Chapter 101 Sunshine after the Rain
Kira's specially made Mira armor can give the user stronger melee capabilities. Whether it is attack, speed or defense, it greatly enhances Mira's combat effectiveness, almost equivalent to the physical fitness after receiving the soul of Satan.
Punching, kicking, hitting, slapping...
Even Natsu and a few guys who were good at close combat had been defeated by this attack, let alone Juvia who almost relied on magic to fight?
Turn around and retreat? In a blink of an eye, Mira caught up with him;
Head-on fight? Juvia is completely no match for Mira, who is wearing Mira's armor and has restored her original combat power!
Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as her body was broken apart, gathered together, and broken apart again and again, until...
"Oh no! Juvia 's magic..."
When in close contact, the Mie armor will suppress the magician's magic to a certain extent. If the contact is prolonged, it will gradually absorb the magician's magic as energy for the armor.
Whether it was because of the long hours of fighting as an element, the gradual absorption of her magic power by her armor, or because of her reduced stamina in close combat with Mira, Juvia could no longer continue to fight.
Bang!
"Hit!" Mira cheered.
"It seems that the continuous attacks have made it impossible for her to continue to maintain her elemental magic."
“Oh no, Juvia’s magic power is no longer enough to sustain her elemental body…”
Unstable but powerful magic power continuously poured into the Mi armor, activating the special move set by Kira, which was specifically used in close combat.
Mira sensed the situation and clenched her left hand into a fist, swinging it forward with all her strength: "Devil's Left Wrist!!"
'Oops!'
Juvia was unable to react in time and was hit directly by the attack, which was so powerful that it sent her flying.
“Ahhhh!!”
When Lucy arrived, she only saw Juvia lying unconscious on the ground, and Mira, who had already taken off her armor and was sitting on the ground exhausted.
"The rain...stopped?"
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the warm sunshine shone on Mira's face. Her crystal tears reflected a moving light.
"I did it! Now I have the power to protect my friends... Thank you, Kira!"
Although her tears were streaming, Lucy could clearly feel the joy in Mira's heart.
"Lucy, I'm so glad you're okay..."
Lucy walked over and hugged Mira, also thanking her with tears in her eyes: "Milasan...thank you!!"
"Okay, let's go back, Lucy!"
"Um!"
[Guild Showdown: Fairy Tail VS Spectre's Ruler]
[Location: Near the Fairy Tail Guild]
[Participants: Mira VS Juvia]
[Winner: Mira]
…
"Why haven't Thor and Juvia brought their target here yet?! Is there a change in operations?"
At this time, Joseph, who was waiting for no news at the Phantom Headquarters, looked anxious, "It seems that I have to go there myself and bring back the mission target!"
…
The ruler of the Phantom, the branch.
Kira followed Markov to find the soul body of the Phantom's president, Joseph Pola...
"Joseph! Are you ready to die?"
Marklov was furious, his veins bulging. Although his body was small, the power in his body should not be underestimated. As the seventh-ranked magician among the Ten Saints, this title alone was enough to illustrate his strength.
However, he was now facing a wizard who was also ranked among the Ten Holy Ones.
Joseph sat on a gorgeous chair and faced the giant's anger calmly: "Markov...it's been a long time since we last met! The last time was six years ago at the regular meeting...I drank a little and it was very unpleasant!"
But Markov didn't listen to Joseph at all. He was so furious that he just wanted to beat him up to avenge his child!
"Joseph, I'm not here to reminisce with you!" Markrov interrupted Joseph directly, "Answer my question! Are you ready for revenge after going to war with Fairy Tail?!"
“Hehehahaha!” Joseph laughed wildly, “Of course, Markov, I’ve been ready to fight you to the death! But… not now!”
"Hmm?" Markov also realized that the Joseph in front of him was not his real self: "Is it a thought body?"
"Joseph!" Markov shouted, "Where are you?!"
"Yeah, where am I now? Markov, how about you guess? I attracted all of you here, so where would I be now? What is my goal?"
Joseph in the form of thought was calm and composed. He kept using some meaningless words to stall for time and provoke Markov's restless nerves. What he wanted to do was to attract Markov's attention, distract his thoughts, and let Alia attack when he was careless.
Sure enough, the action worked. Markov, who was always careful, was diverted by Joseph's words. Although he was furious, he was not stupid and began to think about the other party's purpose.
Joseph walked forward. As a body of thought, he was not worried at all about being hurt.
He noticed Kira. He had heard of the title of "Sage" a long time ago, but he felt that Kira did not live up to the title. His strength was only about the same as Erza, who was known as the "Fairy Queen". He did not need to worry about such a person affecting his plans, and there was no need for him to take him to heart!
"Is this the genius in the guild you were talking about back then? He does look pretty good. His fame has spread here in recent years. I've heard about him so many times that my ears are covered with calluses!"
An ugly face came before his eyes, and Kira really wanted to punch him, but this was a body of thoughts, so he couldn't hit him. He could only use his best pre-battle taunt.
"If you don't want to hear about my reputation, why not just cut off your ears?"
Kira didn't want to retreat. If he did, wouldn't he lose in momentum?
He didn't want to close his eyes either, otherwise what if the old man was ambushed?
Kira felt that if the person who was sticking close to his face and saying such things was a beautiful woman, such as Mira or Erza, or someone like Irene who was not only beautiful but also strong enough for him to resist, the best way would be to kiss her directly.
Even if it is a thought body, it will definitely be frightened!
But now the person who was speaking to him like this right in front of his face was an old, ugly middle-aged man. Even if he was a thought body, even if he was dead Kira, he would not do this.
So when faced with this situation, the best way is to pretend you saw nothing!
"Speaking of which, I saw Gajeel from your guild in the Council before, and he said that the Phantom Flame was going to declare war on Fairy Tail, that's it!"
"What?" Joseph was shocked. "I've never heard Gajeel mention it before? How could he not tell me such an important thing!"
"I asked him to convey a message to you at that time. I wonder if he told you?"
Joseph was silent for two seconds and then asked, "What?"
"Oh, don't worry, it's not a nice thing!"
Joseph: “…”
"But since you asked so sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you," Kira replied , "I just want you to write the surrender letter first, otherwise it will be too late now!"
Joseph was furious when he heard this: "How dare you humiliate me like this, you bastard?!"
"Looking at your situation, you must not have written it, right?" Kira looked at Joseph with pity in his eyes, "If you can't read, you can go to my shop to work first. I won't charge you for learning to read!"
After being interrupted by Kira, Markov felt a little better and his mind calmed down.
Instead, Joseph lost his mind and laughed angrily: "Hahahahaha!! You little bastard!! Just wait for me!! I will kill you!!"
"You should take care of yourself first."
"Markov!" Joseph turned his back to Kira and stood between him and the old man. "Didn't you just ask me where I am now?"
"Hmm? Are you finally willing to tell me?"
"I'll tell you the truth! This time, Phantom received a commission to bring back a wizard from your guild!"
"Bring back...who?"
"Ms. Lucy from the Heartfilia Foundation!!"
Markov's face darkened again: "You... dare to do something to my family?!"
"What are you talking about, Markov?" Joseph seemed to no longer care, and his expression was quite arrogant. "You were the first to say that we should start a war! Aren't we already enemies?"
"To prevent any accidents, I have sent two S-class wizards from the guild ahead. The main forces of your guild are all here, and there is no one left to protect your family, Markov!"
"You bastard!!!"
Markov 's roar meant the loss of reason. Seeing this scene, Joseph was overjoyed and showed a cunning smile as if his plan had succeeded.
'It's now!'
Alia appeared behind Markov in an instant.
"Oh no !" Markov was shocked. His anger made him careless and he didn't notice the enemy approaching quietly.
"Airspace, destroy!"
