Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

The next moment! A terrifying roar, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, resounded throughout.

In an instant, an invisible ripple began to spread.

Any clouds that stood in its way collapsed completely.

The earth below also experienced a series of violent rumbling sounds as a result.

[It was as if the area had been ravaged by a Category 12 typhoon; countless rocks were swept up, and sand and dust filled the air.]

At this moment, everyone could clearly hear the roar that belonged only to the dragon!

The black spot is getting bigger and bigger.

[In fact, some sharp-eyed people have been able to see it clearly.]

[Those rough, powerful dragon claws, capable of tearing the earth apart; that enormous body covered in dark, shadowy patterns.]

And, those wings of darkness, powerful enough to obscure the light!

Outside the sky.

Inside the tiger biting with a sword.

Sting's brain was about to shut down.

The hairs on my body stood on end, even through the sky.

He could still feel the oppressive feeling that welled up from the bottom of his heart.

My heart started to beat faster.

Fear... began to take root.

Roger was the same; his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

As he gazed at the sky, he swallowed hard.

But I still felt thirsty.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "This... is Acnologia???"

“This suffocating sense of oppression… Is this the kind of monster Fairy Tail faced back on Tenrou Island?” Sting’s eyes widened, his body trembling.

“Acunorokia…”

Chapter 163 Are you kidding me? This is just a roar??

"They're here!!! Acnologia!!!"

On the city wall, Eileen gritted her teeth and spoke in a low voice.

【"roar----!!!"】

Acnologia, wings outstretched and constantly flying, soared directly overhead at the heads of Henna and Irene.

Their massive bodies completely blocked out the sunlight from their heads.

It's hard to imagine, just from simply flapping its wings.

The transformation caused large cracks to appear in the city walls, which had withstood countless attacks without collapsing.

Acnologia stood directly above them, flapping its terrifying dark wings.

[It quickly circled the entire city.]

The raging wind pressure poured down from the sky.

The once sturdy house is now as fragile as tofu, easily crumbled to the touch!

Beneath the trajectory of Acnologia's flight, a series of violent explosions resounded.

The houses were completely shattered at that moment.

The flames soared into the sky and burned wildly.

Thick plumes of smoke and dust continued to rise.

An overwhelming pressure hung over the entire town.

A corner of the town.

[Mavis and the others, who were already riding on the back of a dragon and preparing to take off, were also watching this scene.]

Their hairs stood on end, and even Yuri and the others' bodies stiffened.

"No...no way...the monster that Master and the others are facing...is actually this kind of thing?"

"Acnologia...in the Book of Revelation, is called the root of destruction. Once Acnologia descends, all things in the world will return to nothingness..."

Mavis pursed her lips, her face more pale than ever before.

"Is there really any chance of winning against something like this?"

Precito also began to have some existential doubts.

[It's just... the scene before my eyes is too despairing.]

[It caused widespread damage to the town simply by speeding around it once.]

Looking around, where does this place resemble the former capital of the Galactic Empire?

Flames burned everywhere, and broken stones lay scattered everywhere.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, illuminating everything as if it were a terrifying hell.

[Kyouka and Sera, sitting in front of the three, had already fallen silent.]

"Acnologia... there's no way to defeat that thing..."

[Kuanghua said in a low voice.]

"Therefore, while we have the time that the Queen, the King, and Lord Belserion have bought for us, we must hurry and escape from here..."

"At the very least... we must protect the seed of the Galactic Empire, Princess Erza, who has yet to be born."

"Young Master..." Sera's expression was downcast.

She didn't want to leave, but...

Touching the ancient book in her arms, which had already begun to burn, Sera involuntarily closed her eyes tightly.

She had to protect this book. If she could protect it, even if Hanetsu died in this war, she could bring him back to life.

This is also why Sera agreed to let Kuanghua leave first.

Kuang Hua took a deep breath and patted the neck of the giant dragon below.

"We're about to set off...we've fallen to last place."

The giant dragon below them raised its head, its massive wings flapping.

At that moment, Mavis clenched her teeth tightly.

He shouted loudly, "Wait!!"

She looked directly at Kuanghua, at Sera, at Yuri and the others, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I can't just abandon my master and run away like this!"

She looked into the distance, towards the city walls shrouded in dark clouds, and said in a deep voice, "I...I must go back to help my master and the others!"

【"help??"】

Yuri found this somewhat absurd.

"With our capabilities, how could we possibly be of any help?"

"A battle of that level, even the aftershocks would kill us, wouldn't they?"

[Mavis's emerald green eyes were filled with unwavering determination.]

Her tiny fists were clenched tightly.

"I...I have my own way!"

Even if it doesn't work out, we can just die together.

"Anyway, if it weren't for our master's teachings, we would have died in Magnolia long ago."

The more Mavis spoke, the more resolute she became.

"So, you all leave first, I'll go help! I have my own way of doing it."

[With that, Mavis disregarded the objections of the others and jumped straight off the dragon's back.]

[Bare feet, ignoring the messy ground, began to run desperately towards the city wall.]

【…】

[From the direction of the city wall, Henatsu and Irene were watching intently as a giant dragon flapped its wings and floated in mid-air.]

Those pale eyes were fixed intently on the two of them.

The howling wind exploded in my ears.

Eileen raised her arm and wiped the sweat from her cheek.
