Chapter 286 Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Dragon-Slaying Greatsword
The castle courtyard.
The ground was littered with the wreckage of a battle, and amidst the billowing smoke, two Demon Heart Mages stood shoulder to shoulder.
His demeanor was arrogant.
"Chirp chirp chirp, with this kind of strength they dare to attack us? What arrogant fools!"
"Don't worry, I will cut you in half at the waist according to the tradition of Bushido, so you won't suffer too much pain."
On the left is a humanoid rooster with a bright red comb on its head, completely covered with white feathers. On the right is a warrior wearing red armor, with dark brown skin and a tuft of brown beard that looks like a dog's tail.
They are Kavaz and Yumaz, subordinates of Zudir (Capricco). They possess powerful magic and combat strength and are among the elite of the elite in the heart of the demon. They are the most likely candidates to become the new Seven Kin!
The two encountered the Lane Engine Squad, consisting of Levy, Jett, and Troy.
Although the three of them improved their strength with the help of the Dark Magician's training guide, they cooperated quite well.
However, short-term training is ultimately insufficient to bridge the already significant gap in magical power between the two sides.
With the continuous influx of Demon Heart Magic Earth reinforcements from the surrounding area, they were eventually driven to the brink of despair after a series of battles.
"Damn it! They're not even members of the Seven Kin, how can they be this strong?!" Jet clenched his fists, his face full of resentment.
"I'm sorry, Levy, we're too weak, and we've dragged you down again—"
Troy's eyes dimmed, filled with hatred for his own incompetence.
Their clothes were tattered, they were covered in wounds, and their aura was extremely weak. Their magical power had been completely exhausted, and only their willpower was keeping them going.
"No, that's not true. Jett and Troy were injured protecting me!"
In contrast, Levy was in much better condition, with only minor scratches on her face and the strength to continue fighting. "Now, it's my turn to protect you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Levy stepped forward and stood in front of Jet and Troy, her small frame radiating unwavering courage.
Despite the presence of protective factors, in terms of overall combat capability, she had long surpassed her two licks—no, her two partners—and was undoubtedly the strongest member of the Lane Engine Squad.
This was clearly demonstrated in both the battle just now and in Elfman's frequent reprimands of Jet and Troy for their weakness.
Otherwise, Levy wouldn't have been recognized by Makarov and become a candidate for the S-class mage exam!
This is actually a rather cruel reality for Jet and Troy.
Of course, they are working very hard to become stronger, but their starting point in magic and their talent mean that it will be difficult for them to catch up with monsters like Nazgray, at least not in the short term.
even so...·
Despite their injuries, Jet and Troy stood on either side of Levy.
"You guys." Levy frowned with concern.
While Chase's cards can save his life, they cannot heal mana depletion, which is quite dangerous for a mage.
Jett, panting heavily, interrupted Levy: "I'm sorry, but leaving Levy to fight alone is something I..."
I simply cannot do it.
"Please, Levy, let us fight alongside you to the very end!"
Troy shakily raised his hand, using up all his strength to summon a plant magic circle from his fingertips.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Levy sighed heavily, then suddenly looked up, choosing to respect their resolve: "Alright! Let them see how powerful our Lane Engine Team is!"
"Impressive? Heh, while I certainly admire that fearless spirit—"
Yumazu slowly drew his katana from his waist and said coldly, "But you guys are really too weak."
The weak should be executed!
"Hurry up and make your move. If others beat us to it, we won't have a chance to become one of the Seven Kin." Kavaz spread his chicken wings and assumed an attack stance.
The Seven Kin of Purgatory hold extremely high authority and status within the heart of the demon. As second-tier mages, they are naturally ambitious and eager to replace one of them as a powerful assistant to Guild Master Hades.
Once the Great Magic World is successfully opened, one can ascend to the highest level and become a supreme being. Thinking of this, Kavaz channeled his magic and launched an attack on Levy and the other two: "Egg Rain!"
A barrage of egg bombs rained down from his mouth, instantly sealing off the space in which Levy and the others could move.
Immediately following, Yumazu, who shared the same idea, glared fiercely, held his katana behind him, and swung it with tremendous force: "3D Script - Slash!"
The sharp blade flashed horizontally, easily slicing through buildings in its path, demonstrating considerable power.
Surrounded by two magical attacks, Levy and her two companions had nowhere to hide and could only watch helplessly as the deadly slashes grew larger and larger in their field of vision.
"Chirp~"
In the nick of time, Levy seemed to hear a familiar, strange laugh.
The next second, the Iron Dragon Sword descended from the sky, violently slashing towards Yumazu's 3D Text Slash.
At the same time, a dark figure swept through the air, intercepting all the egg bombs and keeping them outside the safe zone!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The blade shattered, and explosions rang out one after another.
Amidst the rising dust, two figures stood before the lane engine team.
"Gajeel! And Riki!" Levy exclaimed.
Jett and Troy, who had been shielding her behind them, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of satisfaction: "We're saved..."
"Tch, what bad luck. I was looking for some strong guys to fight, but I ended up running into you guys here." Gajeel waved his hand casually, his words tinged with disappointment.
"Gagajiru, didn't we come here specifically to help Levy and the others because we learned from them that they encountered a powerful enemy?" Rili asked in his battle form, puzzled.
"Stop right there!"
Caught off guard, Gajeel immediately lost his composure, his face flushed red as he hurriedly explained, "Before joining the guild, I had a little unpleasant experience with them. Now, I'm just trying to make amends!!"
"I've heard Happy mention that before. I think you were stripped naked and hung on the town tower back then?" Lili nodded seriously.
"Forget about that kind of thing immediately!"
Seeing that his embarrassing past had reached the ears of the satisfied cat, Gajeel went from shame to rage, "I'll tear that damn fire dragon's mouth apart sooner or later!!!"
"So why Natsu?" Levy's lips twitched, speechless.
"That's all there is to it. You little brat over there, get out of my way! You're totally in my way!"
What? It's clearly an expression of concern.
Despite her displeasure with Gajeel's vulgar language, Levy obediently stepped back.
Jett, Troy: What about us?
"Two more fearless individuals have come knocking on our door, Yumazu. We're really lucky." Kavaz rubbed his hands together excitedly.
In this way, they will have killed five Fairy Tail mages, greatly increasing their chances of becoming one of the Seven Kin!
Upon hearing such arrogant words, Gajeel turned around abruptly, and the blush on his face vanished instantly.
Instead, there was a chilling, sharp gaze.
"So it's you, right? How dare you injure my partner like that! Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, don't expect me to let you off easily!"
boom!
A burst of violent magic erupted, blowing up Gajeel's clothes and long hair, making him look like a terrifying, writhing dragon about to go berserk.
"Even though you're chickens and dogs, I'll reluctantly use you to test the magic I just learned."
The cyan magic circle rotated from top to bottom, and Gajeel's raised right arm gradually transformed into a steel dragon tooth greatsword, radiating extremely ferocious energy fluctuations.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique—"
"Heavy Iron Dragon-Slaying Greatsword!"
