Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

As soon as the children left the church, they rushed towards their parents, burying themselves in their arms and crying loudly.

"Don't cry, child, don't cry!"

"You are the bravest children..."

When the parents of these children saw their sons and daughters successfully walk out of the church, they were overjoyed.

"Miraje, you are a hero."

The village chief, who was elderly and had a long, white beard, patted Mirajane on the shoulder heavily, expressing his approval.

"hehe."

"This is not solely my achievement."

"It's mainly thanks to Igor..."

This was the first time Mirajane had received such affirmation from so many people. She smiled shyly, subconsciously turned around to look behind her, and asked softly, "Right? Igor?"

However, when Mirajane turned around, she saw only an empty room behind her and the church doors as black as an abyss.

"Igor?!"

Mirajane's pupils trembled suddenly, and an ominous premonition seemed to rise in her heart.

“Grandpa Village Chief, have you seen Igor? He was just behind me…”

Mirajane turned to the village chief and asked anxiously.

"Uh."

“I didn’t see Igor. The only people who came out of the church were you and the children…”

The village chief frowned; he seemed to understand something.

"not good."

“Ig hasn’t come out of the church yet; he must be in trouble.”

Mirajane turned around, as if to go back into the church.

"Miraje, wait a moment. Even if you go in now, you won't be of any help to Igor. Why don't you wait here for a while? I've already sent someone to a nearby town to ask a mage for help."

Seeing Mirajane's anxious expression, the village chief immediately stepped forward and stopped him, his eyes full of worry for Mirajane.

"Feel sorry."

"I cannot stand by and watch Igor die."

"If I don't make it out, Lisanna and Elfman will be in your care."

Mirajane turned around, gave the village chief a faint smile, and then rushed into the church without hesitation.

“This child…”

The village chief watched Mirajane plunge into the darkness once again, and sighed helplessly. He only hoped that Mirajane and Igor would be safe and sound.

At the same time.

The interior of the church.

"Jie Jie Jie."

The bat demon, whose head had been split open by Igor's blade, burst into laughter. Its eyes gleamed with a scarlet and venomous light as it coldly stared at Igor, whom it had captured, and mocked, "Was it really worth it to trade your own life for the lives of that girl and those children?"

"Who said I would trade my life for the lives of those children?"

Igor was pinned to the ground by the bat demon, but he showed no sign of panic. He raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the bat demon frowned deeply. It stared at Igor suspiciously, and seeing that Igor indeed had no power to resist, it sneered, "It's nothing but a bluff!"

[...98%, 99%, 100%]

Igor did not answer the bat demon's question; he waited quietly for the energy bar in front of him to gradually fill up.

[Ding dong. 】

[The Demon Contract System has finished loading.]

[Should I summon a demon?!]

The moment the energy bar was full, Igor's cheat was finally loaded.

Yes, as a transmigrator, Igor also possesses his own cheat code, which is the Demon Contract System in front of him. It can extract demons from the heavens and forcibly form contracts with the extracted demons to fight together.

This is probably the reward Igor got for staying up all night watching "The Chainsaw Massacre"!

"Draw it immediately!"

Without hesitation, Igor chose the Demon Extraction option.

[Demon extraction in progress...]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! The demon you've drawn is... the Bomb Demon!]

[Should we proceed with the contract...?]

"Receive immediately!!"

Without any hesitation, Igor chose to accept the bomb demon.

"Om!!"

In almost an instant, Igor's body changed; his head transformed into a torpedo, and his body was covered in a battle robe made of explosives.

"Uh."

Upon witnessing the changes in Igor's body, the bat demon's pupils dilated sharply, a look of disbelief flashing in its eyes. Staring at the 'magic particles' converging towards Igor, it exclaimed in shock, "You...you're not human! You're...a demon?!"

"I'm waiting to be fully charged, what are you waiting for?"

Igor did not answer the bat demon's question. In an instant, he stood up, grabbed the other's neck with one hand, looked directly into the other's eyes, and tilted his head to ask.

"I……"

The bat demon was terrified and asked in a panic, "Is it still possible to reconcile now?"

"Are you kidding me?"

As he said this, Igor did not hesitate at all and immediately activated his ability.

"Boom!!"

Amidst blinding flames and deafening explosions, the bat demon and half the church were blasted into the sky.

Chapter 3 Mirajane's First Awakening of Magic!

"Uh."

Mirajane rushed into the church and was immediately startled by a deafening roar. Panic flashed across her face as she ignored the shockwave from the explosion and charged deeper into the church once more.

As Mirajane rushed into the depths of the church, she was met with a bizarre figure wearing a battle robe made of explosives and with a head made of strange torpedoes.

The strange man stood amidst the ruins, clutching the bat demon's mangled body in his hand.

"You are……"

Mirajane stared at the strange-looking man before her, her thin lips twitching slightly. Her sixth sense told her that this incredibly peculiar-looking man was none other than Igor, who had saved her life.

"Om."

Igor removed the torpedo 'mask' from his face, revealing his original features, and smiled at Mirajane, saying, "It's me, Mirajane."

"It really is you, Igor."

Mirajane breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the strange man in front of her was Igor. She quickly walked up to Igor and punched him in the stomach.

"puff……"

Igor felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, his vision blurred, and he became somewhat disoriented. If he hadn't been able to feel his heartbeat, he might have mistakenly thought he was about to travel through time again.

"You scared me to death! If you dare to play the hero again, I will never let you get away with it."

Mirajane buried her head in Igor's chest for a moment, then quickly left.

She silently wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes due to worry, then patted Igor's shoulder with a smile, appearing carefree, nonchalant, and strong-willed.

Then, Mirajane seemed to notice something interesting. She casually removed the explosives from Igor's battle robe and teased, "Your outfit is pretty peculiar! What's this? What a unique decoration!"

"Uh."

"This is not a decoration."

Igor panicked and snatched the explosives from Mirajane's hand with lightning speed, shaking his head in a fluster.

"Tch, stingy."

Mirajane pursed her lips; at this moment, she had no idea how powerful the explosives in Igor's hands were.

"I'm not stingy."

As he said this, Igor threw the explosives into the sky.

"Boom!!"

About five seconds later, a mushroom cloud with a radius of ten meters immediately rose into the air.

"Uh."

Mirajane looked at the mushroom cloud in the sky and smelled the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and then she realized that Igor was not joking with her.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

After confirming that the explosives on Igor were not decorations, Mirajane subconsciously swallowed and dared not touch Igor again.

"so beautiful."

Mirajane noticed the faint white light floating in the air, which made her look curious and instinctively reach out to touch it.

"Wait a moment, Mirajane."

Igor noticed the demon soul and reached out to touch Mirajane. He instinctively tried to stop her, but it was too late. By the time Igor spoke, Mirajane's fingers had already touched her.

"Boom!!"

A terrifying surge of magical power erupted from Mirajane's body, instantly absorbing all the remaining power of the bat demon's soul.

In an instant, Mirajane's right hand became incredibly ferocious, transforming into a demon's claw.

"This is..."

Mirajane stared at her nauseating right arm, her sapphire blue eyes trembling, a growing unease settling in her heart.

"Congratulations, Mirajane."

When Igor discovered that Mirajane had successfully received the demon soul, his expression immediately changed. He realized that he had underestimated Mirajane's talent. Mirajane's talent in receiving magic from demons was too high. Even a fragmented demon soul could still be received by him.

After a brief silence, Igor suddenly chuckled and patted Mirajane on the shoulder, pointing to Mirajane's menacing right hand, and laughed, "Not bad, you've awakened magic too?! I thought I was the only one who was special..."

"magic?"

"special?!"

Mirajane, who was still feeling uneasy because of the grotesque appearance of her right arm, suddenly brightened up when she learned from Igor that the demonization of her right arm was due to the awakening of magic.

Especially after Mirajane learned that only special, chosen people could awaken magic, she confidently curled the corners of her mouth, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly, "Hmph! If even you can do it, how could I not?"

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

"As expected of Mirajane!"

Igor clapped continuously, offering his blessings to Mirajane.

"However, although Mirajane has successfully awakened magic, we still seem to have some trouble controlling it~"

"So why don't we sneak home through the back door?!"

"If the villagers find us like this, I'm afraid some bad rumors will start circulating in the village again."

As Ig said this, he transformed his head into the shape of a torpedo.
