Chapter 58 The exploration team decided to act separately
"These demons who have been fighting with the Isisnu tribe for many years are all of ice attribute. Most of the monsters they created are also of ice attribute. As a fire magician, you can't take advantage of this place!"
After thinking about it, Poole felt that it would be better to tell Natsu about the situation. He couldn't let such a young man die in vain. "Besides, those demons are very powerful. It is because of our family's methods such as the Ice Demon Slayer that we have been able to fight them for many years. I don't mean to disrespect you, but if you think you are not strong enough, you should go back."
Natsu clenched his fist confidently, "We won't go back! We are the wizards of Fairy Tail, don't worry , I will defeat these mere monsters!"
The harpy raised his hand and asked, "I have a question. Since your tribe has such powerful magic, why do you need us to come and repel the monsters?"
As if being asked about a sore spot, Poole's face suddenly fell: "In fact, the Aishiniu family no longer has this magic. The Ice Demon-Exterminating Magic has been passed down from generation to generation without interruption. The successor of my generation is my brother, and the next generation should be his daughter, that is, my niece, Winter."
At this point, Poole's eyes were somewhat sad. "However, several years ago, a man came here and took away the magic that our clan should have passed on. My brother died because of this."
"The magic was taken away?"
"Yes, the Ice Demon Slayer Magic is different from other magics. It needs to be passed down from generation to generation, from one person to another. There is no other way to learn it. After that man took away the magic, our Aishiniu clan no longer has this magic, and that is why we cannot stop the invasion of monsters."
…
"Ice God-Slaying Magic?" Erza blurted out after hearing Kira's news, "It sounds very similar to Natsu's Dragon-Slaying Magic. Could it be a magic for fighting against gods?"
Gray's expression was moved: "It's actually ice-attributed killing magic? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"Yes, unlike the Dragon Slaying Magic taught by dragons, the God Slaying Magic is recorded in books and can be learned by people. It is said that a teacher in the Council has a book on practicing God Slaying Magic, but no one has been able to learn it so far." Kira continued to share his information.
"Ice God-killing Magic, no wonder this place has turned into a snowy mountain."
"The Black Lady uses magic to destroy gods, so could the White Lady be a god?"
"But the result of the battle was that the White Lady won."
"What's so strange about this? Natsu can't necessarily defeat a dragon!"
Several people were talking at once, making one guess after another.
Suddenly, Kana thought of something: "That's not right. Wasn't our original purpose to investigate the man that the goddess was fighting for? Didn't you find any relevant information in this regard?"
Kira closed his eyes and shook his head regretfully. "Absolutely nothing! I searched all the relevant books I could find, and even contacted Aoki Pegasus's Hibiki - his ancient book magic is very good at gathering information. But even he couldn't find any records about this man. It's like he was deliberately erased."
Erza asked, "You were only away for a short while, but you did so many things?"
"Of course, the most important thing in collecting intelligence is speed!" Kira said with some pride.
"It is worth mentioning that, during my search, I found that there are many versions of the legend of the goddess, but the man does not exist in any of them. In some versions, the reasons why the goddess fights are also very strange."
"But! Among them, there is one version that I find very interesting."
"What is it?"
"Are there any other versions of the legend of the goddess? I have never heard of them."
"Yes, this is the only story that is different from other versions." Kira chuckled, "In this story, the Black and White Goddesses are a pair of sisters who have been separated for many years. They were adopted by two hostile forces after they were born. After the two forces went to war, the Black and White Goddesses became enemies."
"During the battle in Zonia, they sensed each other's identities due to their blood relationship, but they were unable to stop, and in the end both were injured. Without a certain man who had no record, even the outcome of the battle would have been different."
"Um... this story..."
Kira's tone was somewhat gloating: "How is it? How does it feel to have a romantic love legend suddenly become a clichéd and vulgar family ethics story?"
Gray: “So boring.”
Kana: “Not interested at all.”
Erza: "So disappointed!"
Elfman: "Not manly at all!"
Rocky: "Ah~sisters ? I'm even more excited!"
Kira frowned in disgust: "Rocky, you are disgusting..."
"Wait...if we follow this version, then what are we arguing about?" Gray suddenly reacted.
"That's right! How do we settle our bet?"
They even placed a bet for the sake of the deal, with the winner getting to enjoy a day of eating, drinking and having fun as they pleased within the confines of Magnolia, and the loser paying the bill.
Such a good opportunity must not be missed!
Kira thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult indeed. How about this, since I provided the information, why don't I just assume that I won?"
"You wish!"
"dream!"
“This must be fake!”
Several people surrounded Kira and beat him up...
Erza quietly watched Kira dodge left and right as he was surrounded by several people, and suddenly a sense of crisis emerged: "Stop first!"
Several people asked curiously: "What's wrong, Erza?"
Erza's eyes were serious: "Did you hear any sound?"
The air suddenly became quiet...
Boom boom...
Gray listened to this familiar voice and slowly said, "This seems to be... the sound of an avalanche."
"No need to look, just look back." Kira waved his finger behind everyone.
At the same time, everyone found that the sky suddenly darkened. Looking back, they saw a vast expanse of snow-capped mountains rushing towards them.
"It's so spectacular!" Kira exclaimed!
"Idiot! This kind of disaster can really kill people!" Gray, who grew up in the snow, has the most experience with this kind of natural disaster.
"What are you afraid of? There are no ordinary residents nearby, so there won't be many casualties."
"That's true." Gray suddenly calmed down.
Kira seemed to have thought of something and asked the people around him: "Do you think this movement has something to do with Natsu?"
"What are you talking about? Even if it's Natsu...it doesn't seem impossible!"
Rocky adjusted his glasses and said, "What are we going to do now? My magic can't handle this situation."
"The costume-changing magic won't work, although I should be able to defend myself against it."
"Can't we freeze it with Gray's ice?"
Gray shook his head and said, "It's too big to freeze. Anyway, I won't freeze to death."
" Leave it to me!" Kira stepped forward and grabbed the joystick of the airship, "This is a fairy airship."
Kira sat in the driver's seat and rotated the joystick a few times. A platform that looked like the airship controller slowly rose up. With his fingers moving, the keyboard made a clicking sound. Kira used his hands, which had been forging magic props for many years, to quickly press on it, dazzling Erza and the others.
"What is he pressing?"
“There doesn’t seem to be any pattern at all.”
"Is this guy really controlling the airship? I think he's just pretending..."
Why would they think so? Because the display interface on the platform did not change at all, Kira's operation was like a child using a wooden stick as a sword.
Feeling that he had almost pressed all the buttons, Kira raised his hand and pressed a button next to the keyboard.
"Stand firm!"
Hearing Kira's words, Gray, Kana and Rocky suddenly had a familiar feeling of unease. Before they could react, the tail engine of the fairy airship spewed out hot gas, and then shot out at ten times the speed, leaving the snow-capped mountains far behind.
Bang!
The sudden acceleration knocked several people who had lost their balance onto the airship one after another.
"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me you wanted to speed up?"
"If I didn't need you to fly the airship, I would definitely give you a good beating right now."
"I will smash your store when I get back!"
However, Kira acted as if he didn't hear anything. He hummed a little tune and flew the airship amid the fierce curses. He felt so happy!
The snow-capped mountains were getting farther and farther away, and Kira could no longer catch up. He parked the airship on the snow and got out of the driver's seat.
After dodging the fist attacks of the four men, Kira asked, "So, we are going to conduct a carpet search and adventure from now on. Do you have any suggestions? Should we act separately or together?"
"Let's act separately, it will be more efficient this way." Erza thought for a moment and said, "Also, if we run into Natsu and Lucy, don't let them act yet. Wait until I or Killer arrive."
Among these six people, Erza might be the only one who still cares about Natsu accepting the S-rank mission.
So, Markov was not wrong about the person.
"Forget it, Erza, I don't think they can persuade Natsu." Kira said to Erza with a smile, "Do whatever you want, just be safe."
Why don't you say that Kira is more popular in the guild? This is the difference between him and Erza, one is the good cop and the other is the bad cop. Kira is the mediator when Erza is ruthless and impartial.
But Erza still said seriously and ruthlessly: "If Fairy Tail's reputation is ruined because of Natsu, I won't let him off so easily!"
"Hehe... Forget it. Our guild's reputation in the Council isn't that great."
"Kira!" This frivolous attitude made Erza a little dissatisfied. Humph, she learned it from the president!
"Alright, alright..." Kira waved his hand, "I'll leave first, you guys can form your own team!"
After saying that, Kira put away the airship, turned around and walked in a random direction.
The remaining people, Erza and Gray's team, and Cana, Loki and Elfman's team, searched in the other two directions respectively.
The wonderful snow mountain adventure begins! !
