Kingdom of Fiore, Shadow Forest.
The Shadow Forest is dark and quiet all year round, but at this time it is raining lightly, making the forest even darker.
Deep in the forest, there were bursts of fighting sounds.
This is Mirajane's S-level mission: to defeat the Beast King. She originally wanted to use this mission to choose a powerful receiving creature for her brother to effectively improve Elfman's strength, but at the moment of the fight, , she found that she had overestimated herself.
There was a loud noise, and the demonic Mirajane was knocked away. She slid on the ground for a distance, panting heavily and looking at the Beast King in front of her.
This is a beast king with huge horns, crimson arms, strong feet like eagle claws, cyan skin on the chest, and a mouth full of fangs. And based on Mirajane's encounter with it just now, this possibility He is also the strongest king among the tribe.
Mirajane underestimated the intelligence of this beast king. According to Mirajane's strength, even if she was defeated, she would not be beaten to the point of being unable to fight back. This was because the beast king did not engage in a direct confrontation with her.
Instead, they constantly attacked Lisanna and Elfman who were behind Mirajane, leaving Mirajane to passively accept the Beastmaster's attacks without being able to fight back.
The light rain from the sky fell on her head and flowed down. I don't know if it was her sweat, tears or rain. Mirajane felt extremely regretful at this moment.
She regretted not investigating clearly before challenging this cunning beast king. She regretted bringing her younger brothers and sisters to challenge together. She regretted not listening to Raphael and calling him to join him if he wanted to do this task.
Everything stems from her own arrogance and so-called self-esteem and pride
"ah!"
"elder sister!"
Miraje was once again hit hard by the Beast King and knocked away. This time it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Miraje could no longer maintain her demonic form and exited the demonic form.
"Damn Beast King, I won't allow you to bully my sister, whole body reception·Black Bear!"Elfman roared with red eyes and rushed forward, transforming into a two-meter-tall black bear and planning to wrestle with the Beast King.
"Don't go over there, Brother Elfman, come back soon!"
"don't want! Danger! Elfman!"
However, although Mirajane has been passively defending, it has also severely exhausted the Beast King. Elfman rushed over and knocked it down.
"You bastard, how dare you hurt my sisters, I won't let you hurt them again! take over! Elfman pounced directly on him, released the whole-body reception, and then used the reception magic with all his strength. He actually succeeded in receiving the Beast King.
But before Elfman had time to be happy, the violent magic power of the Beast King instantly filled his body. Exploded.
Elfman uncontrollably completed the transformation into a beastman.
""Ah~"
Elfman completely lost control, his eyes instantly filled with beast-like scarlet, and he roared madly at Mirajane who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and unable to get up, and leaned forward slightly, ready to sprint.
""Elfman, cheer up! Don't be controlled by the Beast King!" Mirajane could do nothing but shout to Elfman, but it was obvious that Elfman, who had lost consciousness, could not hear him at all.
At this moment, Lisanna opened her arms and stood between Elfman and Mirajane, crying loudly:"Brother Elfman, I am Lisanna, please stop."
"don't want! Lisanna, run away, he has lost his mind! Run away!"
Lisanna didn't listen to Mirajane's dissuasion, but just took a step forward, trembling and smiling:"Brother Elfman, what's wrong with you? I am your favorite sister, Lisanna, and behind me is Mirajane, the sister who loves us the most. Even if you forget about us, there are Natsu-san, Raphael-san, and everyone in the guild. Yeah, wake up now!"
"We like Brother Elfman the most. Come on, let's go home together, Brother Elfman!"
"Roar!"
Bang!
Elfman, who had lost his mind, was not moved at all, even because Lisanna took a step forward and hit a small hole on the floor in front of her with a manic palm. The flying stones knocked Lisanna out. scars
"don't want! Lisanna!!!"
Miraj shouted in panic, telling Lisanna to stop moving forward and run away.
At some point, the drizzle of rain turned into a heavy rainstorm, and the already dark and heavy environment became even more... The silence is terrible
"Roar!!!"
Elfman was roaring crazily. He could no longer control the Beast King. The last trace of reason had been completely wiped out.
He raised his palms again, with only bloodlust and murderous intent in his eyes. He wanted to destroy the irritated beast in front of him. Slap the noisy little bug to death
"Brother Elfman...don't..."Lisanna stood firmly in front of Mirajane and tried to wake up Elfman.
"No!!! Run away!!!"
The Beast King's big palm with a scarlet palm wind quickly slapped towards Lisanna
"Lisanna!!!"
Miraje's pupils dilated, and she tried to stand up and save her sister with a hoarse voice.
If she were not so arrogant, if she was not so blind, if she were stronger...
Miraje was blaming herself crazily, blaming crazily. She could only helplessly watch her sister die in front of her eyes.
At this moment, the Beast King flew backwards uncontrollably while vomiting blood as if he had been hit hard. , knocked down several big trees and fell to the ground unconscious.
The power that roared the Beast King away also dispersed all the dark and heavy clouds, and a ray of sunlight fell down, hitting Lisanna standing in front of him. The boy who was still maintaining his punching posture seemed to be covered with a golden coat.��
It's Raphael!
Mirajane saw Raphael's figure and saw that Lisanna was finally saved. She relaxed immediately, and then her eyes went dark and she passed out.
"Sister!"Lisanna heard the voice behind her and rushed over to hug Mirajane, tears streaming down her face.
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Raphael!"
Raphael waved his hands, sighed and said,"Finally I made it in time. I told your sister to tell me if she accepted this task and come to help. If I hadn't just finished the task and returned to the guild and didn't see you and asked the president, I would have known that you were doing this task. Otherwise, you would have been killed by your arrogant sister."
Although Raphael knew that Lisanna was just sucked into another world, but with the addition of him, who knew if it would be the same as in the original book? What if she really died this time? So he had been paying attention to this matter, and fortunately he arrived in time.
After a brief treatment by Lisanna, Mirajane woke up and heard what Raphael said. She was silent for a long time, then hugged Lisanna madly and cried loudly,"I'm sorry, Lisanna, I was wrong, I shouldn't be so blindly arrogant, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, sister, I know you do it for our own good, I understand."Lisanna comforted her sister while stroking her back.
Mirajane cried for a while before she stood up from her sister's arms in embarrassment. The two sisters bowed to Raphael and said,"Thank you. Raphael, thank you for your rescue. If it weren't for you, I would have lost Lisanna. If I lost her, I don't know what I would do...."
Raphael shook his head and said,"You're welcome. We are from the same guild. We are partners and family. If a family member is in trouble, I think everyone will help. In fact, Natsu and Gray know about your situation and want to come and help. It's just that I am more suitable.""
"Come on, go back and say hello to your guildmates, they are worried about you."Raphael carried Elfman, who had withdrawn from the Beast King transformation, and called Mirajane and Lisanna on their way back.
"Okay~" Lisana said sweetly,"Sister, let's go home!"
"Yeah."
When they were about to walk to the door of the guild, they were surprised to find that everyone in the guild was waiting for them outside the door.
"Look, look, they are back!"
"Are you okay?"
Everyone gathered around Mirajane and the others and chirped with concern.
Rebby even immediately used word magic to give them preliminary treatment.
Mirajane and Lisanna looked at the people who cared about them, with tears in their eyes, and they said happily:"It's okay, we're okay. Thank you for your concern. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Why are you talking about this? We are a family. Just be fine!"Makao and Wakaba said in unison.
"It looks like Elfman has gotten stronger. I will definitely challenge him when he gets better!"Natsu showed special concern.
"I'm glad you're okay, otherwise there will be no one to fight with me." Erza said with a smile
"Okay, okay, everyone should go back to the guild and don't disturb their healing."Raphael said to everyone
"Yes, then let's have a party to celebrate their safe return!" Makarov said loudly.
""Good!!!"
Everyone surrounded Mirajane and entered the guild happily. Mirajane looked at everyone's smiles and the care they showed from the bottom of their hearts. She made up her mind to change herself and not let the people around her get hurt because of herself.
Then she looked at Raphael in front of her and secretly said in her heart:
Thank you, my great hero, Raphael.
