Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start.

“If you truly have the strength to defeat this woman, even without His Majesty Igor’s support, you can declare yourself king on the spot and become the next king of the Kingdom of Fiore, and no one in the country will dare to oppose you.”

The white tiger muttered to itself.

Yes, with the White Tiger's strength comparable to the 'S-class' mages of the major mage guilds, she has accurately judged Mirajane's strength to be a monster that is in no way inferior to the 'Ten Holy Mages'.

Meanwhile, White Tiger fell into deep thought. Mirajane had just said that there are currently six active S-class mages in the Fairy Tail guild.

In other words, aside from Igor, who is a member of the "Ten Wizard Saints", and Makarov, the guild master of "Fairy Tail", there are at least five other wizards in the guild with combat power at the "Ten Wizard Saints" level, and each of them is no less than Mirajane.

"The Fairy Tail guild is too strong."

"Even if all the other forces on the continent of Ishgar were united, they still wouldn't be a match for the Magisters' Guild Fairy Tail."

After a brief moment of thought, Baihu had to admit something.

This is the fact that the power of the magic guild 'Fairy Tail' completely surpasses that of the Kingdom of 'Fiore'.

"So, it's a good thing that Princess Emerald and I joined the Fairy Tail guild?"

White Tiger has made a decision. She plans to take some time to return to Crocus, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, and resign from her post as King Thomas of Fiore.

Byakko: "I've made up my mind. I'm not going to be the leader of the Magic Knights anymore! There's a limit to being the leader of the Magic Knights! From today onwards, I'm going to be a mage of the Fairy Tail guild."

Well, following the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," White Tiger, formerly the best female knight of the 'Fiore' Kingdom, officially degenerated into a member of the 'Fairy Tail' guild.

“Igor, you’ve been doing quite well while I was away, haven’t you?”

On the other side, after Mirajane had exchanged some thoughts with Igor about their progress in strength, she suddenly changed the subject and smiled at Igor.

"Aha?"

Igor frowned, not understanding what Mirajane meant.

"hehe."

Mirajane chuckled, looked at Emerald and White Tiger behind him, and said with a smile, "Where exactly did you find these two concubines?"

Chapter 166 Regarding Ig's strength reaching the 'Standard Shield' level! (Part Two)

"Uh."

I don't know what you're talking about?

"By the way, tell me about what you've learned from this trip, Mirajane."

After thinking for a moment, Igor brushed the matter off and changed the subject.

"Ok."

Mirajane smiled faintly and began to vividly recount to Igor her experiences over the past few days, as well as her research and new discoveries about 'curses' after she had fully absorbed the souls of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' members.

"Ah."

Igor nodded in agreement and offered suggestions to Mirajane regarding the development of 'spells'.

As for Emerald and White Tiger, they seemed to have been forgotten by Igor and Mirajane.

Jade: "I was the one who started it..."

Okay, the jadeite was indeed a later addition.

And so.

Time flies.

A month later.

It was late July of X783.

After spending more than a month, Makima finally arrived at the western continent of 'Araquidasia' by ship.

"Is this 'Arakidasia'?"

Machima stood on the shore, gazing into the distance.

Her pair of clear, golden eyes were incredibly deep, like an endless abyss, captivating anyone who looked into them and drawing them into a corridor of desire.

"Kind sir, may I ask how to get to the capital of the 'Alvarez' Empire?"

After determining her direction, Machima did not act rashly on her own. Instead, she approached a caravan that was about to depart and smiled slightly at the caravan leader.

"Uh."

“Well…we happen to be heading to the capital of the ‘Alvares’ Empire as well. If you don’t mind, please come with us.”

The moment the caravan leader made eye contact with Machima, his brain exploded with a 'bang,' as if he had lost consciousness.

"Hehe, that would be perfect."

Machima smiled slightly and nodded gently.

And so.

Another two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was mid-August of X783.

The capital of the 'Alvarez' Empire.

"Your Excellency Machima, this is the capital city."

Before the gates of the imperial capital, a caravan of several hundred people knelt in unison before Machima, offering their loyalty.

The truth is that Machima never used her 'Domination' magic, yet she won these people's loyalty from the bottom of their hearts.

"Then the game begins."

Machima stood with her hands behind her back, her orange-yellow eyes fixed on the magnificent capital of the 'Alvarez' Empire, a faint smile playing on her lips.

For Machima, it was all just a game.

Similarly, the very next second after Machima stood in front of the gates of the capital city of the 'Alvarez' Empire.

On the continent of Ishgar, which faces the Alvarez Empire across the sea.

The Dark Mage Guild, known as the most mysterious Dark Mage Guild on the entire continent, is located in Tartarus, the "Gateway to the Underworld," which houses the bookshelf of the "Dark Mage" Zeref.

Samuel, who had shoved himself into the 'Core of Hell', slowly opened his eyes.

"boom!!"

The moment Samuel opened his eyes, the entire 'Gate of the Underworld' roared, and the sleeping Netherworld Beasts were awakened by the immense power within Samuel.

"Congratulations, Lord Destroyer, on completing your final evolution. You are now undoubtedly the strongest demon below Lord Flame Demon."

As soon as Rami saw Samuel wake up, she immediately knelt down on one knee in front of him and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Samuel simply nodded calmly. Feeling the surging power within him, he smiled slightly and said softly, "Finally, I've entered this realm."

"boom!!"

At the same time, Igor, who was in the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia City of the Kingdom of Fiore, suddenly paused. A large amount of information traveled thousands of miles in an instant and entered his mind.

"I see, I understand now."

After receiving the message completely, Igor nodded slightly, and the aura and power within his body continued to rise, directly increasing from the level of 'weak shield' to 'normal shield'.

“Igor…”

Mirajane, who had been sitting beside Ig, completely monopolizing him with the purpose of discussing 'spells', was the first to sense Ig's change. She noticed the constantly increasing aura within Ig, was first taken aback, and then excitedly exclaimed, "Ig, you've broken through again?"

"Ah."

Igor smiled and said calmly, "Sometimes life is just so wonderful. While we were chatting, inspiration came to me, and then I had an epiphany, and then I broke through."

"Uh."

Mirajane was speechless. If it were the ascetics on the continent of Ishgar, they would probably have committed suicide out of anger after hearing what Ig had just said!

However, Mirajane suddenly smiled after a moment's thought. She glanced at Emerald, who was standing in the corner of the guild, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Ultimately, given Igor's terrifying cultivation speed, the weak don't even have the right to stand beside him.

No matter how unwilling the jade may be, if it cannot enter the 'non-human realm,' it will still return to dust a hundred years later. This is an unchanging rule in this world.

"Cultivation, cultivation."

Once Mirajane understood this, she regained her former confidence.

What she needs to do now is not to surround herself with Igor and compete with those 'seductive vixens' who are attracted by Igor's charm, but to cultivate herself, enter the 'non-human realm' as soon as possible, and evolve to catch up with Igor's pace.

"Oh?"

"It seems Mirajane has come to her senses."

Igor glanced at Mirajane, who was becoming increasingly confident beside him, a smile playing on his lips, and nodded slightly.

at the same time.

Tens of thousands of meters above the continent of Ishgar.

Inside a warship bearing the insignia 'Devil's Heart'.

"boom!!"
