"Human! If you are planning to provoke me, then let me tell you, you have succeeded! You have successfully provoked the great Dogramag!!"
'Earth Dragon God' Dogramag felt the burning pain on his cheek. After being momentarily stun
ned, he let out an enraged roar. He was a great Dragon God, an existence standing at the pinnacle of Northern Continent, Guiltina. How could he be humiliated by a mere human like this?! Humans were existences that, in his eyes, were like ants. Dogramag, having been humiliated like this, felt that he could not endure it!
"Roar!!"
After Dogramag became enraged, he stood up his enormous body and charged straight toward Evan.
"Boom!"
Facing the 'Earth Dragon God' Dogramag, whose entire body radiated an immense sense of oppression, Evan stood in the air without changing his expression. He merely raised his left arm lightly before suddenly swinging it out.
"Can't dodge it?!"
Dogramag looked at Evan's raised left hand and suddenly became mentally shaken!
Cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead, and his body trembled faintly!
Dogramag could no longer remember how long it had been since he had experienced this kind of trembling and terrified feeling!
When facing Evan, he actually felt the same helplessness he had experienced four hundred years ago when facing Acnologia! One had to know that things were different back then. At that time, he was merely a young dragon who had not yet grown up...
"Wasn't I already standing at the pinnacle of the Dragon Race? Why is there still an existence stronger than me in this world? That shouldn't be possible?!"
Dogramag was puzzled inwardly, but obviously, this was not the time for Dogramag to silently ponder.
"Smack!"
Accompanied by a violent gust of wind, 'Earth Dragon God' Dogramag suddenly felt a burning pain on his cheek.
That's right, Evan had casually waved his hand and delivered another big slap! Just the powerful air pressure generated by Evan's swinging palm was enough to make Dogramag feel a scorching pain on his face.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a roar, a Big Slap reaching Level 16 directly slapped Dogramag, who was in his giant dragon form, back into human form! The 'Earth Dragon God' who had still been acting invincible moments ago was now staggering on his knees, his eyes filled with furious blood vessels as he viciously glared at Evan in midair.
However, just as Dogramag was planning to make another move, he suddenly thought of something, and his body paused slightly.
"You..."
Dogramag felt the pain on his face and recalled Evan's strength that was so powerful that it made it impossible for anyone to produce even the slightest thought of resisting. At this moment, he gradually calmed down and looked at Evan with a hint of scrutiny.
"You aren't... human! Are you a Dragon Slayer Mage?"
Dogramag recalled the enormous power contained within Evan's Big Slap, narrowed his eyes, and asked Evan.
"Oh? Looks like you've calmed down?"
Evan looked at Dogramag, who was gradually calming down, and smiled lightly. What should one do when a giant dragon goes crazy? Just give it a few Big Slaps...
"You..."
Seeing that Evan had no intention of answering his question, Dogramag stopped asking Evan and instead looked toward his good brother, 'Fire Dragon God' Ignia.
"Ignia, answer my question. What exactly is going on?! Who exactly are they?"
Dogramag looked at Ignia and asked coldly.
"This..."
Upon hearing Dogramag's question, cold sweat appeared on Ignia's forehead as his brain continuously thought about Dogramag's question.
"..."
At the same time, just as Ignia was preparing to speak, Irene, Selene, and Acnologia all cast death glares toward Ignia. For a moment, in the entire underground city, the air within the central temple of Dogramag's Great Labyrinth seemed to have frozen.
"This is our boss, Evan Belserion! Just as you guessed, he is a Dragon Slayer Mage! Let me make this clear beforehand, Dogramag. I'm not trying to intimidate you. I can tell you with certainty that Evan is absolutely the strongest Dragon Slayer Mage in this world, bar none. So I advise you to put away your little schemes and don't play any tricks in front of my big brother Evan..."
Ignia's eyes darted around wildly. Then, seemingly having figured something out, he transformed into human form, stood in front of Dogramag, and spoke righteously.
"What?! Bastard! Ignia..."
"Wasn't this the plan you and I came up with together?! You despicable little man, you actually went back on your word! Dogramag and you..."
Upon hearing Ignia's words, Dogramag immediately became furious. He barked furiously at Ignia, his heart filled with rage. The plan had clearly been devised by him and Ignia together, but now it seemed as though he alone was at fault. Obviously, he had been stabbed in the back by Ignia.
"Shut up!"
Before Dogramag could finish speaking, Ignia flashed forward and arrived in front of Dogramag, waving his hand and delivering a Big Slap.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a roar...
Dogramag was immediately sent flying from where he stood, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.
"Pfft..."
At the same time, a mouthful of old blood spurted from Dogramag's mouth.
"You bastard..."
Dogramag glared angrily at Ignia. He had already realized that Ignia was serious. This bastard genuinely wanted to take him out.
"Evan, I think there's no need to waste words with Dogramag. Let's hurry up and take him out!"
Ignia's entire body was radiating scorching flames as he seriously spoke to Evan.
"Ignia, I remember you once said that Dogramag was an existence comparable to your own biological brother, right? How are you now dealing such ruthless blows against your own biological brother?"
Selene narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ignia, who was preparing to kill his own brother in the name of justice, and asked.
"Shut up! I don't remember ever saying such a thing!"
"Besides, Dogramag was the one who betrayed me first. As a member of the Fairy Tail guild, I absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of a crisis that could threaten our guild..."
Ignia was imposing and righteous, filled with an air of integrity.
If everyone present had not known exactly what kind of person Ignia was, perhaps they would already have believed his righteous words.
"Dogramag, don't hate me. I will remember the kindness you showed your brother in my heart. After you die, your brother will preserve your soul, so you can go in peace!"
Ignia looked at Dogramag and sighed helplessly. He did not want to be so ruthless toward Dogramag either, but there was no other way. For the sake of his own life, he could only send his brother on his way!
"..."
Dogramag remained silent. He glared angrily at Ignia. If he had another chance, he absolutely would not cooperate with the idiot in front of him again.
"Fire Dragon God's Collapse Fist!"
As the saying goes, while the dragon is sick, take the dragon's life. In order to express his determination to people like Evan, Ignia directly swung his fist viciously at Dogramag. The enormous Dragon Power seemed capable of burning this entire world to ashes, and the terrifying force headed straight for Dogramag's cheek.
"You bastard..."
Dogramag cursed angrily, but was powerless. Dogramag, who himself had not recovered his full strength, had already weakened to the extreme after taking two Level 16 Big Slaps from Evan. If he took this punch from Ignia now, then without a doubt, Dogramag would die on the spot.
"Boom!"
However, at this critical moment, someone blocked Ignia's fist.
"Hm?!"
For a moment, both Ignia and Dogramag froze in place.
"Ignia, why are you in such a hurry?!"
"Are you planning to kill the dragon to silence him just like that?"
Evan blocked Ignia's fist with one hand and looked at Ignia with a smile as he asked.
"I..." Ignia's eye twitched. Facing Evan, whose entire body radiated boundless power, he ultimately withdrew his strength and quickly retreated several steps while smiling as he spoke: "How could that be? I, Ignia, have a clear conscience. I simply cannot stand a despicable person like Dogramag who betrays his word. After all, you also know that I, Ignia, am sworn against evil, Evan."
"Dogramag, you saw it too. This brat Ignia wants to kill you. He's completely unreliable!"
"If you want to stay alive, then aside from relying on me, you have no other choice..."
"I'll give you a chance to confess everything yourself. You should understand that confessing leads to leniency, while resisting leads to severity!"
Evan stood in front of Dogramag and spoke with a smile.
At this moment, Evan and Ignia were completely playing good cop and bad cop.
"Heh heh, who knows whether you and Ignia are actually on the same side?"
Dogramag had lived for more than four hundred years, so he was not stupid either. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Evan and asked coldly.
"Whether Ignia and I are on the same side seems to have nothing to do with your current situation, right?"
"After all, if I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to stop me anyway."
Evan's words were quite honest. He had already proven his strength just now. Wanting to crush Dogramag was nothing more than a few Big Slaps.
"That is true..."
Dogramag frowned and thought for a while before lightly nodding.
"What do you want to ask?"
Dogramag looked at Evan and asked.
"What did you and Ignia plan?"
Evan looked at Dogramag and asked.
"Ignia asked me to use my ability to separate you all, and then he would take you out one by one! Then he would become the boss of the Fairy Tail guild! Become the king of the world!"
Dogramag honestly told Evan the plan he and Ignia had made.
That's right, according to what Ignia had told Dogramag, becoming the guild master of the Mage Guild Fairy Tail was equivalent to becoming the world king of Earth-land...
Although putting it that way seemed strange, it was not exactly wrong. With Fairy Tail's current strength, the boss of the Fairy Tail guild was indeed equivalent to the world king of Earth-land!
Even if Edolas and Elentear were included, it was obvious that the authority of the Fairy Tail guild master was far greater than that of the world king of Earth-land!
"Hm?"
Upon hearing this, Evan looked toward Dogramag behind him.
"That's not right! What I said was that I would defeat you, not take you out."
"Dogramag, don't frame me..."
After hearing Evan's words, Ignia's expression changed slightly. At the same time, cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he growled at Dogramag.
"There's no difference..."
Dogramag looked disdainful upon hearing Ignia's words. Obviously, to him, whether Ignia had said he would take Evan and the others out, or crush and defeat Evan and the others, there was not much difference.
"Continue..."
Evan interrupted Dogramag and Ignia's exchange and motioned for Dogramag to continue.
"He told me that as long as he became the boss of that Fairy Tail guild, he would allow me to devour the entire Northern Continent, Guiltina!"
Dogramag continued, telling Evan about the agreement he and Ignia had made.
"I see~"
At this, Evan revealed a smile. He believed what Dogramag had said. This was indeed something Ignia could do.
"I didn't! Don't make things up..."
At this moment, Ignia was covered in cold sweat. Seeing that the plan he and Dogramag had made had already been exposed, he could already imagine the painful punishment he would have to endure in the future.
"Heh heh, we'll deal with your matter later!" Evan turned around and gave Ignia a meaningful look, then continued speaking to Dogramag: "Earth Dragon God Dogramag, I have a proposal now. First, you join Fairy Tail and become a member of our Mage Guild Fairy Tail. Second, from now on, you are not allowed to leave the labyrinth you reside in!"
"Join Fairy Tail? Stop joking. I absolutely refuse to live together with humans! I would rather die than..."
Upon hearing Evan's words, Dogramag raised his head and spoke arrogantly.
"Is that so? Then go die!"
Upon hearing Dogramag's words, Evan also revealed a smile while raising his arm.
"No! Didn't you say there was a second choice?"
Seeing Evan raise his arm, Dogramag suddenly panicked and shouted nervously.
"I suddenly feel that, after all, you are a great Dragon God, and I shouldn't humiliate you! That would be wrong. So after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I can only kill you..."
"At the same time, I'm also somewhat curious. Do you really prefer death over living together with humans?"
After hearing Dogramag's question, Evan revealed a kind smile.
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Dogramag felt as though something was stuck in his throat. He suddenly somewhat regretted his decision.
"Actually, you could try humiliating me a little..."
Dogramag spoke weakly.
That's right, a rough man more than two meters tall was now sitting collapsed on the ground in front of Evan like a bashful little girl, muttering softly! Without realizing it, Dogramag had already awakened the femi...ahem!
"Heh heh, just kidding. After all, I'm not some devil!"
"Since you don't want to join our Fairy Tail guild, I won't force you. However, from now on, you cannot leave this labyrinth, and unless some human attacks you, you absolutely cannot attack those humans!"
Evan thought for a moment and added a new restriction to the restrictions he had originally placed on Dogramag.
Although this restriction seemed somewhat unnecessary, because ordinary people would basically never run into Dogramag's labyrinth, and those who went into Dogramag's labyrinth for no reason were obviously lunatics who had already thrown life and death to the wind. Since they did not care about their own lives, Evan had no intention of saving these people either, but...
One had to know that Fairy Tail's Mages, as well as Diabolos's Dragon Eaters, were still inside Dogramag's Great Labyrinth~
Although Dogramag's current strength was only one-tenth of its former level, he was absolutely not someone that Fairy Tail's current Mages or Diabolos's Dragon Eaters could deal with...
"Mm..."
Dogramag was somewhat silent at this moment because he felt that Evan's joke actually was not very funny.
"Alright, then let's talk about some other things next."
Evan sat in front of Dogramag and continued speaking.
"What things?"
Dogramag asked in confusion.
"Give me Elefseria's heart!"
After going around in circles with Dogramag, Evan finally brought up Elefseria's heart.
"Oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Dogramag narrowed his eyes.
"So that's it. You guys are also after that guy's heart?"
Dogramag narrowed his eyes and asked Evan coldly.
At the same time, Dogramag pondered inwardly about how to negotiate with Evan and the others using Elefseria's heart!
He believed this was an opportunity...
"Stop wasting words and hurry up and take it out!"
Just as Dogramag was thinking, Evan reached out and slapped Dogramag on the head while urging him.
"Eh?! Did I guess wrong?!"
Seeing how Evan did not care at all about Elefseria's heart, Dogramag was immediately stunned and began doubting himself. He had originally planned to use this heart to get some leverage over Evan, but...
"Hurry up, take it out for me!"
As Evan spoke, he patted Dogramag on the shoulder again and urged him.
"Oh, oh..."
Upon hearing this, Dogramag did not dare to continue stalling and hurriedly handed Elefseria's heart to Evan.
"This is..."
Evan took the bright red heart from Dogramag's hand and frowned.
Evan could feel that Dogramag's heart contained a massive amount of knowledge.
"Irene!"
After thinking for a while, Evan threw the heart in his hand to Irene.
"Sure enough, this guy doesn't care about this heart at all?"
Seeing Evan immediately give the heart away, Dogramag helplessly sighed.
One had to know that as a 'Law Dragon' and Dragon Slayer Mage, all of Elefseria's power and boundless knowledge were gathered within his heart. In other words, whoever obtained Elefseria's heart could possess the boundless knowledge within that heart...
In this magic-filled world of Earth-land, knowledge represented power,
"Interesting!"
After Irene took Elefseria's heart from Evan, she immediately revealed a smile. She could feel the boundless knowledge within that heart, and immediately smiled.
"Separate! Enchant..."
Immediately afterward, Irene secretly used Separation and Enchantment Magic on Elefseria's heart, enchanting the boundless knowledge within the heart into her own mind.
In an instant, endless wisdom entered Irene's brain...
Irene, like Elefseria, was a Dragon Slayer Mage who used wisdom as her source of power.
In other words, the wisdom within Elefseria's heart could directly increase Irene's strength! This was something other dragons could not accomplish...
"This woman has become even stronger!"
As the wisdom within Elefseria's heart entered Irene's brain, whether it was Selene, Ignia, or Acnologia, their spirits all shook. They looked at Irene with hints of shock in their eyes!
Among them, Selene was especially shocked!
"I might no longer be this woman's opponent."
"Damn, I didn't expect that not only Evan, but even this woman Irene's rate of improvement would be so fast?!"
Selene felt a sense of urgency inwardly. One had to know...
When Selene had first met Evan, within the enormous Fairy Tail guild, the only person who could fight her was Irene!
As time passed, Magic King August, the father-and-son pair Igneel and Ignia, Black Wizard Zeref, and Black Dragon King Acnologia made their powerful appearances. Her position within the Fairy Tail guild kept dropping!
In the blink of an eye, she was no longer the most special existence within the Fairy Tail guild.
Among them, she watched as Evan, who back then was still a little bean-sized brat who could only rely on her and Irene, rapidly increased his strength and had now reached the level of the strongest Dragon King...
Besides that, now even this woman Irene had unknowingly risen to a level that left her unable to catch up.
"Looks like I have to train harder!"
For a moment, Selene clenched her fists. She silently bit her tender lips and decided that from now on, she would put more effort into training, striving to catch up with Evan and Irene as soon as possible!
Although Selene's magic power cultivation had already reached the point where she could advance no further, the Haki and physical techniques she had learned from Evan still had enormous potential! Because Selene had never cultivated these two techniques before...
"Since we've already obtained Elefseria's heart, we won't disturb you any longer, Dogramag. However, I hope you can remember your promise to us. Otherwise, when the time comes, it won't be as simple as death. Dogramag, at our level, you should know what I mean..."
Evan smiled at 'Earth Dragon God' Dogramag as he spoke.
"Tsk~"
Upon hearing this, Dogramag tilted his head and said nothing, but obviously, he understood what Evan meant.
"Heh heh..."
At this, Evan merely smiled lightly. He completely did not care about Dogramag's attitude because the system had already given Evan a prompt.
The information on 'Earth Dragon God' Dogramag was also corrected to... Under Evan's efforts, he had already understood his own shortcomings and chosen to self-seal himself within the labyrinth he had created.
"By the way, your labyrinth cannot continue expanding. I don't need to say anything more about this, right?"
Evan looked at the system prompt and nodded in satisfaction, then reminded Dogramag, who was collapsed on the ground.
"Got it!" Dogramag agreed aloud, while inwardly complaining: "You already said it out loud! Why are you saying there's no need to say anything more? You're driving me crazy..."
"Heh heh~"
Evan merely smiled lightly at this.
"Alright! Let's go back and report to Elefseria!"
Evan looked at Irene, Selene, and the others beside him and spoke.
"Okay!"
Irene lightly nodded. With a wave of her hand, a huge teleportation passage directly appeared within Dogramag's labyrinth.
"Oh?!"
Dogramag frowned as he looked at Irene's teleportation passage. Normally speaking, long-distance teleportation magic should be impossible to use within his labyrinth, and being able to use such long-distance teleportation magic could only mean one thing: Irene's strength was far above his.
"Heh heh..."
Thinking of this, Dogramag chuckled. First he had been killed by Elefseria, and afterward he encountered a group of Dragon Slayer Mages he could not defeat. Sure enough, he was the weakest Dragon God!
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
Just as Dogramag was mocking himself, Evan seemed to remember something else.
"Uh, go ahead."
Although Dogramag was somewhat impatient, intimidated by Evan's authority, he could only look at Evan and speak.
After all, Evan had not given him the right to refuse to listen!
"Dogramag, some of our guild companions, as well as some of Diabolos's people, are currently having a competition inside the Great Labyrinth. You don't need to pay attention to them. Once they get tired of fighting, they'll leave on their own~"
Regarding the battle between Fairy Tail and Diabolos, Evan still gave Dogramag a heads-up beforehand.
"Fine!"
Although Dogramag was impatient, he still nodded.
"Very good~"
Seeing that Dogramag understood what he meant, Evan lightly nodded with a smile.
"Then, everyone..."
"It's time for us to retreat~"
As Evan spoke, he smiled lightly and walked into the long-distance teleportation gate.
"Goodbye, Dogramag~"
Before leaving, Ignia even said goodbye to Dogramag.
"Get lost!"
At this, Dogramag shouted furiously.
"Heh heh~"
Ignia merely smiled lightly as he looked at the enraged Dogramag.
"Hurry up and get lost! You're not welcome here!"
Dogramag roared angrily. He sat gloomily inside his palace. His belly was currently filled with rage, but he had nowhere to vent it.
As for the many Mages of the Fairy Tail guild and Diabolos's Dragon Eaters, they were still causing trouble throughout the labyrinth! At this moment, neither Diabolos nor Fairy Tail knew that Elefseria's heart had already been taken away by Evan and the others. From the very beginning, the outcome of their struggle had already been decided!
That's right, from the very beginning Evan had never intended to let Diabolos escape Fairy Tail's devouring...
As time passed, Evan believed that in the near future, Diabolos's Mages would completely become Fairy Tail members... Evan believed that as long as one became a Fairy Tail person for one day, one would be a Fairy Tail person for life!
On the other side...
As the spatial gate opened, Evan and the others directly appeared in the Mage Guild, Magic Circle Dragon, the original Mage Guild of the Earth-land world.
At this moment, within the Mage Guild Magic Circle Dragon, Elefseria was in his original human form, leisurely enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea! When he saw the teleportation gate inside the room, he directly froze in place.
"You're back?!"
At this moment, Elefseria, who was sitting in Magic Circle Dragon drinking tea, looked at Evan and the others returning, his eyes filled with surprise. He had originally thought that it would take Evan and the others at least a year or two to eliminate the Dragon Gods this time, yet how much time had actually passed? Evan and the others had already returned?!
"Other than the Gold Dragon God Viernes, whose existence is uncertain, all the other Dragon Gods, including the resurrected Dogramag, have already been dealt with by us~"
The moment Evan saw Elefseria, he told him about the outcome of their battle.
"You mean... including Water Dragon God Mercphobia, Earth Dragon God Dogramag, and Wood Dragon God Aldoron, the three Dragon Gods have all been defeated by you?!"
Elefseria still found this unbelievable. Although he knew Evan had not deceived him, he still could not believe that what Evan said was true. After all, this was something that had troubled him for more than a hundred years without being resolved, yet Evan and the others had easily dealt with it. This made it somewhat difficult for him to accept.
"Phew..."
After a brief moment of shock, Elefseria let out a long breath, and his eyes became moist.
"Yes! With the help of Fire Dragon God Ignia, Moon Dragon God Selene, Black Dragon King Acnologia, and Dragon Slayer Mother Irene, it was only natural that defeating those few Dragon Gods would be possible!"
Elefseria sighed emotionally. Even if Aldoron, Mercphobia, and Dogramag appeared together, they absolutely would not be opponents for Ignia, Selene, Acnologia, Irene, and Evan. Therefore, eliminating the Dragon Gods was never difficult for Evan and the others in the first place.
"To be precise, we didn't kill all those Dragon Gods! Earth Dragon God Dogramag swore that he would never step out of the labyrinth for the rest of his life! Water Dragon God Mercphobia gave his power to me, and then Irene enchanted her with the attributes of a human. The current Water Dragon God has already become an ordinary human. As for Wood Dragon God Aldoron, he was completely killed by us..."
Evan told Elefseria about the situations of Earth Dragon God, Water Dragon God, and Wood Dragon God.
"That is enough! The war between humans and dragons has gone on for too long. It is time for it to end!"
Elefseria's expression became serious. After Irene told him about that world where humans and dragons lived together harmoniously, he had thought for a long time and was no longer as extremely determined to eliminate the dragons in the world.
"Then, Elefseria, it's time for you to announce it, right?!"
Evan looked at Elefseria's serious expression and asked with a smile.
"Mm!"
"Then I hereby announce that the Fairy Tail Mage Guild Mages Evan Belserion, Irene Belserion, Ignia, Selene, and Acnologia, the five of you! Have successfully completed the Hundred Years Quest and sealed the Five Dragon Gods who endangered Northern Continent, Guiltina! Congratulations to all of you. You are the only Mages in more than a hundred years to complete this quest! You will become legends, recorded in epics. You are legends!"
Elefseria held his staff and spoke loudly to Evan, to Irene, to the Dragon Gods Selene and Ignia whom he had previously been hostile toward, and also to Acnologia, the hero who had fought against dragons four hundred years ago.
"Old man, I sincerely thank all of you for your help!"
As Elefseria spoke, he slightly bowed toward Evan and the others in gratitude.
"No need to thank me!"
Evan lightly shook his head at Elefseria,
At the same time, in his mind, the Hundred Years Quest column changed from In Progress to Completed!
"Extract the reward!"
Evan did not waste words and directly extracted the system's reward.
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the Hundred Years Quest. You have obtained one Hundred Years Quest Medal!]
At once, the system's notification sounded in Evan's mind.
"Give me the points!"
Looking at the system's notification in his mind, Evan did not waste words and directly added the Hundred Years Quest Medal he had obtained to his Devil Fruit, the Fish-Fish Fruit!
At once, Evan's Fish-Fish Fruit column was corrected, changing from the original Level 16 to (Dragon Slayer) Zoan-Type·Fish-Fish Fruit·Mythical Beast Model: Azure Dragon Form: LV17 (+)
That's right, Evan's strength directly increased to Level 17. At this moment, Evan had already opened up a two-level gap from the Level 15 where the Dragon Kings were located!
"Boom!!"
Boundless fluctuations of power were released from Evan's body. The terrifying pressure caused Ignia, Elefseria, Selene, and even Acnologia beside him to tense inwardly.
"What powerful strength!"
"If there really are gods in this world, I'm afraid they are no more than this, right?!"
Elefseria and Ignia's group looked at one another, simultaneously feeling shocked by the power within Evan's body.
Although Ignia and the others were given the name Dragon Gods and claimed to possess power comparable to true gods, they were ultimately not gods! Yet the current Evan gave them the feeling of being a genuine god, as if he were a god walking among mortals! A god among men...
"Evan has become stronger again."
Irene looked at Evan, who had become stronger, with an incomparably gentle gaze.
The stronger Evan became, the more at ease Irene would feel, and at the same time, the happier she would be.
Because this meant that even without needing her protection, Evan could still live very well...
"Is this the power of Level 17? It feels like one punch would be enough to cripple an existence at the Dragon God or Dragon King level..."
"Can I completely call myself a Dragon God now?"
At this moment, Evan felt the tremendous power within his body and revealed a smile.
That's right, if only strength were considered, Evan could completely claim to be a god at this moment!
No, even among gods, not every one of them could reach Evan's level. There were even many gods whose strength was inferior to existences at the Dragon God or Dragon King level. Evan's current strength would be considered among the stronger ones even among gods.
However...
As Evan's Dragon Slayer Magic reached Level 17, the magic power within his body, which had reached the pinnacle of Level 15, once again became insufficient.
"Sigh..."
Thinking of this, Evan helplessly sighed.
He had finally gotten rid of being a one-punch man, only to become a one-punch man again in the blink of an eye!
"Looks like I still have to find a way to increase my amount of magic power. The road ahead is long!"
At this, Evan sighed emotionally once again.
"Hm?!"
After sighing emotionally for a while, Evan turned around and looked at Irene and the others. At this moment, aside from Irene, both Selene and Ignia were looking at Evan with expressions as though they were looking at a monster.
"Why are all of you looking at me with that kind of expression?"
Feeling everyone's gazes, Evan immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Evan, you bastard, you've become stronger again?"
Ignia looked Evan up and down before finally being unable to hold back and asking Evan.
"Yeah, I've become stronger again."
Evan answered honestly.
After all, there was no way to hide the fact that he had become stronger. Everyone should have sensed the aura released from his body...
"Does this bastard really have no limit?"
Ignia helplessly sighed and asked Evan.
"Limit? What's that?"
Evan raised his eyebrows. With the system, he had never known what a limit was?!
"Evan, please tell me, how did you become this powerful?"
At this moment, Elefseria also could not sit still. With a hint of seriousness in his eyes, he asked Evan.
"My current strength was all obtained through my day-and-night efforts!"
Upon hearing Elefseria's question, Evan answered without hesitation.
"Day-and-night efforts?"
"Looks like you put in unimaginable effort to obtain your current strength, Evan!"
Upon hearing this, Elefseria sighed emotionally. Sure enough, there were no geniuses in this world. A genius was merely one person after another who constantly put in effort.
"That's right!"
Upon hearing Elefseria's words, Evan nodded forcefully. Who knew how much effort he had put in to obtain his current strength?!
Thinking this, Evan opened his system panel and checked where he was still lacking and how many quest medals he needed before he could continue adding points...
Geniuses need hard work, but cheat users don't!
"By the way, Elefseria, here, take this back!"
Just as Elefseria was looking at Evan with emotion, Irene seemed to remember something. She threw the Elefseria's heart she had obtained from Dogramag back to Elefseria.
"Hm? This is... my heart?"
Elefseria looked at the thing thrown over from Irene's hand, and a trace of disbelief flashed through his eyes.
But as Elefseria remembered that Evan and the others had already used force to persuade Dogramag, he suddenly understood!
That's right, since Dogramag had already surrendered, his heart naturally became the spoils of war of Evan and the others!
"Thank you, Teacher Irene!"
Elefseria was excited inwardly. Holding the heart in his hands, he bowed deeply toward Irene, then activated Fusion Magic.
The heart in Elefseria's hands lit up with a burst of light before completely merging with his body!
"This is!"
After Elefseria fused with the heart, a look of disbelief flashed across his expression, and his brain roared.
"What happened?"
Seeing Elefseria's drastically changed expression, Evan and the others were all stunned, then asked.
"I... I still haven't remembered the knowledge I had forgotten in the past!"
Elefseria looked at the shocked group and smiled awkwardly.
"Uh..."
Upon hearing this, Evan and the others were all somewhat speechless.
"It doesn't matter anymore. After all, the Dragon Gods have already been sealed. Whether you remember the things from before or forget the things from before, it won't affect anything."
Evan looked at Elefseria and spoke softly.
"That's true..."
Upon hearing this, Elefseria scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
Although he had forgotten all the knowledge, fortunately, his heart had returned. If he spent another hundred years or so, he should eventually be able to relearn all the knowledge he had forgotten, although it would be somewhat lengthy...
"If that's the case, then the matter of Northern Continent, Guiltina, can be brought to an end! Next..."
Evan ignored Elefseria making a fuss over nothing and instead began thinking about other matters.
At the same time, the Alchemist Guild Gold Owl.
"This is troublesome!"
Elefseria's star pupil, the creator of Athena in the Earth-land world, or rather, the one who awakened her, Duke Barbaroa, had a forehead covered in anxious sweat at this moment.
"Guild Master, has something happened?"
Behind Duke Barbaroa were the members of Gold Owl. Among them, the two beauties with sexy figures and wearing formal dresses were especially powerful. The immense magic power contained within the bodies of these two was even comparable to Fairy Tail's group of S-Class Mages. If the two of them were not alchemists but Mages, then perhaps Misaki would not be the number-one female Mage of the continent of Guiltina.
"Athena is in trouble!"
Duke Barbaroa looked at the two beauties behind him and spoke helplessly.
"Athena actually ran into trouble? That's quite unexpected! Do you need the two of us sisters to go rescue Athena?"
After hearing Duke Barbaroa's words, the two beauties were first stunned, then asked Duke Barbaroa.
"No! This is not something the two of you can resolve! Because the man who attacked Athena... is that legendary Black Wizard Zeref Dragneel!"
Duke Barbaroa helplessly looked at the two beauties behind him as he spoke.
Looking across the entire Earth-land world, the only person Zeref could not defeat was Black Dragon King Acnologia, who was nearly completely magic immune! But the only person Zeref could not defeat was Acnologia. After all, the other Dragon Gods or Dragon Kings in this world were not completely magic immune. When facing an immortal Black Wizard, no matter who it was, they would eventually be defeated!
It could be said without exaggeration that if Zeref wanted to, he could complete the Hundred Years Quest alone by spending some time. After all, Zeref could not die, but the Dragon Gods could...
"That Black Wizard cursed by Ankhseram?"
The two beauties, whose appearances were somewhat similar, were both shocked upon hearing Duke Barbaroa's words. Obviously, they knew Zeref's strength.
"So, Guild Master, how should we handle Athena's situation? With the strength of the two of us sisters, we have no confidence in dealing with that monster. To put it bluntly, that is an existence even more difficult to deal with than a Dragon God..."
These two beauties were precisely the Signario Sisters, the second-in-command figures of Gold Owl that August had investigated. At this moment, the two sisters looked at each other before softly asking Duke Barbaroa, the Guild Master of the Alchemist Guild Gold Owl.
"Heh heh! Among the countless worlds I have observed, there is one world with an old saying: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never look down on a poor youth! Although we have no way to deal with Black Wizard Zeref right now, the future may be different! Besides, our original plan was to begin nearly ten years from now! There's no need to rush, no need to rush... Let's just see what exactly Zeref intends to do with Athena!"
Duke Barbaroa put his hands behind his back and looked profoundly mysterious. While persuading the Signario Sisters behind him, he was also persuading himself. However, how much of it was true and how much was false was probably something only Duke Barbaroa himself knew?!
"With Guild Master Duke's age, you can't really be called a youth, right? So it should be 'never look down on a poor middle-aged man,' right?"
One of the Signario Sisters, the younger sister with bangs, Rousseau Signario, asked Duke Barbaroa.
"Uh, you're focusing on the wrong part, aren't you?"
At this, Duke Barbaroa was somewhat speechless.
"No, no, no. Given the Guild Master's age, 'middle-aged' isn't very appropriate either. It should be 'never look down on a poor old man'!"
At this moment, the elder sister, Ennie Signario, interrupted her younger sister and chimed in.
"..."
For a moment, Duke Barbaroa no longer knew what to say.
"Athena, rest assured! One day I will take you back from the evil Zeref's hands! One day..."
At this, Duke Barbaroa could only secretly encourage himself.
Perhaps Duke Barbaroa himself never imagined that this one day would last an entire lifetime!
We can already fast-forward to the grave robber's tears.
Just as Northern Continent, Guiltina, was busy with the sealing of the Five Dragon Gods, the strongest weapon of the Alchemist Guild Gold Owl, the anti-Dragon God weapon Athena, going missing, the White Mage Cult being forced to disband, and the Magic Council of Northern Continent, Guiltina, being overwhelmed and severely short-staffed, a major event shocking the entire continent was also taking place on Ishgar!
One of the strongest countries on Ishgar, the permanently neutral Kingdom of Fiore, announced through its king, Toma E. Fiore, that it would hold the first Grand Magic Games at the end of June to the beginning of July this year!
Because this was the first Grand Magic Games, Toma E. Fiore would not only summon powerful Mages from across the entire continent, but would also invite the Magic Council, as well as the monsters ranked among the Ten Wizard Saints, to attend the event as guests!
Furthermore, Toma E. Fiore announced that the winner of the Grand Magic Games would receive the title of the second-strongest Mage Guild on Ishgar! Following Toma E. Fiore's announcement, the entire continent of Ishgar erupted into an uproar...
At the same time, a doubt arose in the hearts of all the Mages across the continent: Why could the winner of the Grand Magic Games only receive the title of the second-strongest Mage Guild on Ishgar, rather than the title of the strongest Mage Guild on Ishgar?!
This was a question that made all the Mages across the continent extremely puzzled...
However, regardless of anything else, the Mages of the entire continent of Ishgar were all shaken! Everyone fell into madness...
"The second-strongest Mage Guild on Ishgar?"
"No matter what! This is a moment sufficient to make our guild famous throughout the continent! Everyone, the championship is waving at us!"
Within countless Mage Guilds, one Mage after another roared as though they had been injected with stimulants.
At the same time, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, City of Flowers Crocus, within the royal palace...
On the lofty throne, old Toma, the King of the Kingdom of Fiore, was bored as he looked at the promotional brochure in his hands. How should one put it? Because the Fairy Tail guild was currently training in Northern Continent, Guiltina, the main members of Fairy Tail would not participate in this year's competition. As for the Fairy Tail members remaining in Magnolia, they were all unmotivated middle-aged men, so they probably would not participate in this year's Grand Magic Games either. This made old Toma feel that the Grand Magic Games he had been yearning for all these years was somewhat boring...
A competition without the Fairy Tail guild participating would not have a very high level...
"Your Majesty, may I ask why the winner of the Grand Magic Games can only receive the title of the second-strongest guild on Ishgar? May I ask which guild this strongest guild is?"
Below the throne, the First Minister of the Kingdom looked at old Toma on the throne in confusion and asked.
"Isn't that a stupid question? The number-one Mage Guild on Ishgar is of course... Fairy Tail!"
Old Toma really had not expected that there would still be someone in this world who would ask such a stupid question!
At this, old Toma stood up, turned his butt toward the other party, and took off his sexy King's Pants, revealing his snow-white buttocks, as well as the emblem branded onto his butt, symbolizing the Fairy Tail Mage Guild!
"Eh?!"
At this, whether it was the Kingdom's minister, the general, or even the captain of the Kingdom's Knights, all of them were attracted by old Toma's butt and widened their eyes at it.
