"Talk about rotten luck," Kira grumbled, staring at the snow-covered ground. "I pick the safest path, and of course, it's the wrong call. Every time I face a big decision, I fumble it!"
The tunnel he'd trekked through ended at the mountain's peak. Who would've thought? A super-secret cave with only three paths, and one of them just happens to lead straight to the top!
"What was the architect of this place even thinking? Trying to make climbing easier? I don't get it!" Kira huffed.
"All that effort climbing thousands of steps, and for what? Total letdown!"
The mountaintop was empty—nothing but howling wind and swirling snow. Kira suddenly felt a bit bored.
"Should I backtrack and try the other two paths?" he mused. "But I'm already up here. If those paths just lead to more of this, I'm gonna feel like an idiot. Twice the fool, maybe even three times if I'm unlucky!"
He paced back and forth, his white boots leaving a messy trail of footprints in the snow. "What to do… Maybe I should call Erza and the others up here. Let them take a path each—split the work, keep it fair!"
BOOM!
A sudden explosion echoed through the air, snapping Kira out of his thoughts. He whipped his head toward the sound, coming from a nearby peak. Thick snow, about three meters deep, was sliding off the mountain in a frenzy, triggered by some kind of shock. Then, a wave of scorching heat rose from beneath the snow, creating strange air currents at the peak.
The currents swirled, and the clash of hot and cold air whipped up a fierce wind that blasted in every direction.
Kira's eyes widened. "No wonder it's so windy up here!"
He closed his eyes, focusing for a moment. "Wait… that magic power. It's familiar… Natsu?!"
Even from this distance, Kira could sense it—Natsu's fiery magic, wild and restless. "What's going on? Is he fighting a tough enemy out here? In a place like this?"
Kira racked his brain, trying to recall the Fairy Tail storyline. In the original plot, Zonia didn't have any big side quests like this. But this mission felt like it was tied to the deeper Fairy Tail world, unfolding in ways he hadn't expected.
Was this a butterfly effect from his presence in this world? Or was the world itself filling in gaps left by the original story? Either way, Kira knew one thing for sure: if he didn't unravel the mystery of this place, he'd be too excited to sleep tonight!
"Guess I'll go check it out," he decided.
From what he knew, this place was likely the site of an ancient battle between gods and God Slayer mages. Kira had a hunch about what these "gods" might be, but the origins of God Slayer Magic were still a puzzle. Dragon Slayer Magic came from the human-dragon war, a gift from dragons to humans, embedding draconic power into them. But what about God Slayer Magic? Or Demon Slayer Magic? The original story never explained their origins or when they appeared. Maybe this trip to Zonia would finally shed some light on it.

Here's what Kira knew about God Slayer Magic so far:
- It's a lost magic, one of the ancient kinds, though no one knows how ancient. Known God Slayer Magics are recorded in books and can be learned that way, but you need serious talent to pull it off.
- The magic's creations are black in color, designed specifically to take down gods. But gods in the Fairy Tail world are rare—aside from Ankhseram, the god of life and death who haunted Zeref's life, there's only one of the Eighteen Battle Gods summoned in the Dark Guild arc and the Time God wielded by one of the Alvarez Empire's Spriggan 12.
- It's not limited to one element, suggesting a complete magical lineage, not some random fluke.
- It's a slayer-type magic, capable of consuming the same element to gain power. For example, Zancrow of the Seven Kin could eat Natsu's fire, but Natsu couldn't eat his in return. Sherria's fight with Wendy showed God Slayer Magic often outclasses Dragon Slayer Magic in raw power.
- Users don't get motion sickness on vehicles.
As for Demon Slayer Magic, there's even less to go on:
- Only one element has appeared, and only two users are known, but it can be inherited.
- Its origins are a mystery—Silver learned it from somewhere, but no details were given.
- It doesn't have a distinct color.
- Like God Slayer Magic, users seem immune to motion sickness.
- Both magics share one trait: immunity to attacks of the same element and a special boost against their target species.
"Maybe the client who posted this job knows something about gods or the origins of God Slayer Magic," Kira thought. He figured Natsu could introduce him to the client—time to get some answers.
Sensing Natsu's battle heating up, Kira decided he'd better head over. "Might be something interesting to gain from this," he thought, smirking. "And by interesting, I mean whatever the enemy's got!"
But first, the entrance. It had to be epic. Cool, stylish, the kind of arrival that screams, "This guy's a big deal, don't mess with him!" to enemies and "We've got this in the bag!" to allies. That meant a wardrobe change.
"Who doesn't know a little requip magic these days? It's not like it's some high-level spell," Kira said with a grin.
"Requip!"
As a master blacksmith, Kira didn't just craft armor for Erza—he'd made something for himself too. His new outfit was woven from ice silkworm silk, warm in winter, cool in summer, and super flexible. The base was white, accented with sea-blue waves and delicate purple embroidery, with silver crystals adding a touch of flair. His white cloth boots gave the ensemble a light, flowing vibe. The platinum cape he usually wore was swapped for a massive set of twelve white wings sprouting from the outfit, making him look like an angel descended from the heavens.
How do you even describe that level of cool?
Following the pull of Natsu's magic, Kira spread his wings and soared toward the distant peak.

Meanwhile, flames roared, but against the shapeless, misty clouds, they were useless. BOOM! WHOOSH!
Below a snowy cliff, red and white magic clashed—flames and clouds locked in a fierce stalemate. The clouds, born of water, evaporated into steam when they met Natsu's fire, only to reform moments later. No matter how hard Natsu attacked, the clouds wouldn't break.
Natsu was tiring, his energy draining, but he was starting to get a grip on the fight. He might not be the sharpest mind in the guild, but his battle instincts were top-notch. Given enough time, he could pick up on an enemy's habits and find their weakness.
"Hahaha! A mere human thinks they can beat me?" A figure formed in the swirling clouds—a wite-haired girl named Chloe. She smirked at Natsu. "I told you, the gap between species isn't something you can overcome with just guts. Your attacks are useless against a demon like me! Even with your flames, you can't touch me, but my attacks hit you just fine. Keep this up, and I'll be the one standing in the end!"
Natsu just grinned back. "There's no such thing as unbeatable magic. Your clouds might have the upper hand now, but nothing's perfect!"
High above, Happy was zipping through the air, carrying Natsu as he launched attack after attack at the surrounding clouds. Meanwhile, Lucy hid nearby, racking her brain for a way to help.
"No good! That won't work either!" Lucy muttered. "There's gotta be a way to help Natsu!"
