A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira's eyes lit up. "You guessed right, he did mention it, and I agreed to let him play one-on-one."

"Then you'd better put him in this match, otherwise he won't be able to win the next two singles matches!"

Laxus was full of confidence. He believed that Agil and Natsu were about the same level, so he was the opponent that Natsu could possibly defeat in the end. If he were to face Jura or himself, he would have no chance of winning.

Just then, the announcer's loudspeaker blared through the venue—

"Single Battle - Match 1!!"

"Narubudinku of the Yukira team versus Agil of the Laxus team!!"

"What?!"

Laxus's eyes widened instantly, staring dumbfounded at Kira beside him, unable to believe his ears. "You're letting that kind of guy do the one-on-one fight??"

"I told you, this will be something you never expect!!"

"Humph!"

In just a few breaths, Laxus understood Kira's plan: 'He must be trying to use weaker mages to wear down his stronger ones! But can he really guarantee enough wins later on...?'

Shortly afterward, Agil and Narubudinku entered the arena.

"What's going on?! Sending this guy to fight me? Who do they think they are?!"

Agil is warlike and prefers to fight strong people, but now that he has seen that his opponent is such a guy, he is so angry that he almost explodes.

Narubudinku lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to speak.

When he learned that he had been placed in a one-on-one battle, he knew that the mage named Kira had no good intentions. Yesterday, Kira had already analyzed the three opponents in the one-on-one battle, so no matter who he faced, he was sure to get a good beating.

Perhaps only the highly respected and kind-hearted Jura would go easy on him...

One minute later.

"Desert Cavalry!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Match over! The winner is Team Laxus, Agil!!"

audience:"……"

If it weren't for the fact that admission was free today, there would already be a riot with people shouting for refunds!

"Are these mages, all in their prime, just throwing a fight?"

"What kind of garbage formation is this?! This is practically suicide!!"

"They actually sent such a weak mage into a one-on-one battle! Their captain has absolutely no taste! Could he have been paid off?"

"I heard he was a mage from 'Raven's Tail,' and I thought he'd be a formidable figure. But look what happened! Not only is his character terrible, but his strength is also lacking. He's a disgrace!"

"Get down there now, you short, fat man!!"

The audience's insults grew increasingly harsh, showing no restraint in their contempt; Ivan grew angrier and angrier, his face turning bright red, his palms almost bleeding from clenching his fists; as for Narubudinku himself, he was already unconscious and being carried off by the staff, unable to hear any of this.

Even though they won the duel, neither Agil himself, who was fighting, nor Laxus, who was setting up the formation, felt a sense of accomplishment at the moment.

"You're really something, Kira..."

Laxus's face was grim, and he was already plotting how to beat Natsu to a pulp to vent his anger.

"Next up is the second doubles match! The two opponents are—"

"Urutia Mirkovich, Breya!!"

"And Sido and Kolai!!"

Arc of Time, Ice Shape, Clone, White Dragon Slayer, Shadow Dragon Slayer—listening to the commentator's explanation of the magic of the four girls on the field, the audience was filled with excitement, thinking that this was going to be another good fight.

However, in Kira's opinion, Ultear could easily take on two opponents with this lineup.

"The Radiance of the White Dragon!!"

"Shadow Dragon's Slash!!"

As the battle began, the twin sisters immediately unleashed their Dragon Slayer techniques. One of them stood still and emitted a beam of light, while the other moved in close and slashed with her sword. Their coordination was quite impressive.

Having learned from their previous doubles match, the twin sisters received advice from their team's strategist, Inbell—

"Don't split up the battlefield, but instead use your advantage, which is your natural teamwork! Use this teamwork to gain the upper hand in the duel and create the feeling that 'everyone on the other side feels like they are fighting two against one'! If possible, it's best to focus on one person at the beginning, and pick the weakest one."

Sido and Kolay readily agreed, so they launched all their attacks at Brea at the start.

With all her opponents coming at her, Breya was furious. She immediately unleashed her clone magic, transforming herself into four clones: Angry, Sad, Joyful, and Jealous. The numbers were instantly reversed, turning from one against two into four against two.

The magic of creating a clone is a technique that separates a particular emotion of one's own to create a second self. Because everyone's emotions are very complex, there are many ways to create a clone.

With Breya's magic, she can only divide into four at most now, and the duration is only five minutes.

The four Breyas were like mass-produced products on a factory assembly line. Their hairstyles, clothes, faces, and skin tones were all exactly the same, and they all held the same greatswords, making them look like quadruplets.

"You're all coming at me?! You two filthy bitches!!"

"Waaaaah... Why are they all hitting me?!"

"Come on, come on!! Hahaha!!"

"You actually have this kind of strength?! Damn it!!"

The four Breyas were too easily swayed by their emotions in their fighting style, and they lacked coordination. So, despite their numbers, they were at a disadvantage against the perfectly coordinated twins.

Ultear observed from the sidelines without intervening in the battle. With her rich combat experience, she could tell at a glance that the twins in front of her only had the upper hand because of their teamwork, and that their individual strength was not actually that high.

In truth, they are about as strong as Brea.

However, this is because they have not been second-generation Dragon Slayer Mages for long and are not yet proficient in using Dragon Slayer Magic.

"Damn it! This is so annoying!!"

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, the four Breya finally couldn't hold back any longer and seized an opportunity to draw their swords simultaneously, slashing at the twins from all directions.

"Nisunai!!"

As the sword fell, the audience's hearts skipped a beat.

At the critical moment, the twins suddenly stepped back and jumped away simultaneously, then simultaneously assumed an attack stance—

"White Dragon's..."

"Shadow Dragon's..."

"Roar!!!" x2

With two delicate shouts, the two dragons unleashed their breaths simultaneously, white light and shadow intertwining into a surging torrent of magic that engulfed the four Breya who had been drawn together. Then, with a deafening roar, the arena trembled violently.

The audience was suddenly shocked to realize that the twin girls had deliberately left a loophole in order to lure all four Breya together and make it easier to capture them all at once.

Wow! That's amazing!

"Hondo—Kawaii Ne~"

"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also incredibly intelligent!! Uncle me..."

Although both are Dragon Slayers, Sudo and Kola are not as strong as Natsu and Laxus, but they are far superior in terms of gender and appearance.

It is easy to imagine that after today, these eighteen-year-old twin girls will become another pair of dazzling star mages in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"See that? Stinger, Rogue, you two will become the pillars of Dragon Slayer Mages in the future!!"

"Uh...yes..."

"Stinger will definitely be stronger than them in the future!! And Roger too!!"

"Flo thinks so too~"

Chapter 720 Jura vs. the Seal of Time

clap clap clap...

Just as the twin sisters, Sido and Cora, were basking in the joy of defeating Brea, the crisp applause from behind them made their faces turn pale instantly.

Oh right, this is a two-player battle, and our opponent has another person!

As the applause subsided, Ultear's voice rang out: "You played well, so..."

"so?"

"So, that's the end of it for you!"

The twins exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying their mutual understanding, and nodded to each other in unison.

Turning around, his figure suddenly surged forward!

"White Dragon's Meteor!!"

"Shadow Dragon's spear!!"

The girl flanked them from both sides, swift as a shooting star, incredibly powerful; sharp as a spear, ghostly and cunning. Urudia, caught in the crossfire, remained unfazed, calm and fearless.

"Wow! Not bad, Ultear..." Kira secretly praised from the stands, "This arrogant attitude of his has already inherited three-tenths of my skills!"

Inside the arena, Ultear remained calm and composed, her long hair moving without wind. In a daze, it seemed as if Uru's shadow appeared on her body. Mother and daughter moved in unison, lightly raising their fists and palms to touch in front of them!

"Ice-Crafted Rose Garden!!"

In the blink of an eye, a cold wind swept through, and countless pale purple roses made of ice, along with vines and thorns, sprang up from the ground!

This Rose Garden move is Ultear's ultimate move. She doesn't use it lightly, but when she does, it's always amazing. However, what's amazing isn't its power, but its beauty!

As the magic swept through, the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

The entire arena was covered with vibrant roses. In the biting wind, tiny ice crystals drifted by, refracting the sunlight with dazzling brilliance. They were like real rose pollen, and when they were blown into the stands, the audience felt as if they were in a rose garden, and could even smell a faint fragrance.

"What a nice view!"

"It smells so good!!"

"It's so cold!!!"

This 'Rose Garden' spell not only interrupted the twin girls' magic, but also trapped them in the flower bushes, unable to escape.

Amidst the flowers, the two sisters were gradually covered in ice. The rose petals were incredibly hard, and the vines, thorns, and spikes were even sharper, not only tearing their clothes to shreds but also piercing their bodies, leaving faint bloodstains. The blood flowed slowly down the petals, as if trying to dye this icy garden a true red.
