Dragon Force

Acnologia looked down at Makarov, who was clinging to him tightly.

His eyes were mocking.

He exerted his strength suddenly and swung his body.

Makarov was thrown into the air, his massive body crashing into the woods right next to the beach.

Boom!

Trees were broken in large sections, and wood chips and leaves flew everywhere.

Two deep drag marks were left on the beach, the sand was blown away, revealing the black soil underneath.

Everyone acted simultaneously, unleashing their strongest moves.

Acnologia stood still, showing no intention of dodging.

Those vertical pupils held only contempt.

Gray drew his Ice Sword, its blade radiating a chilling aura, and slashed at Acnologia.

A wave of ice erupted from the blade, sweeping out a chill that covered half of the Black Dragon's body beneath the ice.

The sand beneath our feet instantly froze, and the ice spread outwards, extending all the way into the sea.

The seawater crashed against the ice, making a cracking sound.

Acnologia shook himself.

The ice shattered and fell in a soft rustling sound.

After he finished shaking, he tilted his head to the side.

Erza's hundreds of flying swords all struck Acnologia.

Ding ding...

Sparks flew and the sounds of metal clashing filled the air.

The flying swords bounced off and scattered all over the ground. Some stuck into the sand, some flew into the forest and became embedded in tree trunks, and a few fell into the sea, splashing water.

It can't even leave a scratch on the scales.

Mirajane's dark flames exploded on Acnologia's body, black flames engulfing his entire form.

Acnologia flapped its wings.

The dark flames were completely shattered, sparks flew everywhere, and landed on the beach with a hissing sound, burning out small, charred pits.

The sparks that fell onto the sea surface hissed and then went out.

He tilted his head.

That's it?

Gildarts raised his hand, his voice drowning out the noise of waves crashing against the rocks.

"Don't go one by one!"

He stared at the Black Dragon, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his feet sinking into the sand beneath his feet.

"Let's attack together!"

Upon hearing Gildarts' words, everyone began to gather their strength.

Magic surged in the air, and various colors of light intertwined, causing the grains of sand on the beach to tremble slightly from the magical fluctuations.

All the attacks converged into a torrent, crashing towards Acnologia.

Boom!!

The immense impact sent Acnologia staggering back several steps, his claws carving deep furrows into the sand, which were filled with murky seawater.

Smoke and dust filled the air, mixed with sand, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Acnologia spread its wings and flapped them sharply.

The smoke and sand were blown away, revealing a messy beach behind it.

Everyone saw it clearly.

The Black Dragon was completely unharmed.

Not a single hair fell out.

Everyone felt a tightness in their chest.

Lucy's hands were trembling, her fingertips digging into her palms.

Elfman's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

A deep sense of powerlessness washed over them, extinguishing everyone's fighting spirit from head to toe.

Makarov emerged from the woods, covered in wounds and strewn with broken leaves and twigs, and sighed.

"So it really won't work."

His voice was old and weary.

"Dragon scales can negate magic. Ordinary attacks can't harm it at all."

Natsu gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up.

"Dragon Slayer Magic was created to exterminate dragons!"

He ignited flames in his fists, took a step forward, and the sand around him turned red from the intense heat.

"It can definitely break through the dragon scales!"

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade]

Crimson flames erupted from his arms, swirling, compressing, and condensing into two scorching blades of fire.

He swung his arms.

The spinning, exploding flames shot straight at Acnologia, distorting the air as they burned.

Flames exploded, heat waves swept across, and the sand on the beach was melted by the high temperature, solidifying into dark crystals.

The seawater evaporated due to the heat, and white vapor spread across the sea surface.

Gajeel was equally unwilling to give up.

We've finally encountered a real dragon, we have to defeat it!

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art: God-Slaying Sword]

His arms transformed into a gigantic iron sword a hundred meters long, with dark patterns appearing on the green-glowing blade.

The iron sword fell heavily towards Acnologia, carrying the force to cleave everything in its path.

The wind from the sword cleaved the sand, leaving a deep trench that stretched into the sea, neatly splitting a reef in two.

Seawater rushed in through the crack, splashing up two rows of waves.

Wendy's magic surged, and a gale howled around her.

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art Technique: Illumination - Sky Piercer]

A rapidly rotating wind barrier forms around Acnologia, with densely intersecting wind blades.

The sand on the beach was swirled up, forming a swirling sand tornado.

The barrier compressed rapidly, forming a spiral-shaped high-density airflow, and the air emitted a sharp hissing sound.

The wind pressure had created a dent in the sea, and nearby reefs were being whipped into a frenzy of rock fragments by the wind.

Dragon scales appeared on Laxus's body, and golden arcs of electricity danced between the scales.

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art Thunder Dragon Heavenly Thunder Slash]

A massive, rapidly spinning lightning halberd formed in his hand, its lightning blinding and crackling.

He hurled it with all his might, the Thunderclap Halberd tearing through the air with a deafening roar.

The sand grains along the way were struck by the electric current, and the electric arcs jumped and hit the reefs, causing them to shatter and sending fragments of rock flying into the sea.

Riyao took a deep breath.

He had been suppressing the Dragon Force within him.

Currently, the Dragon Force is dominant, while life force is secondary.

The two forces collided and merged within the body, unleashing unprecedented fluctuations.

His body began to change, and a faint bluish light emanated from beneath his skin.

[Dragon Slayer Secret Art Technique: Yin Wood Divine Lightning]

Above the sky, blue lightning surged and roared incessantly.

Dozens of blue lightning bolts descended from the clouds, each one incredibly thick, striking Acnologia with pinpoint accuracy.

The beach was blasted apart by lightning, sand flew everywhere, craters were carved into the sea, and rocks shattered and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Boom!!

The five ultimate Dragon Slayer Secret Art struck simultaneously.

A huge crater was blasted into the beach, and seawater rushed in.

The trees at the edge of the forest were uprooted by the shockwave, and a whole area of them collapsed.

Roar!!

Acnologia let out a roar.

This time, I finally felt some pain.

He looked down at his own scales.

The traces left by the Dragon Slayer Secret Art were faint, almost invisible.

They still couldn't break through the dragon scales.

The Black Dragon's vertical pupils contracted.

He didn't want to play anymore.

These ants seem to have run out of options.

He lunged at the crowd, his massive mouth agape, revealing menacing claws and teeth.

The hurricane whipped up by the wings sent sand flying everywhere on the beach, and huge waves crashed against the rocks, breaking into white foam.

He wanted to tear these people to pieces.

Makarov once again stood at the front.

Its massive body blocked Acnologia's path of attack.

My footsteps left a huge footprint on the sand, and the seawater washed over my ankles.

Arms outstretched.

No refund.

At that moment, a strange change occurred in Riyao.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of Tenrou Island.

The Sacred Tree.

That Sacred Tree, rooted in the heart of Tenrou Island, brimming with boundless vitality.

He began to guide them.

Green specks of light rose from the ground, seeped from the trees, and gathered in the air.

Densely packed, covering the sky and the earth.

All of it rushed towards Riyao's body.

The surrounding vegetation began to regrow and sprout new buds thanks to this life force.

The Sacred Tree's boundless life force poured in without reservation.

Riyao's hair flew wildly in the wind, and his pupils shone with a bright blue light.

Roar!!

Riyao raised its head and let out a deep roar.

The sand on the beach vibrated with the sound of the waves, ripples spread across the sea, and all the seabirds on the rocks took flight in fright.

A butterfly flaps its wings, changing the details.

Acnologia shouldn't have lunged at the crowd at that moment.

According to the original trajectory, he should have flown into the sky, let out a roar, and activated the Fairy Sphere.

If this continues, someone will definitely die.

Change is necessary.

He wants to drive Acnologia off Tenrou Island.

Make the Fairy Sphere activate as scheduled.

A burst of cyan light erupted.

It grew brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.

Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes.

Within the light, Riyao's form began to expand, its outline gradually blurring.

A dragon's might, different from that of the Black Dragon, descended from the sky, making everyone's knees go weak.

The sand on the beach was pressed tightly against the ground by the dragon's might, and the sea surface was flat and smooth, without a single ripple.

Natsu forced his hand open a crack, and a winding blue figure was reflected in his pupils.

"That's... Riyao?"

The light engulfed everything.
