Chapter 67: Kira vs. Klaue
"If I get stabbed, I'm doomed!" Habib clicked his tongue.
“Hahaha! Take that, take that!!”
Claue in the air waved a whip in one hand and wielded a sword in the other, continuously attacking Natsu and Happy on the snow. Both weapons were as hard as steel and could be extended and retracted freely.
The density of spherical clouds, the width of sea clouds, the toughness of rope clouds and the sharpness of iron clouds, the four work together seamlessly. Plus, the controller who can transform into elements and make the clouds immune to physical attacks is indeed a tough opponent.
"Cloud magic?" Kira quietly watched the cautious Natsu, thinking of ways to break the magic cloud formation, and praised it repeatedly, "It's really powerful. This way, you can kill the enemy without getting close to him. In this place, there are magic bonuses and restraints. Natsu will be difficult to deal with in this battle."
I just feel that this magic of controlling clouds is a little familiar.
"Natsu, be careful!" Lucy's exclamation brought Kira back to his senses.
In the field, Natsu dodged the cloud sword that was as fast as the wind, but he still couldn't avoid the dense cloud balls. It was like a game called "Ten Drops of Water". After triggering the first one, the overwhelming cloud balls formed a series of explosions.
"Natsu! Happy!" Everything happened too suddenly. Not to mention Natsu who was in the battle, even Lucy who was outside the game didn't react. She could only watch anxiously beside Kira, but couldn't get close to Natsu and Happy who were shrouded in water vapor and clouds.
Boom!
The violent explosion shook the earth and lasted for three full minutes. During this time, the clouds continued to devour Natsu's physical strength and magic power, and the scalding steam also left painful scars on his body.
Suddenly, the familiar flames erupted from the center of the battlefield again, evaporating the thick clouds and water vapor.
Kira looked over and saw Happy being held tightly in Natsu's arms with a small burn on his skin; Natsu was curled up and kneeling in the snow, his clothes had been destroyed in the explosion, and because he had blocked most of the water vapor for Happy, his injuries were even more serious.
Baptized by flames and steam, the surrounding temperature increased significantly. Even the snowfield with a history of thousands of years of accumulation sank several meters, forming a huge pit. Natsu was now holding Happy and hiding in the sunken snow pit. Perhaps it was this snow pit that blocked most of the attacks.
Lucy rushed over and helped Natsu up, and Kira also followed to take a look. This degree of burns was actually not worth mentioning. With Natsu's physique, he could probably recover in half a day. If he endured it, he could still fight next, but Kira decided to take action.
Harpy is the guild's favorite, especially his cute accent, which Kira likes very much. Now that he is injured, Kira can't stand it. Whether it is called Harpy or Doraemon, the blue cat is a very cute creature.
The water vapor gathered into clouds in the air again. Klaue stood on the clouds with a cold expression, staring at Kira in the snow pit from a distance.
"Natsu, I'll take care of the rest. Is that ok with you?"
Although it was a question, it revealed a tone that brooked no rejection. After he finished speaking, without waiting for Natsu to answer, he waved his hand and a green magic circle appeared. Magic with the breath of life fell on Natsu and Happy respectively, quickly healing their injuries.
"cure!"
Kira jumped out of the pit and took two steps forward, looking up at the enemy standing on the white clouds in the sky. Although she looked like a young girl, she was actually an old aunt who had lived for who knows how long, and he would not show any mercy when he attacked.
Now that the opponent has changed, Claude will not simply think that Kira and Natsu are of similar strength. She can feel the difference between the two from Kira's gradually increasing magical pressure.
In the magic world, magic power will have unique properties depending on the magic practiced. Even if the same magic is practiced, there will be slight differences after careful perception.
Natsu's magic is as hot as fire, Gray's magic is as cold as ice, Erza's magic is as sharp as a sword, and Kira's magic gives people a sacred feeling.
It is not the sacredness of holy magic or light magic, but a sacredness with a lofty, mysterious and distant atmosphere. It is like the bell from heaven, the breath from nature, the call of prehistoric civilization, the god descending from the sky, and the crystallization of human wisdom.
Kira once felt his own magical power and vaguely felt that it was probably due to the magic of words.
Isn't this what words, language, characters, and real names are all like?
In addition to this special sacredness, Kira's magic has another characteristic: there is a lot of it!
When he first crossed over, Kira discovered his own peculiarity. Even though he ate, drank and had fun every day, the magic power in his body was growing at an alarming rate, almost without stopping for a moment.
From the moment he learned to use Word Magic, he had never experienced what it was like to not have enough magic power.
When he became an S-class wizard of Fairy Tail at the age of twelve, his magic power was already comparable to that of Laxus today; when he was listed in the newspaper and became famous in the Kingdom of Fiore and was almost called one of the Ten Holy Wizards, his magic power was already almost the same as that of Markrov;
And now, although there is no actual comparison, he guessed that he might have reached the peak of the Ten Saints, and might even be able to touch the Twelve Holy Shields of the Albares Empire. The thought of it made him a little excited.
Of course, the double walls are an exception. Kira feels that each of those two bug-level characters can beat another ten shields.
"What's up with this human's magic power? He has more than me, a demon who has lived for hundreds of years! In terms of magic power alone, he might be on par with Uncle Bing."
Although he was confident in his own magic, the magical power of the man in front of him was too great. Seeing Kira slowly approaching, Claude couldn't help but sweat.
"This human might be even stronger than Uncle Bing ... I wonder what kind of magic he uses?"
Claue saw the whole process of Kira healing Natsu and Happy, but he didn't understand it.
Because although it is magic that can heal injuries, it does not belong to healing magic. In this era, healing magic is very rare and is almost lost.
Although Klaue is not young, he has been staying in this snowy place for a long time and has little knowledge and is not familiar with word magic.
"Did you just use healing magic?" Claude decided to trick the human in front of him. "You can actually use this kind of almost lost magic, you are really amazing!"
“Of course it’s amazing!” Although he didn’t know why the girl suddenly spoke to him, Kira still responded, “But it’s not healing magic!”
Very good! Gather your magic now!
Realizing that he might not be able to win head-on, Claue immediately used a distraction tactic, stalling time while talking while secretly casting magic in an attempt to take down Kira in one fell swoop.
Behind Kira, countless cloud balls, large seas of clouds, and thick cloud ropes slowly took shape. Since Lucy was still in the pit taking care of the injured Natsu and Happy, no one reminded him of all this. Kira also seemed to have noticed nothing and continued talking to Claude in a disjointed manner.
"It's not healing magic? What is it? It's clearly healing that person's injuries!"
Claude looked like a curious baby, which was very consistent with her not-so-bright appearance. If Kira hadn't known that all this was acted out, he would have almost believed it.
Why would Kira know this? Did he really think he couldn't sense the movement of the clouds behind him?
I saw through this poor acting a long time ago!
This is the first time I've seen someone dare to act so brazenly in front of me! Girl, you are very brave!
Kira also secretly cast magic and prepared for battle, his face expressionless: "We are enemies, how can I tell you my magic?"
"However, I am actually curious about you. Why are there demons in a place like this? And why did you attack Natsu and the others?"
"Of course we have our own reasons for existing! Besides, they were the ones who attacked first just now!"
"Oh, really? I'm really sorry!" Although he said that, Kira didn't look apologetic at all. "Can you please introduce your magic?"
"It's just cloud magic, nothing special! You look much stronger than that boy, are you the sign of the magic guild?"
The man and the demon talked about boring topics for two minutes, all asking questions without answering them. The result was that after trying a long time, they didn't get any useful information.
Realizing that the magic was almost ready, the two of them stopped chatting at the same time, and then a surge of magic power burst out at the same time.
"The cloud ball shines!"
Claude attacked first, and countless cloud balls attacked Kira from all directions, which was exactly the same move she had just used against Natsu!
