Techniques for slaying dragons?

The figure shrouded in black robes subtly changed his expression.

As the most powerful mage in this small country, his specialty is Shadow Magic.

Their strength also reached the level of S-Class Mage.

Perhaps, compared to the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ishgar Continent, they are no match for them.

However, in a real fight, their strength is comparable to that of the bottom-ranked individuals.

After all, no matter how weak a small country is, there's always one tall one among the short ones.

However, when he realized that the one who had come to destroy the country was actually the legendary Black Dragon King Acnologia, his so-called thoughts of resistance vanished instantly.

He abandoned the entire kingdom and surrendered alone.

In particular, witnessing firsthand the vast Royal Army, a mighty force of thousands of mages joining forces.

Still, they were no match for the dragon's the Roar.

Ghost Shadow was very glad that he had made the right choice.

Such a powerful dragon was practically a god in Ghost Shadow's eyes.

Humans are no match for dragons.

However, now Acnologia tells him that there exists in this world an even more ancient being than the Dragon Slayer, known as the Dragon-Slaying Mage.

With just a single sword, one can slay a dragon!

Is this really possible?

At least, after witnessing firsthand the power of the Black Dragon King Acnologia, Ghost Shadow didn't even dare to dream of it.

"What, you also think this is a joke?" Acnologia said with a sneer.

"Back then, those guys also thought Dragon Slayer were a joke."

"But in the end, didn't they still fall into the hands of humans?"

"Of course, they're all trash. I'm different from them because I'm human!"

The Ghost Shadow's face turned pale instantly.

There are many historical records about the origins of the Black Dragon King Acnologia.

Among them is the Black Dragon King Acnologia, who is said to be Dragon Slayer.

However, as the Dragon Slayer Magic was used more frequently, Black Dragon King Acnologia, transformed into a dragon.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?" Acnologia turned around and sneered.

"No, sir, I didn't mean anything by it, please don't misunderstand." The Ghost Shadow's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't kill you since you brought me some interesting information."

Acnologia smiled knowingly, looking at the ruins of the dock.

"Originally, I wasn't planning on going to the Ishgar Continent, but since such a brat has appeared, I'll make the trip myself."

"If there's anyone to blame on in the Ishgar Continent, it's that brat who overestimated himself and called himself a so-called Dragon Slayer. He'll pay with his life."

roar!

The roar of the dragon resounded throughout the heavens.

Acnologia let out a dragon's roar, its body instantly transforming into a giant dragon. With a sudden flap of its wings, it stirred up a huge gust of wind and soared straight into the sky.

The towering figure was instantly swallowed up by the clouds.

The Ghost Shadow kneeling on the ground collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if completely exhausted.

Looking back at the small country reduced to ruins.

He knew perfectly well that the Ishgar Continent was many times more powerful than this small country.

They will definitely pay a heavy price for this arrogant scoundrel who calls himself Dragon Slayer.

With this in mind, Ghost Shadow quickly composed himself, hastily activated his magic, and rushed towards Ishgar.

He knew perfectly well that Acnologia had indeed spared his life.

However, if one doesn't act as a pawn properly, then no matter where he flees to, he will face certain death.

At the same time, this incident was intended to let the world know the terror of the Black Dragon King.

He decided he needed to do some other things in private.

Three days later, the morning sunlight fell like scattered gold dust.

Bai Yu stretched and walked towards the guild.

" The Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Blazing flames shot out from the main entrance.

Like a giant pillar of fire, it appeared in front of Bai Yu in the blink of an eye.

However, as soon as he got close, Bai Yu's body swayed like a willow catkin and brushed past the flames.

His feet, however, were like tree roots firmly planted in the earth, and he didn't move an inch.

As the flames brushed past him, a figure rushed straight towards Bai Yu.

A fist engulfed in flames struck directly at Bai Yu.

However, as soon as they got close, the katana at Bai Yu's waist was slapped away.

He beat Natsu's fist to the punch and struck him in the chest at a tricky angle.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed as Natsu was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

He crashed headfirst into a pillar seven or eight meters away before coming to a stop.

" Ice-Make Magic: Ice Dragon!"

A biting cold wind swept towards me.

A massive ice dragon, several meters long, rapidly attacked Bai Yu from the left.

Bang!

Its gaping maw snapped shut, clamping down on Bai Yu.

Faced with this attack, Bai Yu seemed completely unaware, and suddenly looked up.

He placed his right hand on the ice dragon, and his five fingers suddenly gripped it tightly, like a shovel.

" Dragon Claw Fist - Breath Control!"

Bang!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly beneath his hands, and a massive surge of Ryuo Haki swept back like a tide.

In an instant, the enormous ice dragon shattered.

The massive shockwave, carrying large amounts of ice crystals, instantly sent Gray flying.

Once all the ice crystals and shards had dissipated, Bai Yu pulled out a bottle of wine, smiled, and took a swig.

"We lost again! This is the tenth time we've been defeated. Natsu and Gray are truly men!" Elbaf flexed his arms, showing off some muscles, and spoke first.

"Unfortunately, Bai Yu was simply monstrous; he took them down without even drawing his sword."

"No wonder Mira and Lisanna always think about her."

Mira and Lisanna were completely stunned; they had never expected Elbaf to suddenly say something like that.

If I hadn't been quick-witted and agile, the cup in my hand would probably have shattered long ago.

The only thing that made them feel relieved was that Makarov, who was standing to the side drinking, was the first to burp and say with a smile.

"Alright, Bai Yu, everyone's waiting for you. Next, we're heading to Tenrou Island for the S-Class mage assessment."

"As for those participating in this assessment, they are you, Natsu, Gray, Cana, and Elbaf."

"As for those responsible for guarding the pass, they are Laxus, Gildarts, Erza, and myself."

"And other members."

"You will succeed in passing the test only if you break through our defenses, reach the designated location, and obtain the fairy's token."
