A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Since the start of the match, Kira and Gildarts have exchanged blows several times, and every move and every response they make has been watched by thousands of spectators outside the arena.

Although most of these spectators were ordinary people, there were also mages among them. They could naturally see that both Kira and Gildarts were among the top mages in the Kingdom of Fiore and even Ishgar, in terms of their mastery of the magic they used, their adaptability to the environment, and their judgment of their opponents.

Especially Kira, the genius mage hailed as the "leader of the new generation," such an honor is by no means undeserved!

With these two around, Fairy Tail truly deserves its title as Fiore's number one magic guild.

The final round, the final move, will determine the ultimate winner of this competition!

"I thought Kira and Gildarts' final battle would be really interesting, is it already over?"

On the spectator screen of 'Fairy Tail', Natsu looked completely dejected, staring at the two on the screen with obvious boredom on his face. "If I were in that situation, it would definitely be much more exciting than this!"

"But Natsu, weren't you eliminated with a single punch...?"

The taunts from his old partner Happy only fueled Natsu's already resentful anger: "It was just one punch! I'm perfectly fine! If this weren't a match, I wouldn't have lost!"

Both incompetent and overconfident!

Everyone else ignored him, but Lucy followed up on Natsu's words and raised her own doubts: "But I'm also concerned about what Natsu said. I thought the battle between Kira and Gildarts... well... would be a bit bigger."

After thinking for a long time, I finally realized that apart from "making a huge commotion," there seemed to be no other words to describe the battle I had imagined.

"The reason there wasn't much of a commotion is because Kira concentrated all his magic into one thing."

Just then, Erza began explaining to the group, "He used that tracking magic circle to teleport his spell directly to Gildarts' side, and the spell was destroyed by Gildarts the instant it appeared, which is why it didn't cause the expected commotion..."

Gray and the others looked at Erza, who was speaking with a serious expression and an air of authority, with suspicion: "Really? Why do I feel like Gildarts just showed off a few punches?"

Erza: "..."

"That's because you lack experience, that's why you can't see it!"

On the battlefield, two frenzied magical forces collided, soaring into the highest heavens and plunging into the abyss.

It exudes a pure and extreme destructive power, as if the heavens and earth would crumble upon its release; it is filled with a mysterious aura that is profound and mysterious, as if a god has descended to earth and revealed the holy truth.

Kira and Gildarts fought to the extreme, their battle raging fiercely. Their bodies clashed, their clothes fluttered, and their eyes met, their blood boiling with passion.

"Complete disassembly!!"

Annihilation!!

Two incredibly powerful spells were unleashed in quick succession. The magic disintegration spell was formless and incredibly fast. Normally, it could instantly slice a mountain into countless blocks of stone, but against the annihilation spell that could eliminate all magic, it could only return empty-handed.

It is annihilated after it strikes first, and becomes stronger when it encounters a strong opponent. In the instant before it even touches the target, it analyzes and generates the opposite substance, and then absorbs all the vast magical power around it. The magic that could destroy half of Magnolia in one move dissipates completely before it is fully unleashed.

"Drink it all!!"

"Ora Ora Ora!!!"

After shouting again, Kira and Gildarts burst forth from the sky, like dragons and tigers battling, their power earth-shattering. The two charged forward, splitting the ground as they did so, their magical energy continuously flowing into their hands, ultimately becoming two terrifying energies akin to divine punishment.

They then jumped into the air simultaneously, striking each other with their fists three meters apart!

"Dispel Evil and Reveal Righteousness - Annihilate Heaven!!"

"Shattering Stream - Heaven-Shattering!!"

In his final strike, Gildarts unleashed his strongest punch; Kira, not to be outdone, countered with a modified version of the punch he had learned from Gildarts.

Almost identical shattering magic, condensing the full power of two mages who were worthy of being among the "Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar," clashed terrifyingly in mid-air, like lightning and thunder, neither giving way to the other, like an unparalleled cataclysm and tsunami.

boom!!!

The magic wrapped in their fists exploded upon impact, triggering an unprecedented explosion that instantly engulfed the two people in mid-air. The energy continued to spread outwards, continuing even beyond the screen's capture range.

Compared to this explosion, Kira and Gildarts, the flying rocks and the arena, all seemed so small and helpless.

……

Just like when it rose before, the dark spherical magic shield slowly descended from the top along the curved surface, revealing the scene inside: there was no scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, nor was there a howling and wailing wind, only two figures, one middle-aged and one young.

The ground beneath their feet collapsed under the immense force, now forming four craters about ten centimeters deep. They maintained almost identical postures, their legs in a horse stance, one in front of the other, their bodies as steady as Mount Tai. Their left hands were at their waists, their right fists extended and clashed together. They looked at each other with pleasant smiles on their faces.

"it's over……"

"So, who won?"

Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, the audience was filled with curiosity and began to ask questions.

Is Kira, young and promising, rising to prominence and proving his strength once again? Or is Gildarts, old but not dead, enduring and unyielding, refusing to step down from his position as number one, suppressing the younger generation from rising to prominence?

It's important to understand that the outcome of this battle doesn't just represent the winner of a single match; it also signifies who truly deserves the title of 'Fairy Tail' number one!

Of course, the most important things are the bonus and the house!

The nameless spectators, guildmates, the three guests, Precito and others hidden in the crowd all stared wide-eyed, their expressions a mixture of trepidation and excitement, waiting for the two who knew the outcome to speak.

However, before they could announce the results, a bright red liquid dripped down under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Snapped!

A soft, almost imperceptible sound, yet it seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present. The blood that fell to the ground quickly spread, then dissipated its residual heat on the cold ground.

Kira is the one who's injured!

"How could this be... Lord Kira lost?"

"As expected, Gildas is still the better player..."

"It seems like it's a bit too early to think about taking first place... After all, there's an age gap, so it was expected that Kira would lose. It's already quite an achievement that he's reached this level!"

"No!! I won't accept it!!"

Dispel suddenly threw his head back and wailed, "How could Kira lose? How could Kira lose? You're Kira! You're another me!! If you lose... then that means I lose too... No!!!"

The cries were mournful and tragic, lingering for a long time before fading away, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The person next to him patted Dispel on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be too sad. Although you are the same entity, both Kira, you are you and he is him. You can't be confused!"

Dispel continued to sob, "No! You don't understand!"

The others, feeling helpless, could only offer another word of comfort: "No, I understand! Listen to me, it was Kira Hoplette who lost the match, not Kira Dispel. You really don't need to be so upset! I know you two are close, and it's normal to be sad about his defeat, but..."

"You know nothing!" Dispel suddenly looked up and roared, tears welling in his eyes. "I'm crying because of the money I bet!!"

Everyone: "..."

Give us back the emotions we felt!

I really want to hit him... No, no, I can't beat him... But I really want to hit him!!

Just then, Gildas suddenly spoke up: "I lost!"

Everyone: ? ? !!

"What's going on?! Kira was injured!! Why is Gildarts the one who gave up?"

"Oh no, could there be something fishy going on in this match?!"

Makarov's heart skipped a beat, and his hand trembled as he tried to refute.

Unexpectedly, another voice rang out: "No, look at Gildas's hand!!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and, after careful observation, discovered the clue.

It turns out that although Gildarts looked fine on the outside, he actually had a fracture in his right arm and even some joint dislocation, which was considered a serious injury; on the other hand, Kira only suffered external injuries, with some cuts and bleeding, which could not even be considered a minor injury.

Happiness came so suddenly that Dispel was instantly enlightened. He put his hands on his hips, threw his head back, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha!! Yes!! I won!! I bet on it!!"

Everyone: What do we do? We want to hit him even more!!

Makarov: That was close... I almost gave myself away.

As he was leaving the field, Gildas suddenly asked, "How did you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Kira waved his left hand and gave a sly smile.

"You forgot? I can multitask!"

Chapter 473 Unexpected Visit

Guild Tavern.

"Ah~ It feels so good to be number one!!"

Kira reclined comfortably in his personal armchair, snuggling closer, and said contentedly, "Even an ordinary chair feels like a golden throne..."

He enjoyed the soft cushion beneath his bottom, while gently stroking the gold trophy he had recently acquired, engraved with the words "Fairy Tail First Squad".

After weighing it briefly, Kira's expression changed as he noticed something amiss: "The weight feels off. Could it be that the Chairman mixed something else in it, and it's not pure gold? I'll have it weighed at a jewelry store later..."

"Kira, haven't you had enough of touching him already?"

Seeing Kira's pathetic state, the people around him were speechless.

This guy is clearly not short of money, so why does he still act like he's never seen money before after all these years? And it's getting worse! I really don't know what he's thinking.

“Not enough! It’s never enough! When I get home tonight, I’ll put it in the cabinet with last year’s trophy and display it in the store.”

"It's just a trophy, is it really necessary to be so smug?"

Kira glanced at it smugly, scoffed, and said, "What do you know? This is the symbol of my victory over Gildarts!! It's an honor that can be recorded in biographies!! It's something I can brag about to my descendants decades from now!!"

“People like you who have nothing can’t understand. When you’re seventy or eighty, all you can do is point to an empty wooden cabinet and tell your children, ‘This is all the honors I’ve earned in my life.’”

"..." × N

"You don't even have a girlfriend, yet you expect to have children and grandchildren?"

Hey these people... if you can't win an argument, you can't win an argument, why resort to personal attacks?!

Kira flew into a rage, gently setting down the trophy in his hand. He then slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting, "Who do you think you are? Who says you can't have kids without a girlfriend? Gildarts is a perfect example!"

Besides, I'm your creditor daddy!

"Hey, hey...you guys are talking about your own things, don't drag me into this..."

Gildas, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, chuckled helplessly, then used his still-functioning left hand to raise the glass in front of him and downed the golden wheat wine in one gulp.

As for his right arm, which was fractured by Kira's dirty tricks, it had recovered to about 70-80% after Wendy's treatment after the match. It was in a cast and wrapped with bandages a dozen times, hanging behind his neck, but fortunately it didn't hinder his movement.

Speaking of Wendy, Perusia seems to intend to pass on the identity of "Fairy Tail's Bound Doctor" to her.
