Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Murciélago

South Gate Park

When Nate met Mirajane, her beautiful white hair was still damp, and a hint of nervousness marked her expression. It was the first time he'd seen her look so hesitant.

"Don't worry, we'll find her."

"Mm..." Mirajane nodded softly. After a pause, she spoke in a low voice:

"It's been two years since everything happened, and now the chance to see Lisanna again has come so suddenly... It's a little overwhelming."

Nate reached out, trying to distract her with small talk. "By the way, how old is Lisanna?"

"She was fifteen when she disappeared two years ago," Mirajane answered, placing her hand in his. Her spirits lifted as she added with a smile, "She should be seventeen now. If I see her again, maybe even I, her older sister, won't recognize her."

Mirajane was nineteen, her brother Elfman eighteen, and her sister Lisanna seventeen.

Nate chuckled. "Keep that smile. You wouldn't want your sister's first sight of you to be all gloomy, would you?"

"Of course not," Mirajane replied with a pout.

"Let's get going. Hold on tight."

Nate took her small, delicate hand and reminded her, "The teleportation might be a bit rough—I don't want us to get separated in transit. I'd end up with another person to find."

"Got it!"

Mirajane took a deep breath and held tightly onto Nate's hand. His hand was large and warm, and she felt herself calming down.

The Flying Thunder God magic circle activated beneath them, casting them in a golden glow for over ten seconds. In the next instant, Nate and Mirajane vanished from the park.

...

Parallel World: Edolas

A streak of golden light tore across the night sky as Nate and Mirajane appeared. As Nate expected, the teleportation coordinates were slightly off.

"Ah!"

Mirajane let out a scream as she lost her grip on Nate's hand and began to fall. Instinctively, she attempted to transform.

"Full-Body Takeover: Satan Soul!"

But the magic wouldn't respond. Her Takeover magic failed.

"Magic doesn't work?" Mirajane was stunned. Before she could process it, Nate caught up and cradled her in his arms.

"I forgot to give you this," he said, producing a vial from Mystogan. "Open wide."

Blinking, Mirajane opened her mouth slightly, and Nate placed a small red pill inside. As she swallowed, she felt her magic return to her control.

She didn't question it; she trusted Nate entirely. Looking around, her eyes widened in amazement.

"This is the parallel world... Edolas?"

In the night sky, a vast Milky Way stretched across the heavens, with massive planets suspended overhead. It was a magical sight unseen in their world of Earth Land.

It was also Nate's first time in Edolas, where he saw floating islands scattered across the sky and streams winding between them, appearing out of nowhere.

"Let's enjoy the scenery later. For now, we need to find Lisanna."

Nate carried Mirajane to the nearest floating island and set her down. They gazed toward the distant ground, where a sprawling, disk-shaped city glowed with lights, looking more like a capital than a small town.

"That might be the new royal capital of Edolas..." Nate guessed.

Mirajane surveyed the unfamiliar world before glancing at him. "How do we go about searching?"

After a moment, she suggested, "For now, let's head to the nearest city and gather information."

"Good idea."

Mirajane chuckled. "Some idea—it's just the most basic approach."

"Well, I gathered some information before coming," Nate explained. "There are people here with the same names and appearances as those in our world."

"So there's another Mirajane in this world?" Mirajane asked, intrigued by the idea of her counterpart.

"Not only that—there's a guild here called Fairy Tail, too. But in Edolas, Fairy Tail is a dark guild."

"A dark guild?" Mirajane was surprised, struggling to imagine Fairy Tail as a dark guild.

Then again, she supposed it wasn't that far-fetched.

After all, the Fairy Tail of Earth Land was far more destructive than most dark guilds—tearing up streets, demolishing ports, burning fields, destroying forests...

Mirajane covered her face with her hand.

Now that she thought about it, their guild really was remarkable, capable of things most dark guilds wouldn't even attempt, and all they had to do afterward was submit a report from their guild master.

"So, do we need to find the dark guild Fairy Tail? Could Lisanna be with them?" Mirajane took a deep breath, her gaze growing determined. "Then let's go, Nate! Let's get information about Fairy Tail!"

From her look, it seemed she was ready to use force if necessary.

Never underestimate the urgency of a sister searching for her sibling...

Nate summoned a sword into his hand. "Wait a second, Mirajane, take this."

"What is it?"

Mirajane grasped the sword hilt, and as soon as she touched it, her TakeOver magic activated, gathering information at once.

Her eyes widened. "This is... a demon?"

"It's a powerful magic item called 'Murciélago'. You should be able to use it."

Unlike Senbonzakura or Sode no Shirayuki, it wasn't strictly a Zanpakuto; it channeled Hollow energy. Its release wasn't a Shikai or Bankai but rather a transformation called 'Resurrección'.

Nate shared the release command with Mirajane.

"Want to give it a try?"

Mirajane stared at him, sensing the weapon's immense power. Thinking of how he had joined her in her search for Lisanna and even offered her such a gift, she nodded gratefully.

"I'll try... 'Confine, Murciélago!'"

Boom!

A surge of dark green magic engulfed her, surrounding her entire body like a storm, as if the sky itself was raining magic power.

Nate sensed her magic power rapidly increasing, now nearing six stars—surpassing even Laxus's.

Previously, Mirajane's magic had been in recovery, not at her former 'Demon Mirajane' peak. But now, using the Ulquiorra Cifer's Resurrección, she had instantly surpassed her former self.

After a moment, the dark green energy receded.

Black-Winged Demon—or rather, Black-Winged Lady Demon.

(Note: Murciélago is Japanese for Black-Winged Demon)

Now Mirajane bore black wings, her white hair cascading down her back. Her once-gentle face now carried a striking, queenly allure.

The sword had vanished with the transformation. Nate admired Mirajane's new look, so different from her usual self.

"How does it feel?"

"Incredible! My magic feels so much stronger, and I've even learned some demonic magics."

Mirajane was stunned by her own power.

Nate chuckled. "Come on, let's find that information. Follow me."

He soared toward the distant capital, and Mirajane quickly flapped her wings to fly beside him.

"Nate, thank you," she said with a sultry smile.

"Maybe next time we can go camping together?"

"...Sure," Nate replied, his face slightly red as he recalled their last outing. She moved closer, holding his hand, then whispered:

"But, tell me—who is your girlfriend?"

"!?"

Nate's eye twitched.

Girlfriend? Which one is she asking about?

...

Royal Palace

In the audience chamber, King Faust looked grim as he addressed his second magic warfare captain, kneeling before him.

"Investigate that unusual burst of magic outside the city... Erza Knightwalker!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Just then—Boom!

The ceiling shattered as a man and woman descended, instantly putting the soldiers on high alert.

Nate hovered calmly in mid-air.

"No need, King. We're already here."
