Complete Dragon
The man and the dragon clashed head-on, the deafening roars echoing as the coastal land was shattered.
The blast wave lifted the rocks, weighing tens of tons, into the air, and before they even hit the ground, they were blasted into dust by the next shockwave.
The seawater that poured into the fissure in the earth collided with the aftershocks of the magic, and with a hiss, a large cloud of white mist rose up, turning the once flat mudflats into a swampy mess.
Makarov hunched his shoulders, his old face twitching as he repeatedly reassured himself.
Fortunately, I'm no longer the president, so I don't have to worry about these trivial matters of demolishing land and getting compensation anymore!
"Once this is over, I'm going on vacation right away, so I don't have to send the president back again."
The members who were squatting around watching the drama unfold nodded in deep agreement upon hearing their former chairman's words.
This has happened before.
Freed, standing beside him, pressed down on his wind-blown green hair, his eyes darting towards the back of Makarov's head.
He was already seriously considering whether, once Laxus came out, he should quickly persuade Laxus to strike first and, before the old man slipped away, hand the chairmanship back to Makarov.
Suddenly, Macao, who was in the crowd, raised his hand to shield his brow bone, glanced at the sky, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wait a minute! Look at the sky, isn't it long past noon? Why is the sun still hanging in the middle of the sky?"
Everyone craned their necks.
Logically, with this battle raging since morning, the sun should have already begun to set in the west, but the fireball overhead remains as if it were nailed firmly to the center of the sky, completely unmoved.
At noon, the sun shines brightly, which is the time of day when the yang energy is at its peak and life in the world is in full bloom.
Riyao stood high in the sky, holding a spear in one hand, his entire body perfectly aligned with the blazing sun behind him. The dazzling golden light made it impossible for the people below to open their eyes.
It appears that Riyao is the sun, and the sun is Riyao.
The sunlight streaming down from the sky was drawn towards him, transforming into streaks of golden light that gradually merged into the ancient wooden spear in his hand.
The scorching spear emitted a blindingly hot light, scorching away even the clouds within a hundred meters.
The Black Dragon below didn't care about any of that; it shook off the mud from its forehead and fixed its vertical pupils on the sky.
In its feeding instincts, once it decides to devour Riyao, this "Tang Sanzang," it will fight to the death.
Boom!
With a sudden thud of its thick wings, the rocky beach beneath its feet collapsed in patches, and the Black Dragon's massive body transformed into a streak of black light, hurtling straight towards the Riyao high in the sky, fueled by sonic boom clouds.
Facing the gaping maw rushing towards him, Riyao remained calm and composed. With a flick of his wrist, the gun shuddered violently, scattering endless sunlight.
Click!
At that moment, the sunlight solidified into a tangible form, transforming into spears of light over three meters long, densely covering the sky, their tips all thrusting down towards the Black Dragon below!
Whoosh!
Countless spears of light rained down, relentlessly striking the Black Dragon's forehead, chest, and bony wings.
The clanging sounds of the impacts were continuous, and each light gun exploded with the downward pressure of a ten-thousand-ton hammer, instantly halting the Black Dragon's forward momentum.
Sparks flew from the scales as the massive dragon's body was forcefully slammed down from the sky by this barrage of fire, crashing through the sea surface with a deafening roar and plunging into the ocean depths.
That wasn't the end of it; Riyao didn't give it a chance to breathe at all.
Golden light burst forth from his shoulder blades, revealing a pair of broad wings of light. With a flap of his wings, he instantly accelerated and plunged into the sea. All the people on the shore saw was a dazzling golden light streak across the sky and the sea.
Rumble!
In less than two seconds, the nearshore area was completely turned upside down.
The seawater, hundreds of meters deep, was boiling like hot oil, with plumes of white steam shooting into the sky, and even the continental shelf on the seabed was rumbling.
Deep in the dark trench, the Black Dragon, slammed into the mud and sand, went completely mad. It suddenly raised its neck, opened its mouth to its limit, and a burst of destructive white light shone from the depths of its throat.
[The Black Dragon's Roar]
"Shut up!"
A cold shout resounded from the seabed. Riyao shattered the seabed rock layer with one step, swung the ancient wooden spear with both hands, and smashed it solidly into the Black Dragon's chin from below!
Bang!
The dull thud shook the surrounding seawater apart.
The Black Dragon's two rows of sharp teeth were forced to close with a snap by the gun barrel. The terrifying roar of the end that had just been building up in its throat had nowhere to go and was forced back, exploding directly in its own mouth!
The Black Dragon's cheeks bulged high, and black smoke spewed wildly from its nostrils and between its teeth. Its entire head was whipped backward and flipped over, crashing into half of an underwater reef.
Riyao shook his numb hand, his mind perfectly clear.
Conventional magic has almost no effect on monsters like Black Dragons; only magic imbued with pure Dragon Force can break through their shells and cause substantial damage.
With a thought, Riyao suppressed all the life-and-death power, spacetime power, and emotional power within his body, turning them into fuel, while the Dragon Force at the core of his body began to surge wildly.
Boom!
A violent dragon's might surged forth from his body.
This time, I will perfectly control this seven-colored Dragon Force that is a mixture of Fire Dragon, Iron Dragon, Sky Dragon, White Dragon, Shadow Dragon, Sage Dragon, and Azure Dragon.
Riyao pushed off the seabed with both feet, moving close to the massive body of the Black Dragon, while thrusting his gun with both hands at high frequency.
In just one second, the spear transformed into a blur and thrust out hundreds of times!
Pfft!
The dragon's power, condensed to its extreme, converged at a single point. The Black Dragon's invulnerable black scales finally gave way, and countless blood spots appeared on its chest, abdomen, and neck.
The Black Dragon, writhing in pain, became even more ferocious, wielding its millstone-sized claws with the monstrous force to tear through the ocean currents, and clashing fiercely head-on with the ancient wooden spear.
The clanging of metal echoed underwater, and the violent force shattered the wooden armor.
But the life essence within Riyao's body was so domineering that often, the moment the dragon claw tore open a bloody gash on his shoulder, it would be completely healed the next second.
On the other hand, the Black Dragon's physical strength had already been greatly reduced because its soul had been pulled into the Rift in Time and beaten.
Now, the dragon's vital points are being pierced repeatedly by Riyao's attack style, and its scalding dragon blood is gushing out like it's free, staining the ocean for miles around red.
Unable to break through the encirclement, the Black Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, smashing through the sea and soaring back into the sky. After creating distance, it opened its blood-red maw once more.
Following closely behind, Riyao burst forth from the sea, also standing in mid-air, its chest bulging high, with seven-colored dragon light gathering in its throat.
[The Black Dragon's Roar]
[The Divine Dragon's Roar]
Boom--
Two terrifying Dragon's Roars collided head-on between the sea and the sky, and a violent energy turbulence exploded on the spot, stirring up boundless waves hundreds of meters high.
The sea was cleaved into a bottomless chasm, and the out-of-control shockwave swept all the way ashore, even affecting land several miles away, where a layer of the ground was scraped off!
The people behind the cliff were blown about, staggering from side to side.
The petite Levy's feet left the ground, and she was so frightened that she clung tightly to Erza beside her, hanging on Erza's waist, almost being blown away by the violent storm.
"They fought so fiercely!"
Gray and Lyon, who were nearby, were hit by flying debris and ran away with their heads in their hands.
Only Mirajane, standing firmly on high ground, remained unmoved by the wind, which whipped her signature little tuft of hair on her forehead into a mess.
But she didn't care about her hairstyle at all. She cupped her face in her hands, a sweet and smug smile on her face, and turned to look at her disheveled companions behind her.
"Isn't my Riyao amazing?"
The corners of the mouths of everyone who was struggling against the wind all twitched.
Under Mirajane's crescent-shaped eyes, which were full of cunning, everyone from Gray to Macao nodded their heads like they were pounding garlic.
We have to admit it!
Anyone who dares to utter a single word against this fiercely protective husband will be physically executed on the spot; they're not some brainless brute Natsu.
High in the sky, at the center of the shockwave, Riyao flicked the blood droplets from the tip of his spear, his movements actually quite restrained.
The Black Dragon opposite him was a bottomless pit that devoured magic power. When fighting, he tried to release as little magic as possible to avoid the overflowing energy being sucked away by the Black Dragon to replenish his health.
Seeing the Black Dragon opposite him shaking its head, its wounds slowly stopping thanks to its powerful physique, Riyao raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but admire the Black Dragon's resilience.
"The Black Dragon truly lives up to its reputation as a being who has achieved physical immortality. Igneel was actually able to tear off an arm. He truly deserves to be called the Dragon King; he is terrifying indeed."
When he forged the golden Parasol Tree, he specifically made it into the shape of a Parasol Tree, so that he could concentrate his power into a single force, pierce the dragon scales point by point, and accurately deal with a single dragon scale with one spear.
But now that the fighting has actually started, we've realized that relying on this piecemeal approach is too slow, and it's not enough!
To completely crush this tortoise shell, we need even greater Dragon Force!
Riyao with a fierce light, and he no longer held back in suppressing her.
He released the floodgates, allowing the vast life force within him to completely merge with the seven Dragon Force, further amplified by the endless magic of the first Mavis flowing into his veins.
The ultimate plan he had rehearsed countless times in his mind finally crossed the threshold, and he fully manifested the Azure Dragon Force he had envisioned!
Click, click!
A crisp sound of armor plates growing rang out. Riyao's attire underwent a transformation due to the influence of Dragon Force. The surface of his ancient wooden armor and the spear in his hand was covered with fine, emerald-green dragon scales, sealing his entire body tightly.
He raised his eyelids, and his eyes, which had originally shimmered with the brilliance of the sun and moon, suddenly became upright, transforming into majestic and cold dragon eyes.
Roar--
With a deafening dragon roar that shook the heavens, the sky behind Riyao suddenly opened up, and a phantom of an Azure Dragon, ten thousand feet long, appeared out of thin air!
The enormous, verdant dragon body coiled above the sea of clouds, its five claws like hooks and its antlers rugged. Its head alone was ten times larger than Acnologia below, blotting out the sky and the sun.
The entire coastline was shrouded in shadow, and everyone on the shore looked up, stunned, at the terrifying figure in the sky.
Riyao gripped the Azure Dragon Spear tightly with one hand, feeling the boundless, perfect power surging within him. He looked down at the tiny, insect-like Black Dragon beneath his feet, his voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"I lack nothing now, I am Complete Dragon!"
