A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"I see!"

Kira turned to leave, but stopped halfway there. After thinking for a moment, he turned back and bound the unconscious Aria with the Demon-Sealing Chains.

Before leaving, he couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark: "I heard you wear an eyepatch to suppress your magic power? You don't even have that much magic power to suppress? Do you think you're Kenpachi Zaraki from next door?"

Watching Kira's departing figure, Makarov's originally short stature gradually grew to gigantic size: "Come on! Joseph! Let me see just how much combat power a mind-body can unleash!"

……

The battle between the fairies and the ghosts continued. The tavern, which had been built overnight, was already in ruins, with only a pile of wooden planks remaining as proof that it had once been a tavern.

Shouts echoed throughout the arena, and amidst the chaos, two battles of significantly higher caliber were taking place simultaneously.

Natsu faces Gajeel, the two dragons representing fire and iron wreaking havoc; on the other side, Gray faces Usagimaru, the fire mage of the four elements of Phantom Flame.

"Ice-forged, Lancer!"

"Crimson Flame!"

The clash of fire and ice is a familiar melody in Fairy Tail's daily battles, but today it has appeared on Phantom's territory.

Rabbit Maru's magic is fire control; he possesses seven colors of flame, with the Crimson Flame being the hottest. But Gray is unfazed: "I've probably experienced more battles against fire mages than anyone else in the entire guild."

"Orange Flame!"

The foul-smelling orange flames attacked indiscriminately, affecting the battle of everyone around.

"vomit……"

What does it taste like?

"It's Usagi-maru's Orange Flame! How disgusting!!"

"How can such magic exist?!"

However, Usagi-maru, who instigated this turmoil, was not affected at all because he could control the flames to prevent the smell from reaching him.

Seeing this, Natsu broke out in a cold sweat: "If you ate this kind of fire, you'd definitely throw up..."

"Where are you looking?!"

A blow from behind with an iron rod sent Natsu flying, crashing into a group of people.

"Hey! Gajeel! Don't hit us!!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Get the hell out of here if you don't want to die! This is dragon fighting territory!"

Just as Gajeel's attention was drawn to his companion, Natsu quickly stood up and retaliated with a hook claw attack against Gajeel's sneak attack.

"You just... sounded like you were saying something really impressive."

"Damn it...you bastard!"

"Iron Dragon Staff!"

"Fire Dragon's Claw!"

"Iron Dragon Sword!"

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

"Iron Dragon Whip!"

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"

The two fought back and forth, from east to west, from top to bottom, with tremendous destructive power.

Fighting in a guild, especially in a guild full of junk, without having to worry about being scolded by Maklov, is a rare opportunity indeed.

Although they are currently seeking revenge, every member of Fairy Tail cherishes this opportunity to fight to their heart's content, vent their frustrations, and wreak havoc at will, especially Natsu.

They punch wherever their fists touch, and burn wherever their flames meet, without caring whether it's a plank or a stone pillar, a drink or a table and chairs.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn!

"The fire dragon's..."

"Iron Dragon's..."

"roar!!!"

"roar!!!"

Imitating the magic of dragon's breath, the dragon hunter gathered all his power into a roar, and the colliding flames and steel turned into molten iron in the air, which was poured onto the newly rebuilt wooden floor.

"Both of them are incredibly strong..."

"Wow! That fire dragon is actually fighting Gajeel to a standstill..."

"Huh...huh..."

"Ha ha……"

The long battle left Natsu and Gajeel somewhat exhausted, and they both searched for things that could restore their strength.

The two exchanged a glance out of the corner of their eyes and sprinted forward simultaneously.

Gajeel rushed to the place where the steel was stored and began to feast on his own table; while Natsu rushed to the battlefield between Gray and Usagi.

"Grey! Get out of the way!! Let me eat his fire!"

"Natsu?" Gray, who was exchanging fire and ice with Ubume, was startled by Natsu's sudden appearance. "Hey! What are you doing? This is my battle!"

"Anything is fine with me, I'm hungry!"

Natsu grabbed Gray and opened his mouth wide to face the flames that were originally heading towards him.

Blue Flame is a type of freezing fire created by Usagi-maru. Its temperature is extremely low. In order to avoid being frozen by Gray, Usagi-maru used this special flame to fight, but unexpectedly encountered someone who could eat fire.

"So cold!" Natsu hadn't expected there to be such a thing as fire. After finishing the meal, he clutched his stomach, his teeth chattering.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Gray got up and kicked Natsu aside, cursing. "If you're full, get out of here! Don't get in the way!"

Seeing Natsu eat fire, Rabbit Maru exclaimed how amusing it was. Although he knew that Dragon Slayers could eat certain things, the fact that Natsu ate fire was something that could only be truly shocking to witness firsthand: "A Fire Dragon Slayer? He can actually eat fire... Let's try this!"

Then he waved his hand, and two more flames of different colors flew out.

Purple Flame is a viscous flame; Green Flame is a poisonous flame.

Seeing more food, Natsu suddenly flipped himself up and devoured it all in one gulp!

Gray was shocked that Natsu would dare to eat fire that looked ominous just by its color: "Natsu! What are you doing?!"

"What's wrong?" Natsu mumbled, his mouth full of fire.

"Knowing that you can regain your strength by eating fire, why would the enemy be so kind as to give you fire!"

"But..." Natsu, who was about to argue, suddenly felt his stomach hurt even more. "What's wrong? I feel like I need to poop..."

"You idiot!! How could you let us down at a time like this!"

Just then, Gajeel, having finished his meal, arrived: "Iron Dragon Staff!!"

The iron rod was long, thick, and powerful, and it sent Natsu flying.

"Ugh!"

"Natsu!!" Gray shouted anxiously, about to chase after them to see what was happening, but unexpectedly, several more balls of fire attacked from behind.

"Take care of yourself first, Huang Zhiyan!"

"Oops!"

The yellow flames, emitting a strange odor, didn't ignite when they got close; instead, they exploded right in front of Gray!

"Ice Forge, Shield!"

They managed to stop the explosion in time, but missed the chance to rescue Natsu.

He wanted to chase after him, but the Rabbit Maru in front of him was no pushover either. His whole body was covered in blue flames as he stood in front of Gray. This was his last color of flame, the Blue Flame, which could enhance his strength and magic.

In terms of close combat ability, Usagi-maru is no match for Gray, but as an S-class mage of Phantom Assassin, he must have his own unique strengths.

The reason he seemed so weak in the original work was because he and Natsu were mutually restraining. He had already exhausted a lot of energy in the battle and was then ambushed. Since he was not good at physical skills, he naturally lost.

In fact, Usagi's magic is not bad, and he can control fire. Judging from the setting alone, his potential is very high. Unfortunately, Fairy Tail is a world where only melee mages can dominate. Traditional mages like him have no chance to survive.

Chapter 104

"Ice-forged weapons! Battle axes! Hammers! Crossbows! Swords!"

Different weapons were created one after another in Gray's hands, but they were either shattered by his fists wreathed in blue flames or melted by the extremely hot red flames.

Unlike Natsu's burning magic, Usagi's magic is about controlling flames, which naturally allows him to control the temperature of the fire. This ability, which is just as baffling as Natsu's ability to change the viscosity of fire, is the main reason why he became an S-class mage.

Left with no other choice, Gray could only add a layer of ice armor to his body to fight. Although it hindered his movement somewhat, the weight did not put much of a burden on him.

Let's see who falls first!

Unable to compete with the temperature, Gray had no choice but to resort to his most effective fighting style: hand-to-hand combat.

The Fire Fist collided with the Ice Armor, creating tiny ice shards.

"What a hassle!"

The flames of different colors each have their own function, and they are handled by Rabbit Maru with ease. The transitions and changes between them are seamless. No wonder he later became a teacher. His control is better than many people.

"Seven-Colored Fire Fist!!"

Feeling his strength waning, Usagi-maru had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move, while Gray, undeterred, clasped his hands together and delivered a decisive blow.

"Ice-made, Ice-laden Spring!"

Ice and fire clashed again, neither gaining the upper hand.

Realizing that close combat was his opponent's weakness, Gray seized the opportunity to strike again, creating two ice blades at his elbows.

"Ice Forging, Seven-Strike Ice Blade Dance!"

"Nani... Ah!!"

Swish, swish, swish, seven moves in one strike, seven consecutive hits!

Rabbit Maru was caught off guard and was defeated!
