The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Tap tap tap...

Late at night in Magnolia, a cherry-haired boy wearing a white scarf ran wildly on the street, his cool flip-flops making noisy footsteps on the ground. Next to him, followed by a flying blue cat.

“There’s nothing here… there’s nothing here… there’s no… there’s no Lucy smell anywhere!!!”

After an unknown amount of time, Natsu, who had searched to no avail, sat on a long stone bench by the roadside, lowering his head and meditating. The weak incandescent light shone on him, flickering on and off.

The inexplicable uneasiness rising in his heart stirred up his nerves all the time, but Natsu relied on his strong heart to suppress it, and managed to analyze it with Habi's insufficient IQ.

"Happy, where do you think Lucy will go?"

"I have no clue either!" Habi raised his little paw and scratched his head and asked, "Compared to that, Natsu, have you noticed that the street is much quieter than usual, and there are no stray cats or dogs. No drunk old men or young girls.”

"Indeed, in the past, no matter how late it was, there would always be some movement, but now it's like we are the only ones left in Magnolia."

Having said this, Natsu and Habi couldn't help but look around. At this moment, they suddenly discovered that the weird magic book was quietly placed beside them!

"This is?!"

"That magic book?! It appears again?!"

"It obviously wasn't there just now!"

Habi shouted and ran anxiously: "It's over! Natsu, we must be entangled by the ghosts living in the book! [The souls that cannot die completely will be placed here. ], it must be referring to this book... No! Maybe it refers to the curse mark on our foreheads!"

This conjecture was well founded, and Natsu felt cold sweat break out on his forehead (((;;))): "Habi...don't...don't...don't panic! There must be a way!"

Because of fear, Habi threw himself into Natsu's arms and hugged him tightly. He raised his head and asked, "What can I do?"

"That's right! Let's burn him!"

Natsu couldn't think of a way, but he acted according to his intuition and solved the problem with flames.

boom!

There was an explosion, and the high-temperature red flames devoured the magic book, and the old magic book was instantly burned to ashes.

Natsu wiped his sweat and said, "It should be okay now, right?"

"N...Natsu..."

Habi's trembling voice shocked Natsu. He looked up and saw that under the night, the ashes that were supposed to disappear with the wind had regrouped, relying on the dark magic power in them to slowly form an oval three meters high and one meter wide. black vortex.

Immediately afterwards, countless white spirits poured out crazily and floated away in all directions of Magnolia.

"Midnight, inhuman monster..."

"The soul that cannot die completely..."

One person and one cat turned to look at each other stiffly, and found that the other person was trembling all over at this time, completely losing his usual composure: "Haha... It's just a ghost... Haha... There's nothing to be afraid of... Haha..."

"It's just...I'm not afraid..."

next moment……

"Run!!!"

The two turned around and ran away, so fast that smoke and dust filled the sky. After tumbling in the wind, they fell onto their clothes soaked in cold sweat.

"Wait...did Lucy just get captured by them?!"

Thinking of this, Natsu was no longer afraid, and the frightened look on his face was quickly replaced by seriousness. He turned around and charged towards the black vortex in a flash: "Hand over Lucy!"

Physical attacks like fists obviously couldn't attack the spirit body, so Natsu jumped away and fell to the ground.

"Damn it! I can't hit them!"

Habi followed and flew over: "Of course it is, after all, the other party is a ghost!"

"In this case……"

Natsu clenched his fists unwillingly, and two seconds later, he decisively picked up Habi and turned around and ran away!

"Then it's better to withdraw first!"

Habi Σ(っ°Д°;)っ: "Eeeeeeeeeee???!!!"

…

"They didn't catch up, did they?"

"Natsu, why are you running away?"

"Of course it's because they can't be hit! Moreover, judging from the situation just now, they have no ability to attack people, so Lucy's disappearance may not be related to them. If Lucy disappeared because of them, It means that something similar happened when we were unconscious! And everyone in the guild will definitely notice such a movement, and with them here, nothing will happen..."

Happy rolled his tongue and said, "Natsu has become so smart today, it's incredible! Could it be said that this curse will increase IQ?"

despair!

As Natsu was walking forward, he felt that he had stepped on something. When he looked down, he saw that the magic book he had burned before was lying on the ground unscathed.

"Ahhhh!!! It's happening again!!!"

"Supernatural incident!!! This is definitely a supernatural incident like an urban legend!!!"

In desperation, Natsu stooped down, picked up the magic book on the ground, and threw it far away!

Thump!

The magic book fell into the river that ran through Magnolia. There was a soft sound and a little splash of water.

In the blink of an eye, the paper was soaked by the river water, and the strange words on it quickly fell off, suspended in the air with the help of dark magic, and after a brief change and reorganization, turned into another magic circle.

"not good!"

Amid the exclamations, the words "The second stage of terror will begin after soaking" appeared in the minds of Natsu and Habi at the same time.

"Second stage of terror!!"

"It seems to be more troublesome now!!"

The strange dark green runes and evil dark magic echoed with the "water" that caused the changes, condensing into a ball of magic light. At the same time, the curse runes carved on Natsu and Habi's foreheads flew out of their own accord and penetrated into the ball of light. The ball of light split into two, landed on the ground, and turned into two pitch black figures with the same outline as Natsu and Happy.

"What is this? It looks like us!"

"Could it be that this magic is to copy a cursed person and let us hit ourselves?"

Seeing that Happy was getting more and more uneasy, Natsu immediately lowered his head and comforted him: "It's okay, Happy!"

"Natsu..."

"No matter the curse or the undead, as long as we are together, there is no opponent we cannot defeat! We are the magicians of Fairy Tail!!!"

The encouragement of his partner in the difficult situation finally made Habi, who had been troubled by the magic book all day, cheer up again.

"Hey!"

With a long roar, Habi grabbed Natsu and flew towards the black shadow. The black shadow Habi and the black shadow Natsu rushed over. It was like fists reflected in the mirror colliding in the air, causing a violent, red reaction. Black and two-color blazing flames.

On the ground, the two Natsu were fighting each other, punching, kicking, elbowing, headbutting, and hooking claws one after another; in the air, the two Harpies also used their own unique moves, including cat claw attacks, backpack attacks, biting, and collisions. There were endless incidents, and the scene was chaotic.

Bang bang bang... bang bang bang... puff puff...

"The fighting methods are exactly the same..."

The opponent's difficulty and the dark magic shrouding the streets made Natsu anxious. What worried him even more was that the continuous sound of fighting did not wake anyone up!

In this case, either this space is blocked, or something happened to everyone!

At this moment, the black shadow suddenly moved!

But his target was not Natsu and Happy, but... their shadows on the ground!

tread!

Under the bright moonlight, the opponent's feet stepped on his own shadow accurately.

In an instant, Natsu felt pain like a sharp sword piercing his heart. The words "Those whose shadows are stepped on will suffer a sharp sword piercing their hearts" appeared in his mind.

Late at night, a sharp shout pierced the sky.

"ah!!!"

The pain on his body was still bearable, but Habi's voice made him stunned. His expression suddenly changed: "Habi! Are you okay?!"

"No...it's okay..."

Natsu took a closer look and found that Habibi was in the same situation as himself: "There is no wound, but you can feel pain. Is this a curse?"

His intuition told him that in the coming time, the "curses" in those books would reappear one by one!

The black shadow moved again, but this time Natsu was on guard. He retreated sharply and moved his shadow to avoid the opponent's attack. At the same time, his eyes were still searching for the opponent's shadow.

At this moment, the black shadow's movements stopped again.

"good chance!"

Seizing the opening, Natsu sprinted in the opposite direction, waving his fists to attack, but the black shadow showed no reaction and just stared straight at Natsu who was standing in front of him.

[Those who are seen moving will receive tens of thousands of blows]

Bang!

The huge force coming from the side knocked Natsu several meters away, and he fell to the ground, causing the ground to shatter!

"Natsu!!"

After exclaiming, Habi hurriedly flew over to check, "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

The opponent was really weird, and the changes in front of him were sudden. Habi suggested: "Natsu, why don't we retreat first? This situation is obviously not something we can solve..."

"I don't want it!" Natsu patted the dust on his body and stood up again, "Happy, do you still remember that sentence in the book?"

Habi was stunned: "What?"

"The transformation between hunter and prey only occurs in an instant!!"

Natsu grinned, his face full of fighting spirit, his fists collided in front of his chest, and flames flew.

"The second round has begun! Let's go!"

"Hey!"
