The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

One teammate is missing, but the enemy still has to fight!

The figure of the mechanical matryoshka suddenly disappeared because it moved into the air in an instant and thus escaped Natsu's punch.

And when Natsu's fist landed, its attack followed.

Boom! !

The heavy metal doll, coupled with the kinetic energy converted from potential energy when falling from a high place, and the instantaneous burst of speed, formed a powerful blow, falling towards Natsu's cherry-colored head.

"Um?!"

Natsu's ears twitched slightly, and he sensed the change in the airflow behind him. He quickly reacted, gently used his palms on the ground to use force, turned over to avoid it, and led Habi to do several cartwheels in mid-air before landing firmly on the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After several soft sounds, the matryoshka doll moved again, but this time it was different from the flash that instantly broke through the space just now. After each move, the original position still retained an afterimage.

For a moment, dozens of mechanical matryoshka figures surrounded Natsu, and the two glazed 'eyeballs' became sinister and terrifying.

"What is this? A clone ninjutsu?" Natsu looked around curiously.

Compared to this slow guy, the clever little Habi had some guesses, his eyes glowed with wisdom: "Could it be that... it was the continuous movement at extremely fast speeds and intermittent pauses that created this kind of thing?" The illusion of a doppelgänger?!”

"Oh oh oh that's it! Hubby, you are so smart!!"

"Hahaha...isn't this of course?"

Habi looked proud and did not tell Natsu that he had read this method from Kira's book...

"Leave this situation to me!"

Lucy stood up confidently, and even imitated Erza and shouted, "Change! Star Spirit Clothes Sagittarius Form!"

The Sagittarius star spirit, Sachidarius, possesses excellent archery skills!

Her blond hair was tied into a long ponytail with a rabbit hair ornament hanging behind her back. She was wearing a green half-breasted war dress with gold trim, sleeves on her arms, a pair of over-the-knee boots on her legs, and holding a half-man A tall, tan longbow with the protoss sigil printed on it.

This is Lucy's Sagittarius form.

Natsu and Happy both turned around and looked at Lucy with →_→ eyes.

Lucy frowned and asked, "What are you two doing?! Why are you looking at me like that?!"

"Why is Aries called 'Arieth form' and Sachidarius is called 'Sagittarius form'... Is it because the names are too difficult to remember?"

Lucy: "..."

Can I say it's just because 'Sachidarius Form' is too long?

"And more!! Why didn't you change the battle mode even twice? Are you performing a dress-up show? You even shouted "dress-up" like Erza did. It doesn't look like it at all..."

What's wrong with me imitating Erza? ! No? !

"That's it!! Just one teammate who can use the costume change is enough... Isn't a character like you heavy?"

The two people's complaints made Lucy angrier and angrier. She couldn't help but roar in their ears: "Stop talking!! Star spirit clothing is one of the uses of star spirit magic!! Although... although she is indeed learning from Ai That’s it, Lusa (whispering)… Besides, in battle, you have to adjust your response plan according to your opponent’s situation!!”

But Lucy also knew that she was just talking nonsense when she said this, so she changed the topic and said with a smile: "Guys like you who only know how to go straight may fail the S-level assessment again this year!"

"No way! We are no longer the same as last year!"

"It's just...Natsu is already very strong now!!"

"What a pity! The assessment relies on your brain~" Lucy's face was filled with indescribable pride. She has made a lot of progress this year, and her magic power has also increased greatly. There is hope for S-level!

"Then let's beat all our opponents away!!" Natsu said as he excitedly waved his fists several times.

Lucy: "..."

Forget it, don't argue with idiots.

"Come out, Sachidarius!"

"Moxi Moxi~"

With a clanging sound, the man wearing a horse hood came out with a salute, and Sachidarius's first words were...

"So Miss Lucy, is it really hard to remember my name?"

"certainly not!!!"

"Haha... I'm just joking." Sachidarius smiled softly.

"Really... why are everyone so tiring?" Lucy sighed helplessly, then cheered up again, "Next, I'll trouble you to find the enemy with me!"

Sachidarius glanced at the air, and his expression returned to seriousness: "Don't worry, Miss Lucy! Leave the archery to me, who is always on target!!"

The two stood back to back, raising their bows and setting arrows at the same time: "Star Shooting!!"

The next moment, the two bow strings simultaneously emitted dazzling golden light, and soon dozens of star arrows were shot out, shooting towards the afterimages of dozens of mechanical matryoshka dolls in mid-air! !

The magic arrows did indeed hit every afterimage accurately, but none of them had the feeling of hitting the target. Instead, they went directly through the afterimage and exploded in mid-air.

"Isn't it?!" Lucy and Sachidarius were shocked at the same time, "Does it mean there is no entity in this?!"

Natsu complained: "You are really perfect..."

Habi made it clear to Natsu: "Natsu, what you said is so hurtful..."

Sachidarius looked ashamed: "I'm so sorry, Miss Lucy! It seems that the enemy continues to move at super high speed, so it can't be shot..."

"No...this is not your problem..."

At this moment, these dozens of mechanical nesting dolls in mid-air began to attack. It was as if they were activated at the same time. They all rushed towards Natsu and others on the ground. Each afterimage was an attack, and They can also penetrate each other when moving, so you don’t have to worry about positioning at all.

"Danger!! Get out of the way!!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

The attacks fell like a torrential rain, and each attack was comparable to Makarov's full-strength punch, smashing the position where Natsu and others were standing into rubble. Fortunately, a few people dodge quickly and were saved from disaster.

"Why are you two still laughing?! Why don't you think of a solution quickly!!"

"Isn't it?! Lucy actually asked Natsu to find a way?!" Happy looked shocked.

Natsu raised his head and smiled evilly: "Find a way?! My way is..."

"Eh?! Isn't it? Again?!" Just seeing Natsu's expression, Lucy guessed his next move. She instantly trembled, turned around and ran back.

"The secret of dragon slaying..."

"Wait...wait...!! Sachidarius, go back first!!"

Lucy ran back to the Sagittarius star spirit, and at the same time turned around and measured the distance between herself and Natsu with her eyes, "Not yet, Natsu, I haven't..."

"Red Lotus Exploding Flame Blade!!!"

Along with the roar, Natsu condensed two unstoppable fire blades in his hands. At the same time, he quickly rotated his body and slashed out hundreds of fire blades. The fire blades blew up a terrifying and violent whirlwind and roared in all directions. Swallowing the remnants of all the mechanical matryoshka dolls, tearing apart all the matter in the sea of ​​fire.

At the same time as the explosion, a small figure grabbed Lucy and flew quickly towards the sky.

"Phew... saved!"

Looking at the sea of ​​​​fire below, Lucy breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the sense of security for the rest of her life finally came to her heart.

In the sea of ​​fire, a crystal ball engraved with strange magic patterns rolled to Natsu's feet.

"What's this?"

Natsu picked it up and looked at it curiously, then got closer and smelled it, feeling that this thing was unusual.

"Put it away first."

…

Phew—pop! Phew—pop!

On another street, Kira was walking with a proud look on his face, tossing a crystal ball in his hand and muttering sarcastic words to himself.

"I was specially copied to look like me, but as a result, I couldn't even display one percent of my strength. The 'Four Horsemen' who led the era only had this strength? No wonder you are not in the Empire Chapter. Your relationships are all failures... …”

Kira didn't know that he had misunderstood. If he knew that this was the proud work of Silver and Val, he probably wouldn't have said that...

He will laugh harder!

Suddenly, Kira paused and looked in a certain direction.

"The magic power over there seems a bit weird..."
