A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"Could it be a prank? In any case, the appearance of ten thousand dragons in Crocus is just too shocking!"

"Didn't dragons disappear a long time ago? Where are we going to find ten thousand of them?"

Faced with everyone's speculation and doubts, Thomas had expected it: "At first, I also thought it was just a prank by someone who sneaked into the palace, but the letter listed the results of each day's competition in this Grand Magic Games in order to prove his point."

"I originally planned to gather everyone yesterday, but I didn't expect it to rain so heavily, so I had to postpone it until now."

"Up to this day, the results of the first six days of this competition have been exactly as predicted in that letter. Even the changes in the competition time from five days to seven days, the postponement of the final 'seven-round duel' due to heavy rain on the fifth day, and the list of the top four mages on the sixth day have all been accurate!"

"Seeing this situation, I have no choice but to believe what's on the website."

King Thomas looked somewhat agitated, which made sense; anyone in that situation would find it difficult to remain calm.

The mages fell silent after hearing this; no matter how you looked at it, it was hardly good news.

Just then, Kira suddenly asked, "Now that we have the results for the first six days, what about the seventh day?"

Kira believes that if the letter was sent by someone who knows the future of their world, then if things don't go according to plan on the seventh day, something else might happen.

However, King Thomas's next answer took Kira by surprise.

He shook his head regretfully and replied, "That letter only contained the results of the first six days of the competition; it didn't contain the results of the seventh day!"

Faced with King Thomas's urgent plea for help, the mages of the various magic guilds readily agreed, simply because they were citizens of the Kingdom of Fiore.

Besides, fighting dragons, especially tens of thousands of them, sounds terrifying, but for proud mages, it's a rare and valuable opportunity to showcase their abilities.

However, even though the mages promised to help the royal family by extending a helping hand to the Dragons' invasion of Crocus, they were at a loss for what to do. So, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn when they left the banquet.

The following day, March 7.

This is the day of destiny in the Fairy Tail world. On this day in history, the Dragon Slayers traveled from 400 years ago to 777 in order to defeat Acnologia. Because this plan was completed by the Heartfilia family and their descendants, it is also known as the Promised Day.

However, Kira does remember that there was a background music song of the same name used as the opening theme of the anime regarding the promised day.

Since this was the final day of the Grand Magic Games, after all the mages and spectators had entered, the host quickly began the tense and exciting semi-finals.

First to appear were Kira and Jura. One was the leader of Fairy Tail and was known as the strongest of the new generation in the magic world, while the other was the ace of Boa Hancock. Both were also among the Ten Wizard Saints, so their duel was highly anticipated.

"I never expected to fight you first..."

Kira sighed and looked at Jura in the distance. Jura simply smiled and nodded before turning and walking towards the arena.

"Go for it, Kira!"

"Come back with victory!!"

"Let's win the game decisively, just like always!!"

Kira's companions cheered him on, their words filled with confidence in him.

Kira chuckled easily: "Of course!!"

……

"Finally, I can fight you, Kirasan! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Jura, his hands tucked into his sleeves, strode over to Kira and stood before him. His eyes shone brightly, and his face radiated barely suppressed excitement. "However, your battle with Erza and Mira must have taken its toll. Are you able to unleash your full power?"

The sunlight reflecting off his bald head made Kira suspect that he was about to unleash the Solar Punch.

"Don't worry, my body isn't that weak! It might sound impolite to say this, but I don't think dealing with you will be much more difficult than dealing with anyone else."

In the previous matches, Kira had only experienced three battles: one was a one-against-seven fight during a hunt, the second was a duo battle with Erza against Neinhardt and Jacob, and the last was yesterday, when he teamed up with Cana to eliminate Erza and Mira. In all three battles, he barely exerted himself and won easily.

From a social etiquette perspective, Kira's words were quite impolite, but Jura wasn't angry at all. Instead, he showed a delighted expression, and an even stronger fighting spirit surged from his body: "That's really something to look forward to!!"

This uncle has a really good temper, or perhaps because he is often compared to Kira, he has always wanted to prove himself superior to Kira.

Kira was starting to feel reluctant to treat him the same way he had treated the others.

"I wonder if Lord Kira can promise me that he will not hold back in the match and will fight me seriously to determine a winner?"

It seemed that his previous battle had ignited Jura's competitive spirit. Although Kira felt helpless towards such a person, he could only generously say, "Don't worry! I will definitely do my best!"

Clang clang clang!!

"Battle begins!!"

On the judges' stage, Chapati was visibly excited. The two most famous mages in the Kingdom of Fiore in recent years had decided the winner of the Grand Magic Games, which was sure to be the headline news today. Regardless of the outcome, it had certainly generated a lot of buzz for the competition.

A promotion and raise are likely in the future!

Chapter 746 Kira, the Most Popular

"Iron-clad pillar!!"

The duel began. Even though Kira had already exhausted some resources, Jura dared not be careless in the slightest. Without hesitation, he used his signature move, attempting to use the stone pillars to inflict massive damage, or at the very least, trap Kira or cause serious disruption.

Jura knew that the chances of it causing any damage were extremely slim. Not to mention that Kira also knew rock magic and used it more skillfully than he did, his performance in all his previous matches made it impossible for him to be hit by such a move.

The possibility of him being trapped is low, but not impossible. However, breaking free wouldn't be too difficult for him, which would create interference and give him time to prepare his next move.

"Iron Spire!!"

Sharp stone spears rise from the ground. This move, like the Iron Wall, is used to disrupt and buy time for the ultimate move. In addition, there is another reason: to make as many rocks as possible appear on the field and gain a geographical advantage.

Feeling the tremors beneath his feet, Kira muttered to himself. He had already mentally rehearsed the magic that Jura might use, and was now fully prepared to deal with it.

"It's the same old routine!"

As he spoke, Kira clenched his right fist, which was filled with immense magical power. The power transformed into a pure white, shimmering light. The magic was so concentrated that unless one was close enough to experience it closely, or had considerable experience and talent in magical perception, one would not be able to discern the energy contained within.

The stone pillars and spears attacked at strange speeds and from tricky angles, about to hit Kira in an instant. But he remained calm and composed, displaying the air of a king who would not flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. Then he slammed down with a backhand punch.

"Crush!!"

With a loud shout, boundless energy erupted, blasting the stone pillars, stone spears, and even the ground beneath their feet into dust.

Gildas, watching from the stands, muttered under his breath, "That Kira brat, he's using my magic again..."

He complained, but his eyes shone brightly.

Gildarts was greatly pleased that Kira was using the magic he had taught him in this situation, secretly pondering: 'Kira said he would use his full power before, but now he's using shattering magic instead of other spells. What does this mean? It means he thinks shattering magic is the best, or that it's his strongest spell, so I'm the strongest person in his eyes!'

After a brief self-analysis, Gildas couldn't help but laugh out loud: "In every aspect, it's equivalent to saying that my strength is still at the top of this world!"

Those around Gildas, noticing the change in his expression, began to whisper among themselves: "What is that Gildas grinning about like an idiot for?"

"I don't know... He's usually a bit silly! Maybe he was thinking about something happy??"

On the other side, Jura did not stop his magic just because Kira broke it. On the contrary, he fought even more vigorously. With a 'snap', he clasped his hands together and used the third move.

"Iron Fist!!"

The surging magic power drew the scattered rubble that Kira had blasted into a mess, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered in mid-air, transforming into a giant rock fist, which, under Jura's control, slammed down on Kira.

However, Kira neither dodged nor evaded. He simply raised his right palm, and magic erupted from it in the form of a shockwave: "Crush!!"

The shattering magic struck again, blasting the rocks into pieces once more.

"Amaterasu Thousand Style!!" Kira then pointed, and countless white runes immediately appeared on the ground, surrounding Jura and blocking all her way.

'That was the move we just used...'

Seeing himself surrounded by a visible spell, Jura was horrified and quickly used his strongest defensive magic to summon a stone statue in the shape of a war god: "Rock Mountain!!"

Boom! The stone sculpture was blown to pieces before it could even take shape.

"What?! This is unbelievable..."

Jura was terrified and immediately tried to re-establish her defense, only to find herself completely paralyzed. She was even more alarmed, "I can't move?! Why…"

"Magic-inlaid chains!!"

Kira's attack speed was very fast, giving Jura no chance to breathe. The binding magic hidden in Amaterasu Magic immobilized him, and then he raised his hand to strike again.

"Divine Sanction!!"

The surging magical power poured down like a galaxy from the heavens, crashing down on Jura, who was now exposed to the Amaterasu magic circle after the destruction of the rocky mountain!

The tight and powerful magic combo left all the mages stunned.

"Kira's casting speed is so fast!!"

"Is this the power of Word Magic...?"

"As expected of the Ten Wizard Saints, every move they make is incredibly powerful!!"

The intense magical attack swiftly destroyed all of Jura's defenses. Under the combined assault of Amaterasu and Divine Judgment, Jura was engulfed by endless energy, and the ground beneath her feet was shattered, causing her to plummet dozens of meters below the arena into the belly of a mountain!

The earth shook, the wind howled, and yellow sand filled the sky. The shockwaves caused by the two great magic spells continued to have a chain reaction, spreading in all directions and engulfing the entire arena with overwhelming force.

After the smoke and dust cleared, everyone discovered that the arena floor had been completely destroyed by the two magical attacks, leaving only a huge crater that exposed rocks buried for who knows how many years on the inner walls of the mountain.

Jura lay unconscious on the ground, while Kira, with its snow-white wings spread on its back, hovered gracefully in mid-air, looking down at Jura with a calm expression.

Bathed in the sunlight, Kira looked like an angel descended from heaven, a stark contrast to Jura, who was shrouded in shadow.

"The battle...the battle is over!!"

Tears welled up in Chapati's eyes with excitement, and his deafening shout was a true reflection of his feelings at that moment: "The winner is... the mage of 'Fairy Tail'! Kira Hopelight!!!"

Kira and Jura, two popular mages who have been regarded as the leading young generation of magicians in the Kingdom of Fiore in recent years, have finally settled their score in a fair and square battle!

This also means that, in terms of both overall strength and high-end combat power, Fairy Tail is clearly ranked above Boa Hancock! Previous claims such as "it's still uncertain who will be stronger if the two guilds really fight" are completely disproven!

Even though Gildarts, the legendary figure from Fairy Tail, is no longer active in the public eye, Fairy Tail remains the leading force in the magical world of the Kingdom of Fiore for the present and at least the next thirty years!

A new era has dawned in the wizarding world, and this era is called Kira Hopwright!!

Wow!! That's amazing!

"I knew Lord Kira would win!!"

"What a pity, I quite like Jurasan..."

The cheers of the audience echoed throughout the Grand Magic Games venue.

Kira's victory brought Fairy Tail's reputation to its peak once again, completely surpassing Boa Hancock and the dark horse that emerged this year, Emperor's Shield.

After seeing Kira easily finish the first half of the semi-final, the Fairy Tail mages turned their attention to Laxus, who was about to start the second half.

His opponent is Larkad, the man who put 50,000 spectators in a special state yesterday.
