~ “Take Over…” In the training ground, Mirajane and Igor stood facing each other on opposite sides of the ring.
After a brief exchange of glances, the two almost simultaneously shouted, “…Demon Soul!” “BOOM!!” When their voices faded, powerful magic spread throughout the venue.
In an instant, purple magic circles enveloped Mirajane and Igor.
The next moment, Mirajane’s long snow-white hair, which had been tied in a ponytail, stood high on end, and demon wings grew from her back.
Her limbs transformed into claws covered in jet-black scales, her fingertips emitting a metallic luster.
A long tail dragged behind her, as if she were the “Demon King” from a fairy tale with the power to silence children crying at night.
After more than half a month of training, Mirajane’s demon form had evolved into something even more powerful and extraordinary.
On the other hand, Igor did not transform into the “Bomb Demon” Mirajane knew well.
Instead, he transformed into a “Shredder Demon” wearing a mask with sharp blades on both hands.
“Huh?” Seeing Igor’s new appearance, Mirajane couldn’t help asking with a little doubt, “Igor, what on earth is this outfit?” “This is the ‘Shredder Demon’ form.” Igor told her the truth.
“What does ‘Shredder Demon’ mean?
Can a shredder really become a demon?!” Mirajane was stunned.
No matter how hard she thought, she could not understand what the “Shredder Demon” was.
“In short, you just need to take action.” Igor smiled at Mirajane and signaled her to attack.
“…” Mirajane nodded lightly and slowly spread her demon wings.
With a “whoosh,” she soared high into the sky like a rocket.
After securing the high ground, she pointed both hands at Igor on the ground and said with a laugh, “Igor, let’s make this clear first.
Don’t say I’m taking advantage of you just because you can’t fly” “Don’t worry, I won’t say that…” Igor first shook his head, then added, “After all, being able to fly is a skill, and that’s Mira’s specialty.” “Then I can rest easy.” Reassured by Igor’s guarantee, Mirajane immediately concentrated all her magical power in both hands and shouted, “Igor, watch out!
Ultimate attack, Super Flash!” “BOOM!!” The next instant, a purple magic circle appeared in front of Mirajane.
Fierce magical power erupted from that magic circle, charged at Igor, and tried to swallow him.
“What powerful magic!” Seeing the terrifying demon light descending from the sky to envelop him, Igor instinctively pointed the blades in his hands at the sky and shouted, “Crush!” “Whoosh!!” The next instant, the blades in Igor’s hands instantly spun like propellers and shattered the magical light pouring down from the sky into pieces.
“Ah?!” In the air, Mirajane saw Igor’s familiar movement and couldn’t help crying out, “Igor, how did you learn Gildarts’ magic?” “No, you’re misunderstanding, Mira.” “This isn’t Gildarts’ Crush magic.
It’s simply the ability of the ‘Shredder Demon.'” Igor shook his head and explained to Mirajane.
Of course he said that, but Igor had also noticed the unusual nature of this “Shredder Demon.” “Maybe by touching Gildarts’ magic and sensing that destructive magic, I ended up releasing the Shredder Demon?” “Come to think of it, why a Shredder Demon?
Couldn’t it have been a higher-ranking monster that embodies the concept of ‘crushing’?” Igor was seized by deep regret.
The “Shredder Demon” Igor had received may have, by coming into contact with this world’s “Ethernano” and “magic barrier particles,” gained the ability to crush both “physical” power and “magical” power.
However, unlike Gildarts’ Crush magic, it could not easily destroy more abstract “concepts.” Yes — Igor’s “Shredder Demon” could only crush things that had substance.
It was powerless against insubstantial things like space, time, and gravity.
If Igor wanted to obtain the power to crush everything like Gildarts, he would probably have to evolve into a demon that embodied the concept of “crushing.” “I see.” In the air, Mirajane nodded in disbelief.
After a short silence, she opened her mouth wide, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and then shouted, “If that’s the case, I can’t believe you can keep crushing my magic forever!
Sooner or later you’ll run out of strength…” Igor did not say much.
He quietly looked at Mirajane in the sky, nodded sincerely, and said, “Then shall we try it?” “Igor, watch closely.” Mirajane used magic to maintain the wings on her back, floated in the air, and released magic from both hands.
“Super Cruel Flash!
Beyond Flash!
Super Cruel…” “Screech!” “BOOM!” “Whoosh!
Whoosh!” “Boom!
Boom!!” When Mirajane roared, ultra-powerful flashes erupted from between her hands toward Igor.
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!!” Even facing Mirajane’s destructive flashes powerful enough to blow away a 100-meter-tall building, Igor calmly said only, “Crush.” No matter what strategy Mirajane used, Igor always continued chanting the word “Crush.” The feeling of overcoming every obstacle with a single powerful move and succeeding with a single technique had to be called truly wonderful.
“Beyond Flash!” ” Demon’s Claw!” “Death Boomerang!” In the air, Mirajane continued attacking Igor without mercy, but no matter what magic Mirajane used, it was shattered to pieces by the blades in Igor’s hands.
“Screech!” “Bump!” Finally, after Mirajane and Igor remained in a deadlock for a full hour, Mirajane’s magical power ran out, and she fell from the sky as if all her strength had left her.
“Are you okay?” Fortunately, Igor was quick-witted and caught Mirajane as she fell from the sky.
“I lost again.” Mirajane looked at Igor with an expression of being treated unfairly, quietly bit her lip, and desperately held back the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes.
Seeing Mirajane desperately holding back her tears, Igor couldn’t help but smile, appearing at the corners of his mouth.
He had to admit that a half-crying Mirajane was truly adorable.
“Igor, you’re still laughing?!” Mirajane glared at Igor and began complaining.
“Tonight I’ll make your favorite fruit pie and cake.” Igor took a deep breath to regain his composure, then said that.
“That’s more like it.” Hearing this, Mirajane immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
