The northernmost part of the Fiori Kingdom, Lingfeng Zhuoani. Ｘ

According to the legend of the continent of Ishgar, this is the land where the mythical Black Celestial Maiden and the White Celestial Maiden fought each other, and the final result was that the White Celestial Maiden won the victory, so that the hills of this generation were covered with snow all day long.

It's just that recently, there seem to be more and more other rumors here.

……

“…… Brunette's undead? ”

In the village at the foot of Lingfeng, a middle-aged stubble man with a big orange back and a dark green cloak touched his head and looked troubled.

Originally, he was challenging the highest centennial mission in the magic world, and he shouldn't have made a difference, but he couldn't resist the 'hospitality' of the village chief's granddaughter who was easily saved, so this 'blood surge' uncle had to accept it.

It's just that the monsters that will appear in the Great Snow Mountain are generally not all Valken or Snow Maidens, aren't they? What the hell is the undead......

"Hmm...... Actually......"

Knowing that his explanation might be a little vague, the hunchbacked village chief had no choice but to recall the details that the villagers had told him.

The reason why she thought of the figure as an undead was because several hunters who had gone out had said that no matter how much they attacked, they didn't answer their questions, and they would disappear quickly after each appearance, and what was even more strange was that the places where she stayed would have a natural phenomenon of avalanches after the hunters left.

If this goes on in the long run, it will seriously affect their lives.

“…… And I don't know why, this 'ghost' has been haunting more and more frequently recently, and if this continues, the young people in the village are afraid to go hunting. ”

"So please, mighty sorcerer, whether it's an undead or a monster, could you please do me a favor?"

With his grandfather's pleading, the young granddaughter also attached to the big man's body, which made the middle-aged man's face immediately change happily.

But unexpectedly, the good-looking guy then gently pushed the girl away very gentlemanly, and then picked up the luggage again.

When everyone was disappointed and thought that he was going to refuse, the middle-aged man who walked to the gate of the village slowly opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I have other tasks on this time, because it's a matter of guild honor...... But ......"

He smiled boldly, and the big man with a twist in his words continued to add.

"If you run into it on the road, I'll definitely help you clean it up."

Pointing to the coat of arms on his chest with his thumb, wasn't the location the villager talking about exactly the same as the direction he was going to go?

So this man, the strongest super S-class magician of Fairy Tail today, Kildas Clavi made a promise.

……

“…… But pick up the undead, oops...... I said something like that for a while, the kind of disembodied thing that I am not good at dealing with......"

"If it's a giant snow monster or a king Valken, it would be fine......"

Walking on the cliff with a bitter face against the wind and snow, the monsters mentioned by Kildas just now are the top snow-capped monsters in the wanted list, and they have become characters that can be cleaned up casually in his mouth.

This is not a rhetoric, but a rightful confidence.

With the almost pinnacle of super-superior destruction magic, Smash, he has dealt with countless monsters of this kind and even above so far.

"Shhh...... Then again, it's really cold here......"

Rubbing his arm to get some heat, Kildas still shivered.

It is worthy of being a place with the name of the Spirit Peak, and he will feel cold when he covers the surface of his body with his magic power, which shows how dense the aether factor is in the atmosphere here.

“…… Is it a century-old task that no one can accomplish...... It took almost three years...... I'm finally at the end of the mission. ”

“…… Old man...... Natsu ......"

Thinking that he would soon be able to see his family who were still waiting for him in the guild, the corners of Kildas's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a nostalgic smile.

(Wait for me...... It's almost over...... ）

（…… Well? ）

Just as he mustered up his strength and strode forward to climb the cliff, several monsters suddenly appeared in front of him.

“…… Hey...... King Valken...... One, two, there are actually four? ”

One super monster that was enough for an ordinary S-class magician to drink a pot appeared four at a time, and instead of panicking, the man rubbed his fists even more excitedly.

Maybe for Kildas, it's just the right time to move around in the cold.

It's just that his idea is good, but the goal of these monsters doesn't seem to be him.

“！”

"Is that ......?!"

It turned out that in front of the line of sight, there was a petite figure surrounded by four monsters, which looked like it was about to be attacked.

"Danger!"

Burning with magic, Kildas rushed forward without hesitation.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

（…… The direction of flow of the leylines...... Node of Mana...... And also...... ）

Squatting on the ground and closing his eyes to perceive something, the figure with a black hood exhaled lightly, bringing up some heat and causing ice fog.

She wasn't dressed like this at first, but lately, there have been some strange rumors circulating......

(That's all over...... And then there'...... ）

The silver-gray light in her hand flickered, and the figure that seemed to have completed some arrangement slowly got up, ready to deal with the uninvited guests who found her aura gathered.

“…… Four horses...... I didn't expect there to be so many ...... here."

Whispering to herself, she had been here for so long, she didn't know how many of these monsters she had dealt with.

(So...... Forehead?! ）

"Danger!"

Just as the figure was about to make a move, not far away, a majestic magic power continued to spread, and with it, there was a domineering attack.

"Break the evil and show the right for a day!"

As soon as he made a move, he used his strongest move to 'save the field', and the storm generated by the huge fist pressure even changed the terrain in an instant, roaring towards the mountains.

“……”

(This guy seems to be...... ）

Unfrightened by the monster-like strength of the comer, the hooded figure seemed to have a little impression of the person in front of him.

"Are you alright?!"

With one punch, he knocked away the four top-level monsters around him, and the man who appeared heroically smiled at the person he saved.

（…… ）

(I'm being saved by a hero...... Ahem!! ）

With the subtle thought of 'I also have today', the figure raised his head slightly to look at each other.

“…… Girl?! ”

Seeing the face under the hood, I felt that it was really a good day for 'heroes to save beauty' recently, and this somewhat nonsensical powerful man Kirdas exclaimed.

In this way, two people with different tasks, but have something in common somewhere, met in this most special snow-capped mountain.

And everything Kildas saw after that made him unforgettable in his life.
