Mira's New Form?

Hughes' left hand, which was resting on Dojigiri's shoulder, suddenly swung upwards diagonally, landing with a slap on Dojigiri's slightly smooth back of the head.

Dojigiri, his deep red five fingers leaving a mark, and the light of his self-destruction dissipated.

"Self-destruct, all you ever think about is self-destruction. If you just self-destruct, why would I bother with all this effort!" Hughes, disguised as Jose, glanced at it sideways and said irritably.

Then, his right hand, which was deep inside the body of the demon Dojigiri, rotated half a circle and suddenly pulled out.

Before Dojigiri let out a wail, Hughes unleashed a barrage of attacks with both hands, striking various parts of Dojigiri's body with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The body, swollen like a corpse that had been soaking in water for several days, suddenly collapsed, its giant-like form resembling that of Dojigiri.

[Absorbed a small amount of Devil Factor, Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level +0.01%, Current Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level: 58.9% (Initial Awakening)]

[Absorbed a small amount of Devil Factor, Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level +0.01%, Current Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level: 61.5% (Initial Awakening)]

Ignoring the notification in his mind, Hughes narrowed his eyes and stared at Dojigiri for a long time.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

He bent down, spread his five fingers Dojigiri, and grasped the slightly thick octopus leg in his palm, squeezing it tightly.

"Crunch, crunch!"

After a series of painful sounds, Hughes held a piece of octopus leg in his hand. Seeing that the Dojigiri remained motionless despite the torture, Hughes finally realized that it had truly passed out!

All this caution and care was because Hughes planned to bring the Dojigiri, to Mira's three little ones.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Dojigiri's strength, but rather that the Nine Demon Gates's Magic Barrier Particles were difficult to guard against.

Given Mira and her two companions' current strength and physique, if they were to accidentally inhale even a wisp of it, even Granny Porlyusica might not be able to save them.

Unable to determine when Dojigiri would wake up, Hughes didn't dare to delay and, clutching Dojigiri, rushed towards where Mira and the other two were.

Soon, the four met in a secluded valley. Hughes sat on the still unconscious Dojigiri and waved to Mira and Elfman.

Lisanna: "Hughes, what about me?"

"You, go somewhere cool and stay there. You're not part of this trip!" Hughes said with a grin, making a face.

Suspecting she was being isolated again, Lisanna pouted slightly, rolled her eyes at Hughes, and then slipped aside to observe.

She knew Hughes was up to something serious, so she wouldn't cause trouble!

After dealing with Lisanna, Hughes pointed to the Dojigiri and explained to Mira and Elfman.

The reason he brought the three little ones with him on this trip was to see if Mira and Elfman could absorb the Dojigiri and increase their strength.

Mira possesses the ability to Take Over Magic of Satan Soul, a perfect match for her expertise, so Hughes has no doubt that she can receive the Dojigiri.

However, she is still young and lacks sufficient magic power; if she were to fully absorb the Dojigiri, she would inevitably go berserk and lose control.

Hughes wanted her to try receiving the Demon Blade Curse of the Dojigiri.

In the original story, when Mira received Seilah's Curse, she said that compared to receiving a demon's spell, simply receiving a demon's Curse was much less burdensome and did not require much magic power.

The cursed Demon Blade Curse of Dojigiri is not particularly powerful, nor does it have any other fancy functions.

Given Mira's magical talent, she should be able to accept it now.

As for bringing Elfman over, Hughes wanted to see if he could accept the body of the Dojigiri.

Take Over Magic: Beast Soul is one of the most idealistic types of magic.

To what extent is it idealistic?

As soon as the music started, Elfman could receive whatever he wanted, much like the card player next door who was printing cards live.

During the battle against Rustyrose on Tenrou Island, the sacred site of Fairy Tail, Elfman received the giant iron claw materialized by the Lost Magic "Arc of Embodiment".

While on the Guiltina Continent, Elfman received a portion of the power of the Wood Dragon God Aldoron, thus gaining the power to slay dragons—the Dragon Arm!

When he first saw this, Hughes was speechless and didn't even know where to complain.

This aligns with Take Over Magic, the Beast Soul?

All I can say is that Makarov was right; magic is idealistic.

However, following this line of reasoning, Elfman's Take Over Magic: Beast Soul can even receive the power of the Wood Dragon God, so he should be able to receive Dojigiri's body, right?

After all, Dojigiri has eight octopus legs, and in terms of appearance, it's more likely to be associated with the Beast Soul than a dragon.

But Elfman has the same problem as Mira; Elfman has only been training for a few months.

Even if Elfman could actually accept the Dojigiri, Hughes wouldn't rashly let him accept Dojigiri!

Therefore, Hughes planned to absorb 99% of the Devil Origin of the Dojigiri Dojigiri after Mira received the curse.

Only leave the ability to breathe to the Dojigiri, then let Elfman take over!

After Hughes ' explanation, Mira turned to look at Elfman with concern.

She was confident in herself, but Elfman...

This is a demon from the Book of Zeref. Even if it's been weakened by Hughes, can Elfman really handle it with his current strength?

To rashly accept the presence of such a powerful being could, at best, lead to a berserk state, and at worst, result in severe injury and the interruption of one's magical path.

even...

"Elfman, how about..."

Before Mira could finish speaking, Elfman shook his head and interrupted her.

He also wants to become stronger!

"Mira, I want to give it a try!" Elfman said in a deep voice, "I don't know if I can succeed, but if I go berserk or something else happens, I'll have to trouble you and Hughes!"

Facing Elfman's intense gaze, Hughes waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, it's not a big deal; if anything really happens, Lisanna will just support you for the rest of your life!"

Lisanna:???

I didn't do anything, so why am I being blamed?

I don't understand!

"Alright, Mira, you go first. I'll help you suppress the Dojigiri and make sure it doesn't affect you."

When you receive something, weigh the pros and cons yourself. If you can accept it, then accept it; if not, don't force it. I have plenty of good stuff!

After giving this instruction, Hughes paused, lightly tapping Lisanna was standing too close, before continuing, "Lisanna, step back a little, your breathing is disturbing us!"

Hughes didn't know why his words, though intended to warn Lisanna to be careful and not be affected by the commotion caused by Mira receiving the Demon Blade Curse, somehow came out with a different meaning.

Perhaps, it's all Lisanna's fault!

Seeing Lisanna and Elfman walk out of the valley, Mira exhaled and placed her hand on the Dojigiri under Hughes's buttocks.

One second, two seconds...

Mira suddenly opened her eyes, her captivating gaze blinking at Hughes. The two were so close that Hughes could see his reflection in her light blue pupils.

Hughes paused for a moment, then turned to look at Mira again.

Wow, that profile is really handsome!

"You've learned it?" Hughes asked softly after finishing his self-admiration.

Mira's heart raced slightly, and she nodded gently in response, her ear tips turning a faint red.

Why did Hughes look at me like that? I'm so embarrassed!
