Chapter 60

【In his knowledge, although Irene’s enchantment magic was powerful, it was far from reaching this level!】

【This was not something that could be achieved just by having enough magic power.】

【It was more like creating a brand-new move on the basis of enchantment, a mass enchantment move!】

【"These few months of training together with Natsu... can actually make you grow this much?"】

【On the high platform of the Wang Gong.】

【A bead of sweat slid down Irene’s forehead; such a large-scale enchantment was a bit much even for Irene.】

【But, facts proved that this move of Irene’s was very useful.】

【It was worth the days and nights she spent communicating with Natsu to finalize all the details of this magic.】

【Of course, a very interesting thing happened at that time.】

【Back then, Irene was troubled about how to improve her strength.】

【So she asked Natsu how to quickly improve Dragon Slayer Magic; to this, Natsu had no shortcuts.】

【So he changed direction and suggested, since individual strength couldn't be improved, why not improve the overall strength?】

【It was this sentence that determined Irene’s subsequent research direction.】

【When conceiving and practicing this magic, because it was completed together with Natsu, during this period, Natsu actually learned enchantment magic too.】

【Although not profound, it was enough to shock Irene.】

【In the end, she could only sigh that a genius is indeed a genius; this learning ability was truly unprecedented, and there might not be anyone like him in the future.】

【"That... Queen Irene, can you let us go?"】

【Just at this moment, a voice sounded, pulling Irene’s thoughts back.】

【She couldn't help but turn her head and look at the two figures kneeling behind her.】

【Noel and Dylan.】

【A flash of disgust crossed Irene’s eyes.】

Not only that, but Irene, who was watching the live broadcast on the sky screen at this moment, also furrowed her brows tightly.

Her eyes, filled with murderous intent, stared fixedly at the figures tied up and kneeling on the ground.

She spoke through gritted teeth:

"Noel!!!"

【Just after learning that Noel was still in the capital, Irene had originally only thought of dismissing Noel casually and then devoting herself to preparing for the battle.】

【As a result, when she walked to the door, she accidentally heard the conversation between Noel and Dylan.】

【The conversation was simple; Noel was questioning Dylan why he hadn't been able to contact Irene yet.】

【And he stated that if it dragged on any longer, the agreement between them would be void.】

【The giant dragons were coming, and Noel couldn't afford to wait.】

【Hearing the word "agreement," Irene, with interest, didn't interrupt but continued to listen.】

【Until this moment, she finally understood the schemes of these two people.】

【It turned out that what Noel had his eyes on was not just Irene, but the entire Kingdom of Dragnof!】

【As one of the top-ranked kingdoms on the Ishgar continent, how could the royal family only have one woman?】

【That is to say, the entire kingdom’s economy, land, population resources, etc., were all in the hands of one woman.】

【This also meant that the Kingdom of Dragnof had no heirs and no competitors.】

【Therefore, if he could marry Irene, the entire kingdom would be equivalent to being under Noel’s control.】

【This was an entire kingdom!】

【If he could control it, plus his own family’s influence, he could almost aspire to be the strongest kingdom in Ishgar...】

【Therefore, Noel was so anxious to marry Irene, all for the sake of truly becoming the master of the Kingdom of Dragnof!】

【And, to achieve this goal, Noel also bribed the Prime Minister of the kingdom, Dylan, to act as a go-between to promote their marriage.】

【And he promised to give Dylan a position of being under one person and above ten thousand others afterward.】

【That would be much better than the Prime Minister position he currently held, which had no real power.】

【Thus, the two hit it off, and the development of things was proceeding according to their plan.】

【However, who knew that Natsu would appear halfway and take Irene to the Shenshan for a few months of training?】

【And after Irene left, the one in charge of the kingdom was that pedantic dragon Belserion, who was only loyal to the royal family.】

【And he himself was met with an eviction order?】

【Noel couldn't endure it, so he kept waiting in the Wang Gong and demanded that Dylan hurry to contact Irene.】

【Until today.】

【Irene, who understood all this, no longer cared about any face and broke directly into the conference room.】

【She had Dylan arrested on the spot, preparing to execute him for treason. As for Noel? Irene didn't intend to let him go either.】

【The moment he started plotting against her kingdom, Noel became her enemy.】

【Irene wouldn't be so stupid as to do something like letting a tiger return to the mountains.】

【It was better to finish them both off.】

【However, before Irene could execute the two, the giant dragons attacked, and Irene couldn't care about these two guys, immediately running to the upper levels of the Wang Gong to release the new enchantment magic she had studied with Natsu.】

【At this moment, facing the two’s pleas for mercy, Irene seemed to think of something interesting.】

【She then pointed to the battlefield ahead and said.】

【"If you can survive on this battlefield, I will give you a way to live."】

【"Survive on this battlefield?!"】

【The two looked ahead at the intense battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, and even their bodies began to tremble.】

【"Queen, this, this, this... isn't this asking this old man to feed the dragons?"】

【"How could I possibly survive in this situation?"】

【Dylan cried and wanted to beg for mercy.】

【"That is your business. I have already given you a way to live; if you can't grasp it, it proves you don't deserve to live," Irene said without looking back.】

【"I am a General of the Sebil Kingdom, Queen. Do you really want to make our kingdom an enemy at this time?"】

【Noel still attempted to use his background to pressure Irene.】

【But... what he got in return was only Irene’s narrowed eyes.】

【"Do you really think the Kingdom of Dragnof would fear the Sebil Kingdom?"】

【Speaking of this, Irene paused slightly: "Since you two are both..."】

【Before Irene’s words fell, she keenly sensed the sound of something breaking through the air coming rapidly.】

【A massive object was approaching her side rapidly!】

【Irene looked closely!】

【That figure was clearly different from the other giant dragons; lightning patterns covered the scales all over its body. It was the Thunder-Descending Dragon who had just broken through Belserion’s obstruction,】

Augustine!】

【"Irene! Watch out!!!"】

【Above the firmament came Belserion’s scream.】

【Belserion’s massive body had just wanted to dive over when it was immediately blocked desperately by the Storm Dragon Douglas!】

【They both knew that the two people who had the greatest impact on the entire battlefield so far were Natsu and Irene.】

【The combat power of that brat Natsu could not be underestimated; even the two titled giant dragons couldn't guarantee they could quickly resolve the battle with Natsu.】

【So they set their sights on Irene’s side.】

【The mass enchantment magic had already caused Irene’s magic power to gradually bottom out, so killing Irene first was the optimal choice.】

【Augustine’s figure kept enlarging in Irene’s pupils.】

【The gale raised by the rapid flight blew Irene’s long crimson hair.】

【At this moment, on the square below the Wang Gong, Natsu, who was fighting with a giant dragon, also noticed this scene.】

【His brows furrowed slightly, and his fist, burning with flames, slammed fiercely into the cheek of the giant dragon in front of him.】

【The massive body couldn't help but retreat a few steps.】

【Natsu also took the opportunity to pull away and ran wildly toward the Wang Gong.】

【When he arrived in front of the Wang Gong, he looked up at the sky, then his feet stomped hard on the ground, and flames erupted instantly, carrying Natsu straight to the top of the Wang Gong!】
