A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira: "..."

No, are the four of you really members of our guild? In this situation, isn't it normal to treat everyone except your own team as an opponent and destroy the other five crystals?

With a sigh, Kira replied in a heavy tone, "Even if other teams destroy our crystal, it doesn't count as a win for them, but we'll still lose! Who knows, it might just be some busybody meddling... Biggleslow, you don't need to look at me, yes, you're right, I'm talking about Laxus!"

Biguslow: "..."

We have to be careful; there's a road from the White Team's territory that leads directly to the Yellow Team's territory! And we can't let Big Sloe guard that road...

"The guys on the black team are all brainless and reckless. Although I'm confident I can outsmart them with a little strategy, anything can happen. We must win as quickly as possible!"

The four of them exchanged glances: "Leave it to us!"

After giving their instructions, the members of the White Team immediately set off, guarding their respective routes as planned. Kira, on the other hand, charged straight towards the middle lane, preparing for a 1v5 push.

The canyon didn't allow air travel, but for Kira, there was little difference between flying and running. With a simple [Rapid Strike] spell, he ran faster than Happy at full sprint, and soon he reached the center of the canyon. Although it took a while, Kira was still the first to arrive at his speed; there wasn't a soul in sight on the other paths.

"Hehehe, since I got here first, don't blame me for being mischievous..."

Kira spread his arms, and magic activated: "Space Fold!"

Ding—ding—ding—ding—ding—ding—

The magic split into six, landing on the six channels, causing a ripple in the air that subsided after three seconds.

"Hahaha... Now everyone's in for a good time!" With that, Kira ran towards the Black Team's crystal tower without looking back.

Half a minute after Kira left, Fred and Jeter appeared in the Green Team's tunnel.

"Looks like we're the first ones here. Hmm... you go first, I'll set up a spell trap now!"

It seems that Fiend also knows that his strengths lie in stalling the game and defending, so he handed over the responsibility of offense to others, which may also be because he didn't want to face Laxus.

Jeremy nodded and headed towards his destination—the Yellow Team's Crystal Tower. However, unbeknownst to him, waiting in front of him were actually the Red Team's men.

Kira's job was simple: he simply changed the path leading to the six crystal towers.

The road that was originally supposed to lead to the Yellow Team's territory has now become the Red Team's territory; the road that was originally supposed to lead to the White Team's territory has now become the Blue Team's territory...

The other routes are similar. In short, of all the passages, only the one leading to the White Team will not be entered by anyone—unless someone wants to go through the middle lane to attack the Black Team's crystal.

When they encounter an enemy who is not one of their own, their first reaction will definitely be that the other party is just looking for a base raid, because this is consistent with Fairy Tail's style. Even if the two teams don't fight, they won't give up easily.

Even if a few realize they've been tricked, they can only choose to take a detour from the other two sides, or try one by one at the central fork. By then, Kira will have already taken down the Black Team's crystal.

Although it took Kira less than 10 seconds from conceiving the plan to implementing it, he was very satisfied with it.

"Only someone as clever as me could get these warmongers and people who usually refuse to fight to a proper match, right?" Kira thought to himself, increasingly impressed with himself. "I'm so kind!"

Not long after passing the center, Kira spotted the members of the Black Squad. All five of them were there, indicating that they had adopted a strategy of deploying all their members and leaving no one to guard the base.

What should we do? Should we fight or not?

If we fight, it's like exposing ourselves. Will they come back to defend when we attack the crystal? If we don't fight, it's a bit of a waste, as we'll miss a chance to fight.

Kira hesitated for 3 seconds, then decisively chose to fire.

Who am I? Kira!

In the entire guild, who am I afraid of? None!

Are these five members of the Black Team stronger than Laxus and Erza? You're kidding!

So what do you do when you encounter this? Fight!

Kira immediately unleashed his Word of Power magic: "Rock Prison Wagon!"

Chapter 146 Kira: I Want to Take on Five at Once

Natsu and Gajeel were very excited when they arrived at the canyon.

"I'm fired up!"

"Heh heh... A civil war in the canyon? How interesting. This time, I'll make sure Kira gets what's coming to him!"

Gajeel hadn't forgotten the times he'd been thwarted by Kira.

"You two, you're not really going to fight Kira, are you?" Alzak was worried about their safety, or perhaps it wasn't that bad, but he was concerned about their mental and physical well-being. "The White Team not only has Kira, but also Bigelow from the Thunder Legion, and... and..."

He originally wanted to say that Bisca was still there and he was reluctant to make a move, but seeing Natsu and Gajeel's fierce fighting spirit, he swallowed his words.

"Juvia also felt that there was no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. We decided to split into two teams: one to block Kira's attack, and the other to rush to the White Team's territory as quickly as possible and destroy their crystal ball."

But Natsu and Gajeel didn't care about any plan at all: "Whatever happens, just fight!"

After saying that, the two of them rushed off down the middle of the road without looking back. The remaining three exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

After running a few steps, Gajeel called out to Natsu, "Hey, Fire Dragon!"

Natsu asked without turning his head, "What's wrong?"

"I need to discuss something. I'll take care of Kira from now on, and you can handle the rest!"

"No!" Natsu refused. "I want to have a fight with Killer, that's what we agreed on!"

"Hmm? When?"

"Before you even joined the guild!"

“That guy isn’t very popular,” Gajeel smiled wickedly. “But let me, your Iron Dragon, handle this time. You can wait until next time.”

"I refuse!" Natsu shouted angrily, "You should just go and fight Biggleslow and the others."

"Hey, stop assigning opponents to other people without asking!"

"Aren't you the same!"

Do you want to fight?

"I can't ask for it!"

Just as the two stopped and raised their fists in preparation for a fight, a voice came from the side.

"Rock-clad prison van!"

"What?!"

The two reacted quickly, pushing off with their feet and jumping to either side, avoiding the dump truck that had risen from the ground.

"It's Kira!"

"Looks like choosing to attack was the right decision!" Gajeel chuckled. "Hey, Fire Dragon, in this situation..."

"Ah," flames surged from Natsu's hands, "whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!"

Kira slowly stepped forward, a warm smile on his face: "Natsu, do you remember? I said back in Zonia that I would give you some devilish training when I got back, but I forgot about it because of Phantom Lord. Now it's time to make up for it!"

Natsu's expression shifted, and an excited look appeared on his face. Without a doubt, Killer had chosen him as his opponent over Gajeel.

"Then bring it on! Fire Dragon's... Wing Attack!!"

Kira, with his wild red hair and sky-blue eyes reflecting a pale white light, stood with one hand behind his back and the other gently waving at Firewing, coldly uttering, "Freeze!"

In the blink of an eye, the flames were frozen into blocks of ice, and the ice chunks fell to the ground with a thud, creating a small crater.

"It actually froze the fire?"

Natsu fights Gray every day, so he's not unfamiliar with ice magic. But Gray's magic is just about creating ice to neutralize his flames. Or rather, that's the normal way ice and fire should collide!

Before today, Natsu had never heard of ice that could freeze fire, and he was momentarily taken aback.

"What are you spacing out for? Iron Dragon Staff!"

Fortunately, Gajeel's shout woke Natsu up in time, and he seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Killer.

"What's wrong? If you're scared out of your wits, then you can just keep going. I can handle things here by myself!"

Kira easily dodged a blow from the iron rod by sidestepping, and then closed in again.

At this moment, Juvia and the other three also arrived.

"Is it Kira?"

"Was he alone?"

"I think he could take on all five of us by himself..."

The five members of the Black Team knew that this battle would not be easy. Whether it was bypassing Kira to attack the White Team's crystal or preventing him from coveting their crystal, they had to get through this battle.

In their hearts, Natsu and Gajeel were probably the only ones thinking about fighting one-on-one. Although they also wanted to win the competition, they wanted to fight seriously with the strong members of the guild. As for winning first place and getting the honor of "strongest mage", they could only dream about it. After all, everyone knew that none of them could beat Gildarts, who did not participate in the competition.

Of course, if you're lucky, taking first place would be great too!

Just then, Natsu shouted to the others, "I'll hold this place; the rest of you go first!"

"Trying to stop my attack all by yourself?" Kira raised an eyebrow, thinking Natsu was getting cocky. "You're way too confident, Natsu!"

"Playing with ice isn't your style, Kira!" Natsu joked, raising his magic power again, making the flames even hotter. "Show me your true strength and fight me!"

The battle was about to break out. Natsu rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of punches at Kira. The other four exchanged glances and immediately took action.

Gajeel charged into the battlefield wielding his iron sword and club, using his precise judgment and swift movements to fill the gaps between Natsu's attacks.

Alzak fired several shots, a chaotic mix of bullets including slime bullets, explosive bullets, and storm bullets shooting out from the muzzle; Bigita performed an inspirational dance, boosting the magical attack of his four teammates, but against Kira, the power was still insufficient, putting them at a disadvantage.

Warriors, archers, and supports took turns attacking, and mages were not idle either. Juvia unleashed several water streams, which, in conjunction with Natsu and Gajeel's attacks, flowed invisibly and could freely insert themselves into the battle, filling the last gap in the attack.

However, Kira fought five opponents single-handedly without losing his composure.

First, she used a Wind Wall to block the bullets. Then, she cleverly used Juvia's water to counter Natsu's fire, and then used Gajeel's iron to block Juvia's water. Finally, she used Natsu's fire to melt Gajeel's iron.

Long-term training has greatly improved Kira's close combat ability. At this moment, facing Natsu and Gajeel, he still manages to dodge with ease amidst the attack of four fists and four kicks. His movements are smooth and fluid, and he can even launch a counterattack.

If we calculate the combat data for these five people, the two warriors who deal the most damage are Natsu and Gajeel. Their close-quarters combat is brutal, and with each punch delivered with full force, each punch becomes stronger than the last under Bige's dance.

But after Kira became familiar with this kind of hand-to-hand combat, he began his magical counterattack: "Reflect!"

The scattered bullets paused in mid-air for a moment, then flew off together toward Alzac.

Alzak reacted quickly, firing several more shots that hit the ricocheting bullets. Dozens of bullets exploded in the air, scattering colorful sparks and spent casings all over the ground.

"Repulsive force!"

An invisible wave emanated from Kira, sending Bigeta, who was wandering on the edge of the battlefield, flying and crashing into a roadside stone wall where he lost consciousness.
