Chapter 225

Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer Mage; he can consume fire, and fire-element magic is ineffective against him.

Laxus is a Lightning Dragon Slayer Mage; he can consume lightning, and lightning-element magic is ineffective against him.

Following Ye Yu had been contemplating for a long time whether he could collect all Dragon Slayer Magic attributes. If he could, he would be able to consume all magic, and all magic would be ineffective against him.

Up to this point, Following Ye Yu has already collected four Dragon Slayer Magic attributes: fire, iron, lightning, and poison.

As for Hearing Wendi's Sky Dragon Slayer Magic attribute, Following Ye Yu can collect it whenever he wants.

However, after clashing with Hades, Following Ye Yu changed his mind.

Hades said: All magic originates from darkness.

In other words, regardless of whether it is fire, lightning, iron, or any other series of magic attributes, they are all branches of dark-element magic.

Following Ye Yu's thought was that if he could find the Dark Dragon Slayer Magic, he could consume magic of all attributes and be immune to all types of magic.

When Acnologia appeared, Following Ye Yu suddenly realized that Acnologia himself is a Dragon Slayer Mage, and he can consume all magic and is immune to all magic.

Although in the original story Acnologia mentioned his attribute was "None,"

Following Ye Yu guesses that Acnologia is actually a Dark Dragon Slayer Mage.

If Acnologia is a Dark Dragon Slayer Mage, once Following Ye Yu collects Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic, he could be like Acnologia: immune to all magic attacks and able to consume all magic.

Of course, whether Following Ye Yu's conjecture is correct still requires an experiment to verify.

Even if Following Ye Yu's guess is wrong, being able to obtain Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic attribute would not be a loss.

"Although it will be troublesome, it's not without a chance!"

Following Ye Yu looked at the massive Acnologia before him and said with a serious expression.

"Natsu, lend me Igneel!"

That's right, Following Ye Yu wants to manifest the Fire Long Wang Igneel to confront Acnologia.

Of course, with Following Ye Yu's current magic power, the Igneel he manifests likely won't even have one-tenth of the original's strength.

But Following Ye Yu doesn't expect the Igneel he manifests to be able to defeat Acnologia.

He only needs to bait Acnologia into using Dragon Slayer Magic.

Without any hesitation, Following Ye Yu immediately cast the 【Corpse History】 magic on Natsu.

As the Corpse History magic was activated, many memory images appeared in Following Ye Yu's mind.

These memory images were all Natsu's memories.

Soon, Following Ye Yu locked his target onto the memories concerning Igneel.

Just like when he manifested Hades before.

Through Natsu's memories of Igneel, Following Ye Yu carved out everything about Igneel in his mind.

Once the image of Igneel was fully imagined, Following Ye Yu directly activated Rustyrose's 【Manifestation Arc】 magic.

Hum—

As the Manifestation Arc magic was activated, a colossal entity appeared in the sky above Following Ye Yu.

It was a dragon.

A dragon with a body that was entirely fire-red.

And this dragon was none other than the Fire Long Wang Igneel.

"Another dragon appeared?"

"What exactly is this?"

Looking at the giant dragon appearing in the sky above Following Ye Yu, the expressions of Erza, Hearing Wendi, and the others all changed.

But Natsu shouted loudly: "Igneel, it's Igneel!"

"Natsu, sorry, this isn't Igneel; this was created by my magic!"

Following Ye Yu said this to Natsu, then his figure flashed, like a teleportation, and he arrived on Igneel's back.

"Is this for real? Following Ye Yu can even create a dragon?"

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Hearing Following Ye Yu's words, Gray and the others were all stunned.

However, Following Ye Yu didn't have time to say much more to them now; after arriving on the back of the manifested Igneel, he directly steered Igneel to fly toward the sky.

"Will he follow?"

Following Ye Yu looked at Acnologia and thought to himself.

If it were the real Igneel, Acnologia would definitely chase after him immediately.

But Following Ye Yu knew that Acnologia could 100% tell that this Igneel was not the real Igneel.

However, Following Ye Yu underestimated Acnologia's desire to slay dragons.

Whether it was a real dragon or a manifested dragon, he wanted to destroy them all.

He even wanted to slay Following Ye Yu, the Dragon Slayer Mage.

"He's coming!"

Seeing that Acnologia really followed, Following Ye Yu's heart stirred, but he wasn't happy.

After all, the opponent is Acnologia; one cannot be careless.

Just like that, Acnologia kept chasing Following Ye Yu and the manifested Igneel, heading all the way in a direction away from Tenrou Island.

Seeing this scene, Erza, Mirajane, and the others were all deeply moved.

Because in their eyes, Following Ye Yu was disregarding his own life to intentionally lure Acnologia away for their sake.

"Following Ye Yu, please don't let anything happen to you!"

"Brother Following Ye Yu!"

Following Ye Yu naturally didn't know what they were thinking; at this moment, he was riding the manifested Igneel, speeding away.

Finally, the constantly pursuing Acnologia lost his patience.

He opened his large mouth and inhaled fiercely.

Hum—

The next second, a pale blue magic light beam containing a destructive aura shot directly toward Following Ye Yu and the manifested Igneel.

Fortunately, Igneel dodged quickly; that massive pale blue magic light beam grazed past Following Ye Yu's side and finally landed on the ocean.

Hum—

At this moment, an incomparably dazzling light bloomed upon the ocean.

At this moment, the world fell into a deathly silence.

But Following Ye Yu knew that behind this silence, destruction was brewing.

Sure enough, a breath later, a terrifying explosion resounded across the entire sky.

Boom—

Powerful firelight spiraled and expanded continuously.

Immediately after, a violent shockwave kicked up giant waves several zhang high, spreading out in all directions.

Erza, Mirajane, and the group on Tenrou Island felt their hearts tremble violently upon hearing this terrifying explosion.

"Following Ye Yu..."

Soon, the terrifying shockwave and giant waves also swept toward Tenrou Island.

Fortunately, Fried's ritual magic blocked the storm and the waves.
