Promoted Candidates Caught in the Crossfire

Bang!

Caught off guard, all three of them were slapped into the sea by the massive dragon claw.

"Glub... glub..."

Using sign language, Armored Dragon successfully conveyed his meaning to Sticky Dragon. Then, working together, they dragged Blade Dragon, who was constantly tasting seawater, back to the surface.

Pfft!

Before the three of them could wipe the water from their faces, a vicious gust came at them from behind.

"Armored Dragon's..."

Bang!

Whoosh!

Once their horizontal momentum had been exhausted, the three returned to the sea's embrace. This time, however, they did not resurface. Instead, they went against the current, suppressing the pain in their bodies as they dove toward the seabed.

Roar???

After staring at the ripples on the water for a moment, Black Dragon instantly realized that they were using the water to escape.

Roar!!!

A thick blue-white beam shot from Black Dragon's mouth, cleaving the surface of the sea in two.

Boom!

Splash!

Watching the churning waves, Black Dragon's fury only grew stronger, and the blue-white beams began firing at an even faster pace.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Splash!

It was only after venting for a full quarter of an hour that Black Dragon flapped his wings and departed, leaving behind nothing but a raging sea.

Whoosh!

Not long after Black Dragon left, a Purple-Black Light Orb appeared over the sea.

"Strange!"

"I clearly sensed that guy's aura. Why is he gone?"

Splash!

Only after hearing the waves did the Purple-Black Light Orb notice that something was wrong below.

"The Magic Particles are in an extreme frenzy, and other auras still linger on the surface. Who exactly stopped that guy?" (Jilia: Who the hell wanted to stop that guy? That lunatic charged over and came after us!)

"Either way, Natsu and the others should be safe for now.
