Chapter 596: Magic and Swordsmanship
clang!!!
Disper suddenly shook, and with a crisp metallic sound, he blew away the last wave of lightning projectiles. The eight sword afterimages disappeared at the same time. Then he adjusted his body in less than a third of a second and slashed towards Kira again.
Same face but different temperament, the familiar eyes reflected each other's figures.
"Lock and bind!"
The bullets scattered on the ground suddenly came alive, leaping up the moment Disper moved, and followed closely behind. Under Kira's control, the speed of the bullets was faster than Disper's. They suddenly scattered, and then moved to the corresponding positions as if they were pre-programmed, and gathered into several thigh-thick chains to intercept Disper in front of him.
"Two Swords Style: Tiger Roar!"
With a light shout, the sword swung.
The sword energy condensed into the phantom of a tiger, which was emitting scorching flames all over its body, adding three points of ferocity to its already extremely powerful attack. The two sharp swords were like the two claws of a tiger, and everything in front of it became a lamb to be slaughtered, without any power to resist.
The metal chain, which was harder than ordinary steel, did not play its due role. Disper's movements were as smooth as a seasoned chef chopping melons and vegetables. He cut the chain in front of him effortlessly.
Clank! Clank!
The crossed sword marks cut the chain into several pieces, which fell heavily to the ground. However, Disper did not even raise his eyelids, and continued to attack. He shouted again: "Take another one from me!"
"Two Swords Style: Wolf Run!!"
The two swords turned into wolf-shaped shadows, and Kira saw an unruly wolf king rushing towards him.
"Take the ghost, I'll block it again!"
Kira showed no intention of retreating, and commanded the steel to change again. The original chains quickly melted and deformed, turning into five huge pentagonal iron pillars that surrounded Disper. The iron pillars were connected by chains to ensure balance and disperse the force.
"Five pillars of iron!"
The iron pillars blocked Disper's sight, but Kira knew that it would not last long. After all, this was magic he performed using steel made from Gajeel's magic. Gajeel's magic had long since disappeared, so naturally, the steel would not last long.
What's more, even real steel would not be able to withstand Disper's slashing blows. The only way to restrain his two swords is to use powerful and stable magical creations.
Sure enough, the next moment, the five iron pillars split in the middle, and a giant green wolf with long claws appeared in the middle, using the "Tornado Destroying the Parking Lot" move, which was unstoppable.
“It’s not over yet!”
"Two Swords Style: Leopard Roar!!"
The agile cheetah was wrapped in light blue electric light with crackling sounds. It leaped lightly and covered a distance of more than ten meters in an instant. It attacked with its paws and tail whip at the same time, so fast that there was no time to blink.
"Fire Tiger, Wind Wolf, and next is Thunder Leopard? Are your moves too fancy?"
Kira couldn't help but comment out loud, "I remember your moves were more concise and sharper than they are now! How come they're getting worse the more you use them?"
"What do you know?! Being strong is temporary, but being handsome lasts a lifetime!"
"And you know, my sword moves are not set in stone!"
Disper was not ashamed, but looked at Kira proudly, his eyes following his movements, his two swords locked in position, "My dual-sword move this time is mainly for show!"
“…You’re still the best!”
What else can he say? He can't refute it! After all, being handsome is really important!
Thunder Leopard rushed over, piercing Kira's figure coldly and cruelly. The next moment, the image that looked like a reflection in a mirror shattered.
“Is it an afterimage?”
Disper was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that with his eyesight, he could make a mistake.
While he was reflecting on himself, Kira's voice rang in his ears: "But, in terms of fancy tricks, swordsmanship is nothing compared to magic!"
A ripple appeared in space, as if a door had opened on the empty ground.
Kira walked out of the air, unharmed, and no one knew when he had hidden there.
He just put his fingers together and lightly touched his forehead, then pulled outwards, bringing out a thick beam of magic light. The magic power was divided into three parts along the direction of the sword and fell to the ground, transforming into the images of a fire tiger, a wind wolf, and a thunder leopard, which were lifelike and majestic.
"Word Spirit Shape·Beast Army!"
Disper was stunned, and the action of continuing to attack stopped instantly: "Shaping magic?? You can also do this? Wait, what is Word Spirit Shaping? You can actually create life? I have never heard of such shaping magic!"
This expression is great! It’s the same face, but this look of shock is worth keeping for a memory!
Kira laughed triumphantly, with a hint of pride in his voice: "I am the most gifted wizard in the world. What do you, a swordsman, know?"
"Modeling magic is the magic of freedom!"
"Ahh~ I think I've heard this from Gray..."
The corner of Disper's mouth twitched. "No matter how free the modeling magic is, it's impossible to create life with something like Word Spirit, right?"
"It wasn't possible originally. I could only create inanimate objects like guns and swords. But later, I borrowed from many magics such as 'Arc of Manifestation', 'Heaven's Executioner: Heaven's Punishment', 'Memory Modeling', and 'Mechanical Writing', which made my Word Spirit Modeling go further!"
The battle between Kira and Preshito on Tenrou Island a year ago gave Kira a certain understanding of creating pseudo-life, which enabled him to research similar magic.
Kira was in a very happy mood, with bright stars in his eyes. "Of course, we also have to thank Preshito for his support! His rich collection over the years provided... a little help for the emergence of this magic."
"It's mainly because I'm awesome!"
If you want to cite literature, just mention it at the end of .
What's more, Preshito is only a collector of magic, not a creator, and he doesn't play a key role in the innovation of magic. In fact, there is no need to bring him along when I publish magic. I only mention him because of his identity as the "Second Generation President".
"Creating life... Aren't you afraid of being cursed by that god like Jellal?"
"It's 'The Curse of Anxelram'!" Kira corrected.
"Yes, yes, yes... That's it! The same thing as your first president!"
Disper nodded vigorously. "Aren't you worried? I heard that this curse will make people immortal, and their personalities will become very contradictory, right? The more you love life, the more likely you are to die... It sounds very weird!"
"Come on! Immortality and all that, that's super cool, right?"
Kira looked at Disper with disdain. "Besides, what I love most is money! Money itself is a dead thing. Can it die?"
“But money will depreciate!”
"Eh?! (⊙o⊙)... I still love the pleasure of making money. Do you think emotions will die?"
"Will it make people feel empty? I heard that for some wealthy people, money is just a number after reaching a certain level. They will start to dislike money and have no interest in it..."
Hearing this, Kira's eyes lit up instantly: "Let my savings be so full that my heart is empty? There is such a good thing?! Wow cool wow cool!"
“…”
The two were speechless for a moment, and the match was tied at 1-1. It was obvious that this battle was not only a test of strength, but also of argument.
Kira thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me, if I let myself fall in love with the phenomenon of 'life death', will this phenomenon still happen? Or will the life that is loved still die? For example, if I simply fall in love with myself..."
"You are a pervert, right?! You are definitely a psychopath!!"
Disper, "Did you practice magic too much and have problems with your mind and brain?! I knew magic was not a good thing..."
"Hey hey hey...don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not a pervert. I just want to try and see if I can solve the 'Curse of Anxelram' with a special method."
Disper curled his lips: "Then this method is really special..."
Kira pushed up his nonexistent glasses and acted like an elegant scholar. "Look, I can create a magic item to stop the curse in a year, but what about Jellal? He hasn't figured out a way in four hundred years. I guess he has put all his intelligence into creating magic. So I'm the only one who can solve this problem."
"Ah, you look more like a pervert! You look like a gentleman on the outside, but you're actually a pervert on the inside..."
"Okay, stop saying those incomprehensible words!"
Kira waved his hands and anticipated Disper's complaints, "What gentleman pervert? I'm not a gentleman! ... And of course I'm not a pervert either!"
"It's not that easy to get rid of the 'Curse of Anxelram'. At least you have to create a life that can survive for a long time! Just like Atelias."
"Preshito can also use the move 'Heaven's Executioner: Heaven's Punishment' to create demons from dirt. He was fine, so I will probably be fine too. I guess it's because this kind of temporary life creation is not recognized by the gods as 'real life'."
Although Disper has no magical power, he has a high IQ and rich experience. His understanding in this area is actually deeper than most wizards in "Fairy Tail".
"In other words, the monsters you created with the Word Spirit Shape are inferior to Etrias, right?"
"…I think you could use the adjective 'convenient'."
Kira looked at the three artificial monsters beside him and sighed deeply: "However, if possible, I would actually like to create life in another way."
Disper did not ask Kira how he wanted to create life. He subconsciously felt that was not a proper answer.
He held the knife in front of him and concentrated his mind again.
"Let me try out the power of the new magic you developed!"
