Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Lives were leaking, the ice was getting darker and stronger, suppressing any resistance! No matter how the dark magician tried, he could not force the parasites to act.

Those familiar with the magic of the Ice Coffin may have noticed some similarities with this spell. In fact, and Aidan knew it, he just killed the people inside by turning them into ice at the cellular level. Only unlike the ice coffin, he could do it without sacrificing his own life. The Ice God Slayer was able to control ice and cold on a completely different level - surpassing ordinary people at times! That is why, Aidan sharply extended all his fingers, opened his eyes and bit his lip, clenching his fists with all his might. At the same second, located on the upper part of the lighthouse, the Dark Wizard in a black robe trembled sharply and spat out blood. His pale face was completely white, he forcefully suppressed the worms wriggling inside his palm:

- Bastard! What kind of magic is this ?! What the heck?! - to be expected, all his puppets were instantly killed. The connection with each parasite was cut off at one moment, from which not a weak recoil flooded the body of the magician. Just two steps, they had to take two fucking steps! Catch the arriving guests, or die with them, as befits a pitiful slave. But even with this, they did not cope!

Meanwhile, all the people who turned into ice sculptures began to split. Aidan exhaled heavily and waved his hand. All deeply dark ice immediately crumbled in the wind, its blue reflections played in the dim light of the sun, barely sparkling from the dense fog. All lives turned to cold ice and just crumbled. As if a mirror shattered into millions of fragments, they simply disappeared without a trace.

Aidan coughed and fell to one knee.

Damn ... This spell is damn expensive, I haven't often suffered from such exhaustion. This is not good. Brains nearly melted. Even if it's not Ice Coffin, this method of killing is still not easy. "

- Aidan! Erza snapped off as soon as her moment of shock and the icy fog cleared away. Even Mira followed her.

"Y-are you okay?" The scarlet-haired woman asked worriedly.

- I'll be right now, - rising, the guy sighed and looked at this beautiful couple:

"I hope you don't think about it a lot?" They are just puppets, if I had not killed them, this magician at the lighthouse would have blown everyone up and we would have had a hard time.

Without giving them time to reply, Aidan turned his gaze to the lighthouse.

- The rest are on the way ...

- The rest? Erza tightened her grip on the blade, unleashing a stream of powerful magic. Ice flashed in her eyes and she menacingly asked:

- How many are there?

"It doesn't matter how much," Mira snorted, while her body changed slightly: her hands turned into clawed paws, and a pair of demonic wings grew behind her back, even a long black vein appeared on her face, right next to her eye. She managed to develop her demonic form so quickly! Even if it was not complete, this is absolutely not the level that she demonstrated in the past. Erza was not the only one who became stronger.

Even Aidan was surprised that the girl only smiled proudly:

- I trained!

- Me too, - Erza nodded with a decisive expression: - Now I will fight too!

Noticing their determination, Aidan turned to the lighthouse and spoke gloomily.

- There are several hundred of them. This loss only barely hurt the enemy, now he is ready for losses. In addition, he stores the main supply of parasites in a strange place. I feel many lives, but I will not say for sure which of them is dangerous for us, everything is confused ... At least half of them are moving. Their emotions are confused, from such a distance I can't understand for sure. But they are all afraid ... This dark magician still controls them. Now, you should prepare yourself for the fact that I will not be so lenient with your psyche. I can no longer freeze them, the only way to defeat them is to chop off their heads, the places where the worm lodged. If you can't, just wait here, I'll figure it out.

- No, - Erza took a step forward: - I'm coming with you!

- And I! - Mira nodded: - This is our common task. If you need to kill them, then ... So we will kill them.

Aidan sighed and shook his head.

- All wrong. They are still alive - they are people who are forced to attack us, they are no more cannon fodder, mostly undeserving of such a fate. In the end they will die anyway, but killing monsters is not the same as killing people. Do you understand?

"I ..." Erza frowned. "And there is no other way out?"

Aidan concentrated and sensing this army already a hundred meters away from him, slowly shook his head:

"They will be waiting for us on the shore. This mage is not a fool - he did not send them to the slaughter, but if we attack, he will most likely do something dangerous. That worm that I killed in front of your eyes should have exploded and sprayed that poisonous liquid. To put it simply, all those people are just bombs that will definitely detonate when we arrive. Now I can see that the unit is still locked in one place in the basement of the lighthouse, which means there is still someone to save there.

"Damn, if I had sleep magic, I could temporarily deal with Erza and Mira" - Aidan just mentally sighed. This situation was not like the typical Fairy Tail problem where everyone could be saved by the power of friendship. Here you had to kill people or let them kill you. It was possible to retreat, but then the situation can go in an indefinite way. A magician can kill all prisoners in general and do something dangerous. The task only required to deal with the situation at the lighthouse and understand what happened, but just killing everyone is not an option. True, Aidan was more worried about the fact that his friends would have to get blood on their hands. He could not let this wizard leave, but interfering with them was no longer an option.

- There is no other way out, - the guy replied gloomily: - We will have to chop down still living people who will certainly not want to die. It is important to chop off their heads vertically in order to kill the worm for sure. Therefore, you must stay, I have a way to solve everything myself.

- What?! N-no, we're coming with you! - The girls exclaimed almost in one voice. Aidan just chuckled, realizing that they were simply not aware of the situation. They can be at least "SS" rank wizards, but this does not mean that to kill others you need to be a strong magician. On the contrary, it is not quite strength that is needed to kill. Although this task was supposed to be different, funny and interesting, in the circle of friends, it all turned out that Aidan had to solve everything himself. He wanted to keep their innocent smiles and the purity of the guild.

Turning around, he smiled wryly.

"Anyway, I think we've been through a lot already." After a short nod, the guy said:

- We need reinforcements, go to the guild for help. I will wait here and watch the actions of the enemy.

- What? But why? You said ... - Mirajane tried to understand, but Aidan immediately replied:

"They won't dare attack the Ice Wizard in the Water. Plus, I don't have much stock left. I will recuperate for now, and you go to the guild. We cannot let the enemy leave the lighthouse. Tell the Master that here a dark magician is experimenting on humans. Knowing the old man, he will think of something. Perhaps the rune knights or someone else will come here. This case violates the highest magical law, so they must intervene.

Mira frowned, realizing that Aidan was just going to get them off. But, she couldn't argue, especially noticing Erza's expression of reluctance. Even if they really wanted to help, now it was too difficult ... They still doubted killing people. How in general, at thirteen years old, can you decide on a massacre? They never killed and when faced with this face to face, their desire and determination immediately turned into something opposite and oppressive. They were incapable of shedding blood ... This is the S-class mission - they don't belong here ...
