A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"So either the canyon itself has this trap, deliberately complicating the battle between the six teams, or Kira is behind it, changing the direction of the mid lane."

“Uh…” Elfman recognized Erza’s tone; she was almost certain Kira had done it. “Then why did you attack Jet just now? Why didn’t you just send him back…”

"What kind of talk is that?" Erza ruthlessly interrupted Elfman's doubts once again. "Anyway, they're not teammates. Since we've run into them, of course we have to fight!"

This reason is very valid and compelling, and Elfman cannot refute it at all.

Before long, the two encountered Mira and her two companions coming towards them.

"Erza, Elfman?"

The three people opposite were also surprised, clearly not expecting to encounter these two. This made Erza even more certain of her thoughts: "As expected, the passage at the central intersection has been changed!"

"What's going on?" Kana sensed something was wrong. "Why did you come out of the Yellow Team's territory?"

"It must be Kira! He changed the route through the middle lane and lured you here!"

Upon hearing this, the Green Team members exchanged glances, noticing the doubt in their teammates' eyes. No one could be sure whether Erza was telling the truth or not, even though it was something Kira would do.

Seeing that the other side refused to turn back, Erza had no choice but to draw her sword and step forward: "This is Red Team territory. If you continue to advance, then war will be the only option!"

With the threat looming, both Kana and Wakaba considered retreating. They knew that with so little time left in the game, the red team had no chance of reaching the yellow team's territory. So, they turned their attention to Mira.

Surprisingly, Mira still wore a sweet smile and said in her usual gentle tone, "That's great! It's been so long since I fought Erza!"

"what?!"

"Hey Mira, shouldn't we reconsider? Now's not the time to go to war with the Red Team, is it?"

Mira tilted her head, her brows furrowed slightly, and looked confused. She said in a very innocent tone, "But we don't know if what they're saying is true or false."

At this moment, Elfman stepped forward: "I can guarantee that what we said is true!"

"But Erza is blocking our way!"

You just want to fight her, don't you!

"Wait...wait, sister!" Elfman shouted, "We're no match for them this time, are we?"

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Elfman." Mira looked apologetically at her younger brother, "But, since we've run into each other, it would be such a waste not to have a fight, wouldn't it?"

Kana was internally devastated: 'What were you thinking when you said that?'

Wakaba squinted, sweat beading on his forehead: 'How terrifying! Mira-chan, are you serious about saying you want to fight Erza with that kind of smile?'

"Alright, let's go check if that's really the Yellow Team's crystal. If not, we'll leave immediately!" Mira suggested calmly, thinking, 'Anyway, my territory is already protected by Philid's magic, I have plenty of time.'

Erza firmly refused: "Impossible, I don't have the time!"

"Will it take longer than fighting me?"

"Do you want to give it a try?"

Despite the icy tone, the three people present seemed to see a fiery spark fly between their gazes.

"How about we send Kana and Wakaba over to take a look? If you're worried, Elfman can come along too."

Elfman quickly said, "That's a good idea, I'll take them, Erza and your sister, you can..."

"Like I said, impossible! We don't have the time!"

Erza refused again. She knew that letting Cana and Wakaba in would do more harm than good. If they thought, "We're already here, might as well destroy the Red Team's crystal before we leave," the rear would be in danger. What if the Black Team attacked from the side? Wouldn't they suffer a great loss?

Faced with the scene before her, Mira was equally unyielding: "Then I'll say it again, will it take longer than fighting me?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the next moment...

"Change clothes!"

"take over!"

Erza dons her armor, Mira dons her demon form.

Two years ago, because of Lisanna's "death," Mira and Elfman were devastated, and even their own magic became unstable. But in the end, the reason for all of this was that their hearts were not firm enough.

Kira had once mentioned to Mira that "Lisanna might have gone to Edolas," but she didn't quite believe it at first, even thinking that Kira was just using his fantasy novels to comfort herself. It wasn't until the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord, when Dispel's unexpected appearance gave her hope, that Mira gradually regained her power.

"Mira, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Show me your current strength!"

Mira's demeanor had changed drastically, and her tone was more assertive, leaving the others somewhat unaccustomed to it: "It's been two years since we've seen Mira like this..."

clang!

The greatsword and the demon's hand collided violently. Erza's face showed relief at reuniting with her foe, while Mira's eyes blazed with increasing madness.

The two attacked with increasingly fierce moves, sharper swords, and more powerful punches, quickly reaching a level that even "Eurasian" and "Muda" could not describe.

The sight sent chills down the spines of the other three, reminding them of their daily guild life a few years ago. Back then, the most troublesome people in the guild weren't Natsu and Gray, those two goofballs, but the two violent women in front of them.

Not only them, but the audience outside was also very excited...

"It's 'Fairy Queen' Erza and 'Demon Mira'! They've started fighting! How exciting!"

"It was worth it! The ticket was definitely worth buying today!"

"I love watching pretty girls fight!"

Seeing that Mira had held Erza back, Cana and Wakaba exchanged a glance and ran forward at the same time.

Whether it's the yellow team's crystal or the red team's crystal, you have to take a look to be sure!

Erza shouted, "Stop them!"

The shout roused Elfman from his reverie about the past. The Beast King, having received the power, stood in front of Kana. He already possessed the aptitude to receive power in its entirety, and the restoration of his mental state further enhanced his strength.

"A real man should block the opponent's sneak attack!"

"I'll stop him, you go!"

"Okay!"

Wakaba transformed into pink smoke, bypassed Elfman, and ran forward without looking back. He was so fast that Elfman couldn't catch up at all, especially with Kana blocking his way.

"A real man should fight back with his fists!"

Kira raised her massive, beast-like fist to strike, but Kana deftly dodged it. At the same time, she reached for the card pouch at her waist: "To deal with a clumsy mage like Elfman, you have to use a speed-type approach, right?"

The card she carried on her waist was the one Kira had recently taken back and improved. After several days of persuasion from Kira, Cana accepted the new fighting style he had brought her—card summoning.

"Come forth, Wind-Slaying Weasel!"

Chapter 152 The Buddhist Blue Team

Summoning magic is a rare, high-level form of magic that can summon magical beasts that have made a pact with the mage to fight, similar to celestial spirit magic.

The difference is that when Celestial Spirits stay in the human world, they continuously consume the magic power of the mage, and the power they can exert depends on the amount of magic power the Celestial Spirit mage has; while Summoning Magic only consumes magic power for the moment the mage casts the spell, and the summoned beast will not be unable to exert its power because the mage's own strength is weak.

This magic has another characteristic: the more powerful the magical beast, the more magic power is consumed when summoning it. And as a magical beast created by Kira, its strength is naturally not bad.

The Wind Scythe Weasel is a humanoid weasel with snow-white fur. It stands on two legs like a human, and its hands are not sharp claws but two scythes. It is about 40cm tall, has one eye, and its gaze is extremely sharp.

Although it looks like a living magical beast, it is actually a purely mechanical creation. It is just that a special magical tool is used to make it obey Kana's commands.

After Kira revamped Cana's cards, this is what he sent back. The original form of Wind Scythe Itachi was that [Hurricane] card.

Overall, this card's attack power hasn't increased much, but its autonomy has been greatly enhanced. Now it can not only recognize the mage's commands and strategically attack enemies, but also dodge enemy attacks, making it like having an extra helper in battle.

"Is this the summoning card Kira was talking about?" Cana looked at the small weasel on the ground with interest. "It's a bit small, but it looks quite cute."

Before Kana could get a good look, she heard Itachi's cold and ruthless voice: "Detecting current enemies. Enemy detected as a guild member. Activating [Civil War] mode."

Kana was stunned: "What civil war...?"

The Kamaitachi was fast and quick to react. After landing, it immediately locked onto the enemy, and then with two swishes, its figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only two plumes of dust on the ground.

"Hmm? Where's that Kamaitachi?"

Elfman was puzzled when he suddenly felt two wind blades coming from behind. He quickly turned around to block them, but the weasel-man was nowhere to be seen.

Stab it!

The wind blade tore through his already tattered shirt, but it didn't do much damage to Elfman. He was now fully imbued with the Beast King's Soul, making him incredibly strong defensively.

"It hurts..." Elfman exclaimed in shock after being attacked. "Why? There's no wound, but it feels like I've been cut open."

"You'll feel pain when attacked, but it won't leave any wounds..." Seeing Elfman's appearance, Kana seemed to understand something. "So that's how it is. Is this the [Civil War Mode]?"

"Kira has such a twisted sense of humor. I wonder where he learned that from."

The thought that Kira might have some strange, unknown fetishes sent chills down Cana's spine, but she quickly realized that now was not the time to think about that.

Elfman is burly, and his attacks are just as burly. As an old rival and teammate, Cana knows his fighting style very well, so she chooses to avoid his sharp edge, dodging one punch after another with agile movements, while controlling the Wind Scythe Weasel to attack.

The two were evenly matched, and the battle was at a stalemate.

Meanwhile, the battle between Erza and Mira has reached a fever pitch.

Look at Erza, the sharp-haired female knight, now wearing a full-length armor with iron wings, wielding two silver swords, and surrounded by hundreds of sharp swords. The "Fairy Queen" is like a sharp sword, fiercely stabbing at her opponent.

Then look at Mira, the arrogant and fierce white-haired female demon. At this moment, dark wings spread out from her back, and a thick, long, evil tail extended from her. Her hands also transformed into demonic hands, and her exposed and wild red clothing covered most of the dark red demonic patterns that appeared on her body.

The two fought from the ground to the sky and back again, their swords and claws constantly sparking fleeting flashes of light. The contrast between the knight in his holy white attire and the demon in his dark robes was striking, creating a decadent atmosphere where holiness and depravity intertwined, along with breathtaking violent aesthetics. Every move they made stimulated the audience's nerves and emotions.

Although they are enemies at the moment, although this enemy is blocking their way, and although this enemy is very strong and it will be difficult to fight, all the audience could see the joy on the faces of the two.

It was a cheer for family and companions to bounce back, and the joy of facing off against friends and rivals again.

Go Erza!

"You have to win, Mira-chan!"

The audience's attention was completely drawn to the battle, especially the men, who watched with bated breath.

That's normal. One is a famous fairy queen, and the other is the most popular cover girl in fashion magazines. Their popularity is unimaginable.

Among the thousands of spectators, none paid attention to Laxus, who looked like a beast trapped in a cage; nor did anyone care about Vakaba, who had already been petrified by Abbagrim, would not return to report, and might not even be able to move until the end of the match.

Of the six teams, the outcome of the battle between the white and black teams is about to be decided; the yellow team is advancing on two fronts, but Laxus in the middle is immobilized and unable to participate in the battle; the red and green teams are unexpectedly engaged in battle, and almost all of their members are busy; the only team that has not yet entered the battle is the blue team.

Before entering the canyon, the blue team began their strategic deployment.

Mystogan, Gray, and Lucy are all relatively clear-headed individuals in Fairy Tail. They know that if the battle were fought on three fronts, their team wouldn't have much of an advantage, since their left side is Kira's White Team and their right side is Laxus's Yellow Team.
