A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"The girl named Erza, though weaker, is clearly the kind of person who is meticulous in everything she does, extremely serious about battle, and has a very strong competitive spirit! She might not be able to stop once she starts fighting!! And everyone knows she's Lady Irene's daughter, so who would dare to really go all out?!"

Jacob thought Neinhart either wanted to die, or that someone had somehow damaged his head...

"Speaking of which, I've had some contact with your 'Fairy Tail' before!"

Just then, Neinhart suddenly spoke up, "You went to the Alvarez Empire last year, didn't you? Back then, that brat who used lightning was incredibly arrogant!"

Seeing his gritted teeth and hateful eyes, Jacob was certain that his head had really been damaged, and that it was the same person he had mentioned, the one who had damaged it.

"Hmm?? Oh right, speaking of which, Laxus mentioned that you were defeated by him, right?"

Erza speaks her mind and doesn't take the other person's 'transfer of hatred to herself' to heart at all.

"hateful……"

Neinhart was even angrier, but he still patiently said, "I originally wanted to get my revenge in this tournament, but I didn't expect to face you instead of him... If I'm not mistaken, he should be the second strongest in this team, right?"

"No, I'm second!" Erza's eyes turned cold.

"Huh?"

Neinhart suddenly felt his mind go blank and instinctively retorted, "That's not right. Judging by magic power, it's not that person who's stronger..."

Before he could finish speaking, Neinhardt saw Erza's aura suddenly change, becoming full of fighting spirit, as if she had heard something very unpleasant.

That coldness reminded him of Eileen, and a "ma?" stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless.

Kira: "..."

Jack: "..."

This person... is definitely out of their mind?

Chapter 704 Memories of the Corpse

In Kira's memory, Erza usually fought against Mira, rarely against Laxus, because she knew there was a clear difference in their strength. From childhood to adulthood, her challenges to Laxus almost always ended in a humiliating defeat.

But as a mage of 'Fairy Tail', what they have in abundance is competitiveness!

So sometimes, Erza, fueled by others, would still stubbornly argue with Laxus about 'who is stronger'.

Now, Neinhart feels challenged because of her past resentment at losing to Laxus and her 'underestimation' of Erza!

Therefore, without further ado, the battle is about to begin.

"Change gear! Heavenly Wheel Armor!!"

Erza changed her outfit in a second, summoned two swords from a magic circle, and rushed towards Neinhardt.

Neinhart dared not take the attack head-on, and the memories of the magical corpse were immediately activated, instantly invading Erza's mental sea and searching for the powerful figures she had fought against.

"Let me see the powerful figures you remember!"

clang!!

Just as Erza's twin swords were about to strike Neinhardt's face, a strong arm appeared out of nowhere, blocking the powerful blow for Neinhardt.

"Ok?"

Erza was startled, then looked up and immediately saw a familiar face—a female demon who had once fought her to a standstill.

“I remember this demon! She seems to be…Kyouka from the ‘Gates of the Underworld’!”

Erza gritted her teeth and called out the name.

Speaking of Erza and Kyoka, they don't actually have much grudge against each other. They just fought each other on Tenrou Island.

Before the battle was even over, Kyoka was instantly defeated by Kira, who suddenly appeared, and then taken over by Mira. Her rare opponent ended just like that.

In this world, due to Kira's intervention, Erza never fought against Ikaruga or Azuma, so at this moment, only one powerful being manifested by Neinhardt based on Erza's memories.

But he summoned not only Kuanghua, but also another demon.

One was a tall demon, dressed in a black cloak, with a dark complexion and a red skull mask, exuding a chilling aura.

Bradman, formerly one of the Twelve Shields!

"Who is this guy?"

"His name was Bradman. He used to be one of our comrades, one of the Twelve Aegis of the Holy Land. He was basically as strong as one of the top Ten Aegis of the Holy Land on your side. Unfortunately, he died for some unknown reason."

Neinhardt casually replied that he only knew that the people from Fairy Tail had been to the Alvarez Empire, but he didn't know what had happened to Bradman, though he didn't really care anyway.

"..."

Erza and Kira both fell silent.

They knew all too well how Bradman died; he was killed by Kurnuki, wasn't he?

It seems the Twelve Shields haven't figured it out yet?

No! August and Zeref should have guessed it long ago, right? After all, this is a rare subordinate with shield-level strength; killing him won't be so easy! It's just that they don't care about the death of this demon.

"Bradman?"

Kira narrowed his eyes as he looked at the towering demon before him.

The magic of the Corpse Memory can manifest not only the powerful figures in the opponent's memories, but also the powerful figures in one's own memories. In the original manga, Neinhart manifested Serena, Bradman, and Waal.

It can be said that this is a magic that can turn one person into an army!

"Rosa should have no problem dealing with Kyoka now. Adding Bradman might be a bit trickier, but... it should still be alright, right?"

Actually, Bradman's terrifying aspect lies not in his ability to use all the spells of the 'Nine Ghost Gates,' but in his ability to drag people to their deaths together. This is what Kira finds troublesome.

If a dead person uses a suicide attack on you, would you be scared?

That's just as terrifying as Edo Tensei combined with Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!!

On the field, Neinhart stood tall with his arms outstretched, proudly introducing his magic to everyone. He used overly dramatic and childish terms like "memory of corpses" and "dead powerful beings," along with his arrogant expression and immense magical power, instantly making him the center of attention.

But the audience just loves that. They came here to watch the competition, so the more and stronger the fighters, the more exciting the battle, the more excited they get.

Especially after seeing the two demons suddenly appear, many people were immediately stunned by their chilling aura. As the arena went from two against two to two against four, their interest was instantly piqued.

"Unbelievable... to be able to materialize the dead, this kind of magic is simply inconceivable!! Speaking of which, is that a demon? And the demon from the former 'Gates of the Underworld', it seems really powerful..."

The three commentators, Chapati, Yajima, and Pumpkin Man, sitting on the judges' panel, were sweating profusely. They could clearly feel the magic of the two demons in the arena, even sitting there.

Then, the three of them quickly realized something else—

"If just one demon is this terrifying, then what about the entire 'Tarrensky Gate'? Just how powerful is 'Fairy Tail,' which wiped out the entire 'Tarrensky Gate' in a single battle?!"

Thinking of this, the Pumpkin Man felt his heart pounding with excitement, his little body trembling with elation, and his white gloves waving in the air.

"It suddenly became two against four, isn't this magic a bit too unfair?"

"It seems like Kira-san isn't going to help. Can Erza-san handle this alone?"

"Is there even a question? She's Erza!!"

At this moment, Erza held her twin swords at an angle, her bright eyes sweeping back and forth between Kyoka and Bradman, carefully observing everything about the two demons before her, while listening to their conversation.

"You're also a demon created by Lord Zeref? How come I've never seen you before?"

"..."

"Can't you speak? How pathetic..."

"..."

You long-abandoned, defective products, do you really think you're better than us newer versions? What a joke! You think too highly of yourselves! Pity me for not being able to speak? Am I unable to speak? I'm just too lazy to bother with you!

Sure enough, this defective product is not only bad in terms of skills, but also not very bright!

Bradman silently complained to himself, then moved his feet to create a slight distance between himself and Kuang Hua.

Kuang Hua: "??"

Soon, the memories of the manifested object began to connect, and Kyoka immediately knew Bradman's identity, and her expression changed instantly!

What?! Lord Zeref doesn't want us anymore? And he's created a new demon?!

So love can disappear, right? What a jerk!

As the memories were transmitted, Kuang Hua's expression became unpredictable, alternating between joy and anger.

The good news is that Zeref is here right now, and he has finally achieved the goal he pursued in his life—to return to the side of his creator.

What angered them was that they had been abandoned, and all the plans for "Gates of the Underworld," "Nine Ghost Gates," and "Resurrection END" seemed like a joke.

When one is extremely angry, one naturally needs an outlet for their emotions.

The most suitable outlet for venting right now is undoubtedly Erza!

"Go to hell!!"

With a loud shout, Kuang Hua unleashed a 'weapon spell' and lunged at Erza with a ferocious expression. Her left hand transformed into a whip-like blade several meters long that could be manipulated at will, while her right hand became a claw harder than steel, capable of easily crushing rocks and reaching the length of an arm.

The two weapons, one long and one short, one flexible and one rigid, are equally sharp and equally dangerous!

Erza dared not be careless and raised her sword to fight back!

Ding ding ding...

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

After nearly two years of training, Erza's strength is now completely different from what she was on Tenrou Island. Unlike Natsu and the others, she had already opened her second magic source and maxed out her magical talent, so she grew very quickly. At this point, she is even stronger than she was at the end of the original series, and dealing with Kyoka is no problem at all!

After exchanging several blows, Kyoka was slashed away by Erza.

There was no blood, no pain, but Kyoka, who had stood up again, was horrified. She looked at Erza as if she were looking at an unreasonable overpowered person: "How is this possible... You've become so strong??"

"It may have been difficult to defeat you back then, but you have been dead since then, while I am still alive and have been making progress over the past two years!"

Erza's answer was full of energy, and her eyes revealed a sense of confidence.

"You are no match for me right now!!"
