Enveloped in unprecedented flames, the sky was scorched red.
Acnologia had Drake's fist imprint on his head's scales, and he was puzzled as to why an ant like Drake could inflict such damage.
Acnologia didn't have magic attributes; if he had to say, his attribute would be magic power itself.
So Acnologia could devour all magic, and his scales could defend against magic attacks of all attributes.
But Drake's attack had worked, making Acnologia feel pain for the first time in a long time.
Drake felt the surging power within him, understanding the source.
The skill [Dragon Slayer], the effect of which was increased attack power and damage against dragon types.
Although Drake usually activated this skill through hypnosis, it was now that the skill unleashed its true power.
In that case, this battle wasn't completely unwinnable! Thinking this, Drake approached Acnologia, planning to launch a follow-up attack.
Perhaps angered by Drake, Acnologia roared to the sky.
The sound waves stirred up waves, and along with the powerful magic power released by Acnologia, directly pushed Drake away.
Feeling that suffocating sensation, Drake completely forgot his earlier thoughts.
Acnologia had only been fighting with a playful attitude against weaker beings, which was why Drake had gained the upper hand earlier.
But now that he was serious, Drake knew how terrifying the Dragon King who had exterminated the entire dragon race was.
But at the same time, Drake's [Dragon Slayer] also released an even more terrifying power, and Drake's orange-red flames began to turn to incandescent white.
Others became stronger by turning dark, but Drake was turning white instead. However, Drake could feel that these white flames possessed terrifying power.
And after Spirit Assimilation, a strange pattern appeared on Drake's body, which was now in magic power form.
These patterns resembled flowers, spreading from his chest to his cheeks, and even the dragon horns on Drake's head were wrapped in the pattern.
Acnologia's tail lashed out, creating ripples on the sea surface, followed by huge waves.
Drake raised his hand to block the falling tail, looking strained but indeed blocking the attack.
Curving his fingers, Drake's palm directly released scorching flames, pushing Acnologia's tail back up.
Drake also shot into the sky, a ball of flame erupting between his hands.
"Flame Dragon King's Brilliant Flame!"
After bringing out all his trump cards, Drake's dragon slayer magic had also improved, reaching Igneel's level of magic power, successfully using the Flame Dragon King's magic.
Acnologia opened his mouth, and a torrent of magic power shot out directly from his mouth, colliding with Drake's flames.
That wasn't a roar; it was probably just a normal release of condensed magic power. But with just that, Drake's Flame Dragon King's Brilliant Flame was shattered.
Drake passed through the shattered flames and torrent of magic power, seeing Acnologia swing his giant claws at him.
"Flame Dragon King's Crushing Fist!"
Drake also punched out with all his strength, and a phantom of Igneel formed behind Drake, also making a punching motion.
After a few seconds of silence, a thunderous roar erupted. It was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated at sea, and even the clouds in the sky were cleared away.
Drake flew out like a kite with a broken string, the dragon power unable to heal his body's injuries in time.
"So, First, hurry up!"
…
Time returned to after Drake had just defeated Precht.
After using the Dragon Slayer Secret Art to blast Precht away, Drake put away all his states and sat on the ruins of the airship.
Feeling the magic power replenished by the Tenrou Tree, Drake breathed a sigh of relief.
Precht's strength was definitely at the top three of the Ten Wizard Saints; defeating him was definitely not easy.
Just then, Drake saw the figure of a young girl on the side.
"How tragic! Precht actually walked down such a path."
After saying this, the barefoot girl with winged headgear looked at Drake, saying, "There's actually a remarkable junior like you in the guild! That makes me so happy."
Drake quickly greeted, "Nice to meet you. Hello, First."
Mavis said in surprise, "You actually recognize me?"
Drake nodded, saying, "There are records of the First in the guild library, so I can recognize your identity. But this form is really magical!"
Drake couldn't feel anything from Mavis's spirit; there were no soul fluctuations, magic power, or life signs.
If he couldn't actually see her, Drake wouldn't be able to sense Mavis's existence at all. That was why Drake said her current state was magical.
"So why did the First appear before me?" Drake asked.
In the original story, Mavis's spirit had only appeared when Acnologia was about to destroy Tenrou Island, guiding everyone to use "Fairy Sphere," so Drake was curious as to why she had appeared before him this time.
Mavis sat next to Drake, saying, "At first, it was because of that young woman; I wanted to see how she would use Fairy Glitter.
Then it was you. Your confusion is even greater than that young woman's."
Drake was stunned, then said, "You noticed, huh! First, I want to ask you a favor.
The Black Dragon Acnologia will be arriving here soon. If everyone doesn't leave in time, please protect them."
Mavis looked at Drake, saying, "The resolve to sacrifice yourself to protect your comrades is great, but that's not what everyone wants!"
Drake smiled, saying, "Please rest assured. I won't go and throw my life away, so please protect everyone!"
…
While Drake was fighting Acnologia, Mavis's spirit also appeared before everyone.
Although she was a spirit, Mavis still had the ability to touch physical objects.
She took out a magical tool, projecting a video of Drake fighting Acnologia in front of everyone.
Gildarts firmly held down Natsu, saying sternly, "Calm down! You'll only hold Drake back in your current state!"
Natsu pounded the ground with his fist in frustration, his eyes filled with tears.
Makarov crushed the magic staff in his hand. As a parent, having to watch his child fend off danger for him was what he resented the most.
Mavis said, "The young man named Drake said that he has a way to escape. And we must prepare for evacuation; only if we are safe can he escape with peace of mind.
Everyone knows the situation. Now, please join hands and use our Fairy Tail bonds to complete this magic!"
Makarov took one last look at the video, saying, "We can't waste Drake's efforts. We must all survive."
…
Drake wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the surging power behind him, and finally smiled.
"Acnologia, this is where I leave you! But rest assured, we will settle this one day!"
As Drake said this, a silver-black magic circle opened. Drake directly passed through the magic circle, disappearing into thin air.
And seeing Drake disappear in the video, everyone holding hands finally relaxed. Fairy Sphere was completely finished.
The giant magic power ball with the Fairy Tail symbol wrapped around the entire Tenrou Island, slowly sinking into the sea.
The entire sea area became empty except for Acnologia, and an angry roar echoed around.
…
Seven years later, the seal of Fairy Sphere was released, and Fairy Tail's main force returned to the guild.
Makarov sat at the bar, looking at the bustling guild with a sense of satisfaction.
Except for Macao and Wakaba getting older, the guild hadn't changed at all.
Macao leaned next to Makarov, saying, "It's all thanks to Drake. He not only supported the guild for these seven years but also recruited many promising newcomers."
Makarov said with emotion, "Two dragon slayers, a god slayer, and a girl who can rival them with just her swordsmanship. I don't know where Drake found them."
Seeing the returning members already mingling with the newcomers, Makarov couldn't help but smile with relief.
He had been worried that something bad would happen with Fairy Tail's main force gone for these seven years, but he hadn't expected Drake to be so capable.
Speaking of which, judging from his performance over these seven years, it seemed that he could entrust the guild to Drake with peace of mind.
Then, Makarov saw Lucy looking pathetic.
Macao also noticed Makarov's gaze, saying, "Lucy probably received a gift from Drake!
In these seven years, Drake not only found some excellent newcomers but also collected several celestial spirit magic keys. It seems they're the zodiac's golden keys!"
Lucy carefully hung the two golden keys that Drake had left behind on her key pouch, then looked at the twelve golden keys, neatly arranged, with a silly grin.
From now on, Lucy was also a celestial spirit mage who controlled all twelve zodiac spirits.
Makarov didn't look at his own silly child, asking, "Speaking of Drake, where is he? I haven't seen him."
Macao replied, "Drake goes out for a while every so often. He last left a month ago; he should be back soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guild door was pushed open.
"Everyone, it's been seven years; welcome back!"
