Chapter 373

At the same time, the heavy Eclipse Gate also slowly opened under Princess Hisui's command.

Boom—

Accompanied by a loud noise, the pair of massive doors were opened, and incomparably dazzling light poured out from within.

Princess Hisui and the kingdom's soldiers looked at the opened doors, their faces all showing joy.

After all, they were all thinking that once the Eclipse Gate opened, the 10,000 dragons invading the Kingdom of Fiore would be annihilated.

And their country would be saved.

But soon, something unexpected happened.

A black shadow, as massive as a mountain, slowly walked out from the dazzling white light.

The moment that massive shadow stepped out of the Eclipse Gate, the smiles on Princess Hisui and the kingdom's soldiers' faces vanished instantly, replaced by terror and despair.

Because they saw a dragon.

A giant dragon that was entirely white, with its whole body covered in marble-like patterns.

The giant dragon was so tall.

In front of this giant dragon, Princess Hisui and the kingdom's soldiers were as small as ants.

"How could this be..."

"Why are dragons walking out of the gate?"

"Things shouldn't be like this?!"

Arcadios looked at the giant dragon, his eyes flickering, his expression changing, his mind constantly thinking.

According to what Princess Hisui said, this Eclipse Gate should have been a weapon to help them annihilate 10,000 dragons.

But right now, the dragons capable of destroying the entire world were walking out of the Eclipse Gate.

Even if Arcadios were calm, his mind was buzzing at this moment.

He subconsciously glanced at Princess Hisui in front of him.

At this time, Princess Hisui was already pale with fright, her delicate body trembling constantly.

Her mind was a complete blank.

Roar—

Soon, the giant dragon that walked out of the Eclipse Gate roared toward the sky.

Perhaps for this giant dragon, her roar was just a greeting to this world.

But the moment her roar sounded, a soul-stirring sound wave, mixed with violent air currents, started from the Eclipse Gate and spread out like Wi-Fi.

Hum—

Under the impact of this terrifying air current, the bluestone slabs in front of the Eclipse Gate were all blown away.

And the surrounding kingdom soldiers were also swept away along with those bluestone slabs.

Only Arcadios, who was slightly stronger, desperately protected Princess Hisui, ensuring she wasn't harmed by the terrifying air current.

"What's going on? This sound?"

At this moment, the mages like Jura and others gathered in the center of the capital, upon hearing this terrifying roar, all had solemn expressions.

Perhaps ordinary mages couldn't tell what was making the roar.

But Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, and the other Dragon Slayers raised by dragons knew instantly upon hearing the roar that it was made by a dragon.

"Dragon!"

Sting, Rogue, and Gajeel all said in deep voices simultaneously.

And Makarov, Levy, and the other Fairy Tail members who had seen Acnologia on Tenrou Island also guessed that the roar was made by a dragon.

"Has it finally appeared?"

The old King naturally knew about the 10,000 dragons about to invade the Kingdom of Fiore.

Hearing the roar now, he knew the Dragon King Festival had begun.

He first glanced at where the Eclipse Gate was, then walked to the high platform in the square and said loudly to the mages like Makarov and Jura in the square: "Fellow mages, we are the King of the Kingdom of Fiore!"

"Now I tell everyone a..."

Subsequently, the old King told Makarov and the others about the 10,000 dragons invading the Kingdom of Fiore.

Due to the dragon's roar just now, Makarov, Jura, and the other mages had no doubts about the old King's words.

When the old King asked everyone if they were willing to help the Kingdom of Fiore overcome this crisis,

all the mages answered in unison that they were willing.

After all, they were all citizens of the Kingdom of Fiore.

Furthermore, with 10,000 dragons, the entire world would likely be destroyed.

Even if they wanted to run, there was nowhere to run.

Subsequently, Makarov, Jura, Laxus, and the other mages, organized by guild, marched toward where the Eclipse Gate was.

…………

…………

While the mages from Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, and other guilds were walking toward the Eclipse Gate, giant dragons were walking out of the Eclipse Gate one after another.

In the original story, Lucy still dared to try to close the Eclipse Gate.

But now that Lucy wasn't there, Princess Hisui and the kingdom's army were already scared silly; how could they dare to do anything else?

They could only watch helplessly as those giant dragons walked out of the Eclipse Gate.

One!

Two!

However, in just half a minute, over a dozen giant dragons had already walked out of the Eclipse Gate.

The dragons that came out first had already begun to trample the earth.

Perhaps for these dragons, they were just walking casually.

But with every step they took, the earth shook along with them.

And when their massive bodies touched houses and buildings, those buildings collapsed one after another.

Among them, there was a Hellfire Dragon covered in crimson flames, walking through the palace.

The temperature of the surrounding air climbed sharply.

And everything touched by those crimson flames turned to ash.

"Very good, very good!"

"A few more, and soon I will be able to dominate the entire world!"

Just as Princess Hisui and the kingdom's army were in despair, the future Rogue, who had moved over as a shadow, watched the giant dragons walking out of the Eclipse Gate, his heart filled with joy.

"That person, it was that person who told me the Eclipse Gate could annihilate the dragon swarm!"

Watching the future Rogue walk over, Princess Hisui, who had been in despair, said with a look of despair and annoyance.

"Yo, idiot princess, I should thank you for helping me open the Eclipse Gate; otherwise, these dragons wouldn't have been liberated, and my plan wouldn't have been realized!"

The future Rogue looked at Princess Hisui, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc, and said mockingly.

"So it was you, this guy, who deceived the Princess!"

Hearing Arcadios's words, Princess Hisui's small face turned deathly pale, and Arcadios was furious.

He drew his long sword and charged toward the future Rogue.

But before Arcadios could get close to the future Rogue, those giant dragons walking in the palace and circling in the sky all flew toward where the future Rogue was.

Eventually, those giant dragons all gathered behind the future Rogue.

And the future Rogue shouted in ecstasy: "My era has arrived!"_
