A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Gray: "Shut up!"

Lucy: "Not bad!"

Erza: "I think the Ice Warrior is pretty good!"

The three spoke at the same time, then looked at each other for two seconds before turning away.

Kira felt as if they had exchanged a thousand words in that instant.

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Speaking of which, I have a question. Legend has it that hearing the sound of Lalabai's flute will cause death. Will the user be affected?"

Who would know about something like that?

"Since there are such records, someone must have used it. Wasn't it recorded at the time?"

This question seemed a bit beyond their scope. Neither of the other two, besides Lucy, were avid readers, but even Lucy didn't know the answer, so the four fell into a brief silence…

Should we give it a try?

"Are you an idiot? How could you do this?!" ×3

"But that means they won't discover the flute has been switched until the very last moment, right?" Kira gave a kind smile. "How pitiful!"

……

"What did you say? Someone is provoking us in Kunuki? Who is it?"

In the Iron Forest, Erigor was furious as he looked at his men, their faces covered in fist bumps, who came to report the news.

"It's 'Fairy Tail'!!!"

How many of them are there?

"One...one..."

"You mean, with so many of you, you got beaten up like this by one person, and you still have the nerve to come back?"

"Lord Erigor... uh..."

Before he could finish speaking, invisible, sharp wind blades slashed dozens of wounds on the poor extra's body. Blood spurted out, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Fairy Tail? Good! I'll start with you guys!" Erigor turned around, carrying his scythe, and flew towards Kunuki.

Meanwhile, Kageyama, unaware that the Lalabai in his hand had already been switched, headed towards the hotel. He had originally planned to immediately board the train to Kunuki to meet up with his companions and report back to their leader, Eric. However, since there were no more trains running that day, he could only return to the hotel to rest first.

After a relaxing bath that relieved the fatigue of the past few days, Kageyama drifted off to sleep, clutching his wooden flute.

In his dream, he was appreciated by the boss for bringing back Lalabai. Erigor completed his plan, killing all the guild leaders of the magic guilds at the regular meeting. Iron Forest became one of the most famous dark guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, and even became one of the Four Emperors alongside the Iron Triangle of the Balam Alliance.

And he, Kageyama, finally got his due, becoming a famous figure in the Dark Guild, getting whatever he wanted.

"That felt so good!"

Chapter 34 Natsu VS Erikor

At Kunuki Railway Station, there were nearly a hundred mages from the Iron Forest. At this moment, they had bumps of varying sizes on their faces, wounds of varying depths on their bodies, and wails of varying pitches coming from their mouths.

But they all fell to the ground and were unable to get up again for a short time.

"How can this person be so strong..."

"He actually took us all by himself..."

"This level of heat..."

"It's the legendary Fire Dragon King from Fairy Tail..."

"He's no match at all. It seems only Lord Erigor himself can defeat him..."

Natsu sat on the steps of the train station to rest, waiting for an even stronger opponent to arrive.

Despite the battle, Natsu was still clean, not even a speck of dust on the white scarf Igneel had given him. These guys from the Iron Forest were too weak; they couldn't even hold their own in the usual warm-up brawls in the guild.

"Erza and the others are so slow, and that guy named Erigor isn't here either!"

Harpy replied while eating his fish, "Exactly!"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the people lying on the ground were almost blown away.

"This feeling is that the boss has arrived..."

"Kid, you'd better get your act together!"

"Lord Eligoll will not let you get away with this!"

Sensing something, Natsu looked up and saw a tall, thin, ugly man with long bangs descending from the sky carrying a large scythe: "So you're the one who hit my men?"

Natsu's eyes gradually brightened. Although it was agreed beforehand that this person would be handed over to Erza, what could he do when everyone else was not around?

Laughing as he stood up, Natsu's hand ignited with flames once more: "That's right, I am Natsu of Fairy Tail!"

Different times, different places, the same two people clashing for the first time.

Erico hovered in the air, a habit he often used to travel by wind ever since he learned the magic of the wind.

Flying is a dream almost etched into the genes of every human being. Even in other worlds, there are people who fantasize about freely roaming the world.

Eligoll liked this feeling, not because he longed for the blue sky and white clouds above him, nor for so-called freedom or dreams, but simply because doing so made him feel superior, as a boss who was high above and in control of everything.

Looking around, he saw his underlings lying on the ground, unconscious, but that didn't diminish his sense of superiority.

See? You're all trash, that's why you're crawling on the ground. I'm stronger than you, that's why I'm high above you.

Even Eric Gor himself might not be able to explain this feeling, but he knew that he enjoyed the pleasure that flowed almost from his toes to his hair.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

I must kill this brat to demonstrate my status and power, and to vent the blood boiling within me.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept through, and wind blades formed a tornado that completely surrounded the entire train station.

Don't worry about those underlings; there are plenty of villains to choose from, and if they die, just recruit more. The Iron Forest doesn't need those useless trash. Don't worry about those ordinary people either; they'll never become your stumbling blocks, and they'll always bow down to your power. It doesn't matter if they die.

Why did Fairy Tail attack my people?

Just in case, Erigor decided to find out why the other party had come to attack. It was too coincidental that a legitimate guild would declare war on him at this time. Could they have already found out about Lalabai?

It's all Kageyama's fault for being so slow and indecisive; the Lalabai still hasn't arrived. If the news really leaks out, then he absolutely cannot be forgiven.

Natsu, however, didn't think too much about it and asked directly, "So you're the ones trying to get Lalabai, and you've set your sights on the Regular Meeting, right?"

The news did leak out. Could there be a traitor in the guild?

Ericoer's heart sank, and his expression turned serious: "Where did you get this information from?"

This is tantamount to admitting it.

"Hehe~" Natsu chuckled, "Looks like I was right, Happy!"

With a tacit understanding, Happy grabbed Natsu and flew straight into the sky, heading towards Erigor.

"Fire Dragon's... Iron Fist!"

With a loud shout, Natsu's entire right hand was wreathed in flames. The burning power, combined with his already strong fist, made the attack even more powerful. Before he could react or defend, the fiery fist slammed heavily into Erigor's arrogant face!

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, Natsu's opening move in battle, caught Erigor off guard and knocked him down!

boom!!

His body crashed to the ground like an arrow, the powerful impact creating a large crater. The crater then cracked irregularly outwards from where he landed, sending pebbles of varying sizes flying and scattering around the feet of the onlookers.

"What?!" ×N

The Iron Forest extras, who were still conscious, all exclaimed in surprise.

"You bastard!" As the dust settled, Eligor struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from his mouth. "I'll cut you to pieces!!!"

Faced with Erik's rage, Natsu simply smiled and uttered his usual declaration of war: "I'm fired up!"

……

"Attention passengers, we are approaching Kunuki Station. Please fasten your seatbelts and be careful to avoid falling..."

"Attention passengers..."

"We're here." Erza stuck her head out of the window. The strong wind outside made her long red hair fly wildly, but Erza didn't even blink.

Don't ask why train windows can be opened; it's just how it is in the world of comics...

After getting off the train and entering the platform, I found that because there were mages fighting there, the ordinary people around had already run away. Those were just extras lying on the ground, and judging from their injuries, they were caused by Natsu's fire.

"Natsu would target them, so these people are probably from the Iron Forest," the group speculated.

The wind at the station was howling, making a "whooshing" sound in the air. The irregular airflow almost lifted Erza's skirt. As for Lucy... oh, she was wearing shorts, what a pity.

Kira closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings. A piercing whistling sound came from the wind from time to time, and the air was filled with the scorching heat of flames. Clearly, the battle between Natsu and Erigor had begun.

"This commotion must mean Natsu made his move, right?" Gray, who was closest to Natsu, said this. Sure enough, the person who knew him best was his rival.

Erza nodded: "Most likely. Although I trust Natsu, let's get there as soon as possible."

Kira said calmly, "Don't worry too much, Happy is here too, isn't he?"

Lucy: "..."

To outsiders, Kira might have thought he was expressing confidence in Happy and Natsu, but Erza and Gray, who had fought each other since childhood, knew very well that Kira... was just making sarcastic remarks.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire is fueled by the wind. Although Natsu and Erik Gor are enemies, the power of fire and wind complement each other. As long as the two of them continue to use magic, the hot wind they generate will make people outside sweat profusely.

"Natsu is inside! We need to hurry in and help him!"

Kira laughed, "Although I don't think Natsu needs our help, stealing kills is quite fun!"

The four ran towards the platform. The closer they got, the hotter and drier the air became. Just as they were about to reach it, they heard Natsu shout, "Dragon Slayer Secret Technique, Crimson Lotus Blade!!!"

A blazing flame blade erupted from the top of the gale, and the scorching air instantly swept through the entire train station. With a move like that, the opponent should be finished, right?

It's highly likely that he's lost his head too. Indeed, if the storyline weren't padded out, Natsu's strength would have remained consistently high!

However, when they got closer, they found that not only was Natsu panting heavily, but even Erigor had not been taken down yet.

At this moment, Natsu, well... although he wasn't seriously injured, he looked rather disheveled. After all, the wind blades had torn his clothes in the battle, and Happy was watching the battlefield not far behind him.
