Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

Mistgang's expression was serious:

"It seems they've successfully modified Anima's spell. Things are getting a bit complicated. I can sabotage it this time, but next time..."

"Don't panic, I've been preparing gifts for them for almost half a year, and besides, there's a flying insect package..."

Aibo strolled leisurely to the intersection of the subspace and sensed the space around him, almost bursting into laughter.

It turns out that the other side moved the entire Anima magic circle out of the palace and to another unmarked location in Ebo to activate it.

Haha, trying to be clever. They don't think I'll be able to find their palace this way, do they?

Spatial magic, how could it be such an inconvenient thing?

Leave you!

Let's keep eating stones!

A greater amount of filth invaded Edolas than the previous two invasions combined, making an outstanding contribution to the friendly exchanges between the people of the two worlds.

Aibo wasn't sure if the other side was desperate, but he certainly had a great time moving stones.

After moving the stone and the insect, Abbot did not stop immediately. Instead, before Mystogan destroyed the Anima, he put a small magical device into the warp.

"Abbot, what did you just do?"

“I installed a spatial locator that can relay communication signals across space. Because your world hasn’t activated Anima for too long, Mira was a little worried because she hadn’t received any messages from Lisanna. So I made this. From now on, I should be able to receive Edolas’ signals at any time, and it will be much easier for me to teleport there.”

"Is that so? As expected of Abbott, your magical artifact manufacturing skills are almost catching up with mine..."

Mr. Gang was quite moved. He used to think he was very talented, but after meeting Abbott, he realized what a true genius was.

"Abbot, I have a plan. I want to... wipe out Edolas's magic... Don't you think my plan is crazy?"

"Crazy? It's alright, a so-so choice. Once the world loses its magic, it can no longer use magic. Other worlds with magic will probably lose interest in your world, but you'll have to find a way to create another path without magic."

"Oh? Abbott, do you think a world can function normally without magic?"

"Why not? You live perfectly well without magic in your body. Magic isn't a necessity for life. Besides, if you ask me, your world is in the end times of magic. Stealing magic from other worlds isn't a long-term solution. It can't change the fact that your world's magic is being lost. Just eliminating the magic might be better for ordinary people."

Abbot shrugs:

"However, I would still prefer to stay in a world with magic. After all, magic is amazing, and I like it. I'm not qualified to comment on your plan, so I neither support nor oppose it. You can decide for yourself."

"If Edolas loses its magic, will you still be able to go to our world, Abbot?"

"Yes, I can come back as long as I don't run out of magic in your world. But it is indeed quite dangerous. I think if your world really runs out of magic, the people in the magical world probably won't want to go there anymore."

"...Thank you, I think I know what to do."

"Oh? What have you decided to do?"

"I want to break the Anima spell, reverse Anima, drain all of Edolas' magic, and turn our world into a magic-free world."

Mystergan looked at Abbot and said seriously:

"For this, I might need the help of my guildmates, Abbot. Can you help me?"

"Ah, I don't think there's a problem, but what do you plan to do?"

"The situation in my country is complicated. The king does not represent supreme power; our people worship those who are born with magical powers..."

"Ah, speaking of which, I don't quite understand. Why would you listen to a bunch of Palicoes? Although cats can use wing magic, their magic power is too weak. They are no match for humans at all."

"Because the Queen of the Superiors possesses a mysterious power, she can precisely cause someone to die at a specified time, and people believe that she has the power to decide the life and death of mankind."

"It doesn't sound like murder, but more like some kind of prophetic magic."

"Similar speculations exist, but no one dares to gamble on that possibility, so the transcendent holds a revered position in my country."

I believe the Beyonders are a kind race. I was saved by one when I was a child. After the world lost its magic, the Beyonders might be able to use their unique charm to lead their people out of the abyss and towards a new future. That's why I want to put on a show..."

"Wait a minute, cats have magic inside them. After you reversed the Anima, are you sure they won't be transferred to Esland by the magic circle?"

"Huh? This..."

Mistgang froze, scratching his head, realizing it was true! He hadn't even considered this; had the plan failed before it even began? This was too...

"Don't rush, we still have time. I think we can discuss this with the president, and I feel that the magic you don't want... shouldn't just be wasted like this..."

? Chapter 113 Light Magic LV4

The matter of Mystogan can't be rushed. He hasn't even figured out the spell to reverse Anima yet, so it's not the right time for him to make a cameo appearance in a stage play.

However, ever since Aibo was equipped with the [Time-Space Signal Adapter], Lisanna from another world has been secretly "calling" him every few days.

When Aibo answered the call for the first time, she nagged him for three minutes, mostly with complaints like "Why did you frame her, you heartless person?", "Do you know how hard she's been this past year?", and "You've been scolded by my sister so many times, and it's all your fault."

Then Aibo didn't want to listen anymore and hung up. That brat can't even tell the difference between the king and queen, and she dares to give me attitude. Be careful, or I'll leave you in Edolas and never let you come back.

Lisanna was both anxious and angry, so she kept making a barrage of calls. After realizing that Abbot was really ignoring her, she started sending messages non-stop.

A glance at Lisanna revealed her attitude shifted dramatically: from anger to arrogance to compromise to weakness to pitiful apology. This awkward display of alternating arrogance and obsequiousness amused Abbot.

From the limited amount of useful information, Abbot saw a great deal of "homesickness." This brat probably wanted to come back but was too embarrassed to say it, so she was just rambling on about nonsensical things.

Hey, if you won't tell me, I won't tell you either. We're just having fun.

Abbott, acting like a slowpoke, mumbled a few perfunctory replies and then left Lisanna hanging under the pretext of going to do an experiment.

Anyway, now that Abbot has set up a signal station, everyone can send messages to Lisanna, and Lisanna doesn't lack people to chat with.

On the contrary, Abbott's experiment is really about to make a breakthrough.

With Abbot's diligent practice, his Light Magic progress has reached [Light Magic LV3: 94.7%]. He's just a little bit short of experience points, and Abbot is too lazy to use Inspiration Points anymore. It won't take long anyway.

So, a month later.

"Hahaha! I did it! I did it!"

A streak of light flashed across the sky above Magnolia, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

That was Abbot flying at high speed in the sky.

Not long ago, Abbott's Light Magic broke through to LV4, and the level 4 Light Magic brought Abbott a huge boost.

Firstly, Abbot can now integrate the extreme speed attribute of "light" into his body at any time. His flight magic circle has officially abandoned wind magic and switched to light magic, forming a completely new flight magic.

The characteristic of this magic is its extremely high speed, roughly Mach 10, which is ten times the speed of sound, but this is not its limit.

During this flight, Abbot will transform into a beam of light, achieving "semi-elementalization" and virtually eliminating all resistance.

In Aibo's understanding of extreme speed magic, the only magic that can rival his speed is the Star Magic [Meteor], which can reach a maximum speed of Mach 30.

However, Abbot also possesses this magic. With a little stacking, he can cause immense damage to the environment simply by using his speed. He has now surpassed the capabilities of a normal human.

On the contrary, his physical condition is still a hindrance. His energy and strength are not yet 10,000. If he flies too fast, his nerves will not be able to react. So Mach 10 is about the limit of Abbot's current ability.

But this ability alone wasn't what excited Abbot so much; what truly excited him was this—

"Heat rays!"

Abbot flew through the air, constructing a miniature magic circle in front of his eyes. Two bright red beams shot out from his eyes, and the magic power transformed into terrifying energy, destroying everything in front of him.

Abbott simply turned his head and sliced ​​off an entire small mountain peak—laser eyes! Terrifying!

"I've finally mastered it! From this day forward! I am Superman!!! Hahaha! Who else can compare!"

With his hands on his hips, Aibo felt an unprecedented surge of pride rising within him. This feeling was fantastic!

After his light magic reached level four, with the help of information magic, Abbot was finally able to adjust the wavelength and frequency of light through a magic circle, and successfully developed this "original" magic, [Light Laser Eye].

Although it's just a high-quality imitation now, casting spells by forming a magic circle in front of the eyes, Abbot believes that as long as he goes back and studies the magic of eye-shaping, he can carve the magic circle into his eyes and truly achieve "eye-catching charm".

Although this spell consumes a lot of resources, has a very complex spell model, a long casting animation, deals extremely high damage, and is difficult to control, but—!

So cool!

As long as he's handsome, that's enough!

Aibo is already considering whether to get a combat suit, the key point is that it must have a cape!

He can now fly, shoot heat rays from his eyes, grow stronger by consuming light, and possesses super hearing and super speed. With some further research, even X-ray vision wouldn't be a problem. Who can say he isn't Superman?! Hmm?

Abbott felt that he was only one step away from becoming a true superman, which was to hone his physique to an inhuman level and master true super strength and super endurance!

Haha, a magical version of Superman, who will be my match then!?

The president? Hmph, just a mere member of the Ten Saints, nothing to fear!

Abbot's magic power is now over 70,000, and he can vaguely sense the next watershed in strength - 100,000 magic power.

This should be the dividing line between ordinary S-class mages and the Ten Saints-level mages. Each Ten Saint has super strong magic power of over 100,000.

Aibo felt that the president's ranking in the Ten Saints should be quite high, otherwise Aibo would still be unable to sense how much magic power the president possessed.

Sigh, he's gotten too arrogant. I'll just have to put up with him for a bit longer and go back to Shili Slope to train for a few more years. By the time I'm truly an adult, I should be invincible!

Since I can't be Superman yet, I'll just play Homelander for now.

Once he calmed down, Abbo slowly flew back to Magnolia.

Abbot used to prefer teleportation because he couldn't fly fast enough; now he enjoys the feeling of sprinting through the air, which makes him feel good.

Abbot returned to his castle, landing gracefully. He turned his head and saw Kana sitting on the rooftop waiting for him. She didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Sister Kana? Is something the matter?"

"Abbot, it's almost the end of the year again..."

"Um, so what?"

"Do you think I can... defeat Mystogan in this S-rank promotion test?"

"It's this again..."

Abbo stroked his chin and raised his hand:

"How about I beat up Old Mi before you guys do the test?"

"Stop messing around! I'm serious!"

"Hey, Kana, you need to have confidence in yourself. You're no weaker than anyone else now, are you?"

Mystergan is only arrogant because he has a hypnotic magic circle. Didn't I make you a magical device that can temporarily seal your soul and protect you from mental magic?

Believe in yourself, you can do it!

"Alright! Since you've said so, Aibo, this time, I'm determined to get S-rank!"

"Sister, come on!"

Chapter 114 The Shameful Kana

"Waaaaah! Abbot! Mister cheated! He researched a weird anti-space magic circle and sent all my summoned creatures back! Otherwise, I would have been the winner!"

"..."

Abo felt like he'd heard those words somewhere before, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to comfort Kana.

No, actually he had no desire to comfort Kana right now; he was trying hard to suppress his bloodlust.

As an S-rank, Ebo naturally participated in this year's S-rank promotion test. However, due to the chairman's deliberate arrangement, Ebo did not have the opportunity to help Cana. He had just finished teaching Natsu a lesson when he saw Cana lose to Mystogan in the duel.

Having failed to reach the S-level for four consecutive years, not only Kana but also Aibo felt ashamed. Before the test was even over, he dragged Kana away. Sigh! What a disgrace!

Logically speaking, Cana's magic power has already exceeded 20,000, and she should have been qualified to be promoted to S-class long ago. Erza, who was only 15 years old at the time, had only a little over 10,000 magic power and she was promoted smoothly. Cana, what's going on with you? You can lose even when a dragon is charging at you?

Abbot was genuinely furious at his son's lack of ambition, and his anger was steadily building.

It's also possible that Kana's tearful appearance made people want to bully her, so Abbot inadvertently blurted out his true feelings:

"Sister Kana, you... really are just a nobody."

"Ugh—Eh? Eh!?"

"Kana, you clearly had the complete set of magical tools I prepared for you, right? Your magical power is among the top in the guild, isn't it? Even if your summoning cards were sealed, didn't you have any other cards you could use? Why did you lose to Mystogan, who had no magical power at all? Kana, were you really taking this seriously? You didn't prepare properly beforehand, and then you acted all pitiful after failing. What kind of person are you? My dear Kana, the one who should really explain this to me is that little fish sister, right? Hmm?"

"Alas--!!!?"

Kana was so frightened by Abbo, who was emanating an eerie black aura, that she curled up into a ball. She had never seen Abbo so terrifying!

"Ai...Aibo? Are you angry?"
