Chapter 749: Overcoming Your Own Desire
The Lacade in front of him was not the opponent he usually faced, those opponents that he could ignore at will. Since he could defeat Laxus, he should at least be treated as Gildarts.
It is known that Natsu was defeated by the desire to sleep, and Laxus was defeated by the desire to reproduce, which means that Laquette's magic power is stronger than Natsu and Laxus, and his physical strength is not to be underestimated. He can take a "Beng Quan" with his bare hands without changing his expression. Killer is definitely no match for him in this aspect. What's more, there is such a big cross behind him. Who dares to be careless?
Kira hasn't used the trick of using his mouth to inflict debuffs on the enemy before the battle for a long time. In recent years, he has become famous and the opponents he meets don't need or deserve his use of the trick. Now he uses it again after a long time, and it seems that his skill is still there.
Lacade stood still in the same posture, staring at Kira, as if he wanted to find out Kira's flaws from his sky-blue eyes. It was obvious that he had been affected by Kira's self-confidence, and at this moment he couldn't wait to use magic to verify whether Kira was really not afraid of being devoured by desire.
Kira just stood there with his head held high. His righteous spirit was his strongest defense barrier, protecting his body from the invasion of desires.
Finally, Laquette moved. His eyes suddenly opened, and he adjusted his body shape with a slight movement of his feet. Then, all the magic power in his body poured out: "Extreme Pleasure !!"
The dazzling white light moved quickly, rising from under Kira's feet and spreading upwards, enveloping his body. Kira immediately felt a wave of pleasure from the inside out.
It feels like every cell in the body is breathing freely and happily at a frequency of dozens or hundreds of times per second; every neuron connected to the brain to control the body is continuously sending pleasure signals to various organs in the body.
This tense and stimulating feeling made his body tremble, his hair stood up, his breathing became rapid, his heart was beating, his blood was boiling, his body was trembling, his kidneys were working, his magic power was flowing, and his cartilage was saluting...
But in less than ten seconds, Kira broke free from his desire.
The magic power that was as heavy and powerful as a mountain and as bottomless as the sea suddenly erupted under his control. With its extremely huge amount alone, it completely expelled the dazzling white light that enveloped him.
"That's it? I haven't even started to make any moves yet!" Having overcome the evil thoughts in his heart, his physical weaknesses, and the abyss of human nature, Kira instantly became proud and sneered.
Compared to Kira's relaxed expression, Lacade looked much more embarrassed. He looked at Kira in surprise, his pupils trembling slightly, a few drops of cold sweat flowing down his forehead, his chest was full of disbelief and a hint of curiosity.
"Are you really human?"
At this moment, Lacade finally understood why his father and his adopted brother attached so much importance to the young man named Kira in front of them, and even told him to "admit defeat when the situation gets bad", because the other party was far superior to him in terms of magic power and magic. The most important thing was that his magic was similar to that of Auguste!
Facing him was like facing a younger version of Auguste!
"This feeling... is just like when I used magic on Auguste. I can't shake it at all!..."
In the past, in the entire Albares Empire, Laquette's desire magic had only failed on one person, and that was the 'Magic King' Ogast who used instant copy magic. The rest of the people, not to mention ordinary wizards, even his colleagues with the Twelve Shields could not resist it.
Even Irene, who was known as the 'twin walls' with Auguste, could only run away with a blushing face under his magic of desire. Even his emperor father, Jellal, could not control his emotions when he was possessed by the white light ball created by the magic of desire.
But now, there is one more person in this world who is not affected by his magic of desire!
That is the 22-year-old red-haired boy in front of him, Kira Hopelet!!
Seeing that Kira was still safe and sound under Lacade's magic of desire, and even at ease, tens of thousands of spectators in the venue were all shocked.
“Oh my! This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable!!”
"Kira-san showed no abnormality at all under Lakede-san's magic of desire?! He even easily dispelled his magic?! What on earth is going on?!"
"Is it the crushing of magic power? Or is it as he said, the absolute control of reason over desire?"
"What a strong will! What a terrifying mentality!!"
Looking at the blue figure enjoying the cheers of thousands of people on the field, Laxus was : "How did that guy do it?"
He really couldn't understand how Kira, who stayed in the guild all day eating, drinking and having fun, could remain as still as a mountain when he couldn't control his inner desires even when he was entangled by the magic of desire, with the willpower he had honed through hard training in the mountains.
"Is the gap between our magic powers really that big?" The more Laxus thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, and the more depressed he became.
Kira is three years younger than me, but I have never defeated him once since I was a child; my talent in magic is outstanding, but I can only be second to Kira.
If Gildarts is an insurmountable mountain, then Kira is an airship that can take off at any time without consuming magic power to drive it. No matter how hard you practice, you can't catch up!
The desire to reproduce is ineffective against Kira, so Lakaid can only choose to change his moves: "Evil Food Soul!!"
The three moves of desire magic are not progressive, because each desire exists independently deep in the human body. Therefore, when used by the same person, there is basically no big difference in strength, unless the proficiency level varies greatly.
But the magicians in this world generally add points to spell power and magic quantity. Only a small number of powerful magicians will care about the proficiency of each magic.
In Lacade's opinion, he had used two kinds of desire magic, "Ultimate Pleasure" and "Death Sleep" yesterday. Kira might have done targeted training overnight, so he was able to resist. And since the reproductive desire was ineffective on him, the effect of the sleep desire might not be ideal, it would be better to choose a surprise attack and try the appetite that he had not used.
"Come on, let me see if you can really resist my magic..."
Lacade looked at Kira, who was still standing still and was gradually enveloped by his magic. His eyes were slightly shining, and that was a color full of curiosity.
"Hmm... appetite? I can definitely feel an impulse different from the previous one. I'm really hungry!" Kira commented on Lacade's magic.
At the same time, his stomach made a loud 'gurgling' sound uncontrollably.
People can resist the desire to reproduce and sleep by relying on strong willpower and external means targeting the body, such as diverting attention through physical pain, but it is extremely difficult to resist appetite because pain cannot distract hunger, but instead increases hunger.
In essence, eating is a necessary condition for the existence of all life. The purpose of eating is to "stay alive", unlike reproduction which is to "extend one's life" or sleep which is to "live better".
Life may not reproduce due to external reasons, such as some animals; it may also give up sleep in the process of evolution, such as some plants; but life cannot live without eating, because life needs to eat to replenish energy to stay alive, and it cannot survive without energy, so this desire is more pure !
There is indeed no difference in the superiority of Lacade's three kinds of desire magic, but the Soul of Evil Food is indeed the most difficult one to crack!
"I'm so hungry! So hungry!! I'm really hungry!!!..."
