Chapter 355 The Dragon is Coming
"Is she really the first president? The president?"
Makarov nodded stiffly, "Yes! I haven't seen it in person, but I've seen the portrait in the guild!"
Everyone was shocked: "The first generation is actually a child?"
"I'm just under the influence of magic and can't grow up!"
Mavis explained, walking around the group on her own. In just a few words, she had taken in everyone's reactions, expressions, magic fluctuations and other data.
"You've run the guild very well! Third generation!"
Faced with the affirmation of his ancestors, Makarov was flattered, his whole body trembling with excitement, his face filled with joy, forgetting all the entanglement and uneasiness from a minute ago: "Really... Really..."
"But isn't the first generation already dead?"
"I am indeed dead, and now I exist in the form of a ghost."
Kana asked, "Then the one who lent me the 'Glory' at the graveyard before was also..."
"It's me!" Mavis said with a smile, "I originally wanted to lend it to you to defeat the enemy, but it seems unnecessary. 'Glory' didn't play the role it should have..."
"That's not true! It came in handy at the end!" Kana shook her hands hurriedly.
"If you mean that Underworld Beast, you can defeat it even without 'Glory'! You don't need 'Glory' at all, you can do it with your own strength..."
Kira interrupted Mavis's praise and said silently: "Well... I think Cana still needs 'Glory'! She is now the new S-class wizard in the guild, why not teach her this magic directly?"
Mavis thought about it seriously and said, "Well...it's not impossible. She has the talent!"
"Oh!! Really?" Kana exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
After assuring Cana that she could teach her 'Glory' later, Mavis sat down with Kira, Makarov, and Gildarts to discuss the battle strategy.
Kira did not ask why Mavis appeared at this time, nor did he care where Zeref had gone. In his opinion, nothing was more important than the upcoming Acnorolia.
"Come on! We already have the enemy's intelligence. Now it's up to you, Fairy Strategist!" Kira flattered Mavis, "Or is it that in the face of absolute strength, strategies are ineffective?"
Mavis stroked his chin and thought, "You said that you used the fear of transportation to successfully deal with Acnorolia before. Maybe this is the turning point!"
I know that too! So what should I do? Should I just rush up? But that little attack is just like a tickle to it! And with the experience from last time, the opponent will definitely not land easily, which makes it even more difficult!
Mavis was full of confidence and patted her plain chest with her hand: "Leave it to me!"
Ten minutes later...
Mavis hugged her knees with both hands, curled up as a ghost, looked down at the ground, tears in her eyes, and her face flushed. The reason for this was that she could not think of any way to deal with Akunorolia, so she could only vent her emotions by crying, and even beg for forgiveness by acting cute.
"Ah... the reputation of 'Fairy Military Advisor' is ruined from now on!"
Kira complained quietly, but Mavis heard it clearly, so she buried her head in her arms in even more shame.
In fact, it's not her fault. Mavis was given the title of "Fairy Strategist" because she showed amazing analytical, judgment, command and calculation abilities in the Second Trade War. However, these were of no use at all in high-end battles between wizards.
There is a saying that "people can never calculate". Even if Mavis is very talented in learning magic and can accurately calculate the consumption of each person and each magic, how can she easily control the strategies and traps used in battle, as well as the changes in thoughts and emotions of both sides?
In the original work's Great Magic Tournament chapter, on the last day of the competition, Mavis relied on her special fighting style and strategic planning to make Fairy Tail's score surpass that of other guilds.
But in fact, Mavis neither calculated the three-way fight between Erza, Kagura, and Minebea, nor the three-way fight between Laxus, Jura, and Olga - with such a performance, is she really worthy of the title of 'Fairy Strategist'?
Kira thinks it's all Mashima's fault! He can only think up the setting, sell sex, and make sensational stories, but he doesn't have much expressiveness in this regard.
Not long after, a dark, huge, extreme, and malicious special magic appeared in Kira's perception range. First, there was the pressure of magic emanating from an unknown distance, and then there was a familiar roar.
The undisguised malice immediately put everyone on alert.
Kira stood up and looked at the clouds in the night sky. He could vaguely see the changes in the wind and clouds in the distance: "It seems ... it's coming!"
This was his second time facing Acnorolia . With the experience of the last fight, he was much calmer this time.
Makarov's eyes were solemn, and he asked Kira in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
"To be honest, not much!" Kira shook his head. "If we can't defeat them in the end, we can only trouble the first generation to use the 'Fairy Ball'!"
“…”
So I'm on record, right?
Mavis' face was heavy as she nodded silently.
"What...what happened?"
"Is this the sound of a dragon?!"
"It's Acnorolia!!!"
Natsu and the others had fought with Acnorolia once before, so they reacted quickly, got up from the ground and prepared for battle.
The dragon's roar became clearer and louder, coming from far away and mixed with the whistling wind, reaching everyone's ears. Then, a strong wind swept in, and a huge black wing covered the moonlight, and Sirius Island was once again shrouded in shadow.
"Really...it's really a dragon..." Leibi's whole body was trembling. She stared blankly at the huge creature in the sky, cold sweat pouring down her face.
Finally, Acnorolia, hovering in the air, seemed to have found its target. It swung its dragon tail and swooped down with its entire body, landing on Sirius Island.
boom……
As soon as it landed, it made a shocking noise.
The dragon's claws crushed rocks and split the earth, stirring up countless smoke and dust; the dragon's roar broke through rocks and pierced through clouds, deafening.
Even Sirius Island, which had withstood long-term erosion and had just been attacked by two major dark guilds, seemed unable to support its weight at this moment; the earth turned into tofu dregs and was crushed into ashes, and the trees were like paper, being uprooted by the black wings with a flap.
The so-called great power of nature seems so vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
"You guys were able to escape from it last time, you really have some skills!"
"How can we defeat this kind of enemy?"
The black dragon was standing high above them, looking down at everyone with its red eyes. The night added a lot of murderous intent to it, making everyone terrified and afraid to speak loudly.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Leave it to us!!"
It's Natsu! Beside him, there are Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus who just woke up!
"We are Dragon Slayers! Our magic exists for today!! It is our responsibility to defeat Acnorolia!!!"
This short but passionate speech quickly calmed the uneasy hearts of others, boosted morale, and gave everyone the courage to face their fears.
"I...I will try my best..."
"Have some confidence in yourself, Wendy!"
"Well said, Natsu!"
"Hehe... If I can defeat it, how about giving me the S-rank title?"
"Ohhhh!! I'm on fire!"
"We were able to escape from it last time, so we can do it this time too... No! We have become stronger. If so many of us attack together, we might be able to defeat it!"
Wow! Who on earth is so confident?
Kira complained silently as the voices became more and more outrageous, but he stepped to the front and looked up into Acnorolia's eyes.
The other party was also looking down at Kira at this moment, with disdain and amusement in his eyes, as well as an unnoticeable arrogance.
