Passion! Hot Blood! Violence!

On the small island in the distance, which was being used as a makeshift refuge, Mest held up her binoculars, her hands trembling violently with extreme shock.

Through the telescope's view, the towering black giant and the legendary Black Dragon of Destruction were engaged in an unimaginable melee.

The mere aftershocks from the collision caused towering waves to rise across the entire sea, and the small island beneath his feet shook violently, as if it were about to be swallowed by the waves at any moment.

"No wonder... no wonder..."

Mest's lips were pale, and her voice was hoarse with fear.

"No wonder they looked at me like I was an idiot when I said I almost passed Jiang Bai's S-Class Exam..."

Assessment?

What a joke!

Is it really possible for someone to pass this monster's test?

Natsu: Yes! I am one.

On Tenrou Island, the battle has entered its most primitive and violent phase.

After adapting to his enormous body, the gigantic Jiang Bai no longer hesitated. His massive body transformed into a black lightning bolt and charged straight towards Acnologia!

The black dragon, not to be outdone, let out a deafening Roar and charged forward as well!

Boom--!

A man and a dragon, two figures as massive as mountains, collided violently without any frills!

A tug-of-war!

A clash between pure power!

At the center of the collision, the earth instantly cracked open, forming a huge circular impact crater!

The violent shockwave ripped everything around it away and tore it to shreds!

However, this seemingly evenly matched stalemate lasted for less than three seconds.

"Get out of my way!"

Jiang Bai let out a low roar, his waist suddenly straining, the muscles in his arms instantly bulging, and an even more terrifying force erupted!

Acnologia's enormous dragon body was actually flung away by him! It rolled several times on the ground before finally regaining its footing.

Before Heilong could recover from the shock of being overturned, Jiang Bai had already pounced on him.

Rampage mode activated!

"Ora ora ora--!"

Jiang Bai's fists transformed into a dense, impenetrable blur, raining down blow after blow on Acnologia's body like a storm!

That body, covered with hard dragon scales that were said to be impervious to all magic, was now like a sandbag in front of Jiang Bai's pure and extreme physical power, and was beaten without any power to fight back!

Each punch landed with a terrifying roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open!

Each punch is enough to level a mountain!

"Passion!"

A left hook slammed into the black dragon's cheek, sending its head snapping to the side!

"Passionate!"

A right straight punch landed squarely on the black dragon's chest, making its massive body tremble!

"Violence!"

A powerful uppercut, delivered from below, sent Acnologia's massive body tumbling into the air!

"Now this is what you call a fight!! Haha!!"

Jiang Bai let out a hearty laugh, a laugh filled with a long-suppressed, pure fighting spirit!

In the camp, all the Fairy Tail members stared in disbelief at the magical scene before them.

What did they see?

The legendary Black Dragon of Apocalypse, the embodiment of destruction whose very name is enough to make the world tremble, is now... being brutally beaten to the ground by Jiang Bai like a son?!

"I... I've never seen Jiang Bai like this before!" Natsu muttered to himself, his mouth agape.

In his memory, Jiang Bai always seemed lazy and uninterested in anything.

This kind of violent aesthetic, like that of a battle maniac, was something he had never seen before.

"Jiang Bai... since he came of age, he has never encountered an opponent who could make him go all out like this." A complex light flickered in Erza's eyes.

It was worry, it was shock, but more than anything, it was a deep-seated... pride.

"Xiao Bai is very excited right now," Mirajane said with a smile, her tone tinged with affection.

"Facing an opponent of this caliber... you actually feel excited...?" Laxus's lips twitched as he looked at the massive figure in the sky unleashing its fury.

"Jiang Bai, you... you're a complete monster."

"But... this brat has way too much magic power, doesn't he?" Makarov's beard trembled with shock.

"Maintaining such a massive giant form while engaging in such intense combat requires an astronomical amount of magic power!"

"Even I, in my old age, would be nearing my limit if I maintained this state at all, but he..."

But Jiang Bai seemed to have no energy depletion whatsoever; the speed and power of his punches did not diminish in the slightest, but instead became faster and more ferocious!

"Alright, guild master." Gildarts, standing to the side, took a swig of his drink, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

"Shouldn't you be the one who knows Jiang Bai's strength best?"

Upon hearing this, Makarov was taken aback at first, then puffed out his chest, a look of immense pride on his face, and snorted.

"Hmph! You don't need to tell me that!" he said smugly.

"So what if it's a legendary black dragon? It's still being suppressed by the magic I passed down!"

As if to prove his words, on the battlefield, Acnologia, who had been relentlessly beaten by Jiang Bai for half a day, finally seized an opening.

However, before it could retaliate, Jiang Bai's "Haymaker" landed squarely on its chest!

Boom--!

The black dragon's massive body flew backward like a cannonball, carving a huge trench thousands of meters long in the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Roar--!"

Anger!

An unprecedented surge of anger and humiliation erupted within Acnologia!

"How long has it been...?"

It slowly rose from the giant pit, its cold dragon eyes burning with a fury powerful enough to incinerate everything.

"How long has it been since I felt this powerless?!"

"Human! To thank you for the humiliation you have brought me, then die!!"

A terrifying magical power, larger, more evil, and filled with destructive aura than ever before, surged into the sky from Acnologia's body!

It opened its enormous maw, enough to devour the sun and moon, and began to gather its most powerful strength!

"This feeling... is not right!"

The shock on Natsu's face was instantly replaced by an unprecedented solemnity!

"It's not going to launch one of those energy blasts! This is... this is... Roar!"

As Dragon Slayer, he possesses an intuition far beyond that of ordinary people regarding the attack methods of dragons!

At the same time, Gajeel and Wendy's expressions also became extremely solemn.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why do you all look like that?" Lucy looked at the three of them, completely puzzled.

"You guys often use the Roar move, don't you, Natsu? Is there anything special about it?"

No! Completely different!

Natsu stared intently at the black dragon gathering terrifying energy in the distance, explaining in an extremely serious tone, "'Roar' might not be the strongest technique for us Dragon Slayers, but for a true dragon, it is definitely... one of the strongest techniques!"

"That means..." Lucy's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"It... it's about to unleash a powerful attack?!"

In the brief few seconds that the group was chatting, Acnologia had already completed the charging of its devastating attack!

The entire Tenrou Island groaned and trembled under that terrifying magic!

"The Black Dragon King's --"

"Roar!!"

A terrifying, pure, and pitch-black torrent of destruction, beyond description in any language, roared out of Ajinorokia's mouth!

That wasn't a beam of light, nor an energy blast, but a breath of annihilation capable of completely erasing everything in its field of vision from its very conception!

With Jiang Bai's speed and reflexes, dodging this attack would be a piece of cake.

But he couldn't hide.

Because behind him were his Fairy Tail companions.

Behind their companions lies Tenrou Island, the sacred ground of Fairy Tail.

This land is the guild's root.

Once destroyed, all members of Fairy Tail, except for those of Jiang Bai's caliber, will lose the ability to use magic.

Therefore, we can only withstand this attack!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Bai unleashed his magic once more.

"Limitless!"

That pitch-black, destructive Roar, powerful enough to make even the gods despair, was once again firmly blocked by that invisible, absolute barrier just before it was about to touch Jiang Bai's enormous body!

However, the black dragon's Roar did not stop there!

It continued to pour out its endless destructive magic power, which it had cultivated for four hundred years, in a frenzied manner!

The Roar torrents clashed fiercely with the seemingly fragile "Infinity" barrier!

The Roar aftershocks that emanated from the collision alone caused the entire Tenrou Island to shake violently, with countless huge cracks spreading wildly across the island's surface!

On the distant island, Mest felt the earth shake beneath her feet, and then, icy seawater began to surge onto the island from all directions!

This little island... is going to sink!

"Hateful!"

Mest let out a desperate roar.

"Everyone! Pack your things immediately! Get out of here!!"
