Chapter 774: Jade Princess: We must stand together with everyone!!
The air continued to vibrate, and cracks began to appear on the fragile walls and ground of the mountain and the venue. Under the unprecedented pressure of magical power, a small number of areas experienced weightlessness due to the imbalance of magical power, and the dust was slightly raised.
At this moment, everyone's fate seems to be hanging on the edge of a knife.
The huge magical black hole blocked the setting sun which was almost setting. Under the influence of the violent magical force field, countless disaster clouds gathered above the venue, making the entire sky dark.
This scene was even more terrifying than the one a few days ago when Yalok summoned the Eighteen Fighting Gods of Evil!
Suddenly, a huge black dragon head jumped out from the black hole, followed by a pair of even larger black wings, and a huge black dragon body.
Blocking out the sun and the sky? Bringing darkness? A world-destroying dragon? So terrifying? ...
Several words popped up in the minds of the magicians one after another. They stared at the voice coming from high in the sky with their mouths wide open, and finally realized clearly what the difference in species was.
At that moment, humans finally remembered the fear they once felt when they were dominated by dragons!
"Akunorolia..."
Someone uttered the black dragon's name in a trembling voice, shocking the magicians who had never seen or heard of it before.
"Who is Akunorolia? Is that the dragon's name? Why is it so long?"
“What?! It’s Acnorolia??! The black dragon that can destroy a country with one strike??”
"I know! It's the dragon that ended the Age of Dragons four hundred years ago! Damn it! That kind of existence is simply not something that human power can contend with!!!"
"Wait... I remember now! I heard that it was repelled by Fairy Tail two years ago? Why is it here?! By the way, the wizards in their guild should be able to fight it, right?"
"The magic power released by the invisible form is so terrifying. How powerful is it..."
"Don't tell me that the ten thousand dragons mentioned in the prophecy letter are all like this, or I'll turn around and run now!"
"Should I say you are naive? Akunorolia's strength and style are far beyond your imagination! He can easily kill all ten thousand dragons and us, and then go back to dinner leisurely."
"Can't we ask the wizards of Fairy Tail to help?"
"This is a different time. Although they are very strong, no one can guarantee that there won't be casualties! This is war!!"
“…”
At the venue, people continued to spread fear to those around them with words and actions. As the morale of the troops collapsed, the mages of various magic guilds also began to retreat.
No one can stop this phenomenon, because it is the survival instinct of living things when facing life and death crisis - seeking help from similar beings around them, hoping to get a little encouragement and comfort.
But unfortunately, no one could calmly straighten their backs, pat their chests, and say to others "Don't worry, I will help" when facing Acnorolia. Even Kira, who had just been awarded the title of "The Kingdom's No. 1 Wizard", was the same, because he had never been a pretentious person.
At least that's the case for now.
"This is the third time. Will the winner be decided once and for all this time?" Looking at the figure in the sky that was larger than the venue, Kira murmured in a voice that he could hardly even hear himself.
The third time? What third time?
The people around looked at Kira in confusion, and looked at each other in bewilderment. Only a few people knew that the 'third time' Kira was talking about was the third time he and Acnorolia met.
The first time was two years ago in the Zonia Mountains, and it ended with Kira escaping on an airship; the second time was also two years ago, and the location was on Tenrou Island, and it ended with Kira repelling Acnorolia.
The third time is now!
It can be said that Kira and Acnorolia also have a very "deep" friendship. After all, it is difficult to find someone in this world who can fight Acnorolia more than three times.
"Phew~ I don't know if I can beat him now. That guy looks stronger now!"
Hearing Kira's mumbling, Gray and the others nearby all had an expression of "Are you kidding me?" In their opinion, no matter how strong Kira was, he should not be able to beat Acnorolia, at least not alone.
Kira was enjoying the prelude to battle, which was established between him and Acnorolia, and was reserved for the strong. But then he heard someone talking about him casually behind his back.
"Sure enough, Kira is still so pretentious..."
"What? Who is slandering me?! What do you mean I like to show off? That's complete lies! This level of slander can be considered a personal attack!" Kira immediately turned his head and glared at him, wanting to see who was plotting against him behind his back. He would make sure to teach him a lesson after the battle.
Everyone in Magnolia knows that I, Kira, am the most law-abiding citizen and an outstanding young man. The label of "pretentious" should be shared by people like Laxus!
As a result, when he turned around, he saw that these guys were either looking up at the dragon, or looking down at the ground, or turning to look at other people, but no one dared to look at him.
"No one will admit it, right? Then I'll record every one of them. I'll deal with you when I become the guild president!"
Huh? Is there something wrong? I don't think I should say this.
Forget it, never mind, the important thing now is to fight!
The appearance of Acnorolia undoubtedly gave a strong shock to the hundreds of wizards present. It is unknown whether the citizens in Kurokas who were retreating to the refuge area could feel this shock.
roar!!!
The giant dragon roared, shaking the sky and the earth, causing the entire training ground to shake.
His Majesty King Thomas, who had just run out of the venue, fell flat on his face because of the sway, leaving a red bruise on his nose; as for the Emerald Princess beside him, because of her height advantage, she was hugged by the Knight Commander in time, so as to avoid being hit and bleeding and leaving wounds on her body.
Makarov was the first to spot the father and daughter rushing out. To protect them, he immediately went up to them and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Emerald! What are you two doing here? This will soon become a battlefield between us and Acnorolia. You'd better go inside to be safer..."
In fact, Makarov's plan to place the two members of the Fiore royal family at the rear of the battlefield was the right one. If they were to be blown up, they would be the current idiots... rulers of the Fiore Kingdom. If something happened to them at the same time, the operation of the entire kingdom would definitely be paralyzed. There might even be civil strife or foreign invasion in the kingdom. Even if they won this battle, their lives would not be easy afterwards.
However, facing Makarov's suggestion, Princess Emerald took the lead to answer for old Thomas: "No! Especially at this time, we must be together with everyone! As the king and future heir of the Kingdom of Fiore, even if we are powerless, we can't hide behind and let others protect us!!"
Listen! Listen! What are these words!!
If it were a different person, a different situation, or a different opponent, one could still praise the successor for his kingly spirit, vision, and responsibility. But here, this sentence came from a princess who had no fighting power, and the enemy she was about to face was Acnorolia, who could destroy a country with one blow. It just made people laugh.
Kira listened to the other party's words and was completely speechless . He secretly complained in his heart: This girl must have read too many novels and gone crazy, right? You know that you are a person who has no fighting ability at all, and you still rush out at this time and say that you will stand together with the wizards and the kingdom soldiers. Isn't this nonsense!
As a princess and future heir to a kingdom, you are standing here like a fat sheep on a battlefield of this magnitude, forcing everyone to divert their attention to protect you. What's the difference between this and a show? ?
That is to say, now Kira only has Acnorolia as his enemy. If it were the situation in the original work, where seven giant dragons and countless small dragons attacked Kurokas, Kira would have knocked her out with one punch and thrown her back to the palace.
Of course, Mrs. Makaroo was experienced and well versed in the ways of the world. She would definitely not say directly to Princess Emerald something like "it's not good for you to do this". Instead, she pretended that "the other party has a great vision", "his style is not inferior to any monarch", and "she was not shocked at all".
"You are so wise, Princess!"
Don’t say it next time!
