Chapter 22

In two or three steps, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and arrived at Kagura's side.

On his clenched fist, magic power burst out accordingly.

Forming a golden halo that wrapped around it, he slammed it down fiercely at Kagura.

Clang————!!!

At this very instant!

An abrupt sound of a blade rang out, and a pure white blade light flashed at the burly man's abdomen!

Immediately after, a scene that shocked countless people occurred.

The burly man who had been aggressive just a moment ago was now like a kite with a broken string.

Before he could even let out a scream,

he was sent flying and smashed heavily against the wall.

Countless cracks began to spread in all directions with the burly man as the center.

The scene seemed to quiet down, with only the crisp sound of falling rocks hitting the floor.

Kagura put away her unsheathed katana.

Her sharp gaze swept across the surroundings: "If anyone else thinks their strength is enough, feel free to try, I'll accompany you to the end!"

After the words fell, the scene remained silent.

The guy who was bragging just before was still stuck on the wall, unable to be pried off.

This was enough to prove many things.

Therefore, no one was stupid enough to go and die in vain.

So everyone turned their eyes to the whereabouts of the last two answer cards.

The fourth frame seemed to be a town, where two guilds were currently fighting each other.

That's right, the goal was also very simple: for the answer card.

However, because neither guild was famous, not many people paid attention.

Those who were watching this frame were some mages who were relatively close.

They locked their targets on these two fighting guilds.

Attempting to reap the benefits of the struggle.

The last answer card also left people somewhat confused.

It seemed to be a place where crows gathered.

In a desolate desert, a building that was eerie to the point of being disgusting came into view.

And the last answer card descended here.

At the same time, it was obtained by the owner of this building, Ivan Dreyar.

When the frame focused on Ivan.

In the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov's exclamation came again.

"This... could it be Ivan?"

Laxus: "That is... my good-for-nothing father?"

[Ding, the candidates for the answer card have been determined.]

[The answering time is three minutes, please answer as soon as possible.]

In the world channel.

Makarov: "Ivan?! You brat, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Ivan: "Yo, Father, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Makarov: "Cut the hypocrisy. Are you still obsessed with this, you guy?"

Ivan: "Hehe, Father, I'm not a member of Fairy Tail anymore. As for what I'm going to do, you shouldn't be able to control me, right?"

Makarov: "I indeed can't control you, but the answer card falling into your hands is not a good thing for the magic world."

Ivan: "Hahaha, I have to remind you that I and my Raven Tail have already been listed as a legal guild, not some dark guild, Father."

"As for the answer card falling into my hands, that is the will of heaven! Heaven is helping me."

Hades: "Raven Tail? I remember it was a dark guild that once refused to join the Balam Alliance, right?"

"Have you turned over a new leaf now?"

Laxus: "Don't worry, just like you, my good-for-nothing father is definitely not planning anything good."

Ur: "Pfft hahaha, that, I can't hold it in, what is a 'good-for-nothing father'? Does anyone describe their father like that?"

Gray: "Master, that Ivan really doesn't seem like a good person; his reputation in our guild is very bad."

Ivan: "Hehe, what's the use of reputation? Isn't it me who got the answer card now?"

Irene: "Luck doesn't seem to be on our side this time. By the way, this person named Ivan, may I ask how to get to your guild?"

Ivan: "?? What are you trying to do? I warn you, it's too late if you want to snatch it; the answer cards have already been distributed, and we are about to enter the answering stage."

The facts were indeed as Ivan said.

Soon, the prompt sound from the sky screen resounded.

[Ding, the five candidates for answering have been determined.]

[They are: from the dark guild, one of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros, Silver of Absolute Zero!]

[From the Black Mage guild, Lamia Scale, Jura Neekis.]

[From the Black Mage guild, Mermaid Heel, Kagura Mikazuchi.]

[From the mercenary guild, Southern Wolves, Panish.]

[And, from the Black Mage guild, Raven Tail, Ivan Dreyar.]

The frames of the five people were frozen on the sky screen.

Natsu: "Jura? That super strong uncle from Lamia Scale last time?"

Happy: "Yes, it is said that he has gone a step further and become the ceiling of humanity now."

Lyon: "That's right, apart from the top four mages of the Ten Wizard Saints, the strongest Black Mage among humans is Mr. Jura!"

Tartaros, Mard Geer: "Hehe, you yourselves know that that is only the strongest among humans. It doesn't include demons."

Hades: "Underworld King? You've come out too?"

Mard Geer: "The abyss of darkness is too boring. Even I, Mard Geer, need to descend into the world occasionally to find some fun."

Brain: "Hmph, a bunch of guys hiding in the shadows."

Mard Geer: "Not really, we are darkness itself! You're just a stray dog, better not wander in front of Mard Geer."

Brain: "?? Your love for posturing hasn't changed at all, you bastard!"

The big shots of several dark guilds were arguing here.

On the other side, the five answerers were not idle either.

After all, there were only three minutes; if they missed it, it would count as an abstention.

No one wanted to let go of the feeling of becoming stronger so easily.

Silver: "Since that's the case, I'll go first. I think highly of Black Natsu; he shouldn't be like White Natsu, crying and wailing."

"Hmm... I'll choose B. This kid looks quite clever; he shouldn't let his background go to waste."

Jura: "My opinion is the same. Based on the previous performance, Mr. Black Natsu is very good at utilizing all available conditions to achieve his goals."

"So I also choose B."

Kagura: "Although I didn't watch much, Millianna said that Black Natsu is very strong, so I'll choose D. If a Dragon Slayer Black Mage can't hurt a dragon, what kind of Dragon Slayer Black Mage are they?"

Gajeel: "???"

"Woman? Are you the second Sting? Who are you scolding there?"

Kagura: "Isn't what I said a fact? Isn't the meaning of Dragon Slayer Magic to fight against giant dragons?"

Wendy: "That... although that's true, but, big sister, have you really seen what a giant dragon is like?"

"Even with Dragon Slayer Magic, it's very difficult to do that, right?"

Makarov: "That's right, that's right. Thinking back to Tenrou Island, our side had three Dragon Slayer Mages, oh right, plus Laxus."

"Four Dragon Slayer Mages, and none of them could leave a single scratch on that black dragon. The existence of dragons is truly beyond your imagination."

Kagura's choice was not favored by countless people.

Yes, not only those who had seen the true power of dragons on Tenrou Island felt this way.
