Chapter 597 Even if it's just the appearance, the Dragon Slayer cannot retreat in front of the dragon!
At the top of the mountain in the center of the examination hall, Auguste, Preshito, Mavis, and Makarov sat on the rocks at the edge of the cliff, staring at two or three directions. The hems of their cloaks and skirts fluttered in the wind, and the sun above their heads began to set in the west at a slow speed.
In winter, the daytime hours become shorter.
" Calculating the time, there are still thirty minutes until sunset. Can the two of them decide the winner?"
"Who knows? But this is a good opportunity to find out their strength!"
"They are the future pillars of the guild!"
I should be the pillar of the future, right?!
Laxus had a sour face under the rock, his upper body was bare, he was sweating, his clothes were tattered, he was breathing heavily with indignation, and a feeling of unwillingness was silently burning in his heart.
He had been training with Serena the entire day today. The eight attributes of dragon-slaying magic made it difficult for him to cope with. He had been beaten almost all day, and only now had he stopped to have a good rest.
Although it was embarrassing, the effect was very significant. He vaguely felt that he had made a lot of progress and had become more proficient in the Thunder Dragon Slaying Magic. Not only that, his body's affinity to thunder magic was also increasing.
"I feel like the power I exerted is not as strong as expected... Is it because of the magic crystal in my body?"
Laxus had a feeling that the Lightning Dragon Slayer Demon Crystal buried in his body seemed to be hindering his progress, causing him to be unable to exert his original strength.
Is it possible that the Dragon Slayer Crystal is suppressing his power?
Suddenly, Laxus had an idea: "Come to think of it, this magic crystal was originally buried in my body to balance the excess magic power. In other words... it plays a role in suppressing magic power?"
The more Laxus thought about it, the more it made sense. "If I have been using the suppressed portion of my magic power, then... my body should be able to withstand the huge amount of magic power from the old man, right?"
"Would you like to try to take it out and have a look after you get back?"
On the top of the mountain, Laxus looked at Serena, who was full of energy in the distance, and clenched his fists tightly.
"Wendy lost, what a shame!"
Mavis put down the telescope with a look of regret, she was still optimistic about this little girl who looked about the same age as her, and was about the same age as her in some aspects, but was full of confidence in her future.
Preshito consoled her: "She is still a child after all, and she lacks combat experience!"
"Although I have done a lot of missions, I was mostly under the care of other members of the team. I rarely encountered opponents who were equally matched with me or slightly stronger than me. As a result, my progress was limited."
"Most importantly, she lacks experience in allocating magic power. This is the main reason for her loss to Urrutia."
It’s not like Wendy hasn’t fought in high-end games before. She played a big role in the battle to repel Acnorolia, but that kind of battle is not a good way to train magic power allocation because the gap between the two sides is too big.
When facing Acnorolia, there is no way to survive unless you give it your all.
August continued to analyze the situation on the battlefield, "The Arc of Lost Magic Time, plus the Ice Demon Slayer Magic, in a two-on-one situation, Dimaria is already losing. The boy named Gray won this battle!"
After the three of them finished speaking, they were all silent for a while, as if they were thinking about how the comments made by others differed from their own.
After a moment, they turned their gaze to the short man at the end, the man who was supposed to be a judge with them and comment on the strength of the group of children, but who had remained silent so far.
"Where are Lucy and Brandish? Why haven't they shown up yet? Are they really going to stay here until sunset?"
Makarov had his back to the three of them, holding a telescope against his eyes with one hand, and scratched his Mediterranean hair with the other hand in confusion, frowning even more tightly, "I also wanted to see the battle between Lucy and Juvia..."
"Hehehe... I really like girls fighting..."
Three people: "..."
I can already imagine what this old man is like after retirement! He must be the type who drinks, brags and flirts with girls in the guild all day long! He doesn't have the temperament and demeanor that a senior or guild leader should have!
"Ah, Erza and the others are back!"
Levi's cry attracted everyone's attention. When everyone looked back, they saw Erza with Albagreen, Jellal with Felide, and the four of them slowly walked out of the teleportation magic circle.
The teleportation magic circle was specially made by August. It was a space magic circle connecting the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain. It was left behind because they were afraid that these children would be unable to climb the mountain after being eliminated.
Bigusro and Elfman stepped forward to shake hands, their movements very natural.
"Hehehe...you lost miserably, Felide!"
"Are you okay, Alba?"
Mira: !!
Hehehe...this younger brother is definitely wrong!
"Sister Mira, do you think Brother Elfman..."
"Shh! Lisanna, we can just watch quietly!"
“Huh?! Oh…”
The two sisters looked like they were eating melons, quietly watching how Elfman, a big man weighing several hundred pounds, gently carried Alba Green to the rest area in a princess hug and gently put her down, then expertly washed, bandaged, and wiped her body...
“…”×2
"Oh! I haven't seen Elfman be so gentle in a long time!"
Cana, who was sober for a rare time, appeared out of nowhere, and squeezed between the Mira sisters with a smell of alcohol, hugging them left and right without any courtesy, "How far have they come?"
"No... I don't know..."
"Yeah?"
Kana took a big gulp of wine, her eyes flickering between Elfman, Alba Green, and Levi beside her: "Let's open a bet when we get back and bet on who will be the next couple to get married in the guild."
The Mira sisters looked at each other in confusion: Hasn't this guy always only liked drinking? When did he become addicted to gambling?
"I think I can take this opportunity to earn some money for drinks!"
Oh, it's okay.
…
The battle between Kira and Disper has reached a fever pitch. The endless stream of magic and unpredictable swordsmanship allow the two to fight to their heart's content, leaving Natsu and Gajeel, who are watching, stunned.
"Holy Judgment!"
A powerful magic that combines the three attributes of holiness, fire and light, falls from the sky through the clouds, as fast as lightning, like a punishment from heaven.
" Dual Sword Style: Double Moon Slash!!"
The two swords were swung, and two silver crescent moons were drawn in the air, reflecting Cangxiong.
Judging from the naming method of Disper's moves, he seems to have stopped naming his moves after "animals" and instead started using the "shape slashing" sword technique.
The holy light and the crescent moon collided heavily with each other, and after a stalemate of several seconds, they exploded at the same time. A strong shock wave swept out, and strong winds spread to hundreds of meters away.
The nearest hill finally collapsed, unable to withstand the repeated impacts of the two men. The strong wind became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and a large amount of rocks rolled down.
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!
"These two guys are too outrageous! Just the residual power alone is..."
"As expected of Kira, you can be so strong even with swordsmanship?"
Gajeel and Natsu were shocked and didn't bother to continue watching the battle. They quickly turned around and ran farther away. After they left the range of the landslide, they turned around and continued to look at the battlefield.
Kira and Disper seemed to be completely unaware of the landslide and were still immersed in the battle with their opponents. Their aura, magic in their hands, and the aftermath of their swordsmanship automatically blocked the falling rocks.
Natsu and Gajeel were filled with envy, their eyes full of longing as they looked at the two people fighting.
"One day, I will become as strong as this!" ×2
The two of them were stunned at the same time: "Hey! That's what I want to say!!" ×2
"Who cares about you!!" ×2
"You guys... didn't fight enough just now, right?"
"Come on, come on...am I afraid of you?"
Before the two men started fighting, they felt the ground shaking and the sky and the earth trembled.
"What's going on?! An earthquake?"
However, the movement at the next moment gave the two of them an answer.
I saw the collapsed rocks suddenly rising into the sky. Rocks, mud, sand, and grass were all mixed together. The entire mountain reassembled in the sky and turned into a ferocious dragon.
"Nani?!" Natsu and Gajeel exclaimed in disbelief.
The giant dragon in the sky spread its wings and opened its huge mouth. It had sharp teeth, claws, and a thick tail. The most important thing was its eyes, which were made of rock and looked full of brutality and ferocity.
“Hiss——!! The mountain turned into a giant dragon?!”
"Did Kira do this? That's crazy!"
While Natsu wasn't paying attention, Gajeel secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead and encouraged himself in his heart: "Calm down, you must stay calm! Fortunately, I didn't fight him just now, otherwise I would have died, right?!"
roar!!!
The giant dragon roared, then spread its wings and flew high, attracting everyone in the examination room.
"Stone Dragon?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Is it the mountain that just collapsed?!"
"Wait! What does it want to do?!"
A giant dragon the size of a mountain was seen spinning 180 degrees at an altitude of several hundred meters, with its head facing the ground. It then dived rapidly and smashed down towards the entire mountain range.
As it dived, the rock dragon changed again. The huge magic power attached to it turned into a scorching flame. Under the gradually dimming and cold sunset, it was like a hellfire rock dragon that absorbed the sunlight and the temperature of the sun, illuminating the entire sky and warming the entire Darus Mountains.
Run!
This was the first thought that flashed through Gajeel's mind. However, when he turned his head, he suddenly saw Natsu, who had an excited look on his face and wanted to rush forward without any intention of retreating. He immediately stopped.
"I can't be outdone by this bastard fire dragon!"
Once this thought appeared, it was uncontrollable and became stronger and stronger.
"As the first generation dragon slayer, how can I retreat in front of a 'dragon'? I am... I am..."
"Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeelda!!!"
