A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

The attack came to an abrupt halt in front of Imbele. Natsu clenched his fist, gathered his strength, and slammed it down towards the Ice God Robe: "Flame Dragon King's... Crushing Fist!!"

boom!!!

Flames erupted instantly, terrifying energy bursting between the fist and the armor, causing a slight tremor in space. White air currents burst forth in all directions, creating a terrifying storm!

At the very center of the energy, Natsu's all-out attack failed to achieve the expected damage. The Ice God Armor's defense remained unbreakable, just like a true ice armor from the Demon Realm. Not only was it completely unharmed by Natsu's terrifyingly high-temperature flames, but its properties were even passively triggered, beginning to freeze Natsu's fist.

"What?!"

Natsu's eyes widened instantly, his pupils contracted, and he felt an endless chill spreading from his arm to his body, with frost even forming on his fist, wrist, and part of his forearm.

The bone-chilling cold didn't freeze Natsu's flames, nor did it crush his confidence; on the contrary, it strengthened his belief in victory: "Oooohhhhhh!!!"

With his magical energy being squeezed out once more, and Dragon Slayer Magic pushed to its limit, dragon scales even appeared at the corners of Natsu's eyes!

"This is……?!"

Imbel, who was right next to him, noticed the change immediately. He was startled and his magic was momentarily weakened, but Natsu seized the opportunity and added three more points of power to his Flame Smash Fist!

Snapped! !

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the Ice God Robe!

Inbell was horrified, his eyes wide with disbelief: "How is this possible?! My Ice God Robe has actually..."

"Stop looking down on me!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Natsu interrupted his whisper with a loud shout, and then Imbal heard a sentence that would be etched into his soul forever—

"I am... a mage from Fairy Tail!"

boom!!!

With a muffled thud that echoed throughout the entire venue, the Ice God Robe was shattered to pieces, while Inbel was sent flying by Natsu's punch, tumbling several times in the air, his glasses even being knocked off!

As the flames subsided, Natsu slowly stood up. The ice from his Ice God Robe had covered his entire right arm and half of his body, but his gaze remained unwavering.

He won this duel!

The entire venue was silent for a few seconds, followed by loud and enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"That's amazing!!"

"Well done!!!"

"Wow, that's amazing... Nazsan..."

Back in Fairy Tail's territory, Stinger also exclaimed loudly. Looking at Natsu, who was showing great prowess on the field, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and his face was filled with endless longing and anticipation.

"Natsu in this world is much stronger than Natsu in my world!"

Lucy from World 1 couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh?! Are you serious??"

"Of course!!"

Happy flapped his wings happily between the two Lucys: "Natsu is strong no matter which world he's in~"

"That fire dragon bastard has gotten even stronger..."

Natsu's behavior clearly provoked Gajeel, who began to reflect on whether he had been too obsessed with the creation of humans lately.

Also provoked was Natsu's eternal partner and rival, Gray: "Tch! Natsu beat me to it? I was hoping to defend Ice Make Magic, but looks like I'll have to wait until next time."

On the other side, watching Natsu being cheered by the audience, and recalling the dragon scales that had just faded from his face, Zeref smiled with satisfaction.

"You really have become stronger! Natsu..."

Chapter 725 The Temporarily Delayed Showdown

"The third singles duel has ended, and the winner is Laxus Doraemon!"

Amidst a series of stuttering sounds, Chapati announced the outcome of the sixth match.

Before the battle began, no one expected the duel to end so quickly. In less than three minutes, Laxus defeated Macala from the Heart of the Dragon.

Both are second-generation Dragon Slayer Mages, but their strengths are worlds apart; this is the difference in their talent!

"Congratulations to Team Laxus for scoring another point. The score is now tied at three to three with Team Kira."

Laxus, walking back to the waiting area from the arena, glared at the grinning Kira: "You're something else... You've pinned all your hopes on the doubles battle, haven't you? Sending someone like that to the last spot in the singles battle?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'that kind of guy'?!"

Kira immediately nipped Laxus's misguided thoughts in the bud, "She's a second-generation Dragon Slayer Mage, okay?! She's an excellent mage, okay?!"

"And what do you mean I pinned all my hopes on the two-person battle? Didn't I send Timaria into the one-person battle? It's just that her performance disappointed everyone. You know her magic, there aren't many who can break it! If she hadn't been playful and careless, leading to her loss in that duel, I wouldn't even need to fight now..."

"Besides, what's wrong with me, the strongest member of the squad, guarding the last line of defense?"

After a barrage of verbal attacks, Laxus was left speechless.

Seeing Laxus remain silent, Kira said slowly, "Instead of sulking here, you should think about things on the bright side. For example... if this one-on-one battle were between me and you, wouldn't you have only made it this far in the Grand Magic Games?"

"What did you say?!" Laxus felt deeply insulted and rolled up his sleeves, ready to strike.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, it's my turn to perform!" Kira quickly stepped aside and then walked off the stage on his own.

"Let's go, Kana!"

Kira waved to Cana behind him to follow, then turned his gaze to another waiting area not far away, where two stunningly beautiful girls were adjusting their clothes and preparing to walk into the arena, just like him and Cana.

The white-haired girl is gentle and sweet, while the red-haired girl is heroic and spirited. The two exude different charms, yet they are equally eye-catching.

"Go all out! After all, our enemies are those two women!"

However, just as Kira and his three companions were getting ready to fight for their final showdown, a sudden downpour disrupted the course of the match.

Since the last two-person duel, that is, the battle between Natsu and Inbel, dark clouds have gathered in the sky above the venue, making it gloomy and oppressive. However, the audience was so enthusiastic at the time that they did not pay attention to it and started the one-on-one battle between Laxus and Macala.

With the rain pouring down, it would be one thing if the final match had already started, but since it's currently in a break between matches, there's no reason to force it to start.

More importantly, the venue is open-air with no shelter. Even if the mages are willing to compete in the pouring rain and the judges are willing to commentate in the pouring rain, we can't expect the more than 50,000 spectators to watch the competition in the pouring rain as well. With such a large population gathered, what if something happens to any of them? Wouldn't a large number of people fall ill in the following days?

Therefore, the organizers had to suspend the competition and wait until the rain stopped before resuming it.

The rain kept falling for two whole hours without stopping, and showed no signs of letting up. According to some meteorological experts, the rain would continue into the night, so the organizers had no choice but to suspend today's matches until tomorrow.

Left with no other choice, the audience left disappointed, with more than 50,000 people soaked in the rain, staging a peculiar spectacle.

"More than 50,000 people... that would have been more than enough for an entire army in ancient times..."

Following the crowd around him, Kira slowly descended the mountain back to Crocus. Looking at the throngs of people along the way, Kira felt a mix of emotions, including immense regret.

Why is it a pity? You've lost the chance to show off in front of everyone, and you've also missed out on a romantic, wet and wild dance with popular beauties Erza and Mira in the rain! Tell me, isn't that a loss?

"Loss! Huge loss! We're losing money hand over fist!!"

"What have you been muttering to yourself since just now?" Cana's voice rang in Kira's ear.

"nothing……"

Kira subconsciously retorted, and as he turned his head, he inadvertently took a closer look at Cana's figure out of the corner of his eye. She was large, smooth, full, and slender, and apart from a slight blemish on her skin, she was quite a beauty.

"If you think about it that way, there should be three..."

I don't know how Gildas, who travels all year round and still has such fair skin, could have a daughter like Kana with a wheatish complexion. Could it be inherited from her mother?

"What three?" Cana frowned. With a woman's intuition, she subconsciously felt that Kira was thinking something not good.

"It's nothing. I was just saying that three people have already traveled from parallel worlds."

At this point, it was impossible to tell the truth. It would be bad if others found out that he was staring at her wet body. Kira still had to save face, so he casually found a similar topic to brush it off.

"Three?! Isn't it just Lucy from World 1? Could there be others?!"

When Kira said that three outsiders had come to the world, Cana was surprised, but she knew that he was not the kind of person to make baseless accusations. If he said that, he must have either already seen the other party or had definite information in his hands.

Kira didn't answer Cana's question. In fact, he didn't have any information. He just felt that since two had already appeared, it wouldn't be surprising if a third appeared. Besides, wasn't that android of his, from who-knows-which world, still hopping around somewhere in this world? Saying there were three wasn't wrong.

Almost no one around noticed their conversation, except for Wendy, who was nearby, short, and had excellent hearing. The little girl's understanding of Kira was similar to Cana's, and she immediately thought: 'Three people? Where did this third person come from??'

'Could it be that besides Lucy #1 and Future Wendy #5, someone else has come here? But how did Killasan know?'

"Speaking of which, Wendy (number 5) told me not to tell anyone about her arrival, and I kept my promise. But Kirasan found out on his own, so it shouldn't have anything to do with me..."

More than an hour later, the mages finally followed the crowd back to Crocus.

"What a pity! The final battle wasn't fought, so there won't be the grand feast prepared by the Fiore royal family tonight!"

As soon as they returned to the capital, the crowd dispersed. Kira stood in the middle of the street, looking wistful. "I had planned to eat as little as possible today and save my stomach for tonight, but it looks like I'll have to go and eat something good by myself!"

Kira has been to Crocus several times, but he hasn't tried all the local delicacies; in fact, he's only tried less than a tenth of them.

"You guys go back first, I'm going to go for a walk..."

After saying goodbye to his companions, Kira turned and headed towards the food street—even though it was raining, the restaurants still had to stay open for business.

Watching Kira walk away alone into the rain, his companions who were still watching him exchanged glances, then muttered, "This guy... went to eat alone again?"

With heavy rain pouring down, everyone in the guild was soaked to the bone. They also had elderly people and children to take care of, so they didn't have the leisure to brave the downpour to go to a restaurant for a meal.

Although they haven't had lunch yet due to the game, it doesn't matter where they eat.

Whenever the weather is like this, the members of Fairy Tail prefer to stay in the tavern, drinking and chatting with their companions, watching beautiful women sing and dance—how comfortable and carefree!

"Forget it, let's just ignore him."

Shaking their heads helplessly, the group turned and headed towards the guild's lodging inn.

Chapter 726 They came knocking in the rain...

It's just past noon now, and the restaurants are practically empty.

The moment Kira stepped into the restaurant, he held his umbrella out again and shook it to make sure there were no water stains before putting it back in his personal space. He then used drying magic to dry the rain-soaked parts of his clothes and shoes before stepping inside.

The waitress was also surprised that a customer would come to the store in this kind of weather, especially such a handsome, charming, extraordinary, and otherworldly man who embodies all the good things in the world.

The initial frustration of being assigned to watch the store by the manager due to the torrential rain instantly vanished. Upon seeing Kira, the waitress's eyes lit up and then turned into two constantly beating pink hearts.
