Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Each of them requires a mage of Ur's caliber to risk their life in battle for them to have any hope of victory.

This is the true value of 'Dark Mage' Jelf. In order to revive Natsu, he created practice works that all possess the combat power of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'.

"Oh."

"Oh, everyone's here."

At the very moment when the eight great demons, known as the 'Nine Demon Gates,' gathered inside Tartarus, the 'Gateway to the Underworld'...

A handsome middle-aged man with short, jet-black hair, wearing silver armor with the word 'ZERO' emblazoned on the chest, walked into the guild hall with a smile, addressing the assembled crowd.

"Miss Kyouka, you're becoming more and more beautiful."

"Sera, you are as cute as ever."

"Esserl, I'll challenge you to a duel in a few days."

"Trafalgar, wanna grab a drink somewhere later?"

"Oh, Monk, Jackal, Storm, and Franmars, the four of you are here too?"

The middle-aged man acted as if he were an old friend, greeting all the members of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' present.

"You've come, Silver."

Kuanghua glanced at Yin and then said with a smile.

"Ah."

"After all, it was you who personally issued the summons, how could I not come?"

Yin nodded and asked, "So, Miss Kuanghua, what is the purpose of summoning us here today?"

"First of all, let me correct you, it was not me who summoned you all."

Kuang Hua smiled as he corrected Yin and the others' mistakes.

"what?"

As soon as Kuang Hua finished speaking, a group of people present exchanged glances, and one of them, a man named Yi, muttered in disbelief, "Since it wasn't Kuang Hua who summoned us, then the only one with the authority to summon us, the 'Nine Ghosts Gate,' is that lord."

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

Just as the members of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' were wondering what was going on, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Immediately following was an overwhelming pressure, a level of oppression completely different from that of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' members. It felt as if the newcomer could crush them one by one like insects at any moment.

"Lord Mardo Gil".

As a powerful sense of oppression arose, all the members of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' present raised their heads in unison, looked at the newcomer, and announced his name.

Yes, within this vast 'Gates of the Underworld,' the only person capable of displaying such terrifying power is undoubtedly 'Hades' Mardal Gil, the actual controller of the 'Gates of the Underworld.'

“'Pluto' Maldo Gilles”.

Upon seeing the newcomer, a shadow of gloom crossed Yin's eyes. He muttered to himself, "If I cannot successfully kill Mardo Gil, I will not be able to destroy the 'Gate of the Underworld'."

Yes, although Gin is one of the 'Nine Demon Gates', he is not the great demon in the Book of Jelf. His true identity is the father of Gray Fullbuster, a member of the Fairy Tail guild, who died in the Deliora Rebellion.

As for the opportunity for Silver to join the 'Tether', it all started with the 'Black Priest' Keith.

Keith is skilled in necromancy, and his ability is 'manipulation of the dead'.

Simply put, Keith can manipulate the dead, making them act like the living.

Yes, those 'resurrected' by Keith are no different from the living; they can drink water, eat, sleep, and even cultivate themselves.

Keith resurrected Silver precisely because he recognized Silver's formidable magical talent.

Silver lived up to expectations, raising his magic power to the 'Ten Saints' level in just a few years, thus completely replacing Deliora, who should have become a member of the 'Nine Demon Gates', and becoming one of the 'Nine Demon Gates'.

As for Gin's alias in 'Terror Gate', it is naturally Deliora.

And all of this was done with the tacit approval of 'Hades' Mardo Gil.

Just as Yin was staring intently at 'Hades' Mardo Gil, measuring the gap between himself and Mardo Gil, a middle-aged man with short black hair and wearing a trench coat slowly walked out from behind Mardo Gil.

"Uh?!"

The moment Yin noticed the black-haired middle-aged man who stepped out from behind Mardo Gil, his expression changed instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "So strong!"

"This person's strength is definitely no weaker than 'Hades' Mardo Gil, and he is a top-level demon far surpassing the 'Nine Ghost Gates'."

Yin was in a state of panic.

"Who is he?!"

As for the other members of the 'Nine Ghosts Gate', they naturally noticed the presence of this mysterious middle-aged man. Their expressions changed drastically, revealing disbelief, and they whispered, "Are you kidding me? How could there be a demon in this world who can rival Lord Mardo Gil?"

"That's incredibly powerful!"

"Just looking into their eyes makes us feel pressured!"

After a brief exchange of glances with the black-haired middle-aged man, 'Cool Moon Sky' Sera quickly lowered her head, large beads of sweat spilling from her forehead.

"Is he Lord Mardo Gil, the reason he summoned us here?"

Ethel and Trafalgar exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"How much is a demon whose strength rivals that of 'Hades' worth? How much is he worth?!"

Franmars took a half step back, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is 'King of Destruction' Samuel Colt, the protector of Lord 'Flame Demon END'."

'Hades' Mardo Gil smiled and introduced Igor's identity as a persona to the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' members present.

"what?"

"The protector of Lord 'Flame Demon END'?"

As soon as Mardo Gil finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Since Lord 'Flame Demon END' has suddenly descended upon the 'Nine Ghost Gates' as his protector, does that mean..."

Sera, under pressure from both 'Pluto' Maldo Gil and 'Destroyer King' Samuel Colt, tries to ask a question.

"Eh~"

Samuel smiled and said truthfully, "Just as you think, now that we have been resurrected, it means that Lord 'Flame Demon END' is not far from being fully awakened."

"what?"

Silver pupils trembled slightly, his fingers went numb. What troubled him more than the appearance of another 'Heavenly King' level great demon inside the 'Gate of the Underworld' was the fact that the final and strongest demon king 'Flame Demon END', as recorded in the 'Book of the Dark Mage' Jelf, was about to be resurrected.

"Celebrate! The final, strongest, and most invincible Demon King, 'Flame Demon END,' is about to return."

Samuel, Igor's 'Gun Demon' clone, glanced at Silver and then laughed.

Chapter 130 Mirajane and Igor, the devils' most severe mother and father~ (Part 2)

"Maldives Gil".

"Believe me, the great 'Flame Demon' Lord END will remember your contributions."

"Once Lord 'END' has fully awakened, he will grant you everything you need."

After delivering a series of impassioned speeches to the 'Nine Ghost Gates', Igor turned to look at 'Pluto' Mardo Gil standing behind him and made a promise on behalf of Naz.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Destroyer King. I will do my best to welcome back Lord 'Flame Demon END'."

After receiving Igor's promise, 'Pluto' Mardo Gill smiled slightly and thanked Igor.

"hehe."

To this, Igor simply smiled.

Well, before Igor joined the Dark Mage Guild 'Tarrensky Gate', 'Pluto' Mardo Gil was the absolute authority and the sole leader of 'Tarrensky Gate'.

However, after Igor joined the 'Typhoon', the power of 'Hades' Mardo Gil was directly diluted by Igor, and the 'Typhoon' has now changed from a single-king mode to a dual-king mode.

However, 'Pluto' Mardo Gil not only had no resentment towards Igor's arrival, but was actually quite happy about it.

After all, Igor's words were as if he were saying to 'Hades' Mardo Gil: "Brother, you've been promoted! From today onwards, you're no longer a makeshift troupe from the countryside, but a genuine protector certified by Lord 'Flame Demon'."

What 'Pluto' Maldo Gil needs most, and what he desires most, is the approval of 'Dark Mage' Jelf, or 'Flame Demon END'.

Therefore, in a sense, it was simply a matter of each getting what they needed from the other.

"From today onwards, when you see 'King of Destruction' Samuel, you must treat him with the same respect you would show me. Everything we do is to welcome the return of Lord 'Flame Demon END'."

"Pluto" Mardo Gil added after Igor's speech.

"We will obey the king's command."

As soon as 'Hades' Mardo Gil finished speaking, these great demons, who were among the 'Nine Ghost Gates,' all knelt down on one knee and truthfully declared.

"Ah."

Igor didn't say anything in response; he merely narrowed his eyes.

Igor knew in his heart that Mardo Gil was telling him that although they were both protectors of Lord 'Flame Demon END', there was still a difference in their power.

All the mages and demons of the Gate of the Underworld, including the Nine Ghost Gates, are ranked first as "King of the Underworld" Mardo Gil, and then as "King of Destruction" Samuel.

However, Igor didn't seem to care about it.

Looking around the entire interior of the 'Gate of the Underworld', the only things that caught his attention were the two 'Ultraman' warriors, 'Pluto' Mardjel and 'Underworld Beast', as well as Silver, who had replaced Deliora and learned the 'Ice Annihilation' magic.

Aside from that, the only one who could interest Igor is the 'light and gentle' 'Sunny Moon' Sera.

"hehe."

After taking a deep look at Sera in her shrine maiden outfit, Igor thought to himself, "I've found Mirajane's Prestige skin."

"hehe."

"Once I am strong enough, I will wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

Igor's gaze lingered on the 'Nine Ghosts Gate' and 'Hades' Mardo Gil, among others.

Theoretically, if Mirajane were to receive all the souls of the demons in the Nine Demon Gates, it would be equivalent to possessing the full power of Bradman, the Grim Reaper, from the Twelve Shields.

Ig remembers that 'Death' Bradman has three main abilities.

They are:

First Mark 'Magic Particles': Releases a large number of 'Magic Barrier Particles' and mixes them with the 'Magic Particles' in the atmosphere, allowing unprepared mages to absorb them into their bodies. Through the inverse relationship between 'Magic Barrier Particles' and 'Magic Particles', it completely blocks the mage's magic source, causing the mage to die from the backlash of magic.

However, this ability is useless against Igor and Mirajane.

The 'magic particles' released by Bradman not only failed to block Igor and Mirajane's magic sources, but also caused their magic sources to spin faster and faster.

The second mark, 'Wilderness of Corpses', is based on the 'Demonic Particles' released by the first mark. It summons a large number of skeletons of those killed by it, preparing for the release of the third mark. In this state, 'Death' Bradman can use all the abilities of 'Nine Ghost Gates'.

Therefore, once Mirajane absorbs all the power of the 'Nine Ghost Gates', he will be equivalent to a 'Grim Reaper' Bradman who does not need to release the first and second marks.

As for Bradman's third mark, 'Bone Burial', it's a move that involves taking the enemy down with you, and it's impossible to use under normal circumstances, so there's no need to consider it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the prerequisite for 'Death' Bradman to use the Third Mark to perish together with the enemy is that he must first abandon his physical body and become a spirit.

If Bradman dares to become spirit in front of mages like Mirajane and Igor who have mastered the 'Demon Receiving Magic', he won't need to use his third mark; it will be directly received by the two of them.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Mirajane and Igor the 'strictest parents' of these demons.

"All right."

“Now I have almost mastered the entire ‘Gates of the Underworld,’ which is equivalent to helping Mirajane open a direct path to the ‘King of the Underworld.’”

“In that case, Mirajane’s ‘inhuman’ path can now be clearly seen.”

Igor smiled; he had solved a major problem.

As for the 'inhuman path' of Laxus, Erza, and Mystergan, Igor need not worry about it.

Laxus's path is the simplest. As long as he understands the 'Dragon Slayer Crystal' buried within his body, inherited from 'Thunder Dragon King' Alexstrasza, he will not encounter any bottlenecks until his strength reaches the 'Strong Shield' level.

Erza, as the only daughter of 'Dragon Slayer Queen' Irene, has no need for explanation regarding her talent; she can simply hack her way through the ranks.

As the son of the king of the only human empire in 'Edras', Mystergang only needed to develop the 'Dragon Knight System' and that would be enough.

"Lord Samuel's gaze towards me is very strange."

"Could it be that Lord Samuel is quite fond of my human form?"

"Perhaps, I can have a 'passionate' encounter with Lord Samuel and develop a story full of 'love' that is like those that have been passed down in the human world."
