Chapter 773: The Giant Dragon Descending the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Arena
No. 1 Lucy's optimistic attitude silenced everyone.
Looking at her sunny smile that was totally inconsistent with her dress and temperament, they suddenly felt a little pity: How pitiful! This Lucy...
Before I knew it, time had passed quietly. It was dusk, the setting sun was shining, and red clouds filled the sky.
The magicians were standing or sitting in groups of two or three at the Great Magic Fighting and Martial Arts Arena, admiring the beauty of the sunset, but more than that, they were dissatisfied with the king for wasting their entire afternoon.
"So the news about the dragon group is really a prank, right? They made it sound so serious, but they haven't come yet."
"Sure enough, we shouldn't have believed in that prophecy from the beginning!"
"This king is like a fool. Now the kingdom has lost all its credibility..."
"Don't say that. His Majesty summoned us just in case. Now nothing has happened. Isn't it a thousand times better than having tens of thousands of dragons attacking Crocus ?"
After hearing what the experienced uncles said, the young men who were originally dissatisfied immediately calmed down. They thought that it was true, it was much better to be bored here than to fight to the death with the dragons.
On a stand at the highest point of the venue, King Thomas stared solemnly at the fiery clouds in the sky. His brows were furrowed, wrinkles were clearly visible, and his whole body revealed an unresolvable worry.
Behind him, Princess Emerald and Knight Commander Arcadios stood on his left and right, looking at their father and monarch nervously.
"Father, do you think the dragons will really come?"
Princess Emerald was young and impatient, so she asked the question that she had been thinking about for a long time.
"I...I don't know either..."
King Thomas was embarrassed . He was sweating profusely on his forehead and could only wipe it with his handkerchief. "That's what the prophecy letter says..."
King Thomas was very conflicted, as he hoped the dragons would not come so that his kingdom, capital, and palace would be safe and sound and continue to prosper; but he also secretly hoped the dragons would come, so that it would prove that the contents of the prophecy were true, that he had not deceived the magicians under him nor believed the rumors, and that he was still a wise monarch.
This contradictory mentality tormented the short king, but he knew in his heart that if he were really asked to choose whether to let the dragons come or not, he would definitely choose not to come.
Because Thomas is an excellent king, he knows that the safety of people's lives is more important than his own and the royal family's credibility!
"But there is still no news so far..."
Princess Emerald secretly complained, and then continued, "Actually, isn't Father being too careless this time? Even if it's a prophecy letter, there's a chance that it's completely fake!"
"For example, the results of the first six days of competition written in the letter could have been 'inferred' from existing intelligence, or it could have been completely coincidental."
"The biggest doubt is that the prophecy letter did not include the result of the last day's competition, which greatly reduces its credibility!"
King Thomas listened to Princess Emerald's words quietly until she stopped, then he sighed and said, "You are right, but as a king, I cannot gamble..."
His gaze was not only on the red clouds in the sky, but also on the magicians below who had made preparations for the battle with the dragons!
Fortunately, our Fiore Kingdom wizard group is full of talented people!!
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the distant sky. At the same time, the space was slightly agitated, the mountain shook gently, the direction of the wind changed drastically, and the air was mixed with a fishy, cold and dark breath.
The sky darkened rapidly.
A huge black hole appeared in the distance, in the direction where the sun was setting, in the fiery red sky.
“Are you here??”
King Thomas, Princess Emerald, and the Knight Commander were all startled at the same time. They immediately turned around and ordered their soldiers, "Quickly inform all soldiers to be alert and prepare for battle! Also, tell the wizards to be careful too!!"
“Yes…Yes!!!”
Upon receiving the order, the soldier immediately ran back, loudly informing his colleagues passing by of the king's order, and finally arrived at the broadcasting room.
In order to ensure that orders are delivered quickly to every soldier and wizard, King Thomas had already set up the broadcasting equipment in the venue on standby at all times, and now was the time to use it.
"Emergency notice! Emergency notice!!"
"An unknown black hole of magical power has appeared in the sky to the west of the venue. All soldiers and wizards must be careful and prepare for battle as soon as possible!!"
"Emergency notice..."
The broadcasts
A wizard with a keen sense like Kira didn't need to wait for the broadcast to react. He was almost one of the first people in the venue to discover the strange magic black hole. While the king was still chatting with the princess, he had already asked his companions from various guilds to prepare for battle.
"What is that black hole? Is it a space channel?"
"Is it my illusion? It seems to be getting bigger, and it seems to be getting closer and closer to us!!"
"They came from the west? That's good, at least we can help delay the people in the capital for a while..."
Getting closer... Getting closer...
As time went by, the black hole expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was getting closer and closer to the venue of the Great Magic Fighting Show. Along with it came an unimaginable amount of magical pressure.
It is as heavy as a dozen mountains, as painful as the pressure of thousands of meters deep sea, colder than running naked with ice in your mouth in the dead of winter, and darker than ten thousand meters underground...
The moment this terrifying magical power came over, more than 90% of the soldiers and wizards lost the ability to move. They were trembling all over, their pupils were constantly shaking, their hearts were beating violently, and they were almost like puppets with their souls sucked out, completely forgetting their identities and responsibilities.
"Is this true? Does this magic power really exist?..."
“Gulu… What kind of existence can have such a terrifying pressure??!”
"Hey, everyone! Do you feel that this magic is familiar?"
While the wizards of various guilds were discussing the black hole, in "Fairy Tail", Natsu was trembling all over, his face horrified, shaking all over, like a child who had lost his mother, and said to his companions around him.
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention and concern.
"Natsu, are you okay??"
The harpy spread its wings and flew over to his partner, looking worriedly at this boy who usually gave people confidence but now looked even more helpless than himself.
Lucy quickly followed, standing next to Natsu and hugging him gently, hoping that the warmth of her body and the familiar smell could give him even a little sense of security.
Noticing Natsu's uneasiness, Gajeel's eyes flashed, and he smiled defiantly, beginning to show his tsundere nature: "No way... Fire Dragon, are you scared at this moment? Why don't you just hide behind me and let me protect you. Anyway, you don't need any more..."
"Something seems to be wrong! I've never seen Natsu look like this." Erza frowned and used a cold voice to stop the noise from others.
At this moment, Natsu said again with a trembling voice: "Didn't you find out? This magic power is..."
Magic? What is it? Whose is it?
No one heard the last name in Natsu's words because it was drowned out by the deafening roar coming from the black hole.
Along with this roar that seemed to tear the world apart, terrifying magic power instantly overwhelmed the area and enveloped the entire mountain! !
The mages of Fairy Tail widened their eyes at the same time, and a name buried deep in everyone's heart emerged in their minds.
Acnologia!!
