Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Lin Yu did not seem too bothered by the threat which the thief used at him, instead, he pushed the sword close enough such that Brother Du's eyes ended up zeroing in on the tip of the sword which made him look as if he was cross-eyed.

" I do not have any problem with that but do you think anyone will come to save you? And in case they did end up coming to save you, who do you think will be faster? Your saviour or…." He used the tip of the sword which was an inch away from the forehead of the man who was kneeling on the floor to push the man such that he was lying on the floor trying to get away from the sword.

" Or my sword?" Lin Yu further asked as he shoved the sword right against the forehead of Brother Du which made him gasp in fright as he screamed, " Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can be very useful to you!"

The man screamed he was truly scared this time and no longer dare to act up, if this man who was holding a sword in front of him really made a move, he was worried that he will not be able to keep his life which was why he immediately screamed and begged for mercy.

" Oh, how so?" Lin Yu asked as he did not pull the sword away from Brother Du's enlarged forehead. " How are you going to be of use to me? Are you going to let me skin you and sell your bones to the black market or what? I heard there are few officials who enjoy eating human meat secretly having lived on the battlefield for a long time."

Brother Du shivered, he knew he had kicked an iron plate this time which was why he did not dare to act up and very honestly said, " I... I have something which you cannot find in this land, this was something that I stole from a traveller and is very useful. If you kill me then you will not find such a thing ever again."

As he spoke he thought about the stock of black balls that he had stolen from the traveller, he was a man who came up with the bizarre idea of something which he called 'fireworks', the fireworks that he made exploded and shot hot sparks which caused anyone's hands to burn. And what was more it was an amazing thing to use at a long-term distance as well, Brother Du stole the fireworks from the traveller after making sure that he was cleanly 'dealt with', he had no idea what the so call fire works were but after torturing the traveller he was able to find an answer.

When Brother Du saw how useful that thing was he immediately took it all to himself and because he was worried that the traveller whose head was filled with all sorts of bizarre ideas will come after him because he made him suffer, he killed him at once.

After he got his hands on the fireworks, instead of selling them, he discarded the fancy outside and then made the black balls which he used to threaten the traveller before robbing them.

The black balls worked their wonder and he never had to suffer ever in these past three months, who would have thought that just for the sake of tasting a beauty, he ended up falling in the hands of these devils?

Brother Du wanted to cry but he did not dare to cry, he could only lower his head and hope that these two men will leave him alone.

When Lin Chen and Lin Yu heard that there was something 'unique' in the hand of the robber, they were immediately interested which was why Lin Chen looked at the fat man and asked, " What is this interesting thing that you speak of?"

" I … I will give it all to you but you have to promise me that you will let me go." Brother Du might be a fool but he did not have water in his head, he knew that if he gave the black balls away he will be killed by these people. Which was why he had to leave a way out for himself.

Lin Chen exchanged a look with Lin Yu who nodded his head before turning to look at the thief who was haggling with them and said, " Sure, if this thing of yours satisfies us, we will let you go."

 " It...It will definitely satisfy you," said Brother Du as he asked Chi Jia to take out the black balls from his pockets and then turned to look at Lin Yu and Lin Chen who were holding the balls and explained, " This is something that I came up with, this is different from the fireworks which are sold in the market, they only explode and make a lot of noise and what's more they do not have a wide range but this is different, it has a lot of range and can go as far as the sky. What's more, it's really hot and can cause a lot of damage."

Lin Chen looked at the black balls as he tossed them up and down, he looked at Lin Yu who was staring at the black balls with a thoughtful look in his eyes, he stared at the black balls for a long time and then asked Chi Jia to bring him a match stick, something which Chi Jia did in a jiffy.

The three of them watched Lin Chen ignite the black ball and then threw it in the air and true to what Brother Du said the black ball did reach up to the sky with a loud bang which almost caused the ones who were sleeping inside the inn to wake up but fortunately, they were tired and after turning around, they went back to sleep only Su Wan came to see what was happening and when she saw the shimmering fireworks which were lighting up the sky she could not help but be shocked.

What was this? Someone came up with the idea of making sky fireworks in this land.

While Su Wan was shocked Lin Yu and Lin Chen had gotten over their shock and they turned to look at Brother Du who was staring at them with a proud face but he couldn't stay proud for long as Lin

Chen said, " Now what is the procedure of making this thing?"
