Outside the Dark Mage Guild's Demon Heart spaceship.
After handing over the task of eliminating Fairy Tail, the "Magician Guild," to Ivan, Old Pu threw him off the spaceship.
He then led his truly trustworthy subordinates and flew towards the Dark Magisters Guild, the Gates of the Underworld, with which he had formed an alliance.
Even Old Pu knew that with the current size of Fairy Tail guild, he alone was powerless to fight against it.
"Damn it."
On the ground, Ivan watched the Devil Heart spaceship depart, seething with anger but helpless.
After a long silence, he muttered to himself, "To defeat Fairy Tail, the Mage Guild, I alone am not enough. I need more help."
"But there aren't many ally on the entire continent who can help me keep Fairy Tail in check."
"By the way, I remember my dad saying that he once offended the leader of the Phantom Lords. Maybe I can try to win him over to help me."
"That guy is one of the Ten Archmages of the Holy Realm. Even if he's not strong enough, he should still be able to put up some decent fighting power."
Ivan vaguely remembered that his father, Makarov, had once told them in a boastful tone that Makarov had once beaten up Joseph Pora, the guild leader of the Phantom Lords, a mage guild that was also one of the "Ten Holy Ones," at a gathering of the "Ten Holy Ones."
This incident has become the breakthrough point for Ivan to form an "anti-Fairy Tail" alliance.
"It's settled then."
After realizing that his plan was feasible, Ivan made up his mind and headed towards the Kingdom of Fiore.
On the spaceship.
"Lord Hades, Ivan is Makarov's son. Is he truly worthy of your trust?"
A young girl in a long black dress stood in front of Precito, looking meaningfully at the old Precito on the throne, and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, Faris."
Upon hearing this, Old Pu waved his hand gently at the girl and said calmly, "Ivan is just a pawn in my game. The one who can truly help us keep Fairy Tail in check is ourselves."
Old Pu paused slightly, remaining silent for a while before turning to the talented dark magic girl named Faris and asking, "Falis, have you successfully contacted the Gates of the Underworld and the Dark Magic Order, as I asked you to?!"
"Dear Professor Precito, I have informed them of the alliance as you requested."
"And they agreed to hold the first gathering of the Dark Lords in the Kingdom of Stra a week later."
Faris spoke respectfully to Old P.
"That's good."
Precito nodded slightly. To deal with Fairy Tail, the Mage Guild, he would need the power of the Dark Magic Order and Tartaros.
If Precito can obtain the Dark Magic Order's "Spirit Summoning Ritual" and the "Hell Core" of the Gates of Tartaros, he can summon all eighteen Demon Gods through the power of the "Pseudo-Infinite Magic Source," which is also the culmination of his Dark Magic techniques, the "Demon Heart."
With the help of these eighteen "Heavenly King" level Great Demons, destroying the Fairy Tail guild and defeating the inherently evil Makarov should be a piece of cake.
"Makarov, struggle with all your might while I prepare for this séance!"
Precito muttered to himself, a hint of confidence in his eyes. As the man in the entire world of Esland who was closest to the Dark Mage Zeref in the realm of dark magic, he was confident that he could completely crush that "young punk" Makarov.
Well, the only person who would call a nearly 90-year-old man like Old Putin, an old monster over 100 years old, would probably call a nearly 90-year-old man like Old Putin.
"...
Faris, as Precito's protégé, stood beside him and smiled without saying a word.
She thought to herself that after a few years, once she had completely drained Old Pu of all his knowledge, she would kill him herself to prove her "black magic" method.
"Hahaha."
For a moment, Precito and Faris, the master and apprentice with their own ulterior motives, burst into unrestrained laughter.
Unfortunately, both Precht and Faris clearly underestimated the strength of Fairy Tail, the magic guild. While Precht was preparing his "demon-slaying tools," Fairy Tail was growing stronger at an almost supernatural rate.
the other side.
Magnolia town.
Fairy Tail, the Magician's Guild.
"Id, with our current strength, we have clearly reached the pinnacle of the Ishgar continent! I suppose even Guild Master Prehito is only on par with us."
Gildarts looked at Id with some distress, his words filled with confusion, worry, and a hint of pride about his future in the magic path.
"What are our strengths compared to yours?"
"True strength, at least to the level of Eileen, isn't it?"
"Id complained."
"Isn't Eileen a bit too far behind us?"
Gildarts's words carried a hint of embarrassment. Before he reached the "Strong Shield," he viewed Eileen as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. After reaching the "Strong Shield," he found that the gap between him and Eileen had not narrowed. On the contrary, due to the enhancement of his perception, he could clearly feel Eileen's strength and thus clearly recognize the gap between him and Eileen, like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
"Alright."
"Stop dawdling."
"Just tell me what's wrong."
Seeing Gildarts's grimace, Id frowned and urged him on.
"Let's go and complete this century-old mission, Id."
Gildarts grinned and pulled a crumpled mission sheet from his pocket.
This is the quest sheet that has been buried deep in the quest board since the Fairy Tail guild of Magisters was founded.
It is said to be the ultimate mission in the history of mages, a mission that no one has been able to complete in the past "hundred years".
Whoever completes the "Centennial Mission" will become a myth and legend standing at the pinnacle of the Ishgar continent and even the magical world of Esland.
Are you serious?
Ide's eyes twitched slightly. He didn't know why, but he felt that there was something ominous hidden in this "century-old mission".
"Of course I'm serious."
Kyldas nodded repeatedly.
"I'll think about it."
Ide reached out and gently rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
"A century-long mission?"
"That's interesting."
Just as Id was pondering, Serena, the "god" with a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), appeared behind Id and Gildarts at some point. He looked at the "Hundred-Year Mission" list in Gildarts' hand with a slight upturn of his lips, appearing quite interested.
"Let's embark on this century-long mission together, Master Id."
After thinking for a moment, Serena immediately made a request to Id.
Id remained silent, still deep in thought.
Please.
Serena squatted on the ground, hugging Id's leg, pleading with Id like a child throwing a tantrum at his parents.
"Ugh."
"Let's go take a look."
Ide sighed and said helplessly.
Thus, the trio of Ido, Serena, and Gildarts, who stood at the pinnacle of the Fairy Tail guild, finally united.
As is well known, each trio consists of a steady leader, Id, an action-oriented individual, Serena, and an idea genius, Gildarts.
"So, where is this so-called century-long mission, which no one has been able to complete in the past hundred years, located?!"
After agreeing to Gildarts and Serena's request, Id asked the two of them.
"In the northern continent of Giltina."
Gildarts answered truthfully.
"The Northern Continent?"
Ide's pupils flickered slightly. Although he had never been to the Northern Continent, he had been to the Western Continent and knew exactly how far apart the various continents of the world of Eslanden were.
"This so-called century-long mission, just the distance alone has nearly barred all mages below the 'Ten Saints' level from completing it. No wonder no one has been able to finish it in the past hundred years."
Ide couldn't help but complain.
"So when do we set off?"
Serena, the "god," couldn't help but ask a question.
"Now."
"Kildas said eagerly."
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Serena nodded slightly, a rare occurrence in which he agreed with Gildarts's idea.
"Yeah, right."
Id rejected Gildarts and Serena's suggestion, and held up his finger, saying seriously, "Let's go find Irene to give us a buff."
"Huh?!"
Gildass and Serena were taken aback, seemingly not understanding what Id meant.
"Just come with me."
Ide sighed and led Gildarts and Serena toward the flower shop run by Irene.
"Erza? Ultear?"
"Why are you two here?"
"Where did your mother, Eileen, and Uru go?!"
"I have something very important that I want to discuss with them."
After pushing open the door of the flower shop, Ido saw Erza and Ultear patiently watering the bright flowers while helping Erin mind the shop. He asked his two lovely daughters what they were doing.
"Father."
"My mother is playing mahjong upstairs."
She said she was determined to become Magnolia's number one "Mahjong Goddess".
Hearing the voice behind her, Erza immediately turned around. When she saw that it was her father, Ido, she first gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and then answered truthfully.
"Well."
Are you still playing?
Id was somewhat ashamed.
As a Dragon Slayer Mage who has mastered the "Dragon Seed," Irene's body has been completely transformed into a dragon. She will not feel tired until she has consumed a great deal of magic power, so she does not need to sleep.
So, in order to help Eileen pass the time, Ide promoted "Mahjong," a game that was incredibly popular for killing time.
So much so that after Eileen learned how to play "Mahjong," she lost interest in sleeping altogether.
Every day, I'm either setting up a mahjong game or on my way to set up a mahjong game.
Eileen: "Before learning the game of 'Mahjong,' I had never felt so happy that I didn't have to sleep."
"I'll go check the second floor."
After giving instructions to Gildarts and "God" Serena, Idart immediately headed upstairs.
"Damn it!"
As soon as Ide went up to the second floor, before he could even push open the door to the room that Eileen used to play mahjong, he heard Eileen's voice coming from inside.
"Ugh."
Ide sighed softly and silently pushed open the door to enter.
Beside the mahjong table, Eileen, Cornelia, and the wives of Wakaba and Macao were all intently watching the tiles in their hands, their battle incredibly intense and fierce.
"That Eileen."
"Kildas, Serena, and I are planning to team up to take on the legendary century-old quest, so there's something we'd like to ask you for help with."
Ide looked at Eileen, who was sitting at the mahjong table, engaged in a fierce battle with others, and spoke softly.
"A century-long mission?!"
Eileen, who had been staring at the mahjong tiles in her hand, stopped drawing tiles after hearing what Ide said. She looked up at Ide, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"Yes."
Ide nodded slightly, indicating that Eileen had not misheard; he did indeed intend to take on the century-old mission.
"That task was incredibly difficult."
Eileen lowered her voice and said in a deep voice.
"That's what makes it challenging."
Id explained with a smile.
"Okay, okay."
"I respect your wishes."
Eileen remained silent for a long while, gave Id a deep look, and nodded, saying, "I know that even if I don't let you go, you won't be able to put up with it. In that case, it's fine to let you go and take a look."
"But as Irene said this, she put down the cards in her hand and walked directly to Ide. She reached out and lifted Ide's chin, her eyes full of flirtation, and said with a smile, "How about I help you out? I've given you a high-level teleportation spell. If you encounter an enemy that could endanger your life, it will forcibly take you away."
"I have come here to ask you, Eileen, to enchant me with a high-level teleportation spell."
Id smiled, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Could you please help me cast a high-level teleportation spell on Gildarts and Serena as well?"
"It has already been added."
A few points of starlight flickered on Eileen's fingers, and several enchantments immediately landed on Id and Gildarts and Serena, who were waiting downstairs.
After casting the enchantment, Eileen said irritably, "You only come to me when you need something from me."
Where can I find it?
"Thank you so much, Eileen."
After giving Eileen a light hug, Id turned around and prepared to run away.
"Id, never forget."
"Your life doesn't belong to you alone anymore. Don't die easily before you help me turn back into a human."
Eileen watched Id leave, offering her advice as she did so.
"Don't worry, I won't—"
Ide paused, a sudden realization creeping into his silence. Something about what he'd just said didn't sound right. He was simply embarking on a century-long mission; why set such a dangerous hurdle?
"Anyway, everything will be alright."
Ide smiled slightly at Eileen, then turned and went downstairs.
"Ugh."
Eileen watched Ide's departing figure and sighed helplessly. Ide was already so old, yet he was still so troublesome. Fortunately, with her additional spell, he should be able to survive in front of those dragons without much trouble.
With that thought in mind, Eileen turned around and looked at Cornelia and the other two in the room, saying softly, "Let the battle continue."
"oh."
Cornelia and the other two immediately echoed this.
"Oh, right."
"Cornelia."
"Kildarts is downstairs right now, aren't you going to go see him?"
Eileen sat back down at the card table and asked Cornelia.
Yes, Cornelia missed her daughter Kana so much that she moved back to the town of Magnolia from the city where she used to live.
"There's absolutely no need for that."
Cornelia shook her head slightly, appearing indifferent.
However, her furrowed brows revealed that she was not at peace.
"Set off."
After successfully receiving Eileen's blessing, Ide used remote communication magic to contact Uru, who was on a mission outside, and informed him that he, Gildarts, and Serena were going to the Northern Continent of Giltina to challenge the century-old mission.
After giving Id a few instructions, Uru stopped trying to persuade him.
With all preparations complete, Id shouted eagerly towards the north, "It's time to bring some shock from the Fairy Tail guild to the Northern Continent's Giltina!"
"oh!"
The moment Id finished speaking, Gildarts and Serena immediately waved in agreement.
And so, Id, Gildarts, and Serena embarked on their journey.
A century-long mission.
This is the most difficult mission in the history of the world of Esland, which is said to have been impossible to complete for a hundred years, and no one has even survived the mission.
the other side.
A week after Id, Gildarts, and Serena teamed up to take on the century-old quest, Precht learned of the news. A slight smirk played on his lips as he scoffed, "Has Makarov lost his mind? He actually chose to cut off his own limbs?"
"However, this is extremely advantageous to us, as Fairy Tail is currently exceptionally weak."
"So, what's your decision? Are you prepared to cooperate with me?"
In a Dark Mage Guild stronghold in the Kingdom of Stra, Precht spoke coldly to "Hades" Maldo Gil, who sat before him, and the Archbishop of the Dark Magic Order.
"hehe."
"Of course we should cooperate."
"Moreover, being able to cooperate with Lord Zeref's outstanding disciple is an excellent opportunity for me."
Maldo Gil chuckled coldly, nodded slightly to Precito, raised his wine glass, and downed the wine in one gulp to show his respect for the old man.
I agree.
When the archbishop of the Black Magic Order saw that even "Hades" Maldo Gil, a great demon who could rival the eighteen demon warriors who were his trump cards, had agreed to ally with Prehito, he nodded without hesitation.
Well, although this archbishop of the Black Magic Order, who wore a thick iron mask, was the weakest of the three present in terms of strength.
He was even inferior to the subordinates of Old Pu and Maldo Gil, and his strength was only barely above the threshold of the "Ten Saints".
However, he had the most followers among the three major forces present, covering almost the entire continent of Ishgar, which is why he was qualified to be recruited by Old Pra.
"hehe."
"You guys know what's good for you."
Old Pu gave a cold laugh, raised his glass, and said in a deep voice, "Let's drink to the greater good."
"Cheers!"
Upon seeing this, Maldo Gil and the Archbishop of the Black Magic Order echoed each other's sentiments.
Thus, the Alabam Alliance was officially established.
the other side.
Deep in a forest.
"Go Elfman!"
"I believe you can control yourself."
Mirajane looked at Elfman, who had forcibly received the Beastmaster's Soul, and shouted anxiously.
"roar!!"
Unfortunately, Elfman was completely blinded by the tyrannical power. His eyes flashed with bloodlust as he roared at Mirajane and his sister Lisana.
"hateful."
Seeing that Elfman had completely lost his mind, Mirajane bit her lip helplessly. With a helpless expression, she could only continue to receive the "Demon Soul," transforming into a demon and fiercely fighting against Elfman, who was nearly ten meters tall and as large as a three-story building.
"boom!!"
Given Mirajane's strength, as a mage who had already stepped into the threshold of the "Ten Saints" in terms of magic, it should have been an overwhelming victory against Elfman, a mage who had not even touched the edge of the "Ten Saints".
The problem is that Mirajane is hesitant to fight because his opponent is his own younger brother.
Furthermore, with the help of the Beastmaster's Soul, Elfman's magic power once surged to the limit that his body could currently withstand.
With this addition and subtraction, Mirajane and Elfman were evenly matched for a short period of time.
"That's enough!"
"I've said enough!"
"Wake up, Elfman!"
When Elfman unleashed another powerful punch, sending Mirajane flying and nearly hitting Lisa in the distance, Mirajane finally snapped. She crossed her arms in front of her and roared, "Soul Tearer!"
"boom!!"
As a magic circle with a diameter of over ten meters slowly formed in front of Mirajane, hundreds of magical beams roared out from the magic circle and slammed directly into Elfman's body.
It's important to know that each of these beams of light is enough to shatter an ordinary $-level magical beast into dust. This is one of the reasons why Mirajane has never dared to use it on Elfman; she is simply too powerful.
Fortunately, the Beast King Soul within Elfman is powerful enough. It far surpasses ordinary $-level magical beasts and its strength has reached the level of S$-level magical beasts. If given more time to grow, it may even reach the level of the "Ten-Year Mission".
"boom!!"
"roar!!"
In an instant, the deafening roar of the light cannon and the mournful howl of the Beast King's soul within Elfman echoed throughout the entire forest.
The ordeal only ended when Mirajane's magic blasted a crater over a hundred meters in diameter into the forest.
As for the will of the Beast King's soul within Elfman, it was finally subdued by Mirajane, who completely acknowledged Elfman as its master and returned control of Elfman's body to Elfman.
Beast King's Soul: "I don't want to surrender either, but the problem is, if I don't surrender, this woman is really going to beat me."
"Buzz".
It was after the Beast King's Soul was subdued that Elfman withdrew from receiving magic. He staggered and fell to the ground, completely unconscious due to excessive magic consumption.
"Is Elfman alright?"
Lisana, hundreds of meters away, looked at her brother Elfman lying on the ground and couldn't help but ask her sister Mirajane, who was standing next to her.
"It's not a big problem."
"Elfman is tough and resilient; how could he possibly be injured?"
Mirajane shook his head, a confident look on his face. "Buzz!"
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
The once clear sky was suddenly torn open without warning, revealing a huge gash. The cracked passage led nowhere, filling the air with an unsettling atmosphere.
As for Elfman, who had already exhausted his magic and had no energy left, he seemed to be locked onto by the torn sky. His body turned into specks of light and floated directly towards the passage in the sky.
"Brother Elfman, what's wrong?!"
Lisana looked at Elfman, whose body was out of control and floating towards the sky, her eyes slightly moist, and asked with some emotion.
"What's going on?"
Mirajane wanted to do something, but before she could get close to Elfman, she suddenly realized that her body seemed to be drawn to the cracked sky as well.
Not only that, even Lisana's body seemed to have undergone some kind of change, drawn in by the torn sky.
Damn it.
Mirajane cursed and mobilized the last of her magic power to receive the demon's soul once more. She first picked up Lisana beside her, and then rushed towards Elfman, who was being pulled into the air by that special power.
"Buzz!"
Unfortunately, before Mirajane could even touch Elfman's body, she was forced to exit the "Demon Soul" receiving mode due to exhaustion of both physical strength and magic, and thus fell from mid-air.
"No!"
Mirajane mustered her last strength to lift her head and look up at the sky. She watched as her brother Elfman was about to be swallowed by the gaping hole in the sky. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and she let out a hoarse roar.
"Buzz!"
Just as Mirajane's expression was turning increasingly desperate, she and Lisana, who had fallen from mid-air, did not plummet into the deep mountains, but instead landed in a warm and comforting embrace.
"Master?!"
When Mirajane and Lisana were slightly startled and looked at the owner of the broad chest, they were immediately taken aback.
They saw a colossal beast, a hundred meters long, its entire body shimmering with fluorescent green light, carefully carrying the two of them, its gaze fixed on Elfman in the sky.
Yes, the person who came was none other than Ulfheim, who had accompanied him all the way because he was worried about his three apprentices.
"That's some kind of other-dimensional super magic."
Ulfheim immediately saw through the true nature of the magic that tore the sky apart and sneered, "Whoever you are, you dare to set your sights on my disciple?! I think you have a death wish."
"boom!"
After saying this, Ulfheim lightly leaped into the sky, easily saving Elfman who was about to be absorbed by the "Dimensional Teleportation Magic," and then punched the sky with his backhand.
In an instant, the sky trembled, and the "dimensional teleportation magic" was shattered by Ulfheim. The terrifying shockwave spread out in all directions, stirring up the clouds within a ten-mile radius.
This is the true strength of a "Heavenly King" level mage, like a living natural disaster walking among humans.
The world of Edolas.
Inside the royal palace, the capital of the human empire.
"The hundredth time I attempted the 'Super Subspace Distortion Magic' experiment on my soul, it failed."
King Faust of the Human Empire sat quietly on his throne, a symbol of his supreme power, listening indifferently to the report from his magical researchers. His perpetually taut poker face made it impossible to discern his inner emotions.
"Continue the experiment."
"Until success."
Faust said coldly.
"Yes, ma'am."
The magic researcher breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that he had not been punished by Faust.
"You have two more chances. If you fail to succeed in both attempts, then you can disappear."
But just as the researcher finally relaxed, Fauwangt's voice continued to ring in his ears.
"Well."
The researcher's expression suddenly changed, revealing despair.
"I've got it."
"My empire needs no trash."
After King Fau finished speaking, he looked at the minister of the Human Empire beside him and asked, "Bairo, answer me immediately: I have given you 10 years, and you still haven't found any trace of that brat Geral?"
"Your Majesty, I am very sorry. We have searched the entire world of King Edela, but have not found any trace of the Jellal Blanket. Everything here points to something amiss. The Jellal Blanket may no longer be in our world, but has gone to—"
The minister and chief of staff of the Carpet Kingdom, Bairo, an old man with a face covered in wrinkles, gave a disgusting smile and answered truthfully.
"hehe?"
"I see, that really does seem to be his modus operandi."
"Okay, I understand."
"From now on, you don't need to keep an eye on that brat Gerald anymore. Focus on the experiments!"
"I will absolutely allow magic to dry up in the world of King Edla, and I will stop at nothing to achieve it."
"Fauwangt said in a cold voice."
"Yes, ma'am."
"My beloved Majesty the National Carpet King."
Bayro still wore that nauseating smile, and he bowed slightly to Faust on the rug as a sign of respect.
The other side.
Before I knew it, another month had passed.
The year is April of X782.
After nearly a week, Id, King Gilda, and the "God" Arena finally arrived at Giltina, a northern continent far away from the continent of Ibergal.
"Next, we're going to the legendary Dragon Array, the world's first and only guild of mage priests."
"Only after we arrive there will we know the true nature of the so-called 'Centennial Sigh'!"
King Gilda, holding a map, strode forward with Id and "God" Arena.
"Ugh, this is so annoying."
"I really want to fight."
Arena followed behind King Gilda, grumbling. He didn't want to hurry at all; he just wanted to know who his enemy was, defeat him completely, and finish his mission so he could go back to the guild for an ice-cold beer.
"Me neither."
Coincidentally, Id thought the same thing.
"arrive."
King Gilda, accompanied by Id and Alena, traveled nearly a hundred miles through the winding paths of the northern continent of Giltina. Finally, on a desolate hill surrounded by mountains, they spotted the trail of the Dragon of Magic, a guild that was founded decades earlier than Fairy Tail and was hailed as the world's first magic guild.
That was a giant castle that looked even more "weathered" than their mage guild, Fairy Tail. Above the castle was a lifelike dragon sculpture, and beneath the dragon lay the ruins of the walls.
Wow!
"It's rare to see a building that's even more dilapidated than our guild's; it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time."
Serena chimed in with a dissenting comment.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Ide curled his lip. Although what Alena said was true, if President Ma Guiluojing heard it, he would probably start complaining about being poor again.
L, however, believes their guild needs rebuilding; at least three or five or six stories would be enough. "Are there really people working here?"
King Kilda looked at the dilapidated castle before him, and even he became somewhat certain. If there was no one inside the castle, then how could they not have escaped?
"There are 'people' here."
"If he can still be called a 'person'."
Id shook his head, and his Observation Haki was activated in an instant, allowing him to take in the entire scene inside the castle.
As for the people, Id didn't see any, but he did see a giant dragon lying on the second floor of the castle, peering out.
"Master Yide, what do you mean by this?!"
Arena asked Id.
"There is a headless dragon inside."
Idris explained.
"You mean there's a giant dragon inside?"
Serena's lips curled into a slight smile. He gently stretched his neck and chuckled, "Haha, then what are we waiting for?"
"If you don't look, that giant dragon will have eaten our client! I, L, don't care about you guys, I'm going first!"
As Trena spoke, the magic power within his body surged wildly, and the four Dragon Slayer Crystals were used to their fullest potential in an instant.
The four magical waves—thunder, water, fire, and energy—almost evolved into all the fury of the sky.
"Alena, you can't wait any longer."
"You have no idea how strong the dragon really is. How can we dare to act so recklessly?"
Id shook his head repeatedly. Although he had never witnessed the power of a dragon, he had witnessed the power of Eileen in her dragon form, so he imagined all dragons to be beings equal to Eileen.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, Id's words came too late; before he could speak, Aleena had already rushed to the castle.
Without a word, Serena threw a punch that destroyed the entire wall of the castle.
At the same time the castle walls crumbled, the giant dragon that had been coiled on the second floor of the castle was exposed to everyone.
"Hahaha!"
"As expected, there is a dragon."
Arena looked at the giant dragon, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"wait."
"Please wait a moment."
"I am your enemy."
Unlike Arenar, whose eyes were filled with fighting spirit, the dragon's eyes revealed fear and confusion. Suddenly, it opened its blood-red maw and spoke in human language, trying to stop Arenar's actions.
"Go to hell!"
Unfortunately, Aleñá completely ignored the dragon's words. He channeled his dark magic and, like lightning, charged directly in front of the dragon. Then, he viciously swung his fist towards the dragon's head, roaring, "Four Dragons!!"
"boom!!"
Accompanied by four magical waves of lightning, fire, rage, and the ocean, the dragon, which was incredibly powerful and exuding a strong sense of oppression just moments before, was knocked to the ground by Arena and vomited blood.
"Your son, right?"
"Is this just for show?"
Ide stared in disbelief at the dragon that had been knocked to the ground by Aleena. He could feel the immense pressure emanating from the dragon, which was weaker than the "Dragon Transformation" Eileen, but he hadn't expected it to be so weak. Its true strength probably lay in its appearance and the oppressive aura it exuded.
"stop!"
"I can't stop!"
"I am human! Human!"
Unfortunately, before Id could figure out why the dragon before him was all show and no substance, it suddenly transformed into an old man with graying hair. He pointed to his nose, which was bleeding profusely from Arena's punch, and angrily said, "Young people these days are getting more and more outrageous. They don't even listen to what you're saying and just start hitting you! They're so rude!"
"So you really are a Dragon Slayer Mage?"
Id was certain that the white-haired old man in front of him was also a dragon-slaying mage like Eileen, who had cultivated the dragon seed within him to its full potential.
"You guys found out about that?"
Upon hearing this, the elderly man with graying hair rose from the ground, dusted himself off, and tried his best to adopt an air of nonchalance, saying in a deep voice, "That's right, as you can see! I am the founder and first president of the Magic Array Dragon, the initiator of the Centennial Sighing Affairs, and the 'Dragon of Magic' Eresheria, who possesses all the wisdom in the world."
"Your strength is really strange, Senior Eresharia."
"As a Dragon Slayer Mage who has reached the pinnacle of the Dragon Seed, you are far too weak."
At this point, Ide spoke up, pointing out Eresheria's flaws.
Eresheria hadn't expected Id to be so perceptive. After a long silence, he said, "I should have told you this sooner, but since you've already found out, I'll tell you in advance."
At this point, Eresheria pointed to her chest and said helplessly, "Just as you thought, my heart was taken away, so I am no longer able to fight. This is also the reason why I launched the Centennial Sorrow Campaign."
"Your opponent is a divine dragon, whose heart can be easily taken by a fully-fledged Dragon Slayer Mage of the Five-Headed Dragon Seed."
At this point, Elecaria pulled out something that looked quite different from the original and smiled at Id, King Gilda, and Aleena, saying, "Let's sign this first! Remember, if the mission fails, you are absolutely forbidden from leaking information about the Centennial Mission."
