A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Kira and Acnologia stared at each other for a few moments, a strange unease growing stronger in their hearts.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black dragon roared again, its terrifying aura sweeping over everyone.

Although the aura was terrifying, it was nothing to Kira. What bothered him the most was the roar that made him dizzy.

Looking at the gigantic maw less than ten meters away, Kira couldn't help but retort, "You must not brush your teeth morning and night!"

Perhaps it was this remark that angered Acnologia, or perhaps he simply didn't want to talk to Kira. Blackwing soared into the sky and then swooped down towards Kira.

"Ha! The same old tricks again!" Kira muttered, his magic now in hand, sounding the battle horn, "Amaterasu Thousand Style!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white magic circle appeared out of thin air. In front of the magic circle, sixteen white spells, each several meters long, formed a net, blocking Acnologia's only way out, like a trap waiting for its prey to fall into it.

This magic, completed in an instant, contained unimaginable magical power, far exceeding that of a single "Dragon Slayer Technique." However, it was ultimately not a Dragon Slayer Magic, so the black dragon paid no attention to it and descended with a whirlwind!

A deafening explosion occurred, the timing was absolutely perfect!

The moment Acnologia reached the center of the magic circle's attack, Kira detonated the power of Amaterasu Senshiki, and fire, wind, and heat instantly engulfed the shadow within.

Acnologia was about to use her wings to break through the explosion when the blast suddenly surged in one direction, leaving her momentarily stunned.

With Happy's help, Natsu quietly approached it and was absorbing all the flames into its body.

Having absorbed all the energy from the explosion, Natsu's inner strength surged. With a powerful shout, he imbued his fist with flames and unleashed a Dragon Slayer magic: "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"

The all-out attack made Acnologia stagger, but it wasn't enough!

"Thunder Dragon Halberd!"

"Iron Dragon Staff!"

"Tianlong's Wing Strike!"

Three more Dragon Slayer spells! Three more attacks delivered with all their might! Laxus, Gajeel, and Wendy's attacks all landed where Natsu had just struck, and under the continuous onslaught, the black dragon was finally pushed back slightly!

Before it could react, a huge fist slammed down on its head!

At some point, Makarov had grown into a giant as tall as Acnologia, and his will to protect his family fueled his determination in that hook punch.

The giant's fist was still very heavy, far more effective than the magic of the four Dragon Slayer Mages. It immediately caused the black dragon to lose its balance, its body retreating violently again, its feet carving two huge trenches in the ground.

"That's it! Disrupt its balance!" Kira shouted. Although he didn't have Mavis's leadership skills, he had plenty of experience in teaming up to fight monsters!

Before Acnologia could even get a foothold, three different spells struck in quick succession.

"Dispelling Evil and Revealing Justice - One Day!"

"Heavenly Wheel - The Blazing Sword!"

"Soul Exterminator!"

Gildarts, Erza, and Mira, the three strongest S-class mages, struck first, unleashing their most powerful magic on the black dragon's feet! The others followed suit, each displaying their unique abilities and unleashing a dazzling barrage of magic!

Fists, brute force, magic, weapons... and thousands of crystal balls!

Because she was caught off guard, Ultear naturally joined the battle. Compared to those magical attacks that only produced smoke and no real damage, using Arc of Time to affect the ground was clearly more efficient at disrupting the balance.

Sure enough, after Ultear made her move, the ground collapsed instantly. Acnologia lost her footing and fell backward, seeing the seven stars shining with golden light in the sky.

Gerald struck a pretentious "two up, five down" hand gesture, his eyes gleaming with coldness, and uttered a casual, "Receive the Seven Stars' punishment, Seven Star Sword!!!"

Seeing this, Kana and Lucy's hearts skipped a beat, recalling the nightmare of being utterly destroyed by the "Seven Star Sword" card during the first stage of the assessment.

"Don't hesitate! Attack with all your might!!"

The two were awakened by Kira's shout, and after regaining their senses, they joined the battle. They then quickly recalled the fear of being dominated by the black dragon that night in Zonya.

Unsurprisingly, the Seven Star Sword had no effect. Even Gerald's incredibly cool pose didn't add anything, and the other people's magic was even worse; it all just produced smoke and no damage when it hit the black dragon.

Acnologia regained its footing, and with a sudden sweep of its thick, black dragon tail, it stirred up endless dust, rocks, and trees, striking the densest area.

"Ah ah ah..."

Unable to withstand the powerful blow, the group was sent flying more than ten meters, their bodies arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The dragon retracted its tail, lowered its head and roared at the crowd again, raising its claws high and slamming them down. The ground cracked and collapsed in response, spreading rapidly outwards and causing half of Tianlang Island to tremble and shake.

The chilling dragon scales gleamed menacingly under the night sky, like the scythe of death ready to reap the lives of fairies. The black dragon's oppressive aura rolled in like a tsunami, and everyone was once again enveloped in endless malice.

Philid broke out in a cold sweat: "What a terrifying attack... Is this a dragon? It's unbelievably powerful! You guys were incredibly lucky to escape from it!"

Gray forced himself to stay upright: "Yeah... I barely survived back then, so I can't die here now!"

Just as everyone was about to pounce again, Kira called out once more, "Ordinary magic won't work on it! Everyone, use physical attacks!!"

Physical attacks? What kind of physical attacks would be effective against such an opponent?

Before they could react, Makarov rushed forward, using his battered hands to forcefully press down on the restless head of the black dragon, and the two immediately entered a wrestling match.

"Push harder, Guild Master!" Kira shouted, gesturing rapidly as several spells appeared simultaneously: "Iron Prison! Iron Chain Binding! Thorn Entanglement!"

As Kira cast his magic, eight stone pillars rose up, trapping Acnologia within them; countless chains and thorns extended from the rock pillars, intertwining and combining to form a thick, long rope that was both hard and tough, wrapping around Acnologia's body again and again while he and Makarov were locked in a struggle.

Everyone watched in awe: "What...what magnificent magic..."

Admittedly, ordinary magic is ineffective against Acnologia, but this physical control still has some effect, most obviously by making its movements noticeably slower.

Seemingly sensing the ropes binding him, Acnologia roared in anger, exerted a slight force, and slammed forward, dragging the ropes with it. The ropes, made of gold and wood, were no match for the dragon's brute strength, snapping several times with cracking sounds. The immense force from its head sent Makarov staggering back several steps. The black dragon, seizing the advantage, was about to pounce and unleash a series of attacks.

Seeing that Acnologia was about to break free of his restraints, Kira shouted, "Ultear, help me!"

"I know!"

As the sound rang out, invisible magic was already working on the ropes. The time belonging to the magic began to reverse, and the ropes made of chains and thorns quickly returned to their original state, becoming more numerous and denser, binding Acnologia's body once again—ropes summoned by Ultear from multiple futures.

"Well done!" Kira shouted excitedly, clenching his fist. "The four above, give them a good beating!"

Natsu and the others were stunned at first, but after they reacted, they immediately took action, unleashing four roars of wind, fire, lightning, and iron at the same time, all attacking the black dragon.

With the help of wind and fire, and the aid of lightning and iron, the four elements combined to form an even stronger magic, which struck Acnologia's head hard. The black dragon bowed its head in response, and its enormous head crashed to the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Bang! ! !

"Yay!!" Seeing the attack succeed, the crowd's morale soared. "Even Acnologia is helpless against a Dragon Slayer Mage!"

"Truly worthy of being called Laxus!"

"Idiot! This isn't over yet! That level of attack is nothing to that guy!"

"Huh?! No way?!"

The next moment, the smoke cleared, and the black dragon was indeed unharmed despite the smoke!

Chapter 357 Dragon Slayer and Dragons

Acnologia's rage intensified, and she roared to the sky again: "@#￥％!!!"

"The first round can be considered a success!" Kira's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Acnologia's body. "Next, I guess we'll start the aerial battle, right?"

As expected, after the roar, the black dragon unleashed its power and spread its wings, instantly creating a thunderous roar that resounded through the sky, its oppressive aura sweeping across half of Tianlang Island.

Leaving aside the surging, violent magical power, the extraordinary strength alone was something that humans could not easily resist. With a single, light pounce, the black dragon knocked everyone off balance, causing them to fall or stumble.

No matter how many ropes Kira and Ultear summoned, they could no longer hinder Acnologia's movements in the slightest.

"Cough cough... How can there be such outrageous power?!"

"How is it even possible to defeat this monster?"

Perhaps it was the pain that Acnologia had suffered from their previous cooperation, or perhaps this frustration reminded it of the ants that had escaped from its grasp before. At this moment, it stopped roaring and stared coldly at the commander on the field—Kira.

Kira's heart skipped a beat, and his hair stood on end: "Hey... what are you talking about? Don't stare at me! They're the ones who hit you, aren't they?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the four Dragon Slayer Mages in the sky.

Four people and three cats: ? ? !!

But diverting the trouble didn't work. Acnologia seemed to know who the real problem was, and charged straight at Kira. Its movements were incredibly swift; its massive body was like the world's hardest and most destructive cannonball!

“I @#￥％…”

Before Kira could even utter a curse, a dark shadow filled his entire field of vision. He could only suppress his urge to curse the dragon and instead cast a spell, "Defense!!!"

Golden magic surged wildly, instantly forming a magical barrier—a meter-thick magic shield that blocked Kira's path. However, under immense force, it shattered in less than three seconds.

Fortunately, those three seconds were enough for Kira to escape.

In the first second, magic wings materialized, and in the second second, the dragon soared into the sky. In the third second, the black dragon broke through the magic wall, and a dragon's palm swept across the spot where Kira had been standing. The resulting hurricane shattered trees and rocks, carving a trench several meters thick and tens of meters long into the ground!

Kira patted his heart, still shaken. "Tsk tsk tsk... How terrifying! Eight feet... no! It was a hail of bullets!"

Countless guns and cannons appeared out of thin air behind him, bombarding him with a cacophony of fire and flashes of light, as bullets rained down on him, striking Acnologia with clanging sounds.

This attack was destined to be futile; Kira's goal was not to cause damage, but simply to draw fire!

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as Acnologia was about to soar into the sky and shift the battle to the air, four enormous forces slammed down on its back again, hindering its progress.

The attackers are still the Dragon Slayers! Kira's series of actions were all designed to create opportunities for them to attack!

"You four, at least put in some effort! Haven't you eaten?... Never mind, it seems you really haven't eaten... Levy! Get them some food!"

"Eh... Oh! Oh!" Levy was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and with a flick of her magic pen, she poured all her remaining magic power into three spells: "Cubist! Fire! Iron! Thunder!"

Fire, Iron, and Lightning flew towards Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus respectively; as for Wendy, Levy really didn't know what to write for her. Air? There was air everywhere, so she wasn't needed. It was better to save some magic for the other three.

Lightning was fast and accurate. Laxus could absorb it simply by standing still. Natsu and Gajeel, however, were different. Because fire and iron move slowly, the two flew straight to meet it as if they had smelled the smear of smear, and then began to feast on it.

Natsu inhaled deeply, swallowing all the flames; meanwhile, Gajeel was still gnawing on the iron block, mumbling between bites, "It's not about whether I've eaten or not! This guy's body is... a very special kind... so hard!"

Kira rolled his eyes: "Then why don't you just not eat... Seriously, you're eating way too slowly!"

Gajeel was indignant this time, yelling with iron slag in his mouth, "Shut up! Don't disturb me while I'm recovering my strength!"

Just then, the ground beneath the black dragon's feet suddenly churned and exploded outwards, followed by a deafening roar and a howling wind, as the massive black shadow shot straight into the sky! Its speed was already extremely fast, and the force it gained from the ground added even more power!

Acnologia wouldn't give the four young dragons time to recover. Upon noticing their movements, it immediately changed its target. And its first target was none other than Laxus, the strongest of the four and the first to replenish his mana!

The Thors on the ground cried out in alarm, "Laxus! Watch out!"

Laxus immediately noticed the black dragon's shifting gaze. With his quick reflexes, he was able to dodge it, but this would expose Wendy behind him to the attack, leaving him no choice but to grit his teeth and take the hit.

"Oh oh oh ah ah ah ah!!!"
