A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Could it be related to Natsu and the others' mission?"

It's all too common for unusual things to happen in a place like this," Kana thought for a moment and said, "According to the guild's records, their mission should be to repel the monsters."

Loki looked at the silent Elfman: "A monster? We have a guy here who can take over the Beast King."

"Something's coming, and there's a lot of it." The three looked up, back to back, ready for battle.

Suddenly, the wolf pack rushed in, making a soft rustling sound on the snow.

Elfman was puzzled: "Snow wolves? I didn't hear any wolf howls just now?"

A magnetic voice came from the mist: "Because there is no wolf king among them to command the pack, of course you will not hear the howls of wolves."

The white mist gradually transformed into a delicate human face, an experience that was rather unpleasant, at least for the three people present.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Fogg. If you continue to stay here, I will consider you my enemies."

"Are they enemies?" Elfman stepped forward and blocked their way.

Loki twirled the ring on his hand: "It seems the guild master was right. This snow mountain hides a secret! Could it be related to the legend of the Celestial Maiden that Kira mentioned?"

"Looks like a formidable opponent." Kana pulled out her tarot cards, and the divination result indicated a narrow escape, suggesting that this battle would be very difficult.

More and more snow wolves appeared around them, getting closer and closer, gradually surrounding the three of them. There were hundreds of them, each as big as a person.

The snow wolves stared fiercely at the three people surrounded by them, making indescribable whimpering sounds from their throats. Their hot breaths deepened the surrounding fog, making the three people feel uneasy.

Normally, this number wouldn't be enough for three people to fight, but now their opponents are not only snow wolves, but also a creature hidden in the thick fog. They can't guarantee that they can be on guard against unknown attacks when facing a pack of nearly a hundred wolves.

Seeing that the three had no intention of leaving, Fogg's eyes sharpened in the thick fog, and his tone turned cold: "It seems you've chosen to become enemies!"

Ferguson waved his hand and ordered the wolves, "Kill them..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cana, Rocky, and Elfman set off simultaneously.

Five cards were instantly obtained, and the combination of cards with different attributes formed an incredible synergistic deck, which unleashed unimaginable power for a time.

[Fireburst] belongs to fire, flames soar into the sky; [Frost] belongs to water, frost covers everything; [Hurricane] belongs to metal, wind blades sever heads; [Thunderstorm] belongs to wood, thunder and lightning roar; [Stone Strike] belongs to earth, crushing stones.

The five cards, originating from the same source, possess immense power. Coupled with their mutually reinforcing and restraining attributes, they resonated with each other after Kana fired them, instantly forming a mysterious magic circle that inflicted massive damage on the wolf pack in the battle.

The snowfield was filled with cries of agony. Everywhere there were charred, frozen, cut up, electrocuted, and stunned snow wolves, their flesh and limbs shattered into pieces, a truly gruesome sight.

"Phew... this deck was definitely worth buying!"

Kana was sweating profusely. Although each card had the function of storing magic power and did not require her to inject magic power temporarily when using them, controlling five such powerful cards at the same time was not an easy task for her.

The magic circle is still working, and the cards produced by Kira are not something that can be ended so easily.

I've had this deck for almost seven days now. Although Kana only adds magic to it in her spare time, it has already become full of magic over time.

Even though Kana only activated half of the power when she used it, the principle of mutual generation of the five elements ensured the lifespan of the magic circle, enough to sustain it for half an hour.

It's important to know that normal cards are only used up once they've been used up. To use them again, you have to inject more magic power, and there's no such thing as a magic circle!

It's unclear what's happening in other countries, but in the Kingdom of Fiore, Kira's deck of cards undoubtedly set a precedent.

Unexpectedly, such a sudden change occurred amidst the favorable situation. A cry of surprise came from the thick fog: "So many snow wolves were wiped out in one strike?! What kind of magic is this?!"

Few people here understand the Five Elements theory, and Cana doesn't understand it very well either, but she remembers Kira saying that the power of using five cards at the same time is beyond imagination.

Hearing the other person's exclamation, Kana replied with a pang of heartache, "It's the magic of money! You bastard!!"

As a demon, and an old demon hiding deep in the mountains at that, Ferguson clearly didn't know what "money power" was and thought it was magic cast with money.

"The magic of money, is it? It seems you're quite wealthy in the outside world."

These simple yet sincere words pierced Cana's heart like needles, reminding her of how Kira had brutally defeated her and the debts she still owed.

"Unfortunately, what you said has angered me."

Ferguson: "??"

Nearly a hundred snow wolves were wiped out in less than a minute. In addition to Kana's Five Elements Magic Array, Loki and Elfman also contributed a lot.

Golden light flashed through the wolf pack, and even the fastest wolf king was helpless against such speed. Rocky struck the snow wolf's belly, and each attack created a large hole. Golden flashes swept across the snow, followed by a series of 'thump' sounds as the wolves fell to the ground.

Elfman's fighting style was neither as flamboyant as Cana's nor as elegant as Loki's. He couldn't match either of them in terms of magical power or physical speed, but his magic had its own unique aspects, making his fights powerful and impactful.

The Beast Soul Receiving Magic made Elfman's body as strong as a beast. Although he couldn't fully receive it at this moment due to psychological reasons, it was enough to deal with a few wolves.

Among the Fairy Tail members of the same age, Elfman is arguably one of the strongest in terms of sheer power. At this moment, his right hand, having received the Beast King's wrist, has become thick and large, with hard scales enhancing the attack power of his fist.

With a single, effortless punch, he sent several snow wolves, each roughly his size, flying ten meters away. Although he didn't know what kind of beasts they were, it was clear that the boost to his strength was considerable.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them unleashed their power simultaneously, displaying perfect teamwork. This is one of the advantages of constantly battling in the guild: familiarity with each other's magic and fighting styles allows them to form a natural tactic in crucial moments.

Elfman used brute force to drive them away while covering the other two; Cana used cards to form a powerful magic circle to surround and kill the trapped wolves; Loki was the fastest and was responsible for eliminating any that escaped.

The three worked together seamlessly, ending the opening match before their opponents could even react.

"The wolf pack has been wiped out, and now only you are left. Aren't you coming out, you hiding in the fog?"

Then, the voice of the mist seemed to be asking itself, or perhaps the three of them: "It seems the power of money is indeed extraordinary... So, can you see through the illusions of life?"

Chapter 64 Kira on his way to the battlefield

"Looks like my luck isn't very good. I actually chose the safest path. I knew it would be like this. I always make the wrong choice when it comes to crucial questions." Kira complained, looking at the snow in front of him.

The passage leads to the mountaintop. Who would have thought that such a hidden and mysterious cave has only three paths, one of which leads directly to the mountaintop!

What were the builders trying to do? Reduce the burden of climbing mountains? I don't understand!

"I climbed thousands of flights of stairs, what a disappointment!"

Looking at the empty mountaintop, devoid of anything except wind and snow, Kira suddenly felt a little bored.

Should I go back and try the other two routes? But I've already reached the top of the mountain. If the other two routes end up like this, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

It's like being tricked twice, and there might even be a third time.

"What should we do? Why don't we call Erza and the others over and let them go? That way, each of them can take a turn and it will be more evenly distributed."

Kira paced back and forth on the mountaintop, his snow-white boots leaving messy footprints in the snow.

boom!

Suddenly, I heard a sound like something exploding.

Kira turned his head and saw that the sound was coming from a mountain peak not far away. On the peak, a layer of snow about three meters thick was falling wildly due to the tremor. Then, scorching heat rose from the bottom of the obscured peak and created a strange airflow at the top.

The air currents surged continuously, and the air, under the collision of cold and hot fronts, formed a strong wind that blew in all directions.

Kira suddenly realized why the wind was so strong here.

"Hmm? This familiar magic... it seems to be... Natsu?"

Kira closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a minute. Although the distance was somewhat far, it was indeed Natsu's magic, and it was very agitated. What was going on? Had he encountered a powerful enemy? In a place like this?

After careful recollection, I realized that in the original Fairy Tail manga, there was no instance of Zonia, but this mission does seem to involve the development of the Fairy Tail universe.

Kira didn't know if it was a butterfly effect caused by his arrival or if the world was filling in the gaps in the original setting, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't solve the mystery here, he might be too excited to sleep at night.

"Well... let's go take a look."

Based on the information we have, it is highly likely that a battle took place here between a god and a god-slaying mage. Kira has already guessed what the god is, but he still doesn't know the origin of the god-slaying magic.

Dragon Slayer Magic originated from the war between humans and dragons. Its essence is augmentation, permanently bestowing the power of dragons upon humans; it is magic taught by dragons. But what about God Slayer Magic and Demon Slayer Magic? The original work doesn't explain this, not even mentioning when they appeared. Perhaps this trip to Zonia will solve this mystery.

Regarding the God-Slaying Magic, the following points are currently known:

It belongs to lost magic and is a type of ancient magic, but its exact age is unknown. The known god-destroying magic is recorded in books and can be learned by reading them, but it requires talent.

The substance it creates is black, and it is set as a magic to fight against gods. However, there are not many legends of gods in the Fairy Tail world. Apart from Anxiram, the god who controls life and death and influenced Zeref’s life, the only other gods that appear in the original work are one of the eighteen warrior gods summoned in the Dark Magician arc, and the God of Time that Serena received in the Twelve Shields of the Alvarez Empire.

The presence of more than one attribute suggests that this magic likely has a complete lineage and is not the product of some accident.

Belonging to the Annihilation type of magic, it can absorb the same attribute to gain power. Zankro of the Seven Kin can eat Natsu's fire, but Natsu cannot eat his fire under normal circumstances; Sherria showed significantly more magical power than Wendy during their battle... proving that in most cases, there is a clear power imbalance between God-Slaying and Dragon-Slaying magic;

Users will not experience motion sickness.

Compared to this, there is even less information about the Demon Extermination Method:

Only one element has ever appeared, and only two people have used it, but it is a type of magic that can be inherited;

The source was not specified; it was only known that Yin learned it from somewhere.

Magic has no special color;

The user did not appear to experience motion sickness.

The only thing they have in common is that they are immune to attacks of the same attribute and have a special attack buff against the same species.

"Perhaps the person who commissioned the mission knows some information about the gods, as well as the origin of the magic to destroy gods?"

Thinking this way, Kira felt he should have Natsu take him to meet the client and ask him for relevant information.

Sensing that Natsu's battle seemed to be reaching a fever pitch, Kira thought he should probably go over and check it out; perhaps he could gain some unexpected insights.

Of course, this gain was obtained from the enemy.

Although I'm going to go and take a look, how to make an appearance is a very important question.

First and foremost, you must be handsome and stylish. You need to make your opponents think, "This person is extraordinary and should not be underestimated," and give your teammates the feeling that "This round is in the bag, let the god carry us." So, change your outfit.

As for how to change? These days, who doesn't know a little bit of costume-changing magic? It's not some kind of powerful magic.

"Change clothes."

As a blacksmith, how could Kira only forge armor for Erza and not make one for himself as well?

The entire magical robe is made of ice silkworm silk, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has excellent elasticity. It is white with a blue wave pattern as the background and is embroidered with light purple patterns and silver crystals. The white cloth boots highlight the lightness and agility of the clothes. The white gold cloak that he always wore on his back has been taken off and replaced by huge twelve wings. The white wings spread out from the magical robe, making him look incomparably holy, like an angel descending to earth.

How can the word "handsome" possibly describe him?

Sensing the direction from which the magic was coming, Kira spread his wings and flew away into the distance.

……

The flames, which should have been an attack that would cause injury upon contact, were completely ineffective against the formless and shapeless clouds and smoke.

Boom! Whoosh!

Beneath the snowy cliff, red and white magic intertwined, flames and clouds locked in a fierce struggle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
