Some Idiots Will Always Be Idiots

The residents of Anzu below had already closed their eyes in despair, but the expected impact did not come. Instead, with a loud bang, Halphas's massive body was once again blasted into the air.

Eleven's figure was already blocking the center between Halphas and the town. With each Telekinesis blow from below, Halphas could not even fall to the ground.

As Fairy Tail mage, Eleven naturally made thorough preparations before acting; how could he possibly allow Halphas to fall and destroy the town? Hmm! That's out of the question!

As Eleven attacked, Halphas let out a series of painful cries.

It was unwilling to accept this, thinking that it, the mighty Demon God Halphas, had existed for countless years, yet today it had been humiliated to such a state by three lowly humans!

"You lowly beasts! How dare you! How dare you! Roar!! You will all die!" At this moment, Halphas actually spoke human language, and the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

Demonic wings unfurled behind him, forcibly stabilizing his figure. A monstrous surge of demonic energy rose up, and his eyes turned completely bloodshot.

"You all must die! You all must die..."

"Fuck your sister!"

Bang!!

Before Halphas could even muster its strength, Eleven had already appeared above it, unleashing a powerful Telekinesis strike that slammed into Halphas's head, silencing its unfinished threats and sending it plummeting headfirst to the ground.

Rumble!

Halphas's massive body collapsed large areas of housing, and citizens fled in all directions, crying out in despair. In the sky Eleven slapped his forehead, his face filled with regret.

Seriously, I wasn't paying attention and it got knocked down. That damned Halphas, destroying the town, unforgivable!

Halphas's injuries were truly severe; no matter how much it howled in vain, it couldn't change the fact that it was badly wounded. It was a naturally born demon, lacking the special abilities of the demons in the Book of Zeref. At most, it could manipulate human minds and absorb negative emotions, making it a perfectly orthodox lesser demon.

So, the next part of the time was Eleven and Mira's personal show, and also Zaun's time to suffer.

The two humans and the demon were locked in a fierce battle in the town of Zaun, with no time to spare for anything else. Just imagine the destruction a behemoth like Halphas would cause rolling around in the city, not to mention the two even more unscrupulous guys helping him.

Sometimes, the citizens of Zaun even suspected that Eleven and his group were in league with Halphas and were there specifically to deal with them!

"Rock Iron Wall!"

A rock wall rose from the ground, blocking Halphas's verbal attack and successfully saving a building that looked quite luxurious.

After a hurried journey, Jura finally arrived!

However, Jura was completely bewildered at this moment. Watching the two fighting Halphas in the city, Jura opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

He knew that Halphas was very troublesome, and some damage was inevitable, but... but, do you really have to fight in the city?

Can't we go somewhere else to fight?

Hey! You little rascal Eleven over there, don't tear down houses and use them as weapons to smash people!

And that little girl over there, can we aim a little more accurately? Don't keep hitting the surrounding buildings!

Jura felt she had truly learned something new today. These two guys were just as capable of destroying the town as that demon god, and they showed absolutely no remorse whatsoever.

I've heard rumors, but are all Fairy Tail mages this outrageous?

Jura longed to rejoin the battle against Halphas and end the demolition, but he couldn't; all his energy was focused on continuously releasing Rock Iron Wall to protect the town.

Relegated to a support role Jura found himself even more exhausted than when he was playing a damage-dealing role. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since becoming a mage.

Boom!!

Eleven clenched his hands in the air, detonating one of his mental clones. The violent Telekinesis exploded in Halphas's stomach, sending plumes of black blood mist flying everywhere and staining the surrounding streets.

"Mira! Now's the time!" Eleven steadied his body, which was swaying slightly from the self-destruction of his Spiritual Power, and shouted loudly at Mira.

Halphas's final frenzy was ultimately futile, merely devouring one of Eleven's clones, which ironically became the key to Eleven and Mira's counterattack and decisive victory.

"Take Over!"

Mira flashed to the top of Halphas's head, pressed her hands down, and a huge magic circle appeared. The demonic energy within her coiled around him, releasing a terrifying suction force that only demons could feel, devouring every bit of energy from Halphas's body.

Roar!!

Halphas roared in despair, but it was all irreversible; it was powerless to resist any longer.

This time, capturing the demon was easier than Eleven had anticipated, mainly because they had Jura as a powerful ally. Jura was responsible for most of the damage output, while Eleven were just there to finish off the enemies.

In just a few minutes, Halphas's enormous body vanished from its spot, and the overwhelming demonic energy was continuously absorbed into Mira's body until Halphas's last breath disappeared from this world.

Mira's appearance had changed drastically. She was no longer the Satan Soul that Eleven knew, but had transformed into a different blue demon. Her demonic attire was still very sexy, but the wings on her back had become the blue wings of Halphas, and her large tail had become fleshy and light blue, which actually made her look somewhat cute.

Take Over the entire Demon God Halphas Soul!

The moment Mira opened her eyes, Eleven was somewhat stunned. An overwhelming malice emanated from Mira's pupils, but Mira quickly closed her eyes again.

"Mira, are you alright? How are you feeling?" Eleven cautiously approached.

Take Over Magic is a test for the user every time Take Over a powerful soul; if they are not careful, they may suffer a backlash and have their mind stripped away.

This was Mira's final battle against Halphas, and no one else could interfere; Eleven could only watch with concern.

Fortunately, Mira didn't keep Eleven waiting too long. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was clear once more, and Halphas had been completely subdued by her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it's just... I'm still a little..."

Mira smiled at Eleven, and as she spoke, she withdrew the Halphas's Take Over and returned to her original form. However, the next moment her body weakened and she fell forward. Eleven quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Hehe... it's just not really suitable..." Mira chuckled foolishly, leaning against Eleven's chest.

"Don't be so reckless, you idiot!" Eleven snapped, annoyed. He'd really been scared.

"Oh, is this a demon's Take Over Magic? That's quite rare!" Jura arrived at this moment. The battle was over, and he was finally freed from the endless anti-demolition campaign. He looked at Mira and grinned, "Congratulations, Mirajane. You came here to Take Over Halphas, didn't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Jura, I really have to thank you for your help this time. Without you, we don't know how much effort we would have had to put in to subdue Halphas." Eleven offered his heartfelt thanks to Jura.

"Haha, it's nothing. My mission was to defeat Halphas anyway. I should be thanking you for your help." Jura heartily, appearing very cheerful and friendly.

"I'm going to pick up a mission from my employer next, so I'll probably stay here for a few more days. What about you guys? Would you like to stay and rest as well?" Jura actually thought quite highly of Eleven. He was young but quite strong. As a fellow mage from the guild, she really wanted to chat with Eleven more.

"Haha, since you put it that way, then we'll..."

Eleven smiled, seeing Jura's enthusiasm, and didn't want to refuse her kindness. He was about to agree, but when his gaze fell upon the ravaged town, he couldn't utter a single word...

Huh? How did this place get like this?

Huh? Did Mira and I do this?

Huh? Do we really still have time to keep rambling on?

At that moment, Eleven's back was instantly drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring out incessantly. It took him a long time to finally look away from the town.

"Um... well... since you put it that way, then we... we won't stay any longer. We plan to head back now!"

Jura:[_]

"Mr. Jura! This time, Mira and I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, please come to Fairy Tail anytime. Thank you again! Well then, farewell!" Eleven pulled Mira and bowed deeply to Jura, then the two turned and ran away without the slightest bit of lingering.

Jura:[_]

Are these two kids a little dim-witted? How come they suddenly started talking and then veered off-topic? I really don't know what young people are thinking these days!

Jura was completely baffled by Eleven and his group's actions, scratching his bald head in bewilderment. But when he was surrounded by a group of angry Zaun citizens, he became even more confused, as if the hair on his head, which had long since disappeared, was starting to fall out again!

In their haste to escape Eleven and Mira didn't know how far they had run. By the time they stopped, it was already getting dark, and they had no idea where they had ended up in some unknown grove of trees.

Eleven leaned against a big tree and plopped down, glancing around nervously before feeling a little more at ease.

I feel a little bad for Jura, but... that's compensation for almost half the town!! Fairy Tail is really so poor they're practically broke!!

Anyway, this is a quest from the Lamia Scale, so it shouldn't be unreasonable for them to make up for it... probably!

I'm sorry... Uncle Jura... Amen!

Mira glanced at the brooding Eleven, probably knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself before finding a seat next to Eleven.

Mira didn't really care much about the compensation issue; she just left it to the old man to worry about. Only Eleven would occasionally show a little concern for the old man, earnestly repenting but never truly changing his ways.

Eleven rambled on for a while before quieting down. He and Mira were both exhausted from a day of fighting, and they sat quietly against a large tree, too tired to even talk.

As night deepened, countless stars, like a curtain of rain, adorned the night sky. Suddenly, countless fireflies emerged from the grove, echoing the twinkling stars and creating an exceptionally beautiful and tranquil scene.

Mira lifted her eyelids and gazed at the fluorescent lights dancing in the air. Fragments of Memories flashed through her mind, making her eyes somewhat unfocused.

I remember that night they also rested in the glowing night sky, with this guy sitting beside her.

Mira glanced up at Eleven's profile, her body unconsciously leaning closer, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Back then, this guy was a despicable kidnapper!

He's an exceptionally gentle kidnapper.

That moment of tenderness was incredibly precious to Mira, like a beacon in the darkest abyss, giving Mira new hope.

Mira was always grateful to Eleven for bringing her and her two siblings back to Fairy Tail, giving them a home to return to.

In truth, Mira herself didn't know if she had any more complicated feelings for Eleven, and she didn't quite understand them. At first, she even went to books to research, but the books explained things in a more complicated way, full of confusing terms like Stockholm Syndrome.

As time went on, Mira gave up. It didn't matter anymore; she wasn't exactly a thoughtful person anyway. All she knew was that she felt comfortable and at ease with Eleven, and... sometimes even a little shy. But there was nothing wrong with that feeling.

"Mira, look, fireflies! Hehe, this scene feels just like the one we had in the Magic Forest!"

Eleven opened his eyes at some point, a faint light flickering in his pale blue pupils as he gazed at the fluorescent lights in the sky, seemingly lost in memories as well.

Mira looked up at the pensive Eleven with some surprise, not expecting that this guy could still remember things from so long ago.

As Mira watched Eleven reminisce, her gaze softened, her eyes sparkling, and all traces of her former brashness vanished.

But the next second, Eleven's expression turned strange, and he even shivered as if he had thought of something.

"Ugh, just thinking about the day we first met reminds me of those monkeys! My god, how many of them did I catch with my Telekinesis that day... Ugh, I can't take it anymore, it's disgusting just thinking about it!"

Mira:(_)

Mira silently sat up straight, moved away from the person, and resumed her cool demeanor.

Perhaps being with this guy isn't as comfortable as I imagined!

Hmph, what an idiot!

Genius in a second: m. biquzhh
