Chapter 418: The Storm Changes
After the New Year, it's time to go all out to make "Fate", and the serialization of Demon Tail is getting better.
Since the appearance of online serialization last year, after half a year of brewing, online serialization has become the favorite of many cartoonists who are ready to start a new serial...... Without good manuscripts, magazines can't sell, and if magazines can't sell, publishing houses can only drink the northwest wind. "Yunyun.
Everyone in the industry knows that with "Fairy Tail" as a benchmark, there will only be fewer and fewer cartoonists who choose to serialize, and the decline in the quality of comics will drive readers, and after experiencing the convenience of online subscription, they will slowly become loyal readers of online serialization. Especially after Phoenix Publishing House announced that "the physical serialization will be canceled on March 1, and all its comics will be merged into the comics department of station B".
The Phoenix merger into the B slash had a wide impact.
The merger of Phoenix into Station B took away a large number of readers, and many magazines were affected in this turmoil, especially the four major and eight small ones were the most affected, and the sales of the most miserable Huangquan Publishing House directly shrank by half. In the next half month, more than a dozen small and medium-sized magazines were acquired by Station B, and the comics department under Station B also became the largest department in the company, with nearly 1,000 employees.
So many people won't all stay.
Wang Ming roughly divided the comics into ten categories: fantasy, urban, supernatural, campus, suspense, science fiction, otherworldly, history, magic, and the end of the world.
I could comfort myself before that the results of the demon tail were just a flash in the pan, but when the phoenix, one of the eight smalls, merged into station B, the storm caused by half a month made the capitalists unable to sit still, after all, no one could get along with money.
Businessmen understand that the easiest way to make a lot of money is to plunder market resources as much as possible when an industry is just starting out. We're not afraid to be slow in creativity, but we have money. So throughout March, the comic market set off a bloody storm, and the market has set up Penguin Animation Network, U17 Animation Network, Paradise Comics, Comic House and other websites. The four big and eight small magazines were almost divided up by these comic websites, and by mid-April, only Four Seasons and Immortal River were still holding on.
The former did not agree to the acquisition because the sales of "Cat Look" maintained the bottom line of 10 million in the storm in March and April, and "Wildfire" was at the bottom of 8 million, which was much stronger than two years ago. The latter, Immortal River, is torn between Penguin, Station B and U17, hoping to sell for the maximum value.
In the midst of this upheaval, the trend-setting "Fairy Tail" is also set to reach a shocking 50 million in mid-April.
The manga is updated with two words a week, and it was serialized to the ending of the Iron Forest chapter last week.
Iron Mori tells the story of Iron Forest, a dark union affiliated with the Six Demon Generals, who wants to assassinate the guild leader who is holding a regular meeting in Kuloba Town. Elusa stumbles upon their plot and secretly returns to the guild to assemble the strongest team of Natsu, Gray, and Lucy to hunt them down. Due to the need to travel by train, Natsu relapses and takes another stop, but this time he bumps into Kagayama and sees the Flute of the Damned.
Afraid that his plan would be thwarted, Eligor sent his minions and Demon Wind Wall to besiege Natsu and the others at Osibana Station, but after a hard fight, it was difficult to parry because of the other party's peculiar attack methods. With the help of the Star Spirits, the group finally repelled the Iron Forest led by Elligor, but inadvertently allowed Kagayama to retrieve the Cursed Flute. The Flute of the Curse seals the demon created by Jelf, and Kagayama, forced by Eligor, angers the demon with tears of pain and orders the demon to wreak havoc in the venue.
After a great battle, Natsu and the others finally defeated the demon and incorporated the reformed Kagayama into the Fairy Tail Guild.
Today's update has finally arrived, and the long-awaited Elusa vs. Natsu!
These two plus Gray are the stars of hope for Fairy Tail, the future stars with the greatest potential in the entire union.
"I think the strongest is Natsu! He's the main character, and he also has the dragon-slaying magic taught by the dragons, so he can be said to have the strongest potential in the Star of Hope! ”
"Natsu is still weak now, right? Elusa is the first of the three future stars to be promoted to an A-rank magician, and she was even rated by the guild as 'the closest A-rank magician to an S-class magician', so she is also the strongest in the A-rank. In the case that Natsu can only open three felonies, Elusa is the strongest A-level magician, and it is not too easy to kill a B-level strongest. Natsu is still far off. ”
"Not necessarily! Elusa had said before that she didn't think she could suppress Natsu, who had committed three felonies, so Natsu only needed to consume Elusa's power first, and then burst out in one breath, and a set of skills would take Elusa away directly! ”
The audience has different opinions, but in general, there are the most people who support the main character.
"Emperor Yan Armor! It's exactly what I want, and it looks like I can use all my strength! ”
Natsu didn't have any idea of retaining his strength, and as soon as he came up, he directly opened the triple crime, and confronted Elusa head-on. Natsu, who has committed a triple crime, can gather the flames into his fists and punch them, and the impact of the flames can further strengthen Natsu's attack. The powerful attack forced Elusa to retreat, and the audience screamed with excitement.
"Look, what I said, the protagonist is undefeated!"
The fire of a felony cannot be used in battle, it can only change the physique, the fire of the felony can be separated from the body, and the transformation of the physique has also been preliminarily completed, and Natsu is also the first duel with Elusa after opening the second sin, at that time Alusa was already a well-known B-level magician, so she naturally defeated Natsu easily.
As her body grows, Natsu's appetite grows, and shortly before the plot begins, the Third Sin of Gluttony awakens. Natsu's strength has entered a period of rapid growth, and he has jumped from C-rank to B-rank peak magician, and the president of Fairy Tail commented that he "can become an A-rank magician with more experience".
In order to become stronger, Natsu consulted with all those who were stronger than him during his time in the union, which was the reason why he and Elusa got into a fight.
As soon as they started, the two were interrupted by an aunt with a toad face, who claimed to be a representative of the council, and this time came to arrest Elusa on charges of damaging objects and other crimes. Then Natsu made a big fuss at the meeting, and the angry councillors arrested the two and put them in prison, and Elusa also showed her gentle side for the first time-
"You're hopelessly stupid, but I'm happy!"
The popularity of Fairy Tail's female characters also changed drastically after these words.
"In just one story, Teacher Qingbai perfectly expressed the image of a powerful female magician who is loved by others and has strong fighting spirit and faith, which is really great."
"She is naturally beautiful, the first time Lucy saw Elusa, she imagined that she had completely captured me in women's clothes, and with her bold and unpretentious style, how could I not like her."
"Actually, Lucy is the second female, and Elusa is the first female!"
