Chapter 115

In other words, in reality, it was just the combined magical power of one S-rank and three A-ranks.

For Jellal, that was barely enough to exchange a couple of moves with himself, and only if Jellal was in a good mood.

However, quite unluckily, ever since Jellal got beaten black and blue over at the Tower of Heaven, his mood had not been pleasant at all, so what followed naturally became simple.

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

Under Jellal's magic — Celestial Magic: Seven Star Sword — the relentless bombardment, the pale cyan magic circle beneath the Bai Hu captain's feet did not hold out for long before shattering with a crash.

"Jellal's strength is still quite strong."

"I think, if we try a little harder, we might be able to become full members."

Lin Cheng strolled leisurely to the battle site.

Looking at the Bai Hu captain and the others collapsed on the ground, already completely knocked unconscious amid the ceaseless bombardment, he smiled slightly and said: "Still, Jellal is unexpectedly a little gentle."

"He didn't actually kill them, and doesn't mind others knowing what he looks like?"

As he spoke, Lin Cheng made a gesture of killing to silence witnesses.

"Hasn't my appearance already been exposed long ago?"

Hearing Lin Cheng's somewhat teasing words, Jellal's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he said calmly: "If you think it might expose the organization's operations, then silence them."

"Also, you're too slow."

Having said that, Jellal no longer paid Lin Cheng any attention, turned around, and walked toward the interior of Gao Ta.

Lin Cheng just smiled at this, glanced at the already unconscious members of the Bai Hu squad, then followed Jellal into the interior of Gao Ta. Lin Cheng couldn't wish more for the infamous reputation of Xiao to spread quickly, so there was naturally no such thing as silencing witnesses.

Lin Cheng was just a little curious that Jellal hadn't killed them all.

Although Jellal had not yet broken free from his former brainwashing, it was obvious that Jellal's temperament had improved somewhat.

Perhaps this proved a certain truth in some way — a brat like Jellal just needs a good beating from society.

There were still a few guards inside Gao Ta.

But the strongest guards were nothing more than the Bai Hu squad outside, and the Bai Hu squad had already been wiped out, so the remaining few guards inside Gao Ta naturally had no room to resist either.

Every single one of them was instantly killed and knocked unconscious by Jellal.

Finally, at the top floor of Gao Ta, what appeared before Lin Cheng and Jellal was a scepter that looked utterly ordinary.

"Is this the so-called Dragon's Cry?"

"Absorbed the resentment of the dragons lost four hundred years ago, possessing terrifying power?"

Looking at the ordinary scepter, Jellal cast a somewhat suspicious glance at Lin Cheng beside him.

This time, Jellal and Lin Cheng's mission was to come to the Jibei region of the Kingdom of Fiore, to retrieve the scepter — Dragon's Cry — that the Kingdom of Fiore kept under strict guard. It was rumored to have absorbed the resentment of dragons that perished four hundred years ago over hundreds of years, containing tremendous energy.

But now, viewing it up close, Jellal felt the scepter before him was truly ordinary, completely unlike what he had imagined — possessing terrifying power enough to change the world.

"Young man, don't be so impetuous."

"As trainee members, we just need to carry out the mission faithfully."

"Moreover, as a trainee member whose qualifications are just a tiny bit older than yours, I still know a little bit of inside information."

After hearing Jellal's question, Lin Cheng shrugged with an indifferent expression, then boldly walked right up to the scepter and took it in his hand.

Tossing the scepter in his hand a couple of times, Lin Cheng looked at Jellal and said with a smile: "Not being able to feel any terrifying magic power or pressure actually proves one thing — the scepter's power has not leaked out at all."

"Just like when we normally use attack magic."

"Looking flashy and earth-shaking — those are signs of power leaking out."

"Only being like this scepter — utterly unremarkable — is the supreme way."

"But inside this is a scepter that houses the dragon race buried by humans, and their anger and resentment toward humans."

"Once the energy inside is drawn out, it will absolutely bring tremendous change to this world."

Regarding Dragon's Cry, Lin Cheng actually knew it quite well.

The original Fairy Tail second movie was precisely about the content of Dragon's Cry.

"The dragon race buried by humans?"

Compared to the scepter, Jellal had heard a term that piqued his interest somewhat.

Although in the world of Fairy Tail there had been no signs of dragon activity for several hundred years, the terror and might of the dragon race — Jellal could still glean fragments of description from occasional historical records he found.

He hadn't expected that the dragons, so terrifying in history, were actually buried by humans?

'Looks like the dragon race isn't all that impressive.'

This thought instinctively surfaced in Jellal's mind.

After all, Jellal had never personally witnessed the terror of the dragon race.

"Feeling like the dragon race isn't strong at all?"

Jellal's expression didn't really hide it, and Lin Cheng quickly sensed Jellal's general thoughts, and laughed: "Your thinking like that is a bit dangerous. The power of the dragon race is far more terrifying than you imagine."

"Oh?"

"You seem to know something again?"

Watching Lin Cheng, who always liked to keep him in suspense before him, Jellal's brow furrowed slightly.

Inside the Wang Gong of the Kingdom of Fiore.

The moment Lin Cheng pulled out the scepter, the king of the Kingdom of Fiore had already received the intelligence.

"Not good!"
