"Erza, you mean you're the safest option?" Cana blinked.
"If everyone approves, I don't mind." After spending so much time with that jerk, Erza can now talk nonsense without batting an eye.
Mirajane smiled gently and said, "No way, Erza, I want one too. After all, it's a rare opportunity to come on an adventure, it would be a shame to go back empty-handed."
"Mira, you..."
"Ha! Let's settle this with a fight!"
Natsu ignited a flame, "Whoever is the strongest gets to take it!"
Gajeel licked his lips. "That's a good suggestion. I'm taking Elevseria's heart!"
Laxus smirked, lightning crackling around him. "Fighting? I don't care, I'm just afraid you'll lose too badly."
"Laxus, don't be so arrogant!"
"What, you're not convinced?"
Lucy looked at the increasingly tense crowd, sighed and rubbed her forehead. Here we go again. Can't these people stop fighting all the time?
And Levi, why are you joining in the fun?
Didn't we agree to form a lifelong alliance of the underdogs?
Wendy whispered, "Um...actually, we could decide by rock-paper-scissors..."
"No!" everyone said in unison.
The little girl shrank back in grievance and ran to Lucy for comfort.
Just as everyone was about to start fighting—
"Oh."
A soft laugh suddenly echoed in the domed space.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked warily toward the source of the sound.
As Natsu and Lucy came through the passage, a figure slowly appeared.
It was a large, towering young man resembling a Saiyan, shirtless, with a sun-shaped tattoo on his left chest and dense tattoos on his left arm.
Who are you?!
Natsu instinctively sensed danger, but the scent emanating from the other person gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
The young man withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the crowd, and finally landed on Natsu, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Finally, I've met you, Natsu."
"Let me introduce myself, Ignia."
"You can also call me... Flame Dragon."
Chapter 326 Earth God Dragon
Ignia announced her name, her tone as calm as if she were talking about the weather.
But the moment he finished speaking, everyone became alert. The appearance of the Flame Dragon, which they had been searching for, here could not be a good thing.
"Emperor Flame Dragon, one of the Five Divine Dragons, why are you here?" Erza instantly entered battle mode and drew the Dragon Slayer Sword: King's Authority.
This dragon-slaying weapon can force the power of both sides to be equal for a certain period of time. Although due to the difference in magic power, it may only have a few seconds of effect on the Flame God Dragon, but it is enough to sustain them until their "support" arrives.
“Interesting.” Ignia looked at Erza’s tightly gripped spiral longsword and smiled casually. “The power of a Balanced Dragon… It’s a pity you’re not strong enough to have any effect on me.”
After saying that, he looked at Natsu and said, "You're really incredibly weak. Didn't my irresponsible father teach you properly?"
"Damn it! Igniel wasn't irresponsible!"
Natsu's tone was unfriendly. Ignia's advocacy of being an enemy of humans was testified to by Eresheria, the Water Dragon, and the Moon Dragon.
Looking at the questioning gaze of her half-brother, Ignia smiled disdainfully, "Ignir and those coexistence faction believe in humans, which is why the dragon race has fallen to this state."
"And I will bring back the glorious era of the dragon race!"
Natsu clenched his fist. "No matter what you're trying to do, I'll stop you!"
Ignia just chuckled. To him, Natsu was different from other humans; he was "special," so he didn't mind giving Natsu a chance to challenge himself.
But now is not the time.
Ignia looked at the beating heart with the same expression she had when looking at an interesting toy. “It looks like it will be finished in a few more years. You’ve worked so hard to carry out my plan, my only friend.”
"Who are you talking to?!"
Erza sensed something was wrong and quickly shielded the dragon's heart behind her, while everyone else prepared for an imminent battle.
Ignia smiled.
"You think this is the grave of the Earth Dragon?"
“There’s no need to sweep the graves of the living, don’t you think? My only companion… Dracula Mag.”
Suddenly, the dome cracked, and countless clods of earth poured down like a waterfall. The ground undulated violently, and the walls writhed like muscles. The floor beneath their feet suddenly split open, only to be filled again by the surging earth.
A colossal figure burst forth from the earth.
That was a dragon.
The earth god dragon, Dracula Mag, has awakened from the dead.
He wasn't killed by Eresheria at all! So why did he create a huge labyrinth and steal Eresheria's heart?
This is probably all a conspiracy!
A huge gloom instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Long time no see, Dracula Mag."
The Earth Dragon lowered its head, looked at Ignia in her human form, and laughed, "Hey, brother, what happened? Why did you wake me up early?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Erefseli commissioned some humans to take his heart."
"Heh, Elevseria... I was forced to sleep for a long time because of him." Dracula Mag looked at Erza and the others as if they were a group of ants.
“I have been carefully nurturing that old man’s heart for 100 years. In terms of the ability to collect knowledge and intelligence, this heart now even surpasses Erevseria himself.”
Do you think I'd let you take it?
Everyone was shocked by these words.
Lucy, the most quick-witted of them all, suddenly had a terrifying thought: the Earth God Dragon Dracula Mag was fighting Elevseria in order to steal his heart.
However, no one expected that Elevseria would actually possess the power to slay dragons, causing Dracula Mag to crash and burn, forcing him to transform into a great labyrinth and begin a century of recuperation.
But regardless of winning or losing, he achieved his goal.
The heart of the dragon will become his power, allowing him to know everything in the world.
As for Ignia, the Flame God Dragon, who is a close friend of the Earth God Dragon, the reason why he hasn't attacked Elevseria in the past 100 years is probably more because his friend is actually still alive, and also because they are "heart to heart".
Once Erefseria dies, the heart that the Earth God Dragon obtained at great cost will instantly collapse. This is the truth behind why Erefseria has remained unharmed until now.
Dracula Mag shouted to Igunia, "If there's nothing else, you can go now. I've been sleeping for 100 years and I want to stretch my body. Besides, these humans look delicious."
Ignia did not refute, explaining that he had only awakened the Earth Dragon to prevent the Dragon's heart from being stolen. "It doesn't matter, but you can't kill that human."
As he looked at his good friend, Dracula Mag saw Natsu and suddenly realized, "He's the human Ignir adopted. It seems you have your own reasons. Can I teach him a lesson?"
"As long as you don't kill me, it's up to you."
"Got it, bro."
Ignia said no more, transformed into a giant fire dragon, broke through the earth dragon's indestructible labyrinth, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Natsu wanted to give chase, but the gap in the maze had already closed.
Dracula Mag looked down at the crowd and said, "For the past 100 years, I have been gathering intelligence using the heart of Erevseria."
As they spoke, the enormous earth dragon vanished, and a burly man with dreadlocks appeared before them. He had a hideous cross-shaped scar on his chest, the very wound left by Elevseria years ago.
Dracula Magma, now in human form, looked at the crowd provocatively. "Fairy Tail mages? I wonder if you're any more delicious than the humans I've eaten before."
"You... bastard!"
Enraged, Natsu gathered flames and unleashed a powerful punch at Dracula Magma.
However, Dracula Magma easily blocked Natsu's attack with one hand, and then gathered a large amount of rocks and soil to form a huge rock fist, which he slammed down heavily on Natsu.
With just one punch, Natsu was completely defenseless.
Laxus, Erza, and Mirajane worked together to block the terrifying rock fist, but even with their combined strength, they couldn't destroy it.
Seeing this, Dracula Magma's mockery deepened. "I forgot to mention, I am the creator of this labyrinth, and also the labyrinth itself, which cannot be destroyed."
Do you think you can harm me?
Chapter 327 Disparity
Dracula Mag's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts.
The labyrinth itself is indestructible—meaning they will not only face a dragon that has lived for hundreds of years, but also the entire underground space.
Stop trying to fool me!
Natsu scrambled to his feet from the rubble, wiping the blood from his mouth. Flames reignited on his fist. "Nothing in this world is indestructible! If you can't destroy it, destroy it with even greater power!"
"That's right!"
Gray instantly completed the Ice Annihilation pose, and dozens of ice spears condensed in the air. The ice spears poured down like a torrential rain, but shattered into ice shards the moment they touched Dracula Magma's body.
Dracula Magma didn't move an inch, only watching the ants struggle with disdain. "'Shaping' and 'Exterminating Evil,' huh? Too bad I'm not one of those weak demons."
Dracula Mag casually waved his hand, and dozens of stone pillars suddenly rose up from the ground and the labyrinth ceiling.
Gray had nowhere to run, but luckily there was always a woman watching him with unwavering devotion behind him. Juvia's summoned waterspout narrowly pulled Gray out of the encirclement of the stone pillars.
The blue-eyed white dragon and the red-eyed black dragon, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed their magical breaths, one white and one black, upon Dracula Mag.
"Interesting, I almost thought it was a real dragon."
Dracula Mag looked up at the two card monsters, ignored their attacks, and raised his hand towards Kana in the distance. A huge mud hand suddenly emerged from the ground beneath Kana's feet, its five fingers closing together, ready to crush her.
Fortunately, Mirajane instantly entered her demonic dual-soul form, unfurling her jet-black wings and leaping into the sky with the drunken girl in her arms, narrowly dodging the grasp.
