, people have associated them with disgust and hatred. Thus, these demons are called "original sin demons," their very existence being an indelible sin.

and so--

If it comes to controlling the power of natural demons, no one will care.

Some of the smart people in the guild had even guessed that the Natural Demon was something Yefrit had created.

But the original sin demon

This only makes people think of things like Deliora and Lalabai.

They are all enormous in size and extremely dangerous to humans; whenever they appear, they are sure to kill people and destroy cities.

Erza said with a gloomy face, "So, the ultimate demon END, which even dragons fear, might be—under their control."

Gray said, "In the previous battle, we were all cursed by magic and shrunk. The one who used the magic was a demon."

"Lalabai possesses the power to curse all who hear its flute."

“Deliora is an undead demon. My master used Absolute Ice with his life to seal it away.”

"And the demon in Sun Village, belonging to the Eye of the Nightmare, also possesses the power to secretly turn people into children."

"visible--"

Gray's tone was grave: "Unlike the weak natural demons, the original sin demons possess extremely powerful magic, even magic that touches upon the very rules of the universe—"

"At least—"

"Superior-level magic!"

Everyone's hearts tightened.

With Gray's analysis, the Gates of Hades became truly terrifying.

Touching upon the rules of magic, at least super-high level magic. If there are many such guys, then it is indeed a very terrifying guild.

The demon from Sun Village wasn't particularly strong in combat, and it wouldn't have been difficult for anyone present to defeat him head-on. However, his bizarre curse magic nearly caused everyone to lose—according to Gray, even Yefrit was affected, making it a forced curse within a certain range.

Such a demon does not belong to the Gates of Hell, but is merely its subordinate organization—the Eye of the Nightmare.

What kind of terrifying magic does the demon at the gates of the underworld wield?

In this world, the level of magic does not determine everything. Even weak magic can defeat a weak person wielding powerful magic in the hands of a strong person.

The most classic example is Ikaruga. As a pure mage, she is incredibly weak, but weak magic does not mean weak strength. She is also a standard S-class strength - of course, not the S-class of Fairy Tail guild. The current S-class of Fairy Tail guild is at least at the guild master level, with the upper limit being the fifth of the Ten Wizard Saints, because Laxus defeated Jura.

However—the higher the level of magic, the more terrifying it is, especially in the hands of a powerful being.

Currently, the magic of Fairy Tail members, including powerful characters like Gray and Juvia, is only at an average level.

The president's gigantification is only at the higher level, which is considered slightly stronger than ordinary magic.

Gildarts's shattering is of the super-high level.

The super magic above that is the three great fairy magics, all of which touch upon the rules of the universe.

Yefrit's deception magic is now recognized as super magic, and its abnormality has become known worldwide over time—indiscriminate control of the five senses and the ability to kill at the last second. This level of power is different from ordinary magic and is far beyond the norm.

In addition, there are super magic such as Star Chart History - Dimensional Strike, Soul - Time-Space Teleportation, Nirvana - Transformation of Good and Evil.

As for Dragon Slayer Magic, because of its ability to replenish mana during combat, it is currently considered a Superior Magic, but it cannot yet become a Super Magic—it has touched the rules, but has not yet shown a more brilliant performance—Laxus's victory over Jura does not count as demonstrating the destructive power of a Rule-based magic; it is merely that Laxus is stronger.

and so--

The thought that the Gates of the Underworld control many supreme-level magics, and that there are many demons like Deliora, is quite telling.

Even Fairy Tail today is terrifying to think about.

Of course, excluding Yefrit, no one can guess how many trump cards this guy has. It wouldn't be surprising if he had the strength to defeat the Gates of Tartaros all by himself.

“Anyway—” Lucy said, “Yeflit, do you think we can win if we take on the Gates of Tartaros?”

“Sure,” Yefrit nodded easily.

Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

oops--

There's a guaranteed minimum!

Yefrit smiled immediately, looking at Wendy, who had been clenching her fists and looking serious. Now she let out a long breath and loosened her fists, making her look quite cute. So he couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, saying, "Even so, I won't easily interfere in a battle that belongs to everyone."

"Of course." Everyone nodded.

The Dragon King Festival last time really made things difficult for everyone.

Lucy, in particular, had been experiencing battles with Yefrit as a backup ever since she joined the guild. The sudden disappearance of the Dragon King Festival really made her panic.

This time—there shouldn't be any unexpected problems, right?

"The Gates of the Underworld"

"The Book of Jelf."

"At least a superior-level spell"

After returning to the guild, everyone informed Makarov of the information.

Makarov couldn't help but become serious.

"I've always heard about the Book of Zeref, but what exactly is it?" Rili asked curiously.

After all, he wasn't born on Eslandon's side, nor was he a book lover.

Levy explained, "Zephyr, the most evil dark mage in history, created many powerful demons such as Deliora and Lala Bay, and wrote down the methods to summon them in a book. Each demon corresponds to a book, and it is said that as long as you find Zephyr's Book, you can revive the demon in the book."

Yefrit said, "Simply put, it's the experimental log of each demon."

Once he said that, everyone understood.

After all, Yefried also conducted demon research, and he also possessed the "Book of Yefried".

Levy continued, "Then—the demon named END must be the strongest demon under Zeref's command, since Zeref calls it 'the final one'."

Ultimately, it must be something that satisfies Jelf to the point that he feels there's no need to study it anymore.

“Perhaps—he possesses power close to Zeref’s,” Gray said.

“How does it compare to Anza?” Lucy asked.

Ansa left a deep impression on everyone.

The fact that it could dislocate Yefrit's arm demonstrates its strength.

No one answered her, so everyone turned to the expert—Yeffrit.

Yefrit said, "It's definitely stronger than Anza. Anza doesn't have power in terms of rules; it's just physically strong. I don't believe Zeref would stop researching demons just to the point of physical strength."

Now, everyone is a little worried again.

I feel like I haven't had a peaceful day in recent years.

Natsu then said, "My father, Igneel, once tried to destroy END, but he failed."

“This means that END is at least stronger than a dragon,” Gray said.

When the Dragon King Festival was recalled, it was a painful memory for everyone.

'boom'

Just then, the guild door was suddenly pushed open.

Dorell and Sarusuk from the Lane Engine Squad rushed into the guild in a panic, clutching newspapers tightly in their hands.

"Something terrible has happened! Breaking news!"

They shouted.

"Calm down, what happened?" Laxus said with a stern face.

"The Magic Council has been attacked!" Dorell shouted.

"What?!" everyone was shocked.

"It is rumored—"

"They're from the Gates of Hell!"

The second piece of news was even more shocking.

Attacking the Magic Council established by the Light Magic World, the Dark Magic World's strongest guild at present, the Gates of the Underworld, can be seen as a declaration of war by the Dark Magic World against the Light Magic World!

"Perfect timing." While everyone was watching the news and discussing it enthusiastically, Yefrit also received news from Aza.

“I’ll go check.” Yefrit left behind a fake body and then departed.

A huge and majestic castle.

One by one, powerful mages, leading a large army, entered the castle.

An ordinary soldier, wearing a helmet, his eyes hidden behind goggles.

He did not notice anything unusual about his goggles.
