"it's me."
A figure emerged from the cave and greeted the two people in the cell with a rather dashing tone, "It's been a while, President Lucy and Captain Erza."
Erza looked at the man in front of her who looked exactly like Gajeel and suddenly realized, "So it was you. Yes, only your intelligence network could have found the structural map of the Black Prison, underground reporter Gajeel."
"I am truly flattered to hear praise from you, after all, you used to be the one chasing after me, the lawless reporter who reported on the evil deeds of King Faust."
The bespectacled man, Gajeel No. 2, dressed in a suit and tie, loosened his tie, took off his hat and dusted it off, then turned to look at the person whose limbs were bound by chains. "Actually, we came here to rescue another person, or rather... another me."
Gajeel naturally saw him in this world as well. "Hehe, what tasteful clothes, and such good manners and knowledge, just like me."
Gajeel 2 pushed up his glasses. "You're just like me in that you're both wild and cool."
"By the way, I have a lot of knowledge about music, especially singing and musical instruments."
"Oh, we're exactly the same in that respect. Everyone who has heard my wonderful music has praised it."
"..."
Watching the two Gajeels hit it off immediately and shamelessly flatter each other, Lucy shook her head helplessly.
When she first arrived in Edolas, she happened to land near the capital and unfortunately ran into a patrol of soldiers who seemed to have mistaken her for another Lucy and were being chased around.
Fortunately, even in Edolas, the Protoss could still answer her call, and the pursuers were easily dealt with under the giant axe of the hardworking Taurus.
Just when Lucy was wondering what to do next, Gajeel 2 found her and told her that Gajeel had been defeated and captured.
So Gajeel II led the way, and with Virgo Balgo's earth magic clearing the way, the two successfully entered the Black Prison from underground.
Lucy closed the Virgo door and summoned the Taurus celestial spirit again. The lecherous bull immediately got excited when he saw the three beautiful women and chopped half of the cell in half with an axe.
"Talos, you're using too much force. It wouldn't be good if we got caught..."
Lucy's jinx took effect almost instantly; the moment her words fell, the roar of machinery began to approach from afar.
A gigantic figure, three meters tall, appeared at the gates of the Black Prison.
That was a magical mechanical dragon, the very same "Dragon Knight Armor" that King Faust once used as his trump card, a forbidden weapon of war.
Because of its enormous size, which made it inconvenient to carry, the fact that it required a lot of magic power to activate, and the fact that even when activated, it was no match for Hopeless, the combination of these factors led Faust to abandon the "Dragon Knight Armor" when he fled.
Hopeless, who got a bargain, used the Despair Energy to enable the "Dragon Knight Armor" to move without an internal operator.
Looking at the mechanical dragon that had been attracted by the commotion, Lucy felt like crying. She should have known better than to shake Carlos, that lecherous bull.
Talos was also a little embarrassed. He had just wanted to show off in front of the beautiful woman, but instead of showing his face, he had caused trouble.
However, there's still a chance for him to shine!
"Moo!"
Talos recognized the two streams of heat from his nostrils and swung his giant axe at the dragoon armor.
Seeing Lucy's eagerness, Erza 2 pulled her back, "Dragon Riders are immune to magic; only Dragon Slayers can fight them."
Dragon Slayer Mage?
Isn't there one right here?
Lucy subconsciously looked at Gajeel not far away. Although he had been rescued from the chains by Gajeel Number Two, he seemed to be weak because he had run out of magic.
"Eat this quickly!"
Lucy took out the magic potion that Mystergan had given her. "This potion will allow you to recover your magic normally in this world."
Without hesitation, Gajeel swallowed the small pill Lucy threw to him, then turned and bit into the chains that had bound him.
Chicken flavor, crunchy!
Under the shocked gazes of the three Edolas, Gajeel devoured the chain. For a Dragon Slayer mage, the normal way to restore magic power is to eat things of the same attribute.
Just then, Talos's figure vanished into starlight under the Dragon Knight's beam cannon.
It was, after all, a forbidden weapon for war. A celestial being whose power was restricted by magic and unable to exert its true strength, especially a Taurus who only engaged in melee combat, of course couldn't last long.
"Let me, the grandpa, do it!"
Gajeel, having regained his magic power, roared and leaped over Erza No. 2, who had retrieved her magic spear. His figure charged straight at the giant dragon rider, with no superfluous movements, only a smooth, continuous inhalation and exhalation of magic power.
A spiraling silver breath, amplified by the raging power of the dragon, roared out from within the magic circle. This was one of Gajeel's few pure magic attack techniques, and it was also the signature skill of the Dragon Slayer Mage.
Iron Dragon's Roar!
Chapter 191 The Cat Couple
Four spaceships flying fairy flags sped through the floating islands toward the royal capital.
On the control panel, Natsu II excitedly operated the instrument panel, and the spaceship performed various difficult flight maneuvers under his piloting, causing everyone on board to sway and stagger.
"Natsu! Slow down!" Levy 2 shouted, gripping the handrail.
Natsu II, however, seemed oblivious, completely absorbed in the thrill of speeding through the spaceship. "This ship's performance is absolutely amazing! It's definitely the real deal! Woohoo!"
Beside him was Natsu One, his face green and slumped in his seat, with Happy fanning him with a small fan.
Hope stood by the porthole, gazing at the ever-approaching outline of the capital. Under the purple sky, the streets were deserted, and the entire city was eerily quiet.
In the heart of the city, the thirty-meter-tall black tower stands out among the many buildings, its body radiating an ominous dark purple magical aura.
"That is the Tower of Despair."
Hugh Boy walked over to Hope and explained in a low voice, "Hopleth spends most of his time there; the Black Prison at the bottom of the tower holds all the rebels."
"Your companions who were brought to this world by 'Anima' are placed in the central square in the form of magic crystals."
Wendy held Charlotte tightly, her little face filled with worry, "I wonder how everyone is doing..."
Hope felt the thin yet unusually restless flow of magic in the air, her brows furrowed, her mind filled with the information she had learned from Hugh Boy.
It was Hopeless's order to use "Anima" to lock onto Aslant's Fairy Tail and teleport it to Edolas.
Hopleth's power comes from despair, and the magic he plunders is of little use to him, so why would he do it on purpose?
Without further thought, Hope knew the answer was right in front of her.
As the four spaceships entered the airspace above the royal capital, Levy's loud voice, accompanied by crackling electrical noise, came from the communication magic device: "High-energy reactions detected from the surrounding area, in... large quantities!"
Actually, she didn't need to say it; everyone had already seen it.
Metal constructs slowly rose from all parts of the royal capital. They had the ferocious outlines of dragons, were covered in heavy magical armor, had magic crystals embedded in their joints, and their eyes shone with a scarlet light.
At a glance, there were as many as ten.
"Oh no! It's a clone of the Dragon Knight's armor!"
Hugh Boy's expression changed drastically. "These armors are miniature versions of the forbidden weapon 'Dragon Knight' that Hopeless created using the kingdom's magical resources. Each one can unleash one-tenth of the 'Dragon Knight's' power!"
"Wow, it's only one-tenth!"
Hope coldly remarked without expression, "What a weakling."
"Roar--!!"
The lead small dragon armor let out a deafening roar, its chest crystal shining brightly, and a thick beam of magic energy tore through the air, heading straight for the fleet.
Hope casually picked up the seasick Natsu and tossed him aside, saying, "I choose you! Go, Natsu!"
"Wow! I'm fired up!"
The moment Natsu left the spaceship, he regained his senses. He was in mid-air, his hands already ablaze with flames.
Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!
Blazing fiery wings suddenly unfurled behind him, transforming into two enormous, intersecting fire blades that slashed fiercely at the beam of light.
Flames and beams of magic collided violently in mid-air, exploding into a shower of light. The head of the small dragon armor was knocked backward, cracks appeared in its visor, revealing the terrified expression of the controller inside.
Before he could react, the Dragon Slayer Flames slammed into him.
Watching his comrade fall like a meteor, the other nine small dragon armors launched an attack on Natsu simultaneously, while Natsu's flying support, Happy, had already captured him.
The battle instantly intensified.
The nine dragon knights, in perfect coordination, alternated between ranged and melee attacks, their magical light, explosive flames, and the clanging of metal echoing across the capital.
Hope entrusted the aerial battlefield to Natsu with peace of mind. After directing the four ships to land, he looked at Wendy, his guildmates from this world, and Hugh Boy.
"Wendy is a Dragon Slayer Mage. She can restore people who have been turned into magic crystals by Anima to their original form."
"Please escort her there."
Although the exact mechanism is unknown, Mystogan did say that "Anima" has no effect on Dragon Slayer Mages, and in fact, Dragon Slayer Mages can break free from the Magic Crystal transformation.
"And what about you, Hope?"
Seeing Wendy's worried expression, Hope smiled and patted her head. "Someone is waiting for me, so of course I have to keep my appointment."
Hope looked up at the black tower not far away.
At the top of the tower, a figure seems to stand quietly.
Levy 2 understood that Hope was going to deal with the Despair Emperor, so she immediately called her companions, grabbed Wendy, and rushed towards the central square. Hugh Boy hesitated for a moment, but finally led the soldiers who had also switched sides with him to give chase.
Meanwhile, in another direction from the capital, three figures descended from the sky with the help of two Transcendent beings.
"Thank you both so much."
Makarov smiled as he looked at the two cats, one white and one blue, before him. He, Gildarts, and Mystogan had been teleported to Edolas and landed on a small floating island.
Only a couple of Transcendent beings lived on that sky island. They not only warmly welcomed Makarov and his companions, but also told them about the tremendous changes that had taken place in the world.
Upon learning that the three outsiders were going to deal with the "Despair Emperor," the cat couple warmly led them to the outskirts of the capital.
"Laki, Mar, do you want to come in with us?"
Gildarts hooked his arm around Mystogan's shoulder and looked at the cat couple, "The three of us are super strong, so helping you rescue the Transcendent who was captured by the Despair Emperor is no big problem."
The white cat named Raki, with a full beard, spoke up unhappily, "Crack—who wants to save those unreasonable guys? The destruction of the Transcendent Kingdom is their own fault."
"Don't say that, honey."
Blue Cat Mar grabbed her husband's hand, "Although we were expelled from Extania, we are still the Transcendent race no matter what."
"A race? When they took our children, did they never consider that we were a race? When they sent our unhatched children to Aslant, did they never consider that we were a race...?"
Before Raki could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the damaged dragon armor that fell from the sky.
