Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Mirajane cursed under her breath, brandishing her fists that had transformed into demonic claws, and punched Gildarts. As she swung her fists, she growled, "Demon's Iron Fist!!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Gildarts remained standing in place, easily blocking all of Mirajane's attacks with just one hand. Taking advantage of Mirajane's momentary lapse in attention, he grabbed her ankle and forcefully threw her into the air.

"Buzz!"

Mirajane had only recently mastered the magic of receiving demon souls, and in a moment of carelessness, she broke free of the demon soul's reception mid-air, reverting to her normal form.

Fortunately, Igor reacted quickly and caught Mirajane just before she hit the ground, gently holding her in his arms and placing her unharmed beside him.

Otherwise, Mirajane, being a mortal descending from the sky, would likely have suffered considerable injuries.

"Thank you, Igor."

Mirajane thanked Igor, then looked at Gildarts, who was sitting calmly not far away, seemingly playing with a child rather than fighting. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, Gildarts hasn't moved an inch since the start of the battle."

"Really."

Mirajane's reminder made Elfman and Lisanna realize that Gildarts, simply by standing still, was enough to defeat their seemingly invincible sister, Mirajane.

"Alright, now it's your turn."

After easily defeating Mirajane with a wave of his hand, Gildarts beckoned to Igor, who had come to her rescue, signaling him to hurry up and attack. He was in a hurry.

"Mirajae, take Elfman and Lisanna and get out of here."

Igor did not rush forward, but turned to Mirajane beside him and whispered instructions.

"Ah."

Mirajane seemed to understand something. She nodded vigorously, brandished her fist, and shouted, "Igor, teach this unruly orange-haired brat a lesson!"

"For my sake, use the Bomb Punch on him!"

"Uh."

Upon hearing this, Igor's eye twitched slightly.

Will they win?

We'll lose!

That's Gildarts, you can't win even if you fight with all your might.

However, Igor still smiled at Mirajane and said, "Anyway, I will do my best."

"Ah."

Mirajane nodded slightly.

Since Igor said so, then it must be possible to do it.

Although Mirajane didn't know how Igor would win against a stronger opponent, she believed in him unconditionally.

"Elfman, Lisanna, let's hide quickly."

So Mirajane, along with Elfman and Lisanna, who were still planning to continue watching the show, quickly ran away to hide in the distance and began to seek refuge.

"Suck!"

After confirming that the three Mirajane sisters were all hiding, Igor took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance towards Gildarts, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into the 'Bomb Demon' pose.

"Oh?"

Gildarts, who had been standing casually in place with his eyes half-closed, looking bored and killing time, suddenly saw Igor transform into a 'demon' with a torpedo-like head and explosives wrapped around his body. His pupils trembled, and he laughed, "The game seems to be getting interesting."

"Boom!!"

After transforming into the 'demon', Igor moved like a cheetah spotting an antelope on the African savanna, like a black lightning bolt, directly charging in front of Gildarts. His fist turned into explosives and slammed into Gildarts' face.

"So fast!"

Not far away, Mirajane, who was taking refuge in the woods, looked at Igor, whose speed was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and exclaimed in shock: "Did Igor really hold back when he was fighting me?"

"It's powerful, but too slow."

Compared to the shocked Mirajane, Gildarts displayed the composure of the continent's strongest mage. He still blocked Igor's attack with one hand and quietly assessed the power of Igor's punch.

Even Gildarts himself didn't seem to realize that his mindset had gradually shifted from casually playing with the children to that of an 'S-Class Mage' examiner.

Yes, Gildarts acknowledged Ig's strength, recognizing him as a candidate capable of participating in the Fairy Tail guild's S-class mage exam.

"It will explode."

Igor smiled, and his fist, which Gildarts held in one hand, suddenly shone with a brilliant light, with intense flames and heat brewing within it.

"Boom!"

The next second, accompanied by a deafening roar, flames powerful enough to blast the church, which covered thousands of square meters, engulfed Gildarts and blasted away the trees behind him.

"Crush!"

For the first time, Gildarts used the magic he knew, and the raging flames were immediately shattered into tiny flames in Gildarts' hands.

"As expected of the highest-level destructive magic, Shatter, its power is truly domineering."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Igor did a backflip, creating distance between himself and Gildarts, while loudly praising Gildarts' unparalleled destructive power in shattering magic.

"Haha."

“Igor, if we’re just talking about destructive power, you’ve already surpassed many ‘S-class’ mages in the Mage Guilds.”

"If this is the Fairy Tail guild's S-Class Mage Exam, I might as well pass you~"

Gildarts smiled, also praising Igor's formidable strength.

"Stop fooling around, Igor! Fight with all your might!"

Not far away, Mirajane seemed to have grown tired of Igor and Gildarts's mutual flattery. She genuinely wanted to see Igor and Gildarts's true strength, so she waved her little fists repeatedly and urged them on loudly.

"Even if you say that, Mirajane, I still can't let go of my inhibitions."

Igor sighed slightly. The bomb demon was still too powerful in terms of destructive force, and he dared not attack recklessly.

"Hey, Igor~"

"Don't underestimate me, kid!"

"Just as that girl over there said, attack with all your might!"

Gildarts also urged Igor on.

"Sorry, if I were to fight with all my might, I'm afraid half the village would be razed to the ground!"

Igor apologized deeply to Gildarts, fearing that his bomb might threaten the safety of the Mirajane sisters.

Villagers: "So aren't you afraid of being blown up?"

"Don't worry."

Upon hearing Ig's words, Gildarts became even more curious about Ig's strength, and said with a smile, "No matter how powerful your attack is, I will stop it."

"Since you put it that way, then there's nothing I can do."

After receiving Gildarts's assurance, Igor was immediately relieved and threw hundreds of bombs, completely surrounding Gildarts.

"You little trick!"

Gildarts remained standing still, his fingers lightly touching the air, shattering the surrounding atmosphere and even the space itself, and the explosives were reduced to dust that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

After the explosives were pulverized into dust, Igor did not panic. Instead, he smiled slightly and threw a spark at the gunpowder raining down.

"Boom!"

The next second, the huge tongue of fire swallowed Gildarts whole, and the terrifying fire dragon shot straight into the sky, reaching a height of over a hundred meters.

"It's no use!"

Gildarts still relied on his signature move, using the shattering magic to completely destroy the flames that were powerful enough to engulf the building.

"Is this a lie? How could they be completely unharmed?"

Mirajane, who was not far away, had a first understanding of the power of a top-tier mage after seeing that Gildarts could remain unharmed in the face of magic of this level.

"Ok?"

However, after Gildarts shattered the blazing flames, he was shocked to find that Igor, who should have been standing in front of him, had vanished.

"Oh dear, where did you hide? I can't find you!"

Gildarts stood still, scanning his surroundings as if he hadn't found Igor, then suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed, "Just kidding."

"call out!!"

In the sky, Igor, riding on the fiery dragon that had previously attacked Gildarts and risen hundreds of meters high, soared into the azure sky...

At this moment, his lower body had transformed into a dazzling warhead, the most powerful technique he could currently unleash, turning himself into a bomb.

"hehe!"

"Good timing!"

Seeing this, Gildarts narrowed his eyes slightly. As he chuckled, he pressed his palm against the ground, shattering the ground beneath his feet into pieces to act as a buffer and mitigate the power of Ig's all-out attack.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Igor landed on Gildarts' head and whispered, "Explode!"

"Boom!!"

This is the strongest technique that Igor can currently master, and it is called FOAB (Father of Bombs).

With the enhancement of 'magic power' and 'magic barrier particles' within Igor's body, its power is enough to reach the terrifying level of tens of tons of TNT.

This is an attack powerful enough to completely raze a small village to the ground.

However, before the flames could fully spread, Gildarts had already stretched out his hand towards the sky.

In an instant, the ever-spreading flames, along with Igor, covered his entire body with grids of shattering magic.

"Huh?"

Igor stared at the checkered pattern on his body, momentarily stunned.

"Uh."

Gildarts was also taken aback when he saw the lines on Igor's body.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the fireball that was originally enough to destroy the village vanished in a flash, and Gildarts' shattering magic utterly pulverized everything, including the flames and Ig.

Ige 'pawn'.

Just kidding.

"shit."

"I'm taking this a little more seriously."

When Gildarts faced Igor's "Father of the Bombs" attack, he couldn't help but be tempted. Inadvertently, he used too much force and also set Igor within the pulverization range.

In fact, Gildarts was already doing his best to suppress his power. If he had thrown a normal punch, let alone Igor...

Even the entire town, which covers several square kilometers, and all the mountains and streams within a radius of tens of kilometers, would be pulverized into sand and gravel in one blow.

Chapter 10 Preparations before heading to the Fairy Tail guild!

Not far away.

The Mirajane sisters were shocked; the power displayed by both Igor and Gildarts far exceeded their expectations.

Especially the dazzling fire that Igor exploded hundreds of meters in the air. Although the fire flashed and disappeared as if it had never appeared, Mirajane knew clearly that magic of this level was enough to defeat her instantly.

The moment Mirajane saw the flames, she knew immediately that Igor had let the sea go during their battle.

But now is absolutely not the time to consider this matter...

The moment Mirajane saw Igor being 'crushed' by Gildarts, she rushed towards Gildarts like a cat with its fur standing on end. She reached out and tore at Gildarts's cheeks and stubble, shouting angrily, "Gildarts, why did you kill Igor?"

"Igor is dead."

In the woods, Lisanna and Elfman also stared at Gildarts in disbelief.

"Uh, uh, uh..."
