My two-dimensional resident

"Haha, after hundreds of years, I finally feel pain. Lin Tian, ​​you are very strong, and your magical artifacts are also very strong. I studied them for a long time, but I still couldn't open those cages and release my subordinates."

Jelf stood up, dusted himself off, and then looked at Lin Tian with a rare smile.

After more than four hundred years, he finally encountered someone who, apart from the black dragon Acnologia, could potentially harm him.

However... Lin Tian's power was still somewhat weak; although he could only scratch him, he couldn't kill him. Nevertheless, Zeref saw hope in Lin Tian.

He saw a hope that could lead him to death. Ever since he was afflicted by Ankhseram's "curse of contradictions," the more he respected life, the more he released death energy into his surroundings; conversely, if he did not respect all life, he would not release death energy.

This made him the most powerful dark mage in the world, and also made him immortal. He had grown weary of four hundred years of solitude and longed for death to come upon him.

“Zeref, I know of a world where you can truly die. If you want to die, I can send you there. But you must help me find the black dragon Acnologia. I need to confirm whether my lover, sister, and best friend have been captured by him.”

Seeing Zeref's maniacal laughter, Lin Tian's Observation Haki clearly sensed the deathly intent emanating from him. Although Lin Tian didn't understand why Zeref would suddenly have thoughts of death.

But for Kikyo and the others, Lin Tian was willing to grant Zeref any request as long as he could help him.

"I did underestimate you. But you're still too weak. Once you get stronger, you might actually be able to kill me. Now leave here and go find your companions."

Jelf shook his head, choosing to ignore Lin Tian's suggestion. In his more than four hundred years of life, he had met many people, and Lin Tian was simply a special case among them.

The reason he's being released now is simply because of a potential connection he holds. Zeref eagerly anticipates meeting Lin Tian again centuries later, hoping he'll possess enough power to kill him.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I can release all your subordinates now and heal their injuries. I can also help you obtain the fairy heart. If you want to bring Mavis back to life, I can help you do that too. If you want to die, I can take you to a world where you can die."

Lin Tian glared angrily at Jelf, not understanding why the person in front of him was so difficult to communicate with.

Was it all because I was too weak? If I were strong enough to defeat Zeref, he would surely submit to me and help me find the Black Dragon Acnologia...

"Leave here quickly, you are a special being. I don't want you to die now."

As he spoke, Jelf turned his gaze to the horizon, his eyes flashing with a different look than before; this time he was exceptionally serious.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian understood that there was something more to Jelf's words, and he followed Jelf's gaze in the same direction.

"Huh? Roll your eyes!"

Under the influence of Observation Haki, Lin Tian sensed a powerful aura of destruction rushing towards them, so he quickly activated his Byakugan to check on the other party.

Within the gray world of the White Eyes, Lin Tian saw a gigantic evil dragon exuding an aura of destruction capable of withering the world, flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.

"It's the Black Dragon Acnologia!"

Lin Tian was overjoyed; he hadn't expected the Black Dragon Acnologia to come to him on its own initiative. But recalling the battle just now, Zeref had released a large amount of death aura, which was exactly the aura the Black Dragon was looking for. So this was understandable.

With this in mind, Lin Tian created a fire clone and sent it to the wooden prison of the Holy Shield to release all his defeated enemies.

At the same time, give a healing pill and an apple to the unconscious Eileen, August, and several other injured Guardians of the Holy Shield.

A new enemy has arrived, and his companions have been teleported away from this place. Therefore, in order to subdue the black dragon Acnologia, he has no choice but to utilize the power of Zeref's side.

When Jelf saw Lin Tian release his men, he nodded and then spoke.

"If your companions really did encounter the Black Dragon, then they are already dead. Get out of here now, I'm not confident I can save your life from the Black Dragon's attack."

If we simply compare the destructive power between Zeref and Acnologia, Acnologia has a slight edge. However, considering their overall strength, Zeref is a mage who knows all magic, and Acnologia cannot harm Zeref.

Having just discovered a seedling that could potentially kill him, Zeref didn't want him to die at the hands of the black dragon Acnologia. Therefore, he wanted Lin Tian to leave this place before the black dragon descended.

Chapter 313 The Appearance of the Mastermind

"No, I must get the truth from him. If they were really killed by the Black Dragon, then I will spend the rest of my life killing the Black Dragon."

After the Eight Gates technique was dispelled, Lin Tian endured the excruciating pain throughout his body, took out a healing pill, swallowed it, and said to Zeref.

Having finally had the chance to meet the black dragon Acnologia, how could Lin Tian possibly pass up the opportunity to ask if it had seen Kikyo and the other two?

As the black dragon's aura drew ever closer, Lin Tian began to quickly adjust his state. He had already suffered two serious injuries in today's battle, and the Saiyan bloodline power was causing his attribute values ​​to rise rapidly.

Although no single attribute value exceeded 500, all attribute values ​​were over 400, with the most basic health, stamina, agility, and strength all reaching 496.

With the power of his Saiyan bloodline, along with the apple and healing pills, Lin Tian was no longer afraid of being injured by the Black Dragon. He believed that after a few more experiences of escaping death, he would become even stronger.

"My king, this man..."

When the clone returned to Lin Tian with a few leaves, a few seconds later, the fully healed Guardians of the Holy Six appeared before Zeref.

As Jelf's son, Augustus's face flashed with anger when he saw Lin Tian, ​​but he could only suppress his anger because Jelf was present.

When Jelf saw his subordinates arrive at his side unharmed, and even sensed that they seemed to have become stronger, though not obviously, he still looked at Lin Tian with great curiosity.

“Zeref, if you can help me find out from the black dragon Acnologia whether he met three girls on a small island in the southeastern sea of ​​Ishgar a month ago, I can give you some magical apples.”

When Lin Tian saw that Jelf was looking at him, he realized that Jelf had discovered the secret of the apple, so he spoke up.

With his current strength, the black dragon Acnologia wouldn't even bother to communicate with him.

To confirm whether the black dragon was the culprit behind Kikyo's and the others' disappearance, he had no choice but to seek help from Zeref again.

"Once you have the apple, you won't need any fairy heart. Zeref, help me out. You'll gain a world of friendship you've never known before."

Lin Tian took out an apple and tossed it to Jelf. Jelf caught the apple and noticed that it hadn't withered or rotted despite the deathly aura emanating from him. A strange look flashed across his face.

He used his mental power to sense the energy inside the apple and discovered that in addition to its immense magical power, the apple was also filled with other different energies.

This energy was the same as the power Lin Tian had used before, which made Zeref sigh inwardly. Perhaps helping Lin Tian would allow him to see a completely new world.

"Alright... Be careful, all of you. Acnologia's power is too great; you are not yet able to contend with it."

The apple's magic convinced Jelf to agree to Lin Tian's request. He turned to look at his members of the Holy Shield Six, then spoke in a deep voice.

Several members of the Guardian Shield, who had never witnessed the terrifying power of the Black Dragon Acnologia, wanted to say something, but were stopped by Irene raising her stag antler wand.

As the only one who had personally witnessed the Black Dragon's terror, she knew very well that with the current strength of the Shield of the Holy Guard, it was completely unable to withstand the Black Dragon's attacks.

boom!

A massive black dragon descended before Lin Tian and the others, then transformed into a young man with dark blue hair and brown skin. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he arrogantly surveyed Lin Tian and the others before finally fixing his gaze on Zeref.

"Haha, Zeref. So you've been alive all along. Haha~ But today is the day you die."

As it spoke, the black dragon opened its massive maw, unleashing a terrifying black energy that surged towards Zeref. Seeing this, Zeref raised his arms high, using black flames to deflect the dragon's roar.

The two enormous energies collided, causing a terrifying explosion. The earth-shattering shockwave obliterated everything around them, leaving only two symmetrical radial craters extending hundreds of meters to either side of the impact center.

“Acnologia, it’s been hundreds of years, and you’re still as crazy as ever. There’s something I need to answer for you: a month ago, did you encounter these three people in the southeastern sea of ​​the continent of Ishgar?”

As the dust from the explosion settled, Zeref, with his exceptional memory, recreated the magical portraits of Artoria, Kikyo, and the others that had previously appeared before him in front of Acnologia.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know. I never remember the weak I've killed." Acnologia laughed loudly, revealing a ferocious and manic expression as he looked at Zeref, his eyes filled with arrogance and indifference.

"What?! Damn it!"

Upon hearing Acnologia's words, Lin Tian assumed that Kikyo and the other two had been killed by him. He roared instantly, his body erupting with blue flames as he charged towards Acnologia.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

Lin Tian was already in tears, his mind filled with intertwined memories of Kikyo, Erza, and Illya. He recalled lying on Kikyo's lap, the two of them quietly watching Erza and Illya playing and frolicking on the beach in the distance.

Lin Tian's heart was consumed by boundless rage; he couldn't accept that Kikyo and the other two had died like this. A fire of vengeance from hell erupted from his entire body.

When love, family, and friendship cruelly vanished, Lin Tian's world began to fade. In this gray world of black and white, only the black dragon Acnologia stood out.

Lin Tian, ​​now consumed by the flames of revenge, has only one goal: to avenge Kikyo and the others, and to tear the black dragon before him to pieces.

"Where did these ants come from? The Black Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Seeing someone suddenly rushing towards him, Acnologia revealed a contemptuous expression, then swung his hand and collided with Lin Tian's fist.

boom!

Unlike Zeref, the Black Dragon Acnologia possessed extremely formidable physical attributes. Lin Tian's punches, which even Zeref couldn't injure, couldn't cause Acnologia the slightest damage.

Instead, after Lin Tian's fist collided with the black dragon's iron fist, he heard the crisp sound of his arm bones breaking.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body was also sent flying backward a hundred meters by the powerful force of the black dragon Acnologia, finally crashing onto the hillside and creating a huge crater.

Lin Tian lay in the deep pit, his eyes lifeless and devoid of any light. Every bone in his body had been shattered by the black dragon's attack, and blood gushed from his mouth again, mixing with the mud on his body, making him appear utterly wretched, weak, and helpless.

"No! I can't die yet! I must avenge Kikyo! Avenge Erza! Avenge Illya!"

In his dazed state, the effects of the Eight Gates Formation were forcibly deactivated, and the pain sensations received by ten thousand nerve receptors throughout his body converged in his mind.

Lin Tian struggled to take out a healing pill from his spatial backpack and tried to put it in his mouth, but when he raised his trembling arm to put the pill in his mouth, his body went limp and the pill fell onto the soil next to his head.

"I hate it!"

Lin Tian roared silently, enduring the excruciating pain and twisting his neck with astonishing willpower, trying to swallow the mud-covered healing pill.

During his struggle, a fire of anger began to silently seep into his very bones. A power buried deep within his bloodline began to awaken...

"Zeref, now no one will interfere with us anymore. Prepare for your death. I've been waiting for this moment for centuries. Hahaha~"

Acnologia, the black dragon, ignored Lin Tian's fate and turned his gaze back to Zeref. Laughing, he transformed his hands into claws and charged towards Zeref.

But at that moment, an astonishing pressure erupted from the distant hillside, its terrifying force sweeping across the entire land, causing a sudden change in the weather. This forced the black dragon Acnologia to stop and turn its gaze towards the deep pit.

"Acnologia, I'm going to kill you!"

Under everyone's gaze, a blond man with golden aura emanating from his entire body appeared before the black dragon Acnologia.

"Hmm? Has he been hiding his true strength all along?"

Although the blond man had his back to them, Eileen could still recognize him as Lin Tian. Seeing that Lin Tian's aura was far greater than when he had fought her before, Eileen couldn't help but sigh.

The other Guardians of the Holy Shield, whom Lin Tian had defeated, looked at him with grave expressions. They couldn't believe that Lin Tian possessed such immense strength.

The Fairy Tree Romance

"interesting..."

Seeing Lin Tian's suddenly unfathomable strength, a strange light flashed in Zeref's dark eyes. He knew very well that Lin Tian had never possessed such strength before, and his sudden increase in power must be due to some kind of change in his body.

"Haha, the ant has become stronger, but it's still just an ant!"

The black dragon Acnologia looked at Lin Tian, ​​whose black hair had turned into golden hair. Even though he sensed that Lin Tian's aura was stronger than before, he still showed a disdainful expression.

At this moment, Lin Tian, ​​who had successfully transformed into a Super Saiyan by breaking through the Saiyan bloodline limitations due to his anger towards Acnologia, looked expressionlessly at the enemy who had killed his lover, sister, and best friend.

He raised his arm, and a golden flame shot out from his palm, hurtling towards the black dragon Acnologia at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the golden flames rushed towards the black dragon. Sensing the danger, the black dragon tried to defend itself, but the moment it raised its arm, it realized that something seemed to be missing from its body.

"Aaaaaah, my arm! You ruined my arm. Unforgivable!"

The black dragon Acnologia stared in disbelief at its missing right arm, then roared angrily at Lin Tian.
