Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"Hmph, you have no idea how powerful I am now." Germain sneered, thinking the two people in front of him were like frogs in a well. Did they really think he was the human Germain who was easily defeated due to carelessness? Now, he was acknowledged by even the leader of the Nine Ghosts Gate as having surpassed the demons of the Nine Ghosts Gate.

Germain said, "I have already stepped into the abyss of magic, just like Hades. You will witness my god-like power!"

He then said with some emotion, "I was really foolish in the past to believe that I could create the strongest guild. But a guild is ultimately made up of a group of people. There will always be strong people and useless people. Those useless people will hold us back and become our weakness. So, there will never be a truly strong guild."

"I understand now—"

"There is no strongest guild, only the strongest individual!"

“Nonsense!” Roger shouted angrily.

“Mr. Yefrit said,” Stinger began, repeating the phrase “Mr. Yefrit said,” and continued, “Individual strength is always illusory and fragile. The strength of a guild is not about all its members being strong, but about being able to care for everyone and make everyone feel at ease.”

"Power comes from love and courage, not from being transformed!"

"Moreover, the Abyss of Magic?"

"A person who has lost love can never truly reach that realm!"

"you--"

"Jerman, a heartless modified being, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"We will prove with our actions how weak and pathetic you are!"

Stinger spoke frankly and confidently.

At first, when he joined Fairy Tail, he had the same mindset as Sabertooth, believing that he had joined Fairy Tail as a strong person, so he must train hard, complete quests diligently, and strive to elevate the guild's status so as to fully demonstrate his value.

But then he discovered that no one ever cared about such things.

Work hard to practice?

Apart from Mr. Yefried, who had never seen cultivation, everyone else was indeed working very hard, but their goals were different from his.

The purpose of diligently cultivating is not to take on more difficult tasks or to make a name for oneself, but to protect one's companions, to protect the guild, and even to protect one's home and family!

Will this elevate the guild's status even further?

No, the members of Fairy Tail rarely think that way. Of course, everyone does feel honor for the guild, but that's always just something that happens incidentally.

Natsu, whom Fairy Tail idolizes, never sought to prove the guild's honor by defeating Erikol, Jellal, Phantom Assassin, Oración Seis, Devil Heart, or Sabertooth.

He was fighting to protect his comrades, and the glory he gained from defeating those guilds was nothing more than a trivial reward after each battle.

Yes, the glory that Sabertooth members all yearn for and risk their lives for is never as important as the safety of their comrades to Fairy Tail.

Swordbite Tiger was completely wrong. In a guild where only the strong survive, the weak are bullied. Apart from being lucky enough to pick up Stinger and a few others, they could not develop at all.

Stinger finally understood why Boa Hancock hadn't bothered to invite Jura and Rio to participate in previous Grand Magic Games when Boa Hancock signed up for the tournament.

Leo has the ability to fight Gray to a draw, even though he always loses to Gray by just one move in every battle. However, Gray only took 27 seconds to defeat Rufus, one of the top five members of their guild. Stinger and Rogue do not believe they can beat Gray in a one-on-one fight.

Leo alone could stop their guild, let alone Jura, who could easily sweep through their guild.

Stinger didn't understand why Boa Suzaku didn't send Jura and Leore to the Grand Magic Games when he was in Sabertooth, but now he understands, because it doesn't matter.

For these guilds, life is full of important things; defeating Sabertooth is a trivial matter. They aren't even qualified to be Jura's opponents, so why would anyone bother to participate in the Grand Magic Games?

A guild that constantly strives for power is never taken seriously or recognized by others.

A guild with a less-than-stellar reputation, which never deliberately pursues glory and power, was able to organize this war of revenge involving five hundred guilds when the Magic Council was destroyed and the entire magic world was leaderless.

What truly constitutes strength?

Stinger and Roger already have their answers.

What Germain said might have once swayed them, but now Stinger and Roger find it utterly laughable.

"As Mr. Yevlit said, what a pitiful and weak person he is."

Stinger and Roger sighed, then launched an attack on Germain.

"You're still a long way from the abyss of magic, Germain!"

‘Boom boom boom’

The two demonic women were frantically attacking each other.

"I never expected that someone who looks so delicate could be so ferocious in battle," Sera exclaimed in amazement.

When they first met, she almost wanted to ask, "Which gentle young lady has wandered into this battlefield?"

But when it really started, Mirajane was even more insane than a demon.

"Isn't the romance of a female mage to deliver punches that land squarely on the skin?" Mirajane said, arms crossed, with a haughty expression.

Normally, she is very gentle, the kind of person who would not be surprised if she tripped or fell while walking. But when she fights, she is extremely arrogant, and her fighting combo makes people suffer.

“You are indeed very strong, I acknowledge you,” Sera said. “However, the difference between our existence is on a dimensional level.”

“I’m tired of hearing this. You demons really have no self-awareness at all,” Mirajane said. “However, choosing me as your opponent is your biggest mistake and your greatest honor.”

"because--"

"My magic is the magic that allows demons to receive power!"

"Full body reception—"

"Demon God Halphas!"

This form is Mirajane's second most powerful form to date, possessing incredible speed and magic power, as well as overwhelming strength.

It once destroyed a city with a single blow!

That was a notorious city of sin for nearly a century, filled with all sorts of dark mages and wanted criminals. Their darkness and sins angered Mirajane, who unleashed a nuclear-level spell that destroyed the city and was subsequently imprisoned for several days.

Makarov sternly warned Mirajane against using this move, just as he had told Laxus not to use the Fairy Law unless necessary, because he feared that every use of it would cause irreversible consequences.

However, Mirajane respected Sera's strength, so she decided to use her second strongest form to fight her.
