Dragon Slayers and Dragons

Roar!

Countless tiny metal dragons burst from their shells, blocking everyone's path.

"What are those?!"

"One dragon was already hard enough to deal with..."

Cold sweat ran down Elfman's forehead. If these newly hatched dragons had that absurd defense too... they might really have no hope.

Bang!

A figure wrapped in lightning punched Atlas Flame in the head, drawing the giant's attention.

"I'll handle the big one! Find a way to deal with the smaller dragons!"

"You can't handle him alone!"

Romeo shouted anxiously. They had just witnessed that overwhelming strength; it was not something one person could withstand.

"No! He isn't alone!"

Freed's voice rang out behind them as the three members of the Thunder God Tribe stepped forward!

"We'll support you, Laxus. Leave it to the Thunder God Tribe!"

"You all heard Qian Guang's voice, right? Only Dragon Slayer Magic can defeat dragons. Leave this to Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe!"

Mavis instructed everyone. At that moment, she became the strategist once more!

"Gajeel, deal with the other dragons! Everyone else, defeat the smaller ones!"

Erza stared intently at the swarm of metal dragons ahead.

"Got it! Everyone, move carefully!"

Elfman turned toward the smaller dragons. As he passed Evergreen, he quietly said, "Don't die..."

"I know, idiot..."

"Rogue! Leave this one to me! Go to the other dragons and help the guilds that don't have Dragon Slayers!"

Sting had heard Qian Guang's voice as well. He told Rogue to support the other guilds while his own group held back the dragon before them!

Rogue nodded without hesitation. This was not the time for petty pride. They had to unite if they wanted to win!

Holy white light shone as it relentlessly bombarded the dragon's body.

"The ruthless Sabertooth is gone! We have to keep moving forward!"
