A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Mira wouldn't explain anything about being a 'mage, part-time blacksmith, part-time magic merchant' to her; she simply raised her hand and fired silently, as if she had returned to her old battle state.

"Water flows through twin teeth!"

"Water Flow and Fierce Whip!"

"Water Flows and Rising Clouds"

Mira was attacked with wave after wave of water attacks, but with little effect.

Even Juvia's most familiar magic, after eliminating the slight resistance of the air, could only splash tiny water droplets on the armor, which was less effective than a punch.

Each move failed, each attack yielded no results, and Juvia's magical power gradually diminished under such frequent assaults.

'This can't go on any longer. Juvia's attacks are completely ineffective. If this drags on, the mission will fail. Let's go bring that woman back first.'

Thinking of this, Juvia planned to leave, but how could Mira let her go so easily?

At this moment, she was more worried about the battle on Lucy's side.

'We can't let her go back to deal with Lucy; we at least have to keep her occupied!'

Although Mira had the armor given to her by Kira, she rarely used it and was unsure of its destructive power. Therefore, she lacked confidence in defeating the enemy and could only rely on her unstable magic to try and maximize the armor's combat effectiveness.

Sensing the user's fighting spirit and the infusion of a large amount of magic power, the armor's arms, shoulders, and gloves disintegrated, revealing gun barrels, just like Iron Man's firepower suit.

Whoosh—bang bang bang…

This armor has powerful firepower; if the opponent wasn't Juvia, who can transform into elements, it would probably have been blasted apart long ago.

Logically, since physical attacks are ineffective, the bullets should pass directly through Juvia's body, but strangely, no matter where Juvia stands, Mira's attacks always manage to explode around her.

"Why was it able to keep detonating near Juvia?"

Juvia was unaware that the explosive bullet was specially made by Kira, with an added automatic tracking function. It only locked onto the target at the moment of firing, and the target was designated by the armor. The armor was connected to the wearer's will, so it was equivalent to the armor user directly locking onto the target.

After a series of explosions, Mira stepped forward, ready to settle the score in close combat.

Back in the day, she was able to fight Erza to a standstill in hand-to-hand combat; the two were essentially female versions of Natsu and Gray.

Chapter 101 After the Rain, the Sun Shines

Kira's specially made Mila armor grants the user enhanced melee capabilities, greatly amplifying Mila's combat strength in terms of attack, speed, and defense, almost giving him physical attributes equivalent to those after receiving the Soul of Satan.

Punching, kicking, striking, slapping...

Even Natsu and Isolation, who are very skilled in close combat, were repeatedly defeated by this offensive, let alone Juvia, who fights almost entirely with magic.

Turn around and retreat? Mira caught up with him in the blink of an eye;

A head-on fight? Juvia is no match for Mira, who is wearing the Mila Armor and has essentially regained her original fighting power!

Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as her body was repeatedly torn apart, reassembled, and torn apart again, until...

"Oh no! Juvia's magic..."

When in close contact, the Mithril Armor will suppress the magic of mages to a certain extent, but if the contact is prolonged, it will gradually absorb the magic power of mages as the energy source for the armor.

Whether it was due to prolonged elemental combat, the gradual absorption of magic by the armor, or the decline in stamina during close combat with Mira, Juvia was no longer able to continue fighting.

Bang!

"Hit!" Mira cheered.

'It seems the continuous attacks have made it impossible for her to maintain her elemental magic.'

'Oh no, Juvia's magic can no longer sustain her elemental form...'

The unstable but powerful magic flowed continuously into the Miss Armor, activating the special move that Kira had set up specifically for close combat.

Sensing this, Mira instinctively clenched her left hand into a fist and swung it forward with all her might: "Demon's Left Arm!!!"

'Oh no!'

Juvia was caught off guard and took the hit directly; the powerful force sent her flying.

"Ahhhhh!!"

When Lucy arrived, she only saw Juvia lying unconscious on the ground, and Mira sitting on the ground, exhausted, having already removed her armor.

"The rain...has stopped?"

After the rain, the warm sunlight shone on Mila's face, and her glistening tears reflected a touching glow.

"I did it! Now I have the power to protect my comrades... Thank you, Kira!"

Although tears were streaming down her face, Lucy could clearly feel Mira's joy.

"Lucy, I'm so glad you're alright..."

Lucy went over and hugged Mira, tears streaming down her face, thanking her, "Mira-san... thank you!!"

"Alright, let's go back, Lucy!"

"Ok!"

[Guild Showdown: Fairy Tail vs. Phantom Lord]

Location: Near the Fairy Tail guild

[Participants: Mira vs. Juvia]

[Winner: Mira]

……

"Why haven't Thor and Juvia brought the target yet?! Could there be a change in the operation?"

Meanwhile, Joseph, who was waiting anxiously for news at the Phantom Lord headquarters, said with a look of impatience, "It seems that I have no choice but to go there myself and bring back the mission target!"

……

The ruler of the ghosts, branch.

Kira followed Maklov to the Phantom Lord's guild master, Joseph Paula... a manifestation of his thoughts.

"Joseph! Are you ready to die?"

Maklov was furious, his veins bulging. Although he was small, his energy was not to be underestimated. He was the seventh-ranked mage in the Ten Wizard Saints, and that title alone was enough to demonstrate his strength.

However, he is now facing a mage who is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Joseph sat in an ornate chair, calmly facing the giant's rage: "Makolov... it's been a long time! The last time was six years ago at the regular meeting... we had a few drinks then, and things got quite unpleasant!"

But Makarov ignored Joseph's words and was now furious, wanting nothing more than to beat him up and avenge his child!

"Joseph, I'm not here to reminisce!" Makarov interrupted Joseph abruptly. "Answer my question! Are you prepared for retaliation for going to war with Fairy Tail?!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!!" Joseph laughed wildly. "Of course, Makarov, I've long been ready to fight you! But... not now!"

"Hmm?" Makarov also realized that the Joseph in front of him was not the real person: "Is it a thought form?"

"Joseph!" Makarov shouted, "Where are you?!"

"Yes, where am I now? Makarov, why don't you guess? I've lured you all here, so where am I now? And what is my goal?"

Joseph, in his psychic form, remained calm and collected, using cryptic language to stall for time and provoke Makarov's agitated nerves. His goal was to attract Makarov's attention, distract him, and allow Aria to launch a sneak attack when he was off guard.

As expected, the operation worked. The ever-meticulous Maklov was distracted by Joseph's words. Although he was furious, he was not stupid and began to ponder the other party's purpose.

Joseph stepped forward, completely unconcerned about being harmed as he was a being of thought.

He noticed Kira. He had heard of the title "Sage" before, but he felt that Kira was unworthy of the name. His strength was only about the same as Erza, who was known as the "Fairy Queen". He didn't need to worry about such a person affecting his plans at all, and he didn't need to pay any attention to him!

"This is the genius in the guild you were talking about back then? He certainly looks good. His reputation has spread all over here in recent years. I've heard about him so much I'm sick of it!"

An ugly face loomed right in front of him, and Kira really wanted to punch it, but it was a thought form and he couldn't hit it. He could only use his best pre-battle taunt.

"If you don't want to hear about my reputation, just cut off your ears, won't that solve the problem?"

Kira didn't want to back down; if he did, he would lose in terms of momentum.

He didn't want to close his eyes either, otherwise what if the old man was ambushed?

Kira felt that if the person saying these words to him right now was a beautiful woman, such as Mira or Erza, or someone like Irene who was not only beautiful but also so strong that he couldn't resist, the best thing to do would be to just kiss her.

Even a being with a thought-based body would be startled!

But now the person speaking to him so close to his face is an old and ugly middle-aged man. Even if he is a thought entity, even if he is Dead Kira, he wouldn't do this.

So the best thing to do in this situation is to pretend you didn't see anything!

"Speaking of which, I saw Gajeel from your guild at the council hall before. He said that Phantom Lord was going to wage war against Fairy Tail. Is that right?"

'What?' Joseph was startled. 'I've never heard Gajeel mention this before! He didn't tell me about something so important!'

"I asked him to pass on a message to you at the time, but I don't know if he did?"

Joseph paused for two seconds, then asked, "What did you say?"

"Oh, don't worry, it's not something nice!"

Joseph: "..."

“But since you’ve asked so earnestly, I’ll mercifully tell you,” Kira replied. “It’s to have you write your surrender document first, so it won’t be too late now!”

Joseph was furious upon hearing this: "You brat, how dare you humiliate me like this?!"

"Judging from your condition, you must not have written it, right?" Kira looked at Joseph with pity in his eyes. "If you can't read, you can come work at my shop. I'll teach you to read and write for you free!"

Kira's interruption eased Makarov's mood slightly, and he calmed down a bit.

Joseph, however, lost his temper and laughed in anger: "Hahahaha!! You brat!! Just you wait!! I'll kill you!!"

You should take care of yourself first.

“Makolov!” Joseph, with his back to Kira, straddled between him and the old man. “Didn’t you just ask me where I am now?”

"Hmm? You're finally going to tell me?"

"To tell you the truth, this time Phantom Lord received a commission to bring back one of your guild's mages!"

"Who... was it that you brought back?"

"Miss Lucy from the Heartfilia Foundation!!"
