Chapter 223

"Could it be... Following Ye Yu wants to persuade the Guild Master to continue the S-Class Mage exam?"

Brother Na Zi and Happy said.

Gajeel, on the side, was full of doubt.

Gajeel knew Following Ye Yu a little.

He knew Following Ye Yu's strength.

Even when facing an opponent like Azuma, Following Ye Yu was calm and composed.

What made Gajeel doubt was what exactly made Following Ye Yu show such an expression.

While Gajeel was doubting, Following Ye Yu and Makarov had already arrived in the forest not far from the crowd.

"What exactly happened?"

Makarov stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at Following Ye Yu, and asked.

Just as Following Ye Yu was about to speak, an incomparably massive magic power reaction appeared in his mind.

Previously in the West Continent, Following Ye Yu had sensed Irene's magic power.

If Irene's magic power was a lake.

Then the magic power Following Ye Yu sensed now was as vast as the ocean.

For an existence that could possess such massive magic power, Following Ye Yu's first reaction was: Acnologia.

"It is here!"

Following Ye Yu looked at the sky reflexively, looking solemn.

In the original story, after Brother Na Zi and the others defeated Grimoire Heart, they stayed on Tenrou Island for a long time before Acnologia arrived.

But now, Acnologia had arrived earlier than Following Ye Yu had imagined.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Makarov was puzzled, then followed Following Ye Yu's gaze and looked toward the sky.

Soon, Makarov saw a pitch-black dragon rushing toward this place from above the clouds with a powerful sense of oppression.

"..."

Although Makarov did not know Acnologia, he felt an unprecedented danger from Acnologia.

The moment he saw Acnologia, Makarov's pupils shrank, and his old face changed drastically.

At the same time, Wendi, who was chatting with Erza on the beach, suddenly sensed something and looked up subconsciously.

When she saw the giant black dragon in the sky, her small face was filled with fear: "What... what is that?"

Soon, Gajeel, Brother Na Zi, and the others also looked up.

Because Acnologia was getting closer and closer to Tenrou Island.

Looking from Tenrou Island, his form naturally grew larger and larger.

When Brother Na Zi and Gajeel looked up, they could clearly see Acnologia's full appearance.

"Dragon?!"

Gajeel looked at the black dragon in disbelief.

Since July 7, X777, Gajeel had not seen a real dragon.

Seeing a dragon again now, a strange feeling surged in his heart.

But Brother Na Zi was overjoyed to see the black dragon.

After all, he had been looking for Igneel for many years, but had never had any clues.

Seeing a real dragon now, he didn't care whether the dragon was a friend or a foe, and rushed up directly.

Perhaps Gajeel, Brother Na Zi, and the others had not seen this black dragon.

But Gildarts had.

"This feeling... no mistake, it is that guy!"

Gildarts had fought Acnologia when he was on the 100-year quest.

In just an instant, he had been seriously injured by Acnologia.

Seeing Acnologia again now, the terrifying memories in his mind seemed to be hooked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Brother Na Zi, stop quickly!"

Seeing Brother Na Zi rush toward Acnologia, Gildarts did not hesitate and immediately pounced toward Brother Na Zi.

Acnologia's massive body, like Mount Tai pressing down, crushed directly toward where Brother Na Zi was located.

But fortunately, the moment Acnologia landed, Gildarts had already taken Brother Na Zi and retreated into the sky.

But even so, the terrifying shockwave produced when Acnologia landed still blew Gildarts and Brother Na Zi, who were in the sky, away.

At the same time, Elfman, Fried, and the other Fairy Tail members on the island were also blown away under the impact of this terrifying shockwave.

"What is this?"

After Evergreen landed, she looked at Acnologia's body, which was as massive as a mountain, and said in fear.

While Evergreen was speaking, Acnologia roared.

Perhaps for Acnologia, he had just yawned casually.

But this roar of his produced a terrifying shockwave.

Evergreen and the others, who had just prepared to stand up, were blown away by the shockwave again.

"Script!"

Fried seemed to intend to use Script to trap Acnologia, but his Script was like paper in front of Acnologia.

"The Script was actually destroyed?"

"What exactly is this..."

Fried saw his Script easily destroyed by Acnologia and said in shock and fear.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Just then, a golden lightning bolt descended from the sky.

The next second, Fried and Evergreen saw a golden-haired man wearing a white cape and headphones appear before them.

"Laxus?!"

Looking at this person, Fried and Evergreen were overjoyed.

And Laxus did not hesitate, taking a deep breath.

"Lightning Dragon's Roar!"

Hum—

A thick lightning beam rushed toward Acnologia with astonishing force.

Boom—

The next second, the lightning beam slammed into Acnologia's massive body.

At this moment, a terrifying loud noise echoed throughout Tenrou Island.

But Laxus's Lightning Dragon's Roar, which was enough to destroy a mountain, was like scratching an itch for Acnologia.

"How can this be?"

"Even Laxus's attack..."

Fried and Evergreen saw Acnologia unscathed after taking Laxus's hit, and the despair on their faces grew even worse.

"Everyone retreat quickly, this guy is not something humans can contend with!"

At this time, Gildarts held Brother Na Zi and shouted to the crowd.

But Acnologia did not give everyone a chance to retreat.

Makarov, who came out of the forest, saw this and prepared to rush up to fight Acnologia to buy time for everyone to retreat.

Yet, before Makarov could act, Following Ye Yu rushed in front of Acnologia.

"Following Ye Yu, what do you want to do?"

Erza saw Following Ye Yu rush toward Acnologia, her beautiful face changed, and she shouted loudly.

"Erza, I will block this guy; you take everyone and leave on that magic airship!"

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Erza's heart trembled.

Although Erza knew Following Ye Yu's strength was very strong.

But in Erza's view, no matter how strong Following Ye Yu was, he could not contend with the black dragon before them.

Indeed, just as Erza thought.

Following Ye Yu was not Acnologia's match. ===== CHAPTER 225 =====
