Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

"Girls, I'm here!"

"I wonder which girl will be so lucky as to have a happy romance with me, the strongest mage on the continent, today?"

Then, Gildarts laughed loudly and rushed into the 'hook'.

Yes, Gildarts is always exceptionally reliable in crucial moments, but often messes up in everyday life.

I'll say it again...

In dire straits, please always believe in Gildarts.

In daily life, always be wary of Gildarts.

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the continent of Ishgar... in the largest magical beast forest on the entire continent.

"Boom!!"

With a deafening roar and earth-shattering magic, a giant vine with a diameter of over ten meters tore through the sky, traversing tens of thousands of kilometers before plunging into the Beast Forest.

Under the shocked gazes of countless beast kings in the forest, it directly stormed into the heart of the forest, which these magical beasts considered an absolute forbidden zone. With a deafening roar, it crashed heavily in front of a wooden house, creating a crater more than ten meters in diameter in the ground in front of the house.

"Are you kidding me?"

"We've arrived at our destination so quickly?"

After the vines touched the ground, Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna marveled at how fast the vines moved as they climbed down from the vines and quickly walked to the front of the wooden house.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After gently knocking on the door of the cabin, Igor asked very politely, "Is the great senior Ulfheim home?"

After knocking on the door, Igor quietly stepped aside and waited.

"..."

Unfortunately, about fifteen minutes passed, and no one answered from inside the room.

"Uh."

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna fell silent upon seeing this.

After a moment, Mirajane suddenly asked, "Igor, could it be that Senior Ulfheim went out on some business and isn't home right now?"

"Really?"

Igor's eye twitched slightly. So, without knowing whether Senior Wolfheim was home or not, Senior Warlord sent the four children directly to the most dangerous primeval forest on the continent of Ishgar?

"Senior Warlord, you have way too much faith in our abilities, don't you?"

Igor kept complaining to himself, this was just too unreliable.

"Since the great senior from Ulfheim isn't home, why don't we go back the way we came?"

As Mirajane said this, she looked at the vines beside her.

"Whoosh..."

The instant Mirajane finished speaking, the vines that had brought the stench of blood vanished into the stench, along with a tiny speck of green starlight.

"..."

Mirajane fell silent in response.

"Very well, now we can never go back."

Igor's lips twitched slightly as he said helplessly.

"Perhaps, the elder Ulfheim is nearby."

At this moment, after thinking for a moment, Lisana tilted her head and looked at the blazing inferno.

"That's true."

Igor nodded, echoing Lisanna's words.

In his opinion, the great senior Warlord would not do something so unreliable as to abandon four teenagers in the Beast Forest.

After all, Warlord isn't Gildarts, is he?!

"Achoo!"

Meanwhile, in a city far away in the Kingdom of Fiore, Gildarts, who was picking up girls at a bar, kept sneezing. After wiping his nose, he muttered to himself, "Strange, could it be that some pretty girl is thinking of me again?"

"What a pity, I'm like the free wind, I'll never stay for any woman."

Gildarts shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He admits he's incredibly charming and always appeals to women, and he also admits he can't live without women, but one thing is one thing, and that doesn't mean he'll linger for them.

He, Gildarts, is free.

cough cough.

The heart of the Beast Forest.

“Look, there’s a mountain over there.”

Since arriving in the Monster Forest, Elfman had been silently observing his surroundings. He suddenly noticed a towering mountain not far from the heart of the forest, probably over a thousand meters high, and his eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Ok?"

Igor looked in the direction Elfman pointed, and when he saw the towering mountain in the forest, his pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted, "Everyone be careful! That's not a mountain at all!"

"Boom!"

Just as Igor finished speaking, the towering mountain suddenly moved, revealing a living creature.

"take over……"

The next second, Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna completed the reception in an instant.

Chapter 26 A visit to Ulfheim, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar!

"...The soul of Satan!"

"...The Soul of the Bomb Demon!"

"...The Soul of the Giant Bear!"

"...The Soul of a Flying Bird!"

With four different colored magic circles flashing in front of the wooden house deep in the forest, Igor, Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna immediately completed the 'soul' reception.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them transformed into demons who were half-human and half-demon, and beastmen who were half-human and half-beast.

"Oh!"

After the four received their 'souls,' Mirajane didn't hesitate for a moment. She flapped her demonic wings powerfully, and with a deafening sonic boom, she soared into the sky, instantly arriving before the mountain-like behemoth. She crossed her arms, releasing a magic circle, and shouted, "Super Cruel Flash!!"

"Boom!"

A roaring stream of magical energy was released from the magic circle in front of Mirajane, and the dark elements surged toward the giant beast like a torrent.

"Oh!"

However, it was no use!

The colossal beast, towering like a mountain, showed no sign of panic when facing Mirajane's attack. It stood motionless, forcefully withstanding Mirajane's devastating lightning strike with its own body. After the beast withstood Mirajane's attack, a hint of human-like mockery flickered in its enormous, chimney-like eyes.

"Ok?"

Ig, standing at the foot of the mountain, had sharp eyes and clearly captured the beast's rich facial expressions. He raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he understood something.

So, after a brief moment of thought, Igor moved closer to Elfman and Lisanna and laughed, "Elfman, go around behind that beast and bite its tail with all your might! Lisanna, fly up into the sky and throw feathers into the beast's nostrils..."

"As ordered."

At Igor's command, the bewildered Elfman and Lisanna immediately took action.

Having received the 'Soul of the Bird', Lisana flew straight into the sky.

Having received the 'Brow Bear Soul', Elfman quickly circled behind the giant beast.

"Lisanna, how did you get here?"

In the sky, when Mirajane saw her younger sister Lisanna break through the clouds and arrive beside her, her expression immediately changed. She frowned and scolded, "This is not a battle you can get involved in! Go back to Igor..."

“Sister Mira, it was Brother Igor who sent me to help you.”

Lisanna spread her snow-white wings and soared through the sky, refuting Mirajane's claims.

"what?"

Mirajane frowned.

She was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to do.

Although she had no idea how Lisanna, with her current weak strength, could possibly help her defeat the behemoth before her...

But since Lisanna was sent by Ig, there must be some reason for it.

Yes, Mirajane believed in Igor from the bottom of her heart.

"Take this, Feather Storm..."

Just as Mirajane was puzzled, Lisana unleashed her most powerful spell, 'Feather Storm,' towards the nostrils of the giant beast before her.

In an instant, countless white feathers transformed into tornadoes, which, blown by the gale released by Lisana, rushed into the beast's nostrils.

"Ok?"

The giant beast, which had been watching Mirajane and Lisana with a mocking smile, suddenly smiled when it realized that Lisana's magic had only created a few feathers. Faced with magic of this level, it didn't even bother to dodge, until all the feathers rushed into its nostrils.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the giant beast, as tall as a mountain, changed its expression; the itching in its nasal cavity made it involuntarily want to sneeze.

"what……"

"...Tch~~"

Before Mirajane and Lisanna could think any further, the giant beast took a deep breath of cool air and then began to sneeze incessantly.

Its sneezing sound was as loud as thunder in the sky, echoing throughout the entire forest.

"Achoo~ Achoo~ Achoo~"

Just as the giant beast was sneezing incessantly, Elfman had already circled behind it. He found the beast's tail, opened his blood-red maw, and put on the false teeth that Ig had given him, and bit down hard.

"Snap!!"

The dentures that Igor gave to Elfman were made from the discarded blades that the Igor Crusher Demon had replaced. Although they were somewhat dull for Igor himself, they still retained the characteristics of the Crusher Demon. Therefore, when Elfman bit hard, blood immediately appeared on the beast's tail.

"Achoo~ Achoo..."

"no?"

"Who, who is biting my butt?!"

The mountain behemoth was driven to frustration by Lisana and Elfman's combined attacks. Although Lisana and Elfman did not inflict much damage on it, their humiliation was extremely intense, to the point that the mountain behemoth was forced to speak human language.

"Huh?"

When the mountain behemoth spoke in human language, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisana were all stunned. They exclaimed in unison, "This magical beast can actually speak human language?"

"hehe."

As for Igor, who was always coming up with crooked ideas, he looked at the giant beast that had finally spoken human language and was no longer going to pretend, and laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Lord Ulfheim, right?"

"Huh?"

Everyone present was stunned after Igor finished speaking.

"Igor, are you saying that this mountain-like behemoth is the reclusive Elder Ulfheim who lives here?"

Mirajane turned to look at the giant beast, her eyes filled with disbelief, and shook her head, saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"real or fake?"

Upon hearing Igor's words, Elfman and Lisanna also stopped their attacks, staring blankly at the towering beast before them, shaking their heads repeatedly.

"Aha?"

"You actually saw through me, kid? I thought I was hiding it very well~"

After realizing that its identity had been directly exposed by Igor, the thousand-meter-tall beast sighed helplessly. As it spoke, a dark golden magic circle lit up beneath it, and its size began to shrink at a visible rate.
