Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 8

Clap!

Clap!

They turned their head and saw a figure with a blue cloaked covering his face and body, clapping his hands.

The figure took off his cloak, revealing his face. He is black-haired man with an average face that looks to be around the same age as Jura.

He also have a long scar from his forehead down to his throat, and a symbol of a smiling skull on the right side of his neck.

“What a splendid performance. As expected of the 9th Wizard Saint and the fire dragon slayer of Fairy Tail. The two of you actually took down a Titan, though its still a newborn, its a titan nonetheless, something that stood side-by-side with the dragons.”

Natsu pushed his body, ignoring the pain he was feeling and stared at the man warily, and Jura doing the same thing.

The two of them were exhausted after all, despite taking down the titan without much injuries, their magic power is pretty much drained.

“Eh? Why so wary? I’m not here to fight, just here to-” the figure punched a hole through the titans head and a crystal at the size of a human head emerged from the hole and floats, “-take this thing here.”

“Bye~ bye~” he waved his hand and was about to leave when a large rock wall blocked his path.

He glared at Jura with a dangerous eyes but still has a smile on his face.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

Despite the dangerous feeling Jura can feel from the man, he decided to stop him from leaving this place.

“I can’t remember it before but, that mark on your neck, you’re a member of Smiling Reaper, am I correct?”

The man’s smile turned into a grin before he laugh loudly, “HAHAHAHA!” it took him a few seconds before calming down as he stared at Jura, “So what if I am?”

“Smiling Reaper, a dark guild originated from the kingdom of Bosco. You have trespassed the territory of Fiore, for that, I shall capture you. Iron Rock Spikes!”

Rock spikes emerged from the ground and started to immobilize the man. However, the man easily broke through it with just his physical strength alone.

Jura’s eyes narrowed, he didn’t expect that after taking down a Saint-class beast, a Saint-class dark mage would appear.

“You’re still far from beating me, Ace of Lamia Scale. Let me show you, the difference between us.” The man declared as his body glowed white with lightning surrounding him.

“Lightning Titan Slayer. Just like Dragon Slayer, this magic gives me the properties of a Titan, making me a lightning man with an absolute immunity towards lightning.”

Jura immediately felt the change of the man, he was completely different from the guy he was talking just now.

“Absolute immunity? That titan lying there has fire attribute as well, but my attacks are still effecting him.” said Natsu while glaring at the man.

“Hm? Well, that’s because you’re a dragon slayer, Titan’s body only lessens the effect of the dragon’s magic but doesn’t grant absolute immunity against them.”

The man gave the two a smile as he instantly appeared before them with a white flash.

Natsu reacted quickly and lit his fist with flames before throwing a fist at the man, with Jura retreating a couple of steps back and uses his magic.

“Iron Rock Fist!”

The man managed to dodge Natsu’s fist but was greeted by rock fist a few from him, reacting at the speed of light, he grabs Natsu and used him as a shield while he dodges the rock fist.

“GAH!?”

“Natsu-dono!”

“Natsu!”

The man once again arrived in front of Jura with a speed impossible for human eyes to follow.

“Lightning Titan’s-” sparks of lightning gathered at the man’s mouth as he aimed at Jura, “-Might!”

A large arc of lightning directly hit Jura at a very close distance.
