Chapter 69: The Magic Fluctuation Noticed
Natsu knew that Kira didn't care at all about accepting S-level missions privately. He said this mainly to reprimand himself for his lack of strength and almost causing injuries to his companions.
Kira really cares about his companions!
This time he was indeed wrong, he thought he could fight, but ended up being careless, and did not dodge when facing the enemy's large-scale attack, causing himself and the harpy to be seriously injured.
But Natsu is not someone who will never admit his mistakes. If he is wrong, he will just admit it and go back to practice hard to become stronger. It is enough to prevent this kind of situation from happening again.
Thinking of this, Natsu felt much better, and at the same time he was looking forward to the special training that Kira mentioned: "Okay, Kira, fight with me when we get back!"
"Haha, don't worry!" Seeing that Natsu no longer blamed himself for Happy's injury, Kira chuckled, "You'll have a fight when we get back."
According to the time calculation in the original work, if I remember correctly, we might have to fight with the Phantom Flame after we go back.
"Lucy should come along then!"
"Huh? Me?" Lucy was a little surprised that she was called again.
"Although this injury is mainly caused by Natsu, as a companion, you were unable to help in the battle, which is a disgrace to Fairy Tail!" Kira made up an excuse.
"Since you are a team, of course you have to receive special training together! And..." Kira approached Lucy with a gloomy face, "You don't think you won't be punished for participating in an S-rank mission?!"
"Um...well...haha..." Lucy smiled awkwardly and looked away unconsciously.
"Be kicked out of the guild, or accept my devilish training. You can choose one!"
What to choose? Is there any need to choose?
"I understand. It's just special training!"
"Ohhhh!! Devilish training? It sounds interesting! I'm excited!!!" Natsu yelled.
Seeing Natsu's inexplicable excitement, Lucy sighed helplessly.
Then, she walked up to Klaue who was sealed in stone and looked at him curiously: "What a powerful stone magic. Not only can it deal with elemental enemies, but it can also seal them. I have never heard of such magic."
"Is this the demon?" Natsu also came over and knocked on the stone prison. "Kira's magic is so strange, it's not surprising that he can do this."
"That's right!" said the harpy. "Sealing magic, like healing magic, is a long-lost magic!"
"Healing magic? That's right! He used this kind of magic to heal your injuries just now!" Lucy realized later, "From this point of view, Word Magic is like a collection of many kinds of magic!"
"It can create things, add status effects, heal , and seal..." Lucy counted the magic spells Kira had used one by one.
Kira also came over and said after hearing this: "That's about right! Word magic is magic that uses the true names of all things. Of course, all things here also include magic, because each magic also has its own true name, so using word magic is equivalent to being able to use all kinds of magic."
"Of course, this kind of magic has very demanding requirements for the user. So far, I have not seen any other user! In terms of the comprehensiveness of magic, as far as I know, perhaps only the copy magic can compete with my word magic."
Lucy asked curiously: "Copy magic? What kind of magic is that?"
Kira replied: "It is a magic that can instantly copy and is immune to any magic!"
"What? Can you copy any magic? Can my dragon-slaying magic be copied, too?"
"Probably..." To be honest, Kira wasn't sure about this.
"But the more powerful the magic, the more , and the more obvious its weaknesses. Copy magic cannot copy the magic of the owner! Take Star Magic for example, summoning Stars requires a Star Key, and there are no two identical Star Keys in the world!"
After Kira said this, Lucy understood: "Even if I can't copy the magic I own, just being able to use all the magic of the ability system is very powerful!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, Lucy suddenly thought of something and asked, "You said that the more powerful the magic, the greater the flaw. What is the flaw of Word Magic?"
"Well..." Kira paused and replied, "Didn't I just say that Word Spirit Magic has very strict requirements on the user. It requires a huge amount of magic power as a drive, as well as extensive magical knowledge and experience. All three are indispensable."
In fact, there is another point besides this . Since it is a word magic that uses the real name, of course the name of the magic needs to be said. However, Kira will not tell this to anyone because this flaw is really too big. If the enemy finds out about it in the future and takes targeted measures, it will be disastrous.
Anyway, in the magic world, shouting out the names of moves during a fight is very common, so they didn't think about it in that way, at most they thought Kira was just showing off. In fact, it wasn't that he was showing off, but he had to do it!
Moreover, in order to cover up this weakness, he also specially learned a lot of other magics, so when fighting, there were combinations of "calling out real names or not, casting word magic or ordinary magic", which were real and fake, and he had mastered the essence of the art of war.
While Kira was thinking, Natsu turned the topic back to the mission: "What should we do now? This should be the devil that the uncle in the tavern mentioned. Have we completed the mission?"
Lucy was a little worried about the stone prison in front of her: "What about this girl... this demon?"
Habib suggested: "Why don't we take it back and ask the uncle in the bar."
The conversation brought Kira's attention back , and he frowned and said, "I remember your mission was just to repel monsters, but you ended up facing a demon. It seems your client is not a simple person!"
"The uncle in the tavern said he was a descendant of some tribe of Ai."
"Natsu, it's the Isisnyu tribe!" Happy reminded.
"Ah, that's it! They say they are a clan that serves the gods!"
Serving the gods? This is connected to the previous speculation.
"Okay, let's go meet this tavern uncle!" Kira clapped his hands and made a decision. "By the way, I have some questions to ask this uncle."
"What about this demon?"
"Take it with you. Just treat it as a report on the mission completed. We can't just leave it here."
Kira waved his hand and took out his prop again: "Snow Magic Car".
A vehicle designed specifically for use on snow. It looks like a magic four-wheeler without wheels, and a bit like a sled, except that the power source is changed from elk to something like a car engine.
This thing is of course a product of Kira, and magic crystal and balance magic are also indispensable.
"Let's go!" Kira controlled the stone prison to move to the car, and then sat comfortably on the seat covered with a mink blanket. "Lead the way! On the way, tell me about the tavern uncle of the Isisnu tribe."
…
A battlefield of ice and snow, with sharp swords, wolf corpses, ice sculptures, and snow everywhere.
The two unique colors of red and white each have their own beauty, but no one has time to appreciate the painting at this time.
"It looks like the enemy has left."
After waiting cautiously for a long time and finding that the enemies in the snow did not continue to attack, Erza spoke. The sword in her hand was stained with the blood of the wolves and was full of murderous aura. She looked like an invincible female general on the battlefield.
Gray walked over, his clothes having been taken off during the fight, revealing his strong muscles.
He panted heavily, and when he found that there was indeed no movement, he picked up his coat from the ground and put it on again: "Suddenly attacking, and then suddenly leaving, what a strange enemy!"
"It's not that I have no clue," Erza said, "From what she just said, it seems that she has been occupying this place for a while, and her cold magic..."
"It's a demon!" Gray said with certainty, "There's no doubt about it! That dark and gloomy feeling is the unique magic of the demon! The woman who can control the snow is a demon!"
"Demons? I don't know what their purpose is in staying here..."
"Them?" Gray looked at the fallen wolves around him and thought that Erza was talking about these snow wolves.
Feeling Gray's gaze and the confusion in it, Erza explained: "It's not these wolves. She has other companions, who should also be demons."
"How do you know she has other companions?"
"She was going to chase us away. Something must have happened to her for leaving so suddenly." Erza put away her sword and put on her ordinary armor again, while explaining to Gray, "It's a pity that an accident would happen in a place where almost no one has ever set foot. It's likely that her companions are in trouble."
"In trouble, you mean Kira or Rocky and the others?"
"It could also be Natsu who arrived earlier." Erza turned and walked in another direction, "Let's go too!"
Gray quickly followed: "Wait, this is not the direction we were heading! Where are we going?"
Erza said, "Although it was very subtle, there was indeed a fluctuation of magic power coming from this direction just now. She left after that, so I guess there was a battle there. No matter who caused it, it's best to go and take a look."
"Is it a fluctuation of magic power?" Gray thought, "I didn't feel anything just now! Was I too busy dealing with the enemy to notice it, or was Erza's perception too strong? It should be the latter..."
