Fairy Tail: I was transported to the wrong world and became a pirate
Chapter 39 Croba Canyon
The village chief of Xiluoer Village discussed the matter with the villagers for most of the night and finally decided to continue to entrust them with handling the matter.
Because it involves demons, the mission request has been upgraded to S-rank. Missions of this rank cannot be done casually; they must first be approved by Makarov before they can be executed.
After discussing with Mira, Hughes stayed behind in Siror Village to prevent any unforeseen events; Mira, on the other hand, took a new mission assignment and rushed back to the guild overnight.
As darkness fell, Hughes, unable to sleep, told the village chief of Siror Village and continued back to the front of the Croba Canyon. He marked some places along the way and then plunged into the canyon, which was full of faults and had a complex terrain, without looking back.
Following the chaotic animal tracks on the ground, Hughes slowly ventured deeper inside.
Croba Canyon truly lives up to its reputation as a place where countless people get lost, and some even die without ever finding their way out.
Even following the tracks of wild animals on the ground, Hughes repeatedly found himself on a dead end.
[Absorbed a small amount of demonic essence, Flame-Flame Fruit Awakening Level +0.002%]
[Absorbed a small amount of demonic essence, Flame-Flame Fruit Awakening Level +0.002%]
......
The system's continuous notification sounds were like heavenly music to Hughes' ears. Hughes, who continued to act like a ventilator, kept inhaling and exhaling wildly.
I'm going to eat, eat, eat...
Whenever he absorbed all the demonic energy in the air, Hughes would immediately move to another location. The awakening level of the Flame-Flame Fruit would rise rapidly in a short time, reaching the 9% threshold in no time.
This was Hughes's purpose in entering the Croba Canyon alone; with Mira by his side, he couldn't act so recklessly.
As Hughes ventured deeper, he encountered more and more wild beasts, which roamed the canyon, gathering in packs and charging around like madmen.
Hughes slowly stopped and glanced at the road he had come from. The direction in which the wild beasts had fled led to the village of Siror.
Wild beasts are not scary, but a large group of out-of-control wild beasts is comparable to a natural disaster; not to mention that there are quite a few giant lions and wild elephants in the herd, and even a few uniquely shaped beast kings.
If this lineup were allowed to break out of the Croba Grand Canyon, the village of Siror would be completely razed to the ground.
Hughes shook his head and sighed helplessly. In the next instant, the perfect-grade iron block covered his entire body.
Hughes leaped into the center of the pack of beasts, charging forward like the Grim Reaper, cutting through the beasts with every move he made.
The fearless lion king roared to the sky and pounced on Hughes, who stood still and let it tear him apart.
It treated me with evil, so I treated it with kindness!
Hughes gently stroked its mane with both hands, flames shooting from his palms, presenting it with a famous dish, "Braised Lion's Head".
The wild elephant king, which had been forced back by Hughes's blasts, stomped its hooves on the ground with a deafening roar, and its two tusks, sharp and cold, thrust straight at Hughes.
Hughes, who had dodged using his elemental powers, retaliated with a slap, his small hand colliding with the massive elephant head...
"boom!"
The wild elephant king collapsed to the ground, blood oozing from its five orifices!
"You are too terrible, King Elephant, I cannot let you live!"
Standing atop the elephant's body, Hughes's eyes were serious as he unleashed a burst of concentrated flames from his fist.
"Fire Fist!"
The massive flames, carrying a terrifying impact and intense heat, burned and shattered the surrounding area, thus wiping out the beast tide that had threatened the entire village surrounding Croba Canyon.
Standing amidst the blood and corpses, Hughes took a few breaths, then took out a 100 million J worth of mental potion and swallowed it in one gulp. His expression turned solemn as he looked to the side, flames rising from his body.
"Are we still going to hide? This strong smell has already given us away..."
As soon as the words were spoken, a magical beast with surging magical power emerged from the darkness, revealing its true form. It had blood-red eyes, resembled a wild dog, and had claws like blades. It stood upright.
"Humans, we just want to escape from here." With those words, the humanoid, dog-like monster suddenly vanished.
Hughes wasn't surprised that the magical beast could talk; after all, the forest Vulcans could talk. But what was this magical beast? It was fast enough, but its claws were so sharp!
Hughes looked down at his chest, where three cuts were bleeding. The perfect-grade iron block had been easily broken.
Hughes quickly activated his elemental transformation in secret, turned his head to look at the demonic beast, and released flames from his hands one after another.
He couldn't keep up with the speed of this monster, so he decided to launch a full-scale attack.
Hughes, transformed into a flamethrower, relentlessly bombarded the small valley with clusters of flames from his palms, turning it into a sea of fire in an instant.
The carcasses of wild animals on the ground crackled and burned, emitting a foul stench.
"Whoosh...whoosh" Just as two gusts of wind rang in his ears, Hughes saw the flames in front of him being cut into three parts. In a flash of claw light, he shattered into pieces on the ground, the cracks smooth.
Watching the human slowly revert to human form under its claws, the Windhound Beast roared in despair, "Human, let me leave! It'll be too late if we wait any longer! We'll all die! That demon has gone mad! It's devoured all the monsters in the canyon!"
Hughes, who had just reassembled his body, was taken aback by what he heard, but he quickly recovered. He couldn't tell how much of the monster's words were true and how much was false; but the demon should be far away from him, because the system notification hadn't sounded for a long time.
I glanced at it briefly and saw that the awakening level of the Flame-Flame Fruit had reached 10%.
This monster must be eliminated here. Its mind has already collapsed. If it is allowed to leave, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.
The flames grew ever more intense from Hughes's body, scorching the moisture in the air.
Even with speed and sharp claws, you still need a place to unleash your power!
With his toes touching the ground, Hughes leaped into the air, spread his palms, and flames rained down from the sky.
The raging flames on the ground were like a pot, while the flames falling from the sky were like a lid, trapping the Windhound Beast inside and scorching it with heat.
The windhound monster inside the flames thrashed about incessantly, while Hughes outside, releasing flames, never stopped. The two were locked in a stalemate, each trying to outlast the other.
The roaring sounds from within the flames gradually subsided, and Hughes, still fearing he had fallen into a trap, continued to spew flames from his palms for a while before finally dissipating the fire.
The firelight slowly dissipated as Hughes stood ready, revealing the skeletons inside. Only then did Hughes breathe a sigh of relief.
As dawn broke, Hughes, who had been resting on the ground for a while, got up, carved a few more marks, and continued walking into the Croba Canyon.
He had to absorb all the demonic energy in the air before it dissipated; such an opportunity to rapidly increase his strength was rare.
Meanwhile, Mira, who had already arrived at the guild, quickly handed the new mission assignment to Makarov for review and explained all the details to him.
After listening, Makarov frowned and walked towards the guild library. The Croba Grand Canyon was related to a secret. What book was it again?
A moment later, Makarov hurriedly found Mira, told her some news, and quickly called Lagusas and Mira to go to the village of Sirol.
