Chapter 77: Kira vs. Ace
"Uh...what did you say?!" Winter was speechless and shouted with his fists clenched, "You are the strongest among you! How can you say you are afraid of death!"
I love to hear that, especially the words “the strongest”!
"Who said I can't be afraid of death because I'm the strongest?"
Kira said as he walked towards the passage on the far right. It was pitch black inside. Fortunately, although he could not use fire like Natsu, he carried the magic crystal for lighting. He looked back and saw that Winter was following him.
"The more you have, the more you fear losing it; similarly, the stronger a person is, the more afraid he is of death." Kira said nonsense that he copied from somewhere, "Fear is a normal emotion for people, and it is not shameful to be afraid of death."
“The truly powerful people are those who have the courage to face their fears. To face fear is to face one’s own weaknesses; to overcome fear is to overcome one’s own weaknesses. Only in this way can one continue to improve and become stronger!”
This seems to be what the president or Gildarts said before? Although Kira couldn't describe their flavor, lacking the kind of impact that hits the heart directly, but the meaning is enough .
"If you are not afraid of anything like you, you will die earlier than anyone else!"
Winter seemed to understand: "Facing your fear?"
Feeling that his emotions were almost there, Kira asked again: "Now tell me, are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid!" Winter answered decisively.
Hey, hey... girl, it's hard for me to respond to you like this...
After two seconds of silence, Kira spoke again: "Ahem... Not bad, it seems that you have already faced your fear and conquered it. You are a teachable kid!"
"Really?" Winter squinted his eyes and tilted his head, looking at Kira in confusion, until Kira suspected that there was something on his face, then he suddenly realized, "What you just said... weren't they... very handsome words?"
If you ask me this, doesn't it mean that I'm not handsome at all when I say it? This little girl has no emotional intelligence at all! Humph!
Forget it, she is still just a child, and she grew up in the mountains, so it is normal that she doesn’t understand...
Kira took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile: "No... It's not a cool word. I'm a magic teacher at the orphanage in the town. I occasionally go to teach those children. Those are just the copywriting in the ordinary textbooks."
"Aren't you a wizard? You're also a part-time teacher? Are these words your original creation?"
"No, it was some uncle who said it at first, and then a handsome teacher wrote it in a book."
…
At the end of the passage was a large ice room, the entire room was covered with frost, and the cold was bone-chilling. Even Winter, a girl who had lived in the snow-capped mountains since she was a child and had a high resistance to the cold, felt a little cold.
"It's really cold out here!"
Kira pressed his hands on his body and rubbed them up and down quickly through his expensive clothes, trying to generate some heat to keep out the cold. He didn't behave like an S-class wizard at all.
In comparison, Winter was much more stable. Although he was shaking a little, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Is this the lair of those demons?"
"Maybe..."
Kira walked into the ice room and looked around, but saw no one else there, only a giant ice sculpture.
His eyes were fierce, his muscles were bulging, his veins were bulging, his fangs and claws were fully exposed, big, ugly, ferocious, and evil, a series of derogatory words flashed through Kira's mind.
This is the Sea Devil they want to resurrect. Although he is a little bigger, his aura looks similar to Deliora on Garna Island!
No, you can't think like that. Deliora has only been sealed for 10 years . The Sea Devil in front of him has been sealed in absolute freezing for dozens of times longer than Deliora, not to mention that he was sealed by the Ice God for hundreds of years before that...
The difference in strength between the two is huge! Compared with the evil demon king in front of him, Deliora's magic power is just like a firefly.
They explored the ice room one after another, and the ice under their feet made a "cracking" sound under gravity.
Aren't there people in every passage? Is Natsu's nose not working? Or...
An inexplicable sense of crisis surged into my heart...
"careful!"
Without time to think about it, Kira retreated quickly as if he had the ability to foresee the future, and at the same time, he picked up Winter in his hand.
Click, click, click!
A series of ice spikes rose up, like Gray's ice spring, filling the entire floor of the ice room.
"I knew it! Do all of you guys have the same attack method?" Kira began to taunt, "You don't dare to fight head-on and make a sneak attack? This is not good!"
On the ice surface, the ice blocks protruded and slowly formed the shape of a middle-aged uncle. Judging from his appearance alone, he was a demon with full magic points but no strength and stamina points. He was the same type as Kira.
Kira looked at the opponent in front of him warily. He looked about the same age as Gildarts, but he was a demon after all. Kira guessed that his age might be about the same as the second generation.
"I'm Kira, and you're the boss of these demons?"
"My name is Ace. Are you the wizard from Fairy Tail? You're the one who defeated Klaue?"
Ace, this name doesn't sound like someone who uses ice, but rather like someone who uses fire or light.
"It's true that I defeated her! So what? Do you want to avenge her?" Kira challenged again.
Perhaps it was this attitude that made him ask for a beating that worked. The Ice Demon Ace raised his aura higher and higher, and terrifying pressure followed. Winter was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats and almost fell to his knees.
At this moment, she began to understand what Kira had just said, about facing fear and overcoming it.
At this moment, Kira was glad that he was facing him. Such magic power was already half as strong as Gildarts. If the other three had met him, they would not be able to beat him without cheating, and it would take the three of them to attack together to have a draw.
Knowing that the enemy was difficult to deal with, Kira gathered all the magic power in his hands, activated the Word Magic to its maximum, took a step forward, and blocked Winter behind him.
How to fight? The opponent in front of him is an ice demon, who has high magic power and can also transform into elements, almost equivalent to a navy admiral. Think about it, when has Aokiji next door ever been defeated? Fighting with a magma monster for ten days and ten nights?
No, the lava here is not very lethal. Even the weak uncle from the Kingdom Knights can take a bath in it. We definitely can't beat this guy with lava alone.
So what should I use? Gravity magic? Rock magic?
These two are the ones I am most familiar with and the ones I use most often, but they have no effect on ice. Even if earth overcomes water, it is not used in this way. So can I only use fire?
But if you use fire, it is just mutual restraint. After liquefying into water, the opponent still has the upper hand. Moreover, the opponent also has environmental bonuses and occupies the geographical advantage, which is too unfriendly to you.
For a moment, Kira's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to defeat the enemy. The mutual restraint between elements might not have enough effect, so he could only use rule-based magic.
When it comes to this kind of magic, Kira's first reaction is the Arc of Time. On Karna Island, Ultear used this to directly defeat Gray.
Although I cannot achieve the level of the Arc of Time, I still know simple time magic. I can use the aging magic first, and then cast the acceleration magic on it. Maybe I can achieve a similar effect.
"Ice Cannon!" "Ice Spear!" "Ice Falcon!" "Ice Monster!"
The opponent cast four consecutive ice magic spells. It’s not a shape, it’s better than the shape!
Whether it is the casting speed or the stability of the shape, it is much stronger than Gray and Leon.
He is worthy of being a demon who has lived for a hundred years. Judging from this move alone, this guy's attainments in ice magic are so great that Gray can't even catch up with him.
But Kira is not a pushover either, he attacks directly with fire!
" Burn !" "Oxygen!" "Oil!" "Dry!"
The same four magic spells are returned!
With the blessing of magic power, Word Magic has an effect that surpasses ordinary magic, and more importantly, they can cooperate with each other!
The blazing flames rose, and with the help of large amounts of oxygen and oil, the oncoming ice melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, drying magic was used to extract moisture, build favorable terrain, and seize the advantage!
