A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

After a moment of silence, Kira pretended not to hear and continued teaching his younger brothers and sisters, shaking his head and gesturing wildly.

"Every law has a solution; there is no magic in this world that cannot be broken!"

The three nodded in agreement.

"The more powerful the magic, the greater the price!"

"Uh-huh……"

Just like those teachers who are so worried about highlighting key points for students who are about to take an exam, Kira kept throwing out his own summarized battle manual, leaving everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, thinking that since they were going to wait for the Moon Drop to be completed anyway, there was no harm in listening, and it would be good to pass the time, the group sat on the ground to rest and listen to the lecture, and Kana even started drinking.

"...The 100th, and most important, rule! A good magical weapon can even turn the tide of battle and allow you to win, and the price to obtain this power is only a little money! So, never lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain, and never let money blind you!"

Kira finished reciting his "magic manual" written on the spot, feeling extremely proud.

Look, this is how to become stronger! I don't tell this to just anyone! Aren't you all going to take out your notebooks and write it down?

But when he turned around, he was dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"

These people don't look like they're paying attention at all.

At this moment, Leon leaned against the rock and looked up at the sky, or more precisely, at the Moon Drop that he had been longing for. His three underlings were also gathered around him.

But they're not important. What's important is...

Gray sat on the ground, head down and silent, lost in thought; Cana was drinking with Rocky, their faces flushed, clearly they were almost drunk.

As for Ultear... wait, where is she?

Well, so all that was for nothing?

Cana waved the bottle and called out, "Hey, Kira! Want to have a drink?"

Are all the cards in your deck filled with alcohol?

However, I was indeed a bit thirsty, so I drank the beer Kirakana handed me in one gulp, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"The ceremony is almost over!"

A gasp rang out, and everyone looked up.

Kira called to the group, "Let's go down and take a look!"

The group continued down the path, and no one noticed Kira secretly making unwanted advances towards the Moon Drop from behind.

What is he doing? Of course, he's collecting Moon Drops! This thing that can dissolve all magic must be collected and put to good use; it might come in handy sometime.

Before long, everyone arrived at the bottom of the ruins. Purple light shone from the cave entrance onto Deliora, who was frozen in ice, and moonlight poured in like liquid.

"Awoooo ...

The demon, frozen for ten years, finally revealed its fangs, its roar echoing throughout the ruins. With the appearance of the roar, the ice formed by absolute freezing began to gradually melt under the influence of the Moon Drops, as if it had encountered high temperatures.

Even though it hasn't completely melted yet, bursts of howling roars emanate from the ice, as if they could shake the mountains and the earth.

Deliora, a powerful demon who once dominated the northern continent and could only be sealed away by Uru, is about to awaken again before everyone's eyes after a ten-year plan!

Chapter 19 Who told you not to read books properly?

The cold, dark magic raged, and the weaker extras immediately felt immense pressure, trembling all over. Their families had all died at the hands of Deliora, which was why they had joined Leon's plan. Now, their enemy was right in front of them, and the person who could take revenge was also right in front of them.

Even Gray began to tremble, as painful memories that had long been sealed away resurfaced like a tidal wave.

A bone-chilling snowy night, a towering demonic figure, wailing family members, a shattered village, howling winds, frost, blood, hunger, helplessness... all these memories intertwine to form a terrifying nightmare that surges into my mind.

Ten years have passed, and Gray thought he had long forgotten that nightmare, but now he realizes that it has not disappeared, but has been buried deep in his memory, just as Uru said back then, that she sealed the darkness in his heart.

But now, the seal has been broken!

"Impossible! Even Uru sacrificed himself, how could we possibly defeat that monster!"

Even Cana and Kira, who had spent the most time with Gray, had never seen him like this before.

"Gray! Calm down!"

Kira stepped forward, grabbed Gray's shoulder, and shouted, pulling Gray back from his panic.

Compared to Gray's panic, Leon was more excited: "Finally... finally it's done... after ten years, he has finally been resurrected, Deliora!"

"Uru, do you see that? I will defeat it, do what you can't, and prove that I am stronger than you!"

Leon knew that with just one or two hours, the magic he had recovered was far from enough to fight Deliora, but so what?

This is a plan I've been preparing for for ten years. Over the past ten years, I've been looking for methods and gathering manpower. The plan has also been implemented for three years. All this long wait has been for this moment!

Therefore, even if I am not in good condition now, I must go forward to fight. This is not only my dream, but also the goal of all my subordinates!

Manshan stepped forward, her steps unsteady. Leon walked step by step toward Deliora, but was stopped by Kira when he passed by.

Leon was somewhat surprised: "You...? Are you only stopping me now?"

“It’s not that I’m trying to stop you,” Kira said calmly without turning his head, “I just want you to know that your plan was doomed from the start!”

Leon: "?!"

Gray: "..."

"Oh, oh, oh, it finally succeeded? This is Deliora? What terrifying magic!" Ultear reappeared, slowly walking into the cave from the steps behind her. "No wonder even that Uru could only seal it. It seems its strength is much greater than I imagined."

The reappearance of "Jerut" didn't attract much attention from the people present. As for Leon and his companions, although they felt that this person might have impure motives for joining the team, they didn't care when they thought of Leon's strength.

As for Gray and his two companions, even if this person wasn't a good person, they wouldn't need to lift a finger; if he decided to turn against them, everyone here would become his enemy.

Kira is still here! Everyone saw their fight just now; it was a complete one-sided beatdown!

Gerrit has no chance of winning!

The Moon Drop hadn't completely dissolved and was completely frozen. Seeing that Deliora would take a while to revive, Leon turned and questioned, "What do you mean by saying my plan would never succeed from the start? Do you think I can't beat Deliora?!"

"How could you possibly do this against an enemy that even Uru couldn't defeat! The only way now is to use Absolute Freeze again and reseal Deliora before he is fully resurrected!" Gray seemed a little desperate, even wanting to take them down with him.

Leon was somewhat angry. "Even now, are you still going to stop me?"

"Shut up! I've surpassed Uru! I can beat it!"

Kira sighed, paused for a moment, and then asked with a somewhat enigmatic expression, "How much... do you know about the Absolute Freeze spell?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Leon thought Kira was being indecisive and pretending.

"I heard it from Gildas, who also learned it during his fight with Uru. Once Absolute Freeze is used, it's almost impossible to break. The sealed target will gradually lose its life force within the seal. Ten years should be enough time to completely kill Deliora!"

"What did you say?" Leon felt a sense of unease creeping in. "That... Deliora, it..."

Kira nodded: "Yes, it's dead! It was completely wiped out by Uru in the last ten years!"

Rocky: "That's really impressive!"

Cana: "No wonder you were so sure his plan wouldn't succeed, you already knew all along... Wait... Hey! You heard all this from Gildas?"

Sister, isn't your focus a little strange?

"How could this be... I don't believe it!" Leon seemed to be on the verge of collapse. "If this happens... if this happens... then I... will I never be able to surpass Uru?"

However, sensing the gradually weakening magical power emanating from Deliora, he could only believe Kira's words.

*Clap clap!*

As the first sound rang out, as if on command, Deliora, which was not yet fully unsealed, began to shatter. The sound became clearer and more intense, and the pieces of flesh covered in frost and frozen for many years began to disintegrate, falling uncontrollably to the ground under the influence of gravity.

With his last hope dashed, Leon knelt helplessly on the ground, tears of anguish streaming down his face.

"Damn it!" Leon clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground, his heart filled with a mixture of resentment and regret.

I will seal away the darkness within you!

Gray, moved by Uru's last words, murmured softly, tears welling in his eyes, "Uru..."

Only now does he understand the true meaning of those words, and only now does he finally let go of this dark nightmare in his heart.

"Uru... thank you!"

Tears streamed down Gray's face uncontrollably.

Kira stood to the side, his expression somewhat... awkward.

Indeed, experiencing it firsthand is vastly different from reading about it in a comic book!

When reading comics, I can at least get a little moved, but now... two grown men shedding tears for this demon, the scene is just too bizarre.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

At this point, I, Xiao Wangzi, have to warm up the atmosphere!

"What a pity. I didn't study hard enough. I wasted ten years of my life, and it all came to nothing. Sigh... How many decades does one have in a lifetime?"

Leon lowered his head even further, weeping and crying out about his shattered dreams: "I can't surpass... I can't surpass Uru..."

Strange, why does the atmosphere feel even funnier now...?

Chapter 20! I'm back to life!

"Can't you just say less?"

Sherry, who cares most about Leon, complained, but Kira ignored her, refusing to believe he couldn't create a proper atmosphere of sadness!

So he opened his arms, forcing a sorrowful expression: "To protect his disciple, he sacrificed himself to seal away a powerful demon, and at the same time eliminated the darkness in his disciple's heart. What a noble sentiment! What an admirable teacher!"

It hardened; Urutia's fist hardened.

Why? Why can you go to such lengths for your disciple, yet so heartlessly abandon me?

"That was a powerful mage who could only fight Gildarts to a draw, the mage Uru... She could have had a brighter future. If she were still alive, her name might have resounded throughout Ishgar! In the end, she was willing to sacrifice herself for such a demon, for her disciple. What a pity!"

Gray cried even louder.

Noticing all this, Rocky came over and whispered, "Hey, that's enough. I know you want to see us make a fool of ourselves, but if you keep going, things will get out of hand..."

What are you saying? What do you mean you want to see me make a fool of myself? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I was clearly...
