Fairy Tail: I ate the Thunder Fruit

Linley traveled through Fairy Tail, ate the Thunder Fruit, and became the user of the Thunder Fruit.

From then on, there was a new Thunder God in the Fairy Tail world.

Laxus: “There can only be one Thunder God in Fairy Tail!”

Linley: “I am the God of Thunder, and you are just a Thunder Dragon.”

God Serena: “I have the Thunder Dragon Slayer Crystal in my body, lightning has no effect on me!”

Linley: “Let me learn about the Railgun.”

If magic doesn’t work, then use maximum physical attack!

——Lin Lei.

Fairy Tail: I ate the Thunder Fruit
Chapter 1: The Boy Struck by Lightning
“Ouch… it hurts…”
Linley felt excruciating pain all over his body.
“Hey! Boy, you’re awake!”
A man’s voice sounded.
Linley slowly opened his eyes and saw a bright fire emitting warm light. Sitting next to the fire was a middle-aged man who was about forty years old.
The uncle had an orange slicked-back hair, some stubble on his chin, and was wearing a dark green cloak. He looked handsome and unruly.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Linley felt his mind go blank.
“Boy, I can only say that you are lucky. You were struck by lightning but you are still alive and well. You are really lucky!”
Struck by lightning!!
Linley was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of memories came flooding back, and he remembered.
Not long ago, I finally made it to the holiday and excitedly took the high-speed train to visit my girlfriend who lived in another city, intending to give her a surprise.
But unexpectedly, the surprise came instead of the shock.
My girlfriend cheated on me!
He originally thought that this was something that only happened in TV dramas, but now it happened to him, which made him extremely painful.
I immediately rushed up to question him, but what I got in return was a barrage of insults and insults and a word of breakup.
Dispirited, he walked aimlessly in the heavy rain.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and he passed out.
But where is this place? Will my body be left in the wilderness?
“Uncle, where is this place?”
“Here? You came here without knowing where this is? You are really lucky! This is the Monster Forest where monsters are rampant.”
“Warcraft Forest? Uncle, stop joking.”
Warcraft? I’m not playing World of Warcraft. Where in the world is there Warcraft?
Almost as soon as Lin Lei finished speaking.
“roar—-!”
A roar was heard, and a boar-like creature about seven or eight meters tall suddenly emerged from the woods nearby.
Linley was terrified when he saw it: “A… a monster!”
The uncle was not frightened at all when he saw it. Instead, his eyes lit up: “Oh? Dinner just came to my doorstep.”
Boom boom boom!
The wild boar pawed the ground with its front hooves.
“roar—-!!”
Then he roared and ran towards this side.
Click, click!
The big trees it encountered were easily crushed like tofu.
Linley instinctively wanted to run away, but his body was struck by lightning, and not only was his entire body in pain, but he was also somewhat numb, and he couldn’t even stand up.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of him. It was the handsome uncle.
“Uncle, run!!”
Lin Lei was thinking that he couldn’t move and couldn’t implicate others.
The old man stood still, raising his hand and aiming at the wild boar.
“Smash!”
The uncle drank softly.
“————”
Linley seemed to see a ball of white net-like substance shooting out from the uncle’s hand and sweeping past the huge wild boar.
The big wild boar also stood still after being swept by the white mesh substance.
BANG!!!
The huge wild boar’s body exploded all of a sudden, and was divided into cubes of even size.
Lin Lei was stunned. What is this?!
Superpowers?! Magic?! Spells?!
“Uncle…Uncle…what did you just do?!”
“Hmm? What else could it be? Of course it’s magic!”
The uncle had a look of surprise on his face.
“Magic?! What is magic?”
“Magic is magic! What is magic? Boy, you are lucky. This Bristleback is a top-grade delicacy. I will roast it and it will be ready for you to eat soon.”
The uncle said as he walked to a tree and placed his palm on it.
“————!”
The tree broke and a large skewer appeared in the uncle’s hand. He skewered large pieces of tender meat and grilled them over the fire.
Then the uncle took out a handful of skewers of even thickness and picked up a piece of tender meat.
The meat in your hand is cut into small pieces of uniform size, which are then skewered and grilled.
Linley stared at everything in front of him in amazement. He even pinched himself secretly to make sure he was not dreaming.
magic!
It’s really magic, not magic.
Magic really does exist in this world!
Sizzle!
As the meat pieces are grilled over the fire, they emit a rich meaty aroma.
“Coo-coo-coo!”
Lin Lei looked at the meat in front of him and his stomach growled. He hadn’t eaten before going to see his girlfriend, so he planned to take her out for a good meal.
Later, I saw that my girlfriend had an affair and I didn’t know how much time had passed since she was struck by lightning. I was already very hungry.
The uncle heard Lin Lei’s stomach growling, smiled and said, “You must be hungry, but we’ll have to wait a little longer before the food is ready. If you’re hungry, you can eat the fruit you brought with you first.”
Lin Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard the uncle’s words, then he looked down and saw the plastic bag next to him.
I saw my girlfriend’s favorite fruit, pineapple, on the road, so I bought one and planned to eat it together when we got home. Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect it.
Forget it! I can’t think about those things now!
Lin Lei took out the pineapple and found that it looked a little strange. Not only did it have some mysterious lines on it, but it also looked like it had been struck by lightning.
“Did you get electrocuted too?”
He was so hungry that he didn’t think too much and just started eating with big mouthfuls, finishing it all in no time.
“It’s so nasty!”
It was the first time he had eaten such a disgusting pineapple. Was it spoiled by lightning?
Sudden!
Linley seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
Crack! !
An arc of electricity emanated from his body.
Then, more and more lightning emanated from his body.
Gildarts couldn’t help but glare at this scene:
“This is… the source of magic has awakened!!”

Linley could feel his body constantly being transformed.
There was also an additional piece of information in my mind.
Thunder fruit.
What I just ate was the Thunder Fruit? !
What is the Thunder Fruit? It is a devil fruit in the One Piece manga, and it is also the strongest type of natural devil fruit.
In the One Piece comics, the user is Enelu.
After eating it, the body constitution turns into lightning, which can make physical attacks, most energy attacks and non-domineering attacks ineffective against oneself.
It can release high-voltage electric current to attack at will, and can also use the power of the fruit to teleport.
It possesses terrifying destructive power, as well as the speed and power of lightning.
Nico Robin said that this is one of the “invincible” abilities among the many devil fruit abilities.
To be honest, this devil fruit is the most difficult devil fruit for One Piece fans.
The ability of this devil fruit is top-notch even among the natural types. It is no worse than the devil fruits of the three admirals of the navy, and is even better in some aspects.
But because of the plot, he was killed off early. When watching the anime, Lin Lei thought that if he had eaten the Thunder Fruit and joined the navy, he would definitely be an admiral of the marine headquarters, and as a pirate he would definitely be one of the Four Emperors of the New World. Otherwise, he would be unworthy of this devil fruit.
It’s such a waste of resources to be eaten by Enel.
Now I actually ate the thunder fruit.
Although he had no idea what was going on, Linley was extremely excited at the moment.
Thunder fruit!
This is the Thunder Fruit!
It was incredible that I had transformed from an ordinary person into a user of the natural devil fruit, the Thunder Fruit.
“Boy, has your magic source awakened?!”
At this time, the uncle’s voice sounded.
“The source of magic?” Linley looked a little puzzled.
“It is the source of magic. It can provide magic power. Only when you have magic power can you use magic.”
“is that so?”
Linley understood a little bit. It was just like in the novel. Using magic required magic power, and the magic source was the source of magic power. However, this was not magic for him, but the Thunder Fruit. But there was no need to explain it.
“Boy, I saw lightning appear on your body just now. Your magic attribute should be lightning. Can you release lightning?”
“Okay! I’ll try!”
Linley nodded. Having just eaten the Thunder Fruit, he felt that his body was filled with powerful energy, and he also wanted to try out his own strength.
Linley pointed his palm towards the tree in front of him.
Crackling!
Blue-white lightning gathered at the palms and wrists.
“drink!”
Linley shouted.
Snap————!!
A dazzling light shone, and a huge pillar of lightning was released from Linley’s palm.
boom—–!!
The lightning column landed on a distant hill.
Suddenly there was a horrific explosion.
“What?!!”
Gildarts was terrified. He saw that all the trees were destroyed and pierced by the lightning column, leaving behind charred marks.
A huge hole was also pierced through the hill in the distance.
Seeing that Lin Lei had awakened a lightning magic source, he thought that it would be good enough for Lin Lei to release a lightning bolt as thick as a thumb, but he never expected that he would actually release a lightning pillar.
Not only Gildarts was frightened, Linley himself was the same, looking at the horrific destructive power he had caused.
He clenched his fists excitedly. Strong! Too strong! It really deserves to be the strongest natural thunder fruit.
“A…natural born spellcaster?!”
Gildarts also realized at this time that this young man was actually a natural spellcaster. After awakening, he could control the elemental magic that he controlled without the need for systematic magic learning. This kind of magician is called a natural spellcaster.
This kind of wizard is extremely rare even in the entire magical world, and now I actually met one.
Seeing that this guy is still a newbie, it is fate that I meet him. Such a good seedling must not be missed.
“What’s your name, kid?”
“My name is Lin Lei.”
“Lin Lei, do you want to join the guild? There you can learn magic systematically.”
“guild?”
Linley was somewhat puzzled.
“A guild is an organization that gathers many wizards and acts as an intermediary to provide work and information for the wizards. Wizards can get paid for completing their work.”
“There’s actually a place like this?”
Linley was very surprised, but today he had even seen magic and eaten a devil fruit, and even more bizarre things had happened, let alone a guild.
“Okay, I’ll join!”
Since you have eaten the Thunder Fruit, there is nothing to be afraid of.
“Okay, okay! Then I’ll introduce my guild. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gildarts Clevie, and the name of the wizard guild I belong to is ‘Fairy Tail’. There are many cute girls in my guild.”
“Wait…wait…uncle, what’s your name?”
“My name is Gildarts Cleaver.”
“The name of the guild?”
“Fairy Tail.”
“Fairy Tail…”
When Lin Lei heard the name, he was stunned. How could he not know what Fairy Tail was? It was one of his favorite anime.
Gildarts Cleves was also a name he was familiar with. After all, he was the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild.
If you look closely at the other person’s image, isn’t he very similar to Gildarts in the anime?
The magic used by the opponent just now should be his signature magic – Crush.
After sorting out the information, Linley came to a surprising conclusion.
Have I traveled through time?
Also traveled to Fairy Tail.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 3: Become a Disciple (Old Version)
“Huh? What’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Linley in a daze, Gildarts was somewhat puzzled.
“No… nothing, my mind is just a little confused.”
Fairy Tail, such an outrageous thing as traveling through time actually happened to me.
“Haha! It’s because you’re not used to the magic source just awakening! You will get used to it soon. Come on, eat the meat first. I’ll tell you about our guild.”
Gildarts pulled Linley to sit down, and while eating, he began to talk about the people and events of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Many familiar names came out of Gildarts’ mouth, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Mira, Laxus…
As Gildarts continued to talk, Linley gradually adjusted to the situation.
Since he has already traveled through time, he might as well make the best of it. Fairy Tail itself is one of his favorite anime.
I once dreamed of traveling through Fairy Tail, and now my dream has come true.
Moreover, he was alone in the previous world, and after his girlfriend betrayed him, he had no worries, so it was a good thing for him to travel to this world.
After thinking this through, Linley began to feel better.
Also started chatting with Gildarts.
The two people got along very well and quickly became familiar with each other while eating, drinking and chatting.
“Uncle, can you be my master?”
“Master? I don’t know lightning magic, and your magic is already very powerful. You are indeed a natural spellcaster. You don’t need a master at all, right?”
Gildarts said this while taking a look at the damage Linley had caused. Even if he wanted to cause this level of damage, it would take a lot of effort.
For other wizards, even if they practice for a lifetime, they may not be able to cast such powerful magic.
And this kid can release such terrifyingly powerful magic just after his magic source awakened. Even he, the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail, feels a little jealous.
“It’s not about magic, it’s about training and fighting. I know almost nothing about how to train and fight, so even if the magic is powerful, it’s useless if I can’t use it.”
Since he has traveled to Fairy Tail, he naturally has to work hard to become stronger. Although the Thunder Fruit is very powerful, there are powerful monsters everywhere in this world.
Devil’s Heart, Hades’ Gate, Twelve Holy Shields, Black Magician Zeref, Five Divine Dragons, Black Dragon Acnologia.
This uncle in front of you is also a monster with incredible strength.
Although Uncle Gildarts performed poorly in some battles, it mainly depends on who the opponent is.
The uncle’s arms and legs were broken and he was seriously injured when he first appeared. That was because his opponent was the black dragon Acnologia, who stood at the top of this world.
The only one who could survive Acnologia’s hands by his own ability was Uncle Gildarts.
For example, Serena, the number one wizard in Ishgar who was revered as a god, was killed instantly by Acnologia in human form.
Brunoth, who appeared right after him, was also very powerful. The most important reason was that the Sirius Tree collapsed and Gildarts’ magic power was drained, so he was in such a mess.
As for the Magic King Augustus, he can be said to be the wizard who truly stands at the pinnacle of humanity.
Gildarts’s disadvantage is that human magic is almost ineffective against dragons, so he seems a bit weak in some games.
“Well… you are right to think so, but you don’t need to become my disciple. I will teach you whatever you want to learn.”
When he was in the guild, he often taught those kids how to fight. This kid was to his liking and had unlimited potential. If he was taught well, he would definitely be the backbone of the guild in the future.
Linley immediately bowed and said, “Thank you, Teacher Gildarts!”
“You kid!”
Gildarts smiled when he heard that. He didn’t mind taking in an apprentice, but his personality was such that he couldn’t stay in one place, so he didn’t have much time to teach.
He had just completed the mission and happened to be returning to the guild, so it would be okay for him to teach him on the way.
“Lin Lei, I’ve made it clear, my training is extremely rigorous, if you can’t hold on…”
“I will definitely be able to hold on.”
Linley said with a determined look.
This world is not like my original world. The original world faced the pressure of life, while this world is about survival.
As someone who knows the subsequent plot, he knows how many undercurrents are surging beneath this seemingly peaceful world. If one is not careful, the entire human race may be wiped out.
As for leaving it to the protagonists to save the world, he lived happily in the rear.
Sorry, he doesn’t believe that everything will develop according to the plot.
The future is not constant, and every choice may lead to different changes in the future.
The plot of the Great Magic Fighting Encounter fully demonstrates this point. Who can guarantee that the story line he is in now is not the one that will be destroyed by Acnologia in the future?
The most important thing is that since he has traveled to this world and eaten the Thunder Fruit, how can he leave his fate entirely to others?
“good!”
Gildarts saw that Linley’s determined look was not fake, so he would naturally teach this young man who was eager to become stronger seriously.
Chapter 4: Practice (Old Version)
The next morning, Gildarts began training Linley, starting with the most basic physical training.
Lin Lei found that he was completely different now. His body, which had lacked exercise due to his busy work, was now very strong.
The most obvious difference is when doing push-ups. I used to be able to do 20 in one breath, which was already pretty good. Now I can do 100 in one breath and I don’t even feel anything.
Lin Lei understood that after eating the Thunder Fruit, more than just the ability to generate lightning had changed. His genes and cells might have also changed.
You can see from One Piece that some originally normal humans have undergone tremendous changes in body shape after consuming devil fruits.
Like Whitebeard and Kaido, they are both giants who are six or seven meters tall.
The natural type is relatively normal. The three admirals of the navy, Enelu, Ace, and others are all of normal height.
“Lin Lei, you have excellent physical fitness!”
Gildarts was somewhat surprised to see how easily Linley managed to complete the basic physical training.
Although this physical training is very basic, it will still drain the physical energy of ordinary people who have not exercised much.
Linley said half-truthfully, “I didn’t expect that. Perhaps the awakening of my magic power has improved my physical condition.”
Gildarts nodded: “That should be the reason.”
“Now that you have reached the basic physical fitness standard, you can proceed to the next training.”
“What training?”
“Physical training.”
When Linley heard this, his heart was moved. This was what he desired most. Although the Thunder Fruit was very powerful, it required very high physical skills to fully utilize it.
Just look at the difference between Enelu and the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters.
As the top natural-type Devil Fruit users at the same time, the gap between the two is not small.
A truly top-notch person is the best in every aspect.
“Okay, come on.”
Gildarts hooked his finger at Linley and said.
“???”
“Teacher, shouldn’t we learn some taijutsu?”
Gildarts smiled and said, “What fixed physical skills are there? Real physical skills are always based on adaptability. Maybe there are some fixed combo techniques that can give you a certain advantage in a short battle, but if your opponent sees through it, you will be more likely to be targeted, and then you will be very passive.”
“So if you want to truly learn how to fight, you can only learn it by constantly fighting.”
Linley nodded in agreement when he heard Gildarts’ words, then assumed a fighting stance.
“Teacher, here I come!”
Linley stomped his feet and rushed towards Gildarts, punching Gildarts in the face with his right fist.
“Oh? That’s a good speed! But it’s still too naive!”
As soon as Linley rushed in front of Gildarts, he felt dizzy and when he came to his senses, his body was lying on the ground.
Gildarts said to Linley, “Get up and try again!”
Linley immediately stood up and attacked Gildarts again, but three seconds later he was lying on the ground again.
“Come again!”
Gildarts’ voice sounded again.
Linley gritted his teeth and attacked again, only to be thrown out again the next second.
Once, twice, ten times, twenty times, thirty times…
Lin Lei had no idea how many times he was thrown at, but he didn’t even hurt Gildarts.
He was in a daze, and only then did he realize how huge the gap was between him and Gildarts.
Gildarts squatted in front of Linley and said, “How do you feel, little brat?”
Linley forced a brilliant smile on his face: “It feels… great!!”
“!!!”
Kildas was a little surprised. He thought Linley would say something discouraging or even say something that indicated he had given up, but he never expected him to say that it felt great.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because Mr. Gildarts is so strong! I also know how weak I am! I also want to become as strong as Mr. Gildarts, or even stronger than Mr. Gildarts!”
“Good boy! You can still say this even after being beaten like this!”
This time, he was planning to deal a heavy blow to Linley’s pride. After all, he was able to release such powerful magic just after awakening his magic source, so it was inevitable that he would feel proud.
But I didn’t expect that this kid didn’t make a sound after being knocked down so many times. He just kept attacking me and slowly learned from the attack. Although his technique was still a little immature, he didn’t waver at all.
This reminded him of a figure.
Natsu.
That little brat Natsu is like that, always challenging himself, and even if he fails he will continue and never give up.
This kid!
The future is definitely limitless!
“Okay, that’s all for today. Tomorrow’s physical training will be twice as difficult!”
Gildarts said and went to prepare dinner.
After Linley felt that his body had rested well, he began to practice the power of his devil fruit.
Although physical skills are important, the most important thing is the power of the devil fruit. He needs to constantly develop the ability of the devil fruit until the fruit ability is awakened, so that he can truly become a top strong man.
Chapter 5 Teleport (Old Version)
Linley began to recall some of Eneel’s moves in his mind.
You can say Enel is bad, but you can’t say Enel is weak.
Eneel has developed the Thunder Fruit to a very high level, and the moves he created are extremely powerful.
Linley raised his hand upwards: “Inazuma!”
Snap————!
A dazzling blue-white ball of lightning shot out from his wrist, and as Linley swung his wrist downward, the lightning also fell towards the tree in the distance.
boom—!!
The big tree was smashed to pieces by the lightning, and a large charred hole was blasted out on the ground by the lightning.
“Hmm… this move is mainly about precise strikes from top to bottom, so cool!”
Linley clenched his fists excitedly.
Thunder and lightning are indeed a representative ability that is both handsome and powerful.
“One hundred thousand volts! Discharge!!”
Linley raised his palm and released a powerful bolt of lightning.
boom!!
Linley glanced at the traces of destruction. They were extremely powerful.
“Million volts! Discharge!!”
A thicker bolt of lightning shot out from Linley’s hand.
boom!!!
“It’s more powerful, but its speed hasn’t changed much.”
“20 million volts!! Discharge!!”
Linley increased his output, and terrifying lightning emanated from his body.
boom—-!!
A huge rock as big as a hill in the distance was shattered by lightning.
After seeing this, Gildarts couldn’t help but muttered: “This kid is really a little monster.”
For a normal lightning wizard, the power would run out after releasing lightning magic of this power a few times, but this little monster seemed to be fine.
He just saw this kid awaken his magic source a few days ago. The magic source also needs to be continuously developed. This guy has so much magic power as soon as he awakens. What will happen in the future?
Gildarts didn’t know that the power consumed by Linley when he used the Thunder Fruit was not magic power at all, but was linked to his own body energy, and what was displayed externally was physical strength.
The more powerful the moves you use, the more energy you consume.
“Huh! 20 million volts consumes a lot of energy. If I’m in full condition, 50 million volts is about my current limit.”
“To move forward, you need to continuously develop and train the ability of the Thunder Fruit, and then you can reach the level of Enelu and even surpass Enelu.”
He had just finished a day’s training and had consumed a lot of energy. He had just recovered some strength, so it was already very good that he could release 20 million volts.
He also discovered that Devil Fruit users have a big advantage over wizards.
That’s resilience.
It takes a long time for a wizard to recover after his magic power is used up, but a devil fruit user can restore his magic power to full strength after just a short rest, which gives him a huge advantage in a protracted battle.
For example, Aokiji and Akainu fought for ten days and ten nights for the position of admiral of the Marine Headquarters before the winner was decided, which shows their endurance.
And a wizard, even one with extremely powerful magic, needs to rest for a long time to recover his magic power after fighting at full strength for an hour.
“Okay, now it’s time to try that trick.”
Lightning emanated from Lin Lei’s body, and an invisible electric field spread out from him to the surroundings.
Linley’s body turned into lightning and disappeared in an instant, then reappeared in the distance in an instant.
“What?! What is this?! Teleportation?! Elementalization?!!”
Gildarts couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.
Even he could only barely see Lin Lei’s body transform into lightning. Such a fast movement speed was almost the same as teleportation.
As a powerful wizard, Gildarts knows how important speed is to a wizard.
With Lin Lei’s speed, if he couldn’t win and wanted to run away, no one would be able to catch up with him.
Gildarts has lived for more than forty years, and has always been called a monster by others, making others envy and jealous.
But today, he felt a little jealous of this little brat.
Gildarts had practiced hard for about ten years to have similar attack power to Linley, while Linley had only practiced for one day.
If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will be thrown away.
He now understands why the president always says that there are always people better than you.
“So cool!!!”
Linley was having a lot of fun at this time, his figure flashing constantly.
Teleport.
This is teleportation, which is always among the top three super powers in the minds of boys.
Although it is not a space transfer, the effect looks almost the same from the outside.
“Alright! Brat! Stop playing! Come and eat!”
Gildarts called Linley to come over for dinner.
Linley instantly appeared beside the fire and started eating the food in big mouthfuls.
“Lin Lei, do you really need a master?”
This kid’s magic power, speed, and magic attack power, his overall strength is definitely among the top three in the Fairy Tail Guild, if not the best.
“Of course! Today’s battle made me clearly realize how weak I am. I have a lot to learn from Teacher Gildarts.”
Linley said this with a serious expression on his face. He was serious, even though the powerful attack he unleashed after eating the Thunder Fruit did make him feel a little inflated.
But after fighting Gildarts today, those little swellings of his completely disappeared.
The gap in strength between myself and Uncle Gildarts is too big.
As for magic, although his Thunder Fruit is very powerful, Uncle Gildarts’s Shattering Magic is a super magic. Except for being a little weak against the giant dragon that is almost immune to magic, it can almost kill human wizards instantly.
Unless he developed the ability of the Thunder Fruit to a very high level, he didn’t think he would be able to hurt Gildarts.
If I can’t even beat Gildarts, how can I face those top-level strongmen?
“…”
Gildarts had a constipated expression.
He felt as if he was being praised, yet also as if he was being offended.
He is Gildarts, the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail guild.
You are a rookie who just awakened your magic source. Why do you keep comparing yourself with me?
However, he did have a sense of crisis at this moment. It seemed that he had been slacking off during this period. If he was surpassed by a kid who had only been practicing for a short time, he would be extremely embarrassed.
Chapter 6 No One Can Match It (Old Version)
The next morning, Linley got up early and started exercising. He felt that his body seemed to have broken through some kind of limitation because of eating the Thunder Fruit.
According to the novel, this should be called genetic lock.
The simplest and most obvious contrast.
In the original world, the fastest human running speed in the 100-meter race was 9.58 seconds.
He gave it a simple try during training, and although he didn’t time it accurately, he definitely ran under 9 seconds without using his abilities.
Don’t underestimate this difference of just one second, it represents that you have truly broken through the limits of humans in the original world.
However, this is just the beginning, and my speed will get faster and faster in the future.
And as for his own strength, he could feel that his strength was gradually getting stronger.
The Thunder Fruit is subtly changing his body.
This feeling is really fascinating.
As for the emotional pain caused by his girlfriend’s cheating, he had long forgotten about it.
Oh! Women only affect the speed of my discharge.
Soon, a new day of training began, starting with weighted running, which could both build physical fitness and shorten the distance back to the Fairy Tail Guild.
Then came the battle training again. This time, in addition to knocking Lin Lei to the ground every time, Gildarts also began to explain the moves. Lin Lei listened and learned attentively.
Through the first day’s battle, he realized that Uncle Gildarts was not only a monster in terms of mana and magic, but also in basic combat.
This feeling is like the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters in the One Piece anime.
On the one hand, the three admirals have powerful natural fruit abilities, and on the other hand, they are themselves top-notch humans.
As mentioned in the anime, characters like Akainu and Kizaru were already called monsters while they were still in the Naval Academy.
He knew clearly that he was not a genius at all, so he put in more sweat and effort to become a hard-working genius.
When Gildarts was teaching Linley, he also discovered that Linley was not very talented in combat. He was far behind Natsu and Gray, and was even more incomparable to a genius like Erza.
But he found that Lin Lei was training really hard, and his strength was improving little by little. As long as he continued to train step by step, even if the speed was a little slower, he could still catch up with or even surpass those geniuses.
Of course, although Linley’s combat talent was not high, his physical and magical talents were almost unmatched.
He felt that Lin Lei’s physical fitness was improving every day. No, it couldn’t be called improvement, it should be called evolution.
At the beginning, he felt no pain when he blocked Lin Lei’s punches and kicks, but now he felt some pain when he was hit. In addition, the increasing weight he carried on a daily basis made him call him a monster in his heart.
Not to mention his talent for magic, this kid’s magic power is simply a bottomless pit, and he is always trying to create new magic, some of which make him shudder with fear. He has never seen anyone whose talent can compare to this little monster.
Furthermore, Linley’s magic was so comprehensive that his speed, attack power, and perception were almost all maxed out.
These days, he took Lin Lei to find some monsters for actual combat. After all, real combat is the only standard to test one’s strength.
As a result, so many powerful monsters were all killed in seconds by this kid.
That’s right! It was seconds!
The boy’s body turned into lightning and swept straight through the monster’s body, and the monster was roasted directly.
He had already started thinking about how to defeat this little monster if he faced it.
Then he suddenly realized one thing. Even if he wanted to defeat this little devil, it would not be easy, and he must end the battle as soon as possible. If he delayed for too long, he might be the one to be defeated.
Defeated?
This is really a rare word. He didn’t know how long it had been since he tasted the taste of failure.
“What a monster!”
In addition to daily training, Gildarts also took Linley to do some tasks so that Linley could adapt to the work of the guild in advance.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Magnolia Town
“Phew~! We’re finally here! This is the city where the Fairy Tail Guild is located, Magnolia.”
Because of Lin Lei’s training, the journey that was supposed to take about half a month took a full month as they stopped and walked along the way.
“Is this Magnolia? We’re finally at Fairy Tail.”
We have arrived at Magnolia Town, which means we can say that we will be able to see Fairy Tail soon.
Somehow he suddenly felt a little nervous.
Just as the two of them stepped into the city.
When the pedestrians on the road saw Gildarts, they all paused, rubbed their eyes carefully, and then their faces changed drastically. They ran inside with horror on their faces, as if they had seen a monster.
Soon, human-to-human transmission occurred.
“Oh no! It’s Gildarts!”
“Gildarts is back!!”
Gildas was speechless for a moment.
Lin Lei complained: “Uncle, didn’t you say you were very popular in the city? I don’t know how many young and beautiful girls like you. Why do I see that everyone seems to treat you like a monster?”
Gildarts scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly: “Of course I’m popular, but everyone is too shy, hahahaha.”
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
A melodious bell rang.
When everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild heard the bell, they couldn’t help but show excitement on their faces.
“The way this bell rings is…!!”
Turn on lazy reading mode
Chapter 7 Challenge (Old Version)
[Magnolia changes to Gildarts mode! ][Dear citizens!! Please go to the designated location quickly!!]【Repeat it again! 】
The sound of the broadcast rang out throughout Magnolia City. Many citizens screamed and fled in all directions, causing Linley’s mouth to twitch.
Soon, boom! !
The ground began to shake, and the main street of the city began to slowly sink, forming a straight road. It looked as if the entire city was cracked apart.
“Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?!”
He recalled that he had seen Gildarts when he first appeared in the anime, but the feeling of seeing him in real life was completely different.
Gildarts also felt a little helpless. He just got confused while walking and crashed into a few houses. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss every time he came back?
“Let’s go!”
Gildarts led Linley forward, and the road was smooth and unobstructed. At the end of the road was the Fairy Tail Guild.
At this time, everyone in the Fairy Tail guild gathered at the gate.
Everyone became excited when they saw Gildarts.
“Here I come——!!”
“It seems like he brought someone back?”
Linley looked at the guild in front of him, feeling very excited: “I have really come to Fairy Tail…”
Even though he already knew that he had traveled to the Fairy Tail world, the Fairy Tail world is only a world, and what was before him was the real Fairy Tail Guild.
The feeling is completely different.
Gildarts looked at Linley and smiled, “Welcome to Fairy Tail.”
At this time, a voice sounded.
“Gildarts!!! Come and fight me aa …
Linley looked up and saw a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old with cherry red hair and a dragon scale scarf around his neck. He was standing at the entrance of the guild and shouting at Gildarts.
Linley recognized at a glance that the other person was the protagonist of the Fairy Tail anime, Natsu Dragnegle.
“Oh! Natsu! Long time no see! You’ve grown taller again!”
Suddenly, a hand pushed Natsu aside and said, “Get out of the way! I’ll be the one to challenge you! Uncle! Come and fight me! Today I will take away the title of the strongest in the guild!”
The person who was speaking had long white hair, fair skin, and a cute face, but he dressed in a rebellious manner and looked a bit fierce.
Although there were some differences from the anime, Lin Lei still recognized that the other party was the poster girl of the Fairy Tail Guild, Mirajane Strauss.
“Uncle, I also want to ask you for advice.”
A beautiful girl with long red hair and wearing armor also walked out from the crowd and spoke.
Erza!
Lin Lei immediately recognized the other person’s identity. It was his favorite female character from Fairy Tail.
Erza is obviously a little young now, but girls develop earlier and now she is a very beautiful girl.
Seeing these characters that he liked in the comics in real life, Lin Lei was suddenly excited. This was much more realistic than COSPLAY.
If he still had his cell phone, he would definitely take a photo as a souvenir.
“Get lost! Erza! I said it first!”
“So what if you speak first? The decision on who to fight with is up to the uncle.”
“Do you want to fight?”
“Fight if you want, who’s afraid of who?”
Mira and Erza were ready to take action.
Kildas suddenly felt a headache, because all the little brats in the guild wanted to defeat him and become the strongest in the guild.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t mind sparring with these little brats.
But guiding Lin Lei along the way had exhausted him greatly, and he did not want to continue serving these little masters.
Suddenly, Gildarts saw Linley, his eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
“Alright! Stop arguing. I understand how you want to challenge me, but everything has a sequence. If you want to challenge me, you must first defeat my disciple. Only after you defeat my disciple Lin Lei can you challenge me.”
Gildarts said as he placed his hands on Linley’s shoulders.
Swish————!
Everyone in the guild looked at Linley.
“disciple?!”
“Is this true? Gildarts actually accepted an apprentice?!”
“Of course it’s true. Gildarts said it himself!”…
Everyone in the guild was very surprised to hear this. Gildarts was the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail guild and a true monster. They were naturally very curious about who could have the ability to see through Gildarts’s eyes and become his disciple.
Linley was completely confused when he heard this. What was going on? He had just arrived at the Fairy Tail Guild and was he going to have to fight?
Gildarts whispered in Linley’s ear, “Linley, this is a good opportunity for a real fight. You can also let everyone in the guild see your strength.”
Lin Lei’s heart moved. What boy doesn’t want to be in the limelight? Although he had experienced a lot of actual combat in recent days, he had never encountered a truly powerful opponent.
Now that he has the opportunity to fight against the protagonists of anime, he also wants to know how his strength compares to these anime protagonists.
Linley nodded and stepped forward to look at the people in the Fairy Tail Guild and said, “Hello everyone, my name is Linley, and I am the disciple of Sensei Gildarts. If you want to challenge the Sensei, you must defeat me first.”
Chapter 8: Linley vs. Natsu (Old Version)
“Let me do it!! Let me do it!!”
Natsu was the first to raise his hand and shout. Although he was a little surprised that Gildarts actually accepted a disciple, it didn’t matter.
When Gildarts goes out, he may not come back for a month at the shortest, or a year and a half at the longest. This time he has been away for half a year, and he has long been unable to wait for a showdown with Gildarts.
As long as I defeat him, I can challenge Gildarts. This is a good opportunity.
Moreover, he, Gildarts’ disciple, also wanted very much to have a showdown with the other party.
“Natsu! Okay! Let’s start with you!”
Seeing Natsu was so enthusiastic, Gildarts agreed.
“Lin Lei, you better go easy on me later!”
Gildarts whispered in Linley’s ear. He knew how terrifying the destructive power of this boy Linley could be when he exerted his full strength.
Linley nodded. Since he was not fighting an enemy, he would naturally show mercy.
Soon, everyone in the guild dispersed, leaving the middle alone with Linley and Natsu.
“Gil’darts, I didn’t expect you would accept disciples?”
A short old man appeared next to Gildarts and said.
Gildarts said happily: “Ohh!! President!! Long time no see!!”
This short old man is none other than Makarov, the president of the Fairy Tail Guild and one of the Ten Holy Mages.
“I happened to meet him on the road. Lin Lei has great talent and we get along well, so I accepted him as my disciple and brought him back to join the guild.”
“Oh? I can actually hear you say you have good talent.”
Makarov was a little surprised. He knew how proud Gildarts was and that his magical talent was the strongest he had ever seen. He couldn’t help but feel a little curious about Linley, the boy who was praised for his talent by Gildarts.
“Hehe! Please stay tuned! You will definitely be very surprised!”
Gildarts deliberately kept the secret.
“Gildarts’s disciple vs. Natsu, who do you think will win?”
“Of course it’s Natsu! Don’t you know how powerful Natsu is?”
“But that person is Gildarts’s disciple! If he is learning Gildarts’ magic…”
“No… That’s impossible!”
…
Everyone in the guild was talking about it, and they were all very curious about what kind of magic this young man named Lin Lei could use.
If it was Gildarts’s crushing magic, it would be incredible.
“start!”
Gildarts announced the start of the duel.
“Here I come!”
Natsu shouted excitedly and rushed towards Linley, with flames wrapped around his claws as he attacked Linley.
Linley’s figure suddenly disappeared, and Natsu’s claws flew into the air.
“Huh?!”
Natsu was stunned for a moment, he didn’t expect that his attack would miss.
Linley instantly appeared beside Natsu, with his index fingers pointing together.
He said lightly: “One hundred thousand volts! Discharge!!”
CRACK————!!
The dazzling lightning hit Natsu at close range.
“Wa …
Natsu screamed loudly, then fell to the ground with smoke all over his body, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Gildarts announced the result: “The winner is decided! The winner is! Linley!”
“Natsu was killed instantly?!!”
“Lightning elemental magic?!”
“So strong!”…
Everyone in the guild was shocked.
Although Natsu is young, he has learned the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, which is extremely powerful. His strength is also among the top in the guild. Yet he was killed instantly by the opponent. This is too strong.
What’s more, the magic used by the other party was actually lightning magic.
Lightning magic is notoriously overbearing, and within the Fairy Tail guild there is also a powerful S-class wizard who uses lightning magic and is as powerful as a monster.
Gray’s mouth twitched and he muttered quietly, “Another monster!”
He and Natsu often fight, so he knows how strong Natsu is.
The opponent easily killed Natsu in an instant, so the result would probably be the same if he went on the field. He didn’t even see the opponent’s actions clearly just now.
Mira and Erza’s faces turned serious. Linley’s movements were too fast just now, and they didn’t see clearly what happened before Natsu was defeated by Linley.
“This guy…”
“…very strong!”
Gildarts called out, “Anyone else want to challenge me?”
“I’ll do it!”
Mira jumped out immediately. No matter what, she couldn’t let a newcomer look down on her.
“It’s Mira!”
“Mira is stronger than Natsu!”
“Mira will definitely win!”
“Sister Mira! Come on!”
“Receive the Soul of Satan with your whole body!”
Mira used her magic as soon as she came up, emitting powerful dark magic power and quickly transformed into Satan.
Its white hair curls upwards, its ears are long and pointed like an elf, it has a pair of black devil wings behind it, its arms have turned into powerful devil claws, and behind its buttocks is a long, scaly tail, just like a devil.
“It’s here!”
“Mira’s Satan Soul form!”
“Mira got serious right away!”
Mira looked at Linley’s ferocious expression and said, “Don’t get complacent just because you defeated Natsu. I’m going to show you how powerful I am.”
Linley was speechless for a moment. How could he be so complacent? Natsu at this age was obviously not strong enough. He had eaten the Thunder Fruit, and if he couldn’t even beat Natsu now, then he would be a waste.
Linley didn’t know that his silence was seen by Mira as a sign of contempt for him, which made her even angrier.
Chapter 9: Linley vs. Mira (Old Version)
BANG!!
Just as Gildarts finished his words, Mira stomped her feet hard and rushed towards Linley, her demon claws mercilessly smashing down at Linley.
The ground where Lin Lei was standing was easily shattered by Mira’s sharp claws like tofu.
Sizzle——!!
At the critical moment, Linley’s body turned into lightning and appeared beside Mira.
“Don’t think the moves you used against Natsu will work on me!”
As Mira shouted, she swept her scaly, long, powerful tail toward Linley.
Sizzle——!
Linley’s figure instantly teleported to another place.
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
Mira opened her palm and pointed it at Linley.
“Darkness Rush!!”
A dark and complex magic circle appeared in front of his palm, and dark claws emerged from the magic circle and grabbed towards Linley.
“One million volts! Discharge!!”
Linley raised his palm and released high voltage electricity.
The high voltage electricity collided with the dark claws, causing a violent explosion, and both dissipated.
“Two million volts! Discharge!!”
Linley raised his palm and released a stronger high voltage electricity again.
Mira saw this and quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the attack.
“Inazuma!!”
Linley’s wrist transformed into lightning, which shot high into the sky, and he then swung his arm downward.
Snap———!!
A bolt of lightning fell rapidly from the sky.
A huge hole was blasted into the ground by lightning.
“Wooah!”
Although Mira barely managed to dodge the frontal attack, she was still knocked away by the explosion.
Mira had just landed on the ground and hadn’t even stood up when Linley’s figure instantly appeared in front of her.
Linley’s calves were covered with dazzling lightning, which swept towards Mira. Mira quickly raised her arms to block the lightning.
“Waaaaaaaaaa!!”
But as soon as Mira was kicked by Linley’s leg, she felt a terrifying high voltage of electricity, and then her body was kicked away.
Boom boom!!
Mira had pierced through the walls of the guild.
Mira flapped her wings and quickly flew into the air.
She looked at Lin Lei below with a serious expression. Both of her arms were trembling. After transforming into Satan, she had a very high defense, but she was still electrocuted by the opponent and her arms became numb.
No, we can’t go on like this, we must use all our strength to decide the outcome.
Buzz————!
Mira exuded powerful dark magic, and a large amount of darkness condensed between her hands.
Linley opened his palm, and a giant bird formed by lightning appeared.
“SoulExtinct!!”
Mira unleashes an extremely powerful dark shockwave.
“30 Million Volt Thunderbird!!!”
The giant bird-shaped lightning rushed forward quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the dark shock wave collided with the thunderbird.
The collision of the two powerful energies was like Mars hitting the Earth, and immediately produced a terrifying explosion.
“Ugh!”
“Waaaaaaaaa!”…
Everyone in the guild felt the impact and couldn’t help but scream.
Before the explosion ended, Linley appeared in front of Mira.
His body was hanging upside down in the air, blue and white lightning condensed on his calves, and then he kicked towards Mira in the manner of an inverted hook.
Mira’s face turned pale, and she only had time to put her arms above her head.
BANG———!!
Mira let out a cry of pain and her body fell to the ground.
boom—!
Mira smashed a big hole in the ground.
Linley appeared in front of Mira again, with dazzling lightning condensing on his wrist.
Mira struggled to stand up, but the paralyzing effect of the lightning made her body almost unable to move.
“Damn it!!”
“God’s Judgment!!”
A dazzling column of lightning was released from Linley’s wrist.
Everything was destroyed wherever the lightning column passed, and the lake surface was split into two, and finally fell into the deep of the lake.
boom—-!!!
A horrific explosion occurred in the center of the lake.
“Waaaaaaah!”
“Woooaaaaaaaaa!”…
The powerful impact was accompanied by water vapor that spread to the surroundings. Even the guild could clearly feel the powerful impact of the explosion. They couldn’t help but cover their bodies with their arms and squat down to steady themselves.
It took a long time before the impact slowly subsided.
Everyone in the Fairy Tail guild except Gildarts was stunned, their eyes wide open with shock and disbelief.
“Isn’t it spectacular?”
Gildarts smiled widely. The first time he met Linley, he had seen an even more shocking sight. This was something he could not keep to himself, and he had to let everyone in the guild see it.
“Strange…strange…monster————!!!”
Everyone in the guild shouted in fear.
Uncle Gildarts himself is already a monster, and he accepted a disciple who is also a monster.
Mira is already considered a little monster in the guild. Despite her young age, there are few people in the entire guild who can be her match.
The boy that Gildarts brought back looked to be the same age as Mira, but his strength was even more terrifying.
Mira was also shocked at this moment, her mind was completely confused. Just now, Lin Lei finally changed the direction of his attack, and Mira also clearly saw the destructive power of Lin Lei’s magic.
If the attack just now had landed on me, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn’t die.
“I…I lost!”
Chapter 10 This is Impossible (Old Version)
Mira’s face was full of unwillingness when she said this. She usually looked down on boys and felt that none of the boys of her age could fight.
That’s true, the only one in the entire guild who can compete with her is Erza, and Laxus is four years older than them.
She felt that she would be able to defeat Laxus in a few years.
But now that she had been defeated by Linley and had almost no power to resist, Mira was deeply frustrated.
At this moment, a palm appeared in front of Mira.
Mira looked up and saw Linley reaching out his hand to her.
“I’m sorry, I was a little too aggressive just now. My name is Lin Lei, please give me your guidance in the future.”
Mira grabbed Linley’s hand and stood up. “My name is Mirajane. You win this time, but don’t get complacent. It won’t be long before I challenge you again and defeat you.”
After Mira made these harsh words, she left angrily.
“Sister, are you okay?”
Lisanna and Elfman hurried over to see if their sister was hurt.
“fine.”
Mira waved her hands. The other party was obviously showing mercy, otherwise she would definitely not be able to withstand the other party’s lightning.
“The winner! Linley!”
Gildarts declared Linley the winner.
“Mira was defeated too!”
“Who on earth is this Lin Lei?! He is too strong!”
“The power of this lightning seems to be about the same as Laxus’s!”
“Isn’t that another S-rank?!”
“Any more challenges?”
Gildarts asked.
Gray asked Erza, “Erza, aren’t you going up?”
Erza shook her head: “My strength is about the same as Mira’s, and I couldn’t block the opponent’s last attack.”
If Gray had not unleashed that final blow, even though Linley’s strength was terrifying, she would still have wanted to try to fight Linley to the death.
But after seeing Linley’s final blow, she knew she couldn’t resist.
Since you can’t stop it, there’s no point in challenging it again.
“Since no one is challenging me, it’s over.”
Soon, all the members of the guild returned to the guild, all discussing the exciting battle that had just taken place.
Linley followed Makarov to complete the procedures for joining the guild.
A large sky-blue guild seal was imprinted on Linley’s back.
“Well, from now on, you are also a member of the Fairy Tail Guild.”
Upon hearing this, Linley clenched his fists excitedly. He was truly joining Fairy Tail.
When I was a child watching the Fairy Tail anime, I dreamed of joining Fairy Tail one day. When I grew up, I realized that the reason why dreams are called dreams is that they can only be thought about in dreams.
However, now the dream has come true. No matter whether it is a dream or not, even if it is a dream, he hopes to stay immersed in the dream forever and never wake up.
Gildarts patted Linley on the shoulder and said, “Alright, Linley, go get to know your fellow guild members.”
Linley nodded. He really wanted to get to know everyone in the guild.
“Hello! My name is Natsu Dragnegel and it’s called Harpy.”
“Hi, I’m Harpy.”
As soon as Gray left the counter, Natsu and Happy came to Linley.
“Natsu, Happy, hello, my name is Linley, I was a little too harsh just now, Natsu, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, I’m used to it.”
Natsu waved his hands. He had often challenged Laxus to a duel, and as a result, he was often electrocuted. Linley’s attack just now was not very heavy, and he woke up quickly.
“Lin Lei, you are so strong! You actually defeated that Mira!”
To Natsu, Mira and Erza were two monsters. He was beaten badly every time he challenged them. Linley was able to defeat Mira, which gave the boys a great relief.
“Luck! Luck! I’m just a little better at magic. Mira is very strong.”
Although Mira is not a member of the protagonist group, her strength is also top-notch, but her future work focus will be mainly shifted to guild logistics.
“Humph! Winning is winning, losing is losing. It’s not like I can’t afford to lose.”
Mira’s voice came, with obvious dissatisfaction in her voice.
“Hello, Linley. My name is Erza. You are very powerful. I hope we can spar with each other sometime.”
Erza came in front of Linley and stretched out her hand.
Linley nodded and shook hands with Erza: “Okay.”
Actual combat is the best way to make progress. He did not become arrogant just because he defeated even the protagonist of an anime.
If it weren’t for the excellent power of the Thunder Fruit, and if it was just a simple fight of fists and feet, he would be far from being a match for these people and would need more combat experience.
Erza’s magic is not very strong, and she is even too dependent on equipment, but Erza’s skills are top-notch, and she can often defeat the strong with the weak.
Being able to practice more with Erza will greatly improve your actual combat ability.
Only with strong combat ability combined with the powerful ability of the Thunder Fruit can the strongest strength be exerted.
Soon, more and more people came over to say hello and chat. Some people also invited Lin Lei to form a team, but Lin Lei declined one by one. Although forming a team was a good idea, it would mean that he would not be able to arrange his time freely.
He knew the plot, and knew that Fairy Tail and even the entire world would face various crises in the future. He needed to spend more time practicing to make himself stronger.
On the other side, Makarov and Gildarts were also chatting.
“Gildarts, where did you kidnap this little monster from?”
Makarov watched the entire battle between Linley, Natsu, and Mira, and was also shocked by the strength displayed by Linley.
“It was on the way back that I saw this kid. He was struck by lightning and then awakened his magic source. You can’t imagine it, President. It has only been a month since this kid awakened his magic source.”
“What?! This is impossible!!”
Chapter 11 Father (Old Version)
Makarov’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had only awakened for a month. What a joke. With Linley’s level of mana and magic, it was not surprising at all to say that he possessed super strong magic power just after being born.
Gildarts scratched his head. “You can’t believe it, right? Actually, I can’t believe it either. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either.”
“Not only that, after this kid’s magic source awakened, he seemed to be able to freely control the element of lightning.”
“Could he be…”
Gildarts nodded. “I also guess that he is a natural spellcaster.”
Makarov has lived for so many years and has seen a lot. He knows that some people are born with the ability to control magic.
For example, Erza, after her magic source is awakened, can freely control weapons, which is a manifestation of her magical attributes.
There are more wizards who are born with the ability to control some elements. Some can release lightning, some can release fireballs, and some can freeze the water.
However, the power of that magic was very limited, and there were almost no people who could unleash magic of such power as Lin Lei.
“This month I taught him some physical training and fighting techniques. His physical fitness is improving rapidly every day, and his use of magic is becoming more proficient and powerful. Maybe in a few years, I might be surpassed by him. If I train him seriously, he will become the new pillar of the guild.”
Makarov was shocked when he heard what Gildarts said. As someone who had watched Gildarts grow up, he knew very well how powerful Gildarts was.
Gildarts is the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild, and this reputation is not undeserved.
The strongest among them is him, one of the Ten Holy Magicians.
In other words, even he is no match for Gildarts.
There are only a handful of wizards in the entire continent of Ishgar who can rival Gildarts.
Gildarts said that this boy named Linley would surpass him in a few years. What kind of talent must Gildarts have to say that?
Makarov couldn’t help but feel somewhat curious about Linley.
“Gildarts, are you planning to do that this time you come back?”
Gildarts nodded, his expression becoming serious: “Yes!”
“You’re not going to think about it anymore?”
The Hundred-Year Quest represents a task that no one has been able to complete in a hundred years. In the hundred years, countless powerful wizards went to challenge the Hundred-Year Quest that Gildarts was going to do, but all of them died and none of them returned.
Although Makarov has confidence in Gildarts, he is still worried.
Gildarts shook his head. “I have been thinking about this for a long time and preparing for this. We now have a new S-class wizard in the guild, and these children are gradually growing up. I believe that it won’t be long before they become famous throughout the Kingdom of Fiore.”
Gildarts has trained these young children in the guild. There is no need to say much about Laxus’s strength. He inherited the president’s magic power and has far surpassed others in magic power since he was a child. He is very powerful.
Erza and Mira have become capable wizards, and the strength of Natsu and others is also improving rapidly.
Not to mention this kid Linley, he’s a monster.
Makarov also knew that Gildarts had been dragging his feet for a long time. As early as more than ten years ago, Gildarts wanted to complete the century-long mission.
But the situation of the guild does not allow it. He is too old, and there is no other expert in the guild who can support the guild.
If anything happens to the guild, there won’t be anyone to stand up.
So it was delayed again and again, and now the younger generation in the guild has gradually grown up, and he can also do the century-long mission with peace of mind.
“When do you plan to leave?”
“After this S-rank exam, maybe. After all, I don’t know if I can come back after this trip, so I should stay in the guild for a while longer.”
Gildarts smiled and said.
Makarov nodded: “That’s good. Spend more time with these children. They all regard you as their father.”
Gildarts looked at Natsu and the other little brats. He knew that these little brats regarded him as their father, and he also regarded these little brats as his own children.
At night, Lin Lei moved into the guild dormitory. The rent for the guild dormitory was 10J per month, which converted into RMB was about 5,000 yuan.
5,000 yuan a month seemed very luxurious to Lin Lei. He had worked diligently before and only earned 3,000 yuan a month, which was not even enough to pay the rent.
Lin Lei made up his mind that when he made money, he would definitely buy houses, buy a lot of houses, and then become a landlord and collect rent every day.
This is one of his dreams. Every time he sees the landlord wearing big shorts and slippers with a bunch of keys on his waist, he is extremely envious. The dream that could not be realized in the previous world, he wants to work hard to realize in this world.
After taking a shower, Lin Lei glanced in the mirror. In the mirror was a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very handsome, especially his fair skin, which made him look even more handsome.
Linley had no idea how he had become younger; it must have been due to the time travel.
Whatever the reason, being young is a good thing.
After washing up, Linley lay down on the bed, thinking back to what had happened today, unable to suppress his excitement.
I really traveled to Fairy Tail, joined Fairy Tail, and met the protagonists of the Fairy Tail anime.
And he fought against Natsu and Mira and won.
Mira and Erza, although still a little immature now, are already very beautiful. As a man, it is impossible not to like a two-dimensional goddess appearing before your eyes.
No matter what, I have to try my best. If I can have any one of these two as a girlfriend, my life will be complete.
As for my claim that I want them all, please, do you really think you are the hero of a novel, with all the beauties throwing themselves at you? People should be more realistic.
Now that you have realized your dream, don’t continue dreaming in the dream.
The most urgent task is to work hard to improve himself. Natsu is now fifteen years old, and there are only three years left since the beginning of the story.
Once the plot begins, various powerful enemies will come one after another, and he must take advantage of this time to make himself stronger.
It would be best if the Thunder Fruit could be developed to awakening within these three years.
Chapter 12 Heart Network (Old Version)
Fruit awakening, this is a higher level of devil fruit ability, the power called ‘awakening’.
Only a very small number of Devil Fruit users can reach the awakening state.
Awakening is often accompanied by great power.
Awakening is not a state that can be achieved simply by practicing the ability of the fruit. It requires certain opportunities and chances.
According to Teacher Kaido, a person with special abilities can only awaken when his mind, body, and skills have all reached the highest level.
According to Linley’s own understanding, the heart should be the ‘will’, the body is the ‘flesh’, and the skill is the ‘fruit ability’.
Although he didn’t know how to exercise, he could ask Teacher Gildarts for advice.
Gildarts is undoubtedly the top wizard in terms of both mental and physical skills.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Lin Lei joined the Fairy Tail Guild.
In three months, he had become friends with everyone in the guild, completely integrated into the Fairy Tail Guild, and became a member of the guild.
He completed some missions, all of which were extremely dangerous subjugation missions. Under the bombardment of the absolute power of the Thunder Fruit, all the missions were completed successfully and he received very generous rewards.
The rewards for the crusade missions were relatively generous because they were extremely dangerous. Whenever he completed a mission, he would be paid more than five times his previous monthly salary.
This made him like life in this world more and more.
During this period, Natsu and Mira had challenged Lin Lei many times, and Lin Lei accepted the challenges one by one. While deliberately suppressing their strength, the two sides fought back and forth, and in the end, Lin Lei won.
Because of Gildarts, Natsu and Linley’s relationship is like that of brothers, and they often gather together at Gildarts’ place to eat, drink and have fun.
Lisanna and Natsu have a good relationship and often bring Mira along.
After a while, the few people became more familiar with each other and often played together.
Although Mira has a hot temper, she is at the age when she is just beginning to fall in love.
Lin Lei was handsome, powerful, and very kind to her, her brother, and her sister. Mira gradually developed a good impression of Lin Lei.
Through this period of contact with Mira, Lin Lei also discovered that this girl with a hot temper on weekdays was actually just a weak little girl in her heart. It was just that in order to protect her younger brothers and sisters, she had to force herself to pretend to be someone who was not easy to mess with.
This made Linley feel not only fondness for Mira, but also a bit of pity for her, and he gradually fell in love with this girl.
I am the user of a devil fruit, and Mira is the receiver of the devil’s magic. Maybe this is fate.
Lisanna, the matchmaker, noticed that Linley and his sister Mira had a crush on each other, so from time to time she would take her sister to play with Linley and Natsu, and then send Natsu and Habib away to give Linley and Mira some space to be alone together.
Naturally, Linley would not miss such a good opportunity. After several proactive attempts, he succeeded in holding hands with Mira after a period of time.
Just as Linley and Mira were holding hands, they didn’t realize that a few people were hiding not far behind them.
“Linley and Mira? When?!”
Natsu was confused. In his impression, Linley and Mira were always at odds with each other. Mira was always mean to Linley. Whenever the two were together, he was worried that they would fight. He never expected that they would develop into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Lisanna winked playfully and said, “You don’t know this, right? There’s an old saying that goes, beating is affection, scolding is love.”
“like!”
Hubby agreed.
A voice sounded behind the two men: “Lin Lei is really good! He took down Xiao Mi so quickly. He’s quite like me.”
Natsu, Lisanna and Happy were startled and almost screamed, but were covered by the big hand.
The three people also saw who was coming.
“Gildarts?!”
“Uncle?!”
Seeing that it was Gildarts, the three of them relaxed.
“Uncle, why are you here?”
“I was just passing by and saw you guys being sneaky, so I came over to take a look. Linley and Mira! You’re quite a good match.”
As an old father, Gildarts is very happy to see his children fall in love.
Mira grew up under his care, and Linley was his disciple. After spending the past few months together, he had a better understanding of Linley’s character and believed that he was a good child worthy of trust.
“Really?!”
Lisanna was also happy to hear Gildarts say that.
She knew that her sister had always protected herself and her brother, so naturally she also hoped that someone could come and protect her sister.
Gildarts said, “Shh! Let’s go. Linley is very sensitive. Don’t let him find you.”
A few people tiptoed away quietly, not knowing that Lin Lei had already discovered them. The Thunder Fruit can sense electromagnetic waves and has a very large range.
Because of their magic power, the electromagnetic waves emitted by magicians are much larger than those of ordinary people, and each person’s electromagnetic waves are different.
This feeling is like radar. The stronger the magic, the more obvious the detection. Even if Gildarts hides not far behind him, even if he hides a few kilometers away, he will be very conspicuous.
By narrowing the scope and perceiving carefully, even the opponent’s magic and movements can be clearly perceived.
This ability gives him a considerable advantage in combat and can produce an effect very similar to Observation Haki.
Linley also named this move – Heart Net.
Chapter 13 S-level exam (old version)
That’s right, it’s the heart network on Sky Island.
However, Sky Island’s heart web is actually Observation Haki, and Eneel’s heart web is Observation Haki combined with the ability of the Thunder Fruit.
In this way, he has an extremely large range of perception covering the entire Sky Island. If someone says something bad about him, he can hear it and impose sanctions on them. Among the many types of Observation Haki, he is also top-notch.
Lin Lei’s heart network does not have the ability to hear conversations, but because the world is different.
He can accurately sense the strength of each person’s magic power through his mind network.
In the Fairy Tail guild, the one with the most magical power is the one underground, whose magic power seems to be endless.
Then there is President Makarov. Although he is short, the magic power contained in his body is terrifying.
In the anime, the old man single-handedly used the fairy laws to destroy the nearly one million-strong army of the Albareth Empire. If it weren’t for the old man, the Ishgar coalition wouldn’t even have a one in ten thousand chance of winning, as the number gap between the two sides was too big.
The main reason why the old man performed poorly at times was due to physical reasons. As long as his emotions fluctuated drastically or he engaged in strenuous exercise, his heart would have problems. In addition, he was old, so even if his magic power was very strong, he could not fully exert it.
The next one is Uncle Gildarts, whose magic power is slightly weaker than the old man, but much higher than that of other people in the guild.
At this moment, Mira was unusually shy. She looked around cautiously, as if she was afraid of being seen by someone she knew. She did not look fearless as usual at all.
This feeling is just like having a relationship with a classmate behind the teacher’s back in high school.
Linley looked at this and found it very funny: “Well, don’t be afraid. There are no acquaintances around, and it won’t matter even if someone sees us.”
“I…I’m not afraid.”
“Hey! Erza.”
“Erusa!! Where?! Where is she?!”
Mira looked around quickly but did not see Erza. When she saw Linley’s snickering, she realized that Linley was teasing her. She immediately chased Linley and started punching and kicking him. Mira only stopped after Linley admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.
******
early morning.
Lin Lei was doing his daily training, doing handstand push-ups with one finger pressed on the ground.
In the past, he would never have dared to imagine that he could perform such a move, but now this level of training is very common for him.
“Linley!!”
A voice sounded, and Linley immediately recognized it as Natsu.
Looking up, I saw Natsu and Happy running towards me as expected.
“Lin Lei, why are you still training? Don’t you know what day it is today?”
“What day is today?”
While Linley was still confused, Natsu grabbed Linley’s arm and started running: “Hurry up, or we’ll be too late.”
Soon, the two ran to the guild.
At this time, almost everyone in the guild was present, and the entire guild seemed a little crowded.
Linley was somewhat surprised. It was the first time he had seen so many people in the guild, all of them quietly waiting for something.
Suddenly, the door to the second floor of the guild was opened.
President Makarov, Uncle Gildarts, and Erza appeared together on the second floor platform.
Everyone in the guild’s attention was drawn to the three people.
“President!!!”
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time~~~!”
“Announce it soon! Who will it be this year?!”
Seeing the three people appear, the guild suddenly became lively.
“Ahem!”
Makarov coughed twice, signaling the guild to be quiet, and then said: “According to the ancient practice of Fairy Tail, the list of participants in the S-class wizard promotion test will be announced now!!!”
“OO …
Everyone in the guild cheered when they heard this.
When Linley heard this, his body shuddered. An S-level test, he had not expected it to be an S-level test.
Of course he knew what the S-level assessment was, but he didn’t expect it to be at this time.
An S-class wizard, of course he was extremely eager to become an S-class wizard. Becoming an S-class wizard would not only improve his status in the guild, but he would also be able to challenge S-class missions with higher difficulty levels.
You should know that the reward for any S-level mission is around 10 million J, which is equivalent to RMB 500,000. This is a reward that many magicians in the guild may not be able to earn even if they work hard for a year.
This is the goal that all guild wizards strive for, and Lin Lei is no exception.
Linley clenched his fists excitedly, then slowly loosened them.
I have only joined the guild for three months and have not completed many tasks, an average of three or four tasks a month. This promotion to S-level assessment should not have much to do with me, but I can strive to qualify for the exam next year.
“The venue for this year’s test is the Great Western Forest!”
Makarov announced the location of this assessment.
“The Great Western Forest?! Isn’t that… the Great Monster Forest?!”
“That’s right! It is said that there are more than 100,000 monsters living there!”
Many people in the guild were furious. The Monster Forest was a forbidden area. It was a magic singularity, a place where magic naturally gathered. The magic density was more than twice that of normal places.
It is also for this reason that many monsters that like high-density magic live there.
Over time, the monsters have grown in size and have now become a place similar to a forbidden area. This is also the main reason why everyone is surprised.
Chapter 14 Partner (Old Version)
“I have carefully observed your respective powers, hearts, and souls. There are four participants in total!”
“Mirajane Strauss!”
Makarov announced the name of the first participant.
“Great! Sister Mira! There’s your name!”
Lisanna jumped up happily.
“Congratulations, sister!”
Elfman was also very happy and showed a silly smile.
Mira clenched her fists: “Finally this day has come. I will definitely become an S-class wizard.”
She had been waiting for this day for a long time. Her name was not mentioned last time, and Erza became the youngest S-class wizard in the guild at the age of 15 last year. This made Mira, who had always been Erza’s mortal enemy, feel suppressed.
Mira looked toward the crowd and her eyes met Linley’s. Linley gave Mira a thumbs-up, and Mira was very happy.
“Kana Alberona!”
Makarov read the second name.
“It’s Kana!”
“Kana participated last year too!”
“Kana is very capable! Her mission completion rate is also very high!”
Linley looked at Kana. Kana was the daughter of Teacher Gildarts. Only Kana and he knew that.
Cana has always wanted to become an S-class wizard to prove herself, and then confess her identity to Gildarts. Unfortunately, monsters appear one after another in the Fairy Tail Guild.
Although Kana has great potential because she is the daughter of Gildarts, her combat power is only average because her magic is average.
Cana was also having a headache at this time. She got a place last year, but her opponent was the monster Erza, and she lost miserably.
This year I got a place, and my opponents turned into three monsters. Why does it feel like the qualifying exam is getting harder every year?
“Mistergang!”
Makarov read out the third name.
“Mistergang?”
“It’s this guy. He uses hypnotic magic every time he comes. No one has ever seen him except the president!”
“But this guy’s hypnotic magic is indeed overbearing.”
Although the guild members complained about Mr. Gang hypnotizing them every time he came to accept a mission, they all admitted that this guy was very powerful.
Linley naturally knew about Mistgang, but he had never seen him. After all, he had only been in the guild for a short time, and the other party was elusive, so it was not easy to encounter him.
Makarov said, “The last one.”
“It’s me, it’s me, it’s me!”
“It must be me!”
Many people in the guild were praying, hoping that they would be the ones to get the spot.
Linley saw Natsu beside him praying that he would get a spot.
“The person who passed the final promotion exam is Lin Lei!”
“Linley?!”
Hearing Linley’s name was somewhat beyond the expectations of some people in the guild.
Linley’s strength was indeed very strong, but he had only been in the guild for three months. How could he get a spot so quickly?
“After discussions with other S-class wizards, I found that Linley is very outstanding in terms of strength, will, and soul, so he can get a place.”
When everyone in the guild heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Linley hadn’t done many missions since joining the guild, but most of them were high-difficulty subjugation missions with rewards of over 500,000 J.
Furthermore, Linley had a very good personality and practiced very hard, which was evident to everyone in the guild.
Gildarts stepped forward and said, “Since some people are participating for the first time, I will explain the rules first. The four selected people must choose a partner within a week of preparation.”
Erza continued, “There are two rules for choosing a partner. First, the partner must be a member of Fairy Tail. Second, you are not allowed to choose an S-class wizard as a partner.”
Makarov concluded: “The specific test content will be explained after we arrive at the Western Forest. The four selected people and your partners will gather at the guild in a week. Over!!”
Makarov finished speaking and announced the disbandment.
Everyone in the guild started discussing in groups of three or five who would be able to become an S-class wizard. This year’s suspense was quite high.
Cana, Mira, Mistgang, and Linley are all possible.
At this time, except for Mistgang, the selected people were sitting at a table.
“Kana, who are you going to choose as your partner?”
Lisanna asked Cana curiously.
Cana shook her head: “I haven’t thought about it yet, Mira, what about you?”
If Lin Lei did not get a place, she would not hesitate to fight for Lin Lei to be her partner, even if it meant exposing her own identity. After all, that would greatly increase her chances of being promoted to an S-class wizard.
But Lin Lei is now also one of the competitors, so she needs to understand the situation of her opponent and then carefully consider the choice of her partner.
“Of course I choose my brother, Elfman.”
Mira patted Elfman on the shoulder. This choice was not unexpected. Mira had been doing missions with her younger brothers and sisters since she joined the guild, and they had a better understanding of each other.
When choosing a partner, you must choose from among your younger brothers and sisters.
“I will definitely help my sister become an S-class wizard!”
Elfman said seriously.
“Brother-in-law, what about you?”
Lisanna looked at Linley. Ever since Linley and Mira got together, Lisanna started calling Linley brother-in-law, and even Elfman started calling Linley brother-in-law.
As for the fact that Linley and Mira were dating, the big-mouthed uncle Gildarts had already spread the news to the entire guild.
Mira glared at Lisanna, her face slightly hot.
Although everyone in the guild knew that the two were dating, it was too early for Lisanna to call him brother-in-law, after all, they were not married yet.
Linley was very satisfied with his sister-in-law Lisanna, and his brother-in-law felt very comfortable listening to her.
“Me?…”
Linley had not expected that he would get a spot, and naturally had not considered the question of a partner. At this moment, Linley saw the harpy eating fish on the table, and his eyes lit up.
“I choose Harpy!”
“Eh——?!”
Chapter 15 Phase 1 (Old Version)
“Eh——?!!”
The people around were all stunned when they heard this.
“I?!”
Hobby himself was a little dumbfounded. After all, he was just a kitten and had no fighting power.
Linley looked at the harpy and nodded. “The harpy is great! It’s cute, easy to carry around, and can fly. It’s a great partner.”
Habibi was a little embarrassed by Linley’s praise and scratched his head and said, “I’m not that good!”
Elfman asked in confusion: “But normally, shouldn’t we bring some partners with stronger combat power?”
“Fighting power? I am enough.”
Linley showed a confident expression.
Seeing Lin Lei being so confident, Kana was extremely envious. If she had Lin Lei’s strength, she wouldn’t have to worry about becoming an S-class wizard.
Linley tempted Habib and said, “Habib, when I advance to S-rank, I will buy you 100 big fish to eat.”
“100 big fish!”
Habib’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“I will definitely make Linley an S-class wizard!!”
The harpy immediately jumped in front of Linley, raised his fist, and spoke seriously.
“No, no, no! This isn’t right! Linley, shouldn’t you ask me to be your partner?”
Natsu quickly spoke up. Although he regretted that he did not get a place, he also wanted to participate in the assessment so that he would be more experienced when he got a place in the future.
“But I’ve already chosen the harpy.”
“No, no! Harpy is taking the S-rank exam, I can’t just sit there, Kana, I’ll be your partner!”
Natsu rushed over to Cana.
“Natsu?”
Cana and Natsu have known each other for five years. At the beginning, Natsu’s strength was average due to his young age, but as he grew older, Natsu’s dragon-slaying magic advantage became apparent, and his power became stronger and stronger.
Although Natsu is only fifteen years old now, he is also a top master in the guild. With Natsu’s help, perhaps he can really compete for S-rank.
“Okay! I’ll leave it to you!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Linley Harpy, Mira Elfman, even if you are all partners, I will not show mercy. I will definitely make Cana an S-class wizard!”
Natsu declared war on Linley and Mira.
“Alright! Then let’s decide the winner! Come at me if you’re capable!”
Mira immediately chose to accept the challenge. Mira’s character is competitive, and this will not change because of falling in love.
Even when he was dating Lin Lei, he would often challenge Lin Lei and attack him without mercy.
Linley felt that Mira was a bit like his Sassy Girl. Fortunately, he had eaten the Thunder Fruit, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it.
“Everyone should work hard!”
Lisanna cheered a few people on.
“We can’t delay any longer like this, we have to go for special training!”
Natsu pulled Cana and ran out of the guild.
“Elfman, let’s go for special training too. Lin Lei, if we really fight, you must not let me win, or I will ignore you in the future.”
Mira warned Linley.
“Okay! I got it.”
Linley gave a helpless smile and agreed.
He had indeed originally planned to let Mira go when they faced off. After all, she was his girlfriend, and how could he not pamper her?
But he didn’t expect that Mira would see through his little thoughts. So he decided to fight seriously for the position of S-class wizard.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone gathered together and set off for the Great Western Forest.
The Great Western Forest is located at the border intersection of the Kingdom of Fiore and the Kingdom of Sofia.
The forest stretches for hundreds of miles and contains countless monsters. One hundred thousand is just an estimate given by some adventurers, and no one knows the exact number.
Fortunately, the monsters in the Great Western Forest prefer the high-magic environment inside. Except for the occasional monsters that run out to cause trouble, it is relatively safe.
Otherwise, if so many monsters rushed out, it would definitely be a horrific disaster.
“Haa …
Natsu was struggling with motion sickness in the carriage, with a look of extreme discomfort on his face. Linley then remembered that the Dragon Slayer had a weird setting for motion sickness.
It seems that any Dragon Slayer cannot avoid it, including the black dragon Acnologia.
“Is Natsu okay?”
Elfman asked worriedly.
Happy replied cheerfully, “Love! It’s an old problem. Natsu gets dizzy with all forms of transportation.”
“I wonder what the content of this assessment will be?”
Kana was still thinking about this exam. After all, it was related to whether she could recognize her father and daughter. She did not pass the test last time and had no confidence in this exam.
Mira said: “No matter what the exam is, I will definitely pass it and become an S-class wizard.”
squeak!
The pig cart stopped.
The driver’s voice sounded: “Dear guests, we have arrived at our destination.”
“Are we there yet?”
Several people got off the bus quickly.
What catches your eye is a villa with a somewhat peculiar shape, with heart-shaped designs everywhere.
“villa?!”
“There’s a villa here?!”
Everyone was very surprised. How could there be a villa in such a desolate mountain area?
At this time, Makarov walked out of the villa.
“You’re here.”
“President!”
Kana asked in confusion: “President, what is this villa?”
“Oh, this is my friend’s villa. The assessment location is nearby, so I can borrow it.”
“Now that you are here, I will announce the contents of the first phase of the exam.”
Chapter 16 The exam begins (old version)
Makarov waved his hand and a spell panel appeared next to him, with a map on it.
“There are four routes here. You will choose one and reach the destination within the specified time.”
“You will encounter countless monsters during this process. It is up to you to decide whether to avoid them or kill them.”
“But every time you kill a monster, you will get 1 point. The more points you get, the more advantages you will have in the second round of the exam.”
Kana analyzed: “In other words, we have to ensure that we pass the test, and at the same time, we have to kill as many monsters as possible to get more points.”
Bang!
Natsu clapped his fists with an excited look on his face: “It’s just fighting monsters! I’m familiar with this!”
Makarov nodded. “That’s right. Now, choose your route.”
Several people stepped forward and chose different routes. Natsu and Cana chose Route 2, Mira and Elfman chose Route 1, and Linley chose Route 4.
“Where’s Mr. Gang? Why can’t I see him? Has he given up?”
Kana looked around and didn’t see Mistgang. She was very curious about this mysterious member of the guild and thought she would be able to see his true face this time.
“Mistergang doesn’t want to see anyone. He will enter the last route after you make your choice.”
Makarov shook his head helplessly. He knew the reason why Mistygon didn’t want to see anyone, and he couldn’t force him.
“Humph! So mysterious!”
Mira was very dissatisfied with Mistgang. Every time she came to accept a mission, he would hypnotize her directly. Naturally, she was very unhappy with him, but even though she was unhappy, she still admired his magic very much.
Then Makarov took out a few small things and distributed them to several people.
“President, what is this?”
After getting it, Natsu was very curious and wanted to burn it with fire to see how it went.
“This is a tool to record your points. If it’s damaged, no matter how many monsters you kill, your points will not be counted.”
After hearing this, Natsu immediately stopped thinking about burning it.
Cana also quickly took the props from Natsu. If Natsu burned it, she would be doomed.
At this time, Makarov’s face suddenly became serious and said: “Before that, I still want to remind you of one thing. The Western Forest is also known as the Monster Forest. There are a lot of monsters in it. The assessment is very important, but first of all, you must ensure your own safety.”
Everyone’s faces turned serious when they heard this, and Linley did not dare to be careless.
There are innumerable powerful monsters in this magical world. Even someone as strong as Gildarts took three years to complete his century-long quest.
That is enough to prove one thing, that is, there may be more than one monster in this century-long mission that can compete with Gildarts.
What is shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg of this world.
“This is a test of strength, wisdom, and luck. The time limit is four hours. Okay, S-level assessment, the first stage of the test begins!!”
Makarov suddenly announced the start of the exam.
“Ah? Start? Now?”
Kana was a little confused. She didn’t expect that the exam would start as soon as she arrived.
“Kana, why are you still daydreaming? Let’s go! We must surpass Linley, Mira and the others!”
Natsu reacted immediately and grabbed Cana and set off quickly.
“Elfman! Let’s go too!”
“Yes! Sister!”
Mira and Elfman also set off.
“Lin Lei, let’s go quickly!” Habib urged.
Linley glanced in the direction of the villa, then nodded: “Well, let’s set off as well.”
Soon, all three groups set off.
A fat bald uncle dressed like a transvestite also walked out from the wall of the villa. He was wearing heavy makeup and had a pair of angel wings on his back. The wall that the bald uncle penetrated was intact.
“Ah la la! Makarov, who is that child? It seems like he has been discovered.”
The bald uncle is Bob, the president of the Wizard Guild Blue Pegasus, and this villa also belongs to Bob.
“His name is Lin Lei, and he’s a new member who has just joined our guild three months ago.”
“A newbie who has only joined for three months is taking the S-level exam?!”
Bob was a little shocked when he heard this, but he knew that Makarov would never joke about the S-level promotion exam.
“Hehe! That kid is a monster.”
Makarov was very proud. Nothing could make him happier than being able to brag about his child to his old friends.
“That’s really enviable! I don’t know where you found so many little monsters. Unlike our guild, we don’t have any monsters at all.”
Because of his familiarity with Makarov, Bob is very familiar with the situation of Fairy Tail. Needless to say, Gildarts has met him several times. He is a man among men.
Laxus also inherited Makarov’s magic and his future is limitless.
Erza even became the youngest S-class wizard at the age of 15.
There is also Mira who can compete with Erza. They are both young and powerful little monsters.
“But, Makarov, don’t you think it’s a bit too risky to let these children go here?”
Makarov said calmly: “You have to take risks. After all, you want to become an S-class wizard. If you can’t even pass this level of assessment, then it will be more dangerous for them to become an S-class wizard.”
“Let’s go in and see how they are progressing.”
Chapter 17: Passed the first level (old version)
The two of them entered the villa hall together. There was a large screen in the villa hall, which was playing four pictures in real time.
The picture shows the four teams taking part in this exam.
“Hmm? Natsu and Cana have already run into a monster so soon.”
When Natsu saw the jackal-like monsters around him, excitement appeared on his face, and then he rushed forward with flames in his hands.
Cana quickly shouted: “Natsu! We don’t know how many monsters are behind us, save some magic power!”
“Wooooooooooooooooo!!”
“Fire Dragon’s Wing Attack!!”
Natsu wrapped his hands in flames and killed many monsters.
“Dragon Slayer Magic?! He’s the boy in your guild who uses Dragon Slayer Magic, right?”
Pop was knowledgeable and immediately recognized that the magic used by Natsu was the dragon-slaying magic.
Dragon-slaying magic is one of the lost magics, it is extremely rare and the magic is also very powerful.
“He is the second generation dragon slayer?”
Makarov shook his head: “No, he is the first generation.”
“First generation?! How is this possible?!”
Bob was shocked. The first generation of dragon slayers needed to be taught magic directly by dragons, but the dragons had disappeared for hundreds of years.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but Natsu is indeed the first generation dragon slayer wizard. He was taught dragon slayer magic directly by a dragon.”
At the same time, Mira and Elfman also encountered monsters. The brother and sister worked together and cooperated with each other, and the monsters fell one after another.
“Mi La is so powerful! Satan’s Soul! It’s a special reception magic that can receive demons!”
Bob also immediately recognized Mira’s receiving magic.
When Makarov heard Bob praising Mira, a proud look appeared on his face.
“Mira is a pretty capable girl, but she has a bad temper.”
“Huh? This kid’s hypnotic magic is so strong!”
Bob noticed Mistgang.
In the picture, Mistgon uses hypnosis magic to hypnotize all the monsters surrounding him, and then Mistgon uses a knife to easily kill the monsters one by one.
Makarov nodded. Mistgang’s hypnosis magic was very powerful, and even he could only barely resist it.
Those who are weaker, after being hypnotized, will be at the mercy of others just like these monsters.
However, this kid has communication barriers. He has been a member of the guild for several years, but has never communicated with others.
“Oh no! Makarov, the kid is surrounded!”
When Bob saw Linley surrounded by a large number of monsters, he cried out in surprise.
“Oh, it’s that little monster! No need to worry at all.”
Makarov learned a lot of information about Linley from Gildarts and knew how terrifying the strength of this little monster was.
At this time, Linley was surrounded by dozens of monsters, but he was not panicked at all.
“One hundred thousand volts! Discharge!”
A blinding flash of lightning suddenly lit up, and powerful lightning spread rapidly from Lin Lei’s body, making it seem as if a lightning field appeared around Lin Lei’s body.
“Ah——!”…
Lightning struck these monsters, and all of them were instantly cooked and fell to the ground.
“Wow! Linley, you’re so amazing!”
The harpy flew over and was very excited. Although he had known for a long time that Linley was very powerful, he still felt excited and shocked every time he saw him.
“Lightning magic?! The same magic as little Laxus?!”
Although lightning magic is a relatively common type of magic, it is notoriously powerful.
In Fairy Tail, Laxus uses lightning magic and is extremely powerful.
Judging from the relaxed look on the face of the young man named Lin Lei, it was obvious that the magic he just used was just a random attack.
Linley immediately activated his heart network.
Swish!
The locations of all the monsters with magical powers, as well as the locations of Mira and others, all appeared in Linley’s mind.
“Happy, follow me.”
Boom boom boom boom!!
Lin Lei moved quickly in the forest, killing many monsters before they knew what was happening.
“Wow… so awesome!!”
Bob was shocked when he saw this scene. This was too powerful. He could release powerful lightning magic at will and teleport with lightning. He also had such precise perception. This young man named Lin Lei was too powerful.
Makarov showed a proud expression on his face: “Isn’t it great!”
Being able to surprise his old friend really earned him a lot of face.
However, he was also worried. He had heard how strong Lin Lei was, and he had also witnessed the duel between Lin Lei and Mira, but seeing Lin Lei actually fight with his own eyes still felt too exaggerated.
He finally understood how Gildarts felt when he called this kid a monster.
Time passed little by little, and when about half of the time had passed, Linley and Habib arrived at the finish line first.
“Is it true that Linley is the first to arrive?”
Gildarts and Erza were already waiting at the finish line.
“Gildarts?! Erza?! Why are you here?”
The harpy was very surprised to see two people appear here, but Linley had sensed it long ago so he was not surprised.
“We are examiners, so naturally we are here.”
Gildarts said, “Since we are here, let’s wait. When the time is up, we will start the second stage of the exam.”
After a while, Mistgang, who was covered tightly, came over. He was slightly stunned when he saw everyone, and then he found a place to sit down without saying anything.
“He is Mistergang?”
Erza looked at Mistgang curiously. She always felt that there was a familiar aura on Mistgang.
After a while, Mira and Elfman arrived at the finish line. Both of them looked a little disheveled, and it was obvious that the journey was not smooth.
Gildarts glanced at the time and said, “Now the only group missing is Natsu and Cana. It looks like they won’t make it.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
“etc!!”
Then Cana was seen walking over with Natsu in her arms. Both of them had scars all over their bodies, and it was obvious that they had been through a fierce battle.
“We passed the first level!!”
Chapter 18 Battle (Old Version)
“Now that everyone is here, let’s start the second phase of the test. But before that, let’s take a look at your scores.”
“Let’s start with the last group to arrive, Cana and Natsu.”
Cana and Natsu showed confident expressions on their faces when they heard this. The reason why they arrived just now was to get more points.
Kana took out the little prop.
Gildarts pressed it and a number was immediately projected on the prop.
【209】
“209 is not bad!”
Gildarts praised the two of them. Although there was no passing score for the first level of the exam, after discussing it, the minimum score was 200. Only when they reached 200 points would they be considered qualified.
“Mira, where are yours?”
Elfman handed over the props.
【320】
“No way!!”
Natsu and Cana were dumbfounded when they saw this. They had fought hard to kill 209 of them, but Mira and the others actually killed more than 300.
“Hehe! Of course.”
Mira showed a smug little expression.
“Mistergang.”
Mistgang handed over the props.
【398】
“398?!!”
“Really?!”
“Isn’t he alone? How could he kill so many monsters?!”
Natsu and his companions couldn’t believe the number. They had fought those monsters themselves and knew how powerful they were.
Mira’s face turned a little serious. Although she had known about the existence of Mistgang for a long time, she didn’t expect that Mistgang was so strong. This was definitely a strong competitor.
“Finally, Linley!”
“Here I come!”
Harpy grabbed the item and gave it to Gildarts.
【3000】
“3000?!!”
Almost everyone was shocked when they saw this number.
“What–?!!”
“How is this possible?!”
“Kill 3,000 monsters in such a short time?”
“Is there going to be something wrong with this score counter?”
Several people suspected that there was something wrong with the score counter.
The harpy raised his hand to prove his point, “No! Linley did kill 3,000 monsters, even though I did nothing.”
“Really kill 3,000 monsters!!”
After hearing what Habib said, everyone no longer doubted it, because there was really no need to lie in this situation.
“A monster——!”
Even though I already knew that Linley was a monster, wasn’t he too weird?
Lin Lei’s attack power is strong, but the monsters are not fools and will not gather together to let Lin Lei attack. In other words, Lin Lei had to take the initiative to kill 3,000 monsters.
This is completely different from the meaning of taking away many monsters with one big move.
Gildarts smiled and patted Linley on the shoulder. “Hahaha! Good boy, you’re amazing!”
He was not surprised. After all, he had personally led Lin Lei to destroy monsters in actual combat. At that time, this little monster was very scary. Now, more than three months have passed, and the strength of this little monster has become even more unfathomable.
Linley smiled and said, “Nothing much. It’s just that my magic can deal with these monsters faster.”
Everyone rolled their eyes and thought: I’d be surprised if I believed you.
“Okay, now we will start the second level test. This level of test is very simple. It is just two groups fighting against each other. The winner will enter the third level of assessment.”
“Battle?!”
“That’s right!”
Natsu suddenly became very excited when he heard about the battle.
“It will be like this as expected.”
Cana’s face didn’t look good. She had a battle with Erza last time and was defeated by her. In the end, Erza successfully advanced to an S-class wizard.
Of course, it is only natural to have such an exam as a battle. This is the fairest assessment. After all, in the guild, no one can accept that someone weaker than themselves can become S-level.
Then she would have to start thinking about who her opponent would be. As for the group of Mira and Elfman, she and Natsu still had some hope.
Mistgang, according to the intelligence, the other party seems to be good at hypnosis magic. If that’s the case, two against one, they are not without a chance.
As for Lin Lei, Kana has already classified him as a monster. If she encounters him, she might as well just hand in her cards.
“The president said before that the more points you have, the more advantages you will have in the next exam, right?”
“This advantage is very simple. The team with higher points can choose the opponent first.”
“Doesn’t that mean that once Linley chooses someone, the other two groups will automatically fight each other?!”
Gildarts nodded in confirmation: “That’s right!”
It’s not that the higher the points, the more advantages you have, but rather that only those with the highest points have advantages.
“Lin Lei, you choose the team you want to fight against.”
Gildarts looked at Linley.
Linley glanced at the group of Cana and Natsu. Natsu looked eager to try, but Cana was a little afraid to look into Linley’s eyes.
Linley looked away. Kana was Gildarts’ daughter. It was somewhat immoral for him to bully his teacher’s daughter.
Mira looked at Lin Lei arrogantly, as if to say, “I’m not afraid of you.”
Linley quickly looked away. This was his girlfriend. Maybe fighting wouldn’t affect their relationship, but it would definitely be troublesome to coax her.
Finally, Linley looked at Mistergang. It seemed that he was the only opponent he could choose. He suddenly thought of a saying: to make it in the world, besides having strength, one must also have a background.
He could only say to Mistgang in his heart, I’m sorry, brother.
“I choose Mistergang.”
Chapter 19: Linley vs. Mistergang (Old Version)
Upon hearing Linley’s choice, Kana and Elfman both breathed a sigh of relief.
Kana and Linley had not had much contact, but from the day he joined the guild, she knew she would never be a match for the fighting power he had shown.
Because of Lisanna and Mira, Elfman had come into contact with Linley more often. Every time his sister challenged Linley, she was defeated by Linley. Even his powerful sister was no match for her, so it was even more impossible for him to be an opponent.
“Hmm? Why did you choose Mistergang? According to the previous points, Mistergang’s points are second only to yours, right?”
“Nothing, it’s just that I haven’t met Mistergang in such a long time since I joined the guild. I’m a little curious about his strength, so I want to try to fight him. After all, if I miss it, I might really miss it.”
The reasons Linley made up were so flawless that everyone else believed them. Not to mention that Linley had only been in the guild for three months, Natsu and the others had never seen Mystergon in all those years. Every time he came, he hypnotized them. They also wanted to try fighting Mystergon.
“In that case, the battle pairs will be Linley vs. Mistgang, Cana and Natsu vs. Mira and Elfman.”
Cana, Natsu, Mira, and Elfman’s eyes met, and fighting spirit burst out in their eyes.
“Who will start first?”
“Let me go first.”
Linley spoke up. The little bit of energy he had consumed had long since recovered, but it would obviously take some time for Natsu and Mira to recover their magic power.
“Mistergang, what about you?”
Gildarts asked Mistgang.
“That’s fine with me.”
This was the first time that Mistgang spoke. He had never spoken a word before.
“Well, let’s start with you two.”
Soon, everyone retreated to the edge, leaving the middle space to the two fighting people.
Kana said, “Who do you think will win between the two of them?”
“Of course it’s Linley. That guy killed 3,000 monsters!”
Natsu had spent the longest time with Linley and knew Linley better.
“Not necessarily. Mistgang has always been very mysterious, especially his sleep magic. If we can’t resist it, even if Linley is very strong, he will lose.”
Erza said calmly.
At this time, four magic tools with big eyes and small wings were flying in the air. It was these little things that transmitted the images to the villa in real time.
“Makarov, who do you think will win between these two kids?”
Cyan Pegasus leader Bob asked Makarov.
Makarov stroked his chin. “Hmm… I’m not sure. In terms of combat power alone, Linley is undoubtedly stronger than Mistgan. However, Mistgan’s sleep magic is very overbearing. But overall, Linley is still stronger.”
“Are you two ready?”
Linley and Mistgang both nodded.
“Then, let’s get started!”
Gildarts declares the battle begun.
As soon as Gildarts finished speaking, Mistgon immediately waved his wand.
“Misty Naraku!”
Mistgang used sleeping magic, and Linley immediately felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
An electric current emanated from Linley’s body, instantly dispelling all his sleepiness.
“What a powerful sleeping magic! If you don’t prepare in advance, it’s really easy to fall for it!”
Linley’s body turned into lightning and instantly appeared behind Mistgang.
“not good!”
Mistgang’s eyes changed.
“100,000 volts! Discharge!”
Powerful lightning was released from Linley’s hands.
Mistgang’s figure turned into mist and dissipated. Then he reappeared beside Linley, waving his magic wand and shooting a purple laser towards Linley.
Linley stood still and raised his hand: “One million volts! Discharge!!”
Crack!
The two forces collided with each other, causing a violent explosion.
Several people watching the battle couldn’t help but use their hands to block out the smoke from the explosion.
Before the smoke from the explosion had dissipated, Linley teleported in front of Mistgang, and with lightning condensed on his calf, he kicked towards Mistgang.
Mistgang immediately raised his magic staff to resist.
Mistgang was kicked away directly.
Linley’s wrist transformed into lightning, shooting a ball of lightning toward the sky, and then swung it downwards.
“Inazuma!”
Snap——!
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, landing on Mist Hill below.
Mist narrowly avoided the lightning, but he failed to avoid the explosion caused by the lightning hitting the ground, and his body rolled on the ground in a mess.
Linley opened his palm and pointed it at Mistgang, lightning constantly gathering in front of his palm.
“10 million volts! Discharge!!”
A powerful bolt of lightning was released from the palm of his hand.
“Triple Magic Circle: Mirror Water!”
Mistgang quickly released magic to block it, and three overlapping magic circles appeared in front of Mistgang.
BANG————!!
The lightning struck the magic circle, but then it turned 180 degrees and shot towards Linley.
“What?! You can actually change direction?!”
Natsu and the others were shocked to see this.
Lightning struck Linley, causing a terrifying explosion.
“Lin Lei was attacked by his own magic?!”
“He won’t be killed by his own moves, right?”
Soon, the smoke slowly dissipated, and a huge pit appeared where Lin Lei was, revealing the powerful force of the lightning.
Lin Lei stood at the center of the explosion. Not only was he not injured, but even his clothes were intact, as if he was not the one who was hit by the lightning.
“This monster!”
Chapter 20 I give up (old version)
“It can bounce my attack back. What a powerful magic!”
Lin Lei exclaimed in amazement. He was shocked when the other party bounced his lightning back. Fortunately, he was not a magician, so his lightning attack would have no effect on him.
“As expected of you, Lin Lei. Ordinary magic doesn’t seem to work on you. It looks like this is the only trick I can use.”
Mistgang said as he pulled out all five wands from his back and stuck them into the ground.
“Oh? What other moves do you have?”
Linley was a little curious.
“Skyscraper!”
Mistgang cast a spell, and a magic circle lit up on the ground beneath Linley’s feet. Rays of light shot out from the ground, and the ground began to distort.
Then there was a horrific explosion on the ground beneath his feet.
The powerful impact sent Linley flying high into the sky.
Then, Linley saw leather belts binding his body, making him unable to move, and a crack slowly appeared in the sky.
A huge monster tore the sky apart, and its huge claws grabbed at itself and sent itself into its mouth.
Powerful lightning burst out from Linley’s body, and everything in front of him shattered.
“What a powerful illusion!”
Linley felt his heart beating violently. Although the illusion had no lethality, as long as it could not be broken, the feeling was no different from reality.
“That’s amazing, but I realized a little too late that you were already under my spell.”
At this time, a total of five magic circles appeared above Lin Lei’s head. The five overlapping magic circles produced pillars of light that blocked Lin Lei’s movements.
“Go to sleep!! Five-fold magic circle, Mikagura!!”
A powerful laser dropped from the sky, falling towards Lin Lei below.
“Lightning!!”
boom—–!!!
A horrific explosion occurred, the impact of which shattered the ground. The powerful impact spread to the surroundings, raising a large amount of smoke and dust.
“What…what happened?!”
“Lin Lei won’t lose, right?!”
“I never thought that Mistgang was so powerful!”
The strength displayed by Lin Lei was not beyond their expectations. After all, Lin Lei had shown strong strength when he first joined the guild. However, they did not expect that Mistgang’s strength would be so strong.
“Lin Lei, you are very strong, but I win this time…”
Mistgang said as he looked at the destroyed center.
A voice sounded at the center of the explosion.
“Phew! How dangerous! How dangerous! I almost got killed!”
“What?!”
Mistgang quickly raised his head and looked forward.
The smoke was slowly blown away by the wind, and Linley’s figure appeared before everyone’s eyes. He still looked the same as before, without any changes, and without any signs of injury.
“This is impossible?!”
Seeing that Linley was unharmed, Mistgang couldn’t believe it. That was the fifth-level magic circle, Mikamikaze. Even if Linley could withstand it, he shouldn’t be unharmed.
This feeling is as if you used a big move but ended up not causing any damage to the opponent at all. Anyone would find it unbelievable.
Linley’s figure turned into lightning and disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Mistgang.
Mistgang immediately swung his magic wand towards Linley.
Linley grabbed the wand with one hand.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful high-voltage electric current was released.
“Aa …
The electric current flowed along Mozhan and landed on Mistgang, who screamed in pain.
Soon, Linley stopped attacking and Mistgang knelt on the ground, his body paralyzed by the strong electric current and losing the ability to continue fighting.
“I… give up!”
Mistgang admitted defeat. If he had thought he still had a chance of winning before, now that he saw that his fifth-level magic circle was powerless against Lin Lei, he knew he had lost.
Linley extended his hand.
Mistgang was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed Linley’s hand and stood up.
“You are very strong, and I have to fight seriously.”
To be honest, that illusion really scared him. If he was not the user of the Thunder Fruit, which has a strong resistance to illusions, he might have been caught.
Sure enough, no one should be underestimated. Although Mistgang is not a wizard, the magic he releases using magic tools is very powerful.
I am the user of the Thunder Fruit, not a magician. If I were really attacked by magic, the damage I would suffer would probably be greater than that of a normal magician.
I have to be more careful when fighting in the future.
Mistgang shook his head. “You’re right. I tried my best, but I didn’t hurt you at all. I knew the gap in strength between us was too big.”
Linley’s teleportation and the powerful lightning attack were extremely difficult for him to deal with. His own illusions and sleeping magic were also ineffective against them. He had no idea how he could win.
“What a pity for Mistergang. If his opponent wasn’t that little monster Linley, his chances of becoming an S-ranker in this exam would still be very high.”
Makarov said with some regret, he knew Mystogon’s background, Mystogon joined the Fairy Tail Guild when he was very young, although he was taciturn and didn’t communicate with others, he was also a good boy.
“Just show off! The kids in the guild are all so good. If there was a kid as strong as this in my guild, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.”
Bob’s face was full of envy. Although the young kids in his guild were all good, they couldn’t find a single top-notch wizard like Linley and Mistgang.
In Makarov’s guild, there are several top-notch wizards and quite a few first-class wizards. Mira, Mistgun, and Natsu who uses dragon-slaying magic are all good candidates for S-class wizards.
“Hahahaha! This is the wizard from Fairy Tail! Hahaha!!”
Makarov laughed proudly. Nothing made him happier than seeing his children grow up.
Chapter 21 Battle Plan (Old Version)
“Great, Lin Lei, you win!”
When the harpy heard Gildarts announce that Linley had won, he flew over happily and bumped fists with Linley.
“I’m sorry, Linley, I couldn’t help at all.”
The harpy saw Linley fighting with Mistgang and was very nervous after being hit several times. However, as Linley’s partner, it could do nothing.
Linley smiled and rubbed Habby’s little head. “What are you thinking about, little idiot? You’ve done really well. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten so many points in the first level.”
In the first level, the harpy had to fly with the prop in his hand to keep up. If Lin Lei had held it in his hand, it would have been destroyed long ago.
“Besides, if it was Natsu who was fighting in this stage, he would probably fall asleep right away, and I would have to take care of him then.”
When Happy heard what Linley said, he thought it made sense and smiled again.
“The next team to fight is Kana’s team VS Mira’s team.”
Cana, Natsu, Mira, and Elfman stood in the middle.
“Cana, Natsu, you two just defeated me a year ago, how dare you challenge me now?”
Mira looked at Cana and Natsu teasingly with a ferocious expression on her face, as if she was thinking about how to teach the two of them a lesson.
“You were just a kid back then, but now you’re completely different!”
“Yes! What Natsu said is right! We are completely different now!”
Cana and Natsu were shouting loudly, but it was obvious that they had no confidence. Both of them were beaten up by Mira and had never won once. They were almost instinctively afraid of Mira.
“Oh? Then let me see how much you have grown in this year!”
“Receive Satan’s Soul with your whole body!!”
Mira transformed into the form of Satan, with pitch-black devil wings, sharp devil claws, and a strong and powerful tail. Although it looked a bit evil, it had a strange beauty in Lin Lei’s eyes. Next time, he would definitely let Mira transform into this form and study it carefully.
“Full body reception·Beast Soul·Giant Ape!”
Elfman’s entire body changes to that of a gorilla, his size suddenly increasing many times, and in this form he possesses extremely great strength.
Natsu and Cana looked at each other and nodded.
Gildarts announced the start.
Almost as soon as Gildarts finished speaking, Mira rushed out first, intending to defeat Natsu and Cana with a devastating blow.
Kana immediately took out a card and threw it to Mira: “Fate of Summoning Thunder!”
Click, click———!
Several bolts of lightning appeared on the card and shot towards Mira. Mira’s face changed and she quickly dodged. Then she remembered that this lightning was not from Lin Lei and she did not need to be afraid.
Then Kana took out another card and shot it at Mira: “Ice Pillar of Death!”
The card emanated an icy chill that froze Mira.
“The Explosion of the Sun!!”
The card in Cana’s hand sprayed out flames, but the target was not Mira, but Natsu.
Natsu opened his mouth wide and sucked all the flames into his mouth.
“Eat it and the power will surge out!”
“Hurry up! Natsu! I can’t hold Mira captive for long!”
“I know!”
Taking advantage of this time, Natsu rushed towards Elfman, his arms wrapped in flames like the wings of a fire dragon and slapped towards Elfman.
“Aaaaah!”
Elfman raised his arms to block, but was still knocked away. Then Natsu started chasing Elfman and attacking him.
Cracks appeared in the ice around Mira’s body.
“Bang——!”
The ice shattered and Mira was freed from the freezing state.
“Elfman!”
Mira was suddenly worried when she saw Elfman being attacked by Natsu.
“You two…”
Mira glared at Cana.
Although Cana was a little scared, she still mustered up the courage and said, “If you want to defeat Mira, it’s best to defeat Elfman first. Then you will have no helpers. Natsu and I will have a better chance of defeating you together. This is our battle plan.”
“Do you think you and Natsu alone can defeat me?”
“How can you know if you don’t try it?”
Cana took out a card and shot it at Mira. Her main purpose now was to delay time. As long as Natsu defeated Elfman, the two of them would still have a chance to win if they joined forces.
“The Emperor’s Wind Blade!”
Mira grabbed the card with one hand and squeezed it hard.
Snap!
The card shattered immediately.
Kana was immediately startled.
“It seems like I’ve been completely underestimated. Do you think that just because I was defeated by Lin Lei, I think I’m capable of doing it? Don’t be so arrogant, little girl!”
“The moderation of fools!”
Kana quickly shot out a card containing a large amount of smoke. As long as the enemy inhaled the smoke, they would fall asleep.
But then, the smoke began to disappear rapidly. Kana looked up and found that all the smoke had been sucked into Mira’s body.
“Little girl, have you forgotten that poison has no effect on me? Pray for me!”
Mira stomped her feet and rushed towards Cana.
“Oh no!”
Kana’s face changed drastically and she immediately drew out a card.
But before Cana could release the card, Mira’s fist was already there.
Mira punched Cana in the stomach.
Cana bent over in pain, and then Mira quickly turned around and swung her tail hard, hitting Cana in the face.
“Waaaaaah!”
Kana was knocked out and fell to the ground.
Chapter 22 Linley vs Gildarts (Old Version)
In the villa.
“Kana’s magic is very comprehensive!”
As the president of Blue Pegasus, Bob is naturally very visionary. Such comprehensive magic is very advantageous in daily work and can also cope with various situations in battle.
Makarov also nodded: “Kana is indeed good, but because of her comprehensiveness, she is also a little mediocre. Facing Mira’s unreasonable attack, she has no power to resist at all.”
On the other side, Natsu was suppressing Elfman. His Fire Dragon Slayer Magic was much stronger than Elfman’s ordinary receiving magic.
Elfman could only support helplessly.
“Haha! Elfman, you’re really strong! It would be great if you could fight more often!”
Natsu was in high spirits in the fight. Normally, Elfman was timid and never fought, so he thought that Elfman was weak. However, after he fought for half a day and Elfman didn’t fall, he realized that Elfman was very strong.
“I will definitely make my sister an S-class wizard!”
Elfman gritted his teeth and persisted.
“Fall down!”
“Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist!”
Natsu punched Elfman with flames wrapped around his fist.
Elfman was knocked to the ground.
“call!”
Natsu breathed a sigh of relief. Elfman was really tough and it took him a lot of effort to defeat him. Now he just had to work together with Cana to defeat Mira.
A faint voice sounded behind Natsu and said, “Natsu, are you enjoying the fight?”
When Natsu heard the voice, his hair stood on end. He turned around quickly and saw Mira in the form of Satan appearing behind him at some point.
“Mira!!!”
Natsu was a little shocked.
“Stinky boy, bite your teeth!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Mira caught Natsu and started beating him up. Although Natsu tried to resist, there was still a big gap in strength between them.
“Uh…boy, how did you fall in love with this girl Mira? Do you have any special fetish?”
Seeing Mira’s violent appearance, Gildarts couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
Linley rolled his eyes and thought: I am investing in advance, okay? Mira may look a little violent now, but in less than two years she will grow into a gentle and lovely beauty.
Soon, the battle ended and Natsu was beaten black and blue by Mira.
“Ahem! Congratulations to Team Mira and Team Linley for passing the second round of exams!”
“The content of the third and final round of exams will now be announced.”
Linley and Mira also listened carefully. This was the last round of exams. If they passed, they would be able to advance to become S-class wizards. This was extremely important to both of them.
“The content of the third round of examination is very simple. You can choose one of us, Erza or me, to challenge. As long as you defeat us, you can be promoted to S-class wizard.”
Gildarts announced the content of the third level exam.
“Defeat Erza and Gildarts?!”
Natsu and the others were also very surprised when they heard this. They didn’t expect that the third level exam would be this.
Linley clenched his fists, feeling extremely excited and eager to try.
Gildarts smiled and said, “This assessment is a must for almost all S-level assessments. If you want to become an S-level wizard, you naturally have to get the recognition of an S-level wizard.”
“Okay, it’s up to you to choose the opponent you want to challenge. Just like the second level, once one person makes a choice, the other person will automatically become the opponent of the other group. You can discuss it freely.”
As soon as Gildarts finished speaking, Linley said, “No need to discuss, Teacher Gildarts, I choose to challenge you.”
“Lin Lei wants to challenge Gildarts?!”
“There may be hope of defeating Erza, but defeating Gildarts is impossible!”
Gildarts is the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild. This strength has been deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts. Even though Mira and Natsu both clamored to fight Gildarts, it was just a child challenging his father. Winning? They didn’t even think about it.
“Hey! Who allowed you to make a decision on your own?! I should be the first one to choose!”
Mira shouted at Lin Lei. She felt that Lin Lei was deliberately letting her go. Everyone in the guild knew how powerful Uncle Gildarts was. No matter how strong Lin Lei was, he could not be Uncle Gildarts’ opponent.
Linley looked at Mira and smiled, saying, “I’m not giving in to you. I really do want to challenge Teacher Gildarts.”
“When do you want a different challenge? Why does it have to be now?”
Mira didn’t believe what Linley said.
“The challenges I normally face are completely different from the challenges I face now, and I also want to experience the feeling of giving it my all.”
As Linley said this, he looked towards Gildarts, his eyes revealing a strong desire to fight.
Although Erza is quite powerful, if we just compete in fighting skills, I will definitely not be her opponent. After all, I am far inferior to Erza in terms of talent or training.
But if magic is taken into account, it’s a completely different situation. As long as Erza wants, she has almost no power to resist.
But Gildarts is different. Even if this uncle is placed in the world of One Piece, he is the admiral of the Navy Headquarters and one of the Four Emperors. He can use his full strength without worry.
Mira saw Linley’s eyes full of fighting spirit and knew that Linley really wanted to challenge Gildarts, so she stopped competing with Linley.
At the same time, I felt a little proud in my heart that my boyfriend should challenge the strongest.
“come on!”
Mira whispered to Linley.
Gildarts looked at Linley with a smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Linley’s choice.
“That’s right! In fact, no matter what choice you make at this time, it’s not wrong. But since you chose me, let me, as your teacher, teach you the last lesson.”
Chapter 23: Full Strength (Old Version)
After hearing Gildarts’ words, everyone else knew that Gildarts and Linley, the master and disciple, were about to start fighting.
“Come on! Lin Lei, let me see how strong you are now.”
Linley didn’t waste any words, and his right wrist turned into lightning.
“God’s Judgment!!!”
A thick pillar of lightning shot directly towards Gildarts, and the ground shattered wherever it passed. This move was like a punishment from God, destroying everything in front of it.
Gildarts glared at him and said, “You little brat! You actually used your ultimate skill right at the start! Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to handle it?”
Gildarts raised his palm forward.
“Smash!!”
Swoosh————!!
The lightning column released by Lin Lei was suddenly cut into cubes by an invisible force and then disappeared.
“So…so scary!!”
Everyone was shocked when they felt the terrifying lightning column released by Lin Lei. They had seen that move when Lin Lei joined the guild. It was extremely powerful. They didn’t expect Lin Lei to use this move right at the beginning.
Gildarts was even more terrifying, as he was able to shatter such a terrifying attack.
Gildarts smiled at Linley and said, “That’s a powerful attack, but it’s far from enough to defeat me with just that.”
Linley was also very calm: “Of course I know this is not enough, but this is just the beginning. Teacher, the next attack will be very fast, you have to be careful.”
“lightning!”
Linley stepped on the ground, and a large amount of electricity was immediately released from his feet, spreading out along the ground and rushing towards Gildarts.
Gildarts took his time and stepped forward.
All thunder and lightning were decomposed.
“30 Million Volt Thunder Beast!”
Linley raised his left hand and released a bolt of lightning in the form of a wolf-like beast.
Gildarts raised his palm and shattered the lightning in the form of a giant wolf.
“30 Million Volt Thunderbird!”
Linley raised his right hand and released another bolt of lightning in the shape of a giant bird.
Gildarts remained motionless as he shattered the giant bird-form lightning once again.
Just as Gildarts shattered the giant bird-shaped lightning, he discovered that Linley had disappeared from his sight.
At the same time, Linley had silently appeared in the air behind Gildarts, with highly compressed lightning particles condensing on his calves.
Gildarts’s face changed and he turned around immediately.
“Thor Kick!”
Then he saw the lightning condensed on Lin Lei’s leg kicking towards him, and he immediately raised his arm to block it.
At the same time, magic is activated under your feet.
The ground beneath Gildarts’ feet broke into cubes like a spider web, sinking downwards and alleviating the powerful impact.
“Use the ground crushing as a buffer!”
Everyone was shocked to see Gildarts’s move. Linley did not expect Gildarts to be able to do something like this.
“Bang!”
Gildarts grabbed Linley’s legs and threw him to the ground.
As soon as Linley’s body hit the ground, it turned into lightning and dissipated.
Then it re-condensed in the distance.
“That’s amazing!!”
Natsu was thrilled at the sight, and the others nodded in agreement.
Although Linley and Gildarts only fought for a few rounds, the powerful strength displayed by both sides was beyond the reach of others.
Gildarts looked at Linley with satisfaction in his eyes. “Not bad! You have become much stronger. Your magic, whether it is strength, speed, defense, or attack power, is top-notch.”
“Even your combat awareness, which is your shortcoming, is improving rapidly. You are brave enough to attack me even though you know I can ‘crush’ magic. This is enough to prove your courage and confidence.”
“Your strength is top-notch even in the entire Ishgar continent.”
Gildarts had been on the continent of Ishgar for so many years, so he had naturally seen all kinds of powerful people, but there were only a handful of people whose strength could be compared to Linley.
“It’s all thanks to the good teaching of the teacher.”
Linley flattered Gildarts a little.
Gildarts laughed and said, “Stop flattering me! I just taught you how to fight. Your magic is all your own work. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Although the teacher did not teach me magic, what the teacher taught me has benefited me throughout my life. No matter how strong I am, it is inseparable from the teacher’s careful teaching.”
Linley said this in all seriousness. He was not saying this nonsense. Even though his ability of the Thunder Fruit was not taught by Gildarts, Gildarts had been of great help to him in terms of combat. He really regarded Gildarts as his mentor.
Gildarts was touched when he heard Linley’s words. It was not in vain that he taught this kid.
“Alright! Brat, your strength is pretty good, but if you want to reach the pinnacle of the magic path, you are still a little bit lacking.”
“It’s time for you to know why I am the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild!”
“boom—-!!!!”
Gildarts exudes terrifying magical power.
The entire forest seemed to be shaking, and the terrifying magical pressure spread to the surroundings. The monsters in the forest felt this terrifying magical power and all fled away in fear.
Snap, snap! !
The ground beneath Gildarts’ feet shattered, and the powerful magic made the fragments of the earth around Gildarts’ body float.
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!!”
Everyone looked at Gildarts in horror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as they felt the magic power. They barely had the courage to even stand in front of Gildarts, let alone fight him.
“What a terrifying magic!”
In the villa outside the forest, although it was more than ten miles away from the place where the magic power exploded, Bob could still clearly feel the terrifying magic power of Gildarts.
“Gildarts… has he grown to this point?!”
Makarov was also shocked. As one of the Ten Holy Mages, he could more or less feel the magic power in Gildarts’ body, but he did not expect that Gildarts’ magic power had grown to such an extent.
Gildarts looked at Linley and said:
“Come on! Brat, show me your full strength!”
Chapter 24: Thor’s Stance (Old Version)
“Full strength?!”
“Could it be that Linley hadn’t used his full strength just now?!”
Several people were stunned when they heard Gildarts’ words. The strength that Linley had just displayed was incredible, but Gildarts actually said that Linley had not yet used his full strength.
“As expected, nothing can be hidden from the teacher.”
Linley’s words shocked the others. He really didn’t use his full strength?!
But the power Linley had just used was already several times stronger than the power he had used in his previous battle with Mistgang!
If such power were used at the beginning, Mistgang would not be able to resist it.
“You kid, you still want to hide it from me? You were this strong three months ago. You practiced very hard for three months, how could you still be this strong?”
Gildarts had witnessed with his own eyes how quickly Linley’s strength grew. This kid was making rapid progress almost every day and was the most evil monster he had ever seen.
The key point is that this kid looks very honest, but in fact he is not quiet at all. In the first month, this kid often created various moves. Three months have passed, and he doesn’t believe that this kid will stop moving forward.
“Come on! Don’t think you can hurt me! It will be a hundred years before I am defeated by a hairy boy like you!”
“yes!”
Since Teacher Gildarts has spoken, I naturally have to use all my strength.
Crackling crackling!!
Lin Lei’s body emanated dense lightning, and his hair stood up like a Super Saiyan 2. Lightning particles gathered on Lin Lei’s legs and arms, and a streamer formed by lightning wrapped around Lin Lei’s body, making Lin Lei look like a god in mythology.
Thor Stance!
This is Linley’s own unique combat form that he has researched.
This move is created by combining Enel’s Thunder God and the Fourth Raikage’s Lightning Release Armor.
Everyone was very surprised to see Linley’s transformation.
“What…what is this?!”
Just by seeing Linley’s transformation, they felt a terrifying pressure.
Gildarts’s expression also turned serious. He also sensed a threatening aura after Linley’s transformation.
“Teacher Gildarts, I’m here.”
“bring it on!”
The ground beneath Linley’s feet exploded with a loud bang, and the next moment Linley appeared in front of Gildarts, punching Gildarts.
Gildarts was shocked. This was not teleportation, but pure speed.
Gildarts dodged quickly.
Linley punched Gildarts’s position.
A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted, like a falling meteorite.
“Waaaaaaaa!!”…
Natsu and the others who were watching the battle from a distance were also knocked away by the violent impact and stopped only after falling very far away.
After a while, the smoke from the explosion dissipated.
“What…what is that?!?”
Everyone looked towards the battlefield and saw a huge pit with a diameter of several hundred meters appearing where Gildarts had been. Linley was standing in the center of the pit.
“Could it be that Linley’s single punch caused such horrific damage?!”
“A monster——!!!”
Natsu and the others looked at Linley in the center of the pit with horror. Although they had known for a long time that Linley was a monster, he now seemed to have become even more of a monster.
Gildarts’ eyes twitched as well, thinking: You kid, I asked you to use all your strength, but you are really rude! I am your teacher after all, aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to catch it and get killed?
Linley stomped his feet and rushed towards Gildarts, shattering the ground wherever he passed.
Gildarts also rushed forward.
Linley punched Gildarts.
Gildarts also swung his fist to meet the attack.
The two men bumped their fists together.
“boom—–!!!”
The two men’s fists were like Mars hitting the Earth. The impact of the powerful energy explosion spread rapidly around, and the ground, trees, rocks, everything touched by the impact was reduced to ashes.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!!”…
Natsu and the others felt a violent impact from a distance, and their bodies were somewhat unsteady.
After a while, the smoke dispersed and everyone could see the situation in the center of the battlefield clearly. Both men stepped back. This time, the fight between the two sides seemed to be evenly matched and neither of them had the upper hand.
“What a powerful force!”
Gildarts felt his arm was numb and painful. He had just used his magic to decompose some of the lightning particles in Linley’s fist, but he was unable to decompose the energy shock produced by the lightning.
Linley’s figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in mid-air behind Gildarts, raising his legs high and slashing down at Gildarts.
When Gildarts saw this, he quickly dodged.
There was another horrific explosion.
Gildarts gathered his magic power to defend himself, but his body was still blown away by the horrific impact.
Soon Gildarts landed on the ground, pressed his palms on the ground, and shouted loudly.
“break down!!”
The ground broke apart, breaking into hundreds of cubes about one meter in diameter, which scattered in the direction of Lin Lei.
Linley raised his hand and released a thick column of lightning, clearing out the large number of cubes in front of him almost instantly.
Gildarts instantly appeared behind Linley, pressing his palm against Linley’s back.
“Complete decomposition!!”
Chapter 25: Qilin (Old Version)
Gildarts planned to break Linley into smaller, independent individuals so that he would not be able to continue fighting.
Linley opened his arms and shouted:
“Thunder shock!!”
Before Gildarts could cast his spell, terrifying lightning burst out from Linley’s body.
Using lightning to break through the air, a supersonic lightning shock wave was generated around the body. This move could deflect any attack approaching him and was Lin Lei’s defensive move.
Gildarts had not expected Linley to have this trick, and his body was knocked back.
Press your heels hard on the ground.
Boom boom boom!!
The ground behind him broke into pieces, cushioning the impact.
Lin Lei held his arms straight, gathered lightning in each of his hands, and then clapped his hands in front of him.
“60 Million Volt Thunder Dragon!!!”
A giant dragon formed of lightning rushed towards Gildarts.
Gildarts raised his hand:
“break down!”
The huge brontosaurus was cut into small cubes and then dissipated.
Just as it dissipated, Linley’s figure teleported and appeared in front of Gildarts.
He charged forward and punched Gildarts.
Gildarts seemed to be prepared as well, and he clenched his other hand into a fist to meet the attack.
“boom—-!!”
The two men’s fists collided, and the impact of the collision between two extremely destructive forces was very terrifying, and everything around the two men was shattered.
The two people’s bodies flew backwards and hit the wall formed by the big pit, creating a big hole in the wall.
Linley transformed into lightning and teleported to the center of the battlefield.
The wall of earth disintegrated, and Gildarts reappeared.
“It’s so satisfying!! It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced such a satisfying battle!!”
Gildarts seemed very excited at this moment. Linley put a lot of pressure on him. He hadn’t encountered an opponent who could put him under such great pressure for a long time.
“Lin Lei, I never thought that in such a short time, your strength has become so much stronger.”
Gildarts was extremely shocked. Three months ago, Linley was also quite strong, but Gildarts had the confidence and ability to suppress him easily.
However, in just three months, Linley’s strength had grown to such a level.
Especially in the development of magic, no one can match him.
“It’s the teacher who’s giving in to me.”
Linley was no fool, he could see that Gildarts had actually held back during the battle.
Gildarts shook his head. “I did hold back, but that’s because my magic isn’t very good at showing mercy. If anything goes wrong it would be terrible.”
“Originally I thought I could easily defeat you even if I held back, but I didn’t expect you to grow so much.”
“If we continue to fight, I’m not sure if I can stop.”
“Use your strongest move and let’s decide the winner in one move!”
His magic is a super advanced destructive magic – Crush.
It can instantly shatter the links between atoms of any material it comes into contact with.
If used on a living creature, it can even turn the opponent into dust on the spot. It is very difficult to control, so it is difficult to show mercy when using magic in combat.
“Okay! One move decides the outcome!”
Linley also knew that it was not appropriate to continue fighting like this. Both Gildarts’s moves and his own moves were too dangerous, and if they were not careful, they could lead to irreversible consequences.
Linley raised his right hand and pointed it toward the sky.
A pillar of lightning shot straight into the sky from Linley’s palm.
Rumble————!
The sky began to change, and in the blink of an eye, many dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky. The dark clouds began to spread rapidly, and soon spread over ten kilometers, making the entire sky dark.
“The sky…the sky!!”
“It actually changed the celestial phenomena?!”
Everyone was a little scared when they saw this scene.
I have heard that some powerful wizards’ magic power can change the celestial phenomena, but the scope of Lin Lei’s ability to change the celestial phenomena is too large.
Rumble~~!
Thunder and lightning were wandering in the thunderclouds, and they were becoming more and more dense, with thunder roaring as if the god of thunder was angry.
The people below listened to the thunder in the sky and couldn’t help but feel fear in their hearts.
If it were normal dark clouds, it would not be a problem, but the dense lightning seemed to be ready to strike down at any time and there was no way to avoid it.
Gildarts’s expression also turned serious. The thunder in the sky was not only that boy’s lightning, but also nature’s lightning.
The horror of natural lightning is even greater than that of human magical lightning.
Linley’s figure turned into lightning and teleported into the air.
The originally disorderly thunder and lightning in the sky seemed to be guided at this moment.
“What is that?!”
Harpy shouted, pointing to the sky.
Everyone looked over and saw that the lightning from the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky gradually gathered together to form a super huge lightning monster that was hundreds of meters tall, stretching between heaven and earth.
The moment he saw this giant lightning beast, Gildarts’s hair stood on end and his body instinctively sensed an extremely terrifying danger.
This is a danger of death!
If you can’t take this move, you will most likely die.
“What kind of dangerous moves has this little pervert developed?”
Gildarts’s magic power was fully activated, and the powerful magic swept across the spot and soared into the sky.
Linley’s voice rang out in the sky: “Teacher Gildarts, this is my most powerful move at the moment. Take it!”
“200 million volts! Kirin!!!”
Chapter 26: Advancement to S-Class Mage (Old Version)
“roar——!!!”
The ancient mythical beast Qilin roared in the air.
It came down from the sky like a divine punishment, destroying everything in front of it.
Gildarts also used his strongest magic.
Gather all your magic power into your fist.
“Destroy evil and reveal righteousness in one day!!!”
Gildarts roared loudly and punched upwards.
A terrifying shock wave went straight towards Lei Qilin.
When two powerful energies collided, the impact was unimaginable.
The earth trembled and broke apart, trees were uprooted and shattered by the impact.
“Get behind me!”
Erza yelled.
“Change clothes! Diamond Armor!!”
Erza changes into the Diamond Armor, which is the most defensive armor among Erza’s.
“Diamond Barrier!!”
Erza held two huge shields and put them together to form a huge magic barrier.
A strong impact came.
Erza roared loudly and tried her best to resist the fierce impact, but the powerful impact still pushed Erza back.
Natsu, Mira and others also hurried to help Erza resist.
It took a while for the shock to subside.
All the trees around the crowd disappeared.
“how’s it going?!”
Several people hurriedly looked towards the direction of the battlefield. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, as if they were all blown away by the impact of the collision just now.
A huge open space was cleared out of the dense forest.
A bottomless hole appeared on the ground, with only a pillar standing in the middle of the hole, and Gildarts stood in the middle of the pillar.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone was deeply shocked.
“So…so scary…”
“So Linley is actually so strong…”
Everyone knew that Linley was very strong, but no one expected him to be this strong.
There is also Uncle Gildarts. They all grew up watching Gildarts and knew that Uncle Gildarts was the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail.
However, they had no idea how strong the strongest was. They only knew that every time they challenged Gildarts, they were easily defeated by him.
But after seeing that Uncle Gildarts was safe and sound in such a terrifying attack, I realized how powerful Uncle Gildarts is.
Of course, they can accept Uncle Gildarts’ strength. After all, Uncle Gildarts has always been very strong.
But Linley’s strength seemed too abnormal.
After all, they had known Lin Lei for a few months, and they all knew that it had only been more than four months since Lin Lei awakened his magic source.
More than four months. Natsu remembered that when he was more than four months old, he could only spit out a fireball at most, but Linley could already destroy the world.
This guy is not human at all!
“Teacher Gildarts is indeed more powerful. I admit defeat.”
Linley watched Gildarts admit defeat.
Kirin is a move he created by referring to Uchiha Sasuke’s Lightning Release: Kirin.
The high heat emitted by lightning causes the air to heat up rapidly, thus generating rising air currents, which in turn produce cumulonimbus clouds.
Then he forms positive charge in the upper part of the cloud and negative charge in the lower part, and the cumulonimbus cloud will produce discharge phenomenon.
Finally, he combined his own lightning with natural lightning and changed its form at the same time, thus creating this move – Qilin.
The highest voltage he has developed for the Thunder Fruit is now 60 million volts.
But with the help of natural lightning, he can release the strongest voltage up to 200 million volts.
Qilin This is also his most powerful move now.
Moreover, as he continues to develop the Thunder Fruit, the power of this move can be continuously improved, and its potential is enormous.
Gildarts came up to Linley and slapped him on the forehead. “You little bastard, do you want to kill me?!”
He knew that Linley was very strong and his strength was growing very fast.
In order to prevent this kid from being too proud, he wanted to teach him a final lesson before he went on the century-long mission, so that he would understand that there are always people better than you.
Unexpectedly, he was taught a severe lesson by this brat. If he had not used his full strength in that move just now, he might have been defeated.
“You are such a cruel boy! People who know me know that I am your teacher, but people who don’t know me think I am the murderer of your father!”
Linley scratched his head in embarrassment. “Teacher, you told me to use my strongest move. I was just following your instructions. And I knew you could definitely block it.”
Seeing Linley’s eyes that showed complete trust in him, Gildarts couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. He had used all his strength to block the attack.
“Of course… that’s right! But this move is too dangerous. From now on, unless you are dealing with an enemy, you can’t use this move on your companions.”
Gildarts warned.
Linley nodded: “I promise, I won’t.”
Gildarts smiled and patted Linley on the shoulder. “Boy, even though I didn’t teach you magic, I’m very proud of you for your ability. It won’t be long before you surpass me.”
“But I have something to remind you. You are already very strong now, but this world is very vast. There are many strong people outside this country and this continent. You must understand that there are always people better than you. “
“Only in this way can you continue to improve. I hope that one day in the future, you will become the most powerful person on this continent, or even in the world.”
“I will definitely try my best.”
Linley’s expression was resolute; he knew that there were many powerful and terrifying people in this world.
What kind of crisis will Fairy Tail face in the future? If he wants to protect the guild and everyone, he must become stronger. Being at the top is not enough, so he has to become the strongest.
“Congratulations, you passed the exam!”
“You are promoted to the new S-class wizard of the Fairy Tail Guild.”
Chapter 27 I am Pure Love (Old Version)
“I became S-rank?”
Linley was slightly stunned when he heard Gildarts’ words.
“Didn’t I lose?”
Gildarts tapped Linley’s forehead with his finger again. “You bastard, are you really planning on defeating me? I am the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail, don’t I have any dignity?!”
“How old are you? How old am I?”
“How long have you been practicing magic, you little pervert? How long have I been practicing magic?”
He is already in his forties and almost fifty, while this kid is only sixteen years old. He didn’t have the upper hand at all in the previous battle.
“So I… really became an S-class wizard?”
Linley became excited. Although he was confident in himself and knew that even if he failed to advance this time, he would surely succeed next time.
But becoming and being able to become are two completely different concepts.
“Boy, don’t be too happy yet. First you need to know what S-rank means.”
Gildarts’ words calmed Linley’s excited heart a little.
Gildarts looked at Linley with a serious expression and said, “An S-class wizard not only represents status in the guild, but also represents the reputation of the guild.”
“When guild members are bullied and the guild leader is not in a position to intervene, it is then that the S-rank needs to step in and redeem themselves.”
“When the guild is in danger, the S-level will also be needed to step forward to protect the guild and support the operation of the entire guild.”
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
“This is what it means to be an S-class wizard.”
Linley nodded and said seriously, “I understand, Teacher.”
Gildarts smiled and patted Linley on the shoulder. “The guild will depend on you from now on. I can now do what I want to do.”
Linley was stunned: “Teacher, what do you mean by that?”
“I’m going to do the Hundred Years Mission.”
“A century-long mission? So soon?”
When Linley heard about the Hundred Year Quest, he remembered that in the original story, Gildarts went on a Hundred Year Quest, but failed because of the black dragon Acnologia.
In the end, he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. If he hadn’t been lucky, he might not have come back.
“Not any time soon. I originally wanted to go ten years ago, but the guild has never had any new S-class wizards. Now that you newcomers have grown up, it’s time for me to set off and fulfill my dream.”
When Linley saw Gildarts’s expression, he knew that nothing he said could stop this man. All the wizards who had gone on this century-long mission over the past hundred years had died.
It is impossible for Gildarts not to know the danger of this century-long mission, but even so, he still wants to go forward without hesitation.
Not to mention being seriously injured, even if you were really going to die, you might not be able to stop this man.
“Okay, let’s say goodbye here. I don’t want to see any farewell scenes. Say hello to everyone for me.”
Gildarts turned around and waved his hand gracefully, preparing to leave.
“Teacher Gildarts!”
“Hmm? What’s up with you kid?”
“Teacher, do you know that you actually have a child, and that he lives in our guild?”
Linley thought about it and decided to tell Kana about it. After all, he had received such a great favor from Teacher Gildarts, and he would feel guilty if he didn’t do something.
“Eh? Ehhhhh——?!!”
Gildarts stood there in a daze, then opened his mouth wide in fear and broke out in a cold sweat.
“Wait…wait a minute…are you…!!”
“I was wondering why we are so similar. I felt very close to you the first time I saw you. And we are both so lustful! It turns out…”
“Whose child are you?! Sarah…Naomi…Claire…Fiona…”
Linley listened to Gildarts counting the names of the women, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Who is like you, a scumbag? Although I am lustful, I am just a pure lover!
No wonder this uncle never returns to the guild, it turns out he has so many women outside.
“STOP!!!”
“I never said I was your son!”
Linley interrupted Gildarts as he continued to announce his woman’s name.
Gildarts was stunned: “If it’s not you, then who is it?”
“It’s Kana.”
“Kana?!”
Gildarts didn’t expect that it was Kana. Kana joined the guild a long time ago. At that time, she was only seven or eight years old. Why didn’t Kana say it?
“Yes, I also heard it accidentally when she was drunk not long ago. Although I don’t know why she didn’t say it, I think it’s better to tell the teacher.”
Linley heard someone calling his name, and turned around to look back, and saw Natsu and a few others running towards him, with Cana following behind.
Gildarts saw Kana at a glance, walked quickly to Kana, and grabbed Kana’s shoulders with trembling hands.
“Ka…Kana…are you really my daughter?”
Kana was stunned for a moment: “How…how did you know?”
“Eh? Eh————?!!”
Chapter 28 Father and Daughter Reunited (Old Version)
“This…what is going on?!”
“Kana is… Gildarts’ daughter?!!”
Everyone except Lin Lei was dumbfounded when they heard this.
“It… is actually true! Whose child are you?! Sarah… Naomi… Claire… Fiona… Mary… Eliza!”
“No, that’s not right! The hair color is different! Emma… Lila… Jenny…”
Gildarts began to call out his woman’s name again.
Linley held his forehead in his hand speechlessly. Although Gildarts was his teacher, he was indeed a scumbag.
“Pervert!! How many women have you slept with?!”
Kana was also confused. She didn’t expect that her father Gildarts would have so many women.
“I…I know! It’s Sylvia, right? You look exactly like her!”
“Ah! Whatever you want!”
Kana doesn’t even want to acknowledge this scumbag father anymore.
Gildarts hugged Cana tightly and said, “You are Cornelia’s child, there is no doubt about that.”
Kana became slightly quieter when she heard her mother’s name.
“Cornelia was one of the women I had ever truly loved, and she was also the only one I married. I later devoted myself to my work and abandoned that love fifteen years ago. I later went to look for your mother, but she had passed away due to illness at that time. I really didn’t know, sorry, I really didn’t know that I had a child.”
“Why? Why don’t you just tell me? My daughter…has always been so close to me…”
Gildarts trembled slightly.
“I wanted to tell you very much at first, but I missed the chance several times. However, my father is the most powerful wizard in Fairy Tail who is admired by everyone, but I am just an ordinary one. So I thought that I would tell you as soon as I become an S-class wizard.”
“The daughter of the strongest wizard is also an S-class wizard, so she won’t bring shame to her father. However, her luck and strength seem to be a little lacking, so I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
Gildarts shook his head quickly: “No… No…”
He doesn’t care whether his daughter is an S-class wizard or not. Even if she is just an ordinary person who doesn’t know any magic, she is still his daughter.
Thinking about how his daughter’s father had not been with her since she was a child, and how she came to the guild to find him, but he did not recognize his child. Time and time again, he clearly wanted to recognize her but could not say it out loud. He even worked hard to improve himself just to be worthy of him.
Gildarts could no longer hold back his tears.
“Kana!! You don’t have to be sad anymore!! I won’t let you feel sad anymore! From now on, if I want to go to work or drink, we will go together. Please give me a chance to fulfill my responsibilities as a father and give me the right to love you.”
Natsu, Elfman and Happy all burst into tears when they saw the scene of the father and daughter recognizing each other.
Erza wiped her wet eyes and said, “I never thought that Cana is actually the uncle’s daughter. It’s great that we can really be in love.”
Mira’s eyes were also slightly red, but she was too proud to cry in front of others, as that would make her look weak.
After a while, the emotions of several people gradually calmed down.
“Lin Lei, the next test is up to you. I need to go chat with my daughter.”
After saying this, Gildarts took Kana aside to talk alone. He had a lot of things he wanted to discuss with Kana.
“Yeah! Mira and the others haven’t taken the third level exam yet.”
Natsu and Happy just remembered that there was still a test that hadn’t started yet. They were shocked by the battle between Linley and Gildarts, and then they were shocked by the fact that Gildarts and Cana were father and daughter.
The expression on Mira’s face also became serious, and she looked at Erza. Erza also looked at Mira. Since a long time ago, the two have been sworn enemies and regarded each other as their biggest opponent.
Soon, Mira and Elfman stood opposite Erza.
Linley announced the start.
Mira and Elfman attacked Erza together. Erza fought one against two and was not at a disadvantage at all.
Although this battle was not as horribly destructive as the one between Linley and Gildarts, it was also very exciting.
Soon, Elfman was defeated by Erza, leaving Mira and Erza one-on-one.
Linley was also watching the fight attentively, but in terms of magic power and physical fitness, Mira was slightly stronger than Erza, while in terms of skills, Erza was better. Overall, the two were equally strong.
The two men fought until their physical strength and magic power were exhausted, and then they fell to the ground together.
At this time, Makarov also rushed over, and after learning what had happened, he couldn’t help but open his mouth wide.
“That’s exactly what’s going on. I’m Cana’s dad, President!”
Gildarts was very happy hugging Kana.
“Hey! Stop clinging to me!”
Kana suddenly felt embarrassed.
Makarov watched Gildarts and Kana grow up, and he was happy that Gildarts and Kana recognized each other as father and daughter.
“So what were the results of the third level test?”
When Linley used his ultimate power earlier, all the video magic tools were destroyed by the impact, so he ran over in a hurry, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
After hearing Makarov’s culture, Gildarts paused and said seriously, “I, Gildarts, conducted the third level test on Linley. The result is that he passed.”
Erza also said seriously: “I, Erza, conducted the third level test on Mira, and the result was that she passed.”
“The exam is over! Linley and Mira have been promoted to S-class wizards!!”
Makarov loudly announced the results of the S-rank promotion exam.
Chapter 29 Laxus (Old Version)
“Very good!”
Happy and Elfman both jumped up excitedly.
“Next time I will definitely become an S-class wizard!”
Natsu had an envious expression on his face. He also had his reasons for wanting to become S-rank. Perhaps as long as he became S-rank, Igneel would come back.
“Congratulations, Mira, Linley, you’ve become S-class wizards. And Linley, thank you very much.”
Kana was very grateful to Linley. She heard from Gildarts that she said that when she was drunk. She was often drunk, so how could she remember what she said when she was drunk?
But thanks to Linley telling Gildarts, they were able to recognize each other as father and daughter. Otherwise, she didn’t know how long it would take.
“You are welcome.”
He had known for a long time that Kana was Gildarts’ daughter, but there had never been a suitable opportunity to tell Gildarts.
He was in a good mood because he was able to help Gildarts and Kana recognize each other as father and daughter, and it also solved a problem for him.
It would be better if Gildarts could give up the century-long quest.
*****
Fairy Tail.
“Linley and Mira have both advanced to S-class wizards?!!”
“That’s amazing!”
“Great! There are two more S-rank members in the guild!!”
“Linley, Mira, congratulations on becoming S-class mages!”
“Aren’t these the strongest couple in the guild?!”
Everyone in the Fairy Tail guild congratulated Linley and Mira. Any additional S-class wizard in the guild was a great joyous event.
“What?! Cana is Gildarts’s dad?!”
Gray was a little confused when he heard the news, because Kana joined the guild earlier than him.
“That’s exactly what happened. I’m so happy!”
Gildarts ran and jumped holding Kana.
“It’s so annoying! Put me down! You guys should think of a solution!”
Kana now regretted recognizing Gildarts. Ever since she knew that she was his daughter, he had been sticking to her.
Makarov jumped up and shouted:
“To celebrate Mira and Linley’s successful promotion to S-class wizards, and also for Gildarts and Kana to recognize each other as father and daughter!”
“Today we are going to have a big feast!!”
Everyone in the guild shouted excitedly when they heard Makarov’s words.
“We’re going to have a big fight today!!”
“Wooooooooooooooo!! I’m on fire!!”
The guild started a banquet with food, drinks, fun, singing and dancing. It was very lively. Linley also jumped up and down with Natsu and the others, arms around each other.
He now likes the life in Fairy Tail more and more. In this world, there is not such heavy pressure of life, nor does he need to intrigue with others. There is only the purest happiness and freedom.
The next day, Lin Lei stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
Although this is just an ordinary staircase and is even a bit damaged, only S-class wizards in the guild are allowed to go up there.
The reason why you are not allowed to go up is very simple. On the one hand, this is a privilege exclusive to S-class wizards. On the other hand, the difficulty of the commissions on the second floor is simply not on the same level as those on the first floor.
In order to prevent guild members from taking on such dangerous tasks without authorization, the second floor is only open to S-class wizards.
As soon as Lin Lei arrived on the second floor, he saw a man sitting there.
“Hey! Linley, congratulations! You’ve been promoted to an S-class wizard.”
The person who was speaking had short golden hair, wore a leopard print coat, had a lightning-like scar on his face, had a pair of headphones on his ears, and had a cynical expression on his face. He looked like a bad boy. It was Laxus.
“Thanks.”
Linley had only been in Fairy Tail for a short time, and he had only met Laxus two or three times.
Laxus during this period was very rebellious and had a bad temper. Although Linley knew that Laxus cared about Fairy Tail very much, he decided not to make friends with a late-stage chuunibyou who kept shouting that he wanted to be the strongest member of Fairy Tail. There was no need to make things so difficult for himself.
“Lin Lei, you are quite powerful, and you use lightning magic. I admire you very much. Do you want to join the Thunder God Clan and become my follower? I can make you the captain of the Thunder God Clan.”
Laxus invited Linley.
Lin Lei couldn’t help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. To be honest, he didn’t reject being a middle school student. He himself was a little bit of a middle school student, but he was just a middle school student and didn’t want to share his middle school student status with others. That was not the way he had come. That was his dark history.
“Sorry! I don’t like nor am I interested in being someone else’s follower.”
Several members of the Thunder God Clan worshipped Laxus, so they formed the Thunder God Clan. However, he does not worship Laxus, nor does he like to form small groups.
“How dare you reject me?!”
Linley said disdainfully, “What? You can’t refuse? You are S-rank, and I am also S-rank. Why should I become your follower? What qualifications do you have for me to become your follower?”
Laxus looked a little unhappy: “Kid, do you think that you can be on par with me just because you become an S-class wizard? There is a huge gap in strength between S-class wizards.”
“So what? Do I have to become your follower just because I am weaker than you? Then why don’t you become my follower if I am stronger than you?”
“What did you say?!!”
Laxus raised his voice, and many people in the guild looked over.
“It’s Linley and Laxus!”
“Are they going to fight?”
Chapter 30: Three Years (Old Version)
“Are you trying to say that you are stronger than me?”
Laxus narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I didn’t say that, but I can’t help it if you think so.”
Linley spread his hands. He didn’t mind making friends with the normal Laxus, but forget about the current Laxus.
“Little boy, I see you are also using lightning magic, so how about I teach you how to use lightning magic?”
Golden arcs of electricity appeared around Laxus’ head. Judging from the expression on his face, he clearly wanted to teach Linley a lesson and let him know who was the boss of the guild.
“I don’t seem to need you to teach me.”
Blue arcs of electricity also emanated from Linley’s body.
Lin Lei himself is not a person who is submissive. He never picks troubles, but he is not afraid of trouble either. If someone wants to bully him, he will fight back.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and the two men might start fighting at any time.
Makarov’s voice sounded:
“Both of you stop it!”
Laxus stopped when he heard Makarov speak.
“Hmph! Boy, you’re lucky. You’d better know yourself. S-level missions are not something a new S-level like you can do. Be careful that you may not be able to come back.”
Laxus said and turned to leave.
Linley raised his eyebrows. Laxus had a really foul mouth. He really wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but for the sake of the president, he decided to give up.
Lin Lei turned and entered the commission room on the second floor. Unlike the densely packed commissions downstairs, there was only one commission board inside, and there were only three tasks on the board.
There are two S-level tasks and one SS-level task.
He read the tasks carefully and found that none of the three tasks were easy. All of them were very dangerous, but the rewards were relatively generous.
The lowest paying ticket is 12 million J, which is equivalent to about RMB 600,000.
Seeing the reward, Linley was immediately tempted. As long as he completed this task, he wouldn’t have to work for the next year and could live a carefree life.
He immediately tore off the commission to “eliminate the Spider King”, then went downstairs to Makarov and showed him the commission.
“Lin Lei, you just became S-rank and you’re already doing an S-rank mission? Isn’t that a bit too early? The dangers of an S-rank mission are far from comparable to the missions on the first floor.”
It doesn’t mean that becoming an S-class wizard will definitely allow you to perform S-class tasks, it just means that being an S-class wizard is the most basic threshold for performing S-class tasks.
S-level missions are life-threatening missions for S-level wizards, so they need to think carefully before accepting any one of them.
Linley smiled and said, “It’s okay. I have confidence in my own abilities.”
“Well… all right then.”
Makarov had seen the duel between Linley and Gildarts. He still remembered the terrifying destructive power of Linley’s final move. Gildarts also gave it a very high evaluation, thinking that Linley’s strength was not far behind his own.
With such strength, there is no problem in completing S-level tasks.
“Are you really allowing Linley to go?!”
“Ever since Erza became an S-class wizard, she has not been allowed to do S-class missions.”
“Don’t even mention Erza. Laxus was only allowed to do S-rank missions not long ago.”…
Everyone in the guild was very surprised to see that Linley was allowed to do S-level missions just after he became an S-level wizard.
When Laxus heard the voice below, his expression turned a little ugly and his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
Linley said hello to Mira and the others, then set off.
He told Mira that he wanted to team up with her, but Mira refused. On the one hand, Mira was worried about her younger brothers and sisters. On the other hand, Mira felt that her current strength was too far behind Lin Lei, and there was not much point in teaming up with him. She did not want to become a burden.
He respected Mira’s ideas, and work was not his main task. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, he spent most of his time practicing.
Although he was excited about becoming an S-class wizard, he was not too proud. His current strength might be comparable to that of the average ten holy wizards.
But what are the Ten Holy Wizards? They looked very powerful in the early stages and were ranked among the top ten wizards in terms of strength in the Ishgar continent.
But in the later period, when the four people ranked from the second to the fifth joined forces, they were easily defeated by the first-ranked god Serena. At that time, he realized that the Ten Holy Magicians were nothing.
And Serena, the god ranked first in Ishgar, is just one of the twelve holy shields of the Albares Empire.
Even such a powerful god Serena was killed instantly without even a single move from Acnologia.
Before that, Makarov once said that the fifth-ranked Jura was comparable to Gildarts three years later.
But he still couldn’t defeat Gildarts now.
Calculated this way, I am actually nothing now.
He needs to awaken the Thunder Fruit as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to protect himself and everyone else in future crises.
A month later, Linley returned to the guild.
He encountered a lot of trouble in this mission, and it took him a month to complete it. It can only be said that it was worthy of being an S-level mission.
When he returned to the guild, he learned that Gildarts had left for an S-rank mission a week ago.
He had anticipated this. Gildarts’s personality was such that nothing could tie him down to one place forever.
Linley could only pray that Gildarts would return safely.
Time flies like a torch.
Three years passed quietly.
Chapter 31 A Coin (Old Edition)
“10 million volts!! Discharge!!!”
Chirp————!!
A large number of ant-like monsters were roasted by lightning and fell to the ground.
Linley heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to look at the gate not far away.
“Finally here, I’m so tired!”
Half a year ago, he accepted a ten-year mission to clean up an underground city.
This underground city is occupied by a group of ant monsters, which attack human villages and even towns from time to time. More than a dozen towns have fallen in the past ten years.
He didn’t take this mission seriously at first, but he accepted it because the reward was quite generous. After all, what he was best at was clearing out large numbers of monsters.
But after coming here, he realized that he had underestimated this mission. Not only was this dungeon unfathomable, it was also filled with a large number of ant monsters.
This is not a dungeon at all, but an underground kingdom. This place is really too huge.
He began to deal with it step by step, but it turned out that the ant monsters were almost endless, extremely powerful, and had extremely high defense. Some of them could spray corrosive liquids, and even rocks would be corroded in an instant.
Others will self-destruct, with the power of the explosion comparable to that of a missile.
His first attempt at attacking the enemy was chased away in panic and he returned in failure.
The reason is that there are too many monsters, and killing them requires higher voltage, so more physical strength is consumed.
If he didn’t run away, he might have died there.
From then on he knew that this mission would definitely not be easy, and he began to clean the dungeon every day.
He killed a large number of ants every day and cleaned for a month. Later, he found that the ants did not decrease no matter how he cleaned. He even suspected that the ants in the dungeon would be refreshed.
He later secretly observed and found out that after he left, the ants took away all the dead bodies of the ants.
Lin Lei guessed that these ants were probably being fed to the queen ant, to be used as nutrition for laying eggs.
This meant that he had been working for almost nothing for the past month, and he had to deliver big meals to the other party every day, which made Lin Lei very unhappy.
So from then on, every time he killed an ant, he turned it into ashes.
There were several times when he even fell into the traps set by ants and was nearly buried alive. If he hadn’t been able to transform into an element, he would have been doomed.
There were several times when hundreds and thousands of ants exploded together, with a power comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb, and he almost died.
Even so, it took him nearly five months to clean up all the ants, and the only thing left to be cleaned up was the one behind the door.
“It’s time to end the fight.”
Linley gathered lightning particles on his fist and punched the door.
boom—-!
The gate that was dozens of meters long exploded.
Linley walked in and saw dozens of giant ants about ten meters tall and armed with weapons standing on both sides. At the end was a beautiful woman who looked very similar to a human.
At this moment, the beautiful woman’s eyes were filled with anger: “Mage, did we, the ants, provoke you? Why are you trying to kill us all?!”
The queen ant was so angry. Ever since this guy came here half a year ago, he has been slaughtering their ants crazily. She set traps several times to lure this guy deeper, but this guy seemed to be able to see them and was not fooled at all.
At first, she could use the corpses of the ants to lay eggs and continuously generate troops to fight against them. Later, this human magician burned all the corpses.
This is what leads to the slow increase in the number of their ant tribe.
This was the military force she had accumulated over many years. She had planned to rely on this force to capture human countries and even the entire continent, but she didn’t expect that it was all gone.
“You didn’t provoke me, nor did you provoke me, but I accepted the job of cleaning you up. Since I accepted the task, I must complete it.”
Linley was not surprised at all that this monster could talk. In the past three years, he had encountered countless talking monsters.
Compared to talking monsters, talking harpies are much rarer.
“And you attacked villages and towns, killing countless people. I should kill you.”
“Humph! What do you mean by ‘should’? You humans are far more evil than us monsters. You hunt monsters and eat everything. But you humans are allowed to kill us, but we are not allowed to kill humans?!”
“Puff!”
Linley couldn’t help but burst out laughing when he heard the Queen Ant’s words.
“why are you laughing?!”
The queen ant glared at Linley.
Linley waved his hand and said, “No, it’s nothing. I just think you are quite eloquent for a monster. But what’s the point of you telling me all this? Do you want to use reason to convince me not to attack you? Impossible. If you have any last words, tell me. If not, I will start.”
The queen ant became even more angry, her beautiful face turned ferocious, and she shouted an order: “Kill him!”
The giant ant smashed down at Linley with its weapon in hand.
The ground exploded with a loud bang, showing the powerful strength of the ants.
Linley leaped up, and powerful lightning emanated from his hands, landing on the giant ants.
The giant ant paused for a moment, then continued its attack on Linley.
“30 Million Volt Thunder Beast!!”
Linley released a giant wolf-shaped lightning bolt from his left hand.
Lightning in the form of a giant wolf hits the giant ant.
The giant ant’s body was knocked away, but it quickly stood up again and continued to attack Linley.
Lin Lei was a little surprised this time. The 10 million volts of electricity that fell on the ants before almost killed them all.
And these giant ants were not killed by 30 million volts.
If 30 million volts isn’t enough, go higher.
Linley gathered lightning in his hands and then clasped them together in front of him.
“60 Million Volt Thunder Dragon!!”
A thunder dragon roared and rushed towards the queen ant.
Several giant ants immediately stood in front of the queen ant.
The thunder dragon was steadily blocked by the giant ant and then disappeared.
At this time, the queen ant laughed crazily: “Hahahaha! You little brat, do you think I would wait for you here without any preparation? These are ants that I have created by consuming tens of thousands of ants. They are completely insulated from lightning. Your lightning will have no effect on them at all. You’d better die here completely! Hahahahaha!”
Linley touched his heart, looking frightened. “So that’s what it is. It’s an insulator! You scared me. I thought you really created some incredible monster that could withstand 60 million volts. I was so scared that I almost ran away.”
Hearing Linley’s words, the Queen Ant was a little confused: “You… didn’t you understand what I said? Your lightning is useless against my warriors.”
“I understand! But just because lightning doesn’t work, doesn’t mean this won’t work, right?”
As Linley said this, he pulled out a glittering silver coin from his pocket.
Chapter 32 A Certain Scientific Railgun (Old Version)
“coin?”
The queen ant is not like these ants. She has extremely high intelligence and has gained a lot of knowledge from the humans she eats.
Including some magic, such as transformation, she uses transformation to change into human appearance.
“Your thunder and lightning don’t work, so what can you do with the coins? Kill him!!”
The queen ant laughed disdainfully.
A giant ant rushed in front of Lin Lei, holding its weapons high in both hands.
“bite—-!”
Linley flicked the coin with his thumb, making a crisp sound.
Crack! Crack!
A dazzling electric current appeared on Linley’s arm.
An orange beam of light flashed across the sky like a laser. This was the light and heat generated by the friction between the coin and the air. The air also emitted a burnt smell.
A big hole appeared on the giant ant’s chest, and black mucus similar to blood kept falling from the hole.
Boom!
The giant ant fell straight to the ground, motionless.
“What?! What…what’s going on?! What on earth did you do?!”
Seeing that the giant ant she had carefully created had died, the queen ant became panicked.
Linley explained, “The super-electromagnetic gun uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to shoot coins at an initial velocity three times the speed of sound, using the powerful kinetic energy to kill the enemy. In other words, this is not a magical attack, but a pure physical attack.”
As a time traveler, Linley would naturally take into account situations where lightning would be ineffective, so as to avoid being put in a passive position like Enelu.
In fact, there are many methods. You can convert lightning into light and heat, use lightning to break the air to produce supersonic shock waves, and use electromagnetic force to control weapons.
But the coolest one is Misaka Mikoto’s railgun.
After obtaining the power of the Thunder Fruit, the move he wanted most was the Railgun.
Over the past three years, Linley has been constantly experimenting and developing the power of the fruit, and finally succeeded in replicating this move.
“Impossible! My warriors can’t be harmed by even the strongest weapons, let alone a tiny coin!”
The queen ant didn’t believe it at all.
“This involves junior high school physics knowledge, but I’m not interested in giving you a lecture.”
Linley said as he fished out another coin from his pocket.
“Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!!”
When the queen ant saw this scene, she was so scared that she screamed, and all the giant ants immediately stood in a straight line to block the queen ant.
“bite!”
“——————!”
The orange laser flashed again.
All the giant ants had a big hole in their bodies.
The queen ant looked at this scene in horror. A huge hole appeared on the wall behind her. If she had not lay down to the side, she would have been killed.
Linley’s body instantly appeared in front of the queen ant.
The queen ant immediately begged for mercy: “No… don’t kill me! Don’t you like money? I can give you lots of gold and silver treasures! I can also be your magical pet, you can play with me however you want…”
Puff——!
Linley waved his hand, and a lightning blade slashed through the queen ant’s neck, sending her head flying high.
There was still shock and confusion in his eyes: “Why…why?”
Aren’t all human men greedy for money and lustful? Why would this guy attack me without hesitation?
Lin Lei said calmly, “I will take the gold, silver and treasures myself. As for you, you have given birth to so many cubs, and you still want me to take over? I hate unfaithful women the most!”
The queen ant was a little confused, and then her face turned ferocious: “If I die, you can’t live either.”
Boom boom boom boom boom————!!!
Countless explosions sounded in various parts of the dungeon. Dense cracks appeared in the hall, and then it began to collapse continuously. Large chunks of rock fell, obviously intending to bury Lin Lei alive underground and die together.
It took a long time before the earth calmed down again.
boom!
A bolt of lightning shot out of the ground and transformed into Linley’s figure, landing on the ground.
“Fuck! This woman is so cruel! She’s my foreign worker!”
Lin Lei was so angry. He had been working for so long, on the one hand because of the generous remuneration, and on the other hand because of the even more generous foreign workers.
I had been planning to kill this guy and then slowly look for him, but I didn’t expect that woman to be so cruel that she even blew up her own house.
“Forget it, I’d better go get the money from my employer and leave. If I don’t go back, my little Miss La will be worried.”
Although the foreign worker did not get it, he did gain something in the past six months. Those ants were very good sparring partners and could even push him to his limits.
This also greatly improved his development of the Thunder Fruit.
Soon, Lin Lei came before his employer, the king of this country.
The king was stunned when he saw Lin Lei appear. He hadn’t seen him for half a year, and he thought that Lin Lei had died long ago like the previous wizards. He didn’t expect that the other party was still alive and said that he had completed the mission.
The king immediately sent out a reconnaissance team to confirm, and the team reported that the underground city had collapsed and no monsters from the Ant Kingdom appeared.
The king was immediately in a good mood and happily paid 120 million J in reward.
The Ant Kingdom has put his kingdom in danger of destruction. Over the years, he has sent countless soldiers to suppress it, but they have all become food for the ants.
He applied for assistance from the Magic Council, but the Magic Council sent out the Ancient Knights, but all of them were defeated, and the advice they gave was to use the power of magic elves to completely destroy it.
Naturally, he couldn’t agree to this. If the magic elf power really fell, the Ant Kingdom would be destroyed, and his own country would almost be finished as well.
Now that the Ant Kingdom has been destroyed and his own country has been saved, he is naturally extremely excited.
He immediately invited Lin Lei to become the chief magician of his country’s court, and offered him a generous reward and the princess in marriage to him. Lin Lei refused without a second thought.
Chapter 33 Lucy (Old Version)
Hargeon Port.
As a cargo ship slowly approached the shore, a young man also walked down from the ship.
Her black hair was casually draped over her forehead, swaying gently in the sea breeze, giving off a sense of laziness.
The black eyes seemed to contain stars and lightning, and a glance at them occasionally would make people’s hearts tremble.
Under the high nose bridge, the thin lips are slightly pursed, with a hint of unintentional coldness, and when the corners of the mouth are raised, there is cynicism and a bit of tenderness.
Fair skin, handsome face, and tall figure.
She was wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt with a stand-up collar, with the Fairy Tail guild emblem printed on the back, and black pants on the bottom.
Standing in the sun, his slender figure was stretched straight, and every inch of his body seemed to have been carefully carved.
Even if you just stand there quietly, you seem to have an invisible aura that attracts the attention of people around you.
The person who came was Lin Lei who had just returned from a mission.
Looking at the familiar scenery before him, Linley took a deep breath, stretched himself, and felt very relaxed.
“It’s finally here!”
As the closest seaport to Magnolia Town, Hargeon Port was a place Linley had visited many times and was very familiar with.
Arriving at Hargeon means Fairy Tail is not far away.
“We’re going to miss the train. Let’s go eat something first, then find a hotel to have a good night’s rest. We’ll return to the guild tomorrow morning.”
After making his plans, Linley strolled along the streets of Hargeon.
Soon, he heard a noisy sound coming from the front, and several young girls hurried past him.
“I heard that a very famous wizard came to the city.”
“Wow! Lord Fire Dragon!!”
“Fire Dragon? Natsu?! Natsu is here too?! But is this kid so popular?”
When Lin Lei heard the word Fire Dragon, he immediately thought of Natsu. Natsu’s title in the anime is Fire Dragon.
He hasn’t seen Natsu for half a year. He regards Natsu as his younger brother and is happy to meet him here.
However, when Linley got closer, he realized that the other person was not Natsu at all, so he lost interest and was about to bypass him.
Suddenly! A familiar voice sounded.
“Iguneru!”
Linley looked in the direction of the sound and saw Natsu and Happy coming in from the crowd.
Natsu was also confused when he came in: “Who are you?”
“I’m talking about Fire Dragon, you should know, right?”
“Natsu! Happy!”
At this time, a familiar voice sounded.
Natsu and Happy were startled, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Linley standing not far ahead.
Natsu and Happy showed surprise when they saw Linley.
“Great! Linley, you’re back!”
Natsu and Happy ran towards Linley excitedly.
“Lin Lei, I miss you so much!”
The harpy jumped up, Linley hugged the harpy and rubbed its head with his hand.
Then he looked at Natsu and patted his shoulder: “I haven’t seen you for half a year, Natsu, you’ve grown taller again!”
“You’ve been out for too long this time. Everyone is worried that you won’t be able to come back.”
Natsu was also very excited at this time. Because of Gildarts, Natsu and Linley were the closest in the guild. Linley was also very caring towards Natsu and Happy. Natsu regarded Linley as his brother, and Linley also regarded Natsu as his younger brother.
“Well, this work was quite troublesome and took up some time, but fortunately it was resolved satisfactorily.”
“Really! You’re amazing!”
Natsu and Happy looked at Linley with admiration. They knew that Linley was undertaking a ten-year mission, which meant that no one could complete the mission within ten years.
The difficulty of such a task is not comparable to that of an ordinary S-level task. The only higher difficulty level is the even more difficult Hundred-Year Task.
“Hey! You three are so rude! You actually ignored Master Fire Dragon who was reminiscing about the past!”
“That’s right!! Lord Fire Dragon is a very powerful wizard.”
“Hurry up and apologize to Lord Fire Dragon.”…
When the girls around saw that their idols were being ignored, they all started chattering and demanding that Linley and Natsu apologize, and some even went so far as to grab Linley and Natsu.
“roll!”
Linley uttered a word with an icy expression.
Snap!!
A bolt of lightning struck the ground.
“Aaaaaaaah!!”
All the girls screamed in fear and hid behind the man, looking at Lin Lei with horror on their faces.
The man waved his hand and said comfortingly: “Forget it, forget it, let’s just leave it at that. They don’t look like they have any ill intentions.”
“So gentle!!”
“As expected of Lord Fire Dragon!!”
“Just different from some men!”
All the girls looked at the man with admiration.
Linley couldn’t help but frown when he saw this scene. He felt as if he had seen this scene before, but for a moment he couldn’t remember where it was.
“Thank you all for your warm welcome, but I have something else to do at the port ahead, so I’ll take my leave now. I’ll have a party on the ship tonight, and everyone is welcome to come.”
After the man finished speaking, a ball of red flame appeared under his feet and carried the man away.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“We will definitely go back!!”
The girls all cheered when they heard that they could go to the party.
“What are these guys doing?”
Natsu and Happy were still a little confused.
“Don’t worry about them, let’s go eat first, and then you can tell me what happened in the guild in the past six months.” Don’t try to understand brainless fans, or you might become brainless yourself.
“Have a meal?!”
Natsu and Happy’s eyes lit up when they heard about eating. They were already starving. They had used their last money to buy train tickets and were now penniless and had no money to eat.
Suddenly! A girl’s voice sounded:
“Well, if you don’t mind, let me treat you to a meal.”
Chapter 34 Impersonation (Old Version)
Linley turned around and looked back, and saw a blonde girl standing behind him.
The girl has bright golden hair and a blue headband, which makes her look playful and cute. She wears a white top with blue trim on the upper body and a blue skirt on the lower body. There is a whip on her waist. She has fair skin, a cute face, and a proud figure. Her whole body is filled with youthful vitality.
The moment Linley saw the girl, he immediately recognized her.
Lucy.
The heroine of the Fairy Tail anime, even though the reality and the anime are slightly different, it does not hinder the distinction.
The few of them quickly came to a nearby restaurant and ordered a table of food. Natsu and Happy immediately began to eat voraciously.
“Thank you for what you did just now.”
Lucy thanked several people.
“Why?”
“like?”
Natsu and Happy looked confused, not understanding why Lucy would thank them.
“The man called Fire Dragon used a magic called “Charm”. This magic can seduce people’s hearts. It has been banned for sale many years ago. Using that kind of magic to seduce girls is really obscene. Thanks to you, the magic that I was under was finally solved.”
“I see.”
Natsu and Happy also understood why Lucy wanted to thank him.
“Don’t look at me like this. I am a wizard, but I haven’t joined any guild yet. Ah, you don’t know what a guild is, right? A guild is an organization that brings together many wizards and acts as an intermediary to provide them with work and information. If a wizard doesn’t work in a guild, he can’t be considered an independent wizard.”
“Yeah……”
“Also, there are many guilds in the world, but if you want to join a famous guild, the requirements must be very strict. The guild I want to join the most has many powerful wizards. Ah… I want to join there, but I don’t know if I can meet the requirements. What should I do?!”
“fine……”
“But I must join that guild. It seems that I can get a lot of important work there.”
Lin Lei looked at Lucy in silence. Although he knew that Lucy was a chatterbox and was responsible for complaining in the anime, this was too much for her.
Linley couldn’t help but complain, “You’re so talkative!”
Natsu and Happy nodded in agreement.
“Ah! Sorry, I’ve said too much. I have to go now. Please enjoy your meal. I’ll treat you to a nice meal to thank you.”
Lucy took out the money and put it on the table.
Natsu and Happy were stunned for a moment, then their eyes were filled with tears: “You are such a good person!! Thank you for treating us to dinner!!”
“Thanks!!”
“You’re welcome. You’ve helped me. Bye!”
Lucy waved her hand and left briskly.
Linley frowned slightly as he looked at Lucy’s back; he felt as if he had forgotten something.
How did Lucy join the Fairy Tail guild?
During the four years of traveling through time, he spent every day either working and practicing, or eating, drinking, having fun and dating. He had long forgotten the plot. If he had known earlier, he would have written down all the plot he knew when traveling through time.
But forget it, if you can’t think of it, don’t think about it. There’s no need to make things difficult for yourself. It’s useless even if you write it down. You still have to follow the steps. Only with strong strength can you deal with the dangers of the plot.
“Natsu, how is everyone in the guild?”
“Everyone is fine…”
Natsu and Happy began to talk nonstop about some trivial and interesting things that had happened in the guild in the past six months, and Linley listened with great interest.
Natsu also asked about Linley’s mission this time. He also wanted to know what kind of mission it was that took this monster Linley half a year to complete.
Linley also roughly told Natsu and the others about the process of completing the mission. Natsu and Happy were shocked. They didn’t expect that Linley’s mission was so dangerous. If it were them, they would probably have died countless times. It was a mission that no one had been able to complete for ten years. Only a monster like Linley could accomplish it.
“By the way, why are you guys here at Hargeon? Are you just passing through after completing a mission?”
Natsu sighed in frustration, “No, I heard that a fire dragon was coming to this city, but when I got here I realized it wasn’t the case.”
Linley smiled and said, “How could Igunilu appear on the city streets? If he did, there would have been a lot of commotion.”
There was something he didn’t say: Igunelu is inside your body, how can you find him? But he couldn’t say this.
On the one hand, Igneel is creating antibodies for Natsu, and on the other hand, he can’t explain how he knows, so it’s better to just let nature take its course.
“ah–!”
Natsu and Happy suddenly looked enlightened.
“Damn it! I was deceived! I had to sit on the train for such a long time. I will definitely teach that bastard Krov a lesson when I return to the guild!”
Just when the three of them were ready to leave after eating and drinking, a few girls walked into the restaurant and sat in the back row behind them.
“Hey! Did you hear? Lord Fire Dragon is having a party on the boat tonight!”
“I heard about it, I heard about it, I’m so envious! I want to go there too!”
“Fire dragon? Who is it?”
One of the girls obviously hadn’t heard of it.
“Don’t you know? He’s the wizard from the recently famous guild, Fairy Tail!”
Lin Reinaz and Habib paused while eating.
Linley looked at Natsu and Happy and asked, “During the six months that I was away from the guild, have there been any new members?”
Natsu and Happy shook their heads together.
“No, there have been no new people joining in the past six months, and I haven’t seen any of them at all.”
The air became quiet, and the faces of Linley, Natsu, and Happy all turned gloomy. Natsu and Happy had never seen that guy before, so there was no doubt that the guy was a fake.
Impersonating someone else’s guild to do bad things and tarnish the guild’s reputation is unacceptable for any guild.
Linley narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone, “It looks like we have to meet that Fire Dragon-sama. He actually dared to pretend to be from Fairy Tail. I wonder if he is ready to pay the price.”
Chapter 35: God’s Punishment (Old Version)
Linley had already recalled the plot by now. The guy who claimed to be a fire dragon was actually a human trafficker. He pretended to be the “fire dragon” that Natsu had recently gained, and then used the “charm” magic to lure those girls onto the ship and then sell them off.
Impersonating Fairy Tail is already a serious crime, and impersonating Fairy Tail and trafficking in human beings is an unforgivable crime.
The two men and the cat quickly arrived at the port. The ship had sailed very far away and only a dot of light could be seen standing on the shore.
“We are too late. The Fire Dragon’s ship has already left.”
Happy said, pointing at a light in the distance.
“Boat… Ugh… I don’t want to. I want to vomit just by looking at me…”
Natsu quickly turned his head away, otherwise he might vomit out everything he just ate.
The harpy said to Linley, “Linley, let me take you over.”
Natsu couldn’t be counted on for seasickness, so Linley had to be relied on.
Linley waved his hand and said, “Don’t bother. Just let those guys come back on their own.”
“Come back by yourself?”
Natsu and Happy tilted their heads in confusion.
Linley raised his right hand and pointed it toward the sky, with lightning bursting from his wrist.
A ball of lightning shot into the clouds in the sky.
The sky above the sea suddenly began to change, and cumulonimbus clouds began to gather.
At this time, on the Fire Dragon Boat, all the girls who came to the party were drugged and Lucy was also controlled by the human traffickers.
“As expected of Mr. Fire Dragon.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such good stuff. It will definitely sell for a high price.”
Lucy panicked and struggled hard: “Who are you? What are you going to do?!”
“Welcome to my slave ship. Behave yourself until the ship reaches Bosco, little girl.”
The man who called himself “Fire Dragon” lifted Lucy’s chin and said with a ferocious smile.
“Bosco? Wait! That Fairy Tail?!”
“Huh?! You’re still thinking about Fairy Tail? Of course I was lying to you. You’re so naive to be fooled so easily. Didn’t I tell you that this is a slave ship? From the beginning, I planned to sell you as a commodity.”
“What!!”
Lucy couldn’t believe that the wizards in the Fairy Tail guild that she longed for were actually abusing magic, cheating people, and trafficking in human beings. Could these be the wizards of Fairy Tail?
“I’ll brand you as a slave first. It’s a little hot, but it will pass if you bear with it.”
The ‘Fire Dragon’ took out a branding iron and prepared to brand Lucy as a slave.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the branding iron.
“Aaaaaaaah!”
The ‘Fire Dragon’ screamed in pain.
“Mr. Fire Dragon?!!”
The Fire Dragon looked up at the broken template above him in a daze: “What the hell is going on? There’s thunder.”
At this time, a human trafficker rushed in: “No… It’s bad! Mr. Fire Dragon! There is a thunderstorm ahead! “
“What nonsense are you talking about? Everything was fine when we set out just now, how could there be thunder…”
A bolt of lightning came down and struck the deck.
The human traffickers on the boat screamed in fear.
The ‘Fire Dragon’ then saw that a large number of cumulonimbus clouds appeared in the sky ahead, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking around the ship.
“Retreat! Retreat quickly!!”
The Fire Dragon’s face suddenly changed and he quickly shouted to retreat. Going out to sea in this kind of weather would definitely lead to death.
Many of the human traffickers quickly turned the boat around and sped towards the port, but the lightning in the sky seemed to have eyes and kept striking the boat.
“Damn it! What the hell is going on?! Why are these lightning bolts chasing us and striking us?”
“It must be that we trafficked in human beings and did something that angered the gods and the people. The gods are punishing us!”
A human trafficker knelt on the deck and prayed.
The Fire Dragon kicked the guy away and said, “What punishment from the gods? Get out of here!”
At this time, on the harbor beach, Natsu and Happy also saw the ship being driven by lightning and heading towards them quickly.
Boom! !
The boat ran straight onto the beach.
The boat rushed to the shore, and the huge inertia caused everyone to fall to the ground. The girls who had taken the medicine also woke up and ran away screaming.
Lucy also took this opportunity to break free and escape.
The Fire Dragon’s expression suddenly changed: “Quick! Catch that woman back! We can’t let her get away. If she complains to the reviewers, we’re done for!!”
Those girls were easy to deal with, as they were all knocked unconscious and had no idea what was going on. But this girl named Lucy was different, as she knew they were human traffickers.
“yes!!”
Many human traffickers also knew that they must not let Lucy escape, so they jumped off the boat and chased after her.
“You little bitch! Don’t even think about running away!”
Lucy was wearing high heels and had difficulty moving. She stepped into the soft sand and fell to the ground.
“You little bastard, where are you going to run this time?”
The two strong men grabbed Lucy from the left and right.
Two bolts of lightning flashed past Lucy.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The two human traffickers were struck by lightning and fell to the beach, charred.
Lucy raised her head and looked forward, and saw three familiar figures. On the hair of one of the figures, she could see dancing blue and white arcs of electricity.
“Linley, Natsu, Happy!!”
Chapter 36 Thor (Old Version)
Lucy immediately recognized Linley and the other two.
She didn’t expect to meet Lin Lei and the others here again.
“Lucy?! What are you doing here?”
Happy was also surprised to see Lucy.
“I was tricked by them! They said they could let me join Fairy Tail so I…”
“It’s you!”
At this time, Fire Dragon and his men came out from the boat and recognized that Linley was the two little ghosts he had encountered during the day.
“Linley, Natsu, run! They are human traffickers, planning to sell all the girls as slaves.”
Natsu and Happy’s faces changed when they heard this. Not only did they pretend to be Fairy Tail to deceive people, but now they are even trafficking in human beings.
“Little girl, don’t talk nonsense. You will be held legally responsible if you frame others. We arrested you because you stole our things. I advise you two boys not to meddle in other people’s business. Go and bring that stinky girl back to me.”
Natsu stood up and looked at the ‘Fire Dragon’ and said, “Are you a wizard from Fairy Tail?”
“So what?!”
“Come here and show me! I’m Natsu from Fairy Tail! I’ve never seen anyone like you before!!”
Natsu punched the two human traffickers who rushed over and knocked them to the ground.
“What!! Fairy Tail? Natsu is a Fairy Tail wizard?!”
Lucy was shocked, she never expected that Natsu was a wizard of Fairy Tail. If Natsu was a wizard of Fairy Tail, then this guy must be a fake.
“Look at that badge!!”
The trafficker noticed the guild emblem on Natsu’s shoulder and recognized him immediately.
“Mr. Pola, this is the real thing!!”
“Stupid…idiot!! Don’t call me by my real name!!”
“Pola, Hongtian’s Pola, the one who was expelled from the Mage Guild Giant’s Nose several years ago.”
When Habib heard the other person’s name, he also knew the other person’s identity.
“I don’t care if you are a good guy or a bad guy, if you pretend to be Fairy Tail, I will never let you go!!”
Natsu’s forehead veins bulged and his teeth were grinding.
“Hah! Shut up, kid!”
Bora raised her hand and released a blast of fire that hit Natsu.
“Natsu!!”
Lucy became very worried when she saw this and wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Happy who spread his wings.
“Humph! Even if you are a Fairy Tail wizard, you are still just a small-time wizard.”
Seeing Natsu being burned by flames, Pora had a smug look on her face.
Natsu’s voice came from the flames.
“It’s disgusting! Are you really a fire wizard? This is the first time I’ve eaten such disgusting flames.”
Then you can see Natsu swallowing the flames into his mouth in big gulps.
“fire……?!”
“He actually ate the fire?!”
“Is this…is this guy a human?!”
Except for Linley and Habib, everyone else was stunned when they saw this scene.
“Eat it and the power will surge out!!”
Natsu took a deep breath, his chest expanding as a large amount of magic power gathered in his lungs.
“Roar of the Fire Dragon!!”
call—!!
A storm of fire burst out from Natsu’s mouth.
The traffickers’ boat was destroyed.
Some human traffickers who were unable to dodge were also blown away by the flames and burned, causing them to scream in agony.
“Mr. Pola!! I’ve seen this guy before!! Cherry red hair and scale-like scarf, it’s definitely him!! This guy is a real fire dragon!!”
Bola was a little dumbfounded. He pretended to be the most popular fire dragon in the Kingdom of Fiore recently, but he didn’t expect to run into the real one.
Lucy was equally shocked, and also didn’t expect that Natsu was actually the real Fire Dragon.
“You guys, remember this, this is the wizard of Fairy Tail!!”
Natsu rushed forward and started beating up the human traffickers.
“Ola Ola Ola!!!”
Linley warned, “Natsu, don’t go too far. This is a port. If you cause too much damage, the Magic Council will give you trouble.”
“Council!”
Natsu was startled and stopped immediately. What the guild wizards feared most was the Council. This was not a question of whether they could defeat them or not, but more like a thief being afraid of the police.
When Bora saw Natsu stop, she quickly ran away with red flames rising from her feet. Of course, she didn’t forget to swear as she ran away: “You little bastards! I’ll remember you! Just wait for me!!”
When Lucy saw Pola running away, her face changed: “Oh no! He’s trying to escape!!”
But Habib smiled calmly and said, “Don’t worry, he can’t run away.”
Linley’s voice seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth at this moment: “You have offended Fairy Tail! And you want to escape without paying the price! There is no such thing in the world!! Expect God’s punishment!!!”
Linley’s wrist transformed into lightning and shot high into the sky.
Then, the night sky lit up, and Pola, who was running away, raised her head and looked towards the sky.
Suddenly, a pillar of lightning fell from the sky.
“Ughhhhhhhhhh!!!”
The lightning column pierced through the sky, hit Pola, and then fell into the sea, causing a terrifying explosion.
The blast created gusts of air and huge waves that blew away ships on the coast and destroyed many buildings in the port.
The strong impact took a while to subside.
Looking at the scene of destruction before her, and remembering the pillar of lightning that had just pierced through the sky and earth, Lucy was so frightened that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
She felt that Natsu’s magic just now was very powerful, but she didn’t expect that Linley’s magic was even more terrifying.
“Awesome! It’s really awesome! But it’s too much!! The port is destroyed!!”
“Ah! I accidentally used too much force!”
Linley suddenly felt a little distressed. If he had to pay for all of this, he didn’t know how much he would have lost. “No one saw that I did this, right?”
“That’s what I wanted to say, but…” Happy pointed at a group of people watching the excitement from a distance.
At this moment, the trafficker who recognized Natsu as the Fire Dragon seemed to recognize Linley’s identity as well. His face was filled with horror. “You…you…you are the ‘Thunder God’ of Fairy Tail!!!”
Chapter 37: Magic Council (Old Version)
“Thor!!”
Lucy suddenly looked at Linley with her eyes wide open. ‘Thor’ was the most popular wizard in the Kingdom of Fiore before the ‘Fire Dragon’ became active. He had done many outrageous things.
It’s just that he seemed to have disappeared in the past six months, and the ‘Fire Dragon’ has only just risen. Even so, the name of ‘Thor’ is still talked about by everyone, and his reputation is even more famous than that of ‘Fire Dragon’.
“Lin Lei, you… you are the ‘God of Thunder’?!”
Before Linley nodded, Happy said proudly, “That’s right! Linley is the ‘God of Thunder’.”
It looked as if it was saying that it was the god of thunder.
Lucy was stunned. She actually met the two most powerful wizards in the Kingdom of Fiore. What kind of incredible luck was this?
At this time, heavy footsteps sounded, followed by someone shouting, “Quick! Surround this place! Someone reported that wizards are fighting here! We must catch them!”
“army!!”
Linley and Natsu’s faces changed. The mages of the Mages Guild hated to have conflicts with the authorities. It was because an investigation and evidence collection might take a week, and they would have to go through various interrogations during that time, which was very troublesome.
Although these armies are vulnerable in front of them, it will be even more troublesome if you fight the army, so there is only one best way to deal with the army.
“Run away!!”
Natsu grabbed Lucy and ran away immediately.
“Why should I run away too?!”
“Don’t you want to join Fairy Tail? Then follow me!”
Lucy’s face showed surprise when she heard this. She ran away from home this time just to join the Fairy Tail guild she had always dreamed of, but she didn’t expect it to be in this way.
“Oh, right, Linley, eh? Missing?!”
Lucy turned around and saw that the place where Lin Lei was was already empty.
Happy said, “Don’t worry about Linley. He is the fastest wizard in the world. No one can catch him.”
Magic Council ERA
An Oger councillor angrily slammed the newspaper on the table. “It’s the work of those idiots from Fairy Tail again! This time they destroyed half of the port!! It’s unbelievable?! They might demolish the whole city someday!”
“Don’t be such a pessimist. They might really do that.”
Councillor Reggie felt that with the tone of Fairy Tail, they might actually do such a thing.
The Yakima councillor said: “We have reported to the local government that the purpose is to capture a criminal named Pola. This time, it is a serious crime of human trafficking. There is evidence and witnesses, and 23 girls were rescued. The local government has decided not to pursue the matter.”
Zikrein said with a grin, “This is great! This incident was solved perfectly! I quite like those idiots.”
Oger immediately said angrily: “Shut up! Zeke! Is this just about this incident? It’s about those idiots from Fairy Tail who are always getting into trouble!!”
“Yes! Although that group of guys always get into trouble, there are quite a few talented people among them, such as the ‘Thunder God’ and the ‘Fire Dragon’ in this incident. These two are both top-notch young wizards, especially the ‘Thunder God’ Linley. He has a great chance of inheriting the title of one of Makarov’s Ten Holy Wizards.”
As members of the Council, these people can be said to be at the pinnacle of power on the continent of Ishgar, and they know a lot of information that others are not aware of.
Especially the information about the ‘God of Thunder’ Linley. When Zekelein was selected as one of the Ten Great Mages, many of the councillors were actually more optimistic about Linley, but they remembered that Fairy Tail already had Makarov, a veteran wizard among the Ten Great Mages.
If there was another such young Holy Ten Magicians, this guild might become even more lawless. The main job of their Magic Council is to maintain balance, so they naturally don’t want the Fairy Tail guild to dominate the guild.
“‘Thor’ Linley, hasn’t he been seen for half a year? As soon as he showed up, he caused such a big commotion.”
The female council member, Belluno, was somewhat puzzled as to what Linley had been doing for the past six months.
Urrutia said, “According to the information provided by King Orarie, the reason why Linley has not appeared in the past six months is that he is cleaning out the dungeon in that kingdom. It seems that he has already cleaned out the dungeon.”
“The underground city in the Kingdom of Orario?!”
“It was actually cleaned up?!”
“The dungeon that we sent out so many Ancient Knights but still couldn’t handle?!”
“Didn’t they say that even the Ten Holy Mages would be helpless against that dungeon?!”
Several councilors were shocked to hear this. Several years ago, the underground city attacked the human city, and the king asked the Magic Council for help. Naturally, the Magic Council sent the Ancient Knights to help clear up the chaos.
As a result, all the fully armed ancient knights who went to conquer the enemy were buried there. In order to avoid causing heavy losses, they retreated and even planned to use the power of magic elves to resolve the issue.
But King Orario disagreed. After all, it was someone else’s country, and the Magic Council could not act arbitrarily, otherwise the entire continent would have a crisis of confidence in the Magic Council.
Now the problem was solved by one person, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
Since he was able to solve that problem, his strength is likely comparable to the Ten Holy Mages.
“What an incredible young man!”
Chapter 38: Purely Accidental (Old Version)
“I really came to Fairy Tail.”
In front of the Fairy Tail Guild, Lucy looked at the Fairy Tail Guild in front of her with a look of joy on her face.
She finally arrived at the Fairy Tail Guild she had always dreamed of.
“Welcome to Fairy Tail.”
Hubby welcomed Lucy’s arrival.
Linley looked at Fairy Tail in front of him. It was the first time he had been away from Fairy Tail for half a year. Coming back again, he felt very nostalgic.
Natsu stepped forward and kicked the door open.
With a ferocious look on his face, he shouted, “I’m back!!”
Linley also raised his hand and said hello: “I’m back!!”
“Oh! It’s Linley! Linley is back!”
“Welcome back! Linley!”
“Linley! Welcome back!”…
When everyone in the guild saw Lin Lei coming back, they all greeted him.
“Linley, you are truly worthy of being me! You caused such a big commotion right after you came back. You destroyed more than half of the Hargeon port. This incident even made the news…”
Before Krov could finish his words, a foot flew up and kicked Krov in the face.
“You bastard! The news about the fire dragon is actually fake!!”
He had been suppressing his anger ever since he heard from Lin Lei how it was possible for a fire dragon to appear on the city streets. It was this bastard who told him the news about the fire dragon, and he would teach this bastard a lesson when he returned.
“Woooaa! How do I know the news is fake? I just heard it!”
Krov explained but Natsu ignored him, this bastard made him sit on the train for so long, he must teach this guy who gave him false information a lesson.
When others saw this, they also joined in the fun. They loved watching fights and the like.
Linley came to Mira and opened his arms to hug her. “Long time no see. I missed you so much, little Mira!”
Mira pointed her finger at Lin Lei’s forehead, not letting him succeed. She snorted in dissatisfaction, “Hmph! You still remember to come back? I haven’t heard from you in half a year. I thought you were like that uncle and got married and won’t come back.”
“How could that be?! My loyalty to you, Xiaomila, is clear to all! It’s just that the mission is a bit troublesome. I have been working very hard on the mission for the past six months just to be able to come back and reunite with you, Xiaomila, as soon as possible.”
Mira’s face changed when she heard this: “Trouble?! Is it dangerous?! Are you okay?!” Mira hurriedly checked Lin Lei carefully.
Even though Linley was very powerful, he was on a ten-year mission after all, and it was an extremely dangerous one. All the wizards who had taken on this ten-year mission had failed.
Linley shook his head. “It’s alright. Don’t you know my strength? No danger can stop me!”
Mira patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: “Don’t take risks like this in the future.”
“I’m sorry for making you worry. I promise it won’t happen again.”
Linley held Mira’s hand, and Mira’s face immediately turned slightly red.
While Linley and Mira were being affectionate with each other, a fight broke out in the guild. Originally, it was just Natsu chasing after Croft, but then more and more people were involved, and finally almost the entire guild was involved.
He even started preparing to use magic, which scared Lucy who had just arrived.
At this time, the majestic voice of President Makarov rang out in the guild:
“Don’t stop! You idiots!!”
A giant with a head that reached the ceiling of the second floor appeared in the guild.
“It’s so huge!!”
Lucy stared at the huge giant in amazement.
Everyone in the guild also stopped.
“Ahahahahaha!! You’re all so scared, so I win this match…”
Natsu laughed with his hands on his hips.
Before he could finish his words, Makarov stepped on him.
“Eh …
Lucy was shaking with fear.
“President, long time no see, I missed you so much!”
When Linley saw Makarov’s eyes light up, he immediately greeted him with a grin.
“President?!”
Lucy didn’t expect that this giant was actually the president of Fairy Tail.
“Oh! Lin Lei? You’re finally back! Is this the new guy?”
“Yes… yes…”
Lucy answered cautiously.
Makarov’s figure began to shrink rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he shrank from a giant about ten meters tall to a short old man less than one meter tall.
“So small——!”
Lucy was stunned.
“Please take care of me!”
Makarov raised his hand and greeted Lucy, then jumped hard and jumped onto the railing on the second floor.
He raised a thick stack of papers in his hand and said, “Come on! Take a look at how many documents were sent over from the Council. Take a good look at what stupid things you have done recently.”
“First, Gray.”
“ah?”
Gray had a very tough expression on his face, he didn’t remember what trouble he had gotten into.
“There was nothing wrong with the location when you captured the smuggling gang, but after the incident, why were you walking around naked on the street? In the end, you even stole someone’s underwear that was hung outside and ran away!”
Being publicly executed, Gray’s toughness disappeared and his expression became extremely awkward: “Ah… not that… being naked is not good.”
Elfman complained: “Then don’t be naked.”
Makarov glanced at Elfman and sighed, “Ah! Elfman!! You actually used violence against your own protection while performing your mission.”
Elfman scratched his cheek and explained, “Because he said that men should be judged by their education…”
Makarov shook his head and continued reading:
“Kana, you falsely reported your budget and went to a tavern to drink fifteen barrels of wine, and you still reported your budget to the Council.”
“Loki, you provoked the granddaughter of Councillor Reggie. A certain entertainment agency also asked you to compensate them for their losses.”
“Then Natsu, you wiped out the Devin thieves, but destroyed seven houses. You also knocked down the historic clock tower in the village of Joli. You burned down all the churches in Phrygia and destroyed part of the city of Rubinus. The Nalina Valley Observatory had to stop operating due to the collapse.”
Lucy was dumbfounded when she heard this. Natsu had actually caused so much trouble. Almost everything written in the book was done by Natsu.
“And Linley, you haven’t been back for half a year, and when you came back you destroyed half of the Hargeon port, and all you did was to deal with a little wizard?!”
Linley immediately argued, “It was an accident. It was a complete accident! I just saw that bastard pretending to be from Fairy Tail trying to escape. I was so angry that I used too much force without realizing it.”
Chapter 39: Glory (Old Version)
Makarov rolled his eyes when he heard this. I would never believe you. Who could run away from you?
“Arzak, Levi, Krove, Lidas, Valen, Bisca…”
“You guys… caused my teacher to be scolded by the judges…”
Seeing the president angry, the guild suddenly became a little depressing.
Suddenly, Makarov changed the subject:
“But… let those reviewers eat shit.”
Makarov lit the document and threw it down. When Natsu saw it, he immediately jumped up and grabbed it like a puppy.
“Listen carefully! All extraordinary powers are born from common sense. Magic is not a miracle power, but a manifestation of the Qi in our bodies that matches the wavelengths of Qi in nature.”
“If you care about what the people above you think, you won’t be able to make progress in the way of magic. Don’t be afraid of those fools on the review committee. Just move forward in the path you believe in.”
“This is the Fairy Tail wizard!!!”
“Oooooohhhhhhhhh!!”
Everyone in the guild cheered loudly, the oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and everyone was laughing. This atmosphere also infected Lucy. She then felt that the Fairy Tail Guild was as free and joyful as she had imagined.
“Brat! Give me a detailed report on this work.”
In the Wizard’s Guild, all tasks above S level must be reported after completion. Of course, some noteworthy matters must also be reported based on judgment.
The main purpose is to enrich the database so that if the same or similar incidents occur in the future, we will not be at a loss.
Linley began to report his mission in detail to Makarov. Although it took Linley nearly half a year to complete it, ten minutes was enough.
Makarov’s expression couldn’t help but become very serious after listening to this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I never thought this ten-year mission would be so dangerous. No wonder it has the highest mortality rate. If it continues for another ten years, the difficulty may be comparable to that of a hundred-year mission.”
He also understood that the monsters in this mission were not particularly powerful, but each individual was not weak. They had powerful strength and defense, as well as dangerous means of attack such as acid and self-destruction. Even a powerful wizard could not withstand it.
Especially since the number of monsters is endless, if the wizard’s magic power is exhausted, only death awaits him.
In addition, the most dangerous thing is not the monsters, but the environment. No one can imagine that the deepest part of the dungeon is 10,000 meters below the ground. It is a veritable underground kingdom.
Even the magical elves of the Magic Council cannot strike that deep underground.
If it weren’t for Lin Lei, if those monsters were allowed to rush out, it might have brought a devastating disaster to that country and several surrounding countries.
Makarov patted Linley on the shoulder and said, “You did a great job. Thank you for your hard work.”
In his eyes, the only one in Fairy Tail who could accomplish this task was Linley, not even Gildarts.
In that environment, Gildarts’ magic makes him very passive.
This mission was so dangerous, and he had to stay in a dark place for half a year. Even if Lin Lei gave up, no one would say anything, but Lin Lei insisted on completing it.
Hearing Makarov’s words, Linley was very excited. Ever since he came to Fairy Tail, the president had been taking good care of him. Being praised by the old man, he felt a sense of honor as if he were praised by his father. However, he smiled indifferently and said, “What’s the big deal? I’m just completing my own mission.”
“Good boy!”
Ever since Gildarts went on the Hundred Year Quest, Linley had become the pillar of the guild, completing one S-rank quest after another, greatly increasing the reputation of Fairy Tail.
With a big reputation, naturally there were more troubles. Some dark guilds that disliked Fairy Tail attacked Fairy Tail members, and then these dark guilds disappeared silently. Gradually, no one dared to target Fairy Tail members anymore.
Makarov knew that all the forces that targeted Fairy Tail were dealt with by Linley.
Later, young children such as Erza, Mira, and Mistgun rose to prominence, and now Natsu is the most powerful “Fire Dragon” in the Kingdom of Fiore, making Fairy Tail extremely popular.
“Lin Lei! Come over here and have a drink!”
“Come and tell us what a ten-year mission looks like?!”
“Yeah! Let’s hear it!”
Many people shouted at Lin Lei that for 90% of the people in the guild, they might never be able to access an S-level mission in their lifetime, let alone a ten-year mission that was far more difficult than an S-level mission.
“Here I come! President, I’ll go first.”
Makarov waved his hand: “Okay, go ahead!”
Lin Lei quickly went over and sat down. After Lin Lei went over, many people in the guild gathered around him. They all wanted to know what Lin Lei had experienced during his six months away. After all, it was the first time that Lin Lei had been on a mission for so long.
After two glasses of wine, Linley began to describe the process of this mission. He exaggerated the process to make it seem very tense and exciting, causing many people in the guild to shout and scream.
At this time, a childish voice sounded.
“My dad hasn’t come back yet?”
Linley looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little boy of about five or six years old standing in front of Makarov.
“That’s… Romeo? He’s grown so tall in half a year.”
Linley recognized the little boy as Macao’s son. Macao’s wife ran away, and since then Macao has been raising Romeo alone.
After all, I need to work and don’t have time to take care of him, so I often bring Romeo to the guild and ask everyone in the guild to help take care of him.
Makao was very popular, and there were many members in the guild, so they would naturally help look after the children when they had time. Lin Lei had also looked after the children.
Chapter 40: My Own Path (Old Version)
“Stop it, Romeo. You are the wizard’s child. You should trust your father and wait for him to come back home.”
Makarov said calmly.
“But…but…he clearly said he would be home in three days, and now it’s been a week and he still hasn’t come back. Makao went to work in Huckleberry Hill, which is not far from here. Please help me find him! I’m so worried about him!!”
Romeo was obviously a little anxious after not seeing his father Macao for a week.
“Stop making trouble!! Your father is a wizard!! This guild doesn’t need a wizard who helps clean up its mess!! Go home and drink your milk!!”
Makarov yelled at Romeo.
“Bad guy!!”
Romeo jumped up in anger and punched Makarov in the face, then ran out of the guild crying.
“What’s wrong with Macao?” Linley asked in confusion.
Gray said, “A week ago, Makao accepted the mission to destroy the ferocious demon beast Valken, and he hasn’t returned yet. He must have run into some trouble.”
“Why did he suddenly accept this mission?”
Wakaba took a puff of his cigarette and said, “I know that. Some other kids laughed at Macao for being just a drunkard. Romeo argued with them and wanted Macao to do some difficult tasks to prove himself. Macao took the task in order to make Romeo proud.”
Because of Romeo, Macao has never done any high-risk work, and in order to ensure that he can go home every day, the work Macao can do is very limited, and they are all some small tasks nearby.
Whenever Wakaba thinks of this, he can’t help but sigh. Before this, Makao was also an adventurous wizard full of vigor and vitality.
Natsu inserted the task he had just accepted into the commission column.
“Hey!! Natsu!! You broke the commission bar!”
Nob yelled at Natsu, but Natsu ignored him and said nothing, picking up his luggage and leaving the guild.
“Natsu!” Happy saw it and quickly chased after him.
“President, there’s something wrong with that Natsu kid? Is he trying to save Makao?”
“You are still immature after all. Doing that will only hurt Makao’s self-esteem.”
Hearing this, Makarov took a sip from his pipe and said, “It doesn’t matter. You have to choose your own path. It’s up to you to choose how you want to go.”
Lin Lei knew that the old man was just being tough on the outside, and he was obviously more worried than anyone else.
Since Natsu has gone there, nothing should be a problem. He remembered that Makao was the fourth generation president of Fairy Tail, and his life was not so short.
As for Natsu, he probably reacted so strongly because he thought of his father.
The incident between Romeo and Natsu was just a small episode, and the guild soon became lively again.
In the evening, the guild closed.
“Ugh~~~!”
Lin Lei leaned against the wall and vomited. It had been a long time since he last saw everyone in the guild, so Lin Lei was very happy and drank a few more glasses.
Even though his body is as strong as a monster now, he will still vomit if he drinks too much.
“You are such a fool. You just came back and you drink so much.”
Mira complained as she patted Linley’s back, trying to make him feel more comfortable.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just drank a few too many glasses. I’ll be fine after I vomit.”
After vomiting, Lin Lei felt much better. Mira put Lin Lei’s arm on her shoulders, supported Lin Lei, and walked towards her home.
At night, Linley and Mira were both feeling more reunited after a short separation. Their longing and love for each other turned into a tide, one wave after another, and it took a long time for them to subside.
Linley gently stroked Mira’s smooth back.
“I’m sorry! Mira, I made you worry this time.”
Mira leaned her head against Linley’s chest and said, “I was once a wizard, too. I understand you, and I believe you will return safely.”
Linley felt warm at heart when he heard Mira’s words. Mira was pretty, cute, and considerate. She was hundreds of times better than the one he had before.
If this was just a dream he had before dying after being struck by lightning, he hoped he would never wake up.
In order to protect Mira and the guild, he has to become stronger.
“How long will you stay in the guild this time?”
Mira raised her head and looked into Lin Lei’s eyes and asked. Lin Lei had spent most of the past three years on missions or training outside. He had spent very little time in the guild, and he and Mira were rarely together.
“I won’t leave after I come back this time.”
“Not leaving?!”
Linley nodded. “Well, I won’t leave. I’ve been away for the past few years. It’s time for me to take a good rest and spend more time with you.”
“real?!”
Linley scratched Mira’s nose and said, “Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you? I don’t want to be like the teacher and Makao, who were so obsessed with work that they drove their wives away.”
Mira blushed: “Who is your wife? We are not married yet.”
“We are already like this, and you are not my wife? As for marriage, we will get married after we find Lisanna! Our wedding cannot be without her!”
“Lisanna… Is Lisanna really still alive?”
Two years ago, she went on a mission with her brother and sister, but an accident occurred and Lisanna disappeared. She and Elfman both thought that Lisanna was dead, but Linley said that Lisanna was not dead, because she did not see Lisanna’s body, so she was not sure.
“Lisanna must still be alive. I already have some clues. I believe it won’t be long before I can find her back.”
Lucy has joined the guild, which means the storyline has already begun. He can’t remember the details, but he still knows the general idea.
According to the plot, Lisanna is now in the Fairy Tail Guild in Edlas, so he can go to Edlas and bring Lisanna back when the time comes.
He now misses that quirky sister.
Chapter 41: A Random Attack (Old Version)
The next evening, Natsu and Lucy returned to the guild with a bruised Makao.
Macao was inevitably teased by everyone, but when they saw that Macao was safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A week passed in a flash. Every day, Lin Lei either drank, chatted and boasted in the guild, or spent every day with Mira and kissed each other. His life was simple but fulfilling.
Lin Lei was really bored after six months of darkness and monster-killing days. He wanted to relax and indulge himself. As for work, he had made a lot of money from practicing and working in the past few years.
Especially the last ten-year mission, the reward was 120 million, plus what he earned before, the interest earned in the bank would be enough for his lifetime expenses.
It was impossible for him to work, since he was too lazy to do so in the short term anyway.
He is not short of money now, but what he lacks is the invincible power to sweep away everything.
According to Teacher Kaido, when the body and mind are strong enough to match the power of the devil fruit, they will “awaken”.
In the last six months of crazy fighting, he has honed his body and the power of the fruit to perfection.
The only thing missing was his mind, soul, or rather his will. He already felt that he was just one step away from awakening.
But this kick can hold back countless strong men.
In fact, the practice of magic is the same, just like what the old man said a week ago, if you care about the thoughts of those above you, you will not be able to make progress in the way of magic.
What he needs to do most now is to understand his own heart and release his own nature. “Awakening” is not only an awakening of ability, but also a baptism of body and mind.
He has experienced various forms of modern education, and he no longer knows what his true nature is. This is destined to be a long and uncertain practice.
The best way is to have no other way, just do everything as your heart desires. Maybe one day you will wake up and realize it.
“Lin Lei!! Come and fight me for the victory!!!”
Natsu jumped onto the table and challenged Linley.
“Hey, hey! Natsu! Don’t be impulsive! Do you want to die?!”
“That’s right! Natsu! Linley is a super monster! You’d better not make things difficult for yourself!”
“Natsu! You are overestimating yourself!”
Natsu felt very unhappy when he heard that no one around him was optimistic about him: “Shut up you bastards! I am different now than I was before, Linley! Come and fight me!!”
Natsu continued to challenge Linley.
Seeing Natsu’s serious expression, Linley smiled and said, “Okay! I accept your challenge.”
“Ooooooh!”
“Linley actually accepted Natsu’s challenge!”
“Now it’s time to watch something interesting!!”…
Everyone in the guild became excited when they heard that Linley agreed to fight Natsu.
Needless to say, Linley is an S-class wizard of Fairy Tail. He showed S-class strength as soon as he joined the guild. He is an extremely powerful monster.
Over the years, he has completed one difficult S-level mission after another, and recently completed a ten-year mission.
Many people already think that Linley is the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild.
Natsu is now the most famous wizard in the Kingdom of Fiore, the ‘Fire Dragon’. A few years ago, Natsu’s strength was not obvious, and his level was not much different from that of other wizards in the guild.
In recent years, as Natsu’s magical training has deepened and his magic power has increased, the advantages of dragon-slaying magic have gradually become apparent.
This is also the main reason why Natsu has become the most popular wizard in the Kingdom of Fiore.
For a magician, only powerful strength can make him stand out.
In the Fairy Tail Guild, Natsu is recognized as having strength second only to an S-class wizard. If he gets serious, he can even burst out with strength comparable to an S-class wizard.
Moreover, ‘Thor’ and ‘Fire Dragon’ are the two most powerful people in the Kingdom of Fiore nowadays. How exciting would it be to see the battle between these two people?
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the guild. Lucy happened to arrive at the guild at this time, and she became curious when she saw everyone in the guild gathered here.
He quickly came over and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? What are you doing?”
Mira smiled and replied, “Linley and Natsu will have a one-on-one duel.”
“A showdown? Really?! Why?! Aren’t they on good terms?!”
Even though Lucy had only recently joined the guild, she could tell that Linley and Natsu had a very good relationship.
Gray said, “It was Natsu who challenged Linley, and Linley accepted. This idiot is really brave! He will definitely suffer soon.”
“Come on, Natsu! You must hold out a few more moves this time! Don’t be killed in one move again!”
“Yeah! Natsu! You have to last at least ten moves this time!”
“Natsu! Come on! I’m rooting for you! If you can remain undefeated for one minute, you’ve already won.”…
“You bastards! Are you trying to cheer me up again?!”
Natsu grinned at the people around him. These bastards told him to cheer them on, but in the end, none of them thought highly of him.
“Why? Why does everyone look down on Natsu? Natsu is very strong!”
This week Lucy teamed up with Natsu, and she had seen how powerful Natsu was, so strong that he seemed to be on par with a monster, and although she had also seen Linley use magic in a terrifying way, it didn’t seem so powerful that she had no chance of winning.
Happy said, “That’s because you haven’t seen Linley’s true strength. At Hargeon Harbor, that was just a casual attack from Linley.”
Chapter 42: A Long-Awaited Showdown (Old Version)
“A random attack?!”
Lucy was shocked when she heard what Happy said, a casual blow destroyed half of the Hargeon port, how much damage would a serious blow cause.
Linley looked at Natsu and smiled, “When was the last time we fought? It was three years ago. Now that I think about it, I really miss it.”
Ever since he and Gildarts had a century duel, Natsu has never challenged himself again. Three years have passed in a flash.
“I was still young then, but things are different now!! I must beat you today!!”
Three years ago, he had witnessed the battle between Linley and Gildarts. It was then that he realized how huge the gap in strength between himself and Linley was. With such a huge gap, his challenge was meaningless.
From then on, he began to practice hard, with the goal of catching up with and surpassing Lin Lei.
“Oh? Then I want to see how much progress you have made recently. You’re welcome, just come over!”
Linley hooked his palm towards Natsu.
“Don’t worry, I won’t show mercy!”
Makarov announced the start.
“Here I come! Linley!!”
Natsu’s hands ignited with flames, and he stomped his feet hard and rushed towards Linley.
Natsu rushed to Linley at top speed, and punched Linley in the face with his fist wrapped in flames.
Linley stood where he was and raised his hand.
Linley blocked Natsu’s fist steadily.
“Well, the power has grown a lot, and the dragon-slaying magic is indeed powerful.”
Dragon-slaying magic is a magic that transforms a human’s physique into that of a dragon. As the practice of magic becomes more and more advanced, the dragon-slaying magician’s physique will be greatly enhanced, and he can even withstand bullets.
However, after Lin Lei ate the Thunder Fruit, his physique also changed to an inhuman level. Coupled with hard training, his physical fitness was also monstrous.
“This is just the beginning!”
Natsu raised his foot and kicked Linley in the face. Linley grabbed Natsu’s leg and spun his arm quickly.
“Wooooooooooooooo!!”
Natsu felt like his head was spinning.
Linley let go and Natsu was thrown out.
“Damn it! The roar of the fire dragon!”
Natsu opened his mouth and spewed a violent stream of flames at Linley.
Linley stretched out his palms.
“Lightning!”
Linley’s palms emitted lightning, which was then converted into light and heat, which could offset any energy attack.
The impact of the energy explosion spread around.
“Hot, hot, hot!!”
The people around quickly dodged backwards.
Natsu rushed out from the explosion and rushed in front of Lin Lei, punching him in the face.
“Got it!”
Natsu had a delighted look on his face.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit Natsu right on top.
“Uooaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Natsu screamed and was knocked to the ground.
Linley squatted down and looked at Natsu lying on the ground and said, “You still want to attack? Have you forgotten my perception ability?”
“Not yet… not yet…”
Natsu struggled to stand up and continue fighting with Linley.
Before Natsu could finish his words, Linley’s finger had already touched Natsu’s forehead.
“Eh——?”
“10,000 volts! Discharge!”
Natsu’s eyes rolled back and he passed out.
“KO!!”
Makarov announced the result of the duel: “The winner! Linley!!”
“Oooooohhhhhhh!!”
“As expected of Linley! His strength is still as terrifying as ever!”
“man!!”
Elfman shouted excitedly. Lin Lei was his brother-in-law and he admired Lin Lei very much.
“It’s over so quickly!!”
Lucy teamed up with Natsu. Knowing how powerful Natsu was, she thought it would be a fierce battle, but she didn’t expect it to be over so quickly.
Gray chuckled and said, “It’s been long enough. You know, when Linley first joined the guild, Natsu was killed instantly.”
President Makarov saw more. Natsu’s strength was obvious to all. Although Natsu did not fight seriously, the strength he exerted was also very strong.
But even so, Natsu was teased like a child in front of Linley, and Linley didn’t even have the huge advantage of using his own magic.
There was no doubt that Linley’s combat skills had become extremely high, a world of difference compared to when he first joined the guild.
The most important point is that from the beginning of the battle until now, Lin Lei has not even moved a single step. This is too terrifying.
This means that Linley, this brat, is now even stronger than he was three years ago.
When Gildarts said that Linley would surpass him in a few years, he did not believe it at the time. But looking at Linley’s current strength, he might have really surpassed Gildarts.
Makarov was very shocked when he thought of this, but considering the degree of perversion of this little pervert, it seemed that this was not impossible.
After all, three years ago, Linley was already able to use such a powerful move. Three years later, no one knew how strong he had become.
I really don’t know how terrifying this brat will be if he uses his full strength.
However, the stronger this little pervert Lin Lei is, the better. He will be attending the regular meeting tomorrow and can brag to those old guys again.
His mood improved when he thought of the envious and jealous looks on the faces of those old guys.
Chapter 43 Lin Lei’s Daily Life (Old Version)
Natsu woke up after a while. The voltage released by Linley might be fatal to ordinary people, but to a wizard, especially Natsu, the dragon slayer wizard, it did not cause much damage.
Even if Natsu’s body was covered in flames at that time, there might not be any impact at all.
“Damn it! I lost again!”
Natsu looked unwilling.
Gray complained, “You really want to beat that monster!”
“certainly!!”
Natsu answered simply.
Gray smacked his lips and said, “Sometimes I really envy your enthusiasm.”
Although he did not participate in the S-rank exam three years ago, he learned some specific details from Cana, Elfman and Erza.
The century-long duel between Gildarts and Linley was extremely terrifying.
The master is a monster, and the apprentice is also a monster.
Although Natsu and he had grown in strength rapidly in the past three years, he had no confidence that he could withstand the Linley of three years ago.
Linley’s speed, strength, and magical power were all far beyond expectations.
Not to mention Lin Lei three years later. Only the monster itself knows how powerful this monster has become.
“Damn it! Looks like I need to train even harder! Next time I will definitely defeat Linley!”
After saying this, Natsu hurriedly ran home to practice.
Linley looked at Natsu’s back with mixed feelings. For him, he would hesitate if he was not sure about something, and would not do anything without any possibility.
But Natsu is different. No matter he is unsure or has no possibility, he will do anything rashly. This is very similar to his past self, which is why he hates Natsu.
But he also envied Natsu’s indomitable spirit. This guy didn’t seem to know what despair was, and he would quickly cheer up after losing.
“It’s really annoying!”
Three days passed in a flash.
“Lin Lei, I want to do this mission.”
A Fairy Tail wizard placed the request form in front of Linley.
Linley took a look and saw that it was a simple subjugation mission with a reward of 30,000 J. It was one of the lowest paid subjugation missions and was about as difficult as clearing out some wild beasts and monsters around the farm.
This kind of mission is somewhat dangerous for ordinary people, but for the wizards in the guild, there is almost no danger.
30,000 J is roughly equivalent to RMB 1,500. As long as you are a little diligent, it is easy to earn over RMB 10,000 a month in the Wizard Guild.
However, many people in the Wizard Guild are a bunch of drunkards and lazy people. They won’t go to work unless they have no money in their pockets.
If I really run out of money, I will go out to work, and then come back to continue living a carefree life.
Linley registered: “Okay, got it. Let’s go.”
Mira smiled when she saw him and said, “Lin Lei, it looks like you’ve gotten used to this job.”
“I’m used to it, but it’s a bit monotonous. Fortunately, Mira is by my side, so I won’t be bored.”
The president went to attend a local regular meeting the day before yesterday, which would take a week. Seeing that Lin Lei had nothing to do all day, he assigned Lin Lei a task.
While he was at the meeting, Lin Lei was the acting guild president, handling the guild’s affairs.
Linley had no objection to this. He was in the guild every day eating, drinking, and having fun with Mira. The job of the acting president was just to register the missions and judge whether the wizard who took the job was capable of completing the mission and how dangerous it would be to complete the mission.
There are only about a dozen or twenty people working in the guild every day, so most of the time is very idle, no different from usual.
Of course, there are some guys who always find something to do, like Natsu and Gray in front of them.
“You stinky fire user!”
“You naked pervert!”
Natsu and Gray started fighting again for some unknown reason. This kind of thing was too common, like a family routine, and it happened almost every day as long as these two guys were in the guild.
I found it interesting at first, but it got boring and annoying after watching it for a while.
“I’m angry!!”
Gray strikes a pose that does some modeling magic.
“bring it on!!”
Natsu also had flames on his hands.
The two men rushed towards each other.
Linley’s figure instantly appeared between the two men, with his index fingers pointing at their foreheads.
Blue-white lightning was released in front of Linley’s fingers.
“Uooooaaaaaah!”
The two men screamed and fell straight to the ground.
“Can’t you two just calm down a bit?”
Fighting in the guild is fine, even if you get beaten so badly that your own mother doesn’t recognize you. But using magic is not allowed. The destructive power of magic is too strong, and the entire guild can be destroyed if you are not careful.
The guild had been destroyed many times in the past because of fights, so there was a rule prohibiting the use of magic in combat within the guild.
And this is Lin Lei’s daily routine as acting president.
The door of the guild was opened, and a man rushed in and shouted in horror:
“Oh no! Erza is back!!”
“Erusa is back?!”
Everyone in the guild seemed to be frightened, as if some monster was coming. There was a commotion, causing Lucy, the newbie, to panic.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Happy said: “Erusa…so scary…”
Soon, heavy footsteps were heard, and a figure with a huge monster’s horn on his shoulder walked in from the guild gate.
The person who came had dazzling long red hair, a beautiful and delicate face, and was wearing a set of armor that shone with a silver metallic luster. He looked heroic and very capable. People would be impressed at first sight and it would be hard to forget him.
It was Erza Shukalet, the S-class wizard of Fairy Tail, also known as the ‘Fairy Queen’.
“So beautiful!”
Chapter 44: Let’s Destroy It (Old Version)
The first time Lucy saw Erza, she was stunned by her beauty.
Whether it is the blood-red long hair, the exquisite and beautiful face, or the heroic temperament, they are all envied and desired by countless girls.
“I’m back. Is the president here?”
Erza lowered her horn and looked around before asking.
Mira walked over and said, “Welcome back, Erza, the president has gone to the regular meeting.”
“I see!”
One of them asked cautiously, “Miss… Erza, what is that huge thing?”
“Hmm? This, this is the horn of the demon I defeated. The locals gave it to me as a decoration. Because I thought it was beautiful, I brought it back as a local specialty. Is it a hindrance?”
“No no no, that’s not happening!!”
The person being asked was startled and quickly waved his hands.
“A demon-killing horn… huh?”
“So amazing…”
“As expected of Erza.”
One horn is already so huge, so how terrifying would the monster being conquered be? To a monster, the bigger the horn, the more dangerous it is.
At this time, Erza’s smile faded and her expression became serious: “Compared to this, you guys are just causing trouble again. Even if the president forgives you, I will not forgive you.”
After hearing Erza’s words, the atmosphere in the guild suddenly became tense.
“Kana, why are you drinking in that position? You don’t act like a girl at all. Pidgita, if you want to dance, go outside. Wakaba, you should flick your cigarette ashes in the ashtray instead of on the table. Nob, are you still wandering around in front of the bulletin board like usual? Go to work.”
“Gray…you don’t even wear underwear now?”
Gray looked down and found that his underwear had been taken off by Natsu at some point during the fight with him, and now he was completely naked down there.
“Ah! My panties!”
Gray came up to Lucy and said, “Lucy, can I borrow a pair of underwear…”
“I won’t lend it to you!!”
Lucy screamed and punched Gray.
“Really, it’s really worrying. I won’t say much today.”
Lucy complained, “Is she the discipline committee member?”
Erza looked at Linley and said, “Linley, I haven’t seen you for half a year, and you’ve caused such a big commotion right after you came back. You really haven’t changed at all.”
Linley was also a little embarrassed: “It was an accident, purely an accident. Erza is becoming more and more beautiful.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Well, enough pleasantries, Linley. I heard about some troublesome things on my way back. I should have asked the president to make the decision, but since the president is not here, it’s no different for me to discuss it with you.” Erza was smiling one second and her face turned serious the next.
“Hmm? What kind of trouble did you run into?”
Seeing Erza’s serious expression, the guild also quieted down. It was obvious that anything that could be said to be troublesome by Erza, an S-class wizard, was definitely not a trivial matter.
“It’s like this…”
Erza began to narrate what had happened to her. On her way back from the mission, she stopped by a bar in Onibas where many wizards gathered.
In the bar, she accidentally overheard other people’s conversation, and because the noise was so loud, it naturally attracted her attention.
The content of the conversation was that they were going to unlock the seal of a magic called ‘Larabai’. Originally, she just regarded this as an ordinary task.
There are many missions like this in the Wizard Guild, so she didn’t take it seriously at first.
Until she remembered the name Eli Gore.
“Eligor?!”
Many people in the guild couldn’t help but change their expressions when they heard this name.
“Who is it?”
Lucy was confused, she had just joined the guild and didn’t know much about the wizarding world.
Mira said with a serious face: “The ace of the Mage Guild Iron Forest, the God of Death Eligore.”
“Death…Death?!”
Lucy was startled.
“Because the commissions he accepted were all assassination-related jobs, hence the name.”
“The original Council’s rules prohibited assassination commissions, but Iron Forest chose to focus on money, so it was expelled from the regular guild alliance six years ago, and the president was also arrested. Now Iron Forest has been classified as a dark guild.”
“Dark Guild?!!”
Although Lucy is still a newbie, she has learned these days that in addition to regular guilds like Fairy Tail, there is also a group of organizations called dark guilds, which are lawless evil organizations.
Hubby said, “Lucy, you are so juicy!!”
Lucy: “That’s sweat!!”
Mira continued, “If it is a magic that even the God of Death Eligore desires, it must be a very dangerous magic. Erza’s concerns are justified.”
Linley stroked his chin and said, “Well… if that’s the case, then let’s destroy the Iron Forest.”
Dark guilds are not a good thing. Although the animation looks like an immortal comic, in fact, many people died, but they were downplayed by the author and even whitewashed later.
However, killers like Eligore, the God of Death, who specialize in assassinations, deserve to be put to death.
Erza nodded: “I thought so too, so I would like to ask for your help.”
“Eh eh——?!”
Lucy didn’t expect that Linley and Erza would sentence Iron Forest to death with just a few words.
Mira suddenly realized: “I see, if the opponent is just those guys, Erza can handle it alone, but if she has to deal with the entire guild…”
This time everyone in the guild knew why Erza asked Linley for help. It turned out that she wanted to destroy a guild. Indeed, although Erza was very powerful, it was still risky for her to destroy an entire wizard guild single-handedly.
“It’s settled. Meet at the train station tomorrow.”
Erza said and turned to leave the guild.
Chapter 45 I’ll Help You (Old Version)
Erza left the guild, and everyone in the guild was in an uproar.
Two people going to destroy a guild, this sounds very exciting.
Lucy, the newcomer, was even more frightened. She never thought that Linley and Erza would dare to destroy a wizard guild. This was too crazy.
But why aren’t other people in the guild worried at all?
“Ms. Mira, Linley and Ms. Erza are going to take on a guild alone. Why aren’t you worried?”
Lucy couldn’t help but ask her doubts.
Mira smiled and said, “Because they are Linley and Erza!”
What kind of answer is this?!
The next morning, Linley said goodbye to Mira and went to the train station.
“Sorry… kept you waiting?”
Linley looked up and saw Erza approaching with a cart full of luggage.
Seeing this, Linley couldn’t help but twitch his lips: “Erza, you are still the same as before. Every time you go out, your luggage is so spectacular.”
At this moment, a blue kitten poked its head out stealthily from behind a pillar not far away.
“It’s Linley and Erza. They’ve arrived.”
Then Lucy poked her head out and said, “By the way, why should I come along?”
Finally, Natsu popped his head out with an excited look on his face and said, “Aren’t we a team? And Linley and Erza are going to destroy a guild, don’t you want to go and see the fun?”
“Well… I think so, but we’re going to deal with a guild! What if we get discovered?”
When she heard Natsu say that he wanted to go with her, she followed him on a whim. But when she really wanted to go, she felt a little scared.
“It won’t be discovered.”
Suddenly! A voice sounded: “Oh? What if we are really discovered?”
“If we are really discovered, then…”
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy screamed in fear when they saw Linley’s face suddenly appear before them.
“Lin…Lin Lei?!”
“How did you find us?!”
Linley rolled his eyes speechlessly. “Have you forgotten my perception? Not to mention that you are at the train station, even if you are in the guild, you cannot escape my perception.”
“Ah! I forgot about that!”
Natsu covered his head with his hands. Then he remembered that Linley had a super abnormal ability, which was perception. He could clearly sense everyone’s magic power and position, and even his movements. Every time he challenged Linley, he suffered a great loss due to his super perception.
At this time, Erza also came over: “Natsu? Happy? And you, were you also in Fairy Tail yesterday?”
“Erusa!!”
Compared to Linley, Natsu and Happy are more afraid of Erza. Linley has a good personality and temper, like their big brother, who takes good care of them, while Erza really beats them to death.
“Hello, I’m new here, my name is Lucy, please give me your guidance.”
“I’m Erza, please give me your advice. It turns out that the new girl they were talking about is you. I also heard about you on the way. You defeated the mercenary gorilla and so on. You are very reliable.”
“Uh…Natsu defeated them all…”
This incident was reported in the newspaper. It was clearly Natsu who defeated her, but for some reason it was all blamed on her. She has explained this many times.
“So what are you doing hiding here?”
“Erza, I also want to go with you to destroy the Iron Forest Guild!”
Now that he was discovered, Natsu no longer planned to hide it and stated his purpose openly.
“Oh? Is that so? Then why don’t you just say no.”
“Eh——?! Aren’t you angry?!”
Natsu and Happy were both dumbfounded. They were both prepared to be beaten up by Erza.
“Angry?! Why are you angry?! You guys are also helping me out of kindness, I can’t thank you enough, but I think that Lin Lei and I are enough to deal with those guys, so I didn’t call anyone else. Since you want to go, then come along.”
“Very good!!”
Natsu and Happy jumped up in excitement.
“Haaaaaa! Haaaaaa! Ugh…”
As soon as the train started, Natsu’s motion sickness problem appeared, and he struggled with it with a painful look on his face.
“It’s always so uncomfortable.”
Lucy and Natsu have been a team for half a month, and she knows that Natsu is prone to transportation dizziness.
Linley shook his head helplessly. “You’re just asking for trouble. You’re carsick and you’re still here. Never mind. Let me help you. Give me your hand.”
Hearing this, Natsu placed his hand on Linley’s palm.
Crack——！ ！
Blue-white lightning lit up on Linley’s palm.
“Aaaaaaa——!”
Natsu screamed and then fainted from the electric shock.
Lucy and Happy were both startled.
“Yeah, that’s much better.”
Lucy complained in horror: “How can it be better? He has fainted!”
“Yeah! It won’t be uncomfortable if he faints, right? When he wakes up, he won’t feel anything at all. He can reach his destination after a good sleep.”
Erza agreed and said, “Well, Linley, you are the one who thinks things through.”
Chapter 46: Iron Forest (Old Version)
Lucy was speechless. She felt that her brain circuit could not keep up with the thoughts of these two people.
No, it’s that everyone in Fairy Tail is being too reckless, including Natsu.
“By the way, Iron Forest is a dark guild and they also accept assassination missions. Why doesn’t the Magic Council care? Isn’t the Magic Council an organization that manages wizards?”
Lucy asked the question that was in her mind. The Magic Council is responsible for managing crimes committed by wizards, such as the human trafficker Pola she met before, and the powerful man she and Natsu met some time ago. Although the other party is in a high position and has great power, they are wizards and are under the management of the Magic Council.
Erza nodded. “You are right. This matter is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Magic Council. However, there are too many dark guilds, and there are organizations and alliances between dark guilds. The Magic Council once organized a purge of dark guilds, but it ended up with a big backlash. The Magic Council branches stationed in various countries were destroyed. Since then, the Magic Council has not dared to act rashly.”
“Eh——?! If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be dangerous for us to go like this?!”
Lucy was a little scared again. There was actually an alliance between the dark guilds. If they destroyed the Iron Forest, wouldn’t they face revenge from the dark guild alliance?
“Indeed, but the Dark Guild has its own Dark Guild Alliance, and we regular guilds also have an alliance.”
“regular meeting!!!”
Lucy suddenly thought of the regular meeting of the local guild alliance that the president had recently attended.
“Yes! The Dark Guild has committed many evil deeds. The Magic Council does nothing about it. We cannot just stand by and watch. If there is no conflict on weekdays, we will ignore it. After all, even the alliance should try to avoid a full-scale exchange of fire. But once a conflict occurs, we will destroy them without hesitation! If the Dark Alliance dares to retaliate, then the regular guild alliance will not be a pushover!”
Having said that, Erza’s eyes revealed a fierce murderous intent.
Lucy’s heart was pounding.
Only then did Lucy understand that the Wizard’s Guild was not just about completing missions to make money to support itself, but also had the responsibility and obligation to protect people.
Perhaps it was because of the formal guild that she was able to live a peaceful life without feeling harassment or threats from the dark guild.
“The Magic Council is such a loser!”
She originally thought that the Magic Council was very powerful, but now it seems to be useless.
“That’s not the case. The Magic Council exists to maintain the balance and order of the magic world. Unless you have the ability to wipe out all the dark guilds in one go, it’s better not to intervene. In this way, it will just be a showdown between the Dark Guild Alliance and the Regular Guild Alliance. Once you intervene, it may cause greater chaos. The existence of the Magic Council is mainly for deterrence.”
Lucy is very smart and quickly understood what Erza said, but she still felt that the Magic Council was useless.
Linley was very familiar with the Magic Council. The biggest problem with this organization was that it did not have high-end combat power, yet loved to show off.
He remembered that in the later part of the plot, Hades’ Gate wiped out all the members of the Magic Council by himself, and as a result, the Magic Council became a headless fly.
The Magic Council gives people the feeling that any dog ​​passing by can slap the Magic Council twice.
The situation did not improve until later, when the Ten Holy Mages formed a council.
Anyway, at this moment he had neither good feelings nor bad feelings towards the Magic Council. As long as the Magic Council did not provoke him and Fairy Tail, he would not cause trouble for the Magic Council.
Iron Forest Guild
A magic four-wheeled vehicle stopped here. After several people got off at the Onibas train station, they easily found out the location of the Iron Forest Guild at the Wizard Bar.
“Is this the Iron Forest Guild? It looks so spooky and scary!”
Lucy looked at the bare branches around her and the black crows on the branches, which gave her a terrifying atmosphere.
The guild building in front is a bit dilapidated, and many broken parts have not been repaired, but you can still vaguely see that this guild was once glorious.
At this moment, Linley frowned.
“Well, what’s wrong, Lin Lei?”
Erza couldn’t help but ask when she saw the change in Linley’s expression.
Linley said, “It’s empty. There’s no one inside.”
He had just expanded the range of his mind network’s perception to include the Iron Forest Guild, and did not detect any human figures.
Erza ran in quickly, and sure enough, the place was empty, with no one in it.
The harpy also flew around the guild and didn’t see anyone.
Lucy asked in confusion: “What’s going on? Why is there no one here? Could this guild have been disbanded a long time ago?”
“No, there are obvious signs of life here, food residues, and warm water that has not yet completely cooled down. They must have just left not long ago.” Linley came to the conclusion after careful observation.
Erza said: “Let’s go to the city first. With so many people moving, someone will definitely see it.”
Several people immediately got on the magic four-wheeled vehicle and headed for the city. As soon as they arrived in the city, they heard a lot of people talking and the army was dispatched. The commotion came from the train station, where a lot of people had already gathered, and several people immediately rushed over.
Erza grabbed a train station employee and asked, “What happened here?!”
“Someone…someone hijacked the train!”
“A man with a scythe led a group of people into the train station and hijacked the train.”
“I know those people! They’re members of the nearby dark guild, Iron Forest!”
Chapter 47: Speed ​​(Old Version)
“Iron Forest!!”
Lucy and Happy exclaimed, this wasn’t exactly what they were looking for.
“Why would those people hijack a train? Trains can only run on tracks. Even if they hijack it, there’s no benefit, right?”
Lucy was very confused by this.
Happy said, “But the trains are fast! Is there anything they have to rush to do?”
Erza said with a serious face: “I have a bad feeling that this action may be related to the magic of ‘Larabai’ they obtained. Otherwise, it is very abnormal for a dark guild to mobilize all its members and hijack a train.”
“Larabai…Larabai…lullaby…sleep…death…”
Lucy suddenly began to mutter.
Happy looked at Lucy in confusion, “What’s wrong, Lucy?”
“Hmm… Ever since I first heard Erza say this name, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if I had seen it somewhere. Ah! I got it! I know what kind of magic Lalabai is!”
“What kind of magic is that?”
Erza asked anxiously.
“I’ve only read about it in books. Curse killing is one of the forbidden magics, right? Lalabai is a more terrifying magic than that – mass curse killing magic, the curse song!! I heard that anyone who hears the ‘curse song’ will die.”
Erza and Happy were furious. Mass curse magic, if that kind of thing got hold of by Eligore, who knows what dangerous things he would do.
“We can’t let ‘Curse Song’ fall into the hands of people like Eligore, let’s give chase!”
Lucy said: “They were on a train and it’s been so long since we caught up with them.”
“We have to chase them too! They got such dangerous magic, we have to stop them before they do anything!”
Erza seemed a little impatient. She didn’t expect that just because of her negligence, she would let such dangerous magic fall into the hands of the Dark Guild.
Linley patted Erza’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Erza. Leave this matter to me.”
Erza saw Linley’s smile and calmed down a little.
Linley looked at the staff and asked, “How long has the train been gone?”
The staff member replied: “It’s been about an hour.”
Linley nodded. “Well, an hour? Not bad.”
After saying this, Linley jumped onto the railroad tracks, flexed his fingers, and stretched his waist.
“Lin Lei, the train has already left for an hour. What are you going to do? There’s no way you can catch up with it!”
Lucy was puzzled when she saw Linley jumping onto the railroad tracks to stretch his muscles.
Linley smiled and said, “Well, if the train was running in other places, it might be a bit troublesome, but since the train is running on rails, this distance is nothing.”
“I’ll go take care of them all, you guys just come over slowly.”
As he spoke, blue-white lightning particles emanated from Linley’s body.
The next moment, Linley’s entire body turned into lightning and sank into the railroad track. He rushed out at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in an instant.
“Wh…what?!!”
Lucy was dumbfounded when she saw this scene. People actually turned into lightning. What kind of magic was this?
Originally, she saw that Natsu’s magic that could swallow fire was outrageous enough, but she didn’t expect that Linley’s magic seemed even more outrageous.
Erza’s eyes lit up as well. She had seen Linley transform into an element and teleport, but she had never thought that Linley could also transform into an element and move through the conductor of the railroad track. At the speed of lightning, it wouldn’t take long for him to catch up with the train.
“Let’s catch up.”
On the train.
All the people in the Iron Forest gathered here.
The god of death, Eligore, was playing with a three-eyed skull flute in his hand. “I never thought that the forbidden magic called ‘curse song’ was just a flute like this. This flute was originally just an ordinary curse-killing tool. The great black magician Zeref evolved it into a more advanced magic flute. Anyone who hears the sound of this flute will be cursed to death. This is the ‘mass curse magic’ curse song! !”
“Those damned superiors who arbitrarily deprive others of their power and do nothing but eat and eat, it’s time to announce the arrival of the Dark Ages. Let’s start with the death of those old men to open the prelude to this Dark Age! The era of our Iron Forest has arrived!!”
“Oooooohhhhhhhh!!”
Everyone in the Iron Forest Guild was excited; they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Ever since Iron Forest fell into the hands of a dark guild six years ago, they have been able to take on fewer and fewer missions, and most of the time they have nothing to do.
They had fallen from glory to this point in an instant, while those guilds were still prosperous. Naturally, they were filled with resentment and were thinking about revenge all the time.
However, their strength is not enough to compete with those regular guilds, and they are able to survive only because they joined the Dark Guild Alliance.
Now that they have obtained the “Curse Song”, they have a powerful weapon. As long as they kill all the presidents of those local guilds, their Iron Forest will become famous throughout the world.
At this moment, a person was seen standing on the train tracks in the front cab.
“There’s someone on the train tracks!”
“Don’t worry about him! He must be trying to commit suicide because his life is not going as he wants. We can help him do that! Speed ​​up! Smash him into pieces!!”
The person who spoke had an expression of cruel excitement on his face. Killing people was nothing to their dark guild.
Linley looked at the speeding train without changing his expression, a hint of a smile on his face, and slowly pulled out a coin from his pocket.
bite—-!
The coin bounced.
High-voltage lightning wrapped around Linley’s arm.
call out—-!!
An orange light streaked across the air. It was the coin moving too fast, rubbing against the atmosphere and burning, producing a light like a meteor.
Chapter 48: Single Guild Challenge (Old Version)
The orange light instantly hit the front of the train.
The locomotive quickly deformed, then was pierced, shattered, and exploded.
The powerful kinetic energy brought about an impact that destroyed the train like a whirlwind.
In just a moment, the entire train exploded and turned into fragments that splattered all around.
Before everyone in the Iron Forest in the train car could react, they were knocked unconscious by the powerful kinetic energy.
After a while, the members of the Iron Forest Guild gradually woke up.
“Wow! It hurts!”
“Damn it! What the hell is going on?! Why did the train break apart?!”
“What on earth just happened?!”…
Everyone in the Iron Forest woke up, but they were even more confused because the train they were riding on broke into pieces and they had no idea what had happened.
A slightly frivolous voice said, “Hey! Everyone from the Iron Forest! Good afternoon!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man standing not far in front of them, smiling and greeting them.
“It’s you!!”
The two members of the Iron Forest in the train cab saw Linley’s expression change drastically.
“What’s wrong? Do you know him?”
The two men pointed at Lin Lei with trembling fingers and said, “It was him! He was the one standing in front of the train just now, and then the train exploded!!”
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the Iron Forest also changed suddenly.
“Asshole! Are you the one who destroyed the train?!”
Eligore stood up with a grim look on his face. This time he was luckier and didn’t suffer any injuries.
But if I had been hit head-on by that attack just now, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn’t die.
Thinking about how he had failed to accomplish his great cause and had almost been killed in such an unclear manner, Eligor was extremely angry at the moment, and so were the other people in the Iron Forest Guild.
At this time, someone saw the seal of the Fairy Tail Guild behind Lin Lei.
He pointed his finger at Linley and shouted, “It’s the seal of Fairy Tail! He’s a wizard of Fairy Tail!!”
“Fairy Tail!”
“Damn it! It turned out to be those annoying flies from Fairy Tail!”
Eligore’s face darkened. Fairy Tail was the most popular guild recently. Many famous wizards appeared in the guild. However, the more eye-catching they were, the more annoying they were in the eyes of the people in their dark guild.
“Kill him!!”
Eligor gave the order. Although he didn’t know why this guy appeared here, at this critical moment, no matter who he was, anyone who got in his way should die.
Many people in the Iron Forest Guild immediately had magic weapons in their hands.
The magic swordsman is the most common magician, who uses magic swords to fight.
However, most of these wizards are small fry, but there are some powerful ones among them, such as Erza, who can combine swordsmanship and magic perfectly.
“kill!!!”
Many people raised their weapons and rushed towards Lin Lei.
Linley’s figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of the two Iron Forest mages.
He pointed his finger at the two men’s foreheads.
Lightning flowed from Linley’s fingers toward this person.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
The two people screamed in pain, then their eyes rolled back and they fell to the ground, fainting with their bodies burnt.
“Thunder magic?!”
Elemental magic is actually a relatively common magic, but being common does not mean that the magic is weak. On the contrary, the simpler and purer the elemental magic, the more powerful it is.
The lightning elemental magic is the strongest type of elemental magic.
Then lightning wrapped around Linley’s hands and feet, and he moved quickly, like a wolf among a flock of sheep, punching, kicking, or elbowing.
Lightning itself has powerful attack power, and coupled with Lin Lei’s powerful speed and strength, a random blow can cause serious injuries to the people in the Iron Forest if they don’t die. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were killed by Lin Lei.
“Quick! Use long-range magic!!”
Someone shouted anxiously.
Immediately, many people gathered magic power in their hands, and various energy mists emanated from their palms, and magic bullets were fired at Lin Lei one after another.
The magic bullet hit Linley, causing a huge explosion.
“Kill it!!”
Seeing the magic hit the target, everyone in the Iron Forest couldn’t help but show joy on their faces.
But soon, the smoke from the explosion dissipated, and Linley’s figure appeared intact in the same place.
“Who the hell is this guy?!”
Everyone in the Iron Forest was shocked and looked at Lin Lei in disbelief. The other party was hit by so many magical attacks but was not hurt at all. Where did this guy from Fairy Tail come from? This guy is definitely not an ordinary wizard.
Linley dusted himself off and said indifferently to the people of the Iron Forest, “How weak! Is this all the strength you guys in the Iron Forest have? You’re not even as strong as those ants!”
“You bastard! I’m here to fight you!!”
A man gathered magic in his hands and rushed towards Lin Lei.
“One million volts! Discharge!”
Linley pointed his finger at the man, and a dazzling blue-white lightning bolt was released from his finger.
“Aaaaaaaaa——!”
The lightning beam bombarded the opponent, who immediately let out a shrill scream and then fell to the ground.
“You can take down Piado with just one move? Are you kidding me?!”
Piado was the strongest member of the Iron Forest Guild, yet he couldn’t even survive a single move from the opponent.
“Asshole!! Look at my black belt magic!!”
A man swung the black belt in his hand, and the black belt quickly swept towards Lin Lei. Under the effect of magic, the black belt was as hard as steel.
The ground was blasted with holes.
Linley instantly moved in front of the other person and grabbed his head with his hand.
“Two million volts!! Discharge!!”
Chapter 49 Are You Happy? (Old Version)
Snap——!!
Linley loosened his grip, and the man fell to the ground, his body burnt to a crisp.
“Reiyuer!!”
Rei Yur is also the top fighter of the Iron Forest, and he also didn’t take a single move.
“Asshole! Yakage!!”
A man pressed his hands on the ground, and the shadows beneath him quickly transformed into eight huge shadow snakes that bit towards Linley.
Linley stood still without moving, not even glancing at him. He pointed his right hand at the other party and said quietly:
“3 million volts! Discharge!”
A dazzling blue-white lightning was released from the palm of his hand, and the giant snakes formed by the shadows were destroyed by the lightning in an instant, turning into ashes.
Lightning struck the opponent.
This person also fell to the ground.
“Little Kaga!!!”
“How could it be?!”
“Piadou, Reiyul, Kagayama… these three people couldn’t even take one move from the other. Who on earth is this guy?!”
At this time, a fat wizard looked at Linley and seemed to remember something. He looked at Linley carefully, and the more he looked, the more horrified his face became: “Fairy Tail… Lightning magic… Black hair and black eyes…”
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!”
“It’s him! That’s right! It’s him!”
Eligore said impatiently: “What are you shouting?! Karaka! Who is he?”
“He is the monster in the Fairy Tail legend, the ‘Thunder God’——Lin Lei!!”
When the Iron Forest heard Karaka’s words, their breathing stopped and they looked at Linley with horror.
The Fairy Tail Guild uses lightning magic. There are only two wizards who use lightning magic in the entire Fairy Tail Guild, and both of them are S-class wizards of the Fairy Tail Guild.
Laxus and Linley.
Laxus’ image had already been exposed, and this person was obviously not him, so only the legendary ‘God of Thunder’ Linley could be more suitable.
“How…how could it be…why would such a legendary figure appear here?!”
Everyone in the Iron Forest Guild trembled.
To the light camp, he is the god of thunder, but to the dark camp, he is the god of death.
Three years ago, someone spread the news that Fairy Tail’s strongest wizard Gildarts had left the guild to go on a hundred-year quest.
In the past, more than a dozen dark guilds that had grudges with Fairy Tail or disliked Fairy Tail joined forces to target Fairy Tail.
As a result, not long after, these dozen dark guilds disappeared from the world forever. There were rumors that it was the “Thunder God” Lin Lei who did it. From that time on, Lin Lei was also listed as the most untouchable wizard by the dark guild.
‘Thunder God’ Linley also became the most popular wizard at that time.
Half a year ago, the Thunder God Lin Lei disappeared without a trace. Many people thought that he might have died during a mission.
It was not until a week ago when Linley suddenly reappeared in Hargeon and destroyed half of the port as soon as he appeared that they realized that the other party was not dead at all and was still alive and well.
Eligore’s expression turned very grim. He had naturally heard of the name of Thundergod Linley.
“Lin Lei, we, the Iron Forest, and your Fairy Tail, have nothing to do with each other. Why did you attack us?”
Although he was not afraid of the other party, he had more important things to do now and did not want to have a conflict with this guy here.
Linley chuckled and said, “Haha, it’s none of your business. So what are you guys planning to do by hijacking the train? Can you tell me?”
Eligore’s face darkened: “It seems that we are not obliged to report to you what we are going to do?”
Linley instantly appeared beside Karaka, his hand resting on Karaka’s shoulder.
“Tell me, what do you want to do with the ‘Spell Song’?”
Karaka was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone in the Iron Forest also changed their expressions. The other party knew the “Curse Song”, which meant that the other party did not happen to be here, but attacked them deliberately.
Eligore shouted loudly: “Don’t say it!!”
Karaka quickly shut up.
“You won’t tell me, right? Then go to hell!”
Lightning emanated from around Linley’s head.
“Don’t kill me! I’m telling you! It’s Eligore. Eligore is going to use the curse song to curse and kill all the presidents who will be attending the regular meeting in Kroba City!!”
Karaka was so frightened that he quickly revealed their purpose.
Karaka screamed and fell down with his body burnt.
Linley looked at the people in the Iron Forest with a gloomy look, his eyes revealing a murderous intent: “I wanted to have some fun with you, but I didn’t expect you to dare to attack me. You all deserve to die!”
“20 million volts! Discharge!!”
Snap, snap——!!
Powerful lightning flowed from Linley’s body along the ground toward the people in the Iron Forest.
“Waaaaaaaaaaa!”…
Everyone in the Iron Forest who was attacked by lightning screamed in pain, and then fell to the ground with their bodies burnt.
Only Eligore saw the danger and quickly flew into the air to avoid the attack.
Seeing that everyone in the Iron Forest had been killed except himself, his face couldn’t help but look a little ugly.
“They are all a bunch of trash! They are of no use at all!”
“Kid, I originally wanted to deal with those old guys first and then deal with you young ones. Since you took the initiative to deliver yourself to my door, then go to hell!”
Eligore dived towards Linley.
Swish——!
The Grim Reaper’s scythe slashed through Lin Lei’s neck, and Lin Lei’s neck was cut off directly. His head flew high into the air and then fell to the ground.
“Dead…dead?”
Eligor was stunned. He didn’t expect that Linley could be killed so easily by him.
“Hahahaha! The legendary ‘Thor’ doesn’t seem to be that great! He was still killed by the ‘God of Death’ like me! Hahahaha!!”
Linley’s voice rang out: “Are you happy?”
Chapter 50 Purpose (Old Version)
Eligor’s smile froze, and he looked down, and saw that Linley’s eyes were now staring at him, and one of his eyes even blinked at him.
Linley’s head turned into blue-white lightning particles and dissipated. The light spots gathered again on his neck, and a new head grew out.
“Uooa …
Eligore jumped back in fear, pointing at Linley with a horrified look on his face: “You…you…what the hell are you?!”
He didn’t die even after his head was chopped off. What kind of monster is this?
Click!
Linley stretched his neck and said, “Is there any need to be so scared? This is just elemental transformation.”
“Elementalization…”
Eligore realized that he had been tricked by Linley, and his expression turned grim.
“How dare you play tricks on me, little brat!”
“Storm Wave!!”
Eligore raised his palm, and a tornado was released from his palm.
Just as the tornado was about to hit Linley, Linley’s figure teleported and appeared behind Eligor, kicking Eligor in the back.
Eligore cried out in pain.
Only then did he remember that his opponent could teleport.
“What a troublesome little brat!”
“Stormcoat!!”
The rapidly rotating storm wrapped around Eligor’s body, forming a storm armor covering Eligor’s body. In this way, he no longer had to worry about the little ghost teleporting over to attack him.
“Hey! This move is quite interesting! It looks like you are not just a small fry!”
Being able to control wind magic to this level, his magical attainments are obviously very good.
“You little brat! Don’t get complacent! The battle has just begun! Take it!!”
Accelerated by the wind magic, Eligor fell rapidly towards Linley’s position.
Linley tapped his toes and the man dodged backwards.
The storm wrapped around Eligore’s legs easily drilled through the ground like an electric drill.
“Storm Crushing Blast!!”
Eligor raised his hand, and a large number of wind blades slashed towards Linley.
Swish swish swish!!
The wind blade pierced through Linley’s body, only causing slight ripples. Seeing that his magic had not hurt Linley, and knowing that Linley could transform into an element, Eligor was no longer surprised.
Elementalization is actually also a kind of magic move. Maintaining elementalization may be able to avoid some simple magic attacks, but large-scale magic attacks cannot be avoided.
“Watch out! The wind magic that can tear everything into pieces, Emerald Swift!”
Eligor raised his index and middle fingers, and magic power gathered towards his fingers. The energy of the wind element continued to gather, emitting a rich green mist, forming emerald green leaves that wrapped around his fingers.
“Die! You little brat who plays with thunder!”
Eligor crossed his four fingers, and all the emerald green leaves transformed into terrifying sharp blades that slashed towards Linley.
Wherever the wind blade passed, even the hard rails were cut into pieces like tofu.
Linley raised his right hand, and his wrist transformed into lightning.
He said softly:
“God’s Judgment!”
Boom————!!
A terrifying pillar of lightning was released directly from Linley’s wrist, and the emerald green swift magic released by Eligor was instantly submerged by the huge pillar of lightning.
After a while, the pillar of lightning gradually converged and disappeared.
A gully was left on the ground as if it had been burned by fire.
At this time, the storm armor on Eligor disappeared, and his body was burnt as if it had been hit by high voltage electricity.
Eligore’s eyes widened in disbelief: “How…how…is it possible…”
After saying this, Eligore’s eyes rolled back and he fell straight down.
He simply couldn’t understand why such a young kid could have such terrifying magical powers.
At this time, Erza drove the magic four-wheeled vehicle very quickly and braked suddenly in front of Lin Lei.
“Linley, what’s going on?”
Linley smiled and gestured, “Solved!”
Lucy was shocked when she saw the people of Iron Forest falling to the ground around her. This was an entire guild of wizards, but they were all dealt with by Lin Lei alone. How terrifying was Lin Lei’s strength?
Wait! Why does it look like the front of a train, and there are also fragments of wheels and train seats?
Lucy was sweating. “Lin…Linlei…where’s the…train?”
“I ruined it.”
Several people were stunned when they heard this.
Linley spread his hands and said, “There’s nothing I can do! I’m already blocking the train, and they won’t stop. So I can only destroy the train.”
“That doesn’t mean the train will be destroyed! This is too much!”
She originally thought that Natsu had been reckless enough, but compared to Linley, he was nothing. He had just destroyed half of the Hargeon port half a month ago, and now a train was destroyed just like that.
HAPPY: “Love!”
“Love you! This is a train! I don’t know how much compensation I have to pay.”
“Pay compensation?!”
Linley shuddered. He had not thought about these things just now.
“It’s impossible for me to lose money! I will never lose money in this life!”
It would be fine if it was just a small amount of money, but to pay for a train fare he might have to spend all his savings accumulated over three years, which he absolutely could not agree to.
“It was the people of the Iron Forest who did it, not me!”
Linley immediately put the blame on the Iron Forest. If the Magic Council got wind of it, he would refuse to admit that he did it.
Erza asked, “Linley, what is the purpose of these guys hijacking the train?”
“They hijacked the train and wanted to go to Kroba City.”
“Kroba? Could it be?!”
When Erza and Happy heard the name of the city, their eyes widened and they had an unbelievable guess.
“What happened to Kroba City?”
Lucy asked confused.
“Kroba City is where the presidents hold their regular meetings,” Habib explained.
“The place where the regular meeting takes place, could this be their goal?!”
Linley nodded. “Yes, they plan to use the ‘curse song’ to curse all the guild leaders who attend the regular meeting.”
Chapter 51: Instant Kill (Old Version)
“Are they crazy?! Do they know what serious consequences this will have?!”
Although Lucy is just a newcomer, she often pays attention to the affairs of the magic world. If all the presidents are cursed to death, it will be an earth-shattering event. All the guild members of the killed presidents will hunt down the members of the Iron Forest endlessly.
By then, not to mention an Iron Forest, even an Iron Forest wouldn’t be able to stop us.
Linley chuckled and said, “Perhaps they think they can kill everyone with just a ‘spell song’.”
The Curse Song was just a curse-killing tool that Jellal had modified, and it might be able to kill some people. But it was nothing, it was just a toy that Jellal had modified and thrown away.
Then this thing caused quite a bit of trouble in the magic world, so it was sealed.
There are many things like this in the magic world, and they are all called the legacy of the Dark Wizard Zeref.
A sinister laugh was heard.
“Hehehe!”
“What an arrogant brat!”
A few people looked in the direction of the sound and saw green smoke slowly coming out of a three-eyed skull flute on the ground.
Green smoke rose up and then gradually transformed into a huge monster that seemed to be formed by a tree.
Lucy and Happy screamed in fear.
Erza’s expression changed when she saw the monster: “What’s going on? Why is there a monster in the flute?”
Linley looked at the monster and explained, “This is the curse song.”
“It is the curse song?!”
Lucy suddenly thought of something and her body trembled slightly: “It…Is it the demon from the Book of Zeref?!”
Happy asked confusedly, “What demon?”
“I’ve also read about it in a book. The demon in the Book of Zeref brought a terrible disaster to the continent. That monster is the curse song itself, a living magic. That is Zeref’s magic. I originally thought it was just a story in the book, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Lucy looked at the monster with fear on her face.
“Living magic…”
Erza was also shocked by this magic.
The monster glanced at the fallen people in the Iron Forest and said, “What a bunch of useless trash! I have to come here in person. I’m so hungry. Let me taste your souls.”
The monster opened its mouth wide, as if it was about to whistle a spell.
“No! The curse song needs to be sung!”
“ah—!!”
Lucy covered her ears in fear.
Erza immediately prepared to take action.
A huge pillar of lightning shot out from Linley’s wrist.
A pillar of lightning dropped from the sky and struck the curse-song monster, submerging its body. The horrific explosion spread to the surroundings.
The impact of the explosion made Lucy scream.
After a while, the impact of the explosion slowly dissipated, and a huge pit appeared on the ground. The monster’s figure had disappeared, and only a broken three-eyed skull flute remained in the pit.
“Did…Did he do it?!”
“The demon from the Book of Zeref was killed instantly like that?!”
Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Linley said calmly, “The demon from the Book of Zeref? It can’t really be considered a demon from the Book of Zeref. At most, it’s just a toy that Zeref made.”
The demons in the Book of Zeref are all at the Gate of Hell. Any one of them would be a hundred times stronger than this thing.
At this time, heavy footsteps were heard. Looking up, I saw the army in front rushing towards this side.
“Oh no! It’s the army!!”
“Run!!”
Linley, Erza, and Happy jumped onto the magical four-wheeler skillfully.
“Come back!!”
She clearly did nothing, so why was she chased by the army twice?
But she quickly jumped onto the magic four-wheeler. She didn’t want to stay here. Then the magic four-wheeler started and drove away.
Soon the army arrived and were stunned by what they saw.
“What the hell is going on here?!”
Magic Council Meeting Room ERA
“It’s Fairy Tail again! Can’t this guild be quiet? Especially this guy named Lin Lei. He destroyed half of the Hargeon port half a month ago, and now he has even destroyed a train! It’s simply lawless! Lawless! He must be severely punished! If he is not severely punished, this guy may destroy a city one day!”
Councillor Oger slammed the table angrily. As the second seat of the Magic Council, he usually presided over the meeting when the Chairman was not present.
“But they did get rid of a dark guild after all.”
Councillor Berno said that although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Fairy Tail always getting into trouble, it was still understandable if they got into trouble for doing the right thing.
“Even if we eliminate one Iron Forest, it won’t solve the fundamental problem. There are countless dark guilds.”
“What’s strange is how such a powerful magic could be easily obtained by someone? If someone uses Jellal’s magic again in the future, we won’t be able to handle it!”
“It looks like the responsibility should be traced to the management.”
Zikrein smiled and said, “Even though you don’t want to admit it, this time it was thanks to the help of Fairy Tail. If the curse song succeeded this time, all the guild leaders would be killed. The consequences would be disastrous, and even some of us might lose our lives.”
“What!! Are you trying to say that we are also responsible for this?!”
“What nonsense! Those guys acted recklessly and the trouble they caused has caused us so much trouble!!”
Many commentators became emotional when they heard this.
The Magic Council is mainly responsible for maintaining peaceful coexistence between wizards and ordinary people. If wizards cause chaos, it will naturally affect the trust of various countries and peoples in the Magic Council.
Incidents like the one at Hargeon Port and the Iron Forest required the Magic Council to clean up the mess, so almost all members of the Magic Council feel very troubled by Fairy Tail.
“That’s not what I meant. I just think that everyone should put aside their prejudices and give them some praise this time.”
Chapter 52: There is no way to spend all the money (old version)
The meeting ended in a bad mood, and Zekelein’s proposal to praise Fairy Tail was not passed at all.
It is impossible to praise me, it is impossible to praise me in this lifetime.
If those idiots at Fairy Tail continue to behave even more after this praise, there will be chaos.
The final result of the discussion was the same as usual, turning a blind eye.
Zekelein’s office.
Zikrein, who had just finished the meeting, returned to his office and sat down.
Urrutia came over and said, “What a pity, Master Zikrein. They didn’t even seize such a good opportunity for the Iron Forest. They are such a bunch of rubbish. If they could kill those regular meeting presidents, the whole magic world would be in chaos.”
Zikrein smiled nonchalantly and said, “There’s nothing to regret. It was just a curse-killing tool made by the great black magician Zeref. I didn’t expect it to have much effect. But they couldn’t even kill a guild leader. Those guys are really useless.”
He originally thought that after Eligore got the “Curse Song”, he could curse and kill at least ten or eight presidents of the magic guilds, but he didn’t expect that he couldn’t kill even one.
Urrutia continued, “This is all because of that guy named Linley. He was able to wipe out an entire guild by himself. He’s truly an incredible guy.”
Urrutia was also in charge of intelligence at the Magic Council and knew a lot about Linley. This guy was a real monster. Perhaps in the entire younger generation of the magic world, only the man in front of him could be compared to him.
“This isn’t the first time that guy has wiped out a guild.”
Three years ago, Ivan, the president of Crow Tail, organized more than a dozen dark guilds to attack Fairy Tail. However, not long after, all those dark guilds disappeared. It was Lin Leidong who eliminated those dark guilds one by one.
Ivan, the president of Crow’s Tail, ran away early when he saw that the situation was not good.
“Lin Lei… I just hope that guy won’t meddle in my business anymore, otherwise, I’ll really get angry.”
Because of this, Zikri no longer looked like he had been speaking for Fairy Tail before, and there was no emotion in his eyes at all.
Fairy Tail
The guild was bustling with activity, and since not many people had seen the incident of the Iron Forest, the Magic Council kept the news secret.
After all, when such terrorist attacks appear in the news, ordinary people will become more concerned about crimes committed by wizards and may cause some panic.
In return, all the damage caused this time will be borne by the Magic Council, and Fairy Tail does not need to bear any responsibility.
Lin Lei was naturally very happy to hear this news. For him, as long as he didn’t have to pay any money, it would be the best.
Natsu was very unhappy.
Although he fainted, he felt like he had a horrible nightmare. In the nightmare, he got on a train and then changed to a magic four-wheeler. He was bumpy on the magic four-wheeler for a long time, which made him feel carsick in his dreams.
When he woke up, he had already returned home. He learned from the harpy that the matter had already been resolved by Linley.
Not only did he fail to beat up anybody from the Iron Forest on this trip, he also had a nightmare of motion sickness all day. It would be strange if he could be happy.
“You little brat, even though you did a good job this time, don’t do it again next time.”
It was only after the regular meeting that Makarov learned that such a big thing had happened during his regular meeting.
This brat Linley was always ruthless when he struck, just like his master Gildarts.
“I know, President. I won’t do that again next time.” Linley replied with a grin.
“Humph! You said the same thing last time, and the time before, and the time before that.”
Makarov didn’t believe that this brat could do it. This brat has been a troublemaker since joining the guild. He has caused so much trouble in less than a month since he came back.
“Really? I forgot.”
“You little brat, when are you going to go out to work?”
The way Makarov looked at Linley now was like a parent looking at a college student who had been home for a month. They were very happy for the first week, but now they were annoyed.
“Work? Why work?”
Makarov’s mouth twitched when he heard Linley’s words. He raised his hand and slapped Linley on the head. “What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Of course, we work to make a living! Only work can earn you money.”
“I have a nine-digit savings account. If I put it in the bank and earn interest, it’s enough for me to live a carefree life. Why should I still work?”
Makarov’s eyes almost popped out of his head: “9…9…9 digits?!”
He had never saved so much money in his entire life.
“Where do you get so much money?”
“Where did it come from? Of course I earned it from work! I completed dozens of jobs worth around 1 million J, more than a dozen jobs worth 10 million J, five jobs worth 30 million J, one job worth 80 million J, and one job worth 120 million J.”
Hearing Lin Lei counting on his fingers, Makarov realized that this brat Lin Lei had actually completed so much work without realizing it, and the data was incredibly gorgeous. Except for those jobs that paid millions of jacks, almost all of them paid tens of millions of jacks.
For most ordinary magicians in the guild, it may take three or four years to earn 10 million J. The reward this kid got from one mission is equivalent to the reward of an ordinary magician working for three or four years.
An SS-level mission is equivalent to ten years, and a ten-year mission is equivalent to thirty to forty years.
According to Lin Lei’s rough estimate, the total amount of compensation Lin Lei earned in the past four years is approximately 500 million.
This number may not be a big deal for rich people, but it is definitely an astronomical figure for magicians.
“You… you stinky boy… don’t you have any money to spend?”
“Spend! Spend every day, but the interest can’t be spent every day. As a result, the interest is compounded and the money is getting more and more. I can’t spend it all. I can’t spend it all at all. Alas!”
Linley sighed as he spoke, as if he was worried about how to spend the money.
Chapter 53: The Strongest (Old Version)
Makarov saw Linley’s darting look and slapped him, sending him flying.
If you can’t spend all the money, you can give it to me!
Makarov turned his head away, not wanting to continue talking to that brat Linley.
“Eh? President, why are you silent? Are you born a quiet person?”
“Get lost!”
Lin Lei left with a chuckle. He was just trying to tease the old man.
Everyone can spend money, but he was just an ordinary person and had not developed a habit of extravagance. His only hobby was saving money. In addition, he had completed many difficult tasks over the years, and he had accumulated a handsome fortune without realizing it.
“You, the president is old, stop teasing him.”
Mira heard the conversation between Linley and Makarov.
“This will save the old man from always urging me to go out to work! This way I can have more time to spend with you.”
Linley leaned close to Mira’s ear and spoke affectionately.
Mira was also very happy to hear Linley’s words.
“Um?”
At this moment, Linley raised his brows.
“What’s wrong?”
“Mistergang is here.”
“Mistergang…”
Before Mira could finish her words, she felt extremely sleepy. Linley hugged Mira and let her sit in his arms.
Everyone in the guild also noticed it.
“This is!”
“So sleepy!”
Soon, almost everyone in the guild fell asleep, and a man wrapped tightly walked into the guild.
“Long time no see! Mistgang.”
After Lisanna’s accident two years ago, Linley immediately found Mistgon. He knew that Mistgon was the prince of the Kingdom of Edlas.
He is also a technology geek. Although he has no magic power, he can create and use various powerful magic tools.
He asked Mistgon to teleport him to the world of Edlas so that he could bring Lisanna back.
The main reason why he didn’t go to another world in the end was that Mistgon could indeed teleport him there when Anima appeared, but he couldn’t teleport him back.
“haven’t seen you for a long time.”
After responding, Mistgan walked to the commission board, tore off a task with a reward of 1 million J, and came to Makarov and showed it to Makarov.
“I’m leaving first.”
“You remove the hypnosis spell!!”
Makarov kept yawning. Even he couldn’t withstand Mistgang’s sleeping magic.
“Five, four, three, two, one!”
After Mistgang finished speaking, his body walked out of the guild and disappeared into mist.
Everyone in the guild was suddenly awakened.
“This feeling, is it Mistergang?”
“That bastard!”
“This hypnotic magic is still as powerful as ever.”
This kind of thing happened more than once or twice. Everyone in the guild knew that it was Mistgang who had just come. However, he had come without any regard for their wishes and had forced them to sleep. Everyone would be unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.
Lucy rubbed her eyes with a puzzled look on her face.
Loki said, “One of the candidates for the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail.”
When he realized the person talking to him was Lucy, he quickly moved aside.
Gray took over and said, “For some reason, he doesn’t want others to see his face, so every time he comes to get a mission, he makes everyone fall asleep like this. Except for the president, no one has ever seen what Mistgang looks like.”
Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor:
“Huh… I know that.”
When everyone looked up, they saw a blond young man leaning on the railing and looking down.
“Laxus!!”
“Are you there?”
“You are here?”
Many people in the guild were very surprised to see Laxus. Laxus had rarely appeared in the guild for a long time. After coming to the guild, he was always on the second floor, looking superior.
Gray said with an unhappy look on his face: “This is another candidate for the strongest.”
Laxus said: “Mistgang is a very shy person, so you should not dig too deep.”
When Natsu saw Laxus appear, he immediately jumped onto the table and shouted at Laxus, “Laxus, fight me!!”
“Huh? You can’t even beat Lin Lei, and you still want to fight me?”
“What do you mean Laxus?”
Before Lin Lei could say anything, Mira, who was sitting in Lin Lei’s arms, was unhappy. Laxus’s words were obviously saying that Lin Lei was not as good as him.
“Calm down! Calm down!”
Linley comforted Mira.
Laxus opened his hands and said loudly: “What it means is that I am the strongest.”
Natsu: “Get down here, you bastard!”
“Come up here.”
Laxus said to Natsu with a provocative look on his face.
“Just wait for me!”
As expected, Natsu couldn’t stand Laxus’ provocation and was about to go up the stairs immediately.
Makarov’s palm suddenly grew larger, and then he punched Natsu to the ground: “You can’t go up there, you’re not good enough yet.”
Laxus continued to provoke Natsu: “Yo yo yo, you made the old man angry.”
“You should stop now, Laxus.”
Makarov glanced at Laxus.
“I will not give up the throne of the strongest in Fairy Tail to any of you, no matter if it’s Erza, Mistgang, Linley, or that uncle. I am the strongest!! Hahahaha!!”
Laxus said as he opened his arms and laughed arrogantly as he walked into the lounge on the second floor.
Chapter 54: Second Floor (Old Version)
“Okay! Okay! We’re not angry! We’re not angry!”
“I just find it annoying to see him pulling you down.”
Mira is one of the few people who knows Lin Lei’s strength. After witnessing the battle between master and apprentice three years ago, Mira believes that Lin Lei is the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild.
Seeing Mira defending him when she was angry, Linley thought she was very cute, as if she had returned to the way she was when he first met her.
“Well, well! He has always been like that! He has been foul-mouthed for a long time. He doesn’t have the final say on who is the strongest. President, teacher, who is not stronger than him? The president has already said it, so for the president’s sake, let’s not bother with him.”
Mira calmed down a little after hearing Linley’s words. Indeed, Laxus had always been like that for a long time.
“By the way, what did the president mean by not being able to go up to the second floor?”
Lucy asked at this time. She had been a member of the guild for almost a month, and most of the guild members were on the first floor. It was also the first time she saw someone on the second floor.
Originally she didn’t care much about this, thinking that only the president could go to the second floor, but today when she saw the president stopping Natsu from going to the second floor, she became a little curious.
Mira explained: “The tasks on the second floor commission board are not as difficult as those on the first floor. They are all S-level or above.”
“S-rank?!”
It was the first time Lucy heard this word.
“A dangerous mission where a single misjudgment could cost one’s life, but the higher the risk, the higher the reward. To be able to perform S-class missions, one must first become an S-class wizard.”
“S-class wizard?!”
Another new word.
“Yes! S-class wizards. Every S-class wizard is the trump card of a guild. In Fairy Tail, there are six of them, including Erza, Laxus, Mistgang, and Linley.”
“Six S-class wizards, so impressive! Wait, you said there were six in total, who were the other two?”
Linley interrupted and said with a smile, “One is my teacher, Gildarts, and the other is Mira.”
“Miss…Miss Mira?!!”
Lucy was shocked, she always thought that Mira was just the poster girl of the Fairy Tail Guild, because Miss Mira looked really weak, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
And she has been responsible for the logistical work of serving tea and wine. No matter what, she could not imagine that Mira is actually a powerful S-class wizard.
Happy said proudly: “Mira was once known as ‘Demon’ Mira, a wizard whose strength is comparable to Erza’s!”
“Demon?!”
What kind of title is this? Miss Mira is so beautiful, how can she have nothing to do with a demon?
Mira smiled bitterly and said, “That was all in the past. I’m not even a wizard now.”
But the bitterness in Mira’s eyes quickly flashed away, and she smiled brightly again: “But this is also good. I am also very happy to be able to help everyone in the guild with logistics.”
This is true. The president is old now and cannot bear such heavy work. She can help handle many affairs and relieve a lot of pressure on the president.
However, as a wizard who cannot use magic, and was once an S-class wizard, how could he not feel regretful?
Linley stroked Mira’s hair without saying anything. Mira had been greatly traumatized after Lisanna’s disappearance and had blocked her mind. When he returned from the mission, Mira had become what she is now.
It was too late for him to say anything. Now Mira could only wait until Lisanna was found before she could untie her knot and use magic again.
“Mira! Three beers here!”
The appearance of Laxus was just a small episode, and the guild soon returned to its former state and became lively and bustling.
No one in the guild noticed that Natsu was looking towards the second floor at this time, with an unknown meaning in his eyes.
Early the next morning.
Mira is counting the number of mission commissions.
This is something that must be done every day. After all, there are many commissions in the guild, and they need to be counted every day. If the number doesn’t match, we have to consider whether it is lost, and then we need to print a new one to avoid delaying the client.
Just as Mira was tapping on the task commission on the second floor, her expression suddenly changed.
“Oh no! President, there is one less letter of authorization on the second floor!!”
Mira shouted as she hurried down the stairs.
Everyone in the guild fell silent when they heard this. The commissions on the second floor were no different from those on the first floor. The lowest commission on the second floor was S-level, so missing any one of them would be no small matter.
Laxus folded his arms and sat on a chair on the second floor. He smiled calmly and said, “I saw a cat sneakily tear it away last night. By the way, the cat had wings. It was really strange.”
“Harpy?!”
Everyone in the guild immediately knew who had stolen the power of attorney.
“So Natsu and Lucy were involved too?!”
Happy must have been instructed by Natsu to go on the stealing mission, and Lucy teamed up with Natsu.
“They just go on an S-rank mission so casually?!”
“What were those idiots thinking?!”
S-class missions are generally recognized to be extremely dangerous. One could die if one is not careful. Even an S-class wizard needs the president’s consent to do them.
“This is a serious violation of our guild’s rules. They will be kicked out of the guild when they come back, right, old man? Speaking of which, they want to complete S-level missions with their mediocre skills. They won’t be able to come back, hahahaha.”
Laxus smiled with some gloating.
“Laxus, why didn’t you stop them when you knew the consequences?!”
Mira came in front of Laxus and questioned.
Laxus argued, “I only saw a gust of wind blowing, and a cat tore a piece of paper and ran away. How do I know it was a harpy? How do I know that Natsu was going to do an S-rank mission? And even if I really knew, why would I stop him? Whether Natsu does an S-rank mission or not has nothing to do with me.”
Chapter 55: Angry at Laxus (Old Version)
Mira’s face turned gloomy when she heard what Laxus said. Laxus might have a bad temper, but she was very angry at his attitude of not caring about the safety of his companions.
“Hey, I haven’t seen you with this expression in a long time. Maybe you are thinking about yourself…”
Mira’s face turned pale.
“Shut up! Laxus!!”
Makarov shouted at Laxus, stopping him from continuing.
“Which piece of paper is missing?”
Makarov then asked Mira.
“The cursed island, Karna Island.”
“It’s Devil’s Island!!”
Makarov’s face changed drastically and he let out a cry of surprise, and everyone in the guild was also shocked.
Devil’s Island is very famous. According to legend, it is an island where demons live, and even pirates have to avoid it.
“Lin Lei, go and bring those idiots back to me!”
Makarov immediately told Linley that the only ones in the guild who had the ability to bring Natsu and the others back were Laxus and Linley.
Laxus didn’t even stop the harpy from stealing the commission, so it was impossible for him to go, so Lin Lei had to go.
Before Linley could say anything, Laxus was already unhappy: “Old man, you said that a wizard who can’t clean up his own mess is not worthy of being in our guild. Our guild doesn’t need a wizard who has to clean up after others. Natsu stole the guild’s commission, which is a serious crime! He should be expelled from the guild.”
“Hmm…”
Makarov was choked by Laxus’ words and was speechless. He did say these words, but he was just talking.
At this time, Linley stood up, looked at Makarov and said, “President, I’m sorry, but I asked the harpy to take the commission. I’ve been in the guild for a long time and I feel like moving around a bit, so I asked the harpy to pick a task for me and I’ll go and complete it right away.”
Linley’s words were obviously fabricated, but Makarov showed gratitude.
“Okay! I allow it! Go now!”
“stop!!”
Laxus looked at Linley with an unpleasant expression: “Linley, you did this on purpose!”
“Yes! I did it on purpose. What I want to do doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right? You don’t care about the safety of your companions, and you don’t allow others to care?”
“Normally, everyone is too lazy to argue with you because of the president’s face. You really think you are so great.”
“Lin Lei!!!”
Laxus roared at Linley. What he hated most was people saying that he was Makarov’s grandson.
Linley rubbed his ears with his little finger: “Don’t shout so loudly, I can hear you. Others may spoil you, but I won’t.”
“Also, how old are you? You keep shouting “the strongest, the strongest” all day long. Aren’t you childish?”
“You bastard…”
“Shut up! I haven’t finished talking yet! Don’t say you’re not the strongest. Even if you become the strongest in the guild, what’s the point of bragging? If you have the ability, become the strongest in Ishgar or Eslandon! Come brag to me again, and I’ll still look up to you. You’re just the strongest in Fairy Tail, and you’re showing off. Aren’t you ashamed?”
No matter how Laxus will change in the future, Laxus is very annoying at this moment.
He didn’t care about Laxus’s daily provocations. The old man took good care of him, and he would not fall out with Laxus for the old man’s sake.
But Laxus was obviously trying to rub salt into Mira’s wounds, and he couldn’t accept it. You can come to me if you have anything, but you can’t bully my woman.
After cursing, Linley felt much better.
Linley felt relieved, but Laxus was extremely furious. His expression became extremely ferocious, and a large number of golden arcs appeared around his head.
“Okay, okay, you little brat, do you think you are stronger than me?! Then let me…”
“ENOUGH!! Laxus!!”
Makarov’s scolding voice rang out.
Hearing Makarov’s scolding, Laxus stopped with a grim expression.
Lin Lei, that bastard, had disobeyed him time and time again. One day he would teach that bastard a lesson and make him understand who was the boss of the guild.
“snort!”
Laxus snorted and his body turned into lightning and left the guild.
After Laxus left, the tense atmosphere in the guild suddenly eased.
“How scary! I thought the two were going to fight.”
“Yeah! If these two guys fight, it will turn the world upside down.”
“Linley is probably the only one in the guild who dares to speak to Laxus like this!”
“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen Linley get angry. It’s really scary!”
Linley and Laxus were both monsters among monsters, both of them possessed extremely destructive lightning magic.
Linley usually had the image of a good guy, getting along well with everyone in the guild and never losing his temper.
“Linley, Mira, I’m sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of Laxus. It’s all my fault for not educating him well.”
Makarov said to Linley and Mira with an apologetic look on his face.
Linley said, “What are you talking about, President? Laxus is Laxus, and you are you. It is unreasonable for a parent to apologize for a quarrel between two children.”
Mira also advised: “Yes! President, this is just a simple quarrel, you don’t have to say that.”
Seeing Linley and Mira say this, Makarov was relieved: “Hey! If Laxus was half as worry-free as you two, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
Laxus was kind-hearted when he was a child. I don’t know why he became like this when he grew up.
“Linley, you must bring Natsu and the others back safely.”
Linley smiled and said, “Don’t worry! Guild Master, this is just an S-rank mission. It’s easy for me to accomplish.”
Makarov was relieved to hear Linley’s words. In the past three years, Linley had completed many S-level missions, all of which he had completed successfully. He had also completed many SS-level missions and ten-year missions that were more difficult than S-level missions. This was all due to Linley’s strong strength.
But he still warned: “Although you are very strong, S-level tasks are not easy. You have to be more careful.”
“Okay, I understand. I’m off.”
At this time, a voice sounded and said, “Wait a minute, I’ll go too.”
Chapter 56: Finished (Old Version)
“Gray?!”
Several people looked towards the person who was speaking, and it was Gray.
“Even though Natsu is a jerk and annoying, I can’t just watch him get kicked out of the guild. Besides, Linley has to go on a mission, so someone needs to bring Natsu and the others back.”
Makarov nodded: “Well, you are right. Since you want to go, let’s go together. This will be safer.”
On the one hand, the two of them were indeed more powerful, but on the other hand, he was a little worried that Laxus and Linley would start fighting, and there would be no one to stop them.
Linley didn’t have any objection to this, and the two of them walked out of the guild together.
“Lin Lei, what you said to Laxus was really satisfying. If I could beat him, I would have said those words a long time ago.”
After leaving the guild, Gray said to Linley with an excited look on his face.
Even though Gray is only eighteen years old, he is considered a veteran in the Fairy Tail Guild and has known Laxus for a long time.
At first Laxus was fine, but in recent years he has become more and more excessive, always saying things that look down on and belittle others. He has long disliked Laxus.
“Haha, then work hard to become stronger, and then beat him up.”
“Don’t worry! That day will come.”
Hargeon City
Linley and Gray headed straight for the port upon arriving at Hargeon City.
At this time, the port had returned to its former prosperity, and the damage caused by Linley and Natsu had been repaired.
After the two arrived at the port, they easily found out the whereabouts of Natsu and Lucy with simple inquiries. After all, almost no one dared to go to Karna Island these days.
The two men had left an hour ago and asked if there were any boatmen going to Karna Island, but no boatman was willing to go.
The name of Devil’s Island has become a taboo among these boatmen, and even pirates have to avoid the island.
“There’s no other choice but to take action.”
Lin Lei planned to use force to force a boatman to take them there.
“STOP!!”
Seeing Linley about to take action, Gray hurriedly stopped him.
“No, no, let me do it!”
Gray put his hands in a pose of modeling magic.
“ICEMAKE·Ship!!”
A magic circle lit up on the sea, and in the blink of an eye, an ice ship made of ice appeared on the sea.
“Ohh! Gray, your magic is very useful!”
Looking at this gorgeous ice ship, Linley’s eyes lit up.
“Really? It’s okay!”
Gray felt a little shy when he heard Linley’s praise.
“Don’t be so modest. Your magic is very comprehensive and has a high degree of freedom. Maybe your attack is not particularly outstanding, but your overall ability is very good and you can adapt to battles in any environment.”
“Then can I become an S-class wizard this year?”
Gray looked at Linley expectantly.
“I’m very optimistic about you.”
Linley patted Gray on the shoulder. Gray’s magic was good and his intelligence was also online. In the Fairy Tail Guild, he was an elite whose strength was second only to that of S-class wizards.
However, success and failure are both due to the same person. Gray’s overall level is good, but it also means that he has no outstanding points. In short, he is mediocre.
This is not Gray’s problem, but Gray’s magic. The ice shaping magic is still too ordinary.
In the guild, Gray’s magic can even be said to be the most common magic.
Being able to rank among the guild’s elite with such ordinary magic, and even being able to fight Natsu on equal terms, is enough to prove Gray’s qualifications.
Gray was immediately filled with confidence when he heard Linley’s words: “I will definitely become an S-class wizard this year!”
Gray controlled the ice boat to move forward quickly.
Towards evening, the two arrived at Karna Island.
As soon as he landed on the island, Linley closed his eyes and used his full power to open his mind network to perceive.
Soon Linley opened his eyes: “Found it!”
“So fast!”
Gray also knew that Linley had a super strong perception, but he did not expect that Linley’s perception was so strong.
“This way.”
Linley led Gray and headed towards where Natsu and the others were.
Soon the two men arrived outside a village.
Outside the village is a wall made of huge wooden pillars, which seems to be to avoid attacks by wild beasts. There is a “No Entry” sign hung on the gate of the village.
“Hello! Is anyone there?!”
Gray shouted.
Natsu, Lucy and Happy’s expressions suddenly changed when they heard the voice.
“Oh no! It’s Gray! Why is this guy here too?!”
“Are they here to take us back?”
“Have we been discovered so soon?!”
This is the only possibility, otherwise Gray would not have come here.
The guard on the wall shouted down: “Who are you?!”
“We are the wizards of Fairy Tail. Did a man, a woman, and a blue cat come here today?”
“Sure enough, he came to find us!”
After hearing Gray’s words, the three people immediately confirmed that Gray was looking for them.
Natsu quickly raised a finger: “Shh! Don’t tell anyone that we’ve been here. We came here secretly to complete the mission. If they find out, they will catch us back and there will be no one to help you remove the curse.”
“No… No! We have never seen a man, a woman and a cat. Outsiders are not welcome here. Please leave.”
Blue and white lightning particles condensed on Lin Lei’s feet, and then he kicked the door.
The door exploded open.
“Wooooooaaaaaaa!”…
Linley’s sudden kick startled everyone, and the villagers looked at the broken door in horror.
Linley stepped in from the smoke. “Wow! So many people here. It’s really lively!”
Natsu, Lucy and Happy’s hair stood on end when they heard the voice.
Natsu and Lucy looked horrified.
Happy was about to cry, “It’s over!”
Chapter 57 Devil’s Island (Old Version)
If only Gray came, they wouldn’t need to be afraid. Although Gray’s strength is good, as long as Natsu gets serious, his strength will still be stronger than Gray.
But Lin Lei is different. His magic performance is exaggerated on a daily basis, and his real strength is even more exaggerated than that.
Only those who had witnessed the strongest battle between master and disciple three years ago could know how terrifying Lin Lei’s strength was.
Given Linley’s strength at that time, even Natsu now would be no match for him, let alone Linley three years later.
Perhaps only Lin Lei himself knows how strong he is now.
However, those who have truly witnessed Linley’s strength think that Linley is likely to be the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild, including Natsu and Happy.
Natsu and Linley had fought many times, and were almost always defeated, and Linley didn’t even use half of his strength.
Gray followed in and gave them a look that said, “Natsu, Lucy, Happy, your secret trip to do an S-rank mission has been exposed. You still have time to go back, or you will be expelled from the guild.”
“Expel from the guild!”
Lucy was shocked to hear this, she didn’t expect the punishment for secretly doing an S-rank mission would be so severe. She had finally joined the Fairy Tail guild she had always dreamed of, and it had only been a month. Was she going to be kicked out so soon?
Natsu and Happy were also shocked.
But Natsu immediately gritted his teeth and said, “No!! I must do the S-rank mission!!”
As soon as Natsu finished speaking, Linley appeared in front of him. Before Natsu could react, Linley slapped Natsu in the face with his hand.
“Woooooo!”
Natsu flew out sideways.
This sudden action startled everyone in the village. Lucy and Happy were so frightened that they hugged each other and sat on the ground trembling.
“You want to do an S-level mission? What qualifications do you have to do an S-level mission? It’s fine that you act recklessly on weekdays, but now you dare to secretly do an S-level mission?”
Natsu stood up and said firmly: “I will prove to you that I am qualified to go to the second floor!”
A bolt of lightning struck Natsu directly.
Natsu screamed and was sent flying.
“Prove? How do you want to prove it? Can you prove it by rushing out to do an S-class mission without thinking about anything else? What do you want to prove? Prove that you are no worse than an S-class wizard? Or prove that you are stronger than all S-class wizards?”
“I……”
Another bolt of lightning struck Natsu.
“Wow!”
When everyone in the village saw this, their faces were filled with fear and their bodies couldn’t stop shaking.
“Lucy is a newbie so she doesn’t know, but you should know how dangerous S-rank missions are. Are you going to drag Lucy and Happy here to die just to prove yourself?”
Natsu was about to speak when he was interrupted by a lightning attack.
“Are you trying to say that you are ready? Are you ready to quit the guild or to die? Or do you think that as long as you complete the mission, you will not be expelled from the guild?”
Natsu was silent, that’s what he thought.
“Well, that’s good. Then the other people in the guild saw that you were not expelled from the guild and were very envious. They followed your example and secretly completed S-level missions to prove themselves, and then died during the missions.”
Natsu paled when he heard this, he hadn’t thought about that at all and quickly shook his head.
“I know you haven’t thought about this in your head.”
“S-class wizards are all selected through S-class exams. In Fairy Tail, there has never been and there is no need to rely on such despicable means as secretly doing S-class missions to become an S-class wizard!!”
Natsu lowered his head and knelt on the ground.
Gray came out to smooth things over at this time: “Alright, alright! Lin Lei, don’t be angry, the punishment has been given, and from their looks they know they are wrong, why don’t you apologize!” Gray winked at a few people as he spoke.
“Sorry! We were wrong!”
Lucy and Happy immediately got the signal and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.
He was indeed a little angry because of Natsu’s mischief, but after punishing him, he calmed down. Besides, everyone is young and full of energy. Natsu is in his rebellious period and he did a lot of stupid things when he was at this age.
“Humph! Now that you know you’re wrong, there’s no point apologizing to me. The reason why the guild rules are rules is to maintain the normal operation of the guild. If you violate the rules, you will be punished. When you return to the guild, whether you will be expelled from the guild will be decided by the president.”
After saying this, Linley turned to look at the villagers and said:
“Excuse me, I just borrowed your place to teach a few disobedient members of the guild a lesson.”
“No…it’s okay. Please…may I ask who this wizard is?”
The village chief looked at Linley anxiously and asked.
“I’m the S-class wizard of the Fairy Tail Guild in charge of this mission. I’m Linley. Please tell me the specific contents of the mission.”
“Yes, yes! Everyone take off the cloth.”
Everyone in the village took off the cloth on their bodies, revealing their bodies. Each person had a part of their body that looked like a devil. Some had legs, some had arms, and some had devil horns on their foreheads.
Gray was shocked when he saw this.
“It’s surprising, right? All creatures on this island, even dogs and birds, are cursed by this curse. Moreover, the reason we became like this is related to the ‘magic of the moon’.”
“This island has been accumulating the light of the moon since ancient times. The whole island is as dazzling as the moon. However, a few years ago, the moonlight suddenly turned purple.”
“Purple? I’ve never seen a moon like this before.”
Lucy couldn’t help but speak.
“That’s what people outside say, but on this island, the moon turns purple, and when the moon appears, our appearance changes.”
Almost as soon as the village chief finished speaking, the moon rose in the sky, and the purple moonlight shone on the island.
“It’s really purple!!”
“It looks really scary!”
“Woo——!”
“Ugh—!!”
Suddenly, all the villagers wailed with painful expressions on their faces.
Then his body began to change rapidly, horns appeared on his head, scales grew on his arms, and in the blink of an eye, all the villagers turned into demons.
Chapter 58 Purple Moon (Old Version)
scare—-!!
Several people were frightened when they saw a village full of demons, even Lin Lei, who had seen a lot in recent years.
I would feel scared if I suddenly saw a bunch of scary-looking demons.
“I’m sorry to scare you. When the purple moon appears, we will become ugly like this. In the morning, everyone will return to their original appearance. However, some of them have their hearts devoured and cannot be changed back. People whose hearts have been devoured have become demons. We can only kill them.”
Natsu couldn’t believe it, “Just because he couldn’t change back to his original form, he was killed?!”
The village chief explained: “If we leave it alone, he will kill everyone. I had no choice but to kill even my own son.”
The village chief said this while holding up a photo.
“That person, eh?!”
Lucy, Natsu and Happy were all shocked when they saw it. They were sent here by this uncle today.
“That’s why we have asked a powerful wizard to save this island. If we continue like this, we will all be devoured by the devil.”
“Because of the magic of this purple moon, we have become like this. Gradually, our souls have also been devoured. Therefore, there is only one way to help us break this curse, and that is to destroy this moon.”
“Destroyed the moon——?!!”
Several people were dumbfounded when they heard this. Even Lin Lei couldn’t help but twitch his lips. This old village chief was not very tall, but he was so arrogant that he even said something like destroying the moon. He was truly ignorant and fearless.
Soon, several people were arranged to rest in a spacious room, and a sumptuous dinner was also prepared. After eating and drinking, several people began to think about how to solve the task.
“The more I look at this moon, the more frightening it becomes!”
Happy said as he lay on the window and looked at the purple moon hanging in the sky.
“Happy, close the window quickly. Have you forgotten what the village chief said? If we stay in the moonlight for too long, we will become demons too.”
Lucy said to Happy that she was frightened by the demonic forms of the people in the village. She was still young and beautiful and had never had a sweet love life. She didn’t want to become like that or she would not be able to find a boyfriend.
“Anyway, this is too tricky.”
“That’s right, they actually want to destroy the moon.”
Natsu and Gray also stared at the purple moon in the sky, feeling very troubled.
“I don’t know how many punches it will take to destroy it.”
Natsu clenched his fists, looking eager to try.
Lucy complained: “You really want to destroy the moon! How can we destroy the moon? No matter which wizard it is, it can’t be done.”
Natsu said with a serious expression: “But their commission is to destroy the moon. If we can’t do it, won’t it damage the reputation of Fairy Tail?”
“If it can’t be done, it can’t be done. First of all, you have to think about how we can get to the moon!!”
“Harpy!”
Habib immediately raised his hands: “I can’t do that.”
Lucy said: “Destroying the moon is the victim’s one-sided idea. I think there must be other ways to break the curse.”
Linley looked at the others speechlessly and said, “Why are you guys discussing this so seriously? It’s not like you guys are here to do an S-rank mission.”
I am the S-class wizard who accepted the mission.
Gray: “Now that we are here, we have to help!”
On the one hand, he came here to help Linley bring Natsu and the others back, and on the other hand, he wanted to see what an S-rank mission was like. Now that he had the chance to do an S-rank mission, he naturally didn’t want to miss it.
Lucy: “Yeah! This S-level mission is so difficult, let’s do the S-level mission together!”
If it was just Natsu and Happy she would still be a little nervous, but now that Linley and Gray were here, she felt confident.
Especially Lin Lei, who is a strong contender for the strongest wizard in the Fairy Tail Guild. He has even completed a ten-year quest that is more difficult than an SS-level quest, so he will definitely have no problem completing an S-level quest.
If I make a small contribution at that time, I can also ask Lin Lei for the reward of the Golden Key.
Natsu nodded, “Yeah, we want to help too! And I promise, as long as you let me participate in the S-class mission this time, I will never secretly do S-class missions again until I become an S-class wizard.”
The three people and the cat looked at Lin Lei expectantly. Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Lin Lei could not bear to refuse.
Linley nodded helplessly: “Alright! This is just one time, and it won’t happen again.”
“yeah—!!!”
The three people and the cat all jumped up happily.
Seeing how happy several people were, Linley couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
“Lin Lei, do you have any idea about this mission?”
Lucy asked Lin Lei. Lin Lei was an S-level wizard who had completed many S-level missions and had rich experience. Naturally, she wanted to ask Lin Lei’s opinion.
Linley crossed his arms and looked at the purple moon in the sky: “Hmm… about the same.”
“almost??”
After hearing this, several people all had question marks on their faces.
“What do you mean almost?”
“Almost means that the task is almost completed.”
Several people were shocked when they heard Linley’s words.
“Why so fast?!”
This is too fast! They received the same information as Lin Lei, so how could they complete the task so quickly?
“How is it done?”
Several people looked at Lin Lei curiously.
Linley pointed at the purple moon hanging outside the window and said with a smile:
“The method is very simple! Just like what the village chief said, just destroy the moon.”
Chapter 59 Deliora (Old Version)
Gray, Lucy, and Happy were all dumbfounded when they heard Linley’s words.
“real?!!”
Only Natsu looked excited, as if he believed what Linley said. Destroying the moon sounded too exciting.
“No, no, no! This is simply impossible! No matter how strong you are, Linley, you can’t destroy the moon!”
Gray shook his head and waved his hands frantically. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this was impossible.
“Then think about it carefully. This mission is super easy for me. Don’t you want to become an S-class wizard? You can’t even complete such a simple mission, and you still want to go to the second floor? And you want the president’s approval?”
Linley glanced at Natsu with disdain.
Natsu was immediately furious: “I will definitely complete this mission!!”
“Okay, I’ll only give you one day. If you still can’t complete the task by this time tomorrow, don’t blame me for taking over. After all, I don’t have that much time to waste. Good night.”
After saying this, Linley lay down and went to sleep.
Linley had already had an impression of the Devil’s Island when he heard about it. After seeing the purple moon in the sky and the demon villagers, he had already recalled the plot.
After all, this was the first and only S-rank mission in the anime, so his memory of it was quite vivid.
The next morning, when Linley opened his eyes, he saw several people with dark bags under their eyes, looking listless.
“Huh? What happened to you guys?”
Lucy said with dark circles under her eyes: “We discussed it all night but couldn’t figure out how to remove the curse. We didn’t fall asleep in the end.”
Linley smiled and asked, “Did you come to any conclusion from the discussion?”
Several people shook their heads.
“We think we should investigate on the island. This situation only occurred three years ago. There must have been some unknown incident on the island three years ago. What do you think?”
“I have no objection.”
Seeing that Linley had no objection, several people left the village together.
“Lin Lei, can you really destroy the moon?”
Natsu asked with a curious look on his face, the solution he proposed last night was to destroy the moon, but it was rejected by Gray and Lucy.
“Of course I was joking! Besides, even if I could really destroy the moon, I couldn’t do it! If I destroyed it, there would be no way to enjoy the moon.”
“Yeah, so that means the Fairy Tail limited edition moon-viewing steak is also sold out!!”
“It won’t work if my moon-watching salted fish is gone.”
Lucy looked at the relaxed faces of the few people and really admired them: “I am really impressed by you guys. You are not nervous at all. This is a terrible curse! I don’t want to become like that.”
“What’s there to be afraid of with a curse? If it dares to come, I’ll burn it to ashes!”
“Then I’ll freeze it into ice cubes!”
“I’ll cook it with electricity.”
“Are you all idiots!”
Lucy felt a little headache. One after another, are all the boys in Fairy Tail idiots?
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard in the forest, attracting the attention of several people.
Then, a giant rat in a maid costume suddenly emerged from the woods.
“mouse!!”
At this time, the big rat took a deep breath and puffed up its cheeks.
“It looks like it wants to vomit something.”
Natsu often breathes fire and is very familiar with this posture.
Lucy immediately urged: “Hurry up and solve it!”
Gray put his hands in a magic pose: “Asshole! Use my ice shield…”
spray—-!!
The big rat exhaled a foul breath.
“It stinks! Why does it stink so much?!”
Several people were immediately chased by the big rat and fled in a panic.
A blue-white bolt of lightning came from the sky and landed on the giant rat.
“Chichi——!”
The mouse screamed in pain and fell to the ground with all the fur on its body covered in a mess.
“Well done!!”
“Hit it now!!”
Natsu and Gray rushed to the unconscious rat and started punching and kicking it in the head.
Lucy was speechless when she saw this. This desire for revenge was too strong.
After a while, Natsu and Gray stopped and the others continued to move forward. Soon a ruin appeared in front of them.
Several people walked in. The ruins were huge, but now they were in ruins. The walls were full of cracks, and some pillars were broken and scattered on the ground due to their age.
Trees grow stubbornly through the rocks on the floor. Just a glance can tell that this relic is very old and has been abandoned for a long time.
“Look, there is a moon-like pattern here.”
At this time, Natsu noticed that there were some moon pattern decorations on the pillars of the wall ruins.
“Wasn’t this island called Moon Island before? It should be related to that.”
“Moon Island, Moon Curse, Moon Chapter, are there any connections between them?”
“By the way, this place looks shabby. Is this floor really solid?”
Natsu said this and stomped his feet hard on the floor twice.
The floor shattered with a loud bang, and a large hole appeared on the ground. Several people immediately fell in, and even Lin Lei, who was not paying attention, was also affected.
“You idiot!!”
“This floor is so spineless and weak!!”
“How can the floor have bones?!”
Several people fell to the ground below one after another.
Crash!
Linley emerged from the rubble, also looking a little dusty. He angrily slapped Natsu on the head and said, “You idiot! Consider the consequences before you act next time!!”
Lucy complained: “It seems that it is not your turn to say this…”
Although Natsu never considered the consequences of his actions, Linley was even worse than Natsu. With just one move, he destroyed half of Hargeon’s port or even a train.
Suddenly, Habib pointed in a direction with a shocked look on his face and shouted, “Everyone! Look over there!!”
A few people looked in the direction that the harpy pointed, and saw a huge monster that was frozen in the cave.
Gray’s pupils shrank when he saw the monster, and he shouted in a somewhat out-of-control manner:
“Deliora!!!”
Chapter 60: Invaders (Old Version)
“Huh?”
Several people were stunned when they heard Gray’s words.
Natsu asked with a confused look on his face, “Dally…? You know this thing?”
Gray seemed not to have heard it, his face full of horror and disbelief, he muttered to himself in panic:
“Impossible!! How could Deliora be here?!!! Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!”
Linley placed his hand on Gray’s shoulder: “Alright! Gray! Calm down!!”
After hearing Linley’s voice, Gray calmed down a little, but his body still couldn’t help shaking. It was obvious that this monster had brought him indelible and horrible memories.
“What on earth is this monster?”
Gray looked at the monster with fear and hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, “Deliora, the demon that brings disaster.”
“Ten years ago, it was doing all kinds of evil in Ishpan, and it was immortal. My parents and family were all killed by it. I was the only one who survived.”
“Later, it was my master Uru who taught me magic who sacrificed himself to seal it.”
“But this guy should be sealed in the iceberg on Beida Road. Why did he appear here?”
Lucy asked in surprise: “Beida Road, it’s thousands of miles away from here. Are you sure it’s this guy, and not a similar monster?”
“Of course I’m sure!! I would recognize this guy even if he turned into ash!! And this ice was frozen by the master who taught me magic using the Absolute Freeze. This is a magic that requires all life force to be converted into ice.”
Gray looked at the sealed monster with deep hatred in his eyes. Seeing this expression, several people knew that this monster was the one on Beida Road.
At this time, Linley raised his eyebrows and said, “Someone is coming.”
“What?! There are still people in this ruins?!”
Several people were stunned when they heard Lin Lei’s words. There was actually someone else in this ruins.
Linley closed his eyes and spread out his heart net.
The invisible electromagnetic field spread to encompass the entire ruins, and the electromagnetic waves generated by all the creatures in the ruins immediately gave Lin Lei feedback.
“Well… there are more than 40 people in total. Two of them are here temporarily, and another one is about to arrive.”
“More than forty people?!”
“There are so many people!!”
Now even Lucy knew that Linley had an extremely powerful perception, and Linley’s perception would never be wrong.
“Why are there so many people gathered here?! Isn’t this an abandoned ruin?”
At this time, footsteps were heard.
Lucy said, “Shh! Someone is coming! Let’s hide first!”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
A few people hid behind the rocks first.
Soon, two men appeared, one was shorter with thick eyebrows, and the other looked like a dog.
“Someone seems to be talking over here.”
“Oh.”
“Yuka, Tobi, I have to tell you something sad. Angelica was beaten by someone.”
A girl with heavy makeup came over.
Toby complained, “It’s just a rat!!”
The girl said in a sad tone: “She is not a mouse. Angelica is a hunter running in the darkness. This is love.”
Lucy shuddered when she heard what the girl said, “Here comes a weird human.”
Natsu sniffed and said, “They are not villagers from this island. They smell different.”
Happy nodded and added, “And they don’t feel cursed at all. Although I don’t know what’s going on with the man with ears.”
Yuka frowned, “Are there any intruders?”
Angelica was the guard they arranged around the ruins to prevent them from being harassed by others. The one who could defeat this big rat must be a magician. In addition, they seemed to have heard someone’s voice just now, so it was very likely that someone was coming.
“We are about to collect the light of Lord Moon. Really, this is such a sad thing. We should drive them out before Lord Zero knows about it, before Lord Moon shows up.”
“Yes, now that they have seen Deliora, we cannot let them go back alive.”
“Let the invader sleep forever, this is love.”
“It’s death, it’s killing them!!”
The three people gradually left while talking.
Natsu said unhappily, “Why should we hide? Can’t we just catch them and ask them clearly?”
“Didn’t you hear what Linley said? There are more than forty of them. If we take action, we will definitely attract them here.”
Natsu made a fist and said, “Then knock them all down.”
Gray punched the ground angrily: “Damn it, why did those guys move Deliora here? How did they find Deliora’s sealed place?”
“Although I don’t know what it has to do with the curse of this island, it definitely shouldn’t be here.”
“Zero Emperor… No matter who you are, if you want to tarnish the name of Uru, I will never let you go!!!”
Lucy guessed, “Could the curse of the island be related to this demon?”
They are all in the form of demons. Maybe it is the curse emitted by this thing that turned the villagers into demons.
Gray said: “It’s not impossible. This demon is still alive.”
“Good! In that case, just try to defeat this demon.”
Natsu was ready to kill the demon.
Gray heard this and quickly turned around and punched Natsu in the face, knocking him to the ground.
“Gray, you bastard, what are you doing?!”
Gray was very shocked and angry and said to Natsu: “Fire Mage, stay away from here! What if the ice melts and Deliora wakes up? ! ! “
“Is this seal so easy to melt?!”
“No… no…”
Gray suddenly came to his senses when he heard what Natsu said. Indeed, the magic of absolute ice could not be melted by fire, no matter how high the temperature of the fire was. He was just shocked, and his anger and fear overwhelmed his mind. He could no longer think rationally.
At this time, Linley stepped forward and said, “Alright, Gray, calm down. Natsu, don’t be so reckless. There is a very simple way now. That is to capture them all and find out the purpose of them being transported here by this thing. Since it was sealed by your master, you will make the decision.”
Chapter 61 It’s Me (Old Version)
Deliora, this is one of the real demons in the Book of Zeref.
Even though Deliora looked like this when he first appeared in the anime, and he only flashed by in the memories, judging by the strength of the demons in the Book of Zeref in the Hades Gate, this guy is obviously not simple.
With that kind of strength, not to mention Gray when he was young, even Gray now is far from being a match for Deliora.
What’s more, the members of Hades’ Gate have a special skill, which is resurrection.
Even if they are killed, they can be resurrected in a short time. This is the most difficult thing.
He remembered that in the animation, Laxus was almost killed by his opponent’s self-explosion, which sucked in a large amount of magic barrier particles. If it weren’t for Laxus’s dragon-slaying magic that greatly improved his physique, he would have died countless times.
Gray calmed down after hearing Linley’s words.
“No, we wait here until the moon comes out!”
He wanted to find out what the other party wanted to do by moving Deliora here from afar.
“The moon!! It’s still daytime. No, no, it will kill me!! And we are here to solve the curse!”
When Natsu heard that they had to wait until the moon appeared, he immediately refused.
“Whether it’s the curse of the island or Deliora, it’s all related to the moon. When the moon comes out at night, we’ll understand what’s going on. If this thing is really the cause, then we just need to take it away from the island and the mission will be completed.”
Gray looked at Lin Lei. Although Lin Lei said that he would give them a chance to show their talents, the person in charge of this mission was still Lin Lei. Lin Lei was an S-class wizard with a higher status than all of them, so naturally he had to listen to Lin Lei’s opinions.
“Since you said so, let’s decide it this way.”
Lin Lei said this and found a flat place to lie down and sleep. He had been feeling a little sleepy recently and didn’t know why.
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, who hadn’t slept the night before, quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Only Gray sat there, recalling every bit of the past in his mind.
Time passes quietly.
A loud roar was heard, waking up several people.
“What’s that sound?”
“Is it evening yet?”
“Look at the ceiling!!”
At this time, a hole slowly appeared in the ceiling, and a beam of purple moonlight passed through the ceiling and hit Deliora right below.
“The purple light, is it the light of the moon?!”
“What the hell is going on?!”
“Let’s go find the source of the light.”
Several people quickly ran up the stairs. When they reached the first floor, they found that light was shining down from the upper floors. So they ran up the stairs one floor at a time until they reached the top of the ruins.
“What is that?”
After they reached the top, they saw many people in robes, chanting incomprehensible spells and performing a mysterious ritual.
As the ceremony progressed, the moonlight from the purple moon in the sky was continuously gathered.
The light shines through the hole above the ruins onto Deliora at the bottom.
“These guys are really collecting moonlight!! Are they planning to resurrect that demon down there?!”
Lucy guessed.
“Impossible, the ice will never melt!”
Gray immediately denied it. Absolute Ice was an absolute sealing magic that his master Uru used to turn his life into eternal ice crystals to seal the target object forever. It was absolutely impossible to be melted.
Happy looked confused, “So what exactly are they planning to do? They can’t possibly do something like this for no reason.”
“What’s there to worry about? We can just catch them all and beat them up and we’ll know the answer.”
Natsu was ready to take action. When he encountered something he couldn’t understand, he would just use his fists to solve it.
“Wait! Someone’s coming!”
Lucy stopped Natsu.
Soon, a man wearing a horned helmet came over with the three people from the daytime.
“Damn it, I didn’t sleep during the day and now I’m so sleepy, but I still haven’t found the intruder.”
Yuka said with a sleepy look on his face.
“Intruders?”
The man wearing the horned helmet asked.
“It is a sad thing, Lord Lingdi. We found intruders during the day, but they seem to have escaped and I cannot show my love.”
The man in the horned helmet walked to the front and asked a short figure who was supervising, “Zalut, how long will it take for Deliora to be resurrected?”
“Hehehe, it’s almost there. The moon’s magic power has accumulated enough. Deliora may be resurrected at any time, either tonight or tomorrow night.”
Not far away, Lucy and the others heard the other party’s conversation: “Are they really going to resurrect Deliora?!”
“This voice…” Gray thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.
Hearing this, the man in the horned helmet smiled slightly and clenched his fists tightly: “It will be soon! I have been waiting for this day for ten years, and this day is finally coming.”
“The next moment is the most important. I don’t want any invaders to come here to cause trouble. There should be no one on this island except for the villages on the edge.”
“Although I don’t really like bloody scenes, in order for our plan to go smoothly, go and destroy that village for me.”
“learn!”
“Ohhh!”
The three people who had been seen during the day immediately set off upon hearing the order, preparing to go to the village and destroy it.
“What?”
“It obviously has nothing to do with the people in the village, what should we do?”
There was a sound of thunder in the sky and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
A big hole was suddenly blasted out on the ground.
The three were intercepted by falling lightning.
As lightning struck, a figure appeared in front of the three people.
Lucy didn’t expect Linley to make such a brilliant appearance.
“Who are you?!”
“You guys have been looking for the intruder who injured the giant rat during the day, right? It’s me!”
Chapter 62: Pride (Old Version)
“It’s you! You hurt Angelica!!”
After hearing Linley’s words, Shirley immediately looked at him angrily.
Toby complained, “It’s just a giant rat!!”
At this time, Gray also rushed out and rushed straight towards the man in the horned helmet.
“Gray!”
Natsu didn’t expect Gray to be faster than him.
“Asshole! Stop this boring ritual and behavior!!”
Gray pressed his hands on the ground, and ice cones rose from the ground.
The man in the horned helmet pressed one hand on the ground, and a magic almost identical to Gray’s appeared. The two magics collided and then canceled each other out.
“Leon… do you know what you are doing?”
Gray looked at the man in the horned helmet with a grim expression.
“Hey, long time no see, Gray.”
Happy exclaimed, “That guy uses ice too!”
Both parties were slightly surprised to see the almost identical magic attack. They were also able to call out each other’s names through magic. It was obvious that Gray and Leon knew each other.
Shirley saw the guild emblem on Natsu’s shoulder and recognized it immediately: “That emblem is Fairy Tail.”
Yuka guessed, “It looks like the people in the village asked the Wizard Guild for help!”
Natsu asked Gray, “Gray, do you know that guy?”
Gray nodded and stared at the man in the horned helmet: “He is my senior brother, Leon.”
“Senior Brother?!”
Several people did not expect that Gray and the other party were actually brothers in the same school.
Lucy asked in confusion, “That’s not right! If he’s your senior brother, why would he revive the monster that your master sealed with his life?!”
Gray questioned Leon and shouted, “This is also what I don’t understand! Leon! Give me an explanation! Why did you resurrect Deliora?!”
Leon snorted coldly and said, “Humph! It seems unnecessary to explain to you what I want to do, Gray. After ten years, you have become a little arrogant.”
After Leon finished speaking, he turned to look at Shirley and the other two and said, “You guys, go and eliminate those villagers.”
Natsu and Lucy were stunned, weren’t they here, why did they have to kill those innocent villagers.
“Anyone who hinders or attempts to hinder us is an enemy. I can handle this by myself. This is a critical moment. I don’t want any accidents to happen even if there is a slight risk.”
Shirley and the other two immediately tried to avoid Linley.
Three bolts of lightning fell towards Shirley and the other two, and they quickly dodged.
A big pit was created by lightning where the three people were before.
Linley’s voice sounded calmly, “That won’t do. If you let my client suffer even a little, I would be very embarrassed.”
Crack! Crack!!
Blue-white arcs of electricity appeared around Linley’s body.
“Linley! Wait a minute! Let me take care of Leon!!”
Gray shouted at this time.
“Lin Lei? Could this guy be?!”
When Gray called out Linley’s name, the masked, short man named Zaruto beside Leon suddenly thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
“Why? Zaruut, do you know him?”
Leon looked at Zaruto.
“Of course I know him! Lord Lingdi came to Karna Island three years ago. I didn’t know this. This is a wizard who suddenly rose to prominence in the past three years. He is the legendary wizard ‘Thunder God’ Linley. He is well-known in Fiore, no, even in the entire Ishgar continent. I didn’t expect such a big shot to appear here.”
Urrutia had not expected that Linley, who had just destroyed the Iron Forest not long ago, would appear here. Although she had heard a lot of information about Linley, this was the first time she had seen him in person, and the first meeting was in this occasion. This was not a good thing.
Yuka’s face changed drastically when he heard what Zaruto said: “’Thunder God’ Lin Lei?! He is the legendary ‘Thunder God’ Lin Lei?! I heard the president mention that this guy is an incredible monster.”
Toby nodded in agreement, “Oh! I’ve heard of that too! This guy is said to have wiped out more than a dozen dark guilds in one go.”
“Shirley has also heard of him. He is the most popular wizard in the Kingdom of Fiore right now.”
The three people’s eyes changed when they looked at Lin Lei at this moment. They all looked as if they were facing a great enemy. The shadow of a person’s life tree. The main reason why Lin Lei could have such a great reputation was due to his strength.
In the magic world, strength is paramount. If you have strength, you can naturally become famous. Conversely, lack of fame is also the result of insufficient strength.
“Humph! Who cares if you are the God of Thunder or not? Anyone who dares to hinder me will die!”
Leon didn’t care about fame at all. If he wanted to, he could have become a famous wizard long ago. In his opinion, his strength has surpassed that of his master Uru, so he is the strongest wizard in the world. The title of Thor is just an exaggerated title and he can never be his opponent.
“ICEMAKE·Eagle!!”
Leon raised his hand and a group of ice eagles flew towards Linley.
“ICEMAKE Lancer!!”
Gray released ice javelins with both hands, intercepting and smashing many ice eagles in the air.
“Leon, your opponent is me!”
Hearing this, Leon took off his horn helmet and threw it on the ground: “Gray, I haven’t seen you for ten years. You have really become arrogant. You even dare to provoke me.”
“In that case, let’s have our long-awaited showdown.”
“Go ahead and kill them all!”
Upon hearing Leon’s order, all those who were performing the ceremony drew their weapons and rushed towards Linley.
“20,000 volts! Discharge!!”
Linley said calmly.
A huge arc of electricity emanated from Linley’s body, instantly striking those people.
“Ughh …
Everyone screamed and then fell to the ground.
Lucy couldn’t help but widen her eyes after seeing this: “So…so scary!!!”
Chapter 63: Magic (Old Version)
She had seen Linley use the terrifying move of Divine Judgment to destroy half of Hargeon Harbor with one strike.
But seeing that Lin Lei knocked down so many people with just one blow was another kind of shock.
That casual behavior was as if all these people were knocked down by just moving his fingers.
“This guy!”
When Leon saw Linley knock down so many people with just one strike, his expression became serious.
Upon seeing this, Shirley and the other two immediately prepared to use magic. Facing a guy with such a terrifying reputation as Linley, they had no room for ease.
A violent flame rushed towards Shirley and the other two.
“Wave Barrier!!”
When Yuka saw this, he immediately stood in front of Shirley and Toby, creating a vibrating barrier in front of his palm.
Natsu’s fire was intercepted by the barrier, and the three people behind the barrier were not harmed.
“What?! Natsu’s attack was blocked?!”
Lucy and Happy were also shocked when they saw this. Natsu’s roar attack power was very strong. They rarely saw anyone who could block Natsu’s attack.
“What a savage flame, being able to spit out flames from your mouth, you look like the legendary fire dragon from Fairy Tail. I never thought that the two most popular people in the Kingdom of Fiore, the Thunder God and the Fire Dragon, would appear here at the same time. How could we be so worthy of such a position?”
Yuka said that although they had been mainly on Karna Island for the past three years, they still had to go to Hargeon Port from time to time to purchase supplies.
As a wizard, he would naturally pay attention to some news in the magic world. Since Thor disappeared half a year ago, Fire Dragon has become famous and is now an equally popular wizard.
“Eh?! You guys are not trash!!”
Natsu was a little surprised. To be honest, the one he wanted to deal with the most was Gray’s senior brother, because that guy was obviously the strongest at first glance.
But they are fellow disciples, and it would not be appropriate for me to intervene at this time, so I might as well deal with these three guys.
After all, these guys are going to harm their clients. For the guild wizards, the safety of the clients is the top priority while carrying out their mission.
“Trash? We were once wizards from a famous guild. You should have heard of the Scales of the Snake Princess.”
“Snake Princess’ Scale?! I’ve heard of it!!”
Lucy exclaimed after hearing this. Although Snake Scale is not as famous as Fairy Tail, it is also one of the top three guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore.
In particular, there is a man called ‘Rock Iron’ in the Snake Princess Scale Guild, Jura, who is one of the Ten Holy Mages of Ishgar.
When she hadn’t joined the Fairy Tail Guild yet, she had considered that if she couldn’t join Fairy Tail, then Snake Princess Scale would be her main alternative.
Toby said proudly: “Yes, we have Jura, who is known as ‘Rock Iron’, oh oh.”
“Who cares about you!!”
“I don’t care which guild you are from or who your companions are. If you want to harm my client, you will hinder my work and make me an enemy of Fairy Tail. That’s all I need to know.”
Natsu said as he stared at the three men with murderous intent in his eyes.
“Leave these three guys, Lin Lei, to me. You said you wanted us to complete the mission.”
Linley spread his hands and said, “It’s up to you.”
When Natsu heard that Linley would not intervene, he clapped his fists and smiled excitedly: “You belong to me!!”
Shirley and the other two looked unhappy: “It seems like we are being underestimated.”
After all, these three people are wizards of the Snake Princess Scale Guild, and the elites of the guild. Although they have retired now, they are still looked down upon by their peers, which is something that no wizard in the guild can tolerate.
Yuka said: “Shirley, Toby, the two of you don’t interfere, let me deal with this guy, you go deal with the others!”
Toby immediately rushed towards Linley, but Natsu rushed in front of Toby and knocked Toby back with an elbow.
“I told you, you are mine!!”
Natsu said as he attacked the three men.
Lucy was a little worried when she saw this: “Lin Lei, are we really not going to interfere?”
“Since they said they want to solve it themselves, if I intervene at this time, wouldn’t it mean I don’t trust them? Besides, I have my own things to do.”
Linley looked at the short man wearing a mask.
Lucy and Happy also noticed the man called Zaruto not far away. Because of his short stature and low presence, neither of them paid attention to him because he really did not look like a threat.
Lucy asked curiously, “What happened to him?!”
Linley smiled and said, “Well, him! He has the highest magic power among all the people present. In terms of magic power alone, he is at least twice as powerful as the others.”
Lucy and Happy were shocked.
Not only Lucy and Happy, but also Natsu, Gray, and several other people looked at the short man wearing the mask in disbelief, as if they had no idea about the situation at all, and looked at Zaruto in disbelief.
There is actually a guy with such powerful magic hidden by my side. This guy is mysterious. He must have some ulterior motive for possessing such powerful magic and hiding it.
“Zalut, is what he said true?!”
Leon looked at Zarut with sharp eyes.
“It’s unfair! Lord Lingdi! I admit that I know a little magic, but it’s not as exaggerated as Lord Thundergod said. Maybe Lord Thundergod has misperceived it.”
Urrutia cursed inwardly, what on earth is wrong with this Lin Lei? He could actually sense his magic power. This guy’s perception was too sensitive.
Lucy also wondered if Linley had sensed it wrongly. How could a guy with such powerful magic be like this?
“impossible!”
Happy said, “Lin Lei’s mind net can never be wrong! Lin Lei’s mind net can accurately sense the opponent’s position and movements, and it is even easier to sense the opponent’s magic power.”
Chapter 64: The Arc of Time (Old Version)
The whole place became a little quiet.
Happy’s confident tone, coupled with the feedback from Gray and Natsu’s facial expressions, made Leon and the others know that what Linley said must be true. After all, there was no need for the other party to lie.
Leon and others looked at Urrutia with vigilance. They all knew that Urrutia was a sinister person, so they had always been on guard against her.
However, they had always relied on their own strong strength and did not care what the other party was thinking.
Now that they heard Linley say that the other party’s magic power was twice as much as their own, even though they did not believe this data, there was no doubt that this guy was definitely not simple.
“Since you all think that I have bad intentions and don’t trust me, then I will leave.”
As soon as Urrutia finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet was suddenly cut into a neat circle and fell into the ruins.
“Oh no! He’s trying to escape!”
When Lucy saw the other person entering the ruins, she immediately chased after him. However, as soon as she got there, she saw that the hole that had just shattered suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
“What?! Recovered?!”
Lucy and Happy were surprised to see the ground was smooth again. They saw with their own eyes a hole, and how it was restored in an instant without any sign of damage.
“The arc of time?”
Linley naturally recognized this magic. It was Urrutia’s signature magic, which was related to time and was undoubtedly very special.
It’s a pity that this magic cannot work on the human body, otherwise it would definitely be the most powerful magic.
“Don’t worry, no one can escape from me unless they teleport away from this island in an instant.”
Lightning gathered around Linley’s feet, and he stomped lightly.
The ground beneath his feet exploded, and Linley chased after Urrutia.
Urrutia seemed a little annoyed at the moment. If Fairy Tail hadn’t come to make trouble, Deliora would have been resurrected immediately.
I didn’t expect Lin Lei to appear and reveal his magic power. Now I had to avoid him first.
The wall in front of Urrutia was decaying.
“Hey! See you again!”
Before Urrutia entered, he saw that Linley had already appeared in the room.
Urrutia’s face changed, and he waved his hand quickly. The wall that had just had a big hole in it was instantly restored.
A beam of lightning directly shattered the wall that Urrutia had just restored.
Urrutia screamed, she was almost hit by lightning just now.
Urrutia pressed her hands on the floor, and a big hole appeared on the floor again. She fell to the next level and restored the floor to its original state.
Another bolt of lightning shot down from the ceiling.
Linley appeared before Urrutia.
Urrutia began to run quickly, and the walls decayed and then recovered.
This time, Linley did not chase after him. Instead, he used his mind network to sense Urrutia’s constantly moving position.
At the same time, he took out a coin.
Lightning was wrapped around Linley’s arms.
bite!
Linley flicked his fingers.
call out—-!
The coin was ejected at an extremely terrifying speed, rubbing against the air and forming an orange beam of light.
The powerful kinetic energy produces a devastating impact.
Smash everything in front of you.
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the ruins, and the huge vibration and sound scared everyone.
Compared to others, Urrutia was even more frightened. He was almost killed just by a little bit.
No! She couldn’t run away! She had to fight head-on, otherwise if she was attacked like this again, she couldn’t guarantee that she would be lucky enough to avoid it every time.
“Hey! You’re not going to run away this time?”
“Lord Thundergod, I have never offended you, right? Why do you keep pursuing me?”
Urrutia suppressed his inner anger and asked in a cold voice.
Linley smiled and said, “Well… nothing much. I just thought you had pretty good magic power, so I wanted to have some fun with you.”
Urrutia narrowed his eyes slightly. “Since the legendary ‘God of Thunder’ thinks highly of me, I will come and meet the legendary ‘God of Thunder’.”
Seeing this, Urrutia knew he couldn’t escape, so he simply stood up.
Even a clay figure has a temper, not to mention that she is the leader of the seven followers of the Devil’s Heart Purgatory.
A crystal ball appeared in Urrutia’s hand, and she controlled the crystal ball to shoot towards Linley.
Linley threw it away casually.
The crystal ball shattered directly.
However, the shattered crystal ball immediately returned to its original shape in the blink of an eye and shot towards Lin Lei again. Lin Lei did not even turn his head, but slightly turned his head to avoid the attack of the crystal ball.
“One is not enough? Then ten!”
In the blink of an eye, the original crystal ball suddenly turned into ten, and ten crystal balls shot towards Lin Lei.
“20,000 volts, discharge!!”
Powerful high voltage electricity was released from Linley’s body, sweeping across all the crystal balls and causing them to explode.
But in the blink of an eye, all the broken crystal balls were restored to their original state.
“I can manipulate the time of objects, which means I can return sleep to the time before the destruction. That means no matter how many times you destroy it, I can restore it. I wonder what Lord Thor thinks of my magic.”
Urrutia said with some pride that the arc of time was the magic she was most proud of. Magic attributes actually had different levels, and among all magic attributes, time was the most special and most advanced.
Linley said expressionlessly:
“boring!”
