Chapter 71: Rumors of the Isisnew Clan
Forget-Your-Sorrow Tavern.
"What?! Ice Demon-Exterminating Technique?!"
After listening to Natsu and the tavern uncle Poole's stories, Kira understood the situation here.
Since we're talking about the Ice Demon-Exterminating Technique, then wasn't the person who was taken away a few years ago in the story Silver?
It should be silver...
In the Dark Magic Guild Alliance established this year, there are nine strongest people in the Hades Gate of the Balam Alliance, collectively known as the "Nine Ghost Gates". Silver is one of them. At the same time, he is also Gray's father, Silver Fulpasta.
According to Kira's memory of the original work, Gin was killed by Deliora ten years ago, after which his body was resurrected by Keith, a necromancer who was also a member of the Nine Demon Gates, and continued to be active until the battle between Fairy Tail and Hades Gate, which lasted for seventeen years.
According to the description in the original work, he learned the ice demon-killing method during this period of time, and was therefore appreciated by the president of the Gate of the Underworld, Maldo Gil, and became one of the Nine Ghost Gates. In the end, he disappeared because Keith was defeated.
In Kira's opinion, Silver's appearance was to give Gray a chance to inherit the Ice Demon-Destroying Technique.
The original work did not explain who created this magic, nor did it explain where and how Yin learned it. It just mentioned it in passing. Now it seems that it was actually "robbed" here?
It should be a patch made by the world...
Yes , this task never appeared in the original work, so it is normal to patch it.
"Yes, the Ice Demon-Destroying Technique, what's wrong?" Seeing Kira's abnormal reaction, Poole asked puzzledly.
"Nothing, just a little surprised." Kira explained casually.
Natsu smiled happily, "Yeah, yeah. I was surprised at first too! I didn't expect there would be a demon-killing method specifically for demons. When I first heard about it, I thought it was magic taught by demons!"
Seeing Kira looking down in thought, Lucy asked, "What's wrong with this magic?"
Kira shook his head, "Nothing, just a little weird."
Afterwards, he explained to them the information he had found about the legend of the Black and White Goddess: "I originally thought that even if there was a legacy, it should have been the Ice God-killing Magic. I didn't expect it to be the Ice Demon-killing Magic. It's really strange!"
"It's a little strange what you said." Compared to Natsu, Lucy's brain was obviously much more flexible. After listening to Kira's story, she began to analyze with her chin in her hand, "There is a sense of disconnection! The Black and White Angels and the God-killing Magic, the Demons and the Demon-killing Magic, I always feel that there should be some connection between the two, and it is because of this connection that such changes have occurred..."
Happy was also thinking with his six-year-old intelligence: "But what will the change be?"
Suddenly, Lucy seemed to have thought of something, and she slapped the table and exclaimed, "Could it be related to the man in the story?"
"It's very likely!" Kira confirmed Lucy's idea, "I thought so too, but unfortunately I can't find any information about this man so far. I even doubt whether he really exists!"
"Maybe... this person really exists!" At this time, the uncle in the tavern spoke up.
Could it be that this uncle knew something? Sure enough, the NPC for this kind of mission would not reveal all the information until the plot had progressed to a certain point. He hated this the most when playing games before!
Kira asked aloud, "Uncle, do you know anything?"
"This has to start with the rumors in our tribe..." Poole poured himself a glass of strong liquor, took a sip and said, "You have just learned that our Isisnu tribe has always regarded itself as the descendants of gods and has taken serving gods as its creed. This god refers to the God of Ice and Snow. In the tribe, there was once such a legend..."
Then, Poole slowly told the legend of the tribe that he had heard when he was a child:
In the era when dragons and humans had not yet fully awakened, and when gods and demons were at loggerheads, the ancestor of the Ashisnu clan, who was called a god, was instigated by demons to kill his own brothers. He finally understood everything before he died. So the ancestor transformed his power into magic specifically targeting demons , that is, the demon-killing method.
"There are many legends handed down in the tribe, but after verification, it is found that most of them were added by later generations. Of course, there are also some that cannot be verified because they are too old. This is just one of them."
Poole said, "If you hadn't just told me that the story of the Black and White Goddess is somewhat similar to this legend, I would have almost forgotten it!"
Kira said with interest: "Most of the legends in this world are so old that they cannot be verified, but at least three-tenths of them are true! The story of the Black and White Goddess reminds you of this legend that you almost forgot. Maybe it's not a coincidence!"
"Hahaha, really?" Poole laughed heartily. "You're still a teenager, but you actually believe in fate?"
"Believe it a little bit!" Kira was also infected by this atmosphere and smiled. "If we combine all the information, stories and legends, and add some bold guesses, maybe we can piece together a complete story!"
"A woman who is a wizard , known as the Black Goddess, and another woman who is a descendant of the Ice God, known as the White Goddess. The two sisters were raised by hostile forces since birth.
The two forces were instigated by the devil and were involved in a struggle. The two sisters, unaware of the situation, had a decisive battle at Mount Zonia. However, during the battle, they realized their relationship with each other because of the blood connection between them. After the victory of the White Goddess, this place turned into a snowy mountain.
Later, both parties were killed by the devil's scheme. Before they died, they transformed the God-killing Magic, Ice Magic, and Demon Factor into the Ice Demon-killing Magic through some means, and passed it down from generation to generation."
Kira spoke his invented story seriously, and became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was quite proud of his writing ability: "Ah! It's really an ethical script suitable for all ages! It will definitely be very popular if it is performed as a drama!"
"Hahaha, it's a good story indeed!" Poole didn't seem to be disgusted by Kira's 'fabrication'. Instead, he was full of interest. "According to what you said, we have found the reason why our clan has been fighting the devil for thousands of years. Hahaha... It's very possible indeed!"
"Speaking of demons, is this guy the enemy of your clan?"
As he spoke, Kira looked at Klaue in the corner. She had been released from the stone prison by Kira, but was handcuffed with the torture instruments he made specifically for tying up prisoners. The handcuffs, leg cuffs, blindfold, mask and collar were made of magic-sealing stone. With them, she could not even speak, let alone use magic power.
At this time, Claue was blind and unable to move. She could only listen to the conversations around her and make whimpering sounds while struggling. Natsu, Lucy and Happy who was eating grilled fish were responsible for guarding her, while quietly listening to the conversation between Kira and the uncle in the tavern.
"In fact, I have never seen them. In order to protect the rest of the tribe, only those who inherited the magic knew what they looked like. After my brother died, perhaps only the man who took the magic away at that time had seen them."
"Demons...?"
Sure enough, this demon has companions!
Without hearing Kira's mumbling, Poole continued to answer, "It's just that I heard from the elders in the tribe that demons are ineffective against physical attacks. According to what you said, this demon can transform into a cloud and is immune to physical attacks, so it must be them. I didn't expect that you could actually defeat the demon without any demon-killing method!"
"It's not us, it's me!" Kira emphasized this point subtly, and then put on an apologetic look, "Ahem... This S-class mission should have been completed by the S-class wizard of the guild. Natsu took the mission privately, which caused you trouble. I'm really sorry!"
"Not only did he privately accept a mission beyond his ability, but he also failed to defeat the target of the crusade and even injured his companions... I have already scolded him, and the guild will punish him accordingly when I return. Please forgive him for the trouble he caused you! As for this mission, I will take over!"
