"Pfft~ Haha..." A crisp, melodious chuckle suddenly came from the side.
Zorn turned his head in confusion, wanting to see what had happened. He hadn't said anything strange, had he?
When his gaze fell on Cana, he was stunned.
Cana was laughing so hard she was bent over, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, her face beaming with immense joy.
She laughed while gently covering her mouth with her hand, seemingly trying to hide her embarrassment, but she couldn't help continuing to laugh.
Seeing that the situation was resolved, Cana planned to call Zorn to see what the next step was, but when she got closer, she heard Zorn's narcissistic remarks.
His extremely serious expression was what made Cana laugh.
However, to be honest, Zorn is in his prime, with a head of golden, tousled hair that shines like the sun; his golden eyes are deep and sharp.
Wearing a handsome cape uniform, he stood tall and straight, with a well-proportioned figure, exuding a unique sense of fortitude and decisiveness in every gesture.
It was indeed superior to the human form that the Crystal Dragon had transformed into.
Seeing how happy Cana was, Zorn couldn't help but feel a helpless surge of doting affection. After all, that's Cana; he had no choice but to spoil her.
Most importantly, he doesn't think he's wrong.
"What?! What?! Almost...!"
Ximi, standing to the side, flapped its wings, its big, round eyes fixed on Cana was laughing so happily, and Zorn, who had a doting expression on his face.
His head was also moving back and forth between the two of them.
His face was full of curiosity and doubt, as if he was trying to understand their conversation and figure out what interesting thing had happened.
"It's alright... everything's been resolved smoothly, we can go back to the Fairy Tail now!"
Zorn gently stroked Ximi's fluffy head and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ximi nodded as if she understood, let out a satisfied "Oh~", and then leaped onto Cana's shoulder, found a comfortable spot to lie down, and prepared to embark on the journey home with everyone.
"Mission accomplished! Everyone, let's head back to the Fairy Tail!"
"The Guild Master must be getting impatient!"
Zorn turned his head away, thinking that the Guild Master should be anxiously waiting for them to return, so he shouted loudly.
Meanwhile, Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel were looking themselves up and down, their faces full of suspicion, as if trying to find something.
At that moment, they all had a vague feeling that the dragon seemed to have always been with them.
So they ignored Zorn's words and were completely absorbed in their own thoughts.
Zorn understood what was going on, but he didn't say anything, only revealing a mysterious smile.
"These three dragons are really patient! They haven't shown up yet, not even bothering to greet these three brats?"
Zorn couldn't help but mutter helplessly, shaking his head as he spoke.
They were just about to use teleportation Magic to leave.
However, at that moment, three hostile and threatening gazes suddenly pierced through space like lightning, directly reflecting in his mind.
The eyes of three dragons! They were fixed on Zorn, their eyes burning with furious rage, as if they wanted to incinerate him.
The oppressive aura emanating from the dragon was terrifying. If an ordinary human were here, they would probably be frozen in fear and trembling all over.
However, Zorn could clearly sense that they meant no harm; it was just that Zorn's actions had disrupted their plans.
There is a sense of warning in this.
But Zorn merely snorted and fearlessly met the three pairs of furious, wide-open dragon eyes.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the depths of his mind, like the sun descending upon the world, instantly dispelling the immense pressure exerted upon him by the three giant dragons.
He hadn't originally planned to get involved, but since they had taken the initiative to contact him, he couldn't be stingy.
If they don't come out then, he'll force them to come out during later training sessions!
Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel, standing to the side, seemed completely unaware of what was happening, maintaining their original postures without showing any sign of distress.
The three dragons within his body connected and began to discuss things.
When they sensed the unparalleled and powerful holy light emanating from Zorn, they involuntarily fell into a deathly silence.
"This guy..." Sky Dragon mused to himself, "He actually managed to fight Acnologia to the very end, not only gathering all his strength to successfully repel him, but now he's even forced the three of us out with a single blow. Such strength is truly terrifying!"
The other dragon nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's true. We originally intended to intimidate him and make him back down, but unexpectedly, it backfired, provoking him to react even more strongly. It's a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!"
However, despite facing such difficulties, the three dragons did not feel discouraged or frustrated.
Instead, they developed an unprecedentedly strong interest in the boy Zorn before them.
He secretly plotted to see just how capable this Zorn was, that he actually planned to face all three of them at once later.
On Zorn's side, it doesn't matter whether the three dragons know about his backup plan.
Having made up his mind, he quickly cast Magic, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth beneath everyone's feet, as a huge and magnificent Teleportation Magic Circle appeared.
"Um... thank you!"
Seeing that the group was about to leave, Sonia quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and thanked them in a low voice.
They were the ones who started all the trouble, but Zorn and his group didn't go all out; instead, they showed mercy, for which she was extremely grateful.
"Sonia, Salalala, remember to come visit us at Fairy Tail sometime! Hehe."
Lucy stood in the dazzling light, smiling and waving goodbye to Sonia.
"Goodbye... Sonia!" Wendy hugged Carla tightly, and also gave Sonia a sweet smile as she said goodbye.
Éclair's heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the future.
Éclair thought to herself, "Joining this Fairy Tail might really be a good choice!"
The whole scene appeared exceptionally harmonious and beautiful.
In stark contrast, the members of the Ruby Fairy Tail and the Three Star Generals were all covered in bruises and swelling, some of them seriously injured and unable to even stand up, looking utterly wretched.
All they could think of was, "Is this already considered showing mercy?"
It really is...
