Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Brandish had initially stated that as one of the Twelve Shields of the Western Continent, she couldn't help Li Xiaoxi attack other continents. However, after becoming attached to Li Xiaoxi from the start, she completely forgot about that. Before Li Xiaoxi could even make a move, the mages who were bothering the three of them were reduced to puppets.

Because of Li Xiaoxi's rapidly increasing strength, and because she has encountered virtually no adversaries since arriving in the Western Continent, except for Brandish, she has not summoned the Star Spirit King.

And so, Li Xiaoxi, Brandish, and Yukino, in their daily lives, finally encountered one of the nine members of the Nine Ghost Gate, the heavily armored Franmars.

From the limited information Brandish gave Li Xiaoxi about the Nine Ghost Gates, the heavily armored Franmars before her seemed to be a mage from the Gates of Hell, apparently a scientist who valued money highly. He possessed extendable arms, the ability to absorb the souls of others and acquire their abilities and appearance, and could even absorb and utilize magic.

Unfortunately, no matter the world, nothing can harm Li Xiaoxi's soul. The heavily armored Franmars, who possesses the ability to absorb the souls of others and acquire their abilities and appearance, is essentially reduced to a hundred percent of his fighting power in front of Li Xiaoxi. However, this heavily armored Franmars can even absorb and utilize magic, which annoys Li Xiaoxi a little, but only a little. Since you can absorb magic, then I won't use magic; I'll just fight with close combat.

In any case, Xiao Xi's deck contained quite a few cards that could provide Li Xiaoxi with close-combat options. Li Xiaoxi ultimately chose the Power card, the Sword card, and the Fighting card, using close-combat to directly KO the heavily armored Franmars. Thus, the Nine Ghosts Sect lost one member named the heavily armored Franmars.

After Li Xiaoxi defeated the heavily armored Franmars, Brandish discovered Li Xiaoxi's Little Xi Cards. After learning that the Little Xi Cards had various abilities, she strongly requested a few Little Xi Cards to play with.

Li Xiaoxi initially refused, but she couldn't just give in to Brandish's every request... It seems she's gone off-topic.

When Brandish saw that Li Xiaoxi wouldn't give it to her, he used the "Big Chest Hug" move on her. Li Xiaoxi was caught off guard and Brandish successfully trapped her with two very soft breasts.

Yukino took a look and was shocked! After glancing at her own chest, she stared intently at Li Xiaoxi with resentment.

Finally, Li Xiaoxi was defeated by Brandish's "Big Chest Hug and Li Xiaoxi Kill" attack. Brandish gave several Xiaoxi cards to Brandish and instructed them to cooperate beforehand. Although the Xiaoxi cards were unwilling, they agreed at their master's request.

Li Xiaoxi had developed some defense against this move thanks to the enthusiasm of the ship girls, but she never expected that she would be defeated by it in this world. What a failure!

In a rather dimly lit room, eight demons of various shapes and sizes were actually discussing something.

"Pluto, Franmars was killed by that brat from the Eastern Continent. Judging from his intentions, it seems our next target is us," said Xing Litian Kuanghua, the leader of the Nine Ghosts Sect.

"He actually got defeated by that little hope from the Eastern Continent. It seems Franmars is trash too, unable to even beat someone from the Eastern Continent."

"However, I recently heard that the kid from the Eastern Continent fought Brandish of the Twelve Aegis and forced Brandish to admit defeat. It seems that kid is quite strong."

"That's probably because Brandish is lazy. You all know her, she's notoriously lazy. Maybe she just doesn't want to fight that kid!"

...

"Enough! Regardless of whether that Li Xiaoxi is strong or weak, the fact remains that he killed Franmars. And that kid's target was us. I don't want to hear any more news of any of you being killed by him. Before Lord Zeref summons us, I don't want our Hades Gate to vanish!" Hades Mardo Gil roared, and the demons stopped arguing. After Hades Mardo Gil finished speaking, he vanished.

"Yes, Hades!" the demons replied in unison, standing up in unison.

However, the next day, at the same location but at a different time, another meeting was being held. This time, the atmosphere was even colder, and besides being in the same location, there were two fewer attendees than the previous day's meeting. These two were Child-Cheer Ethel and the immortal Tempest.

Child Che Ethel and the immortal Storm, these two are the ones who said Franmars was trash and Brandish wasn't serious at yesterday's meeting.

After the meeting, the two of them forgot Hades's orders and foolishly went looking for Li Xiaoxi.

Li Xiaoxi looked at the approaching Child Che Ethel and the immortal Storm, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. Well, she'd seen people run incredibly fast when trying to escape, but she'd never seen anyone run so fast when it came to their own death.

When dealing with Ethel Doji, it was simple: Ethel Doji used a "spell" that could cut through anything. As long as Li Xiaoxi didn't use any tangible attacks, it would be fine. Under Brandish's cover, she used Fairy Law, and then used Dispel Magic to directly eliminate Ethel Doji's existence.

Dealing with the immortal Storm was a bit troublesome, but Li Xiaoxi had many tricks up her sleeve. Before she could even unleash a fifth of her abilities, Storm, who was immortal, was truly beyond dead.

Chapter 298 The Vanished Demons (Part Two)

In that dimly lit room, Hades stared expressionlessly at the five demons present, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

Now the Nine Ghosts Gate can only be called the Six Ghosts Gate. The other three demons have been eliminated by Li Xiaoxi, and some of them have even disappeared.

"Now, the entire Hades Gate is issuing a warrant for the arrest of Li Xiaoxi from Fairy Tail in the Eastern Continent. We'll teach him the consequences of messing with us!" Hades was finally enraged after losing three demons.

"Yes!" No one objected, nor dared to object.

But while these demons were searching for Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaoxi was also searching for them. As for the guilds affiliated with the Gates of Hell, as soon as Li Xiaoxi discovered them, before she even had a chance to make a move, they were all turned into puppets.

After doing all this, Brandish gave Yukino a smug look, implying that Yukino had been a greater help to Li Xiaoxi than she had been.

In this regard, Yukino could only work even harder to hone her magic.

In the following days, Li Xiaoxi eliminated several more generals of the Nine Ghosts Gate: Liangyuetian Sera, Qihei Monk Keith, Bomb Boy Jackal, Huiming Trafza, and Xinglitian Kuanghua. Only Hades, the guild master of the Underworld Gate, and Yin, the Ice Demon Slayer of the Underworld Gate, remained.

When Li Xiaoxi destroyed Liang Yuetian Sera, she felt that Sera's soul could be accepted by Mirajane's magic. Therefore, she erased the meaning of Sera's soul and threw it into the space of the magic book. Li Xiaoxi planned to give Mirajane the ability of Liang Yuetian Sera to issue absolute commands and remotely control others as a gift.

Li Xiaoxi has been in this western continent for almost three years now. She wonders how everyone in Fairy Tail is doing. Are they still as energetic as ever? Are Natsu and Gray still fighting at the drop of a hat? Has Erza changed into new armor...? Finally, she thinks of Mirajane. She wonders what's happened to Mirajane.

As Li Xiaoxi erased Liang Yuetian Sera's consciousness, Brandish noticed that Li Xiaoxi's expression seemed a little off. She didn't know why, but she simply disliked Li Xiaoxi's current expression, which looked like she was longing for her lover.

"Let's go! What are you still thinking about? Now the Nine Ghosts Sect only has the guild leader and one demon left. Aren't you going to completely eliminate them?" Brandish said to Li Xiaoxi with a jealous tone.

"It's about Lady Nozomi, what if the remaining two demons escape!" On this point, Yukino was still on the same side as Brandish. Mirajane was now far ahead of her, and if she didn't find an ally, Yukino didn't know if she would still have a chance of winning. Brandish was her best ally right now.

"I never imagined that a fairy from the Eastern Continent could have brought our Gates of the Underworld to this state! In this respect, I must commend your truly formidable strength."

Before the battle with Hades, the leader of the Nine Ghosts Sect, the last demon of the Nine Ghosts Sect, known as Absolute Zero Silver, stood in front of Li Xiaoxi and the other two and spoke in an icy tone.

Li Xiaoxi had fought quite a few demons, but she felt something was off about the demon in front of her that exuded such cold magic.

Well, to put it simply, Yin gave Li Xiaoxi the feeling of neither a demon nor a human, but rather like a dead person, yes, a dead person.

Moreover, the demons that Li Xiaoxi had previously destroyed had no magic power whatsoever, but this silver body radiated extremely strong ice magic power.

"Brandish, do you know any specific information about this person named Silver?"

Brandish shook his head in disappointment at Li Xiaoxi's question.

"Lady Xiaoxi, that silver looks somewhat similar to Gray!" At this moment, Yukino reported her discovery to Li Xiaoxi.

After hearing what Yukino said, Li Xiaoxi took a closer look and realized that he really did look a lot like Gray. Moreover, the more she looked, the more she felt that Gray and the person opposite him, Gin, looked alike, like father and son.

"Do you know this person?" Li Xiaoxi asked Silver, having transformed into Gray's appearance.

"Haha, you still want to stall for time? Unfortunately, I don't agree... Ah..." Yin hadn't finished speaking when he clutched his head and yelled.

"Lord hope, it seems he has a connection with Gray!"

After seeing Gin's reaction, Yukino and Li Xiaoxi realized that most of their guesses were correct.

"I sensed it too! It seems Gray has a close relationship with this person. I'll confirm it later."

"Which Gray are you talking about? He's actually related to Silver of the Nine Ghosts Gate?" Brandish finally couldn't help but ask.

"Gray is a member of Fairy Tail, both me and Lady Nozomi, and he's also an ice-manipulation magic user who loves to take off his clothes."

“Your Fairy Tail guild has quite a few weirdos. I just don’t understand why our Alvarez Empire would launch an attack on your strange guild! And what is this thing called ‘Lumen-Starlight’ that makes our powerful Alvarez Empire so wary that we’re even going to war to seize it?” Brandish was truly baffled.

"I don't know either. What exactly is 'Lumen-Starlight'? The guild leader never told me. But after we've dealt with the ambitions of your continent, I'll go back and ask the guild leader."

“By the way, you said you wanted to confirm, so how do you confirm?” Brandish suddenly thought of this question.

"It's simple. We can confirm it by entering that silver's consciousness world. Since he reacted to Gray's appearance, it means that there is definitely something related to Gray in his inner world."

"So what do you plan to do! The other party won't just stand there and let you enter their consciousness world without moving." Brandish looked at Li Xiaoxi curiously.

“If he won’t cooperate with me, I have a way. Watch closely.” After saying that, Li Xiaoxi used the time card, which stopped all time in the vicinity.

"Xiao hope's cards have such magic, they can even stop time! You're so cunning, you actually kept it from me!" Brandish looked at Li Xiao Xi with great grievance, as if Li Xiao Xi were her husband and Li Xiao Xi was hiding money from her.

"I told you long ago, Lady Nozomi is omnipotent! See?" Yukino said with great satisfaction, seeing Brandish's disappointed expression.

"No, after dealing with the Nine Ghosts Gate, I want to see all of your Little hope cards, otherwise, otherwise..." Brandish rambled on for a long time without revealing what threat she was threatening to Li Xiaoxi.

Chapter 299 Father

"Yukino, please take good care of my body. I'm going to Gin's consciousness world first!" Li Xiaoxi ignored Brandish's request and instructed Yukino.

"Yes, Xiaoxi-sama," Yukino replied to Li Xiaoxi very readily.

"Alright, I'm off then." After saying that, Li Xiaoxi closed her eyes, and then her body suddenly slumped down. Fortunately, Yukino was prepared.

This is the second time Li Xiaoxi has entered someone else's consciousness; the first time was with Mirajane, and this is the second time.

If Mirajane's world of consciousness is an unfathomable darkness, then Silver's world is essentially empty. Completely devoid of anything.

However, after Li Xiaoxi's arduous search, she finally learned about the relationship between Gray and this demon named Silver.

Li Xiaoxi's exploratory journey quickly came to an end, proving her guess was correct. The person before her was neither a demon nor a human, but a living dead—Grey's father, named Silver Fullpasta.

However, the reason why Gray's father was like this was only a fragment in Silver's consciousness space, which Li Xiaoxi summarized. It was that Silver's village was inexplicably wiped out, leaving only a hundred or so corpses. Silver was the only surviving corpse among the hundred corpses controlled by the Dark Master Keith, the only one that hadn't decayed. After being modified by the Dark Master Keith, Silver's appearance became like this.

Gin thus became the Ice Slayer of the Tartaros, a demon slayer who existed as a living dead, neither demon nor human, using demon-slaying magic rather than incantations. Gin lost his own consciousness, but his body's instincts told him that demons were his enemies, and he secretly continued to eliminate demons in order to take revenge.

This put Li Xiaoxi in a difficult position, as she unexpectedly encountered Gray's father here.

"Lady Xiaoxi, is that guy named Gin Gray's father?" Yukino asked as soon as Li Xiaoxi opened her eyes.

Li Xiaoxi nodded heavily. This is what puts Li Xiaoxi in a dilemma. The Nine Ghosts Gate must be destroyed, but what about Gray's father?

"What should we do now!" Yukino was also troubled after receiving the answer.

However, Brandish, who was playing in a space where time was forbidden, gave Li Xiaoxi a very good suggestion.

“What’s there to worry about? The dead will eventually return to the earth. That’s an unchangeable law, and no one can desecrate life. The only thing we can do now is to bring that silver man back to consciousness, tell him that his son is alive and well, and tell him not to worry and to go on his way in peace,” Brandish said while playing with the little bird that had been stuck in the sky because time was frozen.

“Brandish is right, this is the best solution now! Wait for me, let me let Silver’s original consciousness return first!” After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, she entered Silver’s consciousness space again.

After a short while, Li Xiaoxi recovered.

"Alright, now I'm going to access this space that's been stopped. You guys get ready a bit," Li Xiaoxi said, looking at Brandish who was really having fun.

"No, this place is so much fun, can't I play a little longer?" Brandish blinked and looked at Li Xiaoxi pitifully.

Li Xiaoxi ignored it completely. After seeing that Yukino was ready, she stopped the magic of the Time Card and restored time to normal.

"What's wrong with me? Wasn't I dead? Why am I here?!" Yin was the first to notice her physical condition and said in great surprise.

"Yes, you are dead, but now you are the Ice Slayer of Tartaros, a being that is neither demon nor human, but a living dead." Before Yin could even comprehend what was happening, Li Xiaoxi walked to his side and said, "By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Li Xiaoxi, and her name is Yukino Aguria. We are both members of Fairy Tail, and along with your son Gray Fullbuster, we are all Fairy Tail mages."

“Fairy Tail? My son… Oh right, Gray, you said Gray is in Fairy Tail.” After a period of confusion, Silver quickly remembered Gray, his son.

"Yes, Gray is in Fairy Tail now. He has his own companions and women who admire him! Although he has a habit of taking off his clothes, Fairy Tail is missing him!"

"That's good, that's good! My body and mind have held up for quite a while now!" Yin nodded with satisfaction, then spoke to Li Xiaoxi.

"..." Li Xiaoxi really didn't know how to answer this. Yukino had already turned her face away, and as for Brandish, she fell silent after Gin regained consciousness. Brandish also knew that this was the last time for Li Xiaoxi's companion's father, so it was better to keep quiet.

“I understand even if you don’t say it, but after waking up and learning that Gray is alive and well, I have no regrets. I haven’t been a good father. By the way, this is the Ice Demon Slayer Magic Training Method. Give it to Gray for me. Consider it my last gift to Gray! It’s just that I can’t give this gift to him in person. Thank you, Gray’s friend. And can I ask you for one more thing? Don’t mention my situation to him, so as not to add to his troubles.” Silver spoke before Li Xiaoxi could answer. He was very aware of his physical condition. Although his consciousness was still very clear, it was the mysterious magic power within him that was suppressing the death force. But all of this came at a price, but he was still very grateful to Li Xiaoxi for everything she had done for him.

So he took out the Ice Demon Slayer Magic that he had studied for many years and handed it to Li Xiaoxi, asking him to pass it on to his son, Gray Fullpasta.

Li Xiaoxi took the ice-based demon-slaying magic from the silver hand and nodded solemnly: "I will do it. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"No, if possible, after I lose consciousness, please let me disappear in the form of ice!"

Yin touched her bloodless body and said these words with great sadness.

I will do it.

"Honey, I've lived so many years longer than you, it's time to find you." After saying this, Yin's consciousness completely disappeared, and soon the consciousness that Li Xiaoxi had suppressed returned to Yin's body.

"What have you done? Why is my body like this?!"

"Just disappear like ice!" After saying that, Li Xiaoxi used ice magic to freeze Yin's body. Then, with a light touch, the ice scattered and looked beautiful in the sunlight.

Chapter 300 Hades

Li Xiaoxi watched as the ice, formed by the silver body, displayed its final, magnificent splendor in this world—a beautiful display of life itself.

"Yukino, once we get back to the guild, don't mention Gin, okay? Let's just forget about us meeting his father! That's best for Gray."

"I understand, Lady Nozomi, we didn't encounter anything," Yukino said, her cheeks flushed.

"Let Gray live a happy life in Fairy Tail! This matter is too heavy for him. Let's forget about it!" A gentle breeze blew by, as if to blow away Li Xiaoxi's sadness.

"What do you plan to do with the last Hades of Tartaros? He's not as easy to deal with as those demons," Brandish asked.

"I still only have one choice, and that is to destroy him. After what happened with Gray's father, Tartaros has no reason to exist in this world. Let me eliminate this threat to the world! Hades," Li Xiaoxi said calmly as she put away the Ice Demon Slayer Technique that Yin had given her.

"Lady Nozomi is right, that thing called Tartaros really has no reason to exist in this world!"

“But I’ve heard that Hades Maldo Gil has Zeref’s Book of End, and we don’t know what kind of magic he’s using. I’ve also heard that Maldo Gil despises humans and is cruel. Is it really okay for us to go like this?” Brandish said with great concern.

"Zephyr's Book of End?" Li Xiaoxi never expected that what she was looking for was in Hades's hands. It could be said that the quest item for Li Xiaoxi's century-long mission was Zephyr's Book of End. She never expected that she would find it so easily after searching high and low.

"Don't be afraid. He has Zeref's Book of End, and I have my trump card too. Or are you scared?"

"Lord Xiao hope, have you forgotten that Brandish is one of the Twelve Aegis of the Western Continent? Of course he'll speak up for Hades!"

"Who said I'm scared? And Yukino, I don't remember being a member of the Wizarding Twelve."

After months of traveling together, Brandish had long forgotten that she was still one of the Holy Twelve Shields of the Western Continent. Now, all she wanted was to be around Li Xiaoxi, act cute, and talk to her. As for the Holy Twelve Shields, Brandish had completely forgotten about them. She was even considering when to bring up the topic of returning to the Eastern Continent with Li Xiaoxi.

"Everyone in the Western Continent knows you're a member of the Twelve Aegis. Are you still pretending to be ignorant?"
