A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Just then, Laxus suddenly appeared on the battlefield!

Laxus didn't appear in the sky to unleash the lightning bolts; instead, he appeared on the ground, right between Jura and Jellal, directly in front of Acnologia. However, instead of rescuing Jura and Jellal, he decisively took action.

Lightning Dragon Slayer Technique, Laxus's strongest move!

He concentrated all his magical power into his right fist, and his entire body burst forth with dazzling golden light, while electric current crackled and surged around him.

Hundreds of mages watched this scene with bated breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

"This punch is for that guy (Serena)! Remember that!!" Laxus roared furiously, gathering all his strength to punch Acnologia in the chin!

Over the past six months, Serena and Laxus have often trained secretly in places unknown to others.

To become stronger, Laxus often sparred with Serena using Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. Because of Laxus's exceptional talent, Serena helped him wholeheartedly, and the two forged a deep friendship, which could be described as a mentor-student relationship.

Therefore, seeing Serena beaten like this, Laxus naturally couldn't stand it.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Thunderclap!!"

Bang! ! !

A loud thud echoed across the field, and the golden light and the crackling of electricity vanished simultaneously, as a muscular figure flew through the air!

"Did it work?!"

Unfortunately, no! It wasn't Acnologia who got knocked away, it was Laxus!

As Laxus threw his punch, Acnologia reacted first, quickly raising his right foot and delivering a powerful kick to Laxus's stomach!

"Cough—!!"

"Laxus?!!" ×N

Seeing Laxus fly backward with a livid face, coughing up blood as he flew, clearly suffering from internal organ damage, the Thors panicked instantly and rushed forward to catch him.

But Acnologia's kick was not so easy to withstand. Not only did the three of them fail to catch Laxus, but they were also sent flying by the powerful force, flying back twenty or thirty meters, smashing through several boulders along the way, until they were completely buried by the rubble and passed out before they could even say a word.

"The old man from the Yato clan next door once asked a good question: Which is more powerful, a punch that hits someone or a punch that kills? The answer is, the foot that kicks someone to death!"

Watching Laxus's attempt to show off backfire and get him beaten up instead, Kira couldn't bear to look and couldn't help but mutter, "Seriously... I shouldn't have let this guy show off everywhere! Now look what happened, he's learned his lesson..."

"How could this be..."

This sudden turn of events was unexpected not only by Laxus, but also by Jura and Jellal, who were nearby, and even more so by the other mages who were providing support behind them.

Jura, Laxus, and Jellal are all among the most outstanding young mages. The first two even achieved third and fourth place in this Grand Magic Games. Yet, these people were powerless against Acnologia, leaving the spectators horrified and shaken.

Chapter 784 Kira: I'll have to take action!

Arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, conceit... these vile qualities are evident everywhere in Acnologia.

Acnologia pulled back his leg, shook his arms to send Jura and Gerald flying, and looked at Laxus buried under the rubble, coldly saying, "Thirteen left!"

Thirteen left?? You just beat Serena and said there were fourteen left, now you've knocked out Laxus and say there are thirteen left. So you're counting down the score?

"Kira, can you tolerate this guy showing off in front of you?"

Eric walked up to Kira at some point, his face full of indignation, as if Kira had been greatly insulted and his good friend couldn't swallow this insult.

Kira remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on Eric, following his defiant and resentful eyes down until he saw Eric's trembling legs.

This guy's ulterior motives are so obvious... Could it be that his IQ has dropped because he's been in 'The Witch's Sin' for too long?

"I am not a Dragon Slayer Mage!"

Eric gave an awkward laugh and argued, "No... what does this have to do with whether you're a Dragon Slayer or not? You're the strongest mage in Ishgar right now, you certainly wouldn't let Acnologia go on a killing spree, would you?"

“That’s true, but I can’t stop him anytime soon, and besides, I don’t have a good plan.” Kira stroked his chin, then his eyes lit up, and he suggested, “How about this, you act as bait, and then I’ll take advantage of the situation…”

Taking advantage of an opportunity? What a load of rubbish!!

Eric turned to leave, but Kira grabbed him, gripping his arm tightly with one hand, and he couldn't pull away no matter what he did.

Just kidding, if I let you leave, how am I supposed to play?

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be safe!" Kira said with a grin, his intentions just as malicious as when he came up to provoke him earlier.

“Your promises?” Eric scoffed. “After knowing you for three months, I knew I couldn’t believe a single word of your promises!”

Three months? You're way too slow! I guarantee others only took a month, or even less!

"Three months... It seems my character and reputation are still up to par."

This person is not ashamed at all, but rather proud of it?!

Eric was completely stunned by Kira's shamelessness. He had always known that Kira's bottom line might be low, but he never thought it would be this low.

Because in his heart, Kira was essentially a good person, just someone who liked to prank others for fun. Although his personality was a bit wicked, he was definitely not bad. This could be seen from the other mages in Fairy Tail. Makarov's education level was still quite good, after all, those who failed in their education had already been expelled from the guild like Ivan, the guild master of Raven Tail.

But using me as bait... could he be serious about this?

Eric didn't doubt Kira's ability to ensure his safety, but deep down he was still reluctant to do so, especially since he and Ginna were still in the honeymoon phase!

Thinking of this, and feeling the power coming from his arm, Eric's face instantly turned pale.

While the two were wasting time on one side, the second round of fighting had already begun on the other.

Jura, Jellal, and Laxus's coordinated attack not only failed to educate Acnologia and boost morale, but also resulted in the loss of one of their key forces, Laxus, as well as the Thunder Legion. This made the remaining mages restless, and in their impatience, they rushed in to fight.

Unfortunately, the magic alliance, though numerous, lacked command and was disorganized. Basically, each guild had its own captain, and they fought independently without coordination. Moreover, most of their attacks were ineffective, serving no purpose other than creating a spectacular scene, because none of these mages knew dragon-slaying magic!

Moreover, the mages of the guild 'Raven's Tail' basically slacked off the whole time. The weak ones didn't dare to go up, and the strong ones waited for their chance. So in the end, only a handful of mages stood at the front and launched the attack.

The leaders are:

Erza from Fairy Tail—she commands nearly thirty mages from Fairy Tail using twin swords instead of her arms, her commanding presence resembling that of a female general who has fought for many years.

Perhaps it was her innate talent, but despite having no experience in leading troops into battle, Erza still became an excellent commander. Her actions of charging left and right with her sword, slaying dragons as if they were nothing, amazed Demaria, who was once known as the 'female knight who gallops across the battlefield'.

The 'Emperor's Shield' of Imber—this guild had one of the fewest members involved in the battle. August, the strongest of the Twelve Shields, did not participate; as the strongest of the Twelve Shields, he had to consider the safety of the others. Those whose magic was ineffective against Acnologia, such as Timaria and Jacob, also largely remained silent.

Then there's Ichiyo from "Blue Pegasus", Jura from "Boa Suzaku", Pakas from "Four-Headed Hound", Jellal from "Sin of the Witch", and Macala from "Heart of the Dragon", among others.

The mages of these guilds put aside the grudges from their past lives—such as the vague grudges between the Normal Light Guild and the Oración Seis, the predecessor of Sin of Witches—and fought bravely and selflessly in this battle.

Ice, fire, wind, thunder, water, weapons, guns, and cannons—a multitude of spells of varying quantities, power, and forms—were unleashed upon Acnologia in one fell swoop. Multicolored magic circles—red, white, green, blue, purple, gold, and black—simultaneously illuminated half the mountain peak.

Kira stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling a sense of familiarity: "It's just like an eight-person team running a dungeon... although the enemies in this dungeon are stronger than ever before."

Unfortunately, most of these attacks were ineffective and a waste of effort.

"Why are you still holding onto me? The fighting has already started over there!!" Eric cursed and shook off Kira's hand. This time Kira didn't hold him back, so he quickly rushed into the battle and stood in an open position to make up for the lack of dragon-slaying magic in that direction.

"The Roar of the Poison Dragon!!"

After Eric joined the battle, Kira strolled over to the only Dragon Slayer mage who hadn't gone up to attack and asked, "How are Laxus and the Thunder God Corps doing?"

Wendy had been transferred from Serena and was receiving treatment there, with Charlene by her side.

In addition, Lisanna, whose magical attacks are negligible and whose presence is very low, is also here. After fighting for a round, she was sent back by Erza to protect Wendy.

Wendy continued treating Laxus, saying without looking up, "The injuries of the three members of the Thor's crew are alright, just superficial wounds that will heal with a little treatment. But Laxus is in a more troublesome situation! His internal organs are severely damaged, and it may be a while before he can fight again!"

Kira's eyes twitched. Severe internal organ damage and still able to fight again?! Shouldn't it be 'it's probably impossible to continue fighting now'?? Wendy's healing magic is that powerful?!

However, despite her doubts, Kira had complete trust in Wendy. She had managed to heal Serena in her condition, so Laxus's situation was much better.

Speaking of which, how come Laxus suffered internal organ damage again after being hit by Acnologia? I remember back on Tenrou Island, he also suffered severe internal organ damage from being hit by Acnologia in his dragon form...

Is Laxus just incredibly unlucky, or does Acnologia simply enjoy gutting people? Oh, right, didn't Gildarts also get hit by him like that once in the original work?

After confirming that Laxus was not in immediate danger, Kira turned his attention back to Acnologia, who was being ganged up on by the mages. Whether it was a misperception or not, Kira seemed quite satisfied with this game of fighting against people in human form. Perhaps this was the pleasure of a max-level player enjoying crushing weaker opponents.

"Rock Iron Blast!!"

"Starfall!!"

"Crush!!"

"Power Perfume!!"

"Drunken Splitting Palm!!"

Thump thump thump... slap slap slap... bang bang bang...

Since ordinary magic is ineffective against Acnologia, each guild can only send out mages with physical attack capabilities, which directly eliminates more than 80% of the mages. Among the remaining 20%, those with the strength to participate in this level of battle are extremely rare. This means that even though there are many people attacking, the effect is minimal.

In addition to this, there is another reason for the severe lack of damage: Acnologia has now turned into human form, which greatly reduces the attack range of the mages, while his movements have become more agile.

Among the hundreds of mages present, not one was a match for them!

The only advantage Acnologia has in this form is that his power is reduced by about 70% compared to his dragon form. But even with only a third of his power, he is still a force to be reckoned with, after all, he just kicked Laxus and caused serious internal damage!

Kira watched quietly for a moment, then frowned and said, "This won't do! Their attacks are too scattered; they're just wasting magic and stamina!"

"I'll have to take action!"

Chapter 785 Thirteen-Layer Magic Array

Admittedly, whether it's Jura's Rock Blast, Gerald's Meteor Shower, Gildarts' Crushing Fist, One Night's Power Perfume Amplification, or Pacas's Chopping Palm, they are all good moves. However, their attacks are completely uncoordinated, so the effect of their attacks is much less than ideal!

As it turns out, throwing punches without any method is really not a good thing!

And so, amidst the fervor of the crowd, Kira finally charged forward, wielding his Dragon Slayer Staff!

"Take this divine punishment!!"

As the magic was transformed, the magic wand held high in his hand released a dazzling holy light, illuminating the entire night sky as bright as day.

To counter the dark attribute, you have to use the holy attribute to restrain it. In this respect, Kira's magic is most effective against Acnologia, and because of the magic staff, he is the only one who can use magic at will.

The holy light pierced through the clouds and mist, instantly tearing apart the ominous clouds that had gathered high above due to Acnologia. The entire night sky looked as if a huge hole had appeared, like a windowpane that had been pierced by a big stick.

Then, with a deafening roar, holy light, like divine punishment, descended straight down into the gaping hole. It was faster and more powerful than the lightning Laxus had used before. All the dark, evil, and corrupt negative magic was burned to ashes as this holy light fell.

boom!!

Holy light descended to earth, accompanied by a thunderous roar!

At the same time, several figures shot out from where the holy light had fallen, their bodies still somewhat disheveled.
