A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Despite all the precautions, it was ultimately unavoidable.

"Fortunately... this is in a game, there's a magic barrier, so it shouldn't affect the audience..."

Thinking of this, Makarov couldn't help but glance at Volod beside him. If anything unexpected happened later, he might have to rely on this senior to save him.

"Senior, please have some tea..."

"Oh? Okay!"

In the mechanical labyrinth, Alzac and his companions huddled together, trembling as they watched the two figures unleashing their magical power.

"It seems we're destined to be caught in the crossfire of their battle... Luckily, this is a virtual world, otherwise we'd be in real trouble!"

Biguslo tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and then laughed, "However, being able to see these two fight up close is worth it even if I get eliminated."

Although Bigusro was usually a belligerent and spectator-loving person, it was obvious to everyone that he was forcing a smile.

"I...I'm just an ordinary black cat that was passing by..."

Lili transformed into his cat form, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he was sweating profusely in Lisanna's arms. He could feel that the girl holding him was also nervous and uneasy, because the strength in her hands was increasing, and she was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Why didn't I run away for my life just now? It's too late to leave now..."

"Don't be afraid, Lisanna! Staying calm in times like these is what makes a real man!!"

Elfman's words did not offer any comfort; instead, they made Lisanna even more agitated. For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to calm down.

"Why is Gildarts here...?"

Alzak also hid uneasily behind the group, but everyone present had been influenced by Kira's ideas, so seeing his behavior, they all felt that this guy was in Versailles.

"Gildas is your teammate, you should be happy, right?"

"If I weren't here, I would be much happier; but since I'm here, all I feel is unease..."

Now, no one questioned Alzac's presence at Versailles, because what he said was exactly what they were thinking.

"Oh dear! I only came here because I saw Alzak, I didn't expect to run into so many people..."

Gildarts scratched his head, then his eyes naturally fell on Kira, sharp as a tiger's. "It's been a long time since we've fought this seriously, hasn't it, Kira?"

Kira perked up when he saw Gildarts suddenly emerge from the other side of the wall.

After hearing what the other person said, he smiled and nodded: "It's been more than three years! There's nothing we can do. The guild leader doesn't allow us to fight within Magnolia's territory, and you're not in the guild for most of the year, so we haven't had a chance."

"We really have to thank this competition; it finally allows us to go all out and give it our all."

"Thanks to you for coming back in time, otherwise I would have had to bully Laxus..."

Gildas burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha... After all these years, he still hasn't caught up with you!"

"That guy's still a long way off!" Kira smiled confidently, saying meaningfully, "Before he catches up with me, he'll have to get past you first!!"

"Hmm? Does that mean you've surpassed me in strength? You're quite confident!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a torrent of magical power surged from Gildarts, whipping his cloak wildly behind him. He looked intently at Kira and said seriously, "In that case, let me see your current strength, Kira!"

"Just what I wanted! Today I'm going to take your 'Guild's Number One' throne away, Gildarts!!"

boom!!

Platinum-gold magic solidified into a tangible form, spreading from Kira's body at a visible speed, gradually engulfing the surrounding space and transforming it into a battlefield as noble and elegant as he was.

Her red hair fluttered in the wind, and her cape danced in the breeze.

Kira's expression was solemn, his fighting spirit soaring. His sky-blue eyes were fixed on his opponent, and magic power gathered in his hands, feet, and every part of his body, ready to erupt at any moment.

"If you can do it, then give it a try! Let's see who's number one between the two of us!!"

boom!!!

The two's immense magical power shattered the stone walls, not only completely destroying the surrounding mechanical stone walls, but also causing a noticeable spatial distortion in the air.

"What terrifying magic this is!!"

"Are these two monsters?!"

Not far away, Elfman and the others hid behind a stone wall that had been crushed by magic, watching the battlefield ahead and patiently waiting for the battle to begin.

The next moment, Kira and Gildarts unleashed their power simultaneously!

"drink!!"

Gildarts stretched out his right arm, and a devastating burst of energy erupted from his hand. The shattering magic, glowing with white light, whipped up a terrifying gale and ruthlessly struck towards Kira.

"Yaha!!"

Kira was equally unyielding; when it came to magical clashes, he had never been afraid of anyone!

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and magic surged from beneath his feet into the earth, throwing the entire battlefield into chaos.

A torrent of platinum-gold magic erupted from the ground, lifting up boulders. With Kira's magic power, the floating boulders became incredibly hard, and under his control, they quickly formed a thick shield in front of Kira.

boom!!!

With a deafening roar and a burst of light, the shattering magic and the rock shield wall vanished simultaneously. The human-sized rock was shattered into pieces, leaving only small, unenhanced fragments that scattered across the ground.

It seems that the first round of their offensive and defensive maneuver has just ended, but for Kira, it's not. You see, he can use more than one type of magic at a time.

Since Kira can multitask, he should take the initiative in the first round. Therefore, in addition to defense, Kira also has an offensive capability.

Thump!

Before the explosion had even ended, Gildarts felt a heavy pressure fall on him!

The immense weight of the mountain pressed down, causing Gildarts to fall forward. Even the ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand the force, creating a three-foot-deep crater.

'Is that gravity magic?!'

Feeling the increasing pressure on his body and his feet sinking deeper into the pit, Gildarts instantly understood the type of magic Kira was using. He dared not be careless and immediately activated the powerful magic within his body to fight against it.

With a "whoosh," the magic collided again, triggering another hurricane that swept around and spread with devastating force, completely destroying the stone walls and traps in the maze.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Danger!!!"

"How could this be... completely powerless to resist!"

'These two are terrifying...'

Amidst the hurricane, several piercing screams rang out. They were Elfman and the others who had been watching from the sidelines, but now they had to abandon their spectator's mood and run further away.

To be precise, they were swept away by the oncoming hurricane.

Chapter 452 is over, our spots are gone.

After the weight that had been pressing down on him was completely shattered, Gildas rubbed his neck and gave an approving smile.

"You've grown quite a bit, kid!"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Kira arrogantly snorted a hot breath from his nostrils, his right hand forming a claw. Before Gildarts could react, the next attack followed: "Elemental Net!!"

Gildas was taken aback. His exceptional perception and rich combat experience allowed him to immediately detect the changes in the surrounding magical energy.

In their vision, platinum-gold magic converged wildly towards a single point, forming a massive fireball in the blink of an eye. The fireball hurtled towards Gildarts, its color changing from fiery red to orange as more magic continued to flow into it.

The intense heat, like the sun itself, hit them head-on, and even Gildas was drenched in sweat. "This kid really doesn't hold back..."

He dared not be careless in the slightest, his eyes fixed on the ever-growing fireball, his mental energy enveloping it, not missing a single change in magical power, using both methods to firmly lock onto the fireball's trajectory.

“But… he’s still too young!” Gildarts’s eyes narrowed slightly as his brain quickly analyzed the magic of the fireball in front of him. He concluded that he was capable of taking this attack!

But before he could make a move, another change occurred!

Sharp wind blades and flashing lightning appeared to Gildarts' left and right fronts in a similar manner to fireballs, attacking his position with no less power than the former.

The three spells drew closer and closer, merging together in mid-air.

At this moment, the three elements of wind, fire, and thunder are no longer separate. They are like three battle partners with years of tacit understanding, casting a super-powerful spell that enhances each other under the fusion of magic!

After merging with the wind and thunder, the air currents stirred up by the flames became even more violent. The breeze turned into a hurricane, and the lightning into a thunderstorm. It swept up the rocks, iron chains, and other materials that had fallen around the floor after it was torn up, and spiraled towards the target with a whooshing sound.

"Isn't it?!"

"OMG!!"

"Amazing!!!"

"Is this Kira's power?!"

In the plaza, on the crystal screen, Kira's figure was like a god controlling the sun, the dazzling fireball illuminating him as if he were a sacred sun god.

The audience's screams were deafening. This terrifying fire magic was completely different from the flames Natsu was wielding in another scene, where he was fighting Gray to the death.

Even though Natsu can eat fire, it doesn't affect the audience's impression that "he's not as good as Kira".

"How terrifying!" Gildas sighed, slightly adjusting his posture, and stretched out his right hand, intending to unleash a shattering spell to disperse the wave of fire.

But at that moment, another unexpected event occurred!

Kira chuckled: "Do you think I'd let you hit me so easily?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the raging flames suddenly contracted. The raging wind whirls, violent flames, and earth-shattering thunder were compressed at the same time, gathering the originally restless energy into thin, golden-red fire ropes. The fire ropes intertwined and wove into a large net, greatly reducing the impact of the shattering magic.

In the audience, a weathered but upright figure quietly watched everything on the screen.

He had long white hair, a long white beard, wore a light soft armor, held a wooden magic wand, wore an eyepatch over his right eye, and his open left eye revealed a faint scrutinizing look.

"It seems he's gotten stronger this year..."

If Kira were here, he would recognize the old man at a glance. He was Hades Precht, who had almost lost everything on Tenrou Island a year ago, but was spared and survived by a hair's breadth.

Beside Precito stood two figures, one fat and one thin, both remnants of the 'Seven Kin of Purgatory'. The fat one was Hua Yuan, and the thin one was Lastiros.

At this moment, Lustiros also turned his attention to the screen in the air, but he wasn't looking at Kira and Gildarts, but rather at Filde, who was being overwhelmed by Wendy.

A year ago, he was evenly matched with Philid, but now he's being beaten by a little girl. Doesn't that mean he's not as good as this little girl?

Although the 'Seven Kin' were a thing of the past, his pride had not diminished in the slightest.

"Let's find some time to have another match with him..."
