Chapter 444

"Roar!"

The scales on Igneel's chest were instantly torn apart, and a sensation as though his very flesh were being corroded spread throughout his entire body.

But beneath the searing pain, what he gained in exchange was not the loss of his will to resist.

Rather, it roused a streak of bloodlust in Igneel, the Fire Dragon King whose temper was already explosively hot.

His ferocious, blood-filled maw opened wide and bit directly onto Acnologia's shoulder.

Bringing with it flames akin to purgatory itself, he began to continuously sear Acnologia's flesh.

The two dragons, like wild beasts, began to tear at each other in midair.

The Blue-Eyed White Dragon, beating its wings high in the sky, saw this.

Without the slightest hesitation, a flash of white light began to flicker and build within its mouth.

Like that ultimate beam of white light within the black of night, it contained energy sufficient to shatter the heavens and destroy the earth.

It surged straight forward, and in but an instant it seemed as though it would shatter the surrounding space itself.

The place it aimed at was, unmistakably, the position where Acnologia and Igneel were grappling.

If the two dragons were still tearing at each other when this strike landed, they would likely both be pierced through.

Igneel's eyes flickered slightly, but in the next instant, a glint of resolve flashed through them.

"Perhaps dragging this fellow down to hell with me isn't a bad choice!"

Ferocious flames erupted from Igneel's body, and his two claws gripped Acnologia in a death hold.

But at this moment, Acnologia did not comply with Igneel's wish.

Knowing full well that he would surely come out the worse for it, he absolutely would not trade his life for Igneel's.

His figure immediately flipped in midair, and his blood-filled maw bit off one of Igneel's arms in a single snap.

At the same time, he discarded one of his own dragon wings, putting distance between himself and Igneel.

"Bang!"

The destructive white light unleashed by the Blue-Eyed White Dragon struck the ground, and in an instant a mushroom cloud was blasted into existence.

Violent tremors began to spread throughout this entire space.

Makarov and the others, who had already arrived near the battlefield via teleportation magic, found their pupils dilating uncontrollably in shock.

As for the legends of dragons, these older generation figures had long possessed a considerable understanding of them.

But no one could have imagined that a single, simple breath from a giant dragon could truly be enough to destroy a town, or even an entire country.

"Is this... the power of dragons..."

"This... is this truly an enemy we can resist?"

Jura's face went deathly pale. As a Wizard Saint, his originally powerful self-confidence had already been tottering under the weight of those strange organizations—the Monu Sect, the Akatsuki, the Whitebeard Pirates, the World Government, the Jikending Society.

Now, having witnessed the terror of dragons with his own eyes, that portion of self-confidence belonging to a Wizard Saint had already vanished without a trace.

And at this moment, the battle between the three dragons had not yet fully concluded.

Igneel had already begun plummeting downward like a kite with its string cut.

Just as he was about to crash into the ground, a colossal dragon wreathed in crimson flames caught Igneel's falling body.

It cast a glance at the Blue-Eyed White Dragon and Acnologia not far away.

With a single spread of its wings, it was already far away—so fast that it vanished from sight in an instant.

"Another dragon?"

"How is this possible... creatures that haven't appeared in hundreds of years are all showing up in this stretch of time..."

"An aura extremely similar to Igneel's..."

Acnologia did not rush to pursue Igneel at this point. After their exchange just now,

he already knew that Igneel's days were numbered.

His original body had likely long since perished, and presently he was merely holding on by a sliver of Long Zhili.

Therefore, Igneel had lost the interest of being destroyed by him.

Rather, it was the Blue-Eyed White Dragon before him that was more worthy of his destruction.

"Black Dragon's Roar!"

A massive black energy bullet was blasted forth from Acnologia's mouth.

It flew swiftly toward the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, and the surrounding magic, sensing the power of this origin of evil, began to give way.

Along with it, the group of Wizard Saints below—hailed as the strongest of Ishgar—also began to tremble all over.

"Roar!"

The Blue-Eyed White Dragon let out an enraged roar and immediately countered with its destructive white light.

The collision of one black and one white beam instantly turned the original colors of this stretch of heaven and earth into black and white.

The appearance of a tremendous explosion and mushroom cloud caused the ground to violently shatter apart.

Countless craters appeared across the surrounding edges.

And accompanying the massive explosion, Acnologia's attack this time had already been unleashed with everything he had.

Its might surpassed even that of the destructive white light by a notch.

The Blue-Eyed White Dragon was also swept up by this terrifying momentum, and the pure white scales on its body began to shatter one after another.

Countless streams of fresh blood flowed out from beyond the scales, and its aura also became somewhat listless.

"Is a single Blue-Eyed White Dragon still a bit too much of a stretch against Acnologia..."

Lin Cheng, who was controlling all of this from afar, looked at the Blue-Eyed White Dragon whose situation had already grown somewhat perilous, and not only did he not worry,

he did not recall the Blue-Eyed White Dragon either; instead, a hint of a smile even surfaced at the corner of his mouth.

"Although I don't know where you've come from, fellow."

"But as long as it's a dragon, it can't possibly be my opponent!"
