Chapter 32 : Random Killing!
Lucy's eyes widened in disbelief.
In her mind, Natsu was already somewhat monstrous, but witnessing Kyros crashing into a train made her realize that Natsu was merely a minor monster, while Kyros was the true behemoth.
Initially, she had thought that the Fairy Tail guild at least harbored one ordinary individual, Kyros. However, it became apparent that the most extraordinary member was none other than him!
"Kyros's resilience is strengthening once more!" Erza couldn't help but marvel as she witnessed Kyros's collision with the train. She had known Kyros since childhood.
Initially, Kyros's physique was impressive, but not to the extent of being abnormal. Yet, as time passed, his physical resilience grew increasingly formidable.
"Hey there~!"
The confrontation between Kyros, Erza, and Mira was always a spectacle for Natsu, who had a penchant for observing battles. He would bring Happy along every time. Happy and Natsu were among the few in the guild aware of Kyros's extraordinary physical prowess. It was truly remarkable.
Perhaps due to inheriting the traits of the Kaido, Kyros now even seemed to relish the thrill of facing death, hence his daring encounter with the train.
Meanwhile, the members of Eisenwald aboard the train strategized their next move upon learning of Kageyama's encounter with Natsu from the Fairy Tail guild.
Their plan was crucial and could not afford to be compromised by outsiders.
After deliberation, they decided to await Fairy Tail at the next train station, where they would ensnare them with magic.
Subsequently, Erigor would employ the 'curse song' to eliminate all leaders of the local guild alliance, while the remaining members of Eisenwald would engage Fairy Tail at the station or eradicate them altogether.
However, just as their plan was finalized, a violent jolt rocked the carriage, sending everyone lurching forward.
"Wow!"
"Ugh!"...
After a moment, numerous individuals emerged from the carriage, nursing various injuries.
"That was painful!"
"Damn! What in the world just happened?"
"How could the train derail?!"...
Had it been an ordinary train, such an accident would have resulted in heavy casualties. However, being a carriage filled with magicians, their inherent combat prowess afforded them a degree of protection. Consequently, only a few unfortunate souls suffered severe injuries, while the majority sustained minor wounds.
"There are so many of them!!" Lucy couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear at the sight of so many Eisenwald members.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Oh? Surprised to see so many survivors? Life's full of surprises!"
Many heads turned in the direction of the voice, revealing a handsome young man standing nearby.
"And who might you be?!" Erigor demanded in a stern tone.
"Huh? Are you denying responsibility? I'm the unfortunate victim struck by your train!" Kyros replied with a smirk, gesturing to himself.
"What?!"
The expressions of everyone in Eisenwald changed drastically.
"You scoundrel! Is that you?!"
Erigor's face twisted in anger. Though not seriously injured this time, blood trickled from his forehead. What was more discomforting was the sensation of being jolted in a car accident, akin to being flipped while in the midst of a meal.
"Lord Erigor! Look at his arm!"
Suddenly, a member of Eisenwald noticed the blue crest of the Fairy Tail guild on Kyros's left arm.
"It's indeed Fairy Tail."
Erza rose to her feet, her expression grave. "What is your intention? I won't let you leave until you answer obediently."
"Hey! Miss Armor..."
"So, it was you who exposed our plan."
Several individuals also recognized Erza. Her striking beauty invariably drew attention wherever she went.
"You won't let us leave? Thwarted my plans, slain my guildmates, and now you claim you won't let us leave? Don't be so presumptuous! You stink of Fairy Tail brats!" Erigor bellowed furiously.
"Attack them!"
Upon hearing Erigor's command, the members of Eisenwald brandished more magical weapons and charged towards Kyros.
"Kyros! Watch out!" Lucy promptly cautioned Kyros upon witnessing the onslaught of attackers.
"Don't worry! He's got this! It's Kyros!" Happy chimed in with a grin.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Magic swords slashed at Kyros's form.
"Cut him down!"
Many assailants exulted as they struck Kyros, only to be met with disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
Their blades met Kyros's body but failed to even pierce his skin.
Kyros offered a slight smile to his baffled adversaries before seizing a mace.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Uhhhh!"
"Wow ah ah ah!"...
The surroundings echoed with the cries of those sent hurtling through the air by Kyros's strikes.
"It feels like I've been hit by a train. They couldn't kill me, so they had to settle for killing someone else. The Dark Guild truly lives up to its name. Let them all perish!"
Kyros declared as he dispatched every member of Eisenwald, whether by sweeping blows or mace strikes.
Defense proved unnecessary, for these individuals couldn't breach Kyros's defenses, nor could they withstand his onslaught.
It felt akin to wolves infiltrating a herd, mercilessly slaughtering at will.
"Initiate remote magic!!"
Numerous individuals began forming magic bullets within their palms. It's a fundamental spell, accessible to many magicians. While its potency may be modest, its practicality is undeniable.
Even within the Sorcerer's Guild, most members acquaint themselves with this spell. Casting more specialized magic demands talent, affinity, and magical prowess.
Even Macao, often perceived as a background figure in the Fairy Tail guild, stands as an elite among magicians.
"Ssshhhhh-!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Magic bullets rained down upon Kyros's form.
"Finish him off!!" Eisenwald's members displayed jubilant expressions.
Suddenly, amidst the smoke of the explosion, Kyros's calm voice resonated, "Ah~! This feels delightful! A few more magic bullets, please! It's so delightful!"
As the smoke cleared, Kyros emerged unscathed.
"Peculiar... a monstrous being! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
