A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

However, upon hearing Kira's words, he merely gave a disdainful smile: "Come on!"

"Fire Fist!!!"

Kira let out a long shout, and his magic surged forth, transforming into a raging crimson flame under the power of his words. The flames coiled around his right arm, and as he threw a punch, they quickly condensed into a crimson arm guard, as aggressive and fiery as his red hair!

The arm armor enhances the fist attack, making it even more powerful than Natsu's "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist," and its destructive power far exceeds that. If this move hits, he would probably lose half his life.

However, the sinister-looking youth sneered and extended his left palm to block Kira's right fist, while simultaneously uttering a soft cry: "The Sorrowful Scales of the Evil Dragon!"

The instant their fists made contact, Kira felt an overwhelming surge of sorrow welling up from the depths of his heart. In that brief moment, this sorrow became uncontrollable, causing the power of his fire fist to plummet!

"What's going on?!"

Ignoring his surprise, Kira quickly withdrew his hand and simultaneously kicked out with his left leg: "Ice Blade!"

The same magic, but transformed by the power of words, becomes completely different magic. The ice emanates a bone-chilling cold, forming a sharp and thin ice blade on the leg. With Kira's side kick, it cuts through the air with a sharp and ear-piercing sound!

This strike is far superior to Gray's Ice Holy Sword!

"He can actually use two different types of magic?!"

Billy was clearly not prepared for Kira's magic to change in this way, and he exclaimed in surprise. However, his good combat skills allowed him to react quickly, raising his right hand to block at his side.

clang!

Arms and legs struck each other, producing a dull metallic clang!

The same sorrow surged up again, greatly reducing the power of the ice blade, which shattered into ice shards as Billy parried it.

After two unsuccessful attacks, Kira realized that the opponent's magic was strange. It was the kind of magic that made people feel sad and greatly reduced the power of their attacks, so close combat was not a good choice!

Thinking of this, Kira immediately withdrew: "Emotional manipulation magic? It seems that you're the one who turned Dark Night and the others into that state!"

"Brilliant!" Billy praised, saying, "The Claw of Wrath can ignite the fury in a person's heart; the Scale of Sorrow can weaken an attack! Among the people I've met in the past, there are very few who can resist this kind of magic. I'm curious, how many emotions can you resist?"

"I see, mental magic, huh?" Kira chuckled, twisting his right wrist. "Interesting! Show me your emotional magic! No matter how many you have, I'm going to slap you in the face today!"

"Emotional magic? No! This isn't emotional magic!" Billy said smugly. "It's Dragon Slayer magic! I am an evil Dragon Slayer mage who can manipulate people's minds!"

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling Kira's fine, red hair.

Kira was not surprised by Billy's words. From their brief exchange, he was certain of his previous guess. After all, who would name their move "X Dragon's XXX" besides a Dragon Slayer?

"So it really is Dragon Slayer Magic? I knew this magic's properties were very familiar!"

Billy looked at Kira and said proudly, "Not just me, all three of us are Dragon Slayers, but we're not like the Dragon Slayers you know. We eat..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Kira skillfully and ruthlessly interrupted him: "Dragon-slaying magic obtained by eating dragon meat?"

Being interrupted halfway through his sentence caused a flicker of displeasure in Billy's heart, but he was quickly taken aback upon hearing Kira's words: "You...you know?"

Kira waved his hand dismissively: "What's the big deal? It's just eating dragon meat, why are you making such a fuss?"

"..."

Billy was furious at Kira's disdain: "Listen carefully! We gained our power by eating dragon meat! We're not like those first-generation dragons who were taught magic by dragons, the second-generation dragons who had dragon crystals implanted, or any third or fourth-generation ones! We are the fifth-generation Dragon Slayers! We are the real Dragon Slayers!!!"

"Are you speaking so quickly because you're afraid I'll interrupt you?" Kira was equally ruthless, raising his head slightly, glancing down at me with a mocking smile, and saying sarcastically, "I've even fought Acnologia before, am I arrogant?"

Kira had initially thought that his words would at least leave the other person uttering words of genuine admiration, or at the very least, cause them to be terrified and utter something like, "Truly remarkable." But...

The other person looked puzzled: "Acnologia... what is that?"

Kira: "..."

Seriously? This guy has such limited knowledge, yet he dares to call himself a Dragon Slayer Mage?

Seeing Kira's expression, Billy suddenly realized: "I get it! From what you're saying, this Acnologia must also be a dragon, right? Heh! So what if you've fought a dragon? I've eaten dragon meat!"

His smug look was just like that of the idiot on the street corner...

"Wow... this is the first time I've ever seen someone so arrogant. Even Bruno is more humble than him!"

After muttering to himself for a moment, Kira questioned, "I'll ask you one thing: did you kill the dragon you ate with your own hands?"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

"Uh...this...isn't..."

Although Billy ate dragon meat and was proud of being the "Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer Mage," he did not actually kill that dragon.

Kira sneered again: "Since you're not, then let me ask you, what's the difference between you and the second-generation Dragon Slayer Mage?! You're just copying others' work! What's there to be proud of? You're a clown!"

"You bastard!"

Kira's words left the opponent speechless, and he could only unleash his rage through the Dragon Slayer magic in his hand: "The Evil Dragon's... Fang of Fear!!"

A surge of dark energy erupted from Billy's body. He clenched his fists, striking upwards and downwards, like the gaping maw of an evil dragon with dozens of sharp teeth arranged in an orderly fashion. Each strike could tear the enemy apart.

Billy has been using Dragon Slayer Magic for over ten years. This move has allowed him to defeat countless powerful enemies. Every mage who faces this "Fear of Fear" is plunged into deep fear, unable to move, and left to be slaughtered by him!

That fear came from the oppression of the evil dragon, but even more so from the instinct of life when facing its own death!

But Kira... always surprises!

"broken!"

boom!

With a deafening roar, the evil dragon's shattered teeth vanished!

"Wh...what's going on?!" Billy's eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. He didn't know why his magic, which had never failed him, had suddenly disappeared.

Kira stepped forward, looked at Billy, and said, "You should be glad your opponent is me, not Silver. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a chance to show your abilities!"

Chapter 259 Dragon Hunting Magic Guild

On the other hand, Silver's battle did not go as smoothly as Kira had imagined.

"Mechanical bombardment!"

Compared to dragon-slaying magic, as a member of the mechanical race, he is more skilled in mechanical magic. In addition, this is his base, making the battle incredibly easy.

Metals, electricity, magnetic fields, programs... all things that were originally incredibly complex and required countless people to study for decades or even centuries to integrate, were transformed into the most advanced mechanical products with a single thought from Silver!

Swords, weapons, mechs—anything that can be made of metal—was easily forged and manufactured by him, and his technology was hundreds of years ahead of its time!

However, this art, brimming with wisdom, still proved somewhat difficult to contend with when faced with that burly man.

Clang clang clang... Boom boom boom...

Silver wielded his weapon and bombarded Olaf relentlessly for a full minute. However, when the smoke cleared, Olaf stood motionless, unmoved!

"How is this possible?! What is this guy's body made of?!" Upon seeing this, Silver's eyes widened in surprise. Even this valley couldn't withstand his bombardment, so how did this person manage to defend against it?

"I am Olaf, the Mountain Dragon Slayer!"

Olaf grinned, pointed to the distant mountains, and said, "See those endless mountain ranges over there? My body is as hard as they are! Your machines are indeed powerful, but even the strongest machines can't budge me an inch!"

Unlike Kira, Silver, being a machine race, has a more rational fighting style. He doesn't rush in recklessly, but first uses a series of probing attacks to measure his opponent's data, and then adjusts his fighting style based on the data.

At this moment, deep within his eyes, countless programs were running, analyzing the magical fluctuations flowing from the opponent's body, the changes in their muscles, the personality revealed in their tone, and so on, and finally came up with the most suitable countermeasure.

"The strongest machine? What nonsense are you talking about? That was just clearing out inventory. Those were long-obsolete, defective products. They weren't even worthy of being called the strongest, let alone a basic attack!!"

When it comes to trash talk, Silver is just as good as his opponent.

"What did you say?" Olaf asked in surprise upon hearing Silver's words.

At the same time, a piercing metallic scraping sound seemed to echo in the air...

Olaf looked up at the sound and found that hundreds of sharp swords had suddenly appeared around him, surrounding him completely. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even guns and cannons can't do anything to me, let alone swords?"

However, before he could be smug for long, he saw a sharp blade flying towards him as if tearing through space.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... hiss hiss hiss hiss...

"Ugh—!"

With a few soft sounds, Olaf was immediately bleeding profusely, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground!

"This is your Dragon Slayer Magic? It's utterly pathetic!" Silver chuckled, looking at the results from the analysis of the magical particle fluctuations on the other party's body in the mechanical program. "This research institute has five Dragon Slayer Mages, including myself. Did you think I couldn't create a weapon specifically designed to deal with Dragon Slayer Mages?"

Silver slightly raised his hand, his posture like that of a knight who could freely wield his weapon. The "Dragon Slayer Blades" hung in the air in a row, their blades aimed at the burly man lying on the ground, ready to strike.

"Indeed, the fact that you don't get motion sickness is somewhat surprising to me, but since we're all using the power of dragons, no matter how different we are, the methods we use are ultimately the same!" Silver's tone remained calm. "Even if you're not human, I could defeat a real mountain dragon!"

Silver swung his sword downwards with force, and the sword fell like a thunderstorm, the powerful kinetic energy stirring up a storm and dust!

Boom boom boom! ! !

After a while, the battle returned to calm.

"Huff... Hah... How long has it been... I can't even remember the last time I was injured... Coming along this time was definitely the right decision, Ishgar's mages... are indeed very strong!!!"

Olaf's voice rang out again from the smoke and dust.

Silver was not surprised at all. In his eyes, the other party's vital signs had not disappeared, and had even become stronger. But he still mocked, "Not dead yet? Looks like you're not as weak as I thought!"

"My power comes from the mountain dragon! The word 'mountain' represents not only an unyielding defensive force, but also an irresistible suppressive power, and... the power to grow stronger by consuming it!"

Silver's eyes lit up: "Oh? You just said... that eating can make you stronger?"

"That's right!"

Olaf slowly stood up, raised the "Dragon Slayer Blade" in his hand to his mouth, opened his mouth wide, bit down with a crunch, chewed it, and swallowed it. "I am different from any other Dragon Slayer Mage. Others can only eat one type of food, but I can eat anything! And as long as I eat it, I can gain powerful strength in a short time. The higher the quality of the food, the more power I gain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Olaf's aura surged instantly, and his body seemed to swell. At the same time, a yellowish-brown magic power covered his entire body, which was visible to the naked eye: "I have been using Mountain Dragon Slayer Magic for twenty years, and I have never encountered a limit! The most I have ever eaten was an entire mountain!"

Silver's gaze towards Olaf instantly changed. If before he only regarded Olaf as firewood that could be discarded at will, now he saw him as a machine worth studying!

"Hmph, hahaha... Eats everything, gets stronger the more it eats? What a peculiar ability! But I'll say it again: the power of machinery is beyond your imagination! Even if you were a mountain range, I could raze you to the ground!"

……

"The Abomination Tail of the Evil Dragon!"

"The Wings of Despair of the Evil Dragon!"

"The evil dragon's... ugh!"

The dark power, like mimicry magic, transformed into the claws, teeth, tail, wings, and scales of a dragon, constantly attacking Kira, but Kira was able to dodge them effortlessly each time.

"That's it? That's it? This is the evil dragon that can manipulate emotions? It's too weak!"
