Chapter 184

【Accompanied by a heaven-shaking sound, Acnologia's massive body retreated thousands of meters straight.】

【Smashed heavily into the mountain range behind.】

【The flat mountain body was smashed into a huge pit.】

【Smoke and dust filled the path along which Acnologia retreated.】

【Countless small rocks knocked into the sky fell, hitting the scarred earth, making a crisp sound.】

【On the spot, Black Natsu's chest was heaving violently.】

【That strike just now could almost be said to have consumed ninety percent of his magic power.】

【The massive consumption of magic power made his breathing heavy at this moment.】

【His eyes were also somewhat blurred.】

【The half-wing behind him had withered until it completely disappeared.】

【Blood couldn't stop sliding from the corner of his mouth.】

【Perhaps due to the fading of magic power, endless evil thoughts invaded again, as if wanting to burst his head.】

【But, even so, his eyes were still staring fixedly at the position where Acnologia had flown backward.】

【The smoke and dust filling the sky obscured his vision.】

【But, that heavy breathing sound, whether it existed or not, still reached Black Natsu's ears.】

【Acnologia... was not defeated!】

【It seemed to be just as Black Natsu had guessed.】

【The next moment!】

【Roar!!!!】

【That roar seemed to be anger to the extreme.】

【Accompanied by the roar, the extreme wind pressure erupted from inside the mountain body!】

【Boom————!!!】

【In just an instant, it blew away the smoke and dust filling the sky.】

【Acnologia's massive form also appeared before everyone's eyes.】

【At this moment, Acnologia looked somewhat disheveled.】

【The scales on his chest had burst open, and a trace of scarlet seeped from that small patch of charred flesh.】

【There was a lack of dragon scales on his cheek, but the overall state was still well maintained.】

【It was just as if he had suffered a minor injury and shed a little blood.】

【But, even so, it left countless people shocked!】

【You know, that is Acnologia! The existence that destroyed the dragon race alone three hundred years ago.】

【Perhaps, in that war, Acnologia had not suffered such injuries.】

【However, today! Actually suffered such trauma from a teenager?】

【It seemed that even Acnologia could not accept such a result.】

【The ferocious dragon head actually showed human-like anger!】

【"Damn human! Absolutely cannot let you continue to grow!"】

【The pupils glowing with pale light turned scarlet because of anger.】

【There was no room for any conversation.】

【Acnologia flapped his wings violently, and his whole form flew straight toward the high sky.】

【On the spot, Black Natsu gritted his teeth, wanting to stand up.】

【But, his overloaded body could no longer support such an action, so his form began to fall forward uncontrollably.】

【Pat...】

【An abruptly extended palm caught Black Natsu firmly.】

【"Mavis?"】

【Black Natsu, whose face was somewhat distorted due to evil thoughts, looked at the petite figure supporting his arm.】

【At the same time, his other hand was also supported.】

【"And Seilah??"】

【"Didn't I tell you to leave quickly?"】

【Black Natsu's voice was somewhat weak.】

【"A reckless master teaching a reckless apprentice, it's nothing strange."】

【Mavis draped Black Natsu's arm over her shoulder, firmly stabilizing his body.】

【"You..."】

【Black Natsu opened his mouth, just wanting to say something.】

【The terrifying magic power coming from the sky interrupted his words.】

【He couldn't help but raise his head, as if endless magic power, presenting one thick beam of light after another, began to gather toward Acnologia's mouth from the sky, the earth, the ocean, and every direction.】

【"That is... breath?!"】

【Belserion had also arrived here.】

【Although he was very worried about the injuries of Black Natsu and Irene, obviously, the crisis above was the most urgent existence at present.】

【"Is everything... over?"】

【Irene, supported by Kyoka, watched the scene above, her tone filled with despair.】

【"No!!"】

【But at this moment, Mavis spoke in an unusual way.】

【Watching the terrifying magic power continuously gathering above the horizon, there was no fear on her small face.】

【Instead, it was full of firmness.】

【"It definitely won't end so easily."】

【Mavis said in a deep voice.】

【The overwhelming and terrifying magic power was accumulating above everyone's heads.】

【The extreme light rendered the entire horizon.】

【Even the dark purple patterns on his massive body lit up together because of the surge of magic power.】

【Just like a symbol of death!】

【"Is that guy trying to completely destroy the entire town??"】

【Belserion's face was ugly to the extreme.】

【The magic power gathered in the sky had almost exceeded Belserion's cognition.】

【Even this dragon, who had lived for hundreds of years, had never thought of it.】

【That a living body could carry such terrifying magic power in its body.】

【"I need magic power..."】

【Mavis, watching the terrifying light in the sky, said in a deep voice.】

【"How much?"】

【Black Natsu asked through gritted teeth.】

【"A lot! It's best to have as much as possible!"】

【Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.】

【"I still have more than half of my magic power in my body."】

【Belserion was the first to speak.】

【"I don't have much left."】

【"Me too."】

【Black Natsu and Irene spoke in sync; after all, they had just experienced such a battle, it was already amazing that their magic power hadn't dried up.】

【Yuri, Precht, Warrod, as well as Kyoka and Seilah were all at full state.】

【However, what was in Seilah and Kyoka's bodies was not magic power, but curse power.】

【But, this was not a problem; whether it was magic power or curse power, its essence was the same, it just needed to be converted.】

【And this, with Belserion present, was not a problem.】

【"That's good..."】

【Mavis nodded gently.】

【"Now, we can only give it a try!"】

【Mavis gritted her teeth and murmured.】

【Immediately after, she clasped her hands together in front of her chin.】

【Her eyes closed, and golden light gradually permeated from her body.】

【That appearance... was like a devout believer.】

【At this moment, above the sky, Acnologia's magic power had accumulated to a peak.】

【The purest light of magic power was like a sun hanging in the firmament.】

【"ROAR!!!!"】

【Accompanied by the deafening dragon roar.】

【The terrifying roar that had accumulated to the extreme descended with a boom!】

【"SHOO!!!"】

【That was a light that could make all things pale, drawing a violent sound of breaking through the air in mid-air.】

【It shrouded everyone below, along with the entire capital of the Galaxy Empire.】

【As if to swallow everything.】

【The surrounding sounds seemed to disappear completely at this moment, leaving only the terrifying roar caused by the explosion, which was like a nuclear explosion.】

【It traveled along the air to beyond the nine heavens.】

【The entire earth began to shake at this moment.】

【Or rather, on this day, almost everyone living on the Ishgar continent could feel the vibration from the earth.】

【Some were strong, some were weak.】

【But, undoubtedly, the entire Ishgar continent was affected.】

【And at the center of the explosion.】

【The violent shockwave almost swept away everything around it!】

【Buildings were destroyed in the explosion and shattered into fragments under the air wave.】

【The entire world seemed to have only black and white intertwined light at this moment.】

【Even the air appeared visibly distorted because of this.】

【Until a long while later, the terrifying explosion gradually subsided.】

【All the disgusting guys from before seemed to have disappeared completely.】

【Whether it was that crazy woman, that disgusting dragon, or even... that human who shattered his dragon scales, all were turned into ashes under this strike.】

【In the original place, only a huge, incomparable deep pit was left.】

【A... huge deep pit that encompassed the capital of the Galaxy Empire.】

【Besides this, there was nothing else.】

【"ROAR!! ROAR!! ROAR!!"】

【Acnologia raised its head and roared as if venting.】

【The blood on its chest was extremely clear under the moonlight.】

【But, Acnologia didn't care anymore.】

【That one... the only human who could cause it damage, had completely disappeared.】

【Completely disappeared! Will not appear again!!】

【From now on, this world is still the one where it is the strongest existence.】

【No one!】

【Or any creature, can surpass it, none!!!】

【It howled to the sky for several minutes as if venting its victory emotion.】

【Only then did it flap its wings and slowly leave toward the distance.】

【In the original place, only a pool of dragon blood remained, dripping from mid-air onto the still scorching earth.】

【After causing a gasification phenomenon, only a patch of red land was left.】

【As if testifying to the bravery of the dragon slayer...】

Outside the Sky Screen.

The World Channel was already silent.

From the moment Acnologia accumulated that terrifying roar to the extreme.】

It had already fallen silent.】

Everyone had thought that Acnologia would be very strong.】

Even the strongest in the world.】

But... they never expected it to be so cliff-like strong.】

Everyone tried their best.】

Even Black Natsu exploded, reaching the limit of the limit, a Dragon King-level existence, still could not win against Acnologia.】

Could only leave scars on its body sufficient to seep blood.】

However, from a certain perspective.】

This was perhaps the best record humans, or even... including giant dragons, had achieved when fighting Acnologia?】

After all, even the Dragon King of Fire and others, who were also Dragon Kings, had their souls extracted by Acnologia.】

Such a record was enough to be proud of.】

But... this was just the view of the world; perhaps for Black Natsu, or even Natsu of the white world.】

Such a record could only be counted as a failure.】

And the price of failure... was life.】

In the Black Mage Guild, Fairy Tail.】

Silence shrouded the guild.】

Even Igneel lowered its head.】

At the moment in the screen, the Igneel inside Black Natsu was still in a dormant state, so it was impossible to come out and save Black Natsu.】

Therefore, the ending might have been doomed.】

Under such a world-destroying roar, perhaps, such a genius, the strongest in the ages, really fell here.】

"Perhaps... there is still a turning point!" Mavis on the side stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.】

【In the calm screen, a burst of fragmented sounds came suddenly.】

【Crack crack... crack crack...】

【As if the sound of cracks appearing after glass reached its limit.】

Outside the Sky Screen,】

Countless people held their breath and quickly cast their eyes onto the Sky Screen.】

Hades: "What sound??"

Brain: "Shattering? What is shattering, why... can't I see it?"】

Jura: "It seems... to be space?"】

Ultear: "Space? No way, this kind of thing..."】

【Crack crack... crack crack...】

【The shattering sound continued.】

【Until...】

【BANG!!!】

【The crisp shattering sound rang out.】

【In the calm space, pieces of golden fragments appeared suddenly and shattered completely.】

【Immediately after, the entire space appeared visibly distorted.】

【A huge golden sphere emerged in the distortion.】

【Golden streamers constructed by magic power floated on the surface of the sphere.】
