Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Upon seeing this, the 'King of the Northern Beasts' pupils trembled violently, and he thought to himself, 'This is bad,' but it was too late to escape.

"Super FOAB!!"

The moment the 'King of the North' approached him, Igor's arm had already transformed into a missile-like posture.

This is his upgraded version of the 'Father of Bombs' after his magical breakthrough, with a yield of hundreds of tons of TNT, close to a thousand tons, comparable to a miniature tactical nuclear weapon.

"Boom!!"

The next second, scorching flames shot into the sky, and a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high exploded on the ground. The forests within a radius of several kilometers were uprooted by the blast wave released by the explosives.

As for the 'Northern Beast King', which is known for its speed rather than its defense, after taking Ig's attack head-on, it was sent flying backward, its eyes rolled back, and it passed out on the spot.

"Whoo~"

After defeating the 'King of the North', Igor breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally defeated the guy.

However, this was also due to the fact that the 'Northern Beast King' was driven to the brink by the 'Spear Demon' and was also careless on its own.

If the 'Northern Beast King' doesn't charge at Igor, Igor's 'Father of Super Bombs' will have no chance of hitting him...

Even if Igor detonates the 'Father of Super Bombs', the 'King of the North' could escape the effective kill range of the 'Father of Super Bombs' before it explodes, given its speed.

Several days later.

"Waaaaah~"

The 'King of the North' slowly opened his eyes from his unconsciousness. To his surprise, he found that his entire body was wrapped in bandages.

"you're awake?"

"The surgery was a success."

After watching the 'King of the North' awaken, Igor walked up to him and said with a smile.

"Roar?"

The 'King of the Northern Beasts' expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously checked whether his beloved pet was safe and sound. After finding that his second brother was still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, during the days when Igor was beaten the worst by him, he had roared and sworn a poisonous oath to him, saying that once Igor's strength surpassed his, he would definitely castrate that bastard.

"Alright, now that you're alright, I'm relieved."

Seeing that the 'King of the North' was completely unharmed, Igor breathed a slight sigh of relief. He stood up from the ground and said with a smile, "In that case, let's meet again someday, Little North."

Well, the 'Northern Beast King' challenge is now completely over. Next up are the 'Eastern, Southern, and Western Beast Kings'.

"Roar! Roar!"

The 'King of the North' watched Ig's departing figure, letting out a series of roars, as if bidding farewell to Ig, or perhaps warning Ig not to bother him again.

On the other side.

After the defeat of the 'Northern Beast King', he learned everything from the birds in the forest at the camp in Ulfheim, and said with a smile, "It seems that Ig's talent is even stronger than I imagined! If that's the case, it won't be long before they are fully trained."

Chapter 35 Igor's Summoned Pet, Rese! Mirajane: Igor, who is the woman beside you?

"Yo."

"Igor, you're back?"

"Now that you've returned, that means you've defeated the 'Northern Beast King,' right?"

Ulfheim greeted Igor as he returned to the camp.

"Yes, I haven't let the teacher down."

“I have successfully defeated that guy, ‘The Beast King of the North’.”

Igor nodded and answered Ulfheim's question truthfully.

Then, Igor turned to look at the three Mirajane sisters.

"Four hundred and eighty-eight, four hundred and eighty-nine, four hundred and ninety..."

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna are still training.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Elfman was practicing his punches in front of the sandbag, pounding it with loud 'thump, thump' sounds.

"Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty..."

Lisana was trying hard to do squats, but perhaps because she was too young, she was having a hard time doing them.

As for Mirajane, she was wearing sweat-proof gym clothes and was doing one-handed push-ups without anyone noticing.

Yes, under Ulfheim's guidance, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisana are doing basic muscle training.

According to Ulfheim, the characteristic of 'animal souls' receiving magic is that it will enhance the user's physical strength.

The higher the user's physical strength before receiving the skill, the greater their strength will be after receiving it.

As for Mirajane's 'Demon Soul' receiving magic, it also has the characteristics of 'Animal Soul' receiving magic, and can also enhance physical strength to a certain extent.

“Igor, you’re back.”

"Igor, it's been a long time."

After Igor stood beside the Strauss sisters and observed for a while, Elfman and Lisanna, who were training, seemed to notice Igor, who had successfully returned to the camp. They immediately stopped their training and greeted Igor.

"Oh, Elfman, Lisanna, it's been a long time. You've both grown so much taller."

Igor chuckled as he looked at Elfman and Lisanna, who had clearly grown taller; their growth was visible to the naked eye.

Yes, it's been several months since we last met, and Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna have all grown noticeably taller.

Elfman, who is only fourteen years old, has already grown to 1.7 meters tall. At this rate, he will probably be over two meters tall when he grows up.

Thirteen-year-old Lisanna is already 1.4 meters tall, but judging from the proportions of her legs, she'll probably grow to over 1.7 meters tall when she's an adult. She definitely has the makings of a model!

Well, I can only say that children's bodies grow very fast.

"Five hundred~"

"Alright, that means each hand has done 500 push-ups. That concludes today's warm-up."

"Next up is the live-fire training..."

Just as Igor was thinking to himself how fast Elfman and Lisanna had grown, Mirajane finally finished her warm-up exercises.

She stood up, washed the mud off her hands with water, and wiped the sweat from her body with a towel. Then she looked at Igor beside her and smiled, "Igor, let's have a showdown!"

"Boom!!"

As Mirajane spoke, she released a vast amount of magical power. In the past few months of training, she had raised both her 'magic' and 'magical barrier' attributes to 'A' level, which can be described as rapid progress.

Especially considering that Mirajane, like Igor, is dual-core driven, in terms of total magic power alone, she is already comparable to most of the 'S-class' magical beasts in the forest.

It's important to know that the 'S-rank' monsters in the Monster Forest are not the same as the substandard 'S-rank' mages in the 'Phantom Lord's Guild.

Those are all genuine 'S-class' combat abilities. If placed in any major mage guild, their difficulty in the missions they undertake would start at 'S-class'.

But compared to someone like Igor, who has already reached the threshold of the 'Ten Saints', he is still far behind.

"Oh my~"

Igor, sensing the considerable magical power within Mirajane, smiled and praised, "As expected of Mirajane, your strength is almost catching up to mine now!"

Stop lying.

Mirajane pursed her lips, looking as if she didn't believe she had caught up with Igor at all.

Although she has been training at a rapid pace under the guidance of the 'king' level master Ulfheim, she believes that she is no weaker than Igor when he first awakened his magic.

But Mirajane knew perfectly well that she wasn't the only one whose strength had improved in the past few months; Igor was also making continuous progress.

In particular, Mirajane always knew clearly in her heart that Igor's talent was no less than hers, so Igor's progress would definitely be greater than hers.

But how much progress has Igor made in all this time? Mirajane didn't know yet, and her heart was filled with curiosity.

However, Mirajane was still very happy to receive Igor's praise here.

"alright, alright!"

"Enough talk, let's fight, Igor!"

Mirajane urged Igor to accept her challenge.

"Um?!"

Igor didn't immediately agree to Mirajane's challenge. Instead, he gently rubbed his chin, adopting a thoughtful posture.

After a brief moment of thought, Igor seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled, "Speaking of which, I've also been planning to try out my new magic."

"New magic?"

Mirajane paused for a moment, looking at Igor with confusion in her eyes.

"Yes."

After Igor nodded slightly, he suddenly raised his hand to the open space beside him and whispered, "Summon, 'Bomb Demon'."

"Om!!"

At Igor's whisper, a girl with short, light purple hair, fair and radiant skin, beautiful features, and captivating emerald eyes appeared before the crowd.

The girl was wearing a white top, black shorts and knee-high socks, and leather shoes, with a faint smile on her face.

Although the girl didn't say a word, she was captivating just by standing there.

"Igor!!!"

The moment Mirajane saw the girl, she bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end, hissing at Ig and pointing at the girl Ig had summoned, roaring, "Who is this girl? Explain yourself right now!"

"She's the 'bomb demon'."

"Igor said helplessly."

Yes, this woman, whose appearance and clothing are almost identical to Rese, is not the real Rese, but a 'bomb demon' who has borrowed Rese's appearance to appear in this world.

Its will and thoughts were all created by Igor using the system when he couldn't sleep at night; it was completely manipulated and controlled by Igor...

So rather than calling her a real person, it's more accurate to describe her as a beautiful humanoid puppet, or perhaps a life-size figure.

Chapter 36 Ulfheim: I feel extremely ashamed for not being able to help Ig grow!

"I understand. So, she's not human, just a beautiful humanoid puppet, right?"

With Igor's constant explanation, Mirajane finally understood what kind of being Rese, who had been summoned by Igor, really was.

However, this does not mean that Mirajane will stop caring about Reese's existence after Igor's explanation.

Mirajane stared coldly at Reese's beautiful face, vigorously cracking her wrists and ankles, making crisp 'crack, crack' sounds, and said seriously, "Since she's a puppet, it doesn't matter if I break her, right?"

"Uh."

"If you can beat them."

Igor, of course, didn't dare say those words aloud; he only muttered them to himself.

"Mirajie is so scary today."

As for Elfman and Lisanna, it was the first time they had ever seen their 'violent' sister Mirajane, and they both trembled as they spoke.

"Receive the 'Soul of Satan'."

After stretching her limbs, Mirajane accepted the 'Soul of Satan' without hesitation. Her long, snow-white hair immediately shot into the sky, her limbs transformed into demonic claws, and jet-black demonic wings sprouted from her back. Her T-shirt turned into a red leather suit, and she exuded the aura of a 'Demon Queen'.

"Leise".

Igor saw the seriousness in Mirajane's eyes and nodded slightly to Rese, who had come at his summons.

"Boom!"

Leisai pulled the zipper around her neck, and her originally beautiful face instantly transformed into a ferocious torpedo head. Her clothes also changed into a long dress made of explosives, and she exuded an extremely powerful aura.

Well, as Ig's summoned creature, Rese is naturally not as strong as Ig, the master, but her 'magic' and 'magic barrier' particles have reached the 'S-' level, which is far beyond what Mirajane can deal with now.

"So strong!"

Mirajane's expression changed immediately after sensing the magical energy fluctuations released by Reese.
