A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

From day one, Kira made this assessment of the finance minister, and for five days in a row, it remained unchanged.

Jura was puzzled: "Why do you feel that way?"

“Indeed, I am also puzzled by this,” Princess Emerald echoed. “This finance minister is very prestigious in Bosque and acts with gentleness. Perhaps it is a bit rude to say this, but I think he is more suitable to be king than the current one.”

Kira chuckled and said, "What can a pig-brain like yours possibly see?"

However, he certainly wouldn't say this outright, but explained, "His eyes are like those of an old fox; my intuition tells me he's not a simple person!"

Princess Emerald was taken aback, then thought for a moment and asked, "His eyes? Wasn't he always squinting?"

"That's why I said he wasn't as simple as he seemed! From what I've observed, he's also a mage! There are only two days left in this friendly diplomatic period, so Princess and Jurasan should not let their guard down!"

"I understand!" Although he didn't know why Kira was worried, Jura listened attentively.

However, Princess Emerald was still completely confused: "The Kingdom of Bosk places great importance on magic. Even the king is a mage. It's not surprising that he knows magic, is it?"

Inhale...exhale...

"Um... I'm going out for some fresh air..."

The room was filled with an atmosphere of stupidity that made it hard to breathe.

Kira changed out of his guard uniform and wandered around the capital of Bosk. Compared to Crocus, the magical atmosphere here was much stronger, and traces of magic could be seen in almost every shop.

The Kingdom of Fiore maintains a clear separation between the magic guild and the royal family, but this is not the case in the Kingdom of Bosk, where the guild and royal family have a close relationship that can even influence the succession to the throne. This is mainly due to the different national circumstances of the two countries—Fiore is the gateway to Ishgar, and the magic guild is of paramount importance!

Kira walked into a magic shop and casually began to observe. Of course, he was mainly looking at the shop's decor; after receiving the reward for this mission, it would be time to renovate his own Hope House.

"Excuse me, mage, is there anything I can help you with?" The shop assistant greeted him, addressing him as a mage, which was quite common in this country.

Kira's eyes lit up. This waitress's figure looked amazing. Should he find one for his own shop?

"I just want to take a look!"

As expected of the magic shop in the royal capital, they have so many items! But... why do these all look a little familiar?

Kira looked around several times and discovered that 30% of the items here were actually sold from his own shop! In addition, there were several other items that were Silver's masterpieces.

"Where did you buy these magical machines?"

The waiter who was called over was taken aback at first, then returned a polite smile and gave the expected reply: No comment!

The afternoon passed by idly, and as the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the royal capital, Kira finally realized his dereliction of duty and became even happier!

"It's so comfortable to just laze around and do nothing all day!"

Just as Kira was humming a tune and skipping back to the diplomatic embassy, ​​something unexpected happened!

The sky was dark, the road was remote, and orcs blocked the way. Five strange creatures, neither human nor beast, lined up to surround Kira. Their undisguised killing intent, carried on the night wind, evoked several chilling howls.

"Finally showing up? It wasn't for nothing that I used myself as bait; at least a few fish have been caught!" Kira complained as he pulled out his magical item, the "Remote Communicator." "Jurasan, Princess, can you hear me? This is Kira! The enemy has indeed appeared!"

A few seconds later, Princess Emerald's voice came through the intercom: "Kirasan, are you alright on your own? Do you need Kirasan to come and help?"

"Princess, please rest assured! I will take care of it soon. Your safety is temporarily in the care of Jiulasang."

Hmm? It seems like Jura was the only one protecting them all afternoon? Oh well, that's not important!

"Leave it to me!" a familiar, deep voice rang out. "I will ensure that nothing happens to the princess!"

"Oh!! That's reassuring, Jurasan! By the way, do you have any enemies over there?"

"No, the other side wouldn't dare to make a move so openly inside the diplomatic embassy."

"I guessed so! By the way, Your Highness, shouldn't this be considered an attack on diplomatic personnel and damage to the friendship between our two countries?"

"Huh?! This... I guess... it counts?"

"Hmm! In that case, I can use all my strength without any problem, right?"

Inside the diplomatic compound, after hearing the question coming through the earpiece, Princess Emerald and Jura fell silent, their thoughts once again turning to Fairy Tail and the legend of Kira.

After a long pause, Jura spoke into the headset: "Lord Kira, if possible, please try to control the situation and not make too much of a fuss—I mean, the noise of the battle, you understand?"

Seeing Jura's expression suddenly change, Princess Emerald's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What did Lord Kira say?"

"Uh... he's dead!"

Chapter 381 Orcs

"Honestly! I've already said that my magic is very subtle, so why do some people still not believe me?"

Kira put away the intercom, looked at the enemy in front of him, and showed an excited expression. "Well then, before we start fighting, let me ask you politely, are you still conscious?"

"Roar……"

The beast blocking Kira let out several low growls, as if to say, "Boy, your time to die is coming."

The hedgehog-man, with its back covered in sharp spikes and its piercing eyes, appears to be a speed-type orc.

The crocodile-man has a long snout and a thick tail. Its physique is robust and it looks very powerful. Kira has no doubt that its snout can bite through iron blocks and its tail can sweep through steel pillars. It is clearly a power-type beastman.

The bat-man has two black, withered wings on its back, red eyes, and fangs. When it opens its mouth, you can see a few drops of purplish-black liquid on its fangs. It seems to be a poison-using orc.

The frogman has webbed fingers, thick green sacs on his back, and a swollen chin like a large balloon. It's hard to tell whether he uses water, wind, or poison.

The last one was a werewolf, with black fur, sharp claws, and powerful limbs. It was full of wildness and bloodlust, and the roar came from it. Clearly, this guy was the leader of the five orcs.

"It has a human presence, but it's not a summoned beast; yet it doesn't seem to be receiving magic either. Could it be biotechnology?"

Kira pondered to himself, thinking of biotechnology, and combining it with the magical weapon that had appeared here, he naturally thought of Desizhu, the biochemical researcher in the Dragon Slayer Research Institute.

However, his research focuses on epidemics, or rather, viruses, not on the modification of humans into animals.

The orc didn't answer, but stared intently at Kira, his killing intent growing stronger. This made Kira even more puzzled: "Where did I give myself away? Have I done anything these past few days that made me seem unlike a guard? Or is it that my demeanor is too unique?"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

The orcs seemed unwilling to speak, or perhaps they had already lost the ability to speak. They ignored Kira's question and charged forward in a mad rush!

Kira remained motionless, his feet as steady as a mountain.

The first to launch the attack was Batman, whose wingspan was two meters long and as hard as steel. Yet, when he flew, he seemed weightless and incredibly light, charging straight at Kira.

Despite its speed, the opponent couldn't escape Kira's grasp. He crouched down, narrowly avoiding the attack, and his steel-skinned wings sliced ​​through a stone wall behind him in two.

As soon as Kira crouched down, his crocodile tail and hedgehog needles swept in from the left and right, one powerful and fierce, the other swift as lightning. The combined attack of power and speed was enough to take the lives of most mages.

But how could such an attack possibly hit Kira?

Using the momentum from crouching down, he leaped to the right front, intending to escape the encirclement of the crocodiles and hedgehogs. Just as he was in mid-air, several streams of green frog venom sprayed towards him. Kira didn't know the effects of the venom, but he knew it was best not to touch it.

Being airborne with nowhere to gain leverage is Kira's most frequently used combat tactic.

Not to mention those he frequently clashed with within the guild, even those outside the guild, such as Jellal and Bruno, had all suffered losses from Kira's move. He hadn't necessarily mastered this fighting style to perfection, but he was certainly adept at it in countless variations, and had dozens of ways to counter it.

With his spellcasting and thoughts synchronized, and aided by gravity magic, Kira's body plummeted like a heavy boulder. With a deafening roar, his feet slammed into the ground, creating a crater two arms long. Cracks appeared in the stone slabs, and dust flew in the wind.

pat!

The venom landed on the ground, creating several irregular small holes in the stone surface, while making a hissing sound and emitting wisps of pale blue mist, indicating extreme danger.

But Kira's actions weren't over yet, because there was still one enemy. The werewolf had somehow gotten to Kira's side and seemed to have been preparing for a long time, as if it had known all along that Kira would land there. The werewolf swung its claws at Kira.

Boom! ! !

With a muffled thud, the three streaks of blood-red light under the moonlight came to an abrupt halt!

Jila stretched out his left arm to block, steadily parrying the werewolf's arm. No matter how hard the werewolf tried, even when its feet sank several inches into the ground, leaving claw marks several centimeters long, it could not move forward even half a step.

Kira suddenly exerted his strength, throwing the werewolf more than ten meters away. He clapped his hands and mocked, "Is that all the strength you have? You're not even as strong as Elfman's punch!"

The werewolf did not answer, and the other four-limbed beastmen pounced again: the bat's wings suddenly shone brightly, and at the same time it opened its fangs; the hedgehogs huddled together and used a move called "Meatball Needle Chariot", piercing the ground along the way with a dense array of tiny holes.

The crocodile also opened its mouth wide, revealing the sharp teeth hidden within. Its bite force was astonishing; compared to its tail, its teeth were its primary weapon. The poison frog no longer sprayed venom but instead used a jet of water. This move was faster, more concentrated, and more dangerous!

Four orcs attacked Kira from four directions, each using flying, rolling, climbing, and jumping movements. They not only blocked all escape routes in front, behind, left, right, and above, but also unleashed their strongest attack, attempting to end the battle in an instant.

Then, the battle ended in an instant.

Faced with this troublesome encirclement, Kira did not move at all, not even his eyes moved. In the blink of an eye, his magic power was transformed into magic, which turned into four invisible gravity fields!

When the orcs were three meters away from Kira, four terrifying gravity fields suddenly appeared, pressing down on them like four heavy stones.

The bat was instantly pinned to the ground, its wings hanging down, unable to lift itself; the frog, affected by its size, had its chin droop uncontrollably, and its limbs nearly broke; the crocodile was least affected, only unable to open its mouth, but given its bite force, it was unknown whether its gums could withstand it; the hedgehog lay on its back, all its quills embedded in the ground, leaving only its defenseless belly exposed.

With a single move, the four orcs stopped moving and could no longer move, not even a single hair on their bodies could be lifted—even though they had no hair.

The werewolf disregarded his teammates, roared, and charged forward again.

Since the opponent didn't care about his teammates, Kira stopped holding back and doubled the gravity. With a loud explosion, the four orcs were crushed into pieces of flesh, bleeding profusely.

At the same time, multitasking.

"Penetrating!"

With a soft shout, a white beam of magic shot out from Kira's fingertip, piercing the werewolf's tough, iron-like hide and leaving a fist-sized hole in its abdomen. The beam continued its trajectory for dozens of meters, piercing through boulders and trees in its path as easily as tofu, leaving gaping holes that were difficult to conceal.

The werewolf collapsed to the ground with a thud. Kira didn't kill it, leaving it with a breath.

"If you can still speak, reveal who's behind this!"

"Roar..." The werewolf's eyes held no wisdom, not even the fear of death, only pure killing intent.

"Looks like he's completely lost his mind. It's truly pathetic to be human like this!" Kira sighed regretfully, clenched his fist, and unleashed a shattering spell. "Go and become a Buddha!"

With a loud bang, the werewolf was blown to pieces, leaving behind a red mosaic on the ground.

The battle ended quickly, the whole process took less than two minutes, and the clothes weren't even dirty.

The voices of patrolling soldiers came from afar: "What's that sound over there? Come with me and see!"

Sensing the footsteps getting closer, Kira turned and left without looking back.

……

In the diplomatic quarters room, Kira saw Princess Emerald sitting in the main seat as soon as he entered, along with Jura and the diplomats on either side.

"Kirasan, you're back?"

"I'm back!" Kira nodded casually and said to the accompanying diplomat, "Diplomat, we might need your help handling the aftermath of things outside!"

"I told you not to call me a 'diplomat'! Call me..."
