Chapter 179

【"It's here!!! Acnologia!!!"】

【On the city wall, Irene gritted her teeth tightly and said in a deep voice.】

【"Roar————!!"】

【Acnologia, spreading its wings and flying continuously, flew directly over the heads of Black Natsu and Irene.】

【The massive body completely obscured the sunlight above their heads.】

【It's hard to imagine that just by simply flapping its wings.】

【It could cause the city wall, which had withstood countless attacks and stood tall, to show large areas of cracks.】

【Acnologia was right above everyone's heads, flapping those terrifying dark wings.】

【Circling the entire city, it flew around quickly.】

【The raging wind pressure sprinkled down from the sky.】

【The originally sturdy houses were like tofu dregs at this moment, once touched!】

【Along the trajectory of Acnologia's flight, a series of intense explosions rang out.】

【One house after another was completely shattered at this moment.】

【Sky-high flames were burning wantonly.】

【Rolling smoke kept rising.】

【The tyrannical pressure enveloped the sky above the entire town,】

【A corner of the town.】

【Mavis and the others, who had already mounted the back of a dragon and were preparing to take off, were also watching this scene.】

【Their hair had already stood up, and even the bodies of Yuri and the others had stiffened.】

【"No... no way... the monster the master and the others have to face... is actually this kind of guy?"】

【"Acnologia... in the Apocalypse, it is called the root of destruction. Once Acnologia descends, all things in the world will return to nothingness..."】

【Mavis bit her lip, her face looking unprecedentedly ugly.】

【"This kind of thing... is there really a possibility of winning??"】

【Precht also started to doubt his life.】

【It was... this scene in front of him was too despairing.】

【Just flying around the city once caused large-scale damage to the town.】

【Looking around, where is there any appearance of the former Galaxy Empire capital here?】

【Flames were burning everywhere, and broken rocks were piled up everywhere.】

【Rolling thick smoke rose into the sky, reflecting everything as terrifying as hell.】

【Kyôka and Seilah, sitting in front of the three, had also fallen into silence.】

【"Acnologia... there's no way to defeat that kind of thing..."】

【Kyôka said in a low voice.】

【"So, taking advantage of the time won for us by the Queen, the King, and Lord Belserion, we must hurry to escape from here..."】

【"At least... we must protect the seeds of the Galaxy Empire, the yet-to-be-born Princess Erza."】

【"Young Master..." Seilah's expression was low.】

【She didn't want to leave, but...】

【Touching the ancient book in her arms that had already become scorching hot, Seilah couldn't help but close her eyes tightly.】

【She must protect this book. As long as she protects this book, then even if Black Natsu dies in this war, she can save him back.】

【And this was the reason why Seilah agreed with Kyôka to leave first.】

【Kyôka took a deep breath and patted the neck of the giant dragon below.】

【"We are ready to set off... we are already the last ones."】

【The giant dragon below everyone also raised its head, and its massive wings moved accordingly.】

【At this moment, Mavis gritted her teeth tightly.】

【She shouted loudly: "Wait!!"】

【She looked straight at Kyôka, straight at Seilah, looking at Yuri and the others, her eyes filled with tears.】

【"Letting me abandon the master and run away like this... I can't do it!"】

【She looked into the distance, toward the city wall covered by dark clouds, and said in a deep voice: "I... must go back to help the master and the others!"】

【"Help??"】

【Yuri felt this was a bit absurd.】

【"With our strength, how could we possibly be of any help??"】

【"In that level of battle, even if the aftermath hits us, it would cost us our lives, right?"】

【Mavis's emerald eyes were filled with firmness.】

【Her small fists were clenched tightly.】

【"I... I have my own way!"】

【Even if it doesn't work, at worst, we'll die together.】

【"Anyway, if it weren't for the master's teaching back then, we would have died in Magnolia long ago."】

【The more she said, the more firm Mavis's heart became.】

【"So, you guys leave first, I'm going to help! I have my own way."】

【Saying this, Mavis ignored the opposition of others and jumped straight down from the dragon's back.】

【Her bare feet didn't care about the messy ground and started running toward the city wall with all her might.】

【......】

【Toward the city wall, Black Natsu and Irene were waiting in full battle array, watching the giant dragon flapping its wings and floating in mid-air in front.】

【Those pale eyes were staring fixedly at the two.】

【The sound of roaring gales exploded in their ears.】

【Irene raised her arm and wiped the sweat from her cheeks.】

【On her delicate face, a pair of eyebrows were tightly furrowed into a "chuan" shape.】

【Hoo... hoo...】

【Acnologia was descending slowly, and it wasn't until its four limbs touched the ground that its flapping wings gradually stopped.】

【"Are we... going to fight this kind of guy? It's completely not in the same league as all the giant dragons we've encountered before."】

【Irene said in a deep voice.】

【"Acnologia, the culprit who forced Igneel and the others to make that choice..."】

【Black Natsu's eyebrows were also furrowed tightly.】

【Over the years, Black Natsu had been thinking about Acnologia all the time.】

【What kind of existence is it?】

【How powerful is it?】

【What does it look like?】

【Or rather, what happened between Igneel and the others and Acnologia back then?】

【Over the years, countless thoughts had echoed in his mind.】

【He didn't know the answers to these questions, but what was certain was that this guy was definitely an enemy!】

【Not just his own enemy, it could be said that it was the enemy of the entire dragon race, the enemy of all humans.】

【Or rather... it is the enemy of the world!】

【Directly in front, Acnologia slowly raised its head.】

【The hideous head was clearly revealed in front of the two.】

【"Roar!!!!"】

【The giant dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth toward the city wall.】

【The deafening roar instantly stirred up a terrifying storm!】

【Boom boom boom————!!!】

【Endless gales raged.】

【In just a short instant, it began to crazily ravage everything around.】

【The surrounding earth collapsed completely because of its roar.】

【The gale, which was like a natural disaster, hit the thick city wall directly!】

【Crack crack crack crack...】

【Countless cracks appeared at this moment.】

【The entire city wall was trembling under the unbearable burden.】

【Dense cracks also spread crazily like a spider web. In just an instant, the entire city wall was covered.】

【Immediately after, it collapsed with a bang!!】

【On the city wall, Black Natsu grabbed Irene's arm tightly, and the two fell toward the ground together.】

【The terrifying howling stirred up substantial air waves.】

【The moment the city wall shattered, it swept toward the countless buildings inside the city wall like a tidal wave.】

【Boom boom boom————!!】

【Countless houses exploded in an instant, and continuous rumbles rang out on this battlefield.】

【The terrifying impact didn't stop until it spread for several kilometers and destroyed half of the town.】

【The tremors of the earth and the intense rumbles also gradually stopped at this moment.】

【In the ruins, Black Natsu and Irene poked their heads out.】

【The howling sound just now didn't cause any substantial damage to the two.】

【But... the destruction caused to the surroundings still made Irene shocked!】

【Smoke and dust had already filled the sky.】

【Everything around had become broken, and there were scattered rock ruins everywhere.】

【The flat ground had also become pitted, and countless stone powder and dust were floating in the air.】

【Looking toward the back.】

【The original high-rise buildings, luxury buildings, etc., had all been completely razed to the ground.】

【"No... no way??"】

【"Is it this exaggerated??"】

【"This was just a roar!!"】

Irene's shocked voice was transmitted to the whole world through the sky screen.】

【As if speaking the hearts of the people.】

【Countless people were stunned on the spot.】

【Yes, it was just a roar, and... it hadn't even used magic power yet.】

【It could cause destruction comparable to a Magic Convergence Cannon... no, or rather, more terrifying than the Magic Convergence Cannon Jupiter.】

【People all over the world were already stunned on the spot.】

【Although most people knew that there was a world-destroying giant dragon like Acnologia.】

【But this was the first time they had experienced it so intuitively.】

【The terror of this world-destroying dragon.】

【Chelia: "Is there really a way to resist this level of monster??"】

【Millianna: "My hair is starting to stand up, meow~~"】

【Jura: "Acnologia... damn it, this is simply a level that human power cannot reach!"】

【Sting: "Is it... this terrifying???"】

【Rogue: "Acnologia... even across the sky screen, I can still feel the sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of my heart..."】

【"There's no way to fight this kind of thing, right??"】
