Fairy Tail Space Mage

"I see……"

Happy nodded, flew over, and somewhat laboriously transported Erigor over. Then, Sora activated the "Teleport" spell. The next instant, they were already in Kuroba Town.

It seems to be just a coincidence that the three people and the cat appeared right between the "Lullaby" demon and Elsa and Gray.

"Sora! Happy! Natsu! And..." Lucy exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the three people and the cat suddenly appear.

"Ah! You...you demon! Why are you chasing me relentlessly! I've already given up...I just wanted to..."

The demon of Lullaby has been completely freed from the bone flute. It came here to quickly devour the souls of the high-quality, but weakened, guild leaders to increase its strength, and then escape this place swiftly.

Unexpectedly, it encountered obstacles from the armored woman and two ice-wielding individuals (Lucy was ignored). Just as it was preparing for a desperate battle, the terrifying source that terrified it had already unknowingly caught up with it!

The demon in the bone flute fears, of course, Natsu, who is fast asleep with his face pressed against the ground.

But no one present, including Habib, thought so.

Their gazes all fell upon the only one of the three standing properly, his back to the enormous demon, a man clad in a magnificent black robe. Even the guild leaders of several legitimate mage guilds couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves.

"Who is that person? How could they make that demon so afraid!"

“That’s Dark Star from Fairy Tail. He only became an S-class mage two years ago, but he defeated my family’s Pacas three years ago… His true strength is unfathomable!” Goldman, the guild master of “Four-Headed Hounds” who had crossed paths with Sora, answered with a calm expression but a somewhat serious tone.

"He's Makarov's secret weapon! Besides, he's also Miss Mira's boyfriend from the magic communication just now!" The blue Pegasus, whose president, Bob, who looks like a transvestite, seems to know something about Sora as well.

"What secret weapon? Don't talk nonsense!" Of course, his words were immediately denied by Makarov.

Sora can indeed be considered a secret weapon of Fairy Tail. Makarov has always been very proud of bringing Sora into the guild. However, Sora was not someone he specifically trained. Within the guild, Sora was the only one whom Makarov completely left to his own devices.

"Sora, what happened? What's wrong with Natsu?!"

Leaving aside the demon in "Lullaby," there were also the reactions of the various guild leaders. Seeing Natsu's appearance, Erza couldn't help but ask with concern.

“Natsu is fine… He was just possessed by the demon in the bone flute after defeating Erigor, and then he passed out. I think we can wake him up now… Happy, take Natsu to Lucy for me.” Sora said to Happy beside him.

"Love! Leave it to me!" Happy had been running errands all day, but he didn't seem to mind at all. It was a bit unusual for Happy to be so hardworking and selfless, even when he had free time.

"Huh? Why did you send him here? Happy lives with Natsu, wouldn't it be more appropriate to wake him up?!" Lucy saw Happy carrying Natsu and flew over, and hurriedly and somewhat clumsily took him.

She was planning to show off her skills and join Elsa and Gray in defeating the demon before her. Although she was a little scared... this demon was enormous, almost the size of a small mountain.

The three-story building where the guild leaders hold meetings only reaches his knees.

"As for you... I'm sorry, you know too much. To prevent you from revealing that matter, I can only..." Kong instantly appeared behind the demon's head. Since he was already facing away from the demon, he didn't even need to turn around.

Then, with a gentle touch to the back of the demon's head... a tremendous emptiness washed over him in the white light, and a large portion of the magic power within the empty body was consumed. The result, of course, was the disintegration of the enormous demon.

At the same time, without any effort, several "singularities" appeared and completely absorbed the decomposed demon. The bone flute it relied on was also shattered and sucked into it.

(The consequence of a poorly managed schedule is a domino effect of various mistakes. To ensure stable updates and uploads, I must be more strict with myself.)

Chapter 129 Ya'er's Choice

"Sorry, it was your first mission, and I stole your thunder at the end." Kong descended from the sky and landed in front of Elsa and the others.

"It's nothing... but Sora's strength is becoming more and more unpredictable." Erza stared intently at Sora, as if her fighting spirit had been ignited.

“Well… I have some things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” Kong avoided Elsa’s gaze, activated teleportation, and returned to a side palace of the Lantern Palace in Meluklias.

"Welcome back, elder brother (Wang) (Kong)!" Upon discovering Kong's return, the three women greeted him together.

Before Sora returned, the three girls seemed to be talking about something. The conversation appeared to be progressing, and their relationship seemed to have grown closer. However, Sora, preoccupied with other thoughts, didn't notice this.

"Yes. I'm back," Kong nodded in response.

The deal between the Kingdom of Fiore and the "Maple Leaf" Guild has already been agreed upon.

But then the king invited them to a banquet... After all, it was the king's hospitality, and he had already made all the arrangements. Out of respect for the king's etiquette, Kong couldn't refuse the invitation.

Therefore, he and Ya'er could only wait patiently for evening to arrive in the side palace of the Hua Deng Palace, where distinguished guests were entertained.

"What's wrong, elder brother?"

After going out for a while, Kong's expression became somewhat serious. This caught Ya'er's attention.

"Ya'er..." Kong was silent for a moment. Then...

"Do you want to become a Dragon Slayer Mage?" he suddenly asked Ya'er.

"What... what are you saying, elder brother!" Ya'er was very surprised.

Not only her, but the other two girls also cast surprised glances at her.

"I just obtained the Fire Dragon's Magic Crystal. Once it's implanted into you, you'll be able to use Fire Dragon Slayer Magic... To be honest, Dragon Slayer Magic is an extremely powerful spell, and even I find it hard to resist its allure. But unfortunately, all I got was the Fire Dragon's Magic Crystal. After using it, all I can use is Fire Dragon Slayer Magic... Aside from spatial attributes, I don't want to touch any other attributes for the time being."

Kong Xin was also very hesitant.

After all, just as he had previously understood, in this world, Dragon Slayer Magic was the highest level of magic. Dragon magic was the purest and most advanced form of magic!

Natsu hasn't yet acquired the power to match Dragon Slayer Magic simply because he's not mature enough.

Moreover, even if it only has the advantages of (1) eating substances of the corresponding attributes can restore magic power; (2) the dragon scale state can greatly improve defense and resistance... these two advantages are already attractive enough for Kong.

Sora had even imagined what she would look like after combining space magic and fire dragon slayer magic... At that time, if she stretched out her hand and flames appeared on her palm, no one would mistake her for being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)...

But in the end, after rational judgment and careful consideration, the conclusion reached was:

Given his limited talent, it was really not suitable for him to create trouble by learning a new attribute. Moreover, once he learned it, he would have to compete with the highest level of lost magic in the magical world—Dragon Slayer Magic.

Sora has already amassed a whole body of lost magic. Moreover, this magic is becoming increasingly unpredictable and difficult to control. Sora no longer dares to touch lost magic.

"The magic crystal of the fire dragon! That kind of thing isn't only found on dragon carcasses with a very small chance..."

Ya'er is in charge of the "Maple Leaf" branch and has long ago established her own information network centered around Hot Spring Town.

Therefore, in terms of knowledge, Ya'er was no less knowledgeable than Sora. She certainly knew the preciousness of the Dragon's Magic Crystal. Moreover, she also knew the mystery and power of Dragon Slayer Magic. So, when she heard Sora say that he had obtained the Fire Dragon's Magic Crystal, she was truly shocked.

"If you don't like that, I also have a magic crystal that can make you a demon slayer mage... There are no restrictions on that; any mage of any attribute can use it. However, demon slayer magic is a level below dragon slayer magic. Moreover, the side effects are much greater."

Sora doesn't really recommend that Aliya become a demon slayer mage. After all, she happens to have a dragon magic crystal of the same element as Aliya, so why bother taking a detour and learning demon slayer magic?

Sora already knew from ancient texts that most demon slayers did not have a good ending.

They either get killed by the demons during the process of eliminating them, or they are completely assimilated by the magic and become demons themselves.

Furthermore, the assimilation process using demon-slaying magic is extremely rapid. If one's will is not strong enough, or if one's negative emotions are too intense, the fastest example is becoming a demon within three days. Learning this kind of magic is simply too risky!

"Side effects?" Even with her exceptional knowledge, Ya'er still had limited understanding of the two top-tier lost spells.

"Yes. If you use Dragon Slayer Magic too much, you will eventually turn into a dragon. If you use Demon Slayer Magic too much, you will eventually turn into a demon. However, because implanting a Dragon Crystal is not a proper way to learn Dragon Slayer Magic, the process of dragonification is very slow..." Sora explained earnestly.

Ya'er is actually very well-suited to learning Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. This is not only because of her magical attribute, but also because she has learned very few types of magic. Furthermore, both Enchantment Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic belong to the category of "Enchanting Magic," sharing commonalities. Therefore, Ya'er should be able to master this magic very quickly.

"To become a dragon and a demon... Brother, I've decided, I'm going to become a demon slayer mage!"

After pondering for a while, Ya'er suddenly gave an answer that greatly surprised Kong and that he could not understand no matter what.

"Have you really thought this through, Ya'er? You heard what I just said, didn't you? Using demon-slaying magic carries the risk of turning you into a demon, and the risk is very high... Since there's a safer and more effective dragon-slaying magic, why not..."

Sora couldn't understand. He had even planned to use the demon's magic crystal himself and let Ya'er use the fire dragon's magic crystal. But Ya'er's decision completely disrupted everything.

“Dragon-slaying magic is indeed powerful, but Ya’er is used to fighting with a sword. Now, she can’t give it up… Besides, dragons are extremely rare in this world, while demons are rampant everywhere. I think learning demon-slaying magic is more practical… As for the risk of becoming a demon, I think Mira is just as afraid as I am. Since she’s not afraid, of course I’m not afraid either!”

Ya'er's attitude was firm, as if she had made up her mind.

She's actually right. Demon-slaying magic is quite practical. Moreover, it's easy to learn, more flexible in application, and works perfectly well with weapons.

And Ya'er was right about the other thing too.

Although Mira uses a receiving spell, she receives the soul of a demon. Having used this spell continuously, she now possesses demonic potential within her. In a sense, Mira has also been using demon-slaying magic, thus carrying the risk of demonization herself.

Of course, the main reason Al'er didn't choose "Dragon Slayer Magic" was that she knew Fairy Tail already had a male who used "Flame Dragon Slayer Magic." She didn't want others to think that she could be paired with that man.

This might seem like a trivial matter, but for Aya, who already had someone she loved, it was a big deal. However, Sora probably never imagined that Aya would give up the opportunity to become a Fire Dragon Slayer for such a reason.

Chapter 130: Creating a "Phoenix"

Ya'er was unaware that her girlish choices would save her from many disasters and crises!

In this era, Dragon Slayers are destined to suffer immense calamities.

Because they had to face a real dragon!

Moreover, it might be the strongest dragon ever!!

Compared to such risks, the risk of demonization is clearly negligible.

……

There's only one Demon Crystal, and since Aya wants to use it, Sora has no choice but to temporarily give up his chance to become a Demon Slayer. After all, it takes dozens of "Demon Stars" to condense into one crystal. It would be impossible for Sora to create another one in less than three to five years.

In fact, Kong Ming knew that Ya'er had always been very concerned about her own skill level.

She seemed to feel that most of the women around her were much more capable than her. This made her feel somewhat inferior and uneasy.

Therefore, after Sora obtained the two crystals, his first thought, besides himself, was to give them to Ya'er to use.

As for why Ya'er chose to use the magic crystal despite knowing about the side effects, this didn't surprise Kong.

After all, they are all mages.

After all, they all live in a world where strength reigns supreme.

After all, they all have people they need powerful forces to protect.

Sora felt that if the demon's magic crystal were given to Gray, he would probably use it without hesitation.

Throughout history, human beings have always resorted to any means to gain power.

The demon's magic crystal was surprisingly easy to use, requiring no surgery, magic, or rituals whatsoever. Al simply needed to place it in her palm and absorb its concentrated magic power through meditation.

But the result of such a simple process was beyond everyone's imagination!

The most obvious change is that Ya'er's flames have changed color, from fiery red to a ghostly blue.

Then, a pair of butterfly-wing-like tattoos appeared on Ya'er's back. They were the unique magical runes of a demon slayer mage.

Ya'er tried it and discovered that she could use the magic runes to make a pair of blue flame butterfly wings appear on her back. These flame butterfly wings were indeed made of magic that had been altered in nature, and she could touch them with her hands.

Ya'er tried to fan them, and then, to her surprise, they flew straight into the air!

It doesn't fly because it flaps its wings. The principle is more complex; it's just a visual effect.

"Master Ya'er...so beautiful!" Kagura was mesmerized as she watched Ya'er fluttering her beautiful wings and flying freely in the side palace.

"Indeed...it's very beautiful!"

Rarely, Sora also nodded in approval. Ya'er was already petite, with long, straight black hair, and her delicate features as an Eastern woman, which perfectly complemented her blue flame butterfly wings.
