A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Chapter 257 The Invaders' Purpose

Kira may have forgotten that there was once an idiom, "to bring shame upon oneself."

After he said that, Silver turned his gaze directly to the three who had attacked Kira.

Eric slashed down with his claws: "A bright future!"

Ultear's crystal ball exploded: "The Great Magic World!"

Gerald throws a punch: "Tower of Paradise!"

With his agile movements, Kira dodged the three men's attacks one by one, and said to Silver, who was watching the show, "Did you hear that? It's nothing!"

Silver was taken aback: "This is a small matter? It doesn't sound like it!"

"A bright future," "a great magical world," and "the Tower of Paradise" are all vague and unrealistic things. Kira can say without any burden that he took these three things entirely out of a sense of justice!

Before Kira could explain what these things were, the three attacked again at the same time!

"Working without pay!"

"A punch to the face!"

"For Erza!!"

Kira: What the hell?!

The stories of "working without pay" and "being punched in the face" are true, but there's absolutely no truth to them regarding "Erza"! His relationship with Erza is completely innocent; they're just ordinary guild members!

Thump! Thump! Thump! !

Kira seized the opening, instantly increasing the power of his punches several times over, delivering three consecutive heavy blows to the heads of the three men, knocking them unconscious.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing the large bump on Gerald's head, Kira still couldn't resist the urge to punch him, but he knew that Gerald was in a somewhat strange state and that's why he spoke without thinking, so he didn't continue.

Silver walked over, looking at Kira with a mocking expression: "So, you're implying you stole her away?"

"No way!" Kira straightened his clothes, snorted, and said, "To put it bluntly, what he said went down to the level of 'attacking me'!"

"..."

Silver: How narcissistic is this guy!

This time, Kira didn't notice Silver's gaze because he had already shifted his attention to the other side.

The four-on-four battle ended quickly. Sorano, Sawyer, Richard, Nicole, and Nadia, who were the weaker ones, were the first to be eliminated under wave after wave of AOE attacks.

Using twisting magic, Dark Night cleverly enabled Magara and Desizhu to achieve the feat of "striking their teammates," which then turned into a three-way melee.

Twisted Magic is overpowered, but its weaknesses are also obvious; Plague Dragon directly applies debuffs, and those hit cannot be immune; Star Dragon has strong attack power, and the other two cannot hide their strength.

After several minutes of magical festivities, the three of them finally collapsed from exhaustion.

It was precisely because he saw that they were all incapacitated that Kira hastily ended his battle. He knew that with the troublemakers unconscious, the mastermind behind the chaos would soon appear!

Sure enough, when only Kira and Silver were left on the field, several crisp and loud applause suddenly rang out!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Kira and Silver turned around at the sound and saw three unfamiliar men who had appeared behind them at some point. Judging from their posture, they had obviously been watching for a long time.

The person clapping was a young man who looked about the same age as Kira. He was tall and thin, with a sinister face and a playful look in his eyes. He was clearly the culprit who had just started the riot.

The burly man standing on the right was tall and strong, wearing thick armor. His rough skin, visible through his exposed face, suggested he was someone who spent years exposed to the elements. Based on Kira's experience, men with this appearance were usually foot soldiers, cannon fodder.

Standing in the very center of the three was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and had a stubble beard. Through his senses, Kira discovered that this man's magical power was greater than that of the other two combined.

"Incredible! This is the first time someone has been able to block my magic perception!"

An unknown enemy suddenly appeared behind him. Anyone else would have been startled, but Kira wasn't. He was even somewhat eager to try!

This behavior is not due to belligerence, but rather curiosity!

Kira has encountered so-called strong individuals before, from Acnologia to Bruno, all of whom can be considered among the "strong." When facing these people, no matter the situation, he can fight them with a calm mind because Kira is well aware of their impressive abilities.

What truly interested him were the characters who didn't appear in Fairy Tail! Because when he was in front of these people, he clearly felt that he wasn't living in a manga, but in a real world!

Zonia's Ice Demon King Ace, Edolas' Dispel, Dean Konas, and the 'Dragon Slayer Researchers' whom I had just met were all among them.

Now, we need to add a few more people!

"Who are you people?" Silver was more concerned about the other party's origins than Kira, and asked directly.

The other person didn't answer, but instead clicked their tongue and said, "I really can't believe that in just seven or eight years, this 'research institute' has become like this!"

"Mechanical bombardment!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Silver took action. Hundreds and thousands of guns and bullets appeared out of thin air, densely packed and overwhelming. The shape, technology, and power of each gun far surpassed the most advanced magical weapons in the magical world today!

As a machine, his logic was clear: the three people in front of him knew about the past of the "research institute" and started a fight on their side as soon as they arrived. When questioned by their master, they did not immediately reveal their identities and intentions. They acted as if they were leaders on an inspection tour. Clearly, they had ill intentions! Why should he be polite to such people?

shhhhhh! ! !

The expected deafening roar did not occur; instead, there was only the continuous sound of bullets whizzing through the air, indicating that the machinery was already operating at full power!

This was the first time Kira had seen Silver use his skills. This move was similar to his "Gunfire," but it far surpassed him in speed, power, density, and sound!

"Truly worthy of being called a mechanical marvel! This machine even has a silencer! I love it!"

It's an excellent tool for surprise attacks!

"Silver, I take back what I said!"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Your mechanical weapons are definitely not the culprit behind the chaos in the magical world; it is the evil in people's hearts!"

"so what?"

"So, how about you sell me a batch first? No, although we've only known each other for a short time, I hit it off with you at first sight! Based on this relationship alone, I feel that even giving it away wouldn't be too much!"

"...Dream on!"

After a round of bombardment, the opponent was unharmed as expected, but Silver was not surprised. He had not originally intended to kill the opponent with one blow; he just wanted to use this method to analyze the opponent's magic.

"It's not even enough to be unharmed despite the smoke; let alone the smoke, we don't even know where the bullets went!"

The one who neutralized Silver's bullets was the older man who was clearly in a leadership position among the three.

Kira dared not relax for a moment. His sky-blue eyes were fixed on the transparent space three meters in front of the other party, which was rippling with real waves. He looked thoughtful. "It looks like spatial magic. They just used this move to evade perception!"

Just then, the older man among the three spoke up: "Young people are so impatient! Don't rush, we're not suspicious people!"

With a simple wave of his right hand, the surrounding guns vanished instantly, as if they had never existed.

However, it was this very action that allowed Kira to detect the gap in the other dimension, and he immediately gained access to Word Magic.

"Spatial expansion!"

Kira raised two fingers of his right hand, making a hand seal resembling a ninja's gesture. After a focused shout, the mysterious magic spread outwards, and the mechanical guns that had been banished to another dimension reappeared!

crackling sounds...

Along with the guns came thousands of bullets of various types that had disappeared earlier. The bullets scattered on the ground in front of the three people opposite them, making a series of crisp metallic sounds.

Kira felt that it wasn't the sound of bullets, but the sound of money.

The older man looked at Kira with a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect Ishgar to have a mage like this! This is the first time I've seen someone break my Dragon Slayer Magic!"

Ishgar?

"Does this mean you come from another continent?"

Kira looked at Silver and found that the other man was frowning and deep in thought, just like him. Clearly, he had never seen these people in the intelligence and had no idea what their purpose was.

“That’s right! We are mages from Giltina! My name is Doken!”

Hearing Kira's question, the stubble-faced man, Dorken, chuckled. "Actually, we used to do business with the research institute here, but in recent years, we lost contact for various reasons. We've come here this time with the aim of resuming our business relationship and continuing our transactions as before!"

Kira immediately understood the other party's intention: "A deal with the research institute? Could it be..."

"Our goal is precisely... to sell the hearts of dragons!"

Chapter 258 A Clown

"Selling...dragon hearts?"

Kira murmured, repeating the other person's words, deeply shocked.

There aren't many dragons still alive in this era. If what they said is true, where did they get a dragon's heart?

"Your behavior doesn't seem like that of a guest!"

Silver's voice rang out, referring to the fact that the three had led everyone into anger.

Doken laughed heartily: "It's a rare opportunity to come to Ishgar, and when I encountered mages here, I couldn't resist trying my luck. Sorry, sorry!"

Although he acted very friendly, Kira and Silver didn't believe a word he said!

If you want to test your skills against the mages here, why not test them against anyone else? Why make a move here of all places? It's clearly an attempt to intimidate them, or even double-cross them!

"Well said! In that case, let's have a go!" Kira shouted, charging straight in!

As an outstanding member of Fairy Tail, although he is usually lazy, his fighting spirit has never disappeared!

At the same time, Silver also rushed over with him in perfect unison!

When others invade your territory, which master would turn a blind eye? Anyway, he doesn't need any dragon hearts. The 'research institute' hasn't done this kind of business for several years under his management. Now that they've come knocking, who's going to pay attention to you?

The two stomped their feet on the spot, and the next moment, the red-haired man in black robes and the golden-haired man in silver armor shot straight towards the three opponents like two arrows released from a bow.

Docken stared at Kira and Silver, then called out to the two beside him without turning his head, "Billy, Olaf!"

Kira and Silver were fast, but their opponents reacted just as quickly, as if they had expected it. The tall, muscular man and the sinister young man rushed out from the left and right at the same time.

The sinister-looking man stood in front of Kira: "My name is Billy!"

"If you dare block our way, be prepared to get a beating!"
