A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Ouch..." Kana endured the pain, touching her arm as she got up. "I'm glad I blocked it quickly, otherwise my chest would have collapsed... By the way, I think I bumped into something?"

"Huh? Kira, what are you doing lying on the ground?"

"Look at the blue and white stripes... no, look at the blue sky and white clouds."

Although he was knocked away, Kira managed to escape Erza's repeated attacks. After catching his breath on the ground, he got up again and prepared to start the third round.

"As expected, I'm still not suited for close combat!" Kira's eyes began to turn serious. "It's my turn now!"

"Chains of Light!!"

Kira, who hadn't used his Word of Power magic in a long time, uttered that familiar, simple spell name as soon as he spoke. He raised his left hand and pointed his fingers together, and magic power instantly condensed into dozens of white chains that burst forth from the ground and flew towards Erza and Mira at the same time.

"Mira, watch out!" Erza shouted a warning.

Without needing a reminder, Mira had already reacted, leaping away from her original position. But how could Kira let the two off so easily? He controlled the white light chains and gave chase.

Kira's attacks were swift and dense, his chains as agile and cunning as venomous snakes that had lived for centuries. For a time, Erza and Mira were caught off guard in the arena, and the two could only rely on their intuition, experience, and superhuman speed to dodge the snake-like chains like a dance amidst the frequent chain attacks.

"What troublesome chains!"

Erza muttered a complaint under her breath, forcibly suppressing the conditioned reflex of wanting to draw her sword. Although she was annoyed, she still retained her rationality and knew that she absolutely could not cut these chains!

Because this is a magic specially created by Kira, it can only be dodged, not blocked. If you block it with a weapon, the weapon will be instantly bound by the light chains. In fact, if you don't release it quickly, the light chains will bind the person along the weapon and arm, which is not worth the risk.

"Light Rain Cannonballs!!"

Seeing that the two were easily pursued by the chains, Kira immediately increased his strength. His right hand opened like a cannon, and his abundant magic power condensed into light projectiles, which he fired wildly at Erza and Mira, giving them no chance to breathe, and stirring up a lot of dust in the arena.

"Ora ora ora... taste the power of the Prince's Battle Technique!!" Kira became more and more excited as he bombarded the enemy, and his face even showed an excited expression like that of a Saiyan who was fighting to the point of ecstasy.

With Kira's magical proficiency, a single light cannonball would be enough to blow someone away. But now, the density of these cannonballs is so high that they seem to be firing without any magical power. Not to mention two people, even twenty people wouldn't be able to withstand this firepower.

Most importantly, the real danger of these cannonballs is not their power, but the binding magic they are all imbued with. If you are hit by one of them, it is almost equivalent to ending the game.

In the arena, Erza and Mira, one clad in the fastest flying armor and the other receiving the infinitely enhanced Raging Flower, moved swiftly, their figures like demons dancing freely or fairies frolicking among flowers, their speed leaving several afterimages in the air.

If the previous battles with Kira were a contest of strength and skill, this was now a duel of reflexes and speed. With the combined force of cannonballs and chains, their movements began to show openings.

As it turned out, even with her speed exceeding the limit, it was still far from enough under the cover of fire. When Erza realized that she could not escape the combined attack of cannonballs and chains, she decisively chose to give up.

"So what if you get bound by a hit? I may not have much else, but I have plenty of weapons!"

Knight's magic activated, weapon summoned!

With a shout, hundreds of weapons appeared out of thin air and, under Erza's control, plummeted straight down from the sky, precisely passing through the holes in the chains of light and embedding themselves in the ground.

"Alright! Now that the chains are done, it's time for the cannonballs!!"

All sorts of weapons, under Erza's control, split into two parts. One part floated in front of her and Mira to block the endless barrage of bullets, while the other part went around to attack Kira directly from behind!

"Chains, cannonballs, and bindings—can you still guarantee your safety by using three kinds of magic at the same time?" Erza's voice was slightly provocative, but Kira could hear a hint of unease in it.

Why does Erza feel guilty?

Because she knew that Kira would never do something he wasn't sure of!

"Hmph... Just kidding!" Kira chuckled. "I'm the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!!"

"Barrier of Light!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, holy light condensed into a transparent tortoise shell defense around Kira, covering him from all directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—leaving no gaps for Erza's weapon.

Erza was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Cana, who was hiding behind Kira and doing nothing, and said, "You two really have similar fighting styles! Is this the popular fighting style this year?"

Kana chuckled: "Why do you all seem to have no idea? He made all the cards!"

Using the weapons she had accumulated, Erza successfully turned the tide of the battle, switching from defense to offense. Mira, on the other hand, rushed towards Cana, intending to eliminate the nearly exhausted girl while Erza was entangled with her.

But with Kira around, how could their plan possibly succeed?

"Hey hey hey... I'm still here! I said it's my turn now!!" Kira waved his hand lightly a few more times from within the barrier, using another spell he hadn't used in a long time.

"Amaterasu Senshiki!"

The magic circle formed instantly, targeting two objects, each with a radius of only one meter, yet they appeared precisely where Erza and Mira were standing.

"Oh no! It's Amaterasu-type magic..."

Kira's Amaterasu series of spells took shape quickly, with dozens of magical runes intertwining without any hindrance, instantly wrapping the two landing points layer upon layer, eventually enveloping them in a 'ball of light' that looked like a rice dumpling.

"Diamond Armor!!"

Erza knew how powerful Kira's attack was, but she had been distracted by controlling the weapon and now it was too late to dodge. She could only grit her teeth and block it, putting on her strongest defensive armor.

On the other side, Mira ran headlong into the encirclement of the Amaterasu magic circle and had no choice but to abandon her plan to attack Cana. She had long heard of the power of the 'Amaterasu Tin Series' and immediately changed to a new form without hesitation.

"Receive the Netherworld Beast!"

Since the Battle of Sirius Island, most of the demons in the Gates of Hell have been taken over by Mira, including the Netherworld Beast, which is the largest and most powerful of all the demons.

"Art is an explosion! Yeah!"

Kira, mimicking Deidara from next door, shouted a loud slogan and unhesitatingly unleashed his magic. Two spells detonated simultaneously, and a deafening explosion echoed through the arena!

boom!!

A fierce wind swept through the arena, dust billowed and obscured visibility, and the arena fell silent as the audience stared wide-eyed, waiting for the outcome of the explosion. Even Kira stopped his attack.

"Is it... over?" Kana asked haltingly as she watched this scene.

Kira's gaze swept between the two plumes of smoke: "Of course..."

However, at that moment, amidst the billowing smoke, two more beams of cold light shot out!

"not yet!!"

Two cold lights flashed one after the other, both moving very fast. Erza was in front, and Mira was behind, both attacking Kira at the same time.

"Heavenly Armor of Gods!!"

"Demon Strike!!"

Erza donned her strongest armor and wielded a sword-wielding halberd capable of slicing through all magic. Her attacks were unstoppable; chains, cannonballs, restraints, and barriers were all useless against this strike. It was her second-ranked trump card—the first being the Conviction Slash, but that was not for this situation, nor was it a move she could use against her comrades.

"They didn't communicate at all, yet they're so in sync... Even if they planned the battle last night, there's no reason why they could time it so perfectly, right?"

Kira couldn't help but make a comment, secretly shipping Amy and Kira for a while.

Their battle plan was clear: Erza would take the lead and break through Kira's magical defenses, then Mira would follow up with a punch to finish him off. This strategy targeted Kira's only weakness: his lack of close combat skills and his frail physique.

but……

"My magical talent is always unexpected!" Kira spread his hands, magic flowed, and he used a spell he had never used before.

"Spatial displacement!!"

In the blink of an eye, Kira and Mira's figures switched places, and the two attacks that were originally aimed at Kira turned into mutual attacks.

"Oh no!!" The unexpected turn of events startled Erza and Mira at the same time. In the nick of time, their tacit understanding was once again demonstrated, and they each withdrew 30% of their power.

clang--!!

The sword and halberd collided violently with the Demon Fist, unleashing a violent energy surge that spread wildly in all directions, its unparalleled power once again sweeping across the arena.

Chapter 733 Kira: I'm done playing, I'm laying my cards on the table!

"Kira can use space magic?!"

Makarov in the stands gasped, his old eyes widening: "How can this brat have such high magical talent? Could he be the illegitimate son of the God of Magic?"

Why couldn't I learn that back then? It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others!

Magic also has a talent threshold, which mainly depends on the nature of the mage's magic. Without this talent, no matter how much a mage studies, it will be useless.

Spatial magic belongs to the category that requires a high level of talent. The closer the related magic is to space, the higher the difficulty, which in turn leads to a scarcity of mages who can use these spells.

Although everyone had seen Kira use spatial magic before, most of it was low to medium-level magic such as Celestial Spirit, Summoning, and Disguise. They had never seen a high-level spatial magic like 'Spatial Displacement' before.

Erza and Mira, who had just taken a short rest, were now looking at Kira with serious expressions.

"This guy... he's been hiding this trick all along."

"Looks like winning is going to be even more difficult now."

Compared to the two, Kira was arrogant and haughty, hands in his pockets, seemingly oblivious to the existence of opponents: "Give up, you can't possibly defeat me!"

"..."

Erza and Mira exchanged a glance: "Even though we can't beat them, we really don't want to give up like this!"

"Yeah, saying something like that is just so rude!"

When Mira takes over her demon form, not only is her tone less gentle than usual, but her manner of speaking also reverts to its violent nature. This contrast is truly shocking!

Kira checked the time and realized that twenty minutes of the battle had already passed: "It's about time to end this!"

This duel should have belonged to yesterday. We don't know how it will go today. Twenty minutes is more than enough. If we keep playing, there won't be any left to play today.

Erza flew into a rage, grabbing her sword and halberd to throw: "You think it's over just like that? You think we..."

However, she was stopped halfway through her sentence because Kira, who had been standing in front of her, vanished without a trace in an instant.

What about people? !

Before I could think any further, I heard a muffled thud behind me, followed by a hand pressing down on my head from behind, and then... I lost consciousness.

Thud! Thud!

Kira withdrew his hand, looked at Erza and Mira lying unconscious at his feet, nodded in satisfaction, and then clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.

"It's done!"

"So it's over now, isn't it?... Hmm? Why is it so quiet? Where's the applause? Where's the cheering?"

Sensing something amiss in the arena, Kira looked up at the audience and saw them all staring in disbelief at the sudden change in the arena, unsure of what to say.

"Huh? Are you all so shocked that you forgot to cheer?"

Kira waved to the audience, but did not get the expected reaction. He was a little surprised, but he quickly figured out why. "That makes sense. After all, my strength is like a dimensional attack to them. It's normal that they can't accept it for a while."

But isn't watching for this long a bit excessive? At least make some noise! ​​This makes me feel like my pretentious act isn't fulfilling at all!

Thinking this, Kira shouted at the judges' platform, "Hey!! Chapatisan! Both of them are incapacitated, so I won this duel! You can announce the result now!!"
