Closing the Door to Fight the Dragons! The Space Dragon Stripped of Its Authority
The rubble at the edge of the pit was still rolling down the slope.
The two enormous bodies of the Hellfire Dragon and the Dragon of Hisui had already crossed the outer wall of the plaza, rushing towards the east side of the long street with a violent storm.
Natsu unleashed flames from his hands and launched himself into the air.
Gray took off his shirt and followed closely behind.
Erza, clad in Black Wing Armor and wielding a greatsword, leaped onto the rooftop.
The entire Fairy Tail force surged forward, with mages from other guilds also rushing in to share the firepower.
Jiang Bai stood still, flicked his sleeves, and turned to look at Makarov.
"Alright, those two are yours to work on at your leisure."
Jiang Bai pointed to the other seven enormous creatures struggling to climb out of the pit.
"I'll take the remaining seven with me."
"Oh, right! Don't forget there's also a Future Rogue; he's left to you too!"
After saying this, Jiang Bai didn't give Makarov a chance to continue rambling.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
An invisible Psychokinesis instantly spread out from the void, transforming into seven enormous, semi-transparent nets that precisely caught the seven giant dragons at the bottom of the pit.
Seven enormous creatures, each over a hundred meters long, were Telekinesis dragged off the ground by telekinesis and rapidly ascended into the sky.
The violent updrafts roared and howled.
In less than two seconds, the pit was reduced to an empty, desolate mess of rubble.
Members of various guilds on the ground looked up and could still make out the dragons high in the sky, but Jiang Bai could only see a small black dot.
A kilometer into the night sky.
Jiang Bai stood with one hand in his coat pocket, steadily stepping on the void as if walking on flat ground.
He snapped his fingers crisply.
Centered on Jiang Bai's body, the airspace within a radius of ten thousand meters was instantly severed and isolated by Psychokinesis, transforming into a huge, invisible rectangular prism.
The invisible force field wall completely blocked all escape routes.
Even if these dragons fought desperately, not one of them could escape the arena, let alone let the aftershocks of the battle leak below.
The seven giant dragons, having regained their footing, were scattered and suspended in various parts of the cuboid.
Besides the Diamond Dragon, Rock Dragon, Sword Blade Dragon, Dragon of Darkness, and the dragon always called Levia from the original work.
The two additional ones were Wind Dragon with long, bluish-gray wings covering its entire body, and Space Dragon with silver-gray distorted ripples all over its body.
Seven shadowy figures hovered slowly in the high sky, their fleshy wings flapping and producing sharp, muffled bursts of air.
Even though he had just been forcefully shoved into the ground by a gravitational field and swallowed a mouthful of mud, his inherent arrogance remained undiminished.
In the minds of these dominant forces that ruled for four hundred years in ancient times, humanity was always nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
The Dragon of Darkness shook its black head covered in barbs, spewing out a thick, corrosive mist from its massive nostrils, and letting out a thunderous Roar.
"Weak humans! Don't be so arrogant!"
The Dragon of Darkness twisted its thick, long neck, directly attributing its horrific fall to external factors.
"They just launched a despicable sneak attack while our magic was unstable as we crossed the Eclipse Great Gate, which is why we suffered a slight loss!"
The serpentine Levia coiled into a circle in mid-air, its massive mouth agape, revealing four rows of jagged, pale white teeth, with thick saliva dripping from between them.
"Why waste words with this bug!"
Levia's tail lashed out, scattering the surrounding clouds.
"Tear it up and eat it, bones and all!"
The Space Dragon hovering behind didn't even bother to fully unfold its fleshy wings.
The silver-gray dragon scales shimmered with strange light under the moonlight. The Space Dragon glanced at Jiang Bai with disdain before speaking to its companions.
"You guys go ahead."
Space Dragon raised his chin, his words filled with a condescending sense of superiority.
"Mere humans are too weak. They are not worthy of my joining forces with you. If this were to be reported back four hundred years ago, they would only become a laughing stock of the entire dragon race."
Dragons are born proud.
Even after being slammed into a deep pit, these guys stubbornly believe they are an invincible natural disaster.
If the seven dragons were to gang up on a lone human, it would be a disgraceful act that would be beneath their dignity.
Jiang Bai, with his hands in his coat pockets, hovered in mid-air, quietly watching the group of ancient lizards talking to themselves in front of him.
Jiang Bai had absolutely no reason to get angry with these 'treasures' who were about to become his body's tempering tools.
When you see high-quality ingredients delivered to your door, you're too happy to care about what the ingredients are saying.
Jiang Bai stretched his neck and let out a nonchalant chuckle.
"It seems I was truly underestimated."
Before he could finish speaking...
The most volatile and ferocious Sword Blade Dragon was the first to lose its temper.
The Sword Blade Dragon was covered in sharp scales that resembled the blades of heavy metal, and a row of bone spikes on its back clanged.
His body suddenly leaned forward, his throat abruptly contracted, and countless metallic cutting magic forces converged wildly inside his throat.
"The Sword Blade Dragon's Roar!!"
A metallic storm of dragon breath, powerful enough to cleave an entire mountain, burst forth.
Thousands upon thousands of visible metallic blades coalesced into a thick, silvery-white beam of light, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, and pierced straight through Jiang Bai's face.
Faced with this dragon's breath that could instantly slice an entire commercial street into mincemeat.
Jiang Bai didn't even take his hands out of his pockets; he just stood there, his eyelids not even blinking.
The next moment.
As the whistling pillar of metal storm approached Jiang Bai, the originally raging storm of blades seemed to crash headlong into an Infinity abyss.
Distance is forcibly subdivided into Infinity small dimensions.
So close, yet so far.
No matter how frantically the magic within the Sword Blade Dragon surged and gushed forth, the silvery-white beam of destruction could never touch Jiang Bai.
Immediately afterwards, the momentum of the forward rush was exhausted, and the metal fragments scattered in front of Jiang Bai lost all speed, crackling and falling into the faint white light, disappearing into the night sky high in the sky.
Non-invasive barrier.
Even the wrinkles in the fabric of Jiang Bai's coat weren't stirred by the wind.
The other dragons, who had been waiting to see the humans shredded and devoured, froze in mid-air with their massive bodies.
The Diamond Dragon folded its wings, and the low growl from the Rock Dragon's throat abruptly ceased.
These dragons may be arrogant, but they are not fools.
If any one of them were to take the full force of the Saber -Sword Blade Dragon's Roar head-on, it wouldn't necessarily die, but its scales would be torn to shreds, leaving it riddled with wounds.
Even in a deadly battle within the dragon race, no dragon would dare to be so arrogant as to stand still without even assuming a defensive magic stance, simply taking the Roar of a dragon of the same level head-on.
The human before them, whose size resembled an ant, possessed strength far beyond what could be calculated by common sense.
Meanwhile, the Space Dragon, who had been observing coldly from the rear, suddenly widened its two enormous, dark red eyes.
The silver-gray scales on the Space Dragon's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.
Ordinary dragons could only see that Jiang Bai had defended against the attack, but as a dragon born to govern the rules of space, the Space Dragon clearly captured the sudden change in the laws just now.
That wasn't a defensive shield that relied on magic to withstand attacks at all.
That is an absolutely pure spatial curvature folding, a high-level authority that Infinity magnifies finite spatial distance.
In the long four-hundred-year lifespan of the Space Dragon, such a precise and terrifying spatial structure had never been seen on any person or dragon.
Greed instantly overwhelmed arrogance.
The Space Dragon flapped its wings and glided forward for dozens of meters. Its massive head lowered, its gaze fixed on the faint, invisible force field surrounding Jiang Bai.
Hey! Human!
The Space Dragon opened its snout, its voice carrying an urgency and a condescending air of condescension.
"Tell me honestly, what kind of magic is used to create that spatial defense layer on your body?"
The Space Dragon stretched its long neck and offered what it believed to be an irresistible bargaining chip for survival.
"If you teach me the secrets of this Space Magic without reservation, I promise you in the name of the dragon race that when we slaughter this town later, I will spare your life. How about it?"
The Space Dragon stared intently at Jiang Bai, its mind filled with greedy schemes to possess this invincible defense.
Upon hearing these condescending terms, Jiang Bai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Bai stuck out his index finger and picked at his ear, looking at the silver-gray behemoth in front of him with a mocking expression.
"Save me from death? You really think you're some kind of savior?"
Jiang Bai blew away non-existent dust from his fingertips and directly mocked him.
It's not that I'm stingy or unwilling to teach you.
Jiang Bai sighed, his tone full of the helplessness and disdain of an elder looking at a stupid junior.
"The problem is that you're just too stupid to learn it."
Jiang Bai spread his hands, stating the most straightforward facts.
"If word gets out after I kill you, saying I was once your teacher but couldn't even teach you the basics, where will that leave my reputation, Jiang Bai?"
"I can't afford to lose face like that."
This extremely insulting comment instantly shattered the Space Dragon's last shred of pride and patience.
Four hundred years ago, among the dragon race, the Space Dragon had always considered itself extraordinary because of its rare law attributes. It had never been so humiliated in front of a weak human insect.
The Space Dragon's entire body of silver-gray scales stood on end, and its massive mouth emitted a deafening shriek.
"Damn humans! You ungrateful, despicable insects!"
The violent killing intent exploded completely high in the sky.
The Space Dragon suddenly brought its wings together backward, and its claws tore through the void in front of its chest.
"Since you're courting death, then grind yourself into mincemeat!"
"Space Blade!!"
According to the usual spellcasting rhythm, accompanied by this roar, dozens of invisible and colorless dimensional rifts should instantly split open within a radius of a thousand meters, transforming into the sharpest blades to cut the target into powder.
However.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
The air currents in the upper atmosphere remained stable, and the void in front of us did not even ripple.
The Space Dragon froze, looking down at its empty, sharp claws.
The spatial magic within his body surged like a river, but no matter how he tried to activate it, the surrounding spatial structure remained completely still, as if it had been cast from millions of tons of heavy iron.
The spatial elements that were once so easily controlled seemed to have died out completely at this moment, and not even the slightest fluctuation of the void could be mobilized.
The anger in the Space Dragon froze instantly, and even its massive body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.
How is that possible?!
The spatial authority he was born with... was forcibly taken away?!
Jiang Bai stepped through the void, walking step by step towards the Space Dragon.
Jiang Bai looked down at the terrified beast from his high vantage point, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Trying to manipulate space in front of me? You're pathetically stupid."
