Chapter 525

"Alright, the battle is over."

"Members of Fairy Tail, you are now under arrest in the name of the Royal Knights."

"You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be entered into the kingdom's court as evidence."

"Friendly reminder: this has nothing whatsoever to do with the Fapingyi Society."

The curtain falling on the battle let Ban stretch lazily, then he bent forward and spoke to the people collapsed on the ground before him.

No one knew what fate awaited them, and the Fiore soldiers beside them quickly stepped forward, ready to bind the Fairy Tail members with ropes.

But before they could all spring into action, the earth shook violently within Fiore's royal capital.

Countless dragon roars rose from the ground, spreading out from the direction of their own Wang Gong.

This was a sound that should have been terrifying, yet at this moment it left everyone present with a touch of puzzlement on their faces.

Many people had heard the sound of dragons before, but dragons appearing in this place?

Appearing in the Fiore Kingdom, which could currently be called a great human power? And so many of them at that — for an instant, no one could quite bring themselves to believe it.

And at that very moment, countless black shadows rose from the ground into the sky, the dragon magic on their bodies a riot of colors.

It even lit up more than half of Fiore.

One, two, three, ten... the dragons were already too many to count.

A trace of fear surfaced on Makarov's face — such a number, even in the Dragon King Era more than four hundred years ago.

Probably amounted to no more than this. But why had so many dragons appeared now, why in this era?

Makarov's gaze immediately fell on the members of the Seven Deadly Sins not far away, and a surge of anger began to build in his eyes.

"You bastards!"

"Is this your objective? Do you have any idea how many ordinary people are in this entire royal capital!"

"Do you know how many will die because of this?"

A low, furious snarl came from Makarov's mouth as he faced these otherworlders before him.

He no longer held an attitude of reverence; what he felt now was more hatred — hatred and disgust for this group of otherworlders.

But what could he do? On the faces of the six members of the Seven Deadly Sins Knights, there was no great change of expression.

"Old man, don't talk nonsense — this isn't our doing."

Ban shook his head, and his second magic skill activated directly.

The magic he had previously absorbed was returned to the Fairy Tail members before him, and at the same time the six figures began to move.

"Make good use of your time to escape — no one in the entire royal capital will die."

"Our greatest mage has already transferred every person inside the royal capital out in advance."

As the few of them looked up at the sky with relaxed expressions, a smile also tugged at the corner of Mariner's mouth as she held her crystal orb nearby.

Lin Cheng, who had been controlling all of this from afar in advance, had long prepared for the arrival of the Dragon King Era.

Everyone inside the royal capital who lacked the ability to protect themselves had been teleported out by Mariner using an extraordinarily powerful compound spell.

As for some of the people inside the Wang Gong, they had likewise been teleported out in this manner.

After all, Lin Cheng was not a heartless demon; even though he was pulling strings behind the scenes.

He would not simply stand by and watch Fiore's royal capital be destroyed, leaving tens of thousands homeless, or dying right before the dragons.

"What! It wasn't something you people caused?"

"Then... who could it be..."

Makarov's expression froze for a moment, and a flush of shame quickly spread across his face.
