Chapter 109: The World's No. 1 Swordsman
The cut surface caused by the slash was as smooth as torn paper. The buildings above were affected by gravity and slid down along the inclined cut, making a loud rumbling sound.
"Nani??!!"×N
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Even Joseph had never seen such powerful swordsmanship in decades, so he could not understand what he saw.
Why can a person send the disembodied Jupiter Cannon flying with just a slash? And why can this person cut through his own mechanical castle with a single sword? Is this kind of power really within human reach?
"What exactly is going on?!"
Joseph was furious. The person in front of him was clearly the Kira he had just met, but why was there such a big difference?
"You bastard! Who are you?!"
"I asked you the same question three times. Do you have Alzheimer's? I should have made it very clear just now!"
Kira stepped forward and stood in front of Joseph. He passed his hand through his red hair, posed in a very cool way, and said helplessly, "Well, since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you!"
"Old ghost, remember this, I do good things without leaving a name, I am popular among thousands of boys and girls, the world's number one swordsman , Kira Disper!"
The Fairy Tail members who came over looked at each other in confusion: "Disper... I remember Kira's last name should be Hopelet, right?"
"His name is Kira too. What's going on? Aren't they twin brothers?"
Kira Disper sheathed his knife again, stepped hard, and rushed to Joseph in an instant.
"One sword style, infinite!"
“Nani?! Ugh—!”
Joseph didn't react at all. He only felt a flash before his eyes, as if he saw a knife slashing in front of him. His body flew backwards, blood splattered, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, and they were completely speechless.
"How amazing! He was able to kill Joseph of the Saint Ten with just one strike," Mira exclaimed, covering her mouth. "No, even if we don't just talk about swordsmanship, it would be difficult for even Kira to kill a Saint Ten-level wizard with just one strike!"
Hearing Mira's words, Lucy suddenly remembered the scene in Zonia where Kira fought against the Ice Demon King Ace, and felt that Mira might have been a little conservative in her estimation of Kira's strength.
"Anyway, it's great that even Joseph was defeated. This crisis should be resolved, right?" Lucy asked in a low voice.
Mira thought for a while, nodded and said, "Probably... But who is this 'Kira Disper'? He gives me a strange feeling."
"It should be okay, right? After all, he looks exactly like Kira, and he saved us, so he should be considered a companion right?"
"I hope so..."
Mistgang looked at the fallen Joseph and breathed a sigh of relief: "Disper... why are you here?"
"Why? Why don't you come visit Kira here? I hear the name of 'Sage' everywhere I go!"
Disper put away his sword, his face full of excitement and his tone a little excited, as if he couldn't wait to see Kira and have a good fight with him.
"It's really unpleasant to always feel like someone else!"
Mistgang, who was a little tired, sat on the ground defenselessly. "So, you are here to challenge him? You are indeed very strong to be able to defeat Joseph with one move, but he is not weak either! It's hard to say who will win if we really fight."
"Hey, hey, hey... don't say such harsh words! The so-called 'challenge' is a word that is only used when one's strength is not as good as the opponent. I'm just here to spar with him!"
" Which one is better, magic or swordsmanship? Don't you want to know?"
"Not interested in!"
"You are such a boring person!"
"Speaking of which, how long are you going to wear this ridiculous mask? Don't you want to be yourself?"
Mistgang was a little embarrassed: "It's none of your business..."
"Tsk! It's because you always waste time on these meaningless things that your strength will never improve!"
Disper turned and walked towards Mira and Lucy. When he turned around, Mistgang suddenly discovered that he had two knives on his waist, which meant that he was probably a two-sword wielder, but he only used one knife to deal with Joseph just now.
Mistgang: So he didn't use his full strength just now? Is he that strong?
"You guys are Hopelet's companions, right?"
Mira stepped forward and stopped everyone, thought for a moment and said, "If you mean Kira, then yes!"
"Oh, it seems that he is more popular than I thought!"
"Um... Actually, it seems that there is no..."
Several extras in the guild thought so in their hearts but did not dare to say it out loud. This guy was a ruthless man who could kill Joseph with one sword, so it was better not to mess with him. After all, he saved the guild, but their gossipy hearts still made them whisper.
"Is this guy really not Kira's twin brother? They look exactly the same!"
"Their personalities seem similar..."
"Since you saved Mistgang, you should be a friend rather than an enemy, right?"
"What is his relationship with Mistgang?"
"Isn't that guy here?"
Mira looked at Disper and said, "It may be a little presumptuous, but can I ask what your relationship with Kira is?"
Although the person in front of him saved his companions and the guild, he still had to be wary. After all, this face made people think too much.
And there was some ill intention in his words. Judging from the conversation between him and Mistgang just now, was he here to challenge Kira?
Disper didn't care about Mira's vigilance and said, "I am his long-lost twin brother with different fathers and different mothers."
"You care about him so much? Why? Are you his?" Disper said, raising his little finger, "I never thought he would be such a guy obsessed with beauty..."
"That's terrible! Is this still considered Kira?"
Although she didn't understand why this person was suddenly so angry, Mira now felt that he was very similar to Kira in some ways.
"Uh...Kira and I are just companions."
"If not, then I won't tell you!" Disper turned around and walked into the guild as if he were walking into his own home, "I'll just wait here for him to come back!"
With such unruly personalities, are they really not brothers? But what about half-twins?
No one else dared to stop Disper, they just looked at Mistgan, hoping he could give an explanation.
But Mistgang thought for a long time and just said, "Don't worry, he is not a bad person."
…
When the airship arrived at the guild, the battle there had already ended thirty minutes ago.
The distance that would have taken half a day to travel by car only took less than an hour after Kira turned on the maximum speed of the airship.
"I'm finally here. I must beat up that guy Ben Joseph!!"
"If you hadn't flown off on your own, Natsu, we would have been here long ago!"
"Is the guild and everyone okay?"
On the airship, everyone in Fairy Tail was talking about it, but compared to usual, this was a rare silence.
Suddenly, the person standing in the front shouted: "Look! That's the headquarters of the Phantom!"
Looking in the direction of his finger, sure enough, a huge six-legged castle stood near Magnolia. It was as tall as two Fairy Tail guilds, separating the airship and the guild, blocking everyone's view.
“Is Joseph there?”
"Wait, something seems wrong!" At this time, Erza's voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was silent.
Everyone stared with wide eyes and took a closer look, only to find that the entire castle was cut in half, and even the Jupiter cannon that Joseph was so proud of was broken.
"Traces like these look like sword marks."
"How is it possible that someone could use swordsmanship like this?!"
"Can Erza do this?"
"I don't know. If I try my best, maybe I can..."
As the airship landed, they also saw a figure lying unconscious on the ground.
Someone who knew them shouted, "That's Juvia and Sol from the Phantom Four Elements. They really came to steal our house!"
"They have been knocked down. Who did it?"
"Hey, look! That man is the leader of the Phantom Guild, Joseph!"
Kira got off the airship first, walked over to check, and was surprised to find that the wounds on old man Joseph's body were also sword marks.
