Chapter 532 Selene's Request
As the mother of dragon slayer wizards, Irene's strength is greatly guaranteed based on this alone, not to mention the huge magical power she has accumulated for four hundred years.
In the world of Fairy Tail, Zeref, August, and Irene are undoubtedly the ceiling of human combat power - Acnorolia does not count, as he has lost his humanity.
But if you really count them, the strengths of the three are different.
Zeref is strong in knowledge and theory. He constructed the R plan in his childhood, created the eclipse in his youth, created the artificial demon Atrias, studied the magic of time and space, etc. These are deeds that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Not to mention following its achievements, even learning and imitating it is impossible!
Auguste's strength lies in his talent. The huge innate magic power is his advantage compared with Jellal and Irene. With the support of this huge magic power, his copying magic can be brought to its full potential.
But not all of his magic was copied from others. For example, the ancient magic that dissolved the earth at the end probably came from Jellal's collection rather than being copied from others. And Jellal definitely has quite a few collections like this.
The huge magic power is the basis for victory, and the rich skill library allows him to play more games, but what really makes him unshakable in battle is the effect of "nullifying other people's magic while copying".
In fact, whether it is Irene or Kira, their configurations are similar to Auguste. They are all wizards with high magic power and multiple spells. They lose because they cannot invalidate other people's magic.
Irene is strong physically, she can actually be considered a combination of Jellal and August.
Compared to Jellal, she has a stronger body and special buffs, but her magic knowledge, theories, and research are far inferior to his. This can be seen from the fact that Jellal can easily restore her to human form, and her words also show her admiration for Jellal. Compared to Auguste, in addition to her body, she also has magic power accumulated over four hundred years, and the rest is not much different.
Since she had been staying in the mountains and forests in the form of a dragon for four hundred years, the time Irene had spent studying and researching magic was actually only four or five decades as a human.
Therefore, Irene can only be regarded as the third among humans in the original work, and she cannot be the leader of the Twelve Shields because compared with Auguste, she is a little bit "reckless".
Fortunately, Selene does not particularly need to rely on Irene's wisdom. She only needs Irene's strength. The dragon-slaying attribute is her core competitiveness!
Isn't the best way to deal with those dragons just to fight them? What's the point of all those fancy tricks day after day?
(Kira: I feel offended)
Looking at Irene standing on the balcony gazing at the moon, Selene felt that she should seize the rare opportunity, step forward to win her over, and persuade her to do great things with her.
"What's wrong? Are you unable to sleep because you were thinking about that girl named Erza?"
Although this way of opening a topic was a bit awkward, it was the only way Selene could think of.
According to what she learned from human books, the best way for two women to become friends in a short period of time is to talk about the things they have in common.
This common point could be a favorite boy, favorite clothes, bags, cosmetics, or some hobbies such as novels, movies, sports, food, and entertainment. Unfortunately, Selene could not find any of these.
After thinking it over, she realized that besides being both very strong and having great figures, the only thing she and Irene had in common was that they were both mothers.
The book also says that human mothers like to get together and talk about their children. It only takes ten minutes for two mothers to quickly develop a deep friendship.
After spending half a day watching a series of popular masterpieces such as "Mother's Friend", "Stepmother's Girlfriend", and "League of Women", Selene decided to take action.
Hearing this, Irene glanced at Selene and said calmly, "It has been difficult to fall asleep since I returned to human form from dragon form."
After hearing this answer, Selene sighed in her heart: I was right!
"As expected... you are the queen of a certain country who created dragon-slaying magic 400 years ago, right?"
Selene held the round fan in her hand in front of her, covering the lower half of her face. A light flashed in her almond-shaped eyes, and a smile formed at the corners of her mouth. "Belserion, I remember that was the name of the dragon..."
"It was Xianlong who gave me my last name!" Irene nodded.
"Xian Long... I remember there was a guy named Eleftheria who also reported the name of 'Falong'! Although that old guy didn't look very smart."
"Falung?" Irene was stunned, then asked curiously, "Is he also a dragon slayer?"
"Yes, it seems that he learned dragon-slaying magic from a book, and he even turned into a dragon. Although his dragon-like appearance is still very immature."
Hearing that there was someone in the world who shared the same pain as her, Irene suddenly felt much better for some reason.
"But... you will be unable to sleep after you return to adulthood?" Selene blinked her almond-shaped eyes blankly and uttered a surprised sound: "What is the principle behind this?"
Irene snorted coldly, thinking: 'How would I know?! Anyway, it must be because of the dragon transformation! ! '
"Hmm... it shouldn't be a problem with the dragon's body, right? After all, I sleep soundly every day!" Selene didn't realize that Irene was abnormal, and continued to think deeply, "I wonder if that old man is the same as you..."
“…”
"I heard that he taught himself dragon-slaying magic, and he could transform freely between dragon and human forms a long time ago. He is probably an old man now. Maybe he can solve your problem."
After the Dragon Slayer transforms into a dragon, he will not age in dragon form. Only after he returns to human form will he age.
Bang!
Irene's breathing stagnated, and she accidentally used too much force on the balcony railing and broke off a piece of it. Her eyes were filled with deep resentment and anger.
Why on earth is this happening?!
Others can learn dragon-slaying magic by themselves and can transform from dragon form to human form in a few decades, but it took me 400 years, or was it by chance that I had to wait until Zeref to transform back into a human? !
Is this talent? No! That's not right!
After reluctantly giving in, Irene quickly figured it out: Jellal was different. There was only one Jellal in thousands of years. It was normal that he could help herself recover her human form. As for the magic dragon... it should be the effect of the magic attribute!
Law, in this world, represents the power of knowledge, and Falong possesses a great deal of unknown information about the world. It is precisely because of this that Eleftheria knows how to turn back into a human.
Thinking of this, Irene made up her mind that no matter whether the information Kira would tell her tomorrow would satisfy her, she would first go to meet the old man who called himself Faron. It would be great if she could learn from him how to stop being tortured.
By the way, this female dragon really can’t speak!
"You said before that you wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?"
Hearing that Irene seemed willing to help, Selene immediately perked up and said, "I'm in Kiltina, the northern continent, and I have a few enemies. I hope to use your power to eliminate the Five Divine Dragons that are in the way and create a world without dragons, only humans!"
"A world without dragons...?!" Irene murmured, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why do you want to do this? Aren't you also a dragon?
Selene first stretched her waist and uttered a subtle and seductive moan, then slowly explained: "In Kiltina, the 'Five Dragons' including me are hostile and hate each other. For four hundred years, we have been distorting this world. While fighting with humans, we have also restrained each other."
"If this continues, we will eventually clash. At that time, the result of the battle will at least be mutual destruction. There may even be someone who wants to reap the benefits."
"But I found the key to victory, that is humans!" Selene turned to face Irene, her eyes extremely focused and serious, "As long as I can get help from humans, I can defeat the other 'dragons', and then I will live on as a human!"
“…”
Why does it sound a bit weird? ?
Irene looked at Selene with a look like she was crazy, secretly complaining in her heart: You said you were going to destroy the dragon, but other dragons had to die, but you could live? Isn't this too hypocritical? You want to get away with it by promising to live in human form in the future? This female dragon is not speechless, but she has no brains at all, right?
As for colluding with humans to backstab the dragon clan, Irene, who had experienced the Dragon King Festival, felt accustomed to it.
"It is the destiny of this era that humans rule the world! The Age of Dragons ended four hundred years ago! It's just that Acnorolia and the Five Divine Dragons delayed this end!"
"Originally, Eleftheria was also in my plan to eliminate him, but your appearance changed my mind. After all, he is still a human being, not like Acnorolia who has lost his human heart. Moreover, he has been accumulating strength to defeat the 'Five Divine Dragons' for many years. Who knows, he may be my helper in the future."
Selene became more and more excited as she spoke. She looked at Irene with her almond-shaped eyes, which emitted two terrifying rays of light: "The moment I learned of your identity, I knew that the time to destroy the 'Five Divine Dragons' had come!"
"You are the creator of dragon-slaying magic. It is perfect for you to put an end to the remnants of that era! Perhaps fate has already arranged it, and let me see it, and then guide you to start the 'Dragon Slaying Plan'!"
"How about it? Erin Belserion? Come with me to destroy the 'Five Dragons'?"
Selene looked at Irene expectantly, but what was waiting for her was...
"No! I refuse!"
“Eh?”
Irene's cold and heartless words stunned Selene.
That's all rubbish, it's useless!
