When You're in a Bad Mood, You Have to Let It Out on the Spot

Jiang Bai glanced at Atlas Flame and casually made the arrangement.

"This guy is from some future timeline, and his dragon-taming techniques are specifically designed to target your dragon race."

"Take him back to the primitive era four hundred years ago. Whether he is burned to ashes by you or torn to pieces by other dragons is entirely up to his own fate."

Upon hearing this decision, the Hellfire Dragon's initial tension was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy and ferocity.

Atlas Flame lowered its massive head, and with a stomp of its enormous dragon claw, it pinned Future Rogue beneath its palm.

"Haha! Great! This suggestion is exactly what I've been looking for!"

Atlas Flame spewed two jets of scorching flame from its nostrils, burning the robes of Future Rogue, and coldly delivered its verdict.

"You dare to use such vile and despicable magic to manipulate my mind? Once I return to four hundred years ago, I'll make you experience what hell truly means!"

In the Future Rogue's face turned ashen, and he struggled and cried desperately, but the strength of a mortal was utterly insignificant under the iron claws of a dragon.

Atlas Flame didn't delay any longer. With a swift downward gulp, its massive jaws gripped Future Rogue tightly between its teeth, before its wings flapped violently.

The massive fiery body transformed into a scorching line of fire, shooting straight into the golden light barrier of the Eclipse Gate.

Before leaving, Future Rogue seemed to know his fate and resign himself to it, no longer resisting. So he said to Present Rogue, "Hey! Present me! You must protect Frosch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of Hellfire Dragon and Future Rogue completely disappeared from this era.

At the bottom of the stone steps, Lucy and Yukino withdrew their hands in unison.

The Zodiac, which had been floating in mid-air, dimmed their light and returned to the palms of the two women.

The massive Celestial Spirit magic was disconnected.

Click!

Two massive bronze doors, tens of meters high, slammed shut inwards with a heavy thud as the mechanisms locked, completely closing the passage connecting the two eras.

The previously turbulent air currents stopped instantly.

The underground open space of the royal palace has returned to complete tranquility.

The mages from the various guilds let out a long sigh of relief, and many of them collapsed onto the gravel ground, rubbing their aching arms.

However, Jiang Bai did not stop what he was doing.

Standing directly in front of the gate, Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right arm smoothly, and joined his index and middle fingers together.

The Ethernano were originally scattered around began to resonate violently.

Buzz--

A fist-sized, deep purple energy sphere, radiating pure destructive energy, materialized out of thin air.

The Hollow Technique · Zi.

Arcadios, the Grand Master of the Kingdom's Knights, who was standing at the rear, was catching his breath against the broken wall when he suddenly sensed the chilling destructive energy emanating from Jiang Bai's fingertips.

Arcadios looked up following the direction of the energy and saw that he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, screaming desperately in his hoarse voice behind him.

"Don't want!!"

"Stop! Mr. Jiang Bai! Stop!!"

Arcadios scrambled forward a few steps, flailing his arms wildly in the air.

Jiang Bai didn't even bother to turn his head.

Call out!

A deep purple beam of light shot out, ruthlessly tearing a vacuum rift in its path.

The next instant, a deep purple spot of light was precisely imprinted on the bronze bolt at the very center of the Eclipse Gate.

There was no Heavenly Movement explosion, no cataclysmic flames.

Under the overwhelming mass of the Hollow Technique: Purple, the Eclipse Gate was erased from this world as if by an invisible eraser.

All that remained was a huge, empty crater, its edges as smooth as a mirror.

Arcadios slammed his knees heavily onto the rubble, his hands gripping his scalp so tightly that the veins on his forehead were about to burst.

Arcadios suddenly looked up, pointed at the large crater in the center of the open space, and questioned loudly.

"Why?! Why did you destroy it?!"

"That's the last strategic trump card of the Kingdom of Fiore!"

Hearing this utterly foolish question.

Jiang Bai turned around, put his hands in his coat pockets, and walked step by step across the gravel to stand in front of Arcadios.

He looked down at the knight commander, whose face was filled with grief and indignation.

Jiang Bai asked in a calm tone.

Why destroy it?

"What if we don't completely destroy this broken door, and some ambitious fool jumps out again, wanting to use it to rewrite history?"

Jiang Bai chuckled and stated the most straightforward facts.

"I don't have the time to spend all my time cleaning up the messes made by you self-important royals."

Arcadios's chest heaved violently, clearly still reeling from the immense pain of his treasure's destruction, and he opened his mouth to continue his rebuttal.

However, before Arcadios could utter a sound...

Jiang Bai's tone suddenly turned cold, and his previously calm expression turned completely icy.

"And were you just questioning me? Huh?!"

A heavy, rhetorical question echoed in the open space.

Jiang Bai was extremely unhappy at this moment.

He single-handedly fought a group of dragons at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and just now he completely quelled and resolved a devastating dragon calamity for the entire capital.

Although nine dragon corpses were confiscated as payment, they were spoils of war obtained through pure skill and had nothing to do with these lazy royal incompetents.

These guys are not only ungrateful, but they even dare to jump out and yell at me for a mere broken door.

Jiang Bai's most cherished life principle is: if I'm not feeling well, why should the person who made me feel well?

Swish!

Without any warning of any magical activity, Jiang Bai vanished into thin air.

In the next millisecond, Jiang Bai's tall figure appeared instantly in front of Arcadios without any doubt.

Arcadios's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and all the muscles in his body instantly stiffened.

Jiang Bai remained expressionless, his right hand clenched into an iron fist. He didn't even bother to use any extra magic power, relying solely on the superhuman strength of his reconstructed body to deliver a straight punch to Arcadios's soft abdominal flesh.

Bang!

The heavy, solid sound of flesh colliding exploded out.

Arcadios's steel armor caved inwards, leaving a fist-sized dent. He couldn't even gag, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

A torrent of pure physical kinetic energy poured in.

Arcadios's broad and muscular body transformed into an out-of-control cannonball, flying straight back dozens of meters away.

Boom!

He was completely embedded inside a load-bearing stone wall of the palace. Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly along the wall, and large pieces of rubble fell down, burying the knight commander halfway up his body.

His head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

The mages from the surrounding guilds all took a half step back, shrank their necks, and no one dared to utter a sound.

Erza glanced at it briefly, then looked away, completely ignoring it.

Or rather, Jiang Bai, as the savior, had given so much and was still being questioned; it was already a favor that she didn't intervene.

That punch landed squarely.

Jiang Bai stood still, shook his wrist, and exhaled a long breath of stale air, feeling refreshed.

"Cool!"

"When you're in a bad mood, you should let it out on the spot. Keeping it inside is so unhealthy for your physical development."
