Going Home Together

He wanted to fight Zeref right away, but thankfully he was calmed down.

As we descended the mountain, we saw Makarov standing on the edge.

Although he was shocked to see Mebis Makarov, he prioritized the greater good and quickly explained the situation to Mebis.

After hearing this, Mavis looked incredulous.

The person she chose is going to betray her and follow her man instead?!

Ling Yuan found this absurd; it seemed they had come full circle.

"Is it because of me again?"

He felt even more guilty after hearing that Hades wanted to destroy Fairy Tail because of him.

Fortunately, Mavis punched him in the chest, which brought him back to his senses.

"The first one, he was..." Makarov asked.

"Let me introduce you, my love, Zeref."

"What?!" Makarov exclaimed.

"I know what you're thinking, but believe me, I'll give you an explanation later," Mavis said.

"Since the First Generation has said so..." Erza murmured, putting down her sword.

But Gray couldn't help himself; the thought of Ur's smile before his death filled him with rage, "Zeref!"

"Gray!"

Natsu grabbed Gray and pinned him down.

"Are you going to stop me, Natsu?!"

"I'm not stopping you, but I'm willing to believe, to believe in the First Generation, and to believe in the Guild!" Natsu said.

"Don't let anger cloud your judgment, Gray!" Erza snapped.

"Erza, you..." Gray was taken aback.

"I haven't forgotten about Jellal and the Tower of Heaven!" Erza said calmly.

Gray: "..."

"I'm so sorry for causing you so much irreparable harm," Zeref said, bowing his head.

"I don't need your pretense!" Gray sneered.

"I know that because of me, I have brought a lot of disasters to this world."

"But could you give me a chance to atone for my sins?"

"First Generation, what does this mean?" Makarov asked.

Mavis took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Black Dragon, Loki is coming!"

Chapter 408 Going Home Together

"Akunolokia?!"

"The black dragon in the Apocalypse... First Generation, are you telling the truth?!"

Makarov was shocked to hear Mavis's words.

"Dragon?"

Venti and the others were taken aback.

This word probably only came to their attention eight or nine years ago.

"Yes." Mavis nodded.

"The black dragon Akunolokia will appear following the aura generated by the massacre."

Zeref looked at the dark airship, his expression filled with sorrow. "On that airship, there is an extremely strong sense of resentment and death."

Zeref understands the preciousness of life, so he has always avoided contact with the world, but there are always some people who want him to abandon himself.

"A massacre?" Natsu, stunned.

"Hades believes that Zeref has fallen into a deep sleep, so something called the 'Zeref's Key' is needed to awaken him," Ling Yuan said.

"That's just a story from hundreds of years ago," Zeref said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"It's a concept created by a group of people who blindly believe in the dark mage Zeref, but I've always been awake to it."

"I actually believed the stories from ancient times..." Zeref's eyes were filled with self-reproach.

Because of me, so many people have died.

Ling Yuan looked at the dark airship and said calmly, "In that Zeref's Key, the souls of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, which have been slaughtered over the years, are sealed. Roughly estimated, there are about a hundred thousand."

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned by this number.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Gray grabbed Zeref by the collar. "Look what you've done!!"

"Stop, Gray! Zeref knows nothing about these things!" Erza said.

Zeref looked at Gray, then closed his eyes. "I won't fight back. No matter what, the damage I caused will never be undone. I'm sorry..."

"Zeref ..."

Mavis gripped Zeref's arm tightly; only those who had experienced it firsthand knew how desperate it was.

"Don't think that dying a heroic death will solve everything!" Gray said angrily as he shoved Zeref away.

"Gentlemen, the most important thing now is to figure out how to survive Akunolokia's attack!" Mavis said, trying to smooth things over.

"That monster...we can't win," Gildarts had been silent all along, suddenly said.

"Gildarts?" Makarov looked up, surprised, at Gildarts.

"Guild Master, if that monster comes, the only thing we can do is run."

As Gildarts spoke, he silently unfastened his cloak, revealing wooden arms and legs.

"Uncle, your body!" Gray and the others stared at Gildarts in shock.

His left hand and left foot had completely disappeared, replaced by wooden prosthetics.

Makarov's gaze also turned serious.

"Bang!"

Just then, an explosion rang out.

The silent crowd quickly shifted their gaze, fixing it on the direction of the airship.

Then a dark figure was seen flying out of the dust and crashing heavily onto the beach.

"Precht?!" Mavis exclaimed.

"Ray, it's Laxus!"

Natsu looked at the lightning mixed in with the dust and exclaimed excitedly.

The instant Natsu's words fell

A yellow figure flew out from the shattered roof of the airship.

Behind it, the Electro Hypostasis.

What is that?

"I've never seen Laxus use it."

The Thunder Legion were also completely baffled.

"You gave it to him, didn't you, Mr. Ling Yuan?" Mavis said.

"Why?"

The others paused, looking at Ling Yuan in surprise.

"It's just that you all have cats, Laxus is a bit lonely without a pet," Ling Yuan chuckled.

Nazgajeru and the others exchanged glances.

It seems so, indeed.

"Don't run away, the battle has only just begun."

As Laxus watched Hades get up, a bloodthirsty smile crept onto his lips.

"Trap him, Electro Hypostasis!"

As Laxus finished speaking

The Electro Hypostasis that had been quietly hovering behind him flew out.

They transformed into six pillars of lightning, falling from the sky to form a lightning dungeon, locking Laxus and Hades inside.

"I haven't gotten fired up yet."

Laxus chuckled as he looked at the dragon tattoo on his arm.

"That hateful brat!"

Hades roared.

The dark purple magic in his hand surged, forming a black sphere.

"Dark Wave!"

The fact that the [Grimoire Heart] inside the airship was not destroyed means that Hades can continue to live.

Laxus tapped his toes and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing forward.

Arrived above Hades in an instant.

With both hands clenched into fists, lightning converged, forming an electric ball.

"Lightning Dragon's Jaw!"

Laxus roared in fury and slammed his fists heavily into Hades' head.

"Ah!"

Bang!

With a scream, Hades's upper body was slammed into the ground.

Based on the essence of last-hitting

Laxus added another ultimate ability.

"Thunder Pressure Raging Waves!"

Boom!

A thunderbolt as thick as a waterfall fell straight down from the sky!

Bang!

The entire Tenrou Island trembled.

"Laxus, wow, so strong!" Natsu, watching from the sidelines, swallowed hard.

"Laxus has completely surpassed me," Makarov said with satisfaction.

He was gratified that his grandson was willing to use this power to protect his family.

"Huh? Beyond the guild master? Does that mean Laxus has already reached the Ten Wizard Saints?" Natsu exclaimed in surprise.

"Laxus..." Erza stared blankly at Laxus, who was bathed in lightning and brutally beating Hades.

"Precht, did I misjudge him after all?" Mavis murmured, looking at Hades, who was barely clinging to life after being brutally beaten.

On the spot

Looking at Hades, whose mouth was agape and whose body was completely paralyzed, Laxus loosened his clenched fist.

"What is the power of a dragon? A demon."

Unfortunately, Hades can no longer hear anyone speak.
