"Is this Ermina?"
On the magic airship, Erza looked down at a coastal city with towering buildings and spoke.
"Is the Water Dragon God really in this city? It doesn't look like it!"
Wendy, her hands gripping the airship's railing as she looked down at the city, also spoke.
"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go down and check!"
Hearing Erza and Wendy, Kenichi walked over and said.
Just as Kenichi, Erza, and the others prepared to enter the Ermina City, two figures standing on a tall building within the city were watching the magic airship in the sky.
The two were a man and a woman.
The man had a pair of horns on his head, while the woman was dressed in formal attire.
"Water Dragon God-sama, that airship doesn't look like it's from this continent," The formally dressed woman said, looking at the magic airship.
"Heh, more assassins sent by Elefseria," the horned man said, a mocking curve forming on his lips as he looked coldly at the magic airship.
"Elefseria really never gets tired. For over a hundred years, he's kept sending human mages."
"Water Dragon God-sama, should we just go and deal with Elefseria directly..."
Before the formally dressed woman could finish, the horned man interrupted her.
"No need. We've been playing with Elefseria for over a hundred years, I don't mind continuing."
"Besides, it's quite entertaining!"
If Kenichi saw this man and woman at this moment, he would definitely recognize them.
These two were none other than the Water Dragon God he was looking for, and the Water Dragon God's envoy.
"I understand. Then let's shoot down that airship first, to prevent them from using it to escape!"
After saying this, the Water Dragon God's envoy swung her arm towards the magic airship in the sky.
Bzzzt-
In the next second, a high-speed rotating water column, like a tornado, shot directly towards the magic airship.
Boom-
Before the water column could hit the magic airship, it was blocked by an invisible protective barrier around the airship.
"This is... Magic Barrier Particles?!"
Looking at the dense rows of text symbols formed on the protective barrier hit by the water column, the Water Dragon God narrowed his eyes slightly, then showed an amused smile.
The Magic Barrier Particles mentioned by the Water Dragon God were naturally the protective barrier Kenichi created using Jutsu Shiki.
At this moment, Kenichi, Erza, and the others had just disembarked from the magic airship.
Hearing the loud noise from the sky, Kenichi, Erza, and the others all looked towards the sound.
"Someone attacked the magic airship!"
Seeing the magic airship under attack, the expressions of Kenichi, Erza, and the others changed slightly.
"Look over there, it's those two people!"
Wendy quickly noticed the Water Dragon God and his envoy standing on a rooftop in the distance within the city.
Hearing Wendy, Kenichi, Erza, and Mirajane immediately looked in the direction Wendy pointed.
Perhaps Wendy, Erza, and Mirajane didn't recognize the Water Dragon God, but Kenichi did.
The moment he saw the Water Dragon God, Kenichi's eyebrows raised: "He came to us himself!"
"After them!"
Without any hesitation, Kenichi immediately rushed towards the Water Dragon God's location.
Wendy, Erza, and Mirajane quickly followed.
Once they got within a certain distance of the Water Dragon God, Wendy, Erza, and Mirajane suddenly stopped, their hearts feeling as if struck by a violent impact.
"What kind of Magic Power is this..."
"This Magic Power is terrifying!"
At this moment, in the view of the three women, the Water Dragon God didn't seem human at all, but some kind of fearsome monster.
On Tenrou Island, the three women had experienced Hades's terrifying Magic Power…
But they found that Hades's Magic Power was utterly insignificant compared to the person before them.
"Is this person really human? It's almost on par with Acnologia!" Erza looked at the Water Dragon God with a grave expression.
Mentioning Acnologia, Erza suddenly thought of something.
'Could this guy be...'
Thinking this, Erza immediately shouted a warning to Kenichi ahead: "Kenichi, this guy is probably the Water Dragon God!"
"The Water Dragon God? Impossible, right? Elefseria said the Five Dragon Gods are all actual dragons. This is clearly a person!" Hearing Erza, Wendy was first shocked, then spoke with confusion.
The Water Dragon God on the rooftop, seeing the shocked expressions on Erza, Wendy, and Mirajane's faces below, looked pleased, then said clearly: "This is just Transformation Magic. Although other dragons disdain using human form, I find it quite convenient to move around in this body!"
Seeing the Water Dragon God admit his identity himself, Wendy and Mirajane's expressions instantly became tense.
By now, Kenichi had already arrived on the rooftop of a building opposite the Water Dragon God.
"Water Dragon God-sama!"
Seeing Kenichi appear before them as if by teleportation, the expression of the envoy beside the Water Dragon God changed dramatically.
Without any hesitation, she swung her arm towards Kenichi.
Bzzzt-
A water column as thick as a bucket, spinning in a spiral, shot towards Kenichi to crush him.
Just as the water column was about to hit Kenichi, violent flames erupted around his body.
The moment these flames appeared, the water column surging towards Kenichi was completely evaporated into steam by the high temperature.
"Fire?"
The envoy, looking at Kenichi enveloped in crimson flames, tensed up.
The Water Dragon God beside her also looked at Kenichi with interest.
"Oh? Dragon Slayer Magic?"
"And Fire Dragon Slayer Magic at that. This is somewhat interesting!"
"Then let's play with you a little!"
As he spoke, the Water Dragon God turned to face Kenichi and slowly spread his arms.
Bzzzt-
At that moment, the tide of the sea east of Ermina City began to rise at a visible rate.
"Erza, look, the seawater is coming in!"
Mirajane, noticing the seawater flooding in from the end of the street, her pretty face changed, and she immediately spoke to Erza.
"Retreat!"
Erza's expression shifted, and she immediately pulled Wendy and Mirajane, leaping towards a nearby tall building.
Initially, Erza thought leaping to a high building would avoid being submerged.
But soon, the entire city of Ermina turned into an underwater city.
That's right, an underwater city, not just flooded.
"This... this is the power of the Water Dragon God?!"
The three women, now at the bottom of the sea, looked up at the sea surface stretching beyond sight, their hearts shaking violently.
