Yukino was walking down the street with her celestial spirits when a shout suddenly came from behind.
"Wait a minute!"
She turned her head, her eyes showing confusion: "Natsu-sama, Happy-sama?"
Natsu scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry about earlier. Did I make you angry?"
Happy hurriedly explained: "Natsu has a short temper and doesn't know how to talk to girls. He didn't mean any harm."
Yukino's eyes flickered, seemingly in disbelief: "Did you catch up to me just for something like that?"
Natsu looked embarrassed: "I saw your expression looked particularly gloomy, so I thought maybe my attitude made you feel bad."
Yukino lowered her head: "I'm so sorry!"
"No, no, no..."
It was Natsu's first time meeting a girl like this; he was a bit afraid to look at her and waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm the one who should say sorry. Please don't be angry anymore."
Suddenly, he heard the sound of sobbing. He looked up and found Yukino with her head down, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Eh!!!"
Natsu and Happy looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces instantly turning pale with shock.
"Why are you crying?"
The man and the cat were at a loss, watching Yukino kneeling on the ground wiping away tears, thinking they had said something wrong again.
"I'm sorry..."
Yukino covered her face, tears falling: "Because I've never been treated so gently before..."
She spoke of her past, how she had once yearned for Sabertooth and worked hard for it, only to be abandoned because of a single failure. Her heart was truly in pain.
Especially when she had to take off her clothes in front of everyone and erase the guild emblem with her own hands; at that moment, her self-esteem had been trampled into the ground.
Yukino's body trembled, her shoulders twitching slightly as tears slid through her fingers and dripped onto the cold ground.
Watching the girl break down in tears, Happy covered his mouth, tears welling in his eyes; he couldn't bear to see others sad.
Meanwhile, Natsu's expression was grim, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He said in a low voice: "Sorry, I don't know much about other guilds' affairs."
Yukino sobbed: "It's my fault!"
She didn't know why she couldn't control herself and vented all her emotions, even though they weren't people she knew well.
"Why would they humiliate a comrade like that?"
His heart was full of fire, and the flames of anger burned in his eyes: "If they make a comrade cry in sadness, that kind of guild isn't a guild at all."
"Yukino, I will definitely help you get justice!"
There were many things in this world that made him angry, but this kind of betrayal and harm to a comrade deeply provoked his bottom line; he absolutely could not tolerate it.
Yukino looked up at him blankly and murmured softly: "Comrade..."
...Fiore Royal City, a dark underground space.
A red-haired man and a man wrapped entirely in a black cloak sat on the steps. They were none other than King of Red Dragons, Osta and Solence, the Undead Dragon King, whom we haven't seen for a long time.
"Hey, Osta, is it really okay for us to do this? That guy is a human, after all, and they're very cunning."
"No problem. His goal is also to open the Eclipse Gate and bring the dragons from four hundred years ago to the present world. Our goals don't conflict."
Hearing this, Solence said with lingering fear: "But that guy also has methods to control dragons. Even we were almost affected. If it were any other weaker dragon, they would probably think he is the King."
"So what? He himself is weak. When the time comes, we'll just crush him. We will still be the leaders of the Dragon Race."
Osta's voice was cold, his eyes flashing with a chilling light. What happened before had indeed shocked him; that a mere human could actually influence his thoughts was truly incredible.
But it didn't matter; it was just mutual exploitation. Regardless of whether that guy succeeded or not, he must die in the end. This was what he, King of Red Dragons, Osta, said, and no one could stop it!
His eyes showed murderous intent: "It's all that damn Acnologia's fault. If not for him, we wouldn't have fallen to this state. My greatest wish now is to kill him; even resurrecting the Dragon Race ranks second."
"After four hundred years, his dragon body is actually even larger than yours, and that Devouring Magic is truly perverted."
Solence sighed. Ever since they were defeated by Acnologia last time, they had found a place to recuperate. Only three of his Undead Dragons remained now; ten Undead Dragons had been devoured, and his strength was greatly diminished.
Later, a person appeared in the Shadow Space, attempting to steal the Eclipse Gate, and was caught by the Undead Shadow Dragon.
Just as they were about to kill the guy, the other party released a strange magic that clouded their minds. Fortunately, he and Osta were powerful enough to break free.
Seeing that the other party had such skill, Osta questioned him thoroughly. He claimed to be a person from the future and proposed a cooperation to jointly release the ancient Dragon Race.
Solence naturally looked down on humans, but Osta was interested and proposed to see his skills, so he brought out the Eclipse Gate to cooperate.
That Future Person indeed had some methods; he easily manipulated the Fiore Royal Family and started the Grand Magic Games to collect magic power.
"Let's not talk about that bastard Acnologia..."
Solence said worriedly: "That Future Person makes me feel a bit scared. His mind is too deep; I can't see through what he's thinking at all."
Humans might not be as powerful as they are, but when it comes to plotting and schemes, they are far behind.
"What's there to fear? We will use absolute power to crush everything!"
Osta said indifferently: "The Eclipse Gate has no meaning in our hands. Only the Fiore Royal Family can bring it out openly. If the plan succeeds, the world will belong to our Dragon Race."
At that time, he would still be the King of Red Dragons who commanded ten thousand dragons, and he would absolutely not give Acnologia any chance, letting all the dragons swarm him and thoroughly suppress and kill him.
Of course, even if it failed, it wouldn't matter. Failure would at most mean losing an Eclipse Gate, which was stolen anyway, and the two of them would just run away and let that Future Person die on his own.
"What about the celestial spirit keys? I heard that opening the Eclipse Gate requires celestial spirit keys."
"That Future Person has already had the King arrange for General Arcadios to take action. We don't need to worry!"
Solence rubbed his eyes and said: "But my eyelids keep twitching, and I have a bad feeling in my heart."
Osta was a bit impatient: "If you're tired, go take a nap. When you wake up, you'll find that this world is already the domain of our Dragon Race."
What eyelid twitching and bad feelings? You've just been jerking off too much because you can't find a female dragon. Get lost already.
