Chapter 18: The Magnificent Magus
The next day, at the train station, Natsu, who had arrived earlier, and Gray and the two of them quarreled again while Elusa was away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lucy had to smile bitterly on the sidelines. Putting these two discordant guys into a team can only be done by the mighty and domineering Lord Elusa, right?
Remembering what Mila Jeanne had said to her yesterday, Lucy began to regret taking the errand.
Because Mira Jenny is also worried that this improvised team will not get along, she specially asks Lucy to act together in order to reconcile their relationship.
But the two in front of him are not only Lucy's seniors, but also the main magicians of the powerful faction in the guild, and their personalities are quite troublesome, not like good and obedient guys at all. And then there's the formidable "Discipline Commissioner" Elusa, who Lucy feels pressured to just stand in front of her, and it's a bit difficult to get her to do the task of coordinating the relationship.
In a sense, these three people are really the "strongest squad" of the guild. Speaking of which, Lucy would rather work with Mila Jenny and Woz, the only two normal people in the guild.
It's been a few days since she joined the guild, and Lucy already knows Nazgray's usual face. But she was still very unfamiliar with the Elusa who only came back yesterday, it was the strongest female sorcerer with the title of "Fairy Queen", and Lucy was a little nervous when she thought of going on a mission with her.
It's a feeling that Lucy is familiar with, and has been in a similar pattern since she entered Fairy Tail: longing, nervousness, then disillusionment, and finally familiarity and acceptance and even blending in...... Lucy discovers that the guilds and wizards she has always longed for are not as tall as she thought.
For example, Elusa, who is obviously a beautiful sorcerer, is always wearing armor and carrying a whole cart of luggage when she goes out on a mission!
As soon as the train started, Natsu began to get motion sickness as usual, completely losing the aura he had had just given to Elusa. In this regard, the other people were already surprised, but seeing Natsu's uncomfortable appearance, Lucy also felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Elusa seemed to have a lot of experience and asked Natsu to change the seat next to her.
Then, with a punch, Natsu was knocked unconscious: "This way he will feel better." ”
Hehe, yes. Lucy smiled dryly, cold sweat flowing, and her heart was really the method that Elusa would use.
For the newcomer Lucy, Elusa still showed a lot of approval, and mistook Natsu's record in several missions for Lucy's like Gray did yesterday.
Seeing that Elusa was very appreciative, and had the intention of sending herself directly to the front line as a strongman of Natsu's level, Lucy hurriedly explained clearly.
"Speaking of which, what kind of magic does Miss Elusa use? Ordinary magicians don't wear armor, do they?" Lucy said, changing the subject.
Elusa smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, just call me Elusa." The magic I use is actually quite ordinary. ”
"Elusa's magic is beautiful. Harpy said, "There's going to be a lot of red liquid spilling out." ”
Lucy made up for a moment, and suddenly shuddered: "That's terrifying!"
Elusa didn't care, but said, "Speaking of pretty, I think Gray's magic is beautiful." ”
Gray said, "Really?" Although he was calm, he still seemed a little happy to receive Elusa's praise. Demonstrate on the spot. The right hand clenched into a fist and stood on the palm of the left hand, and the small ice-blue magic array flashed away.
With his right fist outstretched, a guild heraldic statue of a small fairy tail hovers over the palm of his hand, made of ice condensed and crystal clear. Delicate and beautiful indeed.
"This is my ice magic. Gray said.
Lucy couldn't help but admire it, and then suddenly thought of something, looked at Gray, and then looked at Natsu who fell on Elusa's lap, and suddenly realized: "Ice and fire, so your relationship with Natsu is so bad!"
Elusa asked, "Is that so? and for such a reason!" she said, looking at Gray with an inquiring look.
"I want you to take care of it!" Gray also hurriedly diverted the topic, "Speaking of Elusa, can you tell me about the specific situation of this mission?"
Elusa became serious and began to explain why. It turned out that on the way back from her previous mission, she accidentally heard someone in the bar trying to break some seal in order to get something called Larabay. Later, I remembered that it was someone from the Dark Guild Iron Forest, who had been on the wanted list of the Senate. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the Iron Forest Guild had recently seemed to be planning a large-scale operation, most likely related to Larabay. In any case, as a notorious assassination guild, Iron Forest's actions could not have been charity, and Elusa was keenly aware of the seriousness of the matter, so she decided to push it down.
"But it's a whole guild after all, and I'm going to have a hard time speaking alone, so I need your help. She explained the reason earnestly, "It would have been much easier if Woz could have cooperated with me, but since he can't get out of the matter, it's almost the same as looking for you." ”
The opponent is an entire guild?Lucy felt her cold sweat run open like a floodgate. Or a terrifying dark guild!
Gray always looked calm: "What is that Lalabbaye?"
"Sounds like a hypnotic spell. Elusa guessed.
Lucy raised her hand and said, "Yesterday I heard Mila Jenny and Woz talk about what seems to be a kind of demon in Jelf's magic book. ”
"Jeff's demon, really!" Gray instantly cheered up, and even the temperature around him dropped slightly.
Elusa nodded, "Is that so? since it was Wads, it's basically certain...... Sure enough, it's the style of the Dark Guild. It seems that this time they will have to stop their actions anyway. Be careful, though, as the leader of the Iron Forest, and their trump card, is Eligor, nicknamed the Grim Reaper, a powerful sorcerer who is proficient in wind magic. Because he ignored the rules of the council for money and accepted the assassination mission, he was deprived of his guild qualification six years ago, and since then he has gone underground and become a dark guild, which is a very difficult enemy. Such an enemy cannot be careless!"
"It sounds even more dangerous. Lucy regretted joining the strongest team. As a newcomer, it's too difficult to start with a mission of this level, right?
"Lucy was so juicy. Harpy said next to him.
It's sweat, cold sweat. Lucy complained silently.
At the Kunuki railway station, a group of fierce-faced people took over the railway station strongly. The leader was a gloomy man with white hair and a scythe of death. It was none other than the entire members of the Iron Forest and their leader, Eligor.
Eligor was very dissatisfied at this time, and kicked Kageyama who was kneeling on the ground, "You mean that our actions were known by Fairy Tail?
"I'm sorry, but the chant is ready. Kageyama didn't dare to resist, instead pulling out a flute with a strange shape.
At the same time, he was rushing to the magic guide car at the Kunuki train station. Elusa is using her magic to drive the car at a rapid pace.
Lucy suddenly said, "I remember, I read it in a book: Lalabhai, the curse of death, has the collective curse magic that kills everyone who hears it." ”
"Damn!" Elusa cursed, picking up speed again.
Gray worried, "Elusa, you're going to consume a lot of mana like this. Is that okay?"
"It's okay, even if I don't have magic, I'll be able to sacrifice them with blood. ”
When you arrive at the train station, you will be confronted by the members of the Iron Forest, who are nearly 100 people. Obviously, the three Elusa were in the minority, but they fearlessly attacked first.
Lucy finally saw Elusa's magic.
It's beautiful, maybe it's gorgeous.
As Elusa herself said, her magic was ordinary. In short, it's just a disguise magic, a magic that has become popular, and is sold as a cosmetic product in every magic shop. For female magicians who love beauty, it's almost a portion for everyone. Taking a step back, even as a combat type of costume magic, it is the basic configuration magic of ordinary magicians, and the use of magic space to store weapons to facilitate combat is even the standard configuration of the Iron Forest minions in front of them.
However, Elusa is different, as the fairy queen, and as the strongest female mage, Elusa's costume magic is different.
Magic swords, spears, axes, dual swords, Elusa switches weapons with little to no delay, and the rhythm is mastered superbly. Before Lucy was ready to fight, Elusa had switched four weapons in a row, cutting down nearly ten enemies. The scene was really like what Harpy said, with blood splashing everywhere, sharp and ferocious.
Harpy flew in the air and said to Lucy at leisure: "Ordinary costume magic is just switching weapons while fighting, but Elusa's costume magic can not only switch weapons, but a powerful magic that switches all the armor of the whole body together, called a knight." ”
At this point, the enemy began to try to stop Elusa's slash with a magical attack. However, Elusa's whole body gushed out a huge wave of magical power, and the armor on her body melted away in the shining light, and new armor resurfaced in the crimson magic array.
"It's so pretty......" Lucy couldn't help but admire.
When the light dissipated, Elusa was already a different look, wearing another set of ornate armor, carrying three pairs of white wings, and a ring of sharp swords floating behind her back. It is majestic like an angel descending.
Elusa's expression was awe-inspiring, and with an inviolable majesty, she shouted, "Heavenly Wheel, Sword of Circulation." The sword behind her detached from its original position, and it drew a snowy arc of light, striking at the group of enemies, knocking down more than half of them in an instant. It seems that she does have the strength to defeat an entire guild single-handedly, and if she wants to find helpers, I'm afraid it's just to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, right?
What's more, on the way, Elusa also drove the magic guide car with all her might, and it had already consumed a lot of mana, and it was really hard to imagine what kind of magic power this powerful woman had.
The full-body costume magic itself is a magic that tests the amount of magic reserves, otherwise it would not be the only one in the entire continent who has mastered this magic. Again, this magic is a great test of the sorcerer's physical strength and physical skills. A "knight" cannot be used by a person who does not have a comparable level of equipment combat and physical strength enough to drive armor into battle, and Elusa is more of a magical warrior than a magician. It's a unique magic that only she can use.
A variety of armor, flexible switching of weapons, strong combat skills, first-class tactical acumen, and heroic and fearless spirit have made the fairy queen famous.
In terms of mana reserves alone, Elusa had actually reached the level of the Saint Ten Magiers.
