They're Flying Too High!

[A bonus chapter today, take it!]

High in the sky, nine enormous shadows obscured the sun and cast a vast gloom.

The heavy flapping of fleshy wings created a violent wind pressure, causing the flags around the central square to flutter wildly.

On the back of the dark red lead dragon, Future Rogue, with one hand on its horn, laughed wildly into the wind.

"Behold this! This is absolute destruction that transcends time and space! Turn to ashes under the dragon's might!"

The eight enormous dragons simultaneously opened their blood-red maws, each emitting a blinding elemental light from deep within their throats.

Scorching flames, the hardness of diamond, and a storm that tore through the air rapidly coalesced and took shape within the dragon's mouth.

Below in the plaza, members of various guilds assumed defensive stances, all on high alert.

Jiang Bai put one hand in his coat pocket, tilted his head back, and looked at the massive group that blocked out half of the night sky.

Jiang Bai let out a contemptuous sneer.

"It flew too high!"

Five words were calmly uttered by Jiang Bai.

There are no lengthy and complicated spellcasting incantations, and not even any unnecessary pre-cast animations.

Jiang Bai casually pointed his right index finger, which was hanging by his side, downwards at the nine enormous objects in mid-air.

The air above the sky suddenly froze.

The terrifying force, beyond common sense, was like an entire inverted, towering mountain crashing down from the void.

The nine adult dragons, each over tens of meters long, emitted a piercing cracking sound as their massive bodies shattered.

The dragon's breath orb that had just finished charging in its mouth was forcibly forced back into its throat and extinguished on the spot.

Whether it was the wind pressure from flapping wings or the levitation magic of its massive body, everything became useless under the repulsive force of this absolute dimensional reduction attack.

The once invincible ancient overlord with nine heads didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before it plummeted straight to the ground like a fly struck on the head with a swatter.

The heavy impact tore through the surface of the square.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and gravel rained down in all directions.

In the Future Rogue, along with the dark red dragon beneath his feet, was slammed into the center of the deep pit, rolling into the pile of rubble, his body covered in dirt and dust.

The nine-headed dragon lay at the bottom of the deep pit, its massive wings pressed tightly against the ground as it struggled desperately, yet even lifting one of its heads seemed incredibly difficult.

A brief silence fell over the central square.

Natsu put his hands on his hips and grinned widely, "Ha! I knew it would turn out like this!"

Gray casually took off his shirt, his face showing an expression of complete familiarity.

Seven years ago on Tenrou Island, the core members of Fairy Tail had already witnessed firsthand the exaggerated scene of Jiang Bai suppressing Acnologia.

The trick of casually slapping a nine-headed dragon to the ground is nothing more than basic skill for Jiang Bai.

However, the mages from the other guilds around them were completely stunned, their cognitive systems utterly crushed into dust.

That's a dragon!

A natural disaster that has swept across an era from four hundred years ago!

Nine terrifying beings, powerful enough to flatten the entire Kingdom of Fiore, were all pinned to the ground and forced to eat dirt before Jiang Bai could even unleash his breath.

This is not a duel between mages; this is a miracle.

Within the Sabertooth's camp.

Sting swallowed hard, his neck stiffening as he turned to his companion beside him.

"Hey, Rufus."

"I suddenly feel that on the day of the opening match, you were just being manipulated into a dance by him, and the ending was actually quite good, wasn't it?"

Rufus raised his hand to adjust the brim of his wide-brimmed hat, clutching the Book of Memory tightly in one hand, and nodded mechanically.

"Yes, I now even feel that it was a great act of compassion."

On the other side, the girls with Mermaid Heels were completely panicked.

Beth and Rishty grabbed Kagura's arms on either side and shook them frantically.

"Kagura! Listen to your sisters' advice!"

"How about we change our life goals?"

"No matter what, never try to challenge Jiang Bai, that extraordinary monster, again. You'll really die!"

Kagura looked down at the giant dragon struggling and thrashing in the deep pit, then turned to look at Jiang Bai, subconsciously tightening her grip on the sheath of the Archenemy Blade at her waist, and fell into deep thought.

In the center of the deep pit.

In the Future Rogue pushed aside the massive rubble that was pressing down on him and stood up unsteadily.

Future Rogue brushed the dust off his robe, his gaze pierced through the swirling dust, fixed intently on Jiang Bai's face.

His former arrogant and haughty demeanor vanished, Future Rogue loudly questioned.

"Jiang Bai! Where did you come from?!"

"In my hopeless future, there is absolutely no record of you!"

In the Future Rogue gritted his teeth, his voice echoing above the crater.

"A terrifyingly powerful individual like you, possessing overwhelming strength, could never be unknown!"

Who are you?!

Jiang Bai, with his hands in his coat pockets, stepped to the edge of the pit, looked down at the man who claimed to control the future, and let out a soft laugh.

"Ha, timelines and world lines are never singular; can you even distinguish between multiple parallel worlds?"

"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you."

Jiang Bai lowered his eyes and glanced at the nine-headed dragon lying at the bottom of the pit, stating his current plan.

"It's rare to encounter a few pure-blooded, living dragons from four hundred years ago. I'll use these dragons to test the results of my recent cultivation."

Jiang Bai had barely finished speaking.

Natsu rushed forward from behind, his fists bursting with large, fiery golden-red flames.

Natsu protested loudly.

"Hey! Jiang Bai! Stop trying to do everything by yourself every time!"

Natsu stood on the rocks at the edge of the pit, his eyes shining as he stared at the enormous creature below.

"I finally have another chance, and I'm going to make a big splash! I'm confident I can be of any help!"

Erza stepped to Jiang Bai's side.

"Natsu is right, Jiang Bai."

"Whether as your family or as a member of Fairy Tail, we want to share some of your burden."

Mirajane, dressed in a long purple dress, with a gentle and peaceful smile on her face, appeared silently on the other side of Jiang Bai, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"While we may not be as strong as you, there's still something we can do."

Gray, Gajeel, Laxus, and others gradually gathered around, their fighting spirit high.

Stared at by his eager companions, Jiang Bai paused for half a second.

He then rubbed the tip of his nose and gave in.

Fine, I really can't do anything with you guys.

Jiang Bai stretched out his right hand and casually pointed twice in mid-air.

"Since you're so eager to get your hands dirty, I'll leave two dragons behind and give them to you to handle."

The words had barely left his mouth.

With a slight thought, Jiang Bai generated a precise, targeted diversion of his massive Telekinesis field.

In a remote corner on the left, the gravity on the bodies of a fiery dragon engulfed in hellfire and another giant dragon with emerald green jade scales covering its body collapsed instantly.

The two giant dragons suddenly rolled over and rose to their feet, letting out a roar that shook the heavens, and spread their wings to swoop down into the open streets surrounding the square.

The selection process for the two dragons that Jiang Bai kept was very meticulous.

The giant dragon, whose entire body was engulfed in hellfire, was named Hellfire Dragon Atlas Flame.

This guy was a close friend of the Fire Dragon King Igneel during the Dragon King Festival four hundred years ago, and belonged to the rare "advocacy group for peaceful coexistence between dragons and humans".

He is not inherently bloodthirsty; his current state is purely due to his mind being forcibly altered by Future Rogue's Dragon Control Magic. He is an allied unit that can be awakened by Natsu's words and the same flame.

As for the emerald Dragon of Hisui Zirconis, whose entire body gleamed with the luster of jade.

Although he belongs to the "opposition to the coexistence of dragons and humans", Zirconis has a peculiar personality. Rather than bloody and brutal slaughter, he prefers to use mischievous magic to play with humans. His overall actual aggression is the lowest among the hydras.

Let Natsu and his friends gang up on these two dragons with the lowest risk factor and grind for experience. It's extremely safe, and no one will get killed.

In this day and age, no matter where you go, you have to be mindful of interpersonal relationships.

Without strong backing and connections, coupled with a ruthless and unrestrained nature, even preserving the life of a dragon on this continent is a luxury.

As for the remaining seven evil dragons, whose minds were consumed only with devouring humans and whose bodies radiated pure destructive energy...

Jiang Bai turned around, his gaze falling on the seven enormous creatures struggling desperately in the deep pit, their bodies shimmering with faint ripples of void.

Jiang Bai took a step, walking step by step through the void towards the very center of the pit.

Since their backing is weak and they have such a fiery temper, they have no choice but to stay and become a large-scale material repository for all members of Fairy Tail, bathed in dragon blood.
