A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Harpy replied, "Of course!!"

"Wow, I'm fired up!!"

"Hey!"

Chapter 177 Mystergan's Helplessness

On the night the semifinals were decided, Kira heard that Loki had been badly beaten up by his ex-girlfriends and was so weak in the knees that he could barely walk when he returned. However, he did not choose to return to the Protoss Realm. Although the next round of matches was no longer his concern, Loki said that he really wanted to see who could go all the way.

That night, the observant Kira also noticed that Gajeel had been secretly called away by Makarov. The two were locked in a room for nearly an hour, and Kira was terrified of what they did. But then he realized that this was probably when he was infiltrating Raventail, so he was relieved.

That same night, Kira overheard Lucy and Natsu making some ominous noises outside Lucy's house. He had originally planned to visit Lucy and subtly collect a debt, but... he arrived at the wrong time and didn't know what they were doing. However, he guessed it wasn't anything shameful. Anyway, he recorded it and would let everyone analyze it later.

On the way back, Kira ran into Mystogan, who was still sitting on the stone bridge over the river, looking up at the moon, maintaining his lonely and aloof posture. Kira then chose to ignore him.

The next day, the semi-finals!

Cries echoed everywhere, shouts resounded through the heavens.

There are only two matches today, but each one has piqued everyone's curiosity.

Kira vs. Mystogan, the long-established "Sage" versus Fairy Tail's most mysterious S-class mage; and Natsu vs. Mira, the "Fire Dragon" who has risen to fame in the last two years versus the "Demon" who has not appeared in combat missions for the last two years.

Whether it's "the sage tastes defeat for the first time" or "the mystery is no longer mysterious," whether it's "the fire dragon continues to burn" or "the demon returns," either way, it's a great topic of discussion.

Tread...  

Kira and Mystogan stepped onto the fighting stage, one on the left and one on the right, one in black and one in white. One was mysterious, while the other was handsome, dashing, dashing, and charismatic, captivating the audience with his charm and words, making them eagerly anticipate their battle.

Will we be able to see the Dance of Maple Leaves again today?

"Mystgang's battle was spectacular, I support him!"

"Kira-sama is the coolest! Look at his previous battles, he was so calm every time he used magic, he clearly hadn't used his real skills yet!"

"I know Kira and the Hope Cottage he mentioned, it's where you buy those kinds of things..."

"what?"

"It's that...that one."

"Oh! Really? That's amazing!"

……

On the stage, Kira's face was full of black lines. More and more people were saying he was selling XX gadgets, and their voices were getting louder and louder, making him feel very ashamed. But the culprit who caused all this was...

Kira looked up and glared at Dispel on the judges' platform, only to find him holding the microphone, seemingly lost in thought... No, not lost in thought! He was intently listening to the audience's conversation, and even smiling!

This shameless scoundrel secretly damaged my reputation and my noble image behind my back. I spit on him!

"You seem angry?" Mistgang asked. "What's wrong?"

Kira replied casually, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt like punching Dispel."

Mister Gang paused for two seconds and said, "Then... give me a couple more punches later."

"Ok?"

Let's begin!

Kira nodded, thinking: Goodness, so this is the kind of Mystogan you are. You maintain a cool and aloof persona on the surface, but behind the scenes you instigate people to beat up your former comrades. Heh... But this must be something Dispel did wrong!

"I agree!"

Mystogan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness, it seems Kira didn't find out. Fight, you two, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, it would be best if you both were badly injured!

A bandaged hand reached behind her back and deftly pulled out a magic wand, planting it in the ground: "Skyscraper!"

Mystogan knew that Kira didn't actually like to attack first unless there were special circumstances, because that way he could use a counter-magic to fight after determining the opponent's magic. Moreover, with his magic, he could often strike first even after being attacked later.

These magic wands were indeed forged by Kira, but so much time has passed that he, as the producer, is certainly not as familiar with them as the user, Mystogan. Moreover, the magic circles imprinted on the wands were provided by Mystogan. In other words, Kira did not participate in the design and did not know much about what combinations the wands could have or what kind of magic they could unleash. Of course, he also did not want to know.

Illusion magic is really effective. Not everyone is as partially immune as Erza. Every sentient being has something to fear, and Mystogan maintains a mysterious demeanor to give people the psychological suggestion that "this person is troublesome."

However, this tactic is not very effective against people with strong willpower, and the members of Fairy Tail happen to fall into this category.

"There's no need for such a probing move!" Kira said, releasing a burst of mental energy that silently countered the "Skyscraper" attack.

Undeterred, Mistgang clashed his staffs together, unleashing three spells simultaneously: Dreamscape, Maple Dance, and Penglai Zheng, a blend of illusion and reality.

An endless dream descends, and what one sees is the autumn wind of Penglai stirring up the red maple leaves. Kira's eyes widen, and his will tears through space; what he feels is still the Penglai fairy wind carried by the red maple leaves.

Ping-pong... Ping-pong...

Deep within his consciousness, the unknown space was shattered by Kira's mental impact, like glass breaking, one after another, breaking through three or five environments before finally returning to the arena.

It sounds like a long time, but it was actually less than two seconds. Kira remained standing in place, his eyes firm, his breathing calm, and his steps steady, while Mystogan was about to raise his magic battle for the next attack.

"Fivefold Magic Circle - Kagura!"

'Sure enough, it's the same old routine!'

Kira had anticipated this attack, and he uttered a spell: "Destruction!"

With those two simple words, the five magic circles shattered instantly. Kira looked at Mystogan, waiting for him to continue his attack, but Mystogan stopped and asked in its deep, heavy voice, "Aren't you going to attack?"

Kira crossed his arms and returned a confident smile: "No way! You're a wicked person, you're definitely waiting for me to make a mistake!"

Kira was right. Mystogan was indeed waiting for him to make his move because Mystogan's offensive capabilities were not strong, and those seemingly cool magic spells were actually not very effective against Kira.

In the Dream Realm, Kira's willpower is astonishing; sleep magic has never had any effect on him. In Hourai, the power of the wind is less than his casual "storm." In Maple Dance, mental environments are ineffective against him. In Mirror Water, the opponent needs to attack first to reflect the spell. In Hidden Kagura, Kira's insidious magic cannot be caught. In Mikagura, even Erza couldn't be held back, so how could Kira be held back? In Miroku, this is the only chance, which can only appear when Kira makes a move.

Mystogan sighed helplessly, gripping his magic wand tightly and switching from magic to melee combat. The reason was simple: continuing to use magic would only be a waste of mana.

"Hey... what's going on?" The spectators complained, "Why is it melee again? Why not use magic attacks like before?"

"We paid our fees! We came here to see spectacular magical battles, not this kind of barbaric fighting!"

Mystergang: "..."

Kira: "..."

"Alright, alright, for the sake of the guild, let's give everyone a good show!"

Faced with Kira's suggestion, Mystogan nodded. He didn't really want to fight. The battle with Erza the day before yesterday had exhausted the few remaining fighting impulses he had accumulated over the years. If it weren't for saving face for the guild's S-rank, he would have surrendered yesterday.

Today's opponent is Kira. Since he knows he can't beat him anyway, he might as well just admit defeat. For Fairy Tail, it's not too shameful for an S-class mage to stop at the semi-finals.

But since the audience has made a request, and Kira seems to want a more exciting fight, then I'll just have to fight him for a while...

"bring it on!"

Chapter 178 Dream Magic

Kira stepped forward: he pulled his hands through the air, and several spells shot out in two arcs: "Elemental Frenzy!"

Flames, ice, whirlwinds, thunder, yellow sand, soil, rocks, steel, water, light, shadows, smoke... countless elemental spheres fanned out in the air, emitting colorful light around Kira.

The audience exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! This magic looks incredibly powerful!"

"To be able to use so much magic at the same time, Kira truly lives up to his name of 'Sage'!"

"I was just wondering if he got here by selling XX props, that's just too much!"

Elemental Frenzy isn't particularly powerful, but because it involves the transformation of multiple elements, it's a good tool for mages to practice their mental strength and magical control.

At the same time, this magic has another great advantage: it looks beautiful. Various elements surround the mage and are at his command. This ability is simply inflating.

"Go!"

Kira waved his hand, and the elemental orbs flew forward like soldiers receiving orders from their general. There was no need to worry about them missing anyone, since they hadn't really intended to fight anyway.

Boom! Swish! Sizzle! Bang! Crash! ...

Without aiming at any target, the magic randomly struck the ground. Amidst the bombardment of the magical frenzy, a figure moved nimbly and swiftly, weaving through the magical waves. Occasionally, when a few magic balls were about to hit, he would use his staff to deflect them. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was playing baseball.

"So strong! You managed to dodge such a dense barrage of attacks!"

"No! He didn't dodge them all, look! Mystogan retaliated!"

Suddenly, Mystogan stopped abruptly and drew three magic wands: "Penglai Zheng!"

The whirlwind lifted the incoming magical orbs into the sky. They collided, rubbed, and merged in the eye of the whirlwind before exploding in the unseen high sky, causing no damage to the opponents, the audience, or even the playing field.

The magic exploded in the air, creating a whirlwind that blew in all directions. The extras in the audience quickly used their hands to shield themselves: "Truly worthy of being an S-class battle, such powerful magic that it even affected this place."

Erza: "..."

Seeing the magic being swept into the sky, Kira extended his right hand, clenched his fist in mid-air, and the flying magic immediately stopped moving, then rushed towards Mystergan's location.

A minor audience member exclaimed, "Ah! Danger! This kind of magic could kill people!"

Mystergan remained calm: "Three Magic Circles - Mirror Water!"

Three magic arrays blocked the way in front of him, reflecting countless spells back, which then scattered in all directions like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Whoosh! Snap! Clang! Thud! Thud! Clang! ...

Several spells were thrown at Kira, so Kira waved his still-held hand to the right and commanded, "Disperse!"

The magic dissipated, leaving only faint sparks and a gentle breeze, proving that it had existed in this space just a moment ago. At this moment, Kira was like a king who commanded magic, able to control its appearance, disappearance, and movement at will with a simple command.

"Wow, that's amazing! That's so cool! I want to learn magic too!"

But these faint flames, gentle breezes, remaining water droplets, soil, fine sand, iron filings, ice shards, and even the last glimmer of lightning inexplicably began to flow in the air, gradually coalescing into a large black sphere, until the sphere could no longer withstand it and exploded with a bang, scattering into a beautiful dance of maple leaves.

The illusion began to unfold, but this time the target was not Kira, but the many spectators present. Soon, they were completely absorbed in it.

Kira pointed his fingers and added, "Dream!"

The sorrowful red maple forest lasted for less than 10 seconds before the audience felt the temperature drop sharply. The next second, the maple leaves fell in unison, spreading red and yellow across the ground. The old trees withered and bent over, and the next moment, a snowstorm descended.

The wind is the cold wind of winter, mixed with moisture, making one feel chilled to the bone; the snow is also the cold snow of deep winter, which condenses from an unknown height into small white clumps the size of fingernails, falling into the red maple forest, serene and beautiful.

"It's so cold!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, followed by many more similar voices: "Yes, it's so cold!"

A man looked down and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? When did the snow get so thick?"
