With the order to slay the Beast King in hand, Mira went downstairs and found Makarov.
Makarov took Mira's request and glanced at it. His gaze gradually turned serious as he said in a serious tone, "Mira, this mission is still a bit too early for you. You …"
"Alright! President! I'm leaving! "
Mira interrupted Makarov, snatched the mission slip, and ran out of the guild.
Makarov stood up and shouted at Mira's back, "Hey! Mira, wait! "
Makarov sighed as he watched Mira run out without looking back. Judging from his experience, it was indeed a little too early for Mira, who had just been promoted to Rank S, to accept this mission.
Laxas or Mystergang would not have a problem. Even Elusa might be able to barely complete it, but Mira would be in danger.
"Don't worry, President."
At this moment, Maple Night's voice sounded from the side.
Makarov turned his head and saw Maple Night walking down from the second floor. He ordered a glass of fruit juice from the bar counter and looked in the direction Mira had left.
Maple Night smiled faintly. "Last year, I already thought that Mira wasn't steady enough to advance to S rank. This year, she's actually still lacking a little. I didn't expect you to let her pass. I think she needs to experience something in order to truly grow."
"That may be so, but …"
Makarov naturally understood what Maples meant, but his expression was still a little grave. After all, Mira might encounter a very serious crisis that could even endanger her life.
Maples smiled. "I know what you're worried about, President. Don't worry, I'll secretly watch over her. There won't be any big problems."
"Oh, then I'm relieved."
Makarov was relieved. Maples' words made him feel relieved.
With Maples secretly watching over Mira, there wouldn't be any big problems. It was obviously a good thing to let Mira suffer a little and realize her shortcomings.
Maple Night emptied his glass of juice and left the guild. His figure gradually faded into the air before disappearing from sight.
… …
Walking out of the guild, Mira quickly found her sister Lisana and brother Elfman.
Although she was confident that she didn't need any help in the crusade against the Beast King, she considered that if Elfman could obtain the Beast King's Soul, it would greatly increase his strength.
Out of the thought of taking care of her younger siblings, Mira felt that it was better to bring Elfman and Lisana along. After all, she was already an S-rank sorcerer and had the ability to take care of her younger siblings.
However.
Maple Night, who was hiding in the dark, shook his head slightly.
If Mira were to carry out this mission on her own, then even if she discovered that she was no match for the Beast King, she would still be able to escape unscathed.
However, things were different with Elfman and Lisana. Elfman and Lisana were only average in strength and wouldn't be of much use against the beast king. They might even become a burden.
"Without absolute strength, it is indeed not a good thing to be so confident."
Maples murmured.
He had taken Elusa and Mira on missions before. He had even taken the two of them, as well as Jubia, Wendy, and Lisana, for a total of six people to carry out SS-rank missions.
However, the reason he dared to do so was because he had absolute strength. Not to mention SS-rank missions, even if it was a hundred-year mission, he could still easily pass it with his younger sister.
The ease at that time might have given Mira an illusion.
She mistakenly thought that after being promoted to an S-rank sorcerer, she had the qualifications and ability to casually take people on S-rank missions. However, in reality, that wasn't the case. She had to be stronger.
Every bit of strength was obtained through hard work. Mira's hard work was far inferior to his, so naturally, she didn't have the strength to settle everything.
… 2018
A few days later.
Mira brought Elfman and Lisana all the way to the forest where the Orc King was located according to the S-rank mission.
Although Elfman and Lisana were serious about this mission, they didn't feel that it was dangerous. In their eyes, Mira, who had been promoted to an S-rank sorcerer, should be able to handle this kind of mission easily.
They had absolute trust in their sister who had always been protecting them.
"Roar!"
Just as Mira and the rest entered the Beast King's territory, the Beast King sensed their arrival and let out a roar, walking out of the forest.
A surge of mana surged from its body, not inferior to Mira's in the slightest. Every step it took caused the nearby ground to tremble.
"This mana … is so strong."
Mira felt the Beast King's power and was slightly shocked. However, she still had a certain level of confidence in her own strength, so she let out a low roar and burst forth with her own mana.
"Receive, Satan's Soul!"
Mira transformed into the form of the demon Satan, her body bursting with dark mana. She flew into the air and began to fight with the Beast King.
Lisana and Elfman, who had originally intended to help Mira, felt the terrifying power erupting from the collision between Mira and the Beast King and couldn't help but show a little fear.
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Clearly, this scene was a little beyond their expectations. It wasn't Mira suppressing the Beast King at all, but both sides were evenly matched, and the Beast King even had the upper hand!
Furthermore, the terrifying mana that erupted from the Beast King made it seem like she and Elfman didn't have the qualifications to intervene at all. Not to mention going up to help, even getting close would be dangerous!
"So, so strong …"
Lisana's eyes showed a little fear.
Both Elfman and Lisana couldn't help but retreat. Elfman looked at the battle between Mira and the Beast King and said nervously, "Sister will win. You have to believe in her."
Lisana nodded. At this time, she could only believe in Mira.
* Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle between Mira and the Beast King was very intense. The ground constantly trembled and cracked, and the surrounding trees and forests were destroyed one by one.
Mira used all the means she had mastered one by one, but she was still unable to completely defeat the Beast King.
She was indeed very strong and had the standard of an S Rank. When facing an enemy of the same level or slightly weaker, she could use Satan's Soul to gain the upper hand. However, when facing an opponent of a slightly higher level, the situation was completely different from her previous battles!
Her strongest move was also unable to defeat the Beast King!
The total amount of mana she had was also not stronger than the Beast King's!
"If this goes on … This isn't good …"
Mira was no longer as calm as she was at the beginning. Instead, she became a little flustered. She could sense that her mana had decreased to less than a third.
Once her mana was exhausted and she still couldn't defeat the Beast King, she would be in big trouble!
"Super Flash!"
"Dark Torrent!"
"Soul Destroyer!"
Mira began to panic. She mobilized her remaining mana and attacked the Beast King with all her might. Her moves caused some damage to the Beast King, but it wasn't enough to be fatal!
