A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

With a roar, the four dragons unleashed their dragon-slaying magic like incendiary bombs from Jorg Lysen's mouth.

Gravity and Roar, two completely different yet equally terrifyingly powerful spells, collided between Kira and Jorg Lysen with unimaginable speed and power, followed by a violent roar that echoed across the entire plain!

boom!!!

Under the astonished gazes of Erza and the other spectators, two enormous balls of magical energy exploded, expanding in the blink of an eye to the size of two or three fairy tails. Accompanied by a violent shaking, the impact of the magic simultaneously obliterated the surrounding scattered rocks, weeds, soil, water droplets, and smoke.

After a long while, the restless magic gradually subsided, the smoke cleared, and the scene in the battle zone was revealed.

Kira and Jogg Raesen stood facing each other at a distance, their expressions serious, their bodies completely still. The ground beneath their feet remained unaffected, but the space between them now presented a different appearance.

Near Kira's side was a huge ravine several meters deep, stretching straight towards Jogg-Raysen, and six or seven meters wide; near Jogg-Raysen's side was a scorched ash road two or three meters wide and several tens of centimeters deep, not unlike the land dragged out by Natsu's 'Roar of the Fire Dragon,' only longer, thicker, and deeper.

At the point where the two spells came into contact, there was a circular area where several meters of ground had been lifted up, and a narrow trench perpendicular to the two spells—clearly, this was caused by the residual force of the two spells colliding.

"Cough cough..."

Natsu and the others never expected that the two would use such powerful magic to clash in their very first move. Even though they had prepared to retreat, they were still blasted by the aftershocks and ended up covered in dust.

"Wh...how did it go? Who won this move?" As soon as she opened her eyes, Lucy couldn't wait to ask.

The question had barely left his mouth when Natsu, Happy, and Gray's voices immediately came through: "What kind of question is that? It's obvious Kira won!"

"That's...that's true..."

Lucy then belatedly realized she had asked a stupid question, 'If they don't even care about Acnologia, what enemy could Kira not handle...?'

"Look at where the magic explosion is!"

Upon hearing Erza's voice, the others unconsciously turned their heads to look, only to find that the place was not in the center of the two people's positions, but closer to Jorg Lysen.

The two people were approximately 7 to 3 away from the center of the explosion, which means...

"Just as I expected! Kira has the upper hand!"

Chapter 431 Crushing Flow Fist Technique

"It's only the first move, yet it has such power..."

Lucy clicked her tongue in amazement and, as always, began to complain.

Natsu gave her a strange look and said, "What are you talking about, Lucy? With Killer's strength, isn't this normal?"

"Uh... well... it's normal, but using magic of this level right from the start, that doesn't seem like Kira's fighting style, does it?"

"Kira's fighting style?" Natsu looked at the others in confusion. "Does he have something like that?"

Gray blinked: "I don't think so... That guy's fighting style is different every time."

"Is...is that so...?"

Lucy laughed awkwardly, "Because when I watched Kira's battles before, I always had the feeling that he was deliberately showing off his magic, so I thought..."

"Is he deliberately showing off his magic?!" Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Happy blurted out, then stared at each other, dumbfounded. A few seconds later…

"Oh yeah! So that's how it is!!"

"Now that you mention it, it's true... I never thought of that before..."

"So this is Kira's fighting style! How interesting!"

"Truly worthy of being Kira!!"

"Lucy is amazing too, she actually figured out Kira's fighting style!"

"..."

"Huh??...Huh??!...Huh?!!!" Lucy was stunned by their reaction. When she came to her senses, her jaw nearly dropped. 'These guys...didn't they notice all this time?!'

Not to mention Lucy, even Wendy and Carla were equally astonished by these clueless guys: 'Natsu and Happy are one thing, but even Erza-san's reaction... just how slow-witted are these people...?!'

An unusual silence fell over the team.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do you all suddenly have those expressions?" Dispel sensed that something was off and asked.

"So it is, and so it is, and so it is..."

"So that's how it is, so that's what happened..."

Dispel suddenly realized, then said calmly, "Isn't this normal? Fighting is supposed to be a process of showing off skills! Rather, it's abnormal to fight solely with the goal of 'defeating the enemy'?"

Lucy: 'She accepted it right away?! And she said it so matter-of-factly?!'

Wendy: 'As expected of Kirasan from another world, is this what they call "isotope compatibility"?!'

Xia Lulu: 'Are all men such boring creatures?'

"I don't understand magic, but it should be similar to swordsmanship! When we swordsmen fight, we also think about how to deliver a powerful and stylish strike..."

Before Dispel could finish speaking, Kurnuki interrupted him: "That's just you! None of the other swordsmen I've met have had such thoughts!"

"Please...please, how many human swordsmen have you even met? I've been called a sword prodigy since I was three or five years old! From Edolas to Aslant, I've encountered all sorts of sword masters over the past ten years..."

Dispel was sweating profusely.

Kurnuki scoffed, "You've lived for less than a fraction of my time!"

Damn it!! I miscalculated!!!

"What...what's going on now? Are we comparing ages? Are we comparing who's older? Does that mean older people will encounter more and stronger swordsmen...?"

I can't be bothered with you.

"Hey... what kind of look is that...?"

Meanwhile, the battle between Kira and Jogg Reisen continues.

"The Roar of the Four Beast Dragons!!"

It is called a "roar," but it is a silent energy fluctuation that cannot be seen or touched. Only when it spreads outward can the powerful destruction caused by this move be seen.

"I was too far away last time, but I can see it clearly this time! This feeling... it really is ultrasound!"

Kira glanced at it, then muttered to himself, "Another attack method that doesn't suit the user at all... although I don't dislike this combination."

Like someone who appears to be a white-haired little girl but is actually an invincible strongwoman and a glutton; or someone who looks like an innocent-looking, big-breasted, bespectacled girl but is actually a serial killer...

This contrast is actually a major characteristic of shonen manga!

However, if the subject of the contrast is a man, it becomes less interesting. If that man is an old and unattractive middle-aged man, then it would be a miracle if it even has an audience.

What? You mean an uncle who can communicate with elves? Is the uncle popular because of this contrast?

"It was that move just now!"

Erza, who was watching from a distance, recognized him at a glance, but at the same time, she also heard Kira's voice and instantly understood, "Ultrasound... Is this also the effect of vibration magic?"

How can we defend against such an attack?

"I don't know... but Kira should have a way!"

The ultrasonic attack seemed like an unstoppable spell, but in Kira's eyes, the changes in its magical power, its propagation speed, and its attack power were all more clearly visible than the most ordinary rock magic.

All they saw was Kira lightly clapping his hands, the magical applause instantly shattering the opponent's roar into an irregular tangled mess of invisible threads. Then, with a powerful leap forward, he passed through the gap in the magic, his body spanning dozens of meters in one breath, arriving in front of Jorg Lysen in the blink of an eye.

"Among the ordinary magical particles scattered everywhere, a group of orderly but frenzied magical particles suddenly intruded. This was more conspicuous than a beautiful woman running naked in the street..."

A simple analogy is the most brutal criticism of the magic that Georg Lysen is so proud of.

When Joger Lysen heard Kira's rant, his reaction was exactly as Kira had expected. He became furious, his face contorted with rage, his beard bristling, and the scars on his body bulging and contracting, making him look grotesque and terrifying.

"You bastard!! The Four Beast Dragons' Crushing Fist!!!"

Dragon Slayer magic wrapped around his entire right arm, and he punched down at the red-haired figure standing in front of him!

Just recently, this punch knocked Kournuki several meters to the ground; now, amplified by his anger, its power is only stronger!

"Hiss... That punch looks tough to take!"

Kira wasn't one to take a beating head-on, so he didn't choose to take the blow directly. Instead, he dodged to the side, but at the same time, he didn't stop casting spells: "You punched me, I'll punch you back. Come see my newly improved magic!"

"Crushing Stream Fist Technique - Heaven-Shattering!!!"

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

George Lysen, whose punch missed its mark, felt everything around him suddenly slow down to an extreme pace. Even the air currents and the weeds on the ground were crystal clear. In his vision, a fist grew closer and larger…

His eyes widened in disbelief, his pupils shrinking to the size of mung beans: "How is this possible...?!"

boom!!!!

"Cough—!!"

With a single punch, the air exploded with a deafening roar!

An unimaginable force transferred from Kira's hand to George Lysen's face, shattering his instinctive shock defense and ignoring his massive muscles, sending the elephant-like giant flying hundreds of meters!

The onlookers in the distance were once again deeply shocked by this scene.

"He actually managed to kill her with just one punch...?!!"

"Still so amazing... Kira..."

"This guy has really gotten stronger! He truly lives up to his reputation as another version of me... Does he really want to surpass me that much?"

"I think he's much better than you..."

"What did you say?!"

Kira didn't hold back with his punch; the powerful force was far heavier than a small mountain impact, sending George Lysen tumbling dozens of times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

But just then, Kira appeared where he was about to fall, grinning and saying, "That punch was my way of getting back at you, but I haven't settled the score with you for the punch you threw at Kurnuki!"

"Shattering Fist Technique - Heaven Shattering!!!"

Chapter 432 Another Unexpected Visitor

The autumn wind carried Kira's voice to the ears of the spectators in the distance. Dispel glanced at Kurnuki, nudged him with his elbow, and said, "Kira seems to be standing up for you..."

"so what?"
