A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"To actually charge head-on, that's truly courageous!"

No one thought Natsu's behavior was reckless; on the contrary, they all admired his courage. After all, most mages couldn't even move under Acnologia's intimidation, let alone launch an attack.

The Fairy Tail mages sighed and facepalmed, muttering, "Seriously... Natsu is still so impulsive!"

"Don't stand there! Let's go cover Natsu right now!!"

In critical moments, you still have to rely on the good older sisters and good captains in the guild. When Erza saw a gust of wind passing by her, she knew that Natsu must have attacked. So she quickly changed her clothes and prepared to provide support.

Having learned from her experience two years ago, Erza already knew that ordinary attacks would cause negligible damage to Acnologia, and she already knew which armor and weapons to use.

"Transformation: Armor of the Wise Dragon!! Twin Swords of the Dragon Slayer!!"

Huh? What is that?

When Lucy and the others saw Erza wearing new armor and weapons, they were all stunned. After hearing the names of the armor and weapons, their minds went blank for a moment.

The Armor of the Wise Dragon? What kind of armor is this? It seems different from the armor Erza used before, which could enhance certain elemental defenses.

After each of the Fairy Tail mages mentally reviewed Erza's armor, they found that most of them were armors specifically designed for elemental mages, such as the Thunder Emperor Armor, Flame Emperor Armor, Poseidon Armor, and Wind God Armor, or armors that increased speed or defense. However, there seemed to be no armor or weapons related to dragons.

"The Armor of the Wise Dragon?? The Twin Swords of Dragon Slayers?? It sounds like it was specifically designed for dragons..."

"Was it specially commissioned after the battle of Sirius Island?"

Curious!! Extremely curious!!

The gazes of the crowd towards Erza shone brightly. What they were most curious about was the name of the armor: why was it called the 'Armor of the Wise Dragon'? They had never heard of the name 'Wise Dragon' before!

The second thing that everyone was curious about was the attack effect of the Dragon Slayer Twin Swords. As you can tell from the name, these are twin swords that can unleash dragon-slaying magic. This requires adding attributes to the weapons during the forging process. Craftsmen who can do this and have the necessary conditions are hard to find in the entire Kingdom of Fiore!

Of all the Dragon Slayer magic they knew, there was Laxus's lightning, Natsu's fire, Wendy's wind, Gajeel's iron, Eric's poison, and Stinger and Rogue's white and dark magic, who had just joined the guild a few months earlier.

Considering the time constraints, magical effects, and their close relationship, everyone agreed that the most likely attributes for these two swords were Natsu's fire and Wendy's wind.

Erza noticed the surprised looks on everyone's faces, but she just smiled faintly and then turned her attention to the battlefield ahead.

In fact, the 'Sage Dragon Armor' and the 'Dragon Slayer Twin Swords' are not the same set of equipment, nor were they even made by the same person.

After the Tenrou Island battle, Erza felt she had failed in her responsibility to protect everyone, so she went to Kira and asked him to forge her a pair of swords that could fight dragons.

Erza was generous, and Kira himself thought the weapon was necessary, so he agreed. He also enlisted Natsu and Wendy's help, extracting and adding some of the 'Dragon Power' from their bodies to the blades, thus creating the Dragon Slayer Twin Blades.

The 'Armor of the Wise Dragon' is different. This armor was given to Erza by Irene when she secretly visited her in Magnolia some time ago.

Erza took a deep breath and then charged forward with a burst of speed: "Dual Sword Style: Swift Wind and Fire!!"

With a soft shout, Erza slashed her twin swords with all her might, unleashing a flaming blade and several invisible wind blades. The wind and fire combined in mid-air, forming a powerful and unstoppable combination magic!

Sizzle, crackle...

Flames and wind blades, intertwined perfectly, looked like a smaller version of the 'Crimson Lotus Blade,' slashing fiercely at Acnologia and causing an explosion. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring vision, and Acnologia's furious roar echoed in the air.

Judging from its power alone, this move is extraordinary. It's different from the magical attacks Erza used in her battles against Jura and Kira a couple of days ago—if the slashes used in the tournament could cut down a tall building in one strike, then this slash could cut down a mountain in one strike!!

The two are not even in the same league!

"Wow, Erza is amazing!! Now she's really a dragon knight..."

"That's real dragon-slaying magic?! Someone actually managed to imbue weapons with it... If only everyone had a set! Then we wouldn't have to hide in the back; we could go up and deal damage instead!!"

"Um... I think hiding in the back... isn't so bad, is it?"

"Shut up! That's cowardly!"

"Then why don't you go up and fight!"

"Me? I don't know Dragon Slayer Magic..."

When the mages saw Erza unleash those two slashes, they quickly realized what had happened: "Was it imbued with Natsu and Wendy's magic? That looks pretty good!"

The crowd cheered and were thrilled that Erza had struck Acnologia. But as the dust settled, their smiles froze. They realized that the attack hadn't left a single mark on Acnologia. Its jet-black scales, with their azure patterns, remained perfectly hard and smooth as ever.

"How is this possible?!" The mages were shocked. Even a slash imbued with Dragon Slayer magic could only achieve this much. Just how strong was this dragon's defense?!

While the mages were still in a daze, Jura, one of their teammates standing at the front, stepped forward with great chivalry and shouted in his loud voice, "Don't stand there! Let's all attack!!"

Upon receiving the order to attack, and with a powerful figure like Jura leading the charge, all the mages present were instantly excited, as if they had been given stimulants. An outsider might have thought they were on an ancient battlefield, hearing the horns of soldiers sounding.

Erza's all-out slash did not have much effect; the damage it caused to Acnologia could be described as "scratching." However, it successfully angered Acnologia, the Dragon King, and diverted his attention.

Acnologia flew into a rage, slamming his two terrifying crimson eyes onto Erza, then roared to the sky and brought his dragon claws down with a mighty slam.

"roar!!!……"

The powerful sound waves were deafening once again. The mages could not bear it and covered their ears, but even so, their faces were contorted in pain.

At this moment, following Natsu and Erza's initial attack, the others followed suit, unleashing a barrage of magic like special effects, silencing her screams.

"Thunder Dragon Halberd!!"

"Illuminate the Sky!!"

"Karmic Demon - Iron God Sword!!"

"The Roar of the Poison Dragon!!"

Laxus, Wendy, Gajeel, and Eric each unleashed their ultimate attacks: lightning, hurricane, steel, and poison rain struck Acnologia from four different directions, creating a deafening roar!

"It's not over yet!!"

Stinger roared, and with Rogue close behind, the two released their remaining magic power and merged it together, forming a black and white magical energy: "White Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang!!"

From another direction, the second-generation Dragon Slayer Mages from the 'Heart of the Dragon' also unleashed their full power. Ice, germs, bones, star energy, and the same holy light and shadow as Stinger and Rogue, each combined into a powerful attack, blasting Acnologia like a giant cannon!

"Hoohoho!!!"

As the saying goes, "many ants can kill an elephant," even Acnologia, enduring so many Dragon Slayer spells at once, couldn't help but let out a long howl, but no one knew what it was shouting.

"Do you feel pain now?"

Amidst Acnologia's earth-shattering roar, a middle-aged man with pigtails stepped into the nearest battle zone, shouting, "Now comes the true GOD's Dragon Slayer Magic!!!"

This scene was witnessed by many mages, who were immediately astonished and expressed their doubts.

Chapter 778 Because I am the number one of the Ten Saints

"Hey, look over there! Who's that guy?"

"I don't know him. I've never seen him before. But since he dared to go up against Acnologia, he must be a mage from some guild, right?"

"His pigtails are hilarious! He's clearly a middle-aged man, why is he trying to tie his hair like a little girl? Doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"Look at his actions! My God! How childish! How cringeworthy! Does he think there's no one in this world he cares about?"

Serena overheard the voices of the extras and was instantly furious, muttering to himself, "Damn it!! I've only been away from Ishgar for a few years! Have you all forgotten about me already?!"

"Kira is one thing, but I really didn't expect that Jura from 'Boa Princess Scale' could become one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'! I remember there was Gildarts in 'Fairy Tail', right? Leaving Ishgar was definitely the right thing to do. The title of 'Ten Wizard Saints' is utter bullshit!"

Serena's voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly, so while they were curious about this strangely dressed man, they also felt a bit indignant.

"That guy actually belittled Jurasan like that?!" The first mage of 'Snake Princess Scale' was indignant, and they all rolled up their sleeves, ready to rush up and teach him a lesson.

To them, Jura was the pillar of the guild, a trustworthy and respected senior, and a mentor who guided their growth. Even though Jura only made it to the semifinals of the Grand Magic Games, it did not affect his status in everyone's hearts. Although he was not Fiore's number one mage, in the hearts of the 'Snake Scale' mages, Jura was the most powerful mage!

Now that Jura has been insulted by someone of unknown origin, how can they tolerate this?

"Stop it, all of you! This is not the time for infighting!" Jura shouted, reaching out to block the crowd behind him.

"But, Jurasan..."

Under the astonished gazes of Leon and the others, Jura simply shook her head solemnly: "Let others say what they want, just do your best! Besides... that person isn't an ordinary mage!"

"I can sense that his magic is far stronger than mine!!"

Brian, who was watching from afar, sneered at Jura's 'backing down' behavior. He had long been annoyed with this bald man who had led the attack on the 'Oraclemon'.

But after his mockery, Brian refocused his gaze on Serena, then muttered to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, that guy looks like..."

"He's Serena!!"

With a serious expression, Gerald explained the true identity of this eccentric middle-aged man to his teammates, who were not much younger than him.

Sawyer, Sora, and the others were immediately stunned: "Huh?! Serena?! You mean that 'God' Serena?? Isn't he the number one ranked 'Ten Wizard Saints'...?"

“He was Ishgar’s most powerful person 'once'... I never thought I would meet someone like that.”

The group knew why Serena was referred to as "in the past"—they all agreed that Kira was currently the strongest mage in Ishgar!—but they still felt disdain and even a hint of contempt for Sawyer for saying that, thinking that this guy was too good at flattering, and Kira wasn't even here!

Melty, unlike the adults, wasn't scheming or manipulative, so she focused all her attention on the person Gerald had mentioned: "'The Ten Saints' number one?? Why would someone like that be here?!"

The group had no doubt about the authenticity of this person's identity. Not to mention that Gerald was once one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints' and would certainly know about this, just the immense magical power they felt emanating from Serena as they stood there made them realize that they were far from being a match for this person.

If the other party is willing, it is entirely possible for one person to easily defeat the entire 'Sin of the Witch'!

"Could it be that he also came to watch the Grand Magic Games and got accidentally caught up in it?"

Hmm...that's possible...

Just as everyone was speculating about Serena's identity, Serena finally made his move. He took a step forward, a mocking smile on his face: "Let me remind you of the power of the 'God'!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone felt an unparalleled pressure coming down. Those who were slightly weaker staggered and almost lost their footing, while those who were even weaker were directly pressed to the ground. Some were so frightened by the magic that they broke out in a cold sweat, their limbs went weak, and they were unable to move.

Serena's magic power was leaking out wildly, reaching its peak, turning his eyes black and his pupils gold, as if he had fallen into endless darkness, which was terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, Serena's shout echoed throughout the Grand Magic Games arena, followed by a series of earth-shattering, surging dragon-slaying spells with legendary visual effects.

"The earth collapses at the Cave Dragon's lair!!"

"The Neptune's Water Formation!"

"The Infernal Hell of the Purgatory Dragon!!"

"The Storm Dragon's Song of the Wind and Moon!!"

In an instant, dragon-slaying magic of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind appeared simultaneously. Overwhelming energy bombarded the entire training ground. Rocks, seawater, flames, and hurricanes each displayed their power, destroying everything around them with devastating force.

"No way?! What did I just see?!"

"That guy has four different dragon-slaying spells?! How did he do that??"

"This is outrageous! How could such a thing exist in this world?!"

"The Ten Saints are number one, terrifyingly so!!"
