Chapter 381

【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.】

【Following that, she clasped her hands together, up to her chin.】

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

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

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

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

【"Roar!!!!"】

【Accompanied by the sound of a deafening dragon roar.】

【The terrifying roar, accumulated to the extreme, descended suddenly!】

【Whoosh!!!】

【That was light sufficient to make all things dim, drawing a violent sound of breaking through the air in mid-air.】

【It engulfed everyone below, along with the entire capital of the Alvarez Empire.】

【As if wanting 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.】

【Traveling along the air, it reached beyond the nine heavens.】

【The entire earth shook at this moment.】

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

【Some were strong, some were weak.】

【But, without a doubt, the entire Ishgar continent was affected.】

【And at the center of the explosion.】

【The violent shockwave almost swept through everything around!】

【Buildings were destroyed in that explosion, and under that air wave, they were pulverized into dust.】

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

【Even the air was 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 its dragon scales, they had all turned to ashes under this strike.】

【On the spot, only a huge, incomparable deep pit remained.】

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

【Apart from that, there was nothing else.】

【"Roar!! Roar!! Roar!."】

【Acnologia raised its head, roaring as if venting.】

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

【But, Acnologia no longer cared.】

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

【Completely disappeared! Will not appear again!!】

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

【No one!】

【Or any living creature, can surpass me, none!!!】

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

【Then it flapped its wings and slowly left toward the distance.】

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

【After triggering a phenomenon of gasification, only a patch of red land remained.】

【As if confirming the bravery of the dragon slayer...】

Outside the sky screen.

The world channel had long since fallen silent.

From the moment Acnologia accumulated that terrifying roar.

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 overwhelmingly strong.

Everyone gave their all.

Even Black Natsu exploded with power, reaching the limit of limits, a Long Wang-level existence, but still couldn't win against Acnologia.

He could only leave scars on its body sufficient to seep blood.

However, from a certain perspective.

This might be the best record humans, or even... including giant dragons, have achieved when fighting Acnologia, right?

After all, even the Dragon Kings like the Fire Long Wang had their souls extracted by Acnologia.

Such a record is already enough to be proud of.

But... this is just the opinion of the world; perhaps for Black Natsu, or even the Natsu of the White World.

Such a record can only be counted as a failure.

And the price of failure... is life.

In the Mage Guild, Fairy Tail.

Silence shrouded the guild.

Even Igneel lowered his head.

At the moment in the image, Igneel within Black Natsu was still in a dormant state, so it was impossible for him to come out to save Black Natsu.

Therefore, the ending might have already been destined.

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

"Perhaps... there is still a turning point!" Mavis, on the side, stared fixedly at the sky screen.】

【In the calm image, a series of fine sounds came abruptly.】】

【Crackle crackle... crackle crackle...】】

【As if the sound of glass reaching its limit and then cracking.】】

Outside the sky screen,】

Countless people held their breath and quickly cast their gazes toward the sky screen.】

Hades: "What sound??"】

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

Jura: "It seems... to be space?"】

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

【Crackle crackle... crackle crackle...】】

【The cracking sound continued.】】

【Until...】】

【Bang!!!】】

【The crisp cracking sound echoed as a result.】】

【In the calm space, golden fragments emerged abruptly and shattered completely.】】

【Following that, the entire space appeared visibly distorted.】】

【A massive golden sphere emerged amidst the distortion.】】

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