A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Udarus attacked first with her hair, which Gray dodged, but Juvia did not dodge or evade. Her magic could be elementalized, making her immune to physical damage.

"Juvia's body is made of water, so your attacks are ineffective."

"Water? Your constitution is really interesting!"

In order to spend some time with Gredo, Juvia took direct action, trying to restrain and trap Udarus with water, but she did not expect that the opponent's magic could absorb liquid with his hair, and he absorbed all the water in the blink of an eye.

This spell is very advantageous against Juvia, but unfortunately the opponent is playing doubles.

"Ice-forged Lancers!"

Gray continued to unleash magical attacks, but since ice is solid, Urdalus couldn't absorb it and could only shatter it with his hair.

After several rounds, Gray realized that his opponent was only good at magic but not at physical combat, so he switched to mental combat, and Udarus was quickly defeated.

In a moment of desperation, he flicked his hair toward Juvia, instantly binding her.

"What?!"

Gray shouted anxiously, "Juvia!"

Just like in shogi, where you turn a captured piece into your own, Udarus successfully absorbed Juvia right in front of Gray, turning her into his subordinate.

Faced with Juvia, Gray couldn't bring himself to go all out and could only take the beating, which made Udarus so happy that he played his guitar.

But his joy didn't last long. In his hand was Juvia, who harbored feelings for Gray. The two were entangled in a heart-wrenching bond, activating a combination spell that turned water into blades and froze ice, sending Uldarus away in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Natsu's battles are always full of joy.

Owl's physical skills are the strongest among the three crows. In close combat, he can even fight Natsu to a standstill.

Once again dodging Natsu's furious attack, Owl pressed his hands to the ground and launched rockets from his back. Natsu dodged to the side, but the two rocket launchers were indeed under Owl's control and had special mechanisms on them.

With a flick of his wrist, the rocket launcher immediately changed direction and flew back. One side opened, revealing an iron claw that hooked onto Natsu's clothes and propelled him into the air.

"Oh no! It's a vehicle!"

Xiao confidently crossed his arms and said, "I know your weakness."

Seeing this, Lucy acted decisively: "Libra!"

The Protoss used gravity magic to slam the rocket launchers that were flying wildly through the air directly into the ground.

"It's...it's finally stopped..."

"You wretched woman!"

Due to gravity, Owl could no longer control the rocket launcher, so he attacked Lucy directly, but Happy took Lucy with him and flew away, causing him to miss.

At this moment, Natsu, now back to normal, launched another attack: "Fire Dragon's Blaze!"

Flames roared, accompanied by a punch delivered with all his might; Natsu's all-out attack ended the battle instantly.

Once they get serious, these guys are a piece of cake to beat.

Chapter 124 One-Sword Style VS Moonless Style

"call……"

Natsu and Gray, having finished their battle, both showed signs of fatigue. Since being attacked at the Summer Inn, they had been chasing after them without stopping for hours without a drop of water, and after a long battle, their strength was almost exhausted.

Gray, needless to say, was unilaterally beaten by Juvia in the previous battle; Natsu fared even worse, enduring the torment of being transported twice. Both of them were nearing their mental and physical limits, and they were only holding on for Erza and Happy's sake.

"Damn it, I'm out of energy..."

"Lord Grey!" Juvia immediately caught the fallen Grey, her heart pounding with excitement. Her face lit up with a dazed expression, her eyes turning into hearts. 'Ah, Lord Grey is in my arms!!!'

Natsu insisted on going to help, but he was unsteady on his feet and collapsed onto Lucy in a flash.

"Natsu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm going to help Erza!"

Happy stopped him, saying, "Natsu, you should rest for a bit!"

“That’s right, Natsu,” Lucy said, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at Natsu. “We still have Kira, Erza, and Dispel on our side. We’ll definitely win!”

……

Meanwhile, as Dispel was strolling around inside the tower, a pretty figure suddenly blocked his way.

Click... click...

The newcomer had long, cherry-colored hair, tied into two ponytails on top of her head, reaching her waist in the back and with two strands in front. Her appearance was unremarkable, but the two red moles under her eyes and the red lipstick on her lips made her stand out.

A strange black collar encircled her neck, below which was a white, high-waisted kimono that looked wide, soft, and supple. On her feet were a pair of tall, thick, and heavy round, deep red flip-flops that made a loud sound as she walked gracefully.

A long red sword was held horizontally in front of his chest, and his swordsmanship seemed quite extraordinary. He was none other than the Dove of the Three Crows, the successor of the Mugetsu-ryu swordsmanship.

"I am a humble woman named Spotted Dove, please guide me!"

"Oh, a swordsman? That's quite rare."

Kira's eyes lit up the moment he saw Izayoi. In all his years in Aslant, he had seen many excellent swordsmen, but most of them used magic in conjunction with swordsmanship. He had almost never seen anyone like him who only used swordsmanship to fight.

This is not surprising, though. He has no magic power in his body, so he cannot use magic, while Aslant has abundant magic power, and no strong person is unable to use magic.

"I was only here to stop the intruders on Lord Jellal's orders, but I never expected to meet you here! Kira Dispel!"

"Hmm? From what you're saying, do you know me?"

Dispel was a little confused by what the dove said. Could this be one of his little fangirls?

When I was traveling on Aslant before, everyone I met thought I was Kira. I never thought I would meet a fan of mine. Hehehe, I'm a little excited just thinking about it!

But soon, Turtledove's words shattered Dispel's illusion.

"Eight years ago, my master was defeated by you in one move. He never recovered and eventually died in despair."

Dispel said awkwardly, "It's a bit apologetic of me to say this, but I have absolutely no recollection of your master..."

With his eyes lowered, the dove recounted the past: "To avenge myself on you and to restore the reputation of the Moonless School, I have been searching for your whereabouts, but I have not been able to find any news about you over the years."

"It's because I went to another continent," Dispel thought to himself. "So this guy wasn't a fan of mine after all!"

"The only clue was your appearance, but unfortunately, I ended up finding Kira Hopelight from Fairy Tail. After investigation, I found that although he was exceptionally talented in magic, he was mediocre in swordsmanship. Clearly, you are not the same person."

"So, you're one of the seven people Gerald was talking about?"

“That’s right, you must defeat me to reach the top of the tower!” Ikaruga placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. “Let me see what kind of swordsmanship the person who defeated my master in one move at the age of 12 possesses!”

Hearing this answer, Dispel's eyes gradually became serious: "Although you are a girl, when it comes to swordsmanship and games, I won't hold back!"

"I can't ask for it!"

The words had barely left his lips when the room fell silent.

The dove held the scabbard in his left hand and lightly pressed the hilt of the sword with his right; Dispel also reached for one of the swords at his waist.

The sound of metal scraping against metal rang out from the two men, the sound of swords being drawn. But strangely, neither of them moved, and the swords in their hands remained silently sheathed, not drawn even an inch.

The next second, thin sword marks appeared simultaneously on the walls, floor, and ceiling all around him.

Dispel praised, "Not bad swordsmanship."

"Truly impressive. With just a casually released sword aura, you can so easily deflect my slash."

No sooner had the dove finished speaking than several tiny wounds appeared on his body, each one in a vital spot, but none of them were deep, clearly indicating that Dispel had shown mercy.

"Let's end this probing here!"

The first attack was a probe, while the second attack was a real confrontation with weapons.

The characteristics of the Mugetsu style are its extremely fast sword speed and exceptional control. It can not only strike the enemy without the opponent's naked eye noticing, but also sever the opponent's nerves without damaging the flesh.

But Dispel's swordsmanship was clearly superior. He had a high talent for swordsmanship and developed his own style. He could see through any sword move at a glance and had competed against all kinds of schools. For the same reason, he did not have the disadvantage of being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

The end result is that they are good at everything and excellent at everything.

Whether in terms of speed, power, precision, control, or coordination, he is far superior to the spotted dove.

The dove drew its sword and attacked first, moving forward several meters in a single stride. It was hard to believe that someone wearing such heavy shoes could have such light steps and such superb agility.

"Moonless Flow, Multiple Sword Flashes"

Her sword swings were so fast they were invisible to the naked eye. In the original story, during her battle with Erza, Erza couldn't even catch the trajectory of her sword swings and could only have her armor shattered time and time again.

But things weren't so easy when facing Dispel. He remained motionless, quietly waiting for the dove's sword strike.

The sword flashed and tore through space. Dispel's eyes flashed, and his sky-blue eyes caught a bright white light.

The Moonless Style is fast, but even faster is the Sword Drawing Technique!

"One-Sword Style, Limitless!"

Ding--!

The ear-piercing, sharp sound of metal clashing echoed in the narrow corridor. The sword energy attached to the two men's swords sliced ​​the walls on both sides in half through their strikes.

"They actually blocked it?!"

The dove cried out in disbelief; it was the first time she had ever seen anyone successfully block her sword technique.

Dispel chuckled, feeling somewhat pleased with the sword duel: "Not bad speed, let's go again!"

"The moonless stream flows, the Yaksha flashes in the sky."

The turtledove spun in mid-air, using the twisting force to propel its longsword, creating a crescent-shaped slash in the air.

With the crescent moon high in the sky, Dispel saw it clearly, flicked his wrist, and swung his longsword down, unleashing a crescent-shaped slash in return: "One-Sword Style, Moon Slash!"

clang--!

The crescent moon crisscrossed the sky, one of which was cut short by the opponent's blade, and the moonlight came to an abrupt end.

"Your strength is acceptable, try again!"

Seeing that its attack had failed again, Ikaruga had no choice but to use its strongest move.

"The Moonless Flow, the Garuda Flame."

The longsword slashed out again, accompanied by a large amount of flames, with extremely high temperature and super cutting power.

"One-Sword Style, Fire Forging!"
