A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

It's obvious that the "demon" Hades is referring to isn't the guy over there who's currently fighting Natsu and Gray.

After a brief period of testing Kira with words, magic, and fists, Hades no longer regarded Kira merely as a prodigy junior, but as an enemy he needed to fight with all his might.

So he decided to unleash his ultimate move.

"Dance with the demons!" Hades roared, his hands forming a strange gesture as his magic surged. "Inner Magic, Divine Punishment!"

The magic of the underworld originates from the Book of Zeref, and its core idea is that as long as the user has enough magic power, they can create demons from matter.

Hades has studied dark magic for many years and has achieved extraordinary results in this field.

With a sudden whoosh, Kira was surprised to find that the surrounding magic had changed, becoming viscous and heavy. An oppressive force, like Mount Tai pressing down, appeared on the battlefield, causing the sand and stones to tremble, the sea to surge, and the wind to howl incessantly.

The next moment, three tall, strong, black-bodied artificial demons with strange purple magic patterns emerged from the sand, sea, and gale in front of them.

The demons exuded a strong aura of evil, cold and dark, like a bottomless well or an icy cave in the dead of winter, capable of mercilessly devouring people.

Kira carefully examined the four beings before him, who only knew how to obey orders and kill, and said, "You only created three demons? Are you underestimating my performance? I saw it all when I arrived; you released quite a few earth demons during the battle! You should have been able to create many more demons, right?!"

"Of course I'm not underestimating you!" Hades stared at Kira, his expression unwavering. "You should understand the principle of sacrificing quantity for quality!"

Indeed, those clod demons didn't look strong; under the combined attack of shattering, thorns, and fists, they couldn't last long before dissipating. But these few in front of us were clearly much more resilient than the clod demons!

Several whooshing sounds filled the air, signaling a life-or-death battle.

Under Hades' command, the demons charged forward, forming a triangle that surrounded Kira, their eyes blazing menacingly. Their狰狞 faces and fierce gazes seemed intent on tearing him apart.

"Let's do it!" Kira took a deep breath, gathering magic in his hands to form two orbs of light, one white and one gold.

Hades was utterly shocked by what he saw: "You can actually use two completely different spells at the same time?! How is that possible?!"

Over the centuries, countless geniuses in the demonic path have emerged.

A mage with exceptional talent can combine multiple spells into a single spell; others can rely on a solid foundation and skillful technique to unleash several, or even a dozen, spells in quick succession.

But no matter how much magic is integrated or how fast the spell is cast, these mages can only use one type of magic at a time!

It's unheard of for someone like Kira to use two types of magic simultaneously, so it's no wonder Hades was so surprised.

"This is the purest magic, the ultimate attack..." Kira clasped his hands together, his right palm glowing white as it faced Hades, then raised his left hand, glowing golden, to his chest. "And defense!"

Hades is not Kira, so he wouldn't ask questions like "which would win if attack and defense collide?" He simply commands the demons to launch attacks.

Whoosh!

The first demon's attack was swift, as fast as the wind, leaving no trace, but Kira still managed to catch a glimpse of its movement and quickly raised his left hand to block it.

Bang!

A dull thud sounded from about thirty centimeters away from the left palm.

The demon's attack did not land on Kira, but stopped abruptly in mid-air, because the shield was not Kira's hand, but a golden light conjured by magic.

Missing its first attack, the demon immediately withdrew its hand and spat out a bunch of invisible wind blades, attacking Kira from all directions!

But the golden light in Kira's left palm quickly spread out, hovering around Kira's side, and would transform into a shield to block any attack that came.

This seemed to be the most impenetrable shield in the world, its defense as solid as a rock. No matter how tricky the angle or how high the frequency of the demon's attacks, they could not harm Kira in the slightest.

Kira seized the opportunity, moved swiftly, and brought his sword to his right hand, slashing down at the demon.

But a dark shadow flashed before their eyes, and a second demon blocked the hand strike.

The hand strike passed through the demon's body without any hindrance, landing on the ground and carving a trench several meters deep, which then spread outwards with the residual force.

"A water-like texture, is it the same constitution as Juvia?" Kira rolled his eyes. "Please, this kind of setting is so overused, it's become a cliché."

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the demon that had been cut in half came back together and regained its vitality.

The first demon was wind, the second demon was water, so the third must be sand and stone! Hmm? Where's the third demon?

Before Kira could find the third demon, he felt a violent tremor beneath his feet.

Underground?!

Kira immediately raised his right foot and stomped it hard on the ground: "Earth Collapse!"

The magic entered the earth, and the ground immediately cracked, rocks rolled, sand flew, and smoke filled the air.

With a deafening roar, Kira's body shot out from the unseen dust and soared into the air. At this moment, he had pure white wings on his back, golden light still wrapped around his entire body, and white light had already spread to his arms.

The Wind Demon chased Kira into the air, but Kira was faster. It swooped down and kicked the Wind Demon into the ground. The Water Demon shot out several thin jets of water, which Kira dodged several times. Just as it was about to retaliate, it suddenly felt a huge shadow envelop it. Looking up, it saw that the Rock Demon had transformed into the Rock Troll.

The giant rock hand swiftly rose and fell, its immense size not causing it any inconvenience, but rather adding to its unstoppable momentum.

Golden light swirled rapidly, blocking the pressure of the giant hand. Before Kira could even catch his breath, two tornadoes formed by wind and water attacked from two other directions. After hitting the golden light, they scattered into even sharper wind blades and water arrows, densely enveloping Kira.

Kira shifted the golden light above his head slightly to his side, intending to strengthen his side defenses while landing under the pressure of the giant hand. However, before he could land, sharp stone pillars suddenly sprang up from the ground with a series of "whoosh" sounds.

Kira: "..."

I suspect these aren't three demons, but three Devil Fruit users! And they're at the level of a Shichibukai to a near-Yonko vice-captain!

Although the changes were rapid, Kira managed to recover. The "Attack" and "Defense" spells were built upon the abundant magical power within him and were in harmony with Word Magic. As long as he continued to increase his magical power output, he could further enhance his Attack and Defense spells.

"drink!!!"

Kira let out a long shout, and the white and gold light suddenly intensified. Visible magic power burst forth from his body. Whether it was the ever-present protective golden light or the white light wrapped around his arms, they all seemed to instantly change from a gaseous state to a liquid state and then to a solid state, undergoing a qualitative change!

"Hmm?" Hades stood on the ground, silently watching this scene. "Still not admitting defeat?"

In mid-air, white magic condensed into a sword and a spear in Kira's hands.

"Holy Sword and Divine Spear!"

The longsword was gleaming, and Hades had no doubt that it could cleave his rock demon in two with a single strike; the pistol had a cool design, but judging from its magic, its power was also extraordinary.

Magic is one thing, attributes are another.

Just like you need to use Haki to deal with nature-type magic, you need to use Holy Magic to deal with demons; power alone is not enough!

Kira slashed with his longsword in his right hand. Although he had never formally studied swordsmanship, every move he made was full of unstoppable power. He had spent a tiny bit of money to have Dispel write a book for him called "Swordsmanship: From Beginner to Expert".

Such swordsmanship is naturally inferior to that of the "Sword Master" counterpart, but it is sufficient to deal with the demon before him.

Several white lights flashed in mid-air, accompanied by clanging sounds, and all the wind blades, water arrows, and enormous rock palms vanished in an instant.

Kira raised the gun with his left hand and lightly tapped it. He had never specifically studied marksmanship, nor had anyone written any marksmanship manual for him, but he had plenty of magic power, so he had plenty of bullets.

The number of magic bullets fired in a single breath was greater than the "black bullets" Hades had previously used, and their power was also greater. The dense white magic bullets blasted the sharp rocks and quicksand on the ground into flat ground.

"It's not over yet!" Kira seemed to be still not satisfied and urged his magic on.

He raised the holy sword high in his right hand, gathered his strength, and then slashed down!

Hold down the trigger button in your left hand, aim, and fire!

The sharp slash wave flew through the air first, instantly cleaving the rock demon in two. A massive torrent of magic followed, blasting the fallen demon into nothingness!

Chapter 350 How Much Hidden Danger Can a Well-Intentioned Joke Leave for the Future?

tread!

Kira landed gracefully, quickly raising his hands to aim his sword and spear at the two demons that had reformed in front of him, while his gaze was fixed on Hades directly in front of him.

"The demons created by magic are useless against me. Do you have any other magic?"

Hades was utterly shocked. Everything had changed in just a few seconds, and he still hadn't processed it: "How is this possible?! My inner magic was ineffective?! How can this be…"

Whoosh! Boom!

Sword strikes and cannon fire flew past Hades from both sides at the same time, blowing his cloak, hair, and beard into the air.

Hades was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw that the surviving wind demons and water demons had also been shattered by the holy sword and blasted into dust by the divine spear. At this moment, they had lost all their vitality, their magic power was dissipating, and their bodies were gradually disappearing into the world.

"Sorry! My hands got tired from staring at you for so long, so I had to take care of them first!" Kira dismissed the Holy Sword and Spear in his hand, removing the "attack" and "defense" spells. "I know your mind is a mess right now, but don't panic! I have even worse news for you!"

“You are different from me. Your powerful magic and longevity are all due to the ‘heart’ of the warship, right?”

Hades's expression changed drastically: "You...you...could it be?!"

Kira revealed a sinister smile: "I already told everyone in the guild about this! Yes, while I was fighting you, Gildarts and the guild master went to your warship and destroyed your heart!! Hahaha!!!"

Just then, an untimely voice came from behind: "Oh! Sorry! We're still here!"

"What?!"

Kira quickly turned around and saw Gildas and Makarov hiding behind a big tree, their heads and half their bodies peeking out, looking at him with embarrassed expressions, like students whose names were called by the teacher.

"What the hell are you doing?! Are you so out of sync with me?! Or are you really that confident in my abilities?! You don't think it's unfair to destroy the opponent's heart, do you?!"

Gildas gave an awkward laugh: "Ahahaha... Sorry! I was just too engrossed in watching."

"what?!"

Makarov sighed, "I never imagined Kira would become so strong! I'm very pleased..."

"Is this the time to feel relieved?!"

Gildas nonchalantly avoided eye contact: "Weren't we injured in the battle just now? Right, Guild Master?"

"Yes, my back still hurts..."

"Keep making things up! Keep making things up!" Kira glared at the two of them, annoyed. "You weren't seriously injured at all!"

While the three were joking around, Hades realized that Kira's plan had not succeeded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems you've planted a spy in the Heart of the Devil as well as in the Gates of Tartaros! Was it Gerald?"

Wow! This scene looks so familiar!

Kira nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right! It's him!"

Hades, with a look that said, "I knew it," coldly said, "I knew that guy couldn't be trusted!"

Kira continued, "After all, for guys like you who hide in the shadows, you have to send someone just as insidious, despicable, cunning, and shameless!"

"..."

"How about it? The magic didn't work. Planning to surrender?"

Hades stubbornly shook his head: "Surrender is impossible! I have studied magic my whole life and have finally glimpsed the traces of the source of the demonic path. I will not stop here!"

His expression gradually turned greedy: "Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more! I've collected all the 'keys to awaken Zeref.' Once I open the Great Magic World, I can obtain the 'Magic of One'!"
