Mira suddenly calls Ben saying that she has finished her task already. It's only been a few hours since she told him she would take care of Avatar's Mikage Branch herself. Ben thought she would finish it in the evening at best, but this is still afternoon.
"You're done already?" asks Ben through the comm device that looks like a smartphone.
This is a variation of Comm Lacrima that Ben made like a smartphone. It has the basic functions to communicate like sending messages, voice calls, and video calls. There's also a feature to save other devices' IDs, like phone contacts, so it's very simple to use.
Ben made this device a while back and tried to sell it. The sales were bad at first, but it gets better after people started knowing it. It's very simple and even normal people can use it, so it became popular.
But he only has 1 factory now, so he can't produce a lot and fulfill the demand. Many businessmen have approached him to work with him on the phone. But he still can't find anyone decent and trustworthy, so he refused them all.
Anyway, Mira called him on her phone and told him she has finished the job. She has wiped out Mikage Branch in just a few hours. That branch is known to be filled with Avatar's elite Mages, but it seems they are too weak for Mira.
~A Few Hours Ago~
Mira arrived at Avatar's Mikage branch quite fast after deciding to attack it. She knew the location of their hideout already, so it was easy to find it. Then without even asking, Mira breached the branch building, alerting everyone inside.
All 7 of Mikage Branch's members go to the entrance to see the one who dares to attack them. They are surprised when the one coming is just one person. But they get serious immediately when they realize the identity of the intruder.
"You are Fairy Tail's Demon, Mirajane Strauss!" says the man with a Priest attire, Alok, in surprise.
"So you know me. This will make it easy then," says Mira while smiling kindly.
"Fairy Tail, it's you guys that have attacked our branches on Fiore. Of course, you are also targeting this place. But aren't you being too confident now? We are different from the other branches you've faced so far," says the red-haired girl, Mary.
Mira just keeps smiling and says, "I know, that's why I came here. I hope you guys will give me more challenge than those other guys."
The Dark Mages get agitated by what Mira said because she is really looking down on them. Mira's power isn't that well known because she rarely shows it in public, especially after she gave birth. Only Fairy Tail Mages have ever seen her full power and all Fairies know she is even stronger than Gildarts now.
"My babies are waiting for me back home, so I won't waste time with you guys. Let's finish this fast," says Mira while transforming into her new form, Mirajane Seilah.
The Dark Mages get ready to fight her and prepare their magic. However, their bodies suddenly stop moving and they can't move their bodies at all.
"W-what happens?" asks Jerome in surprise as he tries to move his body to no avail.
"I told you, didn't I? This will end fast, and I really meant it. The best way to fight is by not giving your opponent any chance to attack," says Mira who has his hands raised in front of her.
Mira is using Seilah's Macro ability to control the Dark Mages' bodies. Her magic power is much higher than theirs and they are unfamiliar with Curse power. So the Dark Mages can't retaliate at all because Mira's Macro is very strong.
The Dark Mages are truly in shock now because they've never experienced this. Now when they finally focus more on Mira, they can sense her massive magic power. They never felt this level of magic power their entire lives.
These Dark Mages aren't that strong actually. At least compared to Fairy Tail Mages, especially an S-Class Mage like Mira who is also the 2nd strongest in Fairy Tail. She is at the level of a Wizard Saint, after all, so they never stood any chance from the beginning.
Mira raises her left hand and an eye appears there. She then says, "You know, I didn't know why my husband was always obsessed with speed. But now I understand it. Winning battles will be easier if you are fast and attack your opponents before they can even attack you. He is right, it is so easy to win like this. I don't even need to know your magic. I'll win as long as you can't even use it."
A blue energy sphere appears in Mira's left hand that has an eye on it. Then she shoots it toward the Dark Mages. A massive blue blast of energy gets shot from Mira's left hand and engulfed all 7 Dark Mages at once.
The energy blast is so strong it destroys the whole building and the forest trees on its path. It's very big that even big buildings will be engulfed easily by it. So the path of destruction in the forest is also very big.
Mira's attack stopped after a while and almost everything in front of her has gone. The only things left are the 7 Dark Mages who have been damaged greatly. They look like they get burnt and they all have lost consciousness, so they fall to the ground.
Just one attack from Mira is enough to defeat these 7 Dark Mages who are said to be the elites of Avatar. She even held back on that attack because she didn't want to kill them. Ben asked her to keep them alive because they can provide information about Avatar and Zered worshippers.
~Present Time~
Ben grins after hearing Mira's story of how she defeated the Mikage Branch's Dark Mages. He is very proud of her because she acted very fast and didn't hesitate to take over the fight from the start. Her goal was just to win, so she did the best thing to get it.
Although he knows that this strategy was only possible because she was far superior than her opponents. Her new ability that allowed her to attack almost in an instant without any sign also helped because she is not a speed bases Mage, so it's hard for her to make a fast surprise attack.
If it was Ben, he would use his Light Magic to move very fast and take them all out. But Mira doesn't have that speed, so she immobilized them which gav e her the chance to attack them without their retaliation. The principle of this strategy is to attack while your opponents can't attack, after all, so her method is not wrong.
"You've done well, love. An effective and efficient strategy made based on your abilities. You have grown a lot, I'm very impressed," says Ben while smiling.
"They are fine. Asuka keeps playing with them and they really enjoy it. They asked about you quite often though," says Ben.
"Alright, I trust you, but always be careful. We never know what we might face," says Ben.
asks Mira.
"Good, I've just finished it. It is ready to be used, but we'll start using it tomorrow because I still need to make the rules when using that facility for training," says Ben.
says Mira.
"With your power, the dungeon will be boring on the lower floors. But I'm sure it will be very challenging on the high floors," says Ben.
"I love you too, see you at home," says Ben before they close the call.
Ben then calls Draculos to tell the old man who now becomes Magic Council's chairman about Fiore's Avatar Branches' destructions. There are still a few left, but it can be said that the Avatar is over in Fiore. Now, they just need to destroy the ones in other countries.
