Fairy Tail: Becoming stronger by spending money.

Caesar is not a stubborn guy. Since he has seen the "death face," although he is curious, he will not be stubborn and fly over.

"It seems that the danger is still quite high. Let's be careful."

Caesar took a deep breath, and the light of take over magic lit up, and a ritual kunai was inserted in place.

After ensuring his retreat, Caesar moved forward into the withered swamp.

Not long after walking, Caesar saw a light black poisonous snake in the gray swamp. It raised its head, its tongue was flicking, and its body was ready to attack.

"Take over, Jiro."

"Deterrence and anesthesia!"

The terrifying breath spread instantly, and the poisonous snake froze in place instantly.

After seeing this, Caesar ignored it.

After all, if there is more blood in the sensitive withered swamp, it may cause the whole withered swamp to riot if you're not careful.

The monsters fighting for their mates will be even more dangerous.

So, it's good now.

Deterrent anesthesia does not consume much energy, so if you can pass through without any damage, it would be great!

Moreover, with Coco's vision, Caesar can choose the least dangerous route as much as possible and avoid fighting to the greatest extent.

So in the seemingly dangerous withered swamp, with no toxins and Caesar's cheating, Caesar only encountered five monsters on his way through.

Relying on deterrent anesthesia, Caesar came to the depths of the withered swamp without any damage.

But just after arriving here, Caesar stopped.

Because in his sight, the electromagnetic waves on all the roads ahead showed "death signs," though the strength varied.

"It's troublesome. It seems that I can only force my way in."

Caesar sighed, left a spell kunai in the original place, and chose a road with fewer "death signs."

And not long after Caesar walked, he heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

With the blessing of super vision, Caesar had already discovered the flying insects floating on the surface of the swamp thousands of meters away.

"Hiss. Magic-sucking mosquitoes! So many?"

Caesar looked at the almost trillions of magic-sucking mosquitoes in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

Magic-sucking mosquitoes are like regular mosquitoes, but instead of blood, they absorb magic power.

Although the magic power absorbed by one mosquito is not much, what about 10 million? What about tens of billions? What about several trillion?

Not to mention the density of them—if a wizard dares to go in, the mosquitoes will instantly drain their magic power!

Moreover, magic-sucking mosquitoes can transmit a virus known as magic-deficiency syndrome. If treatment isn't timely, the wizard could become useless for life.

It can be said that these tiny things are among the most dangerous monsters known to wizards.

Of course, individually, they're very weak.

So weak that even ordinary people could slap them to death—but it doesn't matter when they swarm together.

"No wonder it's a [Death Sign]. With so many of them, anyone would die going in!"

Caesar sighed helplessly. "The lifespan of a magic-sucking mosquito is only two months at most. They die after mating. The larvae have no killing power, but time waits for no one!"

At this moment, Caesar realized the true difficulty of this S-class commission.

The blooming period of the Thunder Marsh Flower overlaps with the active period of the magic-sucking mosquitoes.

So who would dare go in during this time?

By the time the mosquitoes die, the Thunder Marsh Flowers are done blooming.

It's so annoying!

"It doesn't work in heaven or on earth, so we have to go underground!"

Caesar thought quickly and came up with a solution.

As for putting up a shield to resist? Impossible.

Shields are made of energy. In the eyes of the magic-sucking mosquitoes, that's just a buffet brought to their doorstep.

"If I dig a hole and move forward... it should be the Earth Dragon Hidden Technique from Earth Release."

Caesar searched through his alternative cards and quickly found a Kakashi card.

"I hope this works. After all, we're copy ninjas."

Caesar used the Kakashi card and quickly sensed the ninjutsu it held. Sure enough, he found the Earth Dragon Hidden Jutsu.

His hands quickly formed seals, and the ground beneath his feet softened. Caesar's body sank downward.

Magic power replaced chakra and turned the surrounding ground into sand. Caesar relied on ninjutsu and moved forward rapidly.

But underground, Coco's eyes were no longer helpful. They couldn't accurately judge the electromagnetic wave situation.

Caesar had to move as fast as possible in a straight line based on earlier observations.

After moving about a thousand meters, he felt it was far enough, then slowly emerged from the ground.

"Buzz buzz."

As soon as he surfaced, the magic-sucking mosquitoes swarmed down, startling Caesar.

Luckily, he returned underground just in time. Facing solid ground, the mosquitoes were helpless, unable to penetrate to absorb magic power.

That brief exposure gave Caesar a new line of sight and direction.

He adjusted and continued forward.

After doing this four times, when Caesar surfaced for the fifth time, he realized he'd left the mosquito-infested area.

Slowly crawling out of the ground, Caesar let out a long breath.

In such a short period, nearly one-third of his magic power had been consumed.

No wonder Kakashi doesn't use this move often—he's always low on energy!

After escaping the most dangerous zone, Caesar's journey became much smoother thanks to Coco's vision.

During this stretch, he encountered a few lone monsters rushing up to die. Caesar quickly killed and froze them without making any noise.

Eventually, he arrived in front of Thunder Marsh.

The Kakashi card faded away. Looking at the lightning flashing blue and white ahead, Caesar knelt and used take over again. A scar appeared at the corner of his eye.

As the transformation completed, Caesar cautiously reached into the marsh.

The water temperature was 40°C, and the flow was decent.

Seeing he wasn't hurt, Caesar laughed. "Sure enough, rubber is non-conductive. Natural counter to a thunder marsh!"

"Plop!"

With a leap, Caesar dove into the thunder marsh. He used it like a hot spring and swam around. After finding that it was safe, he dove deeper.

At the bottom, Caesar quickly spotted the vegetation growing there.

The clumps of plants had sprouted buds but hadn't yet bloomed.

They continued absorbing the thunder elements in the marsh, growing slowly and quietly.

Only when they were fully charged with thunder magic would they bloom.

You had to wait for the exact moment of bloom, pluck them instantly, and seal the break with magic to preserve the Thunder Marsh Flowers.

Otherwise, they'd only bloom for a short three minutes.
