In an instant, everyone realized that this person was not to be underestimated.
Leaving aside that bizarre sword, the power radiating from that demonic mask was something they could only look up to in awe.
Watching York being killed so effortlessly, the members of the Minotaur Guild went into a frenzy, screaming wildly.
"You actually killed York! You're dead! Even if you're strong, I refuse to believe you can defeat the combined might of our entire guild!"
"What the hell are you?? So ruthless... are you one of the legendary demons from Zeref's book??"
The mere mention of that name caused everyone else to gasp. What did that mean? The legendary Black Mage, Zeref.
The most powerful Black Mage in the world, Zeref.
And his ultimate weapons, the demons.
"Tartaros... definitely. He must be a demon from there! Otherwise, he wouldn't be this strong!"
But their leader, Jera, slowly shook his head and said, "He's no demon. I've met that legendary Black Mage."
"There's absolutely no reason for him to unleash a demon-level entity on such a tiny empire."
"So, while he is indeed very strong... as long as he isn't a demon, we still have a chance of winning."
"The rest of you, fall back! This man is not someone you can handle as opponents. Everyone, step back!"
Stars practically appeared in the eyes of the crowd. Jera, the most powerful mage in the Minotaur Guild—his power couldn't just be described with words.
The White Dragon Slayer Magic... what kind of concept was that? That was one of the most powerful magics in existence—Dragon Slayer Magic.
The absolute strongest magics in this world were undoubtedly those three types:
Origin Magic, Dragon Slayer Magic, and the legendary God Slayer Magic.
Unfortunately, Origin Magic was rumored to be usable only by gods, and to this day, no one had ever seen it.
God Slayer Magic, however, definitively existed in this world. It was said that many people had witnessed it.
And the most common of these supreme magics was Dragon Slayer Magic.
Yet, while considered "common" among the top tier, it was still incredibly rare among humans.
And their Guild Master was the White Dragon Slayer!
He was far beyond the imagination of this supposedly powerful man standing before them.
Jera slowly stepped out from the crowd and said, "I have to admit, I'm genuinely surprised. To think a tiny empire like this was hiding a powerhouse like you."
"I'm guessing you were hired by that girl's father from another empire. But while I acknowledge that you are indeed very strong, you still haven't grasped one crucial fact."
"And that is... I am much stronger than you. It seems you still don't realize who you're facing."
Shin was speechless. Was it a rule that the weak always talked the most? Why not just fight? Why stand there running your mouth? Shin's approach to doing things was always swift and decisive.
But the events of today were making it impossible for him to be happy.
Why do the people in the Fairy Tail world talk so much? Can't we just have a good fight?
He replied dismissively, "What exactly are you trying to say? How could I possibly know you? I don't care who you are. I'm saving that girl today, no matter what. If you just hand her over obediently, there won't be any problems."
"I'm not exactly a warmonger, but if you keep running your mouth, I'll have no choice but to attack."
Jera was shocked. He was the most powerful Dragon Slayer in the empire, yet this person claimed not to know him!
It seemed he really was a mage from another country.
Jera smiled and said slowly, "I am very powerful. Did you not hear clearly what I just said?"
"I am a Dragon Slayer. Do you understand? A Dragon Slayer."
Shin paused for a moment. He hadn't expected to run into a Dragon Slayer so soon. After all, Dragon Slayers in the Fairy Tail world were notoriously strong.
But no matter how he looked at him now, this Jera seemed weak. How could he be a Dragon Slayer?
Was he lying? Shin asked slowly, "Are you really a Dragon Slayer?"
Seeing this mysterious person seemingly stunned by the title of "Dragon Slayer," Jera thought...
Is this guy afraid of me? Just as I thought. How could someone this powerful just happen to appear?
He was definitely faking it. He probably killed York instantly by catching him off guard. That must be it. He burst into roaring laughter.
"Friend, although I am a Dragon Slayer, I'll admit we were somewhat in the wrong today. If you just apologize to us, we can let this matter drop."
"I won't even pursue you for the death of my guild member. After all, for top-tier fighters like us, losing one isn't easy."
"How about this? Let's team up and kill the strongest king in this country. Then, the throne will be mine. And since this girl is extremely cute, she can be yours."
"After that, I'll give you my most powerful guild and let you be the Guild Master. Furthermore, I'll share boundless wealth and glory with you."
"When that time comes, the two of us will be the masters of this country. What do you say?"
Shin almost laughed. Why are the brains of villains always filled with this crap? Isn't it better to just live freely...
He immediately replied, "Are Dragon Slayers really that powerful? I honestly wouldn't know. But could you please stop talking nonsense? I truly never expected to meet someone as thick-skinned as you in this world."
In the next instant, he unleashed his Spiritual Pressure and vanished from the sight of the crowd.
Although this Jera talked too much nonsense, as the Guild Master of the top guild, he did have some power. He instantly transformed his right arm into a dragon's claw and attacked Shin.
Shin was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected someone capable of partial Dragonification to appear in such a small empire. As expected, the Fairy Tail world in this era was truly teeming with powerful individuals.
Worthy of this era. He then erupted with Spiritual Pressure.
He used three-tenths of his power. Half-Step Hollowfication combined with his Shikai at thirty percent power was definitely enough to defeat Dragonification from Dragon Slayer Magic.
He swung his sword at Jera.
The two forces collided, producing a massive explosion.
But when the crowd looked again, all they saw was that arm...
