A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Could this man's body be incredibly strong? Harder than the earth and mountains?!

"She's got some skills... no wonder she became the president..."

"How did that guy do that? I didn't see it clearly at all!"

"It must be related to his dragon-slaying magic, right?"

"But what attribute could allow one to block Kurnuki's slash so easily?"

Dispel and the others were amazed by Jogg-Leyson's inexplicable methods, but even Natsu and Wendy, the two Dragon Slayer Mages, couldn't figure out his abilities. In the end, everyone turned their attention to Kira.

Kira, what do you think?

"All I know is that I should do something very important right now!"

"What's so important?"

The group turned around and looked...

On the vast, open plain, a giant parasol suddenly opened, blocking the intense sunlight that shone directly down, creating an excellent vantage point for watching the battle.

Kira leaned back in the white wooden chair, picked up some fresh fruit from the table beside him with his right hand and put it in his mouth, while holding binoculars in his left hand and peering into the distance at the battle.

"Ah, that feels so good... This is exactly how you should watch people fight!"

"What kind of important thing is this?!" ×N

"Calm down! Calm down!" Kira waved his hand casually, but his gaze did not leave the battlefield in the distance. "I only know that Jorg Lysen is one of the 'Four Beast Dragons,' but I don't know exactly what his abilities are."

"Four Beasts??" Natsu tilted his head in confusion, clearly not knowing what these were.

Fortunately, at times like these, he usually has the knowledgeable and considerate Lucy by his side to give him a lesson: "Speaking of the Four Beasts, they are the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, the four legendary divine beasts that govern the four directions, right?"

Erza crossed her arms and nodded: "That's right! So if 'Four Beast Dragons' refers to his possession of the corresponding Dragon Slayer attributes, then it should be the four elements of wood, fire, water, and metal."

Natsu exclaimed in surprise, "Does that mean he has four types of Dragon Slayer Magic?! How is that possible?! It's unbelievable that he can use multiple Dragon Slayer Magic."

"Didn't you also consume Laxus's magic and transform yourself into a lightning dragon?"

“That’s different!” Natsu replied matter-of-factly. “The Thunderfire Dragon Mode is just me simulating that state with magic power; it’s not like I directly gained a second attribute!”

Gray glanced at Natsu and then asked a very constructive question: "That old man, is it because he ate four dragons and gained four different abilities that he's called the 'Four Beast Dragons'?!"

Just when the group thought their guess was close to the correct answer, Kira suddenly spoke up: "Why can't it be something else? For example, the dragon he ate was nicknamed 'Four Beast Dragons'!"

In fact, Kira's reasoning was quite simple: a dragon that uses 'space magic' can be called 'Azure Dragon'; a dragon that uses 'doll magic' can be called 'White Tiger Dragon'; a dragon that uses 'clothing magic' can be called 'Emerald Dragon'; a dragon that uses lightning magic can be called 'Yellow Dragon'; so why can't the 'Four Beast Dragons' be dragons that only have one type of magic?

To prove this, we need to know two things: First, whether Jorg Lysen ate multiple dragon meats; second, whether eating different types of dragon meat would grant him dragon-slaying magic with the properties of those meats.

Under normal circumstances, as the guild master with so many Dragon Slayer mages under his command, Jorg Lysen must have hunted quite a few dragons. It's impossible that he wouldn't have eaten any of them, right? But if he ate them all and gained the corresponding power, why does he only call himself 'Four Beasts' instead of 'Five Beasts,' 'Six Beasts,' or even 'Seven Beasts' or 'Eight Beasts'? Is it just because the name sounds nice?

So either he only ate dragon meat once, or he was unable to plunder power after eating other dragon meat!

Chapter 428 Four Beast Dragons

Kira believed that Jorg Lysen had only eaten dragon meat once.

This idea sounds incredible, but it's not entirely without basis. Remember when he first appeared in *The Hundred-Year Quest*, he squeezed the juice from the meat on his plate and drank it, then said to his subordinate, the skeletal dragon: "...but I can't forget the taste of dragon I once ate."

Judging from this statement alone, this man had only eaten dragon meat once, and it was probably because of this opportunity that he obtained the magic to slay dragons.

Since humans cannot fight dragons before acquiring Dragon Slayer Magic, his chances of getting a free kill increase dramatically—of course, it's also possible that the former guild master of 'Diabolos' hunted him down.

As for his solo hunt of the Thunder Dragon King Alexon thirty years ago—which, according to the current timeline, should be more than twenty years ago—and his subsequent death by the Moon God Dragon with a single slap in the "Hundred-Year Quest" arc...

If he hadn't taken advantage of the Thunder Dragon King, and if his strength hadn't decreased so much, then the most likely possibility is that the Dragon Slayer Magic he gained after consuming the 'Four Beast Dragons' had an attribute that maximized magic resistance but severely weakened physical resistance!

"Dispel, is the slash considered a magic attack or a physical attack?"

"Are you kidding me? It's a physical attack, of course!"

"Huh?!"

Kira's expression froze instantly, then his features scrunched up as he thought: Could it be that I've been analyzing things wrong all this time? Could it be that Jogor Lysen is really just a Dragon Slayer Mage with four elemental attributes?

"Um... are you sure?! Should we think about it again?"

"I already said it's a physical attack! Trust me! I'm a professional!"

Dispel frowned, raised his voice several octaves, and his expression showed clear displeasure, while one hand stealthily reached for the fruit plate next to Kira.

In the distance, the battle between the man and the dragon had gradually reached its climax.

"You are indeed a formidable enemy!"

Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, Kurnuki showed no signs of frustration; instead, he praised his opponent.

This was the first time he had encountered such an enemy. His slashes did not weaken at all in the air, but they always lost all power the moment they hit the opponent, and he couldn't even lift the opponent's cloak.

"He's the one who's going to kill you too!"

With a loud shout, George Leisen stomped his feet hard, instantly cracking the ground into two craters. He then leaped into the air at an incredible angle, kicking up dust several meters high.

That massive body displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its appearance in just a few breaths. Like a black lightning bolt, he was above Kurnuki's head in the blink of an eye, then raised his right arm to gather strength. As his fist clenched, the muscles in his right arm instantly solidified, and the bluish-red veins were clearly visible.

His powerful aura, along with the momentum from leaping from the ground, caused his cloak to billow high in the wind, and his thick, bushy hair and beard to sway gently in the breeze.

"The Four Beast Dragons'... Crushing Fist!!"

Doom!

A loud explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The powerful blow struck Kurnuki squarely in the back before he could react, and the dragon cried out in pain.

The force of the punch exploded in the sky, creating a visible airflow that swept for dozens of meters, whipping up a gale that swept in all directions and engulfed Kira and the others.

Kira hadn't expected the battle to turn so suddenly, and he shuddered involuntarily: "Hiss... this orange is so sour... ah, no, that punch looks painful!"

Dispel gasped, "That punch must have taken decades of practice, right? Can Kurnuki handle it... This orange is definitely sour!"

Unlike the two who enjoyed watching the show, the others were all hot-tempered. Happy rode Natsu and charged out first, followed closely by Erza and the others.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to scold the two of them: "You two still have the mood to eat oranges here? Aren't you going to go help? Kurnuki is our friend, right?!"

Even though they hadn't spent much time together, Kurnuki had already earned the approval of several people. In their eyes, this dragon—who was unassuming, pursued the way of the sword, and usually kept to himself—was undoubtedly a good dragon.

Once everyone had disappeared into the distance, Kira muttered, "That sounds nice, but why did everyone steal a slice of orange before they went by..."

Even so, Kira silently packed up the table, chairs, fruit bowl, and parasol, preparing to go help. After all, Culnuki was a friend of Fairy Tail, and his companions couldn't stand idly by while he was being bullied!

Besides, I might need him when I travel far away in the future.

On the other side, Kournuki was caught off guard and took a punch from Jorg Lysen, which knocked him to the ground.

The dragon's original weight, combined with this devastating blow, created a crater tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide. Instantly, the earth cracked, rocks shattered, dust billowed, and yellow sand obscured visibility.

Whoosh! Thump!

Jorg Lysen landed with a thud, adding another layer of yellow sand to the already dusty battlefield.

Seeing the enormous crater before him, Jorg Lysen burst into arrogant laughter: "How about that? Now you know how powerful the 'Four Beast Dragons' are..."

Suddenly, several crackling sounds came from the ground. Three sharp black slashes came up from underground, heading straight for George Lysen and abruptly interrupting his unfinished taunts.

The black slash, imbued with the power of the underworld, looked like three deadly scythes simultaneously unleashed by the Grim Reaper, meant to drag this human into the underworld and condemn him to eternal damnation.

But this man, worthy of being the current leader of the dragon hunters, showed no sign of panic even under these circumstances. Instead, he grinned maliciously and exclaimed, "The waves of the Four Beast Dragons!!"

As the magic was cast, the sword light of death vanished without a trace, like a drop of water falling into a vast ocean or grains of sand disappearing into a desert, without causing the slightest ripple!

But Jorg Lysen did not relax at all, because he sensed that new attacks were coming from five directions: his left, right, left rear, right rear, and above him.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

"Ice-forged Ice Demon Sword!"

"The Heavenly Dragon's Claw!"

"Celestial Robe - Talos Form - Earth Pulse!"

"Black Feather - Moon Flash!"

Natsu's fist, Gray's ice spear, Lucy's super strength, Wendy's wind blade, and Erza's iron sword—five completely different attacks arrived simultaneously, completely trapping Jogg-Rayson from five directions.

"They actually dared to fight me for a dragon? What a bunch of arrogant brats!"

These provocative and mocking words fueled the discontent of the attackers, who couldn't help but add three more points of magic power to their hands, making the magic even more powerful!

“What…so there are two little dragons here…” Jorg Lysen chuckled, his figure suddenly changing.

In the blink of an eye, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed Natsu's fiery fist. The raging flames that had been wrapped around it instantly dissipated. Then, he turned his palm into a fist and smashed it into Natsu's stomach.

Then, he turned his body to avoid the ice spear flying from the right; Lucy's wave attack, enhanced by the Taurus Star Spirit Robe, was completely devoured the moment it reached his feet; Wendy's wind blades dissipated completely two meters away.

Finally, he raised his right hand again, using only his bare hands to block Erza's sword blade, and sent her flying!

"The Roar of the Four Beast Dragons!!!"

With the unleashing of yet another Dragon Slayer move, an invisible energy wave instantly spread out, blasting Erza and the others, who were originally planning to launch another attack, back several meters.

Just as he was about to press his advantage and crush Erza and the others in one fell swoop, two blades faster than light flashed by! Before he could react, he heard two emotionless voices ring in his ears.

"One-Sword Style: Dragon Slayer!!"

"Netherworld Style: Netherworld Purgatory Slash!!"

*Pfft!*

Sizzle—!

Two streams of blood spurted from George Leisen's body!

Chapter 429 Could there be a dragon-slaying magic...?

These two sword marks are enough to be the two longest scars on Jorg Lysen's body.

One cut, from the left chest to the right abdomen, was made by Dispel with his own sword; the other cut, from the right chest to the left abdomen, was made by Kurnuki in human form using another sword that Dispel threw to him.

The sword marks left by the two men formed a large "X".
