Chapter 182

The Dragon Slayers were collectively stunned at this moment.

Except for Sting and Rogue, who had already defaulted to the death of the dragons that raised them.

Whether it was Natsu, Wendy, or Gajeel, who usually appeared indifferent.

All three of them wanted to find their parents at every moment.

But, after so many years.

No matter how many places they traveled, they couldn't find any trace of the dragons.

As a result, they only now know that the dragons... were actually inside their bodies all along?

Stunned, horrified, shocked, various emotions intertwined in the depths of the Dragon Slayers' hearts.

After a brief daze, it immediately turned into huge excitement!

"Igneel! Igneel!! Are you there? Can you hear me? Answer me quickly!!!"

Natsu shouted towards his chest as if he were crazy.

He even kept pounding his chest with his fists.

Tears also poured down at this moment.

"Igneel! Answer me!!!"

"Answer me quickly, you bastard, why did you leave without saying goodbye!!"

"Natsu, calm down." Gray, who was on the side, couldn't watch anymore and couldn't help but advise him.

"I can't calm down, Igneel, come out quickly, come out!!!"

Natsu roared with all his might.

The other two Dragon Slayers on the side weren't doing much better.

They were all frantically calling out the names of Grandeeney and Metalicana at this moment.

Everyone in the guild looked at each other, watching the three Dragon Slayers who were almost going crazy, and for a moment didn't know what to do.

Watching this situation, Makarov couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Sigh, after all, they are the parents who raised them, and they've been missing for so many years; it's not strange that they would be so excited to get news again."

"However..."

Speaking of this, Makarov paused slightly.

"Since those dragons didn't choose to appear or tell them their whereabouts all these years, they must have had their own hidden reasons."

"They are calling out now, but they might not necessarily get a response."

"Then... won't they collapse?" Mirajane looked at the three Dragon Slayers with some worry.

But, just at this moment.

A crimson light that no one could have predicted flickered on Natsu.

Immediately after, the crimson light condensed on top of Natsu's head, gradually transforming into Igneel's appearance.

A helpless tone also followed: "Stop shouting, Natsu, why are you still so impulsive after so many years?"

"Igneel! Igneel!!!"

The moment he saw that phantom, Natsu immediately lunged forward.

But he lunged into empty air.

"This... what exactly is going on?"

"Are we really going to tell them now? Igneel?"

Just at this moment, another sky-blue light gradually emerged from Wendy's body.

Grandeeney's phantom also appeared.

Immediately after, it was Metalicana emerging from Gajeel.

Makarov widened his eyes, looking at the three phantoms.

He whispered: "Dragons... have they really appeared?!"

"Sigh..."

Igneel sighed long.

"I didn't intend to appear, but since the screen has already exposed us, there's no point in hiding anymore."

Grandeeney also nodded gently.

"Grandeeney..."

Wendy's weak crying came from below; Grandeeney looked at Wendy with some heartache.

"Child, you've suffered all these years."

"Hey, what exactly is your situation? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? And why did you enter my body, making me... search for you so bitterly for so many years."

Gajeel looked at Metalicana with a face full of anger.

But his eyes were already filled with mist.

A tough guy also has his own tenderness, he just doesn't show it often.

Regarding this, the three dragons looked at each other.

Then Igneel spoke slowly: "The ins and outs of the matter are complicated; aren't you watching this screen? I think Black Natsu over there will give an explanation."

"I can only say that there are two reasons why we hid in your bodies without telling you."

"One is to suppress the Dragon Seed budding in your bodies to prevent you from turning into dragons; during this period, we didn't have time to respond to you, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't."

"The reason we can now is just because this work is finished."

"And the second reason is actually very simple; if you always rely on us, you won't be able to grow."

Grandeeney also added: "As for the rest, let's talk after watching the screen."

In the scene.

【After the five rays of light merged into the bodies of the five Dragon Slayers.】

【Anna wrapped the bodies of the five children with magic power and then brought them into flight.】

【Turning around, Anna spread her hands.】

【Massive magic power constantly condensed, and immediately after, twelve golden lights flew out.】

Lucy: "That is..."

Hisui E. Fiore: "Spirit Magic?"

Sabertooth, Yukino Agria: "Or the twelve keys of the Zodiac?"

Spirit Magic belongs to Holder-type magic, using keys as a medium to summon spirits to fight.

Among them, the most powerful and rarest are the keys of the Zodiac.

And now, these twelve keys were actually in the hands of this Anna.

Lucy: "Could it be that this Anna is also an extremely powerful Spirit Mage?!"

【With the appearance of the twelve golden keys, the spirits of the Zodiac also appeared one by one around Anna.】

【Immediately after, they all rushed towards that gate.】

【"Open, gate that traverses time and space!"】

【Anna whispered softly.】

And it was exactly this sentence that made the entire world channel explode.

Brain: "So that's it, so that's it, the keys of the Zodiac... are actually the gate to open the gate of time and space?!"
