"Apologize my foot! He did it on purpose!"
Chapter 329 Cutting Off the Fire at the Bottom of the Blade
Hope's appearance was not good news for Dracula Mag. The other party was able to sit on the edge of the battlefield and watch the show with three cats, while Dracula Mag was completely unaware of it.
This is enough to demonstrate the power of this human being.
The opponent's strength is probably far greater than I am in my current state.
Having gained a clear understanding, Dracula Magma immediately decided to get serious, and in fact, he only used less than half of his power in the battle against Natsu and the others.
The earth dragon roared as its massive body enveloped the entire labyrinth with earth-yellow magic. However, the next second, a look of horror appeared in Dracula Mag's eyes.
His "thing" is gone!
Not one left!
Hope jumped down from the rock, casually placing the nearly irritated Charlotte into Wendy's arms, and said to Dracula Mag in a flippant tone, "Are you looking for these gems?"
Blue light condensed in his palm, and twenty black gems emerged from his transformation magic circle, neatly arranged in mid-air, emitting a dark glow.
Dracula Magma's breath caught in his throat. "This... how is this possible?! The black gems I hid throughout the labyrinth!"
"It was poorly hidden. I only used magic to scan the maze and it was all exposed."
Hope smiled and said, "You're really unqualified as the creator of this maze. You should at least have put some treasure chests to store the gems. That would have created a better atmosphere, wouldn't you know?"
Everyone was dumbfounded; this guy had started rambling on and on again.
Erza cleared her throat. "Hope, what's going on? Stop playing the riddle-maker."
Hope slowly walked up to the group. "It's simple, really. Why do you think Dracula Magma can become 'the labyrinth itself'?"
Natsu raised his hand like a schoolchild, "I know, because the maze was created around him!"
Hope nodded. "That's right. When creating this great labyrinth, Dracula Maghre sealed his power in gems and scattered them throughout the labyrinth. These gems maintain the labyrinth's operation and allow it to expand continuously."
There are a total of 72 such gems.
Hope pointed at Dracula Mag, "The big guy you see is just a physical body formed by absorbing thirty of the black gems."
"The remaining gems will continuously provide him with magic power. Once they are all destroyed, this so-called earth dragon will only have less than half of its power left."
"By the way, I accidentally crushed 10 black gems just now, so I only have 20 left... Please don't mind, Dracula Mag."
Hope's nonchalant tone caused Dracula Mag's pupils to shrink sharply. The weakening of power he had just felt was actually due to this human's trickery.
The biggest weakness was just casually pointed out like that.
A strong sense of crisis immediately welled up in Dracula Maghre's heart.
Listening to Hope's explanation, Lucy subconsciously touched her pocket and then took out a gem that emitted a faint earthy yellow light.
Erza quickly took out the one she had collected.
For a moment, everyone checked their finds from the maze.
Natsu pulled one out of his pocket. Juvia pulled two out of Gray's boxer shorts. (God knows how so many things can be hidden there.)
Gajeel and Levy contributed three gems, Wendy and Laxus combined to cut two gems, and Cana somehow found one.
“One, two, three…” Mirajane counted, “Including the one in Happy’s hand, we have a total of twelve Earth Dragon Gems!”
Then everyone looked at the huge handful that Hope had taken out.
Apart from the 30 gems that had already been absorbed by Dracula Mag and the 10 that had been destroyed by Hope, the remaining 32 gems all fell into their hands.
Doesn't this mean...?
Dracula Mag's expression changed completely.
The seventy-two black gems were the core of his power, which he divided to stabilize the great labyrinth and allow it to expand continuously.
Each one contains a portion of his power, but now most of them have been obtained by humans. Doesn't that mean he's doomed?
Dracula Magma could no longer contain himself, and his massive dragon form lunged at the group. He still had a small amount of power left; if he could kill them all before they destroyed the gems, everything would be alright.
Faced with the earth dragon's massive iron hooves trampling down, Hope simply extended a finger.
Dracula Mag felt an immense force, one that even he, a dragon, could not shake, rising from below and forcefully holding his raised forelimbs in mid-air.
When did humanity acquire such terrifying power?!
In the instant that Dracula Mag was stunned, Hope moved.
A massive magic circle unfolded on the shattered ground. By the time Dracula Mag came to his senses, he was completely enveloped by the magic circle. Before he could even move, he suddenly felt something inside his body trying to burst out.
Hope smiled slightly, "Dracula Mag, say goodbye to your power, 'Separation Attachment - Magic Separation'!"
With a painful howl, 20 black gems were forcibly ripped from the earth dragon's massive body. The pain of the separated magic caused the earth dragon to writhe on the ground.
Fortunately, Hope was a kind man and left 10 for Dracula Mag, so that his body would not disintegrate.
"Give me back the jewels... you thieves!"
"Look at you, always in such a hurry."
Hope waved his hand, then raised a black gemstone, and under Dracula Mag's horrified gaze, he closed his fingers together.
click-
The crisp cracking sound was particularly jarring in the silent space.
Dracula Mag's body trembled violently, and the earthy yellow light emanating from him dimmed almost imperceptibly.
“The first one.” Hope smiled innocently.
"you--!"
Click, another crisp sound rang out.
"The second one."
"stop!"
Crushing another gem, Hope looked at Dracula Magma and asked knowingly, "Oh, what did you just say?"
Dracula Magg angrily charged again, his earth magic coalescing into countless spikes that pierced Hope from all directions.
However, those spikes that were strong enough to pierce steel could not advance any further than three feet from Hope, as if there was an invisible domain that would crush anyone who got too close into dust.
"Your opponent is not me, but my comrade."
Hope winked at Erza and the others, "Everyone, I won't be participating in the battle from now on. I'll leave the task of defeating the Earth God Dragon to you. I'll just cheer you on from the sidelines."
After saying that, another gem was crushed; this was Hope's way of cheering.
Seeing Dracula Magma's power weakened once again, Hope couldn't help but smile. "Dracula Magma, time is running out~"
Chapter 330 The Twilight of the Earth Dragon
Every time Hope crushed a gem, Dracula Mag's body would tremble violently, and a yellowish-brown light would overflow from the cracks, flowing like blood onto the shattered ground.
"Stop! Stop! You stop right now!"
Dracula Maghro roared, his voice filled with fear.
He desperately tried to channel his magic, hoping to gather more power, but found that the magic within his body was draining away at an alarming rate. Each of the crushed gems represented a portion of the power he had accumulated over hundreds of years.
“This is the fifth one.” Hope counted casually, picked up another gem and played with it between her fingers, then turned to look at the stunned crowd. “Aren’t you going to make your move? If you don’t, this big guy is going to be ruined by me.”
"Wow! I'm fired up!"
Natsu could no longer contain himself. Flames instantly engulfed his entire body. He slammed his foot into the ground and charged towards Duggmalaga like a cannonball, his burning fist aimed straight for the giant dragon's head.
"Fire Dragon - Blazing Flame!"
A massive vortex of flames exploded on Dracula Mag's face, the intense heat causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.
When the flames subsided, everyone could clearly see the effect: charred marks appeared on Dracula Mag's cheeks, and his muddy skin cracked.
"Works!" Gray's eyes lit up, and he instantly completed the Ice Form, "Evil Slayer Form: Ice Demon's Clash!"
Dozens of enormous ice spears materialized and pierced Dracula Mag's side. Amidst the flying ice shards, the earth dragon staggered from the impact.
"You despicable humans! You think you can do this..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, Gajeel's Iron Dragon Cudgel slammed into his back, followed by Laxus's Thunder Dragon Fist, Erza's Twin Blades, Mirajane's Dark Pulse...
Dracula Magh's massive body retreated continuously under the relentless attacks, his wounds multiplying, the yellowish-brown sand flowing like blood, a stark and glaring sight.
"No way...no way!"
Dracula Mag looked at his battered body in disbelief. He was a dragon! How could he be driven to this point by a mere group of human mages?
"Because your power is no longer complete."
Hope's languid voice came from the side as he crushed another gem, this time not even bothering to count it. "I don't know what you were thinking, you idiot, sealing your power in an external object."
He paused, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Actually, the power can be separated if it is, but if the container holding the power is destroyed, that part of the power will also disappear."
"You deliberately create weaknesses for yourself; your wisdom is truly astonishing, even surpassing Natsu's."
As the black gems were destroyed one by one by Hope, Dracula Magnum's power plummeted like a green stock market crash.
Previously, only the combined magic of Laxus and Gajeel had barely broken through his defenses, but not long after, the situation reversed.
Dracula Magna's once-proud extreme hardness was no longer as impenetrable as the force dissipated.
Faced with the Fairy Tail mages whose teamwork was perfectly synchronized and whose momentum was overwhelming, the Earth Dragon's supposedly invincible defense began to crumble.
It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating.
Even when Dracula Mag was killed one-on-one by Erefseria, he didn't feel anything, because Erefseria was no weaker than him.
But now, because of his weakened power, he was being brutally beaten by a group of humans whose strength was far inferior to his own. Where could he put his pride as a dragon?
"Roar--!"
Dracula Magma roared, and the entire labyrinth began to crumble.
His magic power, reduced to only 30%, surged wildly from his body, causing the ground to crack, walls to collapse, and countless rock fragments to be forcibly gathered around him, forming a rotating rock shield around his body.
"I am the Earth God Dragon! The one who rules the earth! You humans..."
