A terrifying roar emanated from the giant mouth, startling all the birds and beasts in the mountain forest below.
The wild wind, carried by the sound waves, blew from the sky to the ground, snapping many trees cleanly.
Many Fairy Tail members hidden in the forest were almost blown away and had to urgently find cover to avoid the blast.
"So ugly," Rhode complained, digging into his ear as he shouted, "Purgatory Sub-Dragon! Warm them up!"
...
"Found them, hiding in the forest below!"
Crawford motioned with his fingers, marking dozens of little red dots on the screen.
Franmaris looked at Kuanghua, who had just rushed to the control room.
Without any hesitation, Kuanghua ordered, "Netherworld King Beast, descend, eliminate them!"
The Netherworld King Beast obediently began to descend, and Kuanghua believed these guys were dead for sure. Turning his head, he asked, "How is Feis?"
At the mention of this, Crawford immediately became exuberant:
"It's astonishing! There are actually 3000 Feis! They're currently emerging across the continent one by one! The world will soon be ours!"
"I don't want to hear this nonsense. I asked when they'll be ready to start. Surely we don't have to send our people one by one?"
"Of course not, my Super Ancient Document Magic can connect their signals one by one. Once all 3000 are unsealed, we can activate them all in one go!"
Crawford boasted proudly, "What do you think? Isn't it great? This is the power of the Speaker, so only I can be the Speaker! When you rule the world, it will be the same!"
Kuanghua sneered disdainfully; mere humans dared to show such arrogance in front of her, and such promises could actually be taken seriously.
Foolish and overconfident beings.
If it weren't for the fact she indeed needed this guy's power, Kuanghua would have taken him for torture long ago.
She urged, "Then hurry up, I want to see the world's Magic Power and Fairy Tail wiped out together."
Franmaris excitedly rubbed his hands together: "Ahaha, what a luxurious funeral that would be. They should feel honored, right?"
"Hehehe..." Crawford let out a sinister chuckle incongruent with his image, flexing his fingers, "I'm about to..."
Boom!!!
"Roar!!!"
The ground shook violently, and Crawford couldn't keep his balance, his rotund body crashing into Franmaris.
The two round figures rolled together from the center of the control room to the corner, dazed from the fall, only Kuanghua's demonic feet securely gripping the ground.
This tremor was out of the ordinary, even the control room's ceiling began to crumble.
The temperature around seemed to rise slightly.
Franmaris's body was somewhat flattened, and Crawford was nearly pierced by the opponent's armor.
After crying out in pain, the two scrambled to ask, "What happened?"
Kuanghua stared blankly at the surveillance footage representing the area above Netherworld Island, "…Dragon?"
In the footage, a black-and-red Giant Dragon just sprayed Dragon Breath towards Netherworld Island.
And the position of this breath, hitting dead center, was precisely where the Gate of the Underworld palace building was located.
The entire guild's ground portion was swallowed by magma, explosion sounds booming, the guild was almost completely destroyed.
Fortunately, black thorns suddenly appeared, wrapping around the guild, preventing the most important control room from being affected.
"It's the Netherworld Lord's enchantment," Kuanghua's temple dripped cold sweat, "To actually trouble the Netherworld Lord personally is our failure."
Sella hurriedly ran in: "Lord Kuanghua! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, what about the others?"
Sella said: "Jia Ka'er and Dempsey Tower went up; they said we shouldn't trouble the Netherworld Lord from the start.
"Keith said he couldn't help much with this, but if they kill that dragon, please give him the fresh corpse."
Kuanghua nodded in approval, Jia Ka'er and Dempsey Tower's approach was the right one, Nine Ghosts Sect should indeed worry for the Netherworld Lord.
Sella lowered her head: "Sorry, my 'order' doesn't work on that dragon."
Kuanghua patted her on the head: "That's to be expected, after all, that race once ruled this continent, unlike weak humans."
Explosions continued to reverberate, accompanied by the Netherworld King Beast's cries of pain and rage.
To it, the dragon was just a minor nuisance, but this little nuisance was causing havoc on it! The Netherworld King said it just wanted to swallow it whole now!
But Kuanghua didn't give it the order to counterattack, only urging the Netherworld King Beast to descend quickly.
Franmaris asked, "But, why is the Giant Dragon attacking us? Is this its territory?"
"You really don't know?" Crawford exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Rhode's magic? They say he can summon dragon swarms!
"Speaking of which, don't you know about the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts? Being targeted by him is big trouble, we should leave here quickly!"
Kuanghua glared at him, "We're not interested in human activities, besides, this is the route designated by the Netherworld Lord. Does the Gate of the Underworld need to specially avoid a human?
"Rhode… I remember now, he's the one who disrupted Jia Ka'er's operation, right? Sella, let's go. We must send him to the Netherworld!"
"Yes." Sella followed without hesitation.
"Madmen, madmen," Crawford's lips trembled in fear, "Why provoke someone like that at this time?"
"It's not us provoking him, it's him hindering our actions." Franmaris thought of the Netherworld Lord's 'entertainment program', "Eliminating him and his guild is just the Netherworld Lord's pre-plan game."
Crawford pointed to the screen showing the rampaging Giant Dragon, "That thing is also a game?!"
"Uh… um…" Franmaris was at a loss for words, "Anyway, just hurry up and activate Feis already! That's our job!"
"I already said, it needs at least an hour of preheating..." Another violent tremor, Crawford barely held onto the wall, "Can you hold on for an hour?"
The Netherworld King Beast landed with a booming sound, and Netherworld Gate soldiers ready to go yelled as they charged into the forest.
At this moment a purple 'tiny thing' shattered the ground, knocked aside trees, and brazenly rammed its head against the side of the Netherworld King Beast.
BANG!
"Roar!!!"
Based solely on size, Canyon Vanguard crashing into the Netherworld King Beast resembled a fly hitting a basketball.
Yet this insignificant little thing's impact made the Netherworld King Beast emit a fierce cry of pain.
The soldiers just landed from the island didn't even get to see the enemy before being blown away by the Netherworld King Beast's roar.
The Canyon Vanguard retreated slightly, ready for another go.
But the Netherworld King Beast didn't give it the chance, with a flick of its black tentacle side, it easily shattered the Canyon Vanguard's shell.
Sending it directly back to the canyon.
Rhode's voice echoed through Wolian's communication channel: "Don't rush, don't rush, hit them first with a wave of remote attacks!"
