A Hard-Fought Battle

Wendy raised her hands and spun them in the air. Emerald green magic surged from her palms, transforming into circles of magic that encircled her arms.

She took a deep breath and channeled her magic into Laxus.

[Enchantment Magic - God's Knight]

A green fluorescence appeared on Laxus's body, with light spots seeping into the surface of his skin.

The frequency of the electric arc jumping on his body increased significantly, with each jump accompanied by a louder crackling sound.

Thanks.

"I'll go and Enchantment Magic on Mr. Gajeel and the others."

Laxus nodded, and Wendy turned and ran towards the other dragons.

The Scissor Blade Dragon swung its wings and slashed at Laxus.

The scales along the edges of its wings were as sharp as a row of razors, slicing through the air with a piercing sound, and when they struck down, the wind pressure even cut a crack in the ground.

Laxus transformed into lightning, moving swiftly before his body became a golden bolt of lightning, vanishing from the spot and leaving only a few arcs of electricity behind.

The slash of the Scissor Blade Dragon missed its target, its wing striking the ground and cutting a crack more than ten meters long, sending debris flying.

Laxus appeared to the side of the Scissor Blade Dragon's head, its body reforming from the lightning, its fists fully extended.

[Lightning Dragon's Crushing Fist]

A fist crackling with lightning slammed into the dragon's head, the current exploding from the fist and golden arcs spreading along the dragon's scales.

The dragon's head was knocked to one side, several dragon scales were blown off, tumbling and falling in the air, and black smoke rose from the cut.

Laxus smirked, but before he could even feel smug, a dark shadow swept over from his blind spot.

The Scissor Blade Dragon's tail lashed out at him, its scales standing upright, each one like a blade.

Laxus was smashed into the house, the walls were smashed through, the beams broke, and the entire building collapsed, burying him beneath the bricks and timber.

The Scissor Blade Dragon opened its mouth and gathered magical power, a grayish-white light surging from its throat. The airflow swirled rapidly in its mouth, forming a terrifying storm of iron blades.

It suddenly spewed out countless blade-shaped magical energy from its mouth, mingling with the gale and shattering the air into fragments.

The ruins where Laxus stood were swept away by the storm of iron blades. Bricks and stones were shredded into pieces, and wood was shaved into sawdust. The entire ruins were leveled, leaving only a dense array of blade marks on the ground.

Wendy approached Gajeel and raised her hand to cast a spell.

[Sky Dragon's Wing Attack]

A white whirlwind surged from her arms, transforming into a pair of enormous wind wings. The wind wings slammed into Gajeel, sending him flying.

Gajeel out, a huge dragon claw landed where he had just been. The Rock Dragon's forepaw slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater with cracks extending more than ten meters away from the edge of the crater.

Thanks, Wendy!

Gajeel got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and yelled at Wendy.

Wendy casts a spell on Gajeel.

[Enchantment Magic - God's Knight]

The green fluorescence Gajeel's body, and he felt his whole body filled with power, his muscles swelling up.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and with a push of his feet, charged towards the Rock Dragon.

[Iron Dragon's Mountain-Cutting Auger]

He clasped his hands together, intertwining them to form a giant iron cone.

The tip of the iron awl was thick and sharp, and its surface reflected a cold light under the moonlight.

Gajeel leaped up and slammed the iron spike into the Rock Dragon's chin, the tip carving into the gaps in the dragon's scales and creating a bloody crater.

Dragon blood gushed from the wound and flowed down the iron spike.

The Rock Dragon was in pain, and its roar shattered all the windows of the surrounding houses.

Its eyes turned fierce, and it stomped its foot hard. The ground shook violently, cracks spread from its feet, and nearby houses teetered on the brink of collapse.

Gajeel landed back on the ground, which was still shaking. He stood unsteadily, almost falling over.

The Rock Dragon pressed its body down, its massive form blocking out the moonlight, casting a shadow over Gajeel.

Sting and Rogue both entered Dragon Force Mode.

Both of them burst forth with light at the same time. Sting's body shone with intense white light, while Rogue's body shone with deep black light. Light and shadow surged from the two of them, intertwining together to form a black and white pillar of light that shot into the sky.

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly switched opponents.

Black and white streaks of light flashed across the two dragons, moving so fast that they left only afterimages. The Darkness Dragon and the Abyss Water Dragon were shaken so much that their heads swiveled back and forth, unsure of which to chase.

[The White Dragon's Holy Ray]

Sting leaped onto the top of the Darkness Dragon, clasped his hands together, and a dazzling ball of light condensed in his palms. The white light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the surrounding streets as if it were daytime.

He suddenly opened his hand, and the ball of light exploded, sending countless white beams of light hurtling towards the Darkness Dragon's head, densely packed like a white rainstorm.

The Darkness Dragon's eye was struck; the beam pierced its pupil.

It let out a scream, its dragon head thrashing wildly, its four claws digging frantically at the ground, creating several deep trenches.

Seeing this, Sting increased his magical output, making the beams even denser, and the white light engulfed the Darkness Dragon's entire head.

Relying on the fact that these dragons dared not kill him, Rogue abandoned his defenses and unleashed a continuous stream of magic.

The shadow scythe was swung out from the left hand, the shadow sword condensed from the right hand, the shadow blade shot out from the feet, the shadow spear emerged from behind, and the shadow hammer smashed down from above the head.

Various shadow weapons were hurled at the Abyss Water Dragon, causing fragments of its scales to fly everywhere.

The Abyss Water Dragon swept its tail across, bringing with it a damp spray. Rogue leaped onto its back, his feet treading on the dragon scales, and continued his attack down its back.

Rogue seized the opportunity when the Abyss Water Dragon turned its head; the dragon's head had just turned around, and its mouth hadn't even opened yet.

[The Shadow Dragon's Roar]

A torrent of pitch-black shadows spewed from his mouth; the black magical energy was as thick as a physical entity.

The blow struck the Abyss Water Dragon's cheek, sending its head tilting to the side and its neck twisting at an exaggerated angle, saliva spurting from the corner of its mouth.

Both the Abyss Water Dragon and the Darkness Dragon were furious.

Such insignificant ants dare to be so arrogant.

The Darkness Dragon raised its claws, tearing through the air with such speed that only a blur could be seen.

Sting couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly, sending him flying through the air, tumbling and crashing through two houses before coming to a stop.

The Abyss Water Dragon slammed its forepaws into the ground, causing it to explode. A massive torrent of water, carrying rubble and mud, gushed out from the crack, sending Rogue flying.

Rogue tumbled in the water, his body crashing into a wall that collapsed, burying him halfway up in the rubble.

Wendy arrived, crouched down, grabbed Sting's arms with both hands, and dragged him out of the rubble and behind a broken wall.

A storm of dark, shadowy light descended from the sky, slamming into the spot where Sting had just fallen. The ground was blasted into a huge crater, with black smoke still rising from the bottom and the soil around the edges charred black.

Erza and Mirajane stood back to back, like two knives blocking the middle of the street.

Erza was tasked with dealing with the approaching Mini Diamond Dragon. She wore Black Wing Armor and held two longswords, the light of which wove into an impenetrable net in front of her.

Mirajane floated in mid-air, in the form of the Satan Soul, she raised her arm, and dark flames condensed in her palm.

Ink flames shot out from her palms, one after another, accurately hitting the Mini Diamond Dragon swarm surging from afar. The flames began to burn as soon as they touched the dragons' bodies, causing the little Diamond Dragons to roll on the ground and quickly turn into a pile of ashes.

Gray pressed his hands to the ground, and frost magic flowed from his palms into the ground, causing white frost to spread across the surface and form a sheet of ice.

Several Mini Diamond Dragons stood on the ice, their feet frozen in place. The ice spread up their legs, freezing them into ice sculptures in just a few breaths, leaving them unable to move while still in their charging posture.

Juvia wielded her water whip, her body transforming into a stream of water as she traversed the battlefield, when a Mini Diamond Dragon, which had been ambushing Gray, pounced from the side.

She lashed out with her whip, the water whip striking the dragon and slicing it in two.

The two pieces of the dragon's body fell to the ground, the cuts were clean and smooth, and liquid only spurted out two seconds later.

Cana threw out a combination of cards, which arranged in a fan shape in the air. She pointed her finger, and the cards exploded simultaneously.

The bombardment of various elements blasted the Mini Diamond Dragons in front of them into pieces.

Lisanna and Elfman kept the dragons that approached Cana at bay.

Lisanna moved with incredible speed, weaving through the dragons, her claws leaving deep scratches on their bodies.

Elfman absorbed the Beast King Soul, his body swelled to twice its size, and with a single punch, several small Diamond Dragons were smashed to pieces.

The three Thunder God Tribe worked together very well, eliminating wave after wave of Mini Diamond Dragons.

Mini Diamond Dragons are everywhere in the capital, a dark mass that surges out from every corner of the streets, and no matter how many you kill, you can't see the end of them.

Some were already exhausted; their sword swings were getting slower and slower, the magical light was getting dimmer, their breathing was getting heavier, and they were starting to stagger.

But the Mini Diamond Dragon horde seemed endless, still surging in from all directions like a tide.
