Demon God Sitri?

(Uh... it should be the Demon God Halphas... sorry, I was out of my mind!)

Eleven shielded Mira behind him, raising his arm and rolling down his sleeve to reveal the guild emblem on his forearm.

"We are mages from Fairy Tail. We came here on a mission to investigate the Demon God Halphas. And who are you?"

Mira, standing behind him, looked at Eleven, who was spouting nonsense with a straight face, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in her eyes.

As expected of Eleven, he remains calm under pressure at all times. Using the guild's name to intimidate the opponent when their background is unknown is indeed a good strategy!

Fairy Tail?

After carefully examining Eleven's emblem for a while, the bald man in front of him seemed to gradually relax, withdrawing the pressure he had released earlier, and at the same time revealing the mermaid-shaped guild emblem on his body to Eleven and the others.

"I am Jura Neekis of the Lamia Scales, and I apologize for my recklessness just now. It's mainly because of the matter concerning the Demon God Halphas that I have to act cautiously, as there have been quite a few lawbreakers plotting against it recently."

Eleven and Mira relaxed when they saw Jura's guild crest. The crests of legitimate guilds possess a unique aura, making them difficult to forge. Like Lamia Scale Fairy Tail was one of the top guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, a fact even the uneducated Eleven knew.

"It's alright, Mr. Jura, we completely understand, you don't need to apologize. Oh, by the way, I'm Eleven Brain from Fairy Tail, and this is Mirajane Strauss from the same guild. Nice to meet you."

As Eleven introduced them, Mira nodded in acknowledgment. Eleven and Mira were very polite at this moment, after all, they were facing mages from other major guilds, and they didn't want to embarrass Fairy Tail.

Jura, on the other hand, seemed hesitant to speak, and after a long pause, she said with a hint of apology, "Um, I'm really sorry, but could you please tell me what your specific mission is?"

"Forehead..."

Seeing that Eleven and the others were stunned, Jura quickly continued to explain, "Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. But the mission to defeat the Demon God Halphas should have been accepted by us, the Lamia Scales, for some time now. I was just worried that Fairy Tail might not have taken back the mission yet, which would cause a conflict between our missions."

However, if you have other tasks, you don't need to tell me. It was indeed a bit abrupt of me to ask.

Jura raised his large hand and scratched his potato-like head, looking somewhat embarrassed. His easygoing nature meant he wasn't very good at handling these kinds of situations, and he wasn't sure if he'd offended the other person with his words, feeling uneasy.

"Oh, this? Don't worry, we didn't actually receive any mission. Hahaha, sorry, sorry, we just lied to you." Eleven scratched the back of his head and laughed shamelessly.

Jura:

Where did this brat come from? Did he just waste all my feelings?

Don't cause me any more trouble! This is unacceptable!

Fortunately, Eleven didn't grin for long; he regained his serious expression before Jura got angry.

"Mr. Jura, we apologize for interrupting your work, but if your mission is to defeat the Demon God Halphas, could Mira and I assist you?"

"Please rest assured regarding our strength. I am an S-rank mage from Fairy Tail, and Mira also possesses strength approaching S-rank. We won't cause you any trouble."

Eleven spoke earnestly, looking into Jura's eyes with genuine sincerity. From their conversation, Eleven had already determined that Jura was a good person, an honest and kind person, and incredibly strong—at least Eleven felt he couldn't fathom Jura's true power.

Eleven was eager to latch onto such a powerful ally! Even if Jura disagreed, Eleven was determined to stick with him! Since they shared the same goal, could Jura possibly stop them from helping to deal damage?

Jura was somewhat bewildered by Eleven's words. Always honest and unassuming, he rarely encountered someone so shameless. One second he'd lied to him, and the next he wanted him to lead them on a mission? Didn't he feel ashamed?

Seeing that Jura was in a daze, Eleven took it as tacit agreement and continued talking to himself.

"Thank you for letting us join, Mr. Jura. In return, we will share some of the intelligence we've gathered with you."

Jura: [·_·]

After that, Jura listened with a puzzled expression as Eleven told her about the clues they had found regarding the Demon God Halphas.

Although she didn't know when she had agreed to let Eleven join, Jura began to admire the young man and woman before her as she listened.

According to Eleven's account, these two people had only been in the town for less than a day, yet they had gathered just as much information as he had, someone who had been in the town for several days.

The people in this town clearly can't speak properly, so I really don't know how these two teenagers managed to get so much information.

"Oh? Mr. Jura, you also think there's something wrong with that church?" Eleven looked up at Jura.

Jura, having started a serious discussion with Eleven at some point, nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I met the priest there. He is indeed a bit strange, but he's just an ordinary person. I didn't find any trace of demons on him."

"Demons don't necessarily hide inside humans; they can hide in any unexpected place. I think we should go take another look," Mira, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, expressing her opinion.

No one present understood demons better than Mira, Eleven certainly didn't.

What kind of opinion? Although Jura didn't know the little girl's abilities, he didn't think it was a bad idea. Going to see for himself would surely lead to some new discoveries.

Sure enough, as soon as the group arrived near the church, Mira exclaimed in alarm, sensing the presence of a demon.

So, under the astonished gazes of the old priest and Jura, Eleven and Mira crashed through the church wall with a loud bang and arrived near a small lake behind the church.

"Right here! In the lake, I can feel it!" Mira's expression was serious, and the demonic particles within her body unconsciously stirred, ready to enter Demon mode at any moment.

Jura also came over at this moment. Although he was somewhat speechless at the two little ones' careless destruction of public facilities, this was not the time to concern himself with such trivial matters. Jura was also carefully sensing the aura in the lake water, but his perception of demons was obviously not as keen as Mira's, and he sensed nothing.

Eleven trusted Mira completely and didn't waste any more time sensing anything. His Telekinesis burst forth, plunging into the lake like a dragon entering the sea, and began to stir it wildly.

As Eleven stirred the lake water, a huge whirlpool gradually formed, stirring up the fish and shrimp in the lake, which emitted faint, mournful cries.

Jura, was somewhat surprised by Eleven's attack methods, but his worry was even stronger at the moment, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Um... we're not sure about Halphas's situation yet, so perhaps we shouldn't have alerted them like this..."

"Ha! Got you!!"

Before Jura could finish speaking, Eleven suddenly shouted, his eyes flashing with a dark light, and the stirred lake water seemed to boil and churn.

"Mira, Mr. Jura, watch out, I've got him!"

The next second, with a splash and a huge wave rising from the water, a massive creature was lifted out of the water upside down by Eleven.

Mira and Jura also turned their gazes toward the colossal object before them, their magical energy surging as they prepared for battle.

Ababa

However, the anticipated devastating attack did not occur. Instead, the creature that Eleven had pulled from the water became somewhat panicked and started yelling incoherently.

Eleven also somewhat stunned. His Spiritual Power had already covered the other party, so his senses were absolutely correct; this was definitely the feeling of a demon.

But this creature before me...

Hmm... how should I put it?

They're actually kind of cute!

With its blue skin, chubby paws, and round body, if it weren't for the sky-blue wings growing from its back and the two sharp, scale-covered horns on its forehead, this thing would be a giant salamander!

"This... this is the Demon God Halphas?"
