Chapter 675: Forbidden Magic: Price Summoning
When Arlok stood up again, all the Fairy Tail wizards frowned.
"That man stood up again?"
"Didn't Laxus' punch just now take care of him?"
"It's not a surprise. At least it's worthy of that magic power."
Makarov looked at Mavis beside him and asked, "First generation, can you tell his background?"
“Just a little bit more!”
Mavis's emerald green eyes were fixed on the figures in the arena, constantly searching, screening, and checking the database in her mind, trying to find relevant types of magic.
"Although the attack just now was ingenious, it is not a rare magic. He obviously hasn't shown his true strength yet!"
Makarov nodded and said nothing.
Kira glanced at Mavis and felt that the database in her mind was probably being contaminated.
On the court...
Facing Alok who threatened to make him pay the price, Laxus looked strange: "Pay the price? Do you want me to look bad?"
“Hehehe…you’ll know soon enough!”
Laxus frowned, but he was not careless at all. He perked up and became alert again.
Judging from the test just now, the opponent's melee ability is vulnerable, but his magic power is real. That is to say, the opponent's magic is either very powerful, like Gildarts who uses one kind of magic to the extreme, or very strange, like Brandish and Timaria, who can catch most people off guard!
"No matter what kind of magic you use, as long as I knock you down first, I win!"
Thinking of this, Laxus no longer hesitated, ready to pursue the victory and end the battle in one fell swoop.
As if there were springs under his feet, Laxus jumped up and attacked again with his fists, but this time, Alok's response was different. When he swung his staff, he no longer used magic shells, but rows of transparent magic barriers like glass.
Boom! !
Laxus' fist was blocked by the barrier, making a low and rapid muffled sound. From the sound, it can be heard that this barrier is extremely strong and cannot be easily broken.
“That’s strange…”
Seeing that the opponent's barrier blocked Laxus' attack, Kira was full of doubts, "Does that guy's magic barrier have this level of defensive power?"
I clearly remember that in the Fairy Tail Return Arc, Natsu was able to break this move with brute force alone! Could it be that Natsu at that stage was stronger than Laxus at this stage?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!
At this moment, Mavis's affirmative voice came out from my ear: "It's the price summoning magic!"
"Price summoning magic? What is that?" Habit asked Kira the question he wanted to ask.
"That is an ancient forbidden magic!"
Mavis thought for a moment, then said after a little tidying up her words: "A wizard signs a contract with something or a creature. As long as they 'lose' something, they can summon it at will to use it for their own purposes."
"Contract... is it the same as Celestial Magic?" Lucy asked with a frown, obviously concerned about the 'price' that Mavis mentioned.
“There are similarities, but they are not exactly the same!”
Mavis glanced at the key on Lucy's waist and said seriously, "Lucy's star spirit is unique, right? But the price summoning magic is not like that! This magic can summon more than one object. For example, the barrier he is using now comes from the same contract, but the degree of 'loss' when summoning is different."
Lucy asked, "Then why is this forbidden magic?"
"because……"
"Because the core of this magic lies in 'sacrifice'!"
Kira suddenly interrupted Mavis and explained, "When using this magic, the more and more important things the wizard loses, the stronger the object summoned will be! Right?"
He looked at Mavis with a (＊￣︶￣) smile on his face.
"￣へ￣...Yes."
Can't you let me show off my erudition? ? You actually interrupted me... Kids nowadays are really not cute!!
Mavis was a little unhappy.
Kira didn't care and just explained to himself: "You all know that I made a 'Monster Summoning' type card for Cana before, right?"
"Uh-huh……"
"Oh yeah! That's also a 'summoning'! Are the two related in some way?"
Everyone suddenly became curious and looked at Kana... Kana was drunk and probably couldn't ask anything, so they looked at Kira again.
Seeing that everyone was so eager to learn, Kira was very pleased and explained openly: "The magic concept centered on 'sacrifice' was one of the initial magic theories that wizards believed in a long time ago."
"It is usually called 'Price Summoning Magic'. Of course, some people later thought that this name was too difficult to pronounce, so there were a series of other names such as 'Sacrifice Flow', 'Insurance Flow', 'Sacrifice Flow', 'Self-harm Flow', etc...."
Everyone: “Oh…I see!!”
Mavis (乛_乛): “…”
Why have I never heard of these terms? ! The 'some people' you are talking about are actually you! !
"The popular 'summoning' magic nowadays is actually a derivative of 'costly summoning' magic. The same is true for the 'World of Warcraft Cards' I made."
In order to make it easier for the audience to understand, Kira began to use his own experience to explain: "When summoning a monster, the user needs to pay a large amount of magic power at one time, and when controlling a monster, the user's mental power is consumed relatively large."
"This is the 'price'!"
"The price can be permanent or temporary. Magic power and mental power belong to the latter. The summoned object can also be divided into permanent summoning rights and temporary summoning rights. This depends on the price in the contract."
"Under normal circumstances, mages usually set the 'price' for gaining power to be 'magic power' or 'mental power', which are things that can be restored and are in line with the magician's training system."
At this point, Kira's tone suddenly changed: "But some people don't do that!"
" Because the power gained from sacrificing magic power is too weak, some people with extreme temperaments or even those who have fallen into darkness choose to pay more in order to gain the so-called power."
"Blood, hair, appearance, limbs, perception, talent, instinct, reason, life span, belief, freedom, emotion, soul, life, memory, existence...all of these can be used as a price!"
"And the powerful power gained through sacrifice can easily drive people to extremes and become uncontrollable!"
Gurgle...
Everyone listened more and more attentively. After hearing the series of examples Kira gave, they immediately thought of the horror of this kind of magic and couldn't help swallowing to calm their nerves.
Suddenly, several people looked at Makarov's Mediterranean Sea, and some incredible thoughts popped up in their hearts: "Could it be... the president's hair... No way?!"
Makarov was confused: "???"
"Why are you looking at me? I have never used this type of magic!!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
"That's right! Just as you thought!"
“纳尼？！会长你果然……”
“No way!!”
"Ahem...Listen to me!!"
Kira's voice suddenly became eerie: "In order to become stronger, many wizards signed contracts with powerful monsters or demons at the cost of some important things in their bodies. They gained the power to drive them at will, so there is the term 'self-harm style'."
"Some cruel people even chose to sacrifice their lives!"
"Isn't this the news? Some dark guild slaughtered the entire town, and in exchange for that, summoned a demon or a being named Zeref..."
Everyone: “…”
You mean Preshito? You're just short of naming him!
“The pigs, cattle, sheep, fish and other livestock used in sacrifices actually have similar functions!”
“And then, there are also people like this in history.”
"They think they are rational and self-controlled enough, so they choose to sacrifice other types of lives, such as powerful monsters, in exchange for power. However, most of these people will not stop at sacrificing monsters , but will continue to look for more types of lives. In the process, their hearts will be devoured by darkness, and by the time they realize that something is wrong with them, it is already too late."
At this point, Kira sighed and advised in a tone : "So, never think you can control it and try something you shouldn't do!"
Seeing that everyone had serious expressions and each of them was thinking about something with their heads down, Kira felt quite satisfied and nodded secretly.
Not bad, not bad... My eloquence has improved recently, and I am becoming more and more like a president!
Bang!
Feeling the atmosphere getting heavy, Kira suddenly clapped his hands, attracting the attention of several people: "By the way, this kind of thing must be useful for the contract to be established, so wisdom teeth, acne, leftover fish bones, and novels that cannot be published are all useless!"
“Who would use something like that?!!”×N
Natsu, Happy, and Lucy all looked disappointed at the same time, "Huh?! It's not possible?? What a pity!!"
“Have you really considered this?!!”×N
