Chapter 343

Gajeel: "Wait!! What was that black figure that flashed by at the end of the scene??"

Gildarts: "That huge body, the dark green patterns... the pitch-black body..."

Lucy: "It can't be wrong... it absolutely can't be wrong!"

Mirajane: "That is... Acnologia!"

Sting: "Acnologia??"

"Is that the giant dragon from the legends that can single-handedly destroy a kingdom, Acnologia?"

Rogue: "That guy... even through the barrier, is the pressure so strong?"

Laxus: "I remember you two once said that if it had been you back then, you wouldn't have been wiped out by Acnologia on Tenrou Island, right?"

"How about it? Now that Acnologia has really appeared in the barrier, do you think... you can win?"

Sting: "That kind of monster..."

Inside Sabertooth.

Sting's brows furrowed tightly.

Although Acnologia's figure had only appeared briefly in the barrier scene just now.

But, that heart-pounding feeling was still echoing in his heart.

If it were before, Sting would have answered without hesitation that he could win!

After all, in his view, Weisslogia was the strongest dragon.

Even such a dragon was killed by him, so what could a mere Acnologia do?

However, with the display of the barrier scene.

He finally knew how high this world was!

How exaggerated the powerhouses in this world were!

Even the power displayed by ordinary giant dragons was almost at a level Sting could not reach.

Even an empire as strong as the Galaxy Empire, which had Belserion's protection.

Had to avoid its edge.

So... how strong is Acnologia?

Sting fell silent.

Lector on the side stared fixedly at Sting, despite having all kinds of unwillingness in his heart.

But, now he also knew how absurd the big talk they had said before was.

How narrow-minded it was.

A dragon... is it really that easy to fight against?

After a long while, the silent Sting finally spoke on the world channel.

Sting: "I... cannot win."

"I also admit that we were too arrogant before. The world is far larger than we imagined..."

Rogue nodded silently.

"We are like frogs at the bottom of a well, always fantasizing that we are the strongest, but in reality... we might not even count as strong."

Laxus: "There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven!"

【The scene continued.】

【The pillar of light shooting into the sky lasted for several minutes before gradually fading.】

【But, at the same time, Black Natsu and the others also realized an extremely serious problem.】

【Exposed! Completely exposed!】

【Such a large-scale magic power tilt of a Title-level giant dragon could not possibly fail to attract the attention of that black dragon.】

【Inside the laboratory.】

【Erin looked at Black Natsu with an incredibly ugly expression.】

【"If I'm not mistaken... that guy is already on its way."】

【Erin's tone was filled with despair.】

【"So fast? Is it possible that guy is doing other things, or for some reason won't come?"】

【Seilah asked in confusion on the side.】

【But, to this, Erin just shook her head helplessly.】

【"Impossible! Dragon slaying has almost become a procedure that guy must execute, no matter where it is."】

【"And no matter where that aura comes from, as long as it is perceived."】

【"Then, even if it is ten thousand miles away, that guy will definitely spare no effort to rush over and completely exterminate the dragon!"】

【"Things... are troublesome now."】

【Black Natsu looked through the transparent glass at the Erza embryo that had gradually begun to calm down.】

【After the magic power tilt was finished, Erza had also completely returned to normal.】

【The fusion of the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal had reached seventy percent and stopped moving. Next, it just needed to wait, which was adaptation.】

【Adapting to a hundred percent state.】

【Because it was still in the embryo state, the body functions in all aspects had not yet grown completely, so this adaptation process would be very long.】

【It might be years, or it might be decades, but no matter what, as long as the embryo was not destroyed, Erza's birth was a certainty.】

【However, no one expected that this accident would expose the aura and attract a more powerful enemy to the Galaxy Empire.】

【Black Natsu and Erin couldn't help but feel a bit desperate.】

【"What should we do?"】

【Erin looked at Black Natsu helplessly.】

【To this, Black Natsu also shrugged his shoulders: "In the face of absolute strength, we really don't have any good methods."】

【"Such massive magic power venting will definitely allow that guy to lock onto our location."】

【"Unless the Galaxy Empire can move away entirely, otherwise it's all empty talk."】

【Erin also knew this was impossible.】

【Such a huge empire, so many people, how could it be moved just like that?】

【And, who knows how long it will take for that guy to come!】

【Perhaps, while you are still transferring, you will just happen to run into that guy.】

【By that time, even more people will die.】

【"Otherwise... we can only fight it out!"】

【Black Natsu clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Erin.】

【"Belserion plus you, plus me, and all the giant dragons in the empire."】

【"All the power poured out... is there a chance?"】

【Erin pursed her lips: "I don't know, but we can give it a try."】

【Black Natsu nodded.】

【Looking at Erin's distressed appearance, his eyeballs rolled.】

【Then he patted Erin on the shoulder.】

【"Alright, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."】

【"It's not like we don't have the strength to fight, and besides, Acnologia won't necessarily come, right?"】

【Erin looked up at Black Natsu and smiled with difficulty: "Then what do you think the probability of it not coming is?"】

【"Hmm... one percent."】

【"Pfft!!"】

【Erin was amused by him, shook her head, and looked at Black Natsu: "So, in that case, maybe we can gamble on this one percent, right?"】

【"What if we win the gamble."】

【Black Natsu responded.】

【"There is always a solution to everything. Trust me, this time it will definitely be safe and sound!"】

【Black Natsu wasn't lying about this.】

【From the fact that he could see Erza a hundred years later and hear her mention the Galaxy Empire.】

【The anomaly caused by Erza's life activation might really not have alerted Acnologia.】

【Even if they really encountered Acnologia, they must have successfully overcome this difficulty through some method.】
