In this world, there are three types of Slayer Magic.
Dragon Slayer Magic, God Slayer Magic, and Devil Slayer Magic.
They are magics used to fight against dragons, gods, and demons, respectively.
Zera had known this basic knowledge from Weston's mouth since the first day she began learning Fire God Slayer Magic.
However, the number of Wizards capable of learning this type of magic was truly too few!
Zera knew there were many powerful Wizards in the world, and her own talent was definitely not outstanding, so she wouldn't be surprised at all if she encountered a similar existence in the future.
She just hadn't expected to encounter one so early.
"Devil Slayer Magic..."
"Magic specifically developed to target devils?"
"I didn't think 'Fire Devil Slayer Magic' actually existed..."
Hearing Zera's mutterings, Lena also looked slightly surprised: "It seems you have some understanding of this magic!"
"By the way, it's said that your guild master's magic, the Super Archive, can search the history of the magic world. You must have learned about it from him, right?"
Zera nodded, then shook her head.
"The term 'Devil Slayer Magic' was indeed told to me by Weston."
"But he also mentioned that the Super Archive found no records of 'Fire Devil Slayer Magic'..."
Having said this, her gaze toward the opponent grew a few degrees more curious.
Lena knew what Zera was curious about.
"That's natural!"
"Because the cultivation method for 'Devil Slayer Magic' is quite special."
Special?
How special could it be?
"Devil Slayer Magic is different from God Slayer Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic. It cannot be learned directly, nor can it be obtained through 'implanting Lacrima'. Instead, it must be inherited by 'defeating the previous practitioner'."
"When the next person defeats the previous one, they can automatically obtain this magic from that person's body."
"Back then, I used this method to snatch this magic from the previous user!"
"Of course, only the magic itself can be inherited, not the magical power or anything else."
Hearing this, Zera felt even more that something was wrong.
"That's impossible!"
"Slayer Magic has an absolute advantage over the same element. Even if you are an expert proficient in fire magic, it's impossible to win against a user of 'Fire Devil Slayer Magic'!"
"'Defeating' can be done in many ways. You don't necessarily have to win by clashing head-on."
"As expected, you used schemes and trickery..."
Lena revealed a devious smile. Far from being ashamed of her actions, she took pride in them.
"I am a Wizard of a Dark Guild. Isn't it normal to use schemes and trickery?"
That actually sounds quite logical!!
"Which means..."
"If I defeat you, I can also inherit this magic?"
Hearing this, Lena let out a 'cluck-cluck' laugh, her two mountains of flesh shaking up and down along with her shoulders.
"That's right!"
"The question is, can you do it?"
Zera narrowed her eyes and settled into a combat stance.
"Let's try it. I won't lose anything anyway!"
"I imagine you're also quite curious to see which is more powerful: 'God Slayer Magic' or 'Devil Slayer Magic'?"
Seeing Zera's expression turn so serious, Lena also mobilized her own magical power. In an instant, a burst of pink flames ignited around her body.
"Shall we have a showdown between fire Wizards?"
"Interesting!"
"Then I shall accompany you to the end!"
As the words fell.
Boom—!!
Black and pink flames erupted simultaneously. The momentum pierced through the clouds and swept across the surroundings, raising the ambient temperature by several dozen degrees.
Nearby Wizards were affected and looked over one after another.
"So hot!"
"What's the situation?!"
"It's Zera! Has she encountered a difficult opponent? This magical power doesn't seem simple!"
"You guys, go over quickly and check the situation!"
"Yes!!"
However, just as the guild Wizards were about to rush over, Zera suddenly shouted.
"Stay back!"
"This person is my opponent. Leave her to me. None of you are allowed to interfere!"
"Of course, don't let the people on the opposite side interfere either!"
The Wizards were stunned upon hearing this, but they still obediently stopped in their tracks.
"This... what should we do...??"
While everyone was hesitating, Mavis walked over: "Since Zera has said so, everyone should do as she says. Anyway, the people from 'Snake's Eye' have been mostly dealt with. There won't be any problems."
"...Alright then."
Due to Zera's persistence, the two of them initiated a one-on-one duel amidst this guild war.
"Now, no one will disturb us."
"Take this!!"
Zera took a deep breath and charged forward again, swinging her arms: "Fire God's Fist!!"
Black flames flowed rapidly, condensing into a gauntlet with sharp blades on her fist. As Zera lunged forward, it continuously emitted a dangerous aura.
But in the next moment, Zera felt her fist slip out of her control. It actually distorted its direction and smashed toward her own face.
Swoosh—!!
In the blink of an eye, Zera tilted her head, and the fire fist missed.
"You haven't forgotten, have you? Besides Devil Slayer Magic, I can also manipulate flames!"
Lena stood high and mighty on the spot, looking at Zera with a gaze as if she were looking at a child jumping up to hit her own knees.
"Stop talking nonsense!!"
Zera gave a loud shout and clapped her hands together, merging the black flames of her left hand with the black flames of her right hand, turning them into a giant fireball.
"Fire God's Kagutsuchi!!"
As the magical output increased, Lena was unable to control the flames and was forced to respond.
"Fire Devil's Capriccio!!"
Suddenly, two giant fireballs, one black and one pink, surged from the hands of Zera and Lena, crashing toward each other.
Boom—!!
The flames collided in mid-air, creating a violent explosion.
The terrifying high temperature, accompanied by strong winds, swept in all directions. The area for dozens of meters around was devastated, and even the space seemed to become distorted from the heat.
Mages fighting not far away felt the change in the battle here, and each one grew alarmed.
"What terrifying flames!"
"Zera seems to have met a troublesome opponent. Don't we need to go over and look?"
"Don't worry, Mavis and Warrod are both watching nearby."
Unlike the calmness of Fairy Tail, the Wizards of 'Snake's Eye' looked extremely disheveled.
"That magical power... is the Vice Guild Master? But it feels a bit different from usual..."
"Who cares if it's different or not! Just hurry up and save us, Vice Guild Master!!"
"It's no use. The Vice Guild Master is completely immersed in the battle..."
"What about the Guild Master? Why hasn't he finished off the enemy yet?"
"The Guild Master? He's about to be finished off by the enemy! He's been suppressed and beaten by that 'Fairy Commander' since the very beginning!"
"Wahhh... then we're finished!!"
