Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 392: Your Opponents Are Not Humans, but a Group of Dragons!Chapter 393: The Fairies Were Not Found, but a Nest of Dragons Was Found

Yes, this wave looked like Larcade was on the second layer and August was on the first layer, but in reality, August was in the atmosphere!

As for Larcade constantly shouting about attacking Ishgar and waging war against Ishgar! Although August had been verbally persuading Larcade all along, in reality, August wanted Larcade to attack Ishgar more than anyone! This fight had to happen! And Larcade had to bring all the main war faction members who were shouting about attacking Ishgar together with him!

Because August knew that only like this could Larcade and the others understand one thing. Before Fairy Tail, their Alvarez Empire was the weak side!

Yes, August wished very much that Larcade and the others would attack the continent of Ishgar! With people like Larcade, this group of rotten fish and shrimp, it would be strange if they could capture Fairy Tail! Let alone this group of rotten fish and shrimp like Larcade, even if he, Magic King August, personally made a move, he still could not take down the current Fairy Tail!

Moreover, strictly speaking, he, Magic King August, was now also a member of Fairy Tail Guild. And not an ordinary member either. He was Fairy Tail Guildʼs acting Guild Master…

So no matter what tricks Larcade and the others played, no matter what attack route they thought up, they absolutely could not defeat the current Fairy Tail. This was what he, Magic King August, said…

As long as Irene, Selene, and Evan, these three dragons, as well as he, Magic King August, were still inside Fairy Tail Guild, his mother was the safest person in this world. Even if the Black Dragon King Acnologia suddenly went crazy and came to attack their Fairy Tail, he would have to take two big slaps before he could leave…

And the reason August went to this meeting and argued with the main war faction led by Larcade and the others for three days and three nights was mainly because he wanted to remove himself from this war.

In that case, next, no matter what Larcade and the others did, and no matter what happened in the end, even if Larcade gathered the power of the whole empire to crusade against Acnologia, it would have nothing to do with him, Magic King August!

And next, now that he seemed to have been angered out of the meeting room by Larcade, August could finally properly arrange the plot of this great war behind the scenes as the director!

The movie ”Alvarez Empire Against the Continent of Ishgar,” directed by August, written by Evan Belserion!

August had already designed the plot of this annual grand show for Larcade and the others. Next, what Larcade and the others would face would be despair and failure!

After the war, Larcade would definitely have to be taken out to take the blame. At that time, even if Larcade possessed the name Dragneel, he would have no face to continue opposing him. Most importantly, the Spriggan 12 would also know who the person truly capable of leading this empire toward the light was…

In other words, not long from now, the Alvarez Empire would completely fall under his, Augustʼs, control. At that time, he, August, could use his identity as the regent king of the Alvarez Empire and acting Guild Master of the Mage Guild Fairy Tail to properly serve as the middleman and harmonize the relationship between the Alvarez Empire and Fairy Tail!

At the same time, he would think of a way to matchmake his father and mother again…

”Sigh…”

The moment August thought of the grudges and entanglements between his father, the Black Mage Zeref, and his mother Mavis, he could not help sighing. In Augustʼs view, harmonizing the relationship between his parents was more troublesome than plotting for the authority of the Alvarez Empire, scheming against Larcade, making Larcade and the others fall into the full set, and ultimately forcing Larcade down from power…

”The responsibility is heavy and the road is long, the responsibility is heavy and the road is long!”

Thinking this, August helplessly sighed. As he spoke, Augustʼs figure completely disappeared from the Alvarez Empire.

At the same time, on the continent of Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia Town, inside Fairy Tail Guild…

”Evan, I have come!”

August, who had originally still been in the Alvarez Empire, did not care about the loss of magic power at all and directly used ultra-long-distance Teleportation Magic, teleporting himself extremely precisely into Fairy Tail Guild.

When August entered Fairy Tail Guild, he discovered that Evan had already been sitting at the bar counter, seeming to have respectfully awaited August for a long time…

August did not hesitate and directly sat beside Evan, greeting Evan.

”You came, August.”

Evan looked at the arriving August and was not surprised. After all, the reason he was sitting at the bar counter and quietly waiting was precisely because he had received the message August had sent him.

”Mm…”

”It looks like you have already received the intelligence I gave you.”

”I imagine it will not be long before the Alvarez Empireʼs army attacks the continent of Ishgar! With the Alvarez Empireʼs magic warships, I estimate it will only take one or two days. They will soon arrive near the continent of Ishgar…”

”In other words, the war is about to begin. I wonder what preparations you have, Evan?”

August sat beside Evan and asked Evan.

”You can rest assured on that point. Regarding the Alvarez Empireʼs sudden attack against our continent of Ishgar, I already thought of a method to handle it long ago…”

After hearing Augustʼs words, Evan lightly smiled.

”So what do you plan to do?”

August frowned. Looking at Evanʼs smiling appearance, he immediately felt something was wrong.

August asking Evan whether he had made preparations was only a polite phrase…

With Evanʼs strength, facing Larcade and the others, what need was there to prepare anything? Even if Evan stood there motionless, with the strength of Larcade and the others, they could forget about being able to hurt Evan!

Yet after hearing Augustʼs question, Evan answered seriously that he had indeed prepared…

This made August nervous. He had a premonition that perhaps this great show would develop in a direction he could not predict.

However, when August entrusted this matter to Evan, he had already prepared himself for the war to develop in a direction he could not predict, and even for it to ultimately end according to Fairy Tailʼs handling method!

After all, Evan was a member of Fairy Tail Guild! And he was the most vicious one in Fairy Tailʼs demolition office…

”Speaking of which, in our guild, there are also some people who have not made a move for a long time. Everyoneʼs hands are rather itchy~”

”Let everyone who normally cannot go all out relax a little and stretch their muscles and bones slightly.”

After hearing Augustʼs words, Evan lightly smiled.

”People who normally cannot go all out? Who are you talking about? Donʼt tell me…”

After hearing Evanʼs words, Augustʼs expression instantly changed. He was far too clear about who exactly in Fairy Tail Guild were people who normally could not go all out…

Before August could think further, as Evanʼs voice fell, terrifying magic power instantly enveloped August…

”This is…”

Sensing the magic power behind him, Augustʼs expression changed abruptly. He immediately turned around and looked.

Accompanied by a portal suddenly lighting up, a crimson figure slowly walked into the guild from within that portal, stepping with long, fair legs.

”You are…”

Augustʼs pupils trembled as he looked at the woman before him. He looked at that womanʼs beautiful crimson long hair, full and graceful figure, and gorgeous rose-like cheeks, and his lips immediately dried.

”Senior Irene?”

August politely called the womanʼs name. Because of age and strength, August added the honorific senior to the woman before him.

Of course, aside from this, there was another issue. Not only was the woman before him extremely powerful, her son was also strong like a monster…

”What, did you not guess that I would make a move?”

”No matter what, I was once the queen of a certain country on the continent of Ishgar. Even if it is for the sake of my citizens, I should exert a little strength~”

Ireneʼs gorgeous face carried a smile, and her purple eyes flickered with dangerous light.

”Uh…”

August did not dare refute Ireneʼs words. In the Alvarez Empire on the western continent, he was the Magic King below one person and above all others. Even if someone refused to accept him, they could only hold it in, endure it, and play petty tricks behind his back…

But after arriving at Fairy Tail Guild, he became a junior. After all, in this Mage Guild that looked shabby and was opened in a remote town of the Kingdom of Fiore, there were at least four Mages capable of contending with him, and these four were all stronger than him in actual combat…

”Nothing, nothing…”

”For those brats of the Alvarez Empire to be able to fight you, Senior Irene, is their honor!”

August took out the handkerchief inside his pants pocket and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, August had already imagined the miserable state of Larcade and the others after they arrived on the continent of Ishgar!

When Irene made a move, she was not as gentle as Evan…

At this moment, August could only pray that Irene would consider his face and hold back slightly, not harming the foundation of their Alvarez Empire…

”Buzz~”

Just as Augustʼs heart was trembling, a portal like rippling water suddenly opened beside August. The next second, what entered Augustʼs eyes was also a pair of long, beautiful legs.

Immediately afterward, there was a pair of surging fullness so abundant that the clothes seemed unable to contain it, then a swan-like long neck, and that bewitching face.

”Gulp~”

When August saw this woman before him, his head almost exploded.

August also knew this beautiful woman before him. That womanʼs pale golden long hair, holy moonlight-like temperament, and fox-like seductive face that contrasted greatly with her holy temperament…

Without question, the person before him was precisely…

”I did not expect even Moon Dragon God Selene to come. This truly makes me feel overwhelmed by favor.”

August looked at this beautiful woman before him who was as beautiful as a goddess from the heavens and absolutely not something of the mortal world. He had no mood to appreciate beauty and could only take out his handkerchief, continuously wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, in Augustʼs eyes, the losses of the Alvarez Empire this time would probably have to be increased by several more points…

Fortunately, these were still within the range that he, August, could bear.

”Evan said this was your request. I thought that since it is the request of the guildʼs acting Guild Master, more or less, we should give some face~”

Selene patted Augustʼs shoulder with the appearance of ”This old lady came to help only because of your face, so you owe this old lady a favor.”

With Augustʼs strength, one favor from him was indeed worth Selene making a move. With Augustʼs help, Selene also had greater confidence in completing her plan to eliminate the other Five Dragon Gods.

”I thank you! Evan…”

In response, August looked at Evan and expressed his thanks.

”You thanked too early…”

In response to Augustʼs thanks, Evan only lightly waved his hand.

”Thanked too early?!”

Augustʼs expression shook. He was trying to figure out the meaning of Evanʼs words. What exactly did thanked too early mean?!

”Boom!”

Just as August was stunned, accompanied by a burst of violent magic power…

A figure like a flame monarch walked toward August step by step.

That flame monarch was a middle-aged man with long hair burning like the sun. Its color could not be seen, only blazing light could be seen! He was bare-chested, revealing sturdy muscles, and those muscles were covered in mysterious black patterns. Looking closely, it seemed that a sun was branded on the middle-aged manʼs chest!

”Hiss…”

August looked at the man before him and sucked in a breath of cold air. In the entire Fairy Tail Guild, and even the entire continent of Ishgar, there was only one person in Augustʼs memory who could play Fire Magic to this level, and that was…

”Fire Dragon King Igneel?! Why are you so short?”

August first spoke the name of the person before him. Yes, if August had not guessed incorrectly, this burly man before him should be the Fire Dragon King Igneel residing inside his uncle Natsuʼs body.

However, Igneelʼs appearance was not the thing that shocked August the most. What shocked him the most was that this burly man before him, with a weathered face and resembling a Flame God, was only one meter fifty tall!

In response, August felt shocked inside. In his eyes, Fire Dragon King Igneel should have been a burly man one meter ninety or even two meters tall. This kind of Igneel was clearly not right…

As a result, in the end, August really could not hold back. He looked at this middle-aged man before him who was only one meter fifty tall and looked like a shorty and asked aloud.

”Of course I am not this short! Back when I was in human form, I was also a two-meter-tall burly man. Isnʼt this because Iʼm using my son Natsuʼs body?”

After hearing Augustʼs words, Igneelʼs expression changed, and he angrily refuted.

”You said you are using Natsuʼs body? I see, is it personality Enchantment Magic? Indeed, with Irene and Evanʼs Enchantment Magic, it is indeed enough to use Enchantment Magic on Dragon King-level existences…”

After hearing Igneelʼs explanation, August suddenly understood.

If it was High Enchantment Magic used by Irene and Evan, then it could indeed let Igneel reappear in this world using Natsuʼs body…

Although Igneel borrowing Natsuʼs body was definitely not as strong as his own original body, he was absolutely not an existence those children of the Spriggan 12 could contend with either…

Of course, although Irene and Evanʼs Enchantment Magic could separate and enchant Igneel, it still could not affect Acnologia. Normal Little Black was indeed also a Dragon King-level existence and was not said to exceed this range. If Igneel fought Little Black desperately in close combat, Little Black would also be injured. But the problem was that Little Black, as the Magic Dragon, was almost immune to the magic of existences of the same level…

”So…”

”Evan, donʼt tell me the lineup you prepared to meet the western continent is you, Senior Irene, Lady Selene, and Senior Fire Dragon King Igneel…”

At this moment, August directly widened his eyes. He wanted to ask Evan if this was necessary.

Wasnʼt it just dealing with the Alvarez Empireʼs Spriggan 12 and imperial soldiers?

Was it necessary to play a super bomb of four kings right from the start?

It should not be necessary, right? Honestly speaking, with this lineup Evan produced, August would think Evan was planning to crusade against the Black Dragon Acnologia. And according to Augustʼs speculation, leaving aside the fact that Evan and Irene had all kinds of methods, and Selene, as a spatial dragon, was invincible in escape! As long as Evan, Irene, and Selene wanted to run, no one could catch up…

August assumed Evan, Irene, and Selene were the same as Igneel and intended to fight Acnologia to the death! At that time, even if the Black Dragon Acnologia was completely magic immune, once four Dragon King-level existences desperately fought Little Black in close combat, perhaps even if the invincible Black Dragon King Acnologia ultimately survived, only a torso would remain…

”Of course not…”

Evan looked at August and revealed a kind smile.

”Oh, so it is not!”

Hearing this, August slowly let out a breath.

”Besides me, Irene, Selene, and Igneel, Animus and Kurnugi will also follow us over to take a look. Just treat it as giving those two a bit of special training…”

Just as August let out a breath, Evan looked at August and spoke with a smile.

”Your Majesty Evan!”

”Master…”

”We have come!”

It was also at the moment Evanʼs voice fell that Kurnugi and Animus had already arrived beside Evan.

At this moment, Animus had clearly fused with Sonya in order to fight better…

”Ah, this…”

August fell silent as he looked at Animus and Kurnugi, who were emitting powerful magic power from within their bodies and absolutely possessed adult dragon-level combat power. At this moment, August had nothing to say. So it was not four kings forming a double king bomb, but four kings with two twos?!

Four kings were already very invincible, and Evan still brought two twos.

So what was this wave? This wave was ”This Dragon Is Clearly Very Strong, but Too Cautious…”

August was certain that a novel written with this title would definitely become popular throughout the entire world of Earth-land. No, it should be said that it would become popular across the three worlds of Edolas, Earth-land, and Elentear, becoming the best-selling book in the three worlds…

”Larcade, originally I still disliked you quite a bit. Now I am beginning to sympathize with you…”

”I admit that with the strength of you Spriggan 12, among humans, you are absolutely outstanding! You are strong people standing at the ceiling among humans! But unfortunately, your opponents are fundamentally not humans, but a group of dragons!”

”What direction this war will develop in is already no longer something this old man can control. Perhaps the Alvarez Empire will be destroyed from now on…”

August sighed. He had already seen Larcade and the othersʼ despairing expressions. Perhaps after this battle, there would no longer be anyone in the Alvarez Empire who wanted to attack the continent of Ishgar. Even if Zeref himself, the true emperor of the Alvarez Empire on the western continent, returned and forced the warriors of the western continent empire to participate in the war, no one would participate. This battle would become a lifelong psychological shadow in the hearts of the empireʼs soldiers…

”Since our people have already arrived, letʼs not stand around here blankly! We choose to take the initiative!”

”Then August, weʼre going out to play~”

”You just stay behind and watch the house properly! Remember, absolutely do not let anyone take advantage of the opening and steal our home…”

Evan saw that the people he had summoned had already arrived, so he stood up and patted Augustʼs shoulder.

At the moment when Evan, Irene, Selene, Igneel, Animus, and Kurnugi, these six dragons, left Fairy Tail, it was probably the weakest moment for Fairy Tail. With the combat power remaining inside Fairy Tail Guild, if their home was stolen by a Dragon King-level existence, if the bond cheat did not erupt, then there really was a possibility of being successfully robbed…

In response, Evan firmly patted Augustʼs shoulder. The home was entrusted to him!

As Evan, wearing a trench coat, walked toward Fairy Tail Guildʼs gate, Irene, Selene, Igneel, Animus, and Kurnugi followed closely behind…

For a moment, all members were villains. Ah, no, it should be said that all members were evil dragons!

The false Six Dragon Gods hid on the northern continent of Guiltina. They were either dead and waiting to resurrect, or hypnotized and deceived by humans, no longer wanting to be dragons and wanting to become humans, living happily with humans, embarrassing dragons! Or they had fallen into deep sleep, contributing their bodies to become human cities and provide convenience for humans! Or even their existence was a problem. Whether they existed or not, perhaps even they themselves could not figure it out! Or they upheld their own pride, only intending to fight strong opponents and disdaining to attack humans weaker than themselves. They clearly had not done anything, yet were feared by countless people and called enemies of humanity!

The true Six Dragon Gods infiltrated human society in human form, held high positions among humans, secretly controlled the humans of an entire continent, and deliberately provoked war to satisfy their desire for slaughter! Not only that, they also loved bullying the weak. The moment they heard there was an opportunity to beat up children, they absolutely would not let it pass! Though they had done every bad thing, they were praised by the people of the continent and called heroes of humanity!

Western Continent, Alvarez Empire…

”Gentlemen, advance! Advance toward the distant continent of Ishgar! Everyone, please remember our goal. We are the warriors of the empire, warriors of Emperor Spriggan, subjects of the great Black Mage Zeref! And our goal is only one: crush the continent of Ishgar, obtain victory in war for our emperor, and bring glory to His Majesty!”

Before thousands of warships, Larcade, as the commander-in-chief of this Alvarez Empire attack toward the continent of Ishgar, was emotional and excited. Looking at the soldiers before him, he shouted inspiringly!

And as Larcadeʼs voice fell, his image, the words he spoke, everything, was broadcast to the terminal in every warriorʼs hands, allowing every warrior of the Alvarez Empire to hear Larcadeʼs inspiring speech!

”Oh!!”

As Larcadeʼs voice fell, thousands of warships all released excited shouts.

”Larcade, although we have a ninety-nine point eight percent chance of winning this operation, we must not be careless! I think what August said still has some truth…”

”Winter General” Invel Yura wore a blue military coat, and his entire body radiated piercing cold air. It was hard to imagine that such an incomparably cold-looking man was actually a main war faction member.

Yes, Invel Yura had always been main war faction. He believed that only on the battlefield could his talents best be displayed!! Therefore, from the beginning, Invel Yura had always stood on Larcadeʼs side. Of course, this was not to say that he liked Larcade, only that Yura knew that only by standing on Larcadeʼs side could war be set off, and only then could he fully display his role!

”Hahaha, I wonder how many casualties this battle will cause again, and what interesting history it will let me see~”

Compared to Invel Yura, Neinhart was purely a fun-seeker. His reason for liking war was completely different from the others here.

Neinhart liked war because war would come with countless dead people, and the more people died, the stronger and more interesting his magic would become!

Neinhartʼs magic, Historia of the Dead, could peer into the enemyʼs heart, then materialize the powerful enemies the enemy had once fought against, or Mages who could produce psychological shadows in them, and make them fight~

However, this seemingly powerful magic had a weakness that was not quite a weakness, which was that he could only materialize people who had already died. Therefore, Neinhart liked war and liked seeing strong people die…

Because of his love of fighting, Neinhart had always leaned toward Larcadeʼs side in this power struggle between Larcade and August in the Alvarez Empire! He wanted to launch an attack against Ishgar…

”I am only a hired fighter. As long as I can fight strong opponents, I will be satisfied.”

Bloodman, who had the title ʼGrim Reaperʼ and wore a pitch-black cloak, crossed his arms before his chest. Compared to the others, he was more like a pure martial artist. Compared to everyone else here, Bloodman liked battle more! Battle with the strong! Bloodman enjoyed battle…

At the same time, although Bloodman and Larcade were both demons created by Zeref, his relationship with Larcade was not particularly good. In the power struggle between Larcade and August, Bloodman had always remained neutral and did not intend to lean toward either side…

”Battle? Compared to battle, I want to go back and continue my research more…”

Wall looked at these eager companions before him, his expression without any waves. He let out a huge yawn, his eyes incomparably tired.

Wall was not human, but a member of the Machias race. He was a super genius of the Machias race, and also the current patriarch of the Machias. He himself did not have much interest in battle. He preferred silently researching alone, strengthening himself, making up for his own shortcomings, and making himself perfect!

However, to deal with battle, he had upgraded himself with a battle-loving personality…

And in the power struggle between Larcade and August in the Alvarez Empire, he had always maintained a neutral position!

”Sigh…”

”I still believe that what Mr. August said must have his reasons.”

Jacob Lessio wore a black suit, with a skull tattooed on his forehead. His appearance was like that of a gentlemanly uncle. Among all the Spriggan 12 present, he was the only one leaning toward August. He had always respected August. It was just that in the current meeting of the Spriggan 12, Larcade had obtained victory, so he had no choice but to follow Larcade to attack the continent of Ishgar.

”Hehe…”

”Do not think too much, Jacob Lessio. August is merely considering his own interests!”

”Whether his heart is still with the empire is still unknown! But the fact that he stopped us from attacking the continent of Ishgar has clearly already harmed our empireʼs interests and harmed His Majestyʼs interests…”

”Jacob Lessio, I know you still do not believe me now, but that is fine! As long as we take down the continent of Ishgar, as long as we can take down the Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia Town, and Fairy Tail, and take out that thing that is vitally important to the emperor, then everything will become clear!”

”Whether I know nothing about the power of Ishgar, or whether that fellow August is deliberately hiding something, I think all of you will understand when the time comes…”

After hearing Jacob Lessioʼs words, Larcade coldly laughed. He disdained Jacob Lessioʼs words. In Larcadeʼs eyes, August merely did not want him to make achievements. August feared that he would further obtain Zerefʼs trust and receive His Majesty Zerefʼs love…

”I-Is that so?”

After hearing Larcadeʼs words, Jacob Lessioʼs lips moved slightly. He wanted to say something, but all of it got stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could not say a single word.

”Set out…”

Larcade did not explain anything. He directly announced the order to attack to the entire army.

”Boom!”

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, those warships suddenly took off! Thousands of warships carried an army of millions and attacked toward the continent of Ishgar! The most fatal part was that every one of these millions of soldiers was a Mage!

This terrifying strength could not be produced by any country on the continent of Ishgar, not even the Kingdom of Fiore. To deal with the western continent, only all the countries on the continent of Ishgar uniting together would work…

Otherwise, before their Alvarez Empire, it would have no meaning! At least in Larcadeʼs view, it was like this! This was also why Larcade had always shouted about attacking. Because in Larcadeʼs eyes, the continent of Ishgar was completely unable to withstand a single blow before their Alvarez Empire!

”Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Accompanied by the shouts of the Alvarez Empireʼs soldiers, those warships charged toward the continent of Ishgar!

In truth, Larcadeʼs thoughts were not unique to Larcade. In the eyes of these Alvarez Empire soldiers, who had long been brainwashed by the empire, the continent of Ishgar was also weak and completely not their opponent…

Then…

”Whoosh!!”

Accompanied by a burst of colorful light, a sharp slash directly cut the dozens of warships flying at the front into pieces!

”Ah!!!”

Accompanied by a burst of shouting, countless warriors of the Alvarez Empire directly flew out from the warships and fell into the sea beneath them.

”Splash! Splash!”

Immediately, flowers of spray splashed on the originally calm sea…

”What is going on?!”

For a time, Larcade, who had originally been sitting inside the flagshipʼs command room, froze completely. They had only just left the Alvarez Empire and arrived above the nearby sea. How had they already suffered an enemy attack?

”Sorry! Originally, we planned to wait for you in Ishgar, but we waited left and right and still could not wait for anyone. So we came to block your gate…”

Kurnugi flew in midair. He held his katana and looked at the Alvarez Empire soldiers before him as he smiled.

”Who are you?!”

Countless Alvarez Empire soldiers looked at Kurnugi, who had suddenly arrived above their heads, their expressions horrified as they questioned aloud.

”Hah? You actually ask me who I am?”

”My answer is, I am fundamentally not human…”

Kurnugi, who had originally been flying in the sky using Evanʼs Enchantment Magic, suddenly grinned after hearing the words of the Alvarez Empire soldiers. He smiled savagely and spoke to the Alvarez Empire soldiers.

”You say you are not human?!”

As Kurnugiʼs voice fell, the soldiers of the Alvarez Empire all froze.

”I said I am not human…”

”Because I am…”

Kurnugi moved his neck. He had already greeted Evan.

Master Evan had already told him that on the western continent, he could transform into a dragon and use magic power without restraint, and it would not attract those black wings of despair! Because the nearby sea area had already been enchanted with a barrier that cut off magic power. Moreover, in order to give Acnologia something to do today, Evan had made a dozen more baits for Acnologia, which could guarantee that Little Black would have something to do and have no time to manage other matters…

”…A dragon!”

The instant Kurnugiʼs voice fell, his amber human eyes had already disappeared. Replacing them was a pair of crimson beast-like eyes…

Immediately afterward, Kurnugiʼs body was instantly covered in scales. Majestic dragon horns grew from his forehead, fangs grew from his mouth, and his body became sturdy and enormous! Heaven-reaching wings grew from his back! In the blink of an eye, Kurnugiʼs body continuously changed from the original young man into that ferocious terrifying beast!

”A dragon, itʼs a dragon!”

The Mages of the Alvarez Empire looked at that terrifying beast, over ten meters long and whose spread wings could cover the warship deck, their bodies continuously trembling.

These soldiers even widened their eyes. They would absolutely not mistake it. This winged, imposing lifeform before them had a resounding title in this world—dragon!

”A dragon?! What kind of joke is this? Havenʼt all dragons already run to the northern continent Guiltina? That kind of existence should have already gone extinct on the western continent and the continent of Ishgar!”

At this moment, Larcade inside the flagship looked somewhat unable to stay calm.

Larcade had been created by Zeref four hundred years ago. At that time, dragons had not disappeared yet, and the world was filled with those terrifying creatures! No one understood the strength of dragons better than people like Larcade who had once lived in the same era as dragons.

”A dragon! Truly troublesome thing! But from the looks of it, this dragonʼs size seems not yet adult…”

”Fortunately, what we encountered is a dragon that has not yet reached adulthood. Otherwise, even if we took action, we would feel extremely strained…”

The era in which ʼGrim Reaperʼ Bloodman was born was even earlier than Larcadeʼs, so he naturally understood the power of dragons. Without question, dragons were synonymous with magic and power. Among them, those terrifying monsters crowned with the name Dragon King were even more undefeatable existences. After all, those black wings that made their master feel despair were also one of the great Dragon Kings!

”One dragon is not worth fearing!”

”No matter how one says it, one million against one, the advantage is ours!”

Larcadeʼs expression was calm. He clasped his hands together. It was merely a young dragon. One million Mages making a move together, even if only through attrition, would be enough to exhaust the other side to death.

”Boom!!”

Just as Larcade clasped his hands together and once again regained his saintly posture, a great sun whistled and ignited above everyoneʼs heads in the azure sky!

”The! Sun! Another sun has actually appeared in the sky!”

The sudden appearance of this sun attracted all the soldiersʼ gazes. They were shocked by this supernatural phenomenon before them.

However, before these soldiers could figure out why two suns appeared in the sky at the same time! The endless light and heat waves released by that sun came straight at them!

The blazing light released by that sun directly burned the nearby magic warships to ashes. Even the clothes on those soldiersʼ bodies began to spontaneously combust uncontrollably, continuously burning and turning into countless green smoke…

”Hot! So hot!”

”Jump off the ship! If we continue staying here, we will be burned to death…”

On the warships, the Alvarez Empire soldiers were immediately burned by their melting clothes and burning warships. They did not dare think too much and no longer dared look at the sun above their heads. They directly jumped off the warships toward the sea beneath them. They could no longer care about too much. Before life and death, nearly everyoneʼs choice was the same.

”What is that?!”

And with another great sun suddenly appearing in the sky, such a major event naturally also attracted the attention of Larcade and the others inside the flagship. They looked at that huge sun in the sky and widened their eyes…

”How could two suns appear in the sky? I have lived in this world for so long and have never seen this before…”

ʼGrim Reaperʼ Bloodman stared solemnly at the sun in the sky, his brows tightly locked.

Even ʼGrim Reaperʼ Bloodman, who had already lived in the world of Earth-land for four hundred years and experienced countless storms, had never seen the sight of two suns sharing the sky. And most importantly, as far as he knew, the world of Earth-land should only have one sun.

”No, that is not the sun. That is magic, magic used by a human!”

”There is actually such a powerful fire-attribute Mage in this world? Before him, I cannot even use my magic. The ice I create would evaporate the instant I summoned it. It is truly too terrifying…”

ʼWinter Generalʼ Invel Yura stared solemnly at the sun that had suddenly appeared in the sky, his pupils filled with shock.

In Invelʼs eyes, beneath that newly appeared sun above everyoneʼs heads, a short middle-aged man with his upper body bare and mysterious patterns tattooed on his body was standing there astonishingly. At this moment, the corners of that short middle-aged manʼs mouth rose, like the great Sun God, constantly declaring his existence to the world.

”No! That magic power, and that posture, could it be…”

Just as Invel Yura discovered the human standing beneath the ʼsun,ʼ Larcade, standing beside the Winter General, also noticed that middle-aged man. After Larcade saw the appearance of that middle-aged man, a trace of panic flashed through his eyes, and then he subconsciously stepped back several steps.

Larcade, as a demon who had lived for four hundred years, and also the second-to-last demon created by Zeref, as well as the demon closest to perfection, knew many secrets others did not know…

He had once followed Zeref and had the fortune to see this great existence before him, whose name was…

”That is not human, that is Fire Dragon King Igneel!”

Larcadeʼs lips were roasted incomparably dry in this fiery air, to the point that they cracked open and flowed with crimson blood.

”Fire Dragon King Igneel?!”

As Larcadeʼs voice fell, all the Mages inside the cabin revealed shocked expressions.

Although some of them had not heard of Igneelʼs name, just the three words Fire Dragon King were enough to shock everyone.

”Fire Dragon King Igneel. Four hundred years ago, before the Black Dragon King Acnologia appeared, he was the strongest dragon living in this world! Even in that era when dragons roamed freely, he was a terrifying existence known as invincible. How could such an existence suddenly block our path?! I cannot understand…”

ʼGrim Reaperʼ Bloodman stared fixedly at Igneel in the sky, who was like the Sun God. His face was ashen as he told everyone present about Igneelʼs terrifying strength.

”Uh…”

As Bloodmanʼs voice fell, the Magesʼ expressions changed one after another. When they originally heard the name Fire Dragon King, they had already guessed that the middle-aged man would be difficult to deal with, but they had not expected Igneel to be this terrifying. He was a terrifying monster known as invincible in the era when dragons were still alive…

”Inhale, exhale…”

At this moment, even Larcadeʼs expression did not look good. Although he knew Igneel had offspring and would most likely be affected by his Curse, with Igneelʼs strength, he was afraid that Igneel could climax while burning him to death with one mouthful of dragon flame.

”Our enemies are two dragons?”

Neinhart revealed despair on his face. He did like seeing other peopleʼs deaths, but he did not like seeing his own death! Making them deal with two dragons, one of which was known as a Dragon King and was the invincible Fire Dragon King of the dragon era? Stop joking…

”Roar!!”

Just as Neinhart and the others looked at the sun in the sky and despaired, the sky suddenly darkened!

Endless night covered half the sky, and a golden bright moon illuminated heaven and earth like this! That was the great celestial body that had eternally accompanied the world of Earth-land! At this moment, that golden bright moon suddenly became enormous, like the great sun created by Igneel, hanging above everyoneʼs heads like this…

For a time, above the coastal sea surface of the western continent, one half of the sky had a blazing great sun releasing endless light and heat, while the other half had night fall, with a golden full moon hanging in the sky and reflecting radiance! For a time, above everyoneʼs heads, a rare spectacle difficult to see in thousands of years was created, the sun and moon shining together!

”What happened again?”

At this moment, these millions of soldiers were trembling in fear. They had already forgotten what they were supposed to do and where they were supposed to go…

They only hoped that everything before their eyes was a dream, a dream that would soon wake up!

Unfortunately, this was not a dream.

”Roar!!”

Just as the soldiers could not understand what exactly was happening before them, a dragon roar seemed to come from that golden full moon. They saw a beautiful nine-tailed divine fox dancing wildly beneath that moon. Every tail of that divine fox was so beautiful, and every inch of that divine foxʼs skin produced endless temptation toward the soldiers…

”Another dragon! A Dragon King-level dragon…”

Bloodman had already become dumbfounded. He seemed to have already foreseen his own ending. Today was probably the death of the Grim Reaper.

”Two Dragon Kings.”

Larcade was also dumbfounded. Even four hundred years ago, he had never seen such a scene!

”Rumble!!”

Before the minds of the Spriggan 12 inside the flagship could settle…

Accompanied by endless lightning, at some unknown time, dark clouds had already filled the sky above everyoneʼs heads. Those dark clouds covered the moon in the sky and also blocked the blazing sun.

”Roar!!”

However, before everyone could thank the arrival of the dark clouds, another dragon roar came from within those dark clouds. Using the continuously roaring flashes, everyone could see that within those dark clouds, a colossal creature was shuttling through! Without question, this was also a dragon.

”Roar!”

”Roar!!”

”Roar!!!”

As the dragon roar within the dark clouds sounded, endless dragon roars suddenly came from between heaven and earth. One, two, three, four…

At this moment, the warriors of the Alvarez Empire, including the Spriggan 12 inside the flagship, were all dumbfounded. Had they broken into a dragonʼs nest? They had not even seen the fairies, but they had seen plenty of dragons instead…

”...”

At this moment, Larcadeʼs face was dim, and his eyes were lifeless. Right now, he only wanted to find Acnologia and properly ask him how exactly he had exterminated the dragons back then. Too unprofessional!
