The war between Fairy Tail and Tartaros had erupted on this uninhabited wasteland, and from the start, it had developed into the most intense state.
Especially the battles between the main forces and the Nine Demon Gates, each one was more lively than the last.
And after fighting Fairy Tail's mages, the demons of the Nine Demon Gates realized just how powerful the humans they had always looked down on were.
Therefore, they had been forced to activate their Etherious Forms one after another. Although everyone felt great pressure because of this and fell into a certain degree of hard battle, they had indeed grasped the trajectory of victory.
But Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel suddenly had a palpitation during the battle, and were almost taken advantage of by their opponents!
Although they quickly adjusted their respective states, that feeling made them involuntarily recall the nightmarish memories from seven years ago.
And in Drake's vision, a black line was approaching this side in the distant sky, bringing a suffocating darkness.
That was of course not a real scene, but what he saw in his magic power vision. A being with incredibly powerful and incredibly dark magic power was approaching.
And the only one on the entire continent with such power was the Black Wing, the Dragon Slayer who had been crowned the Dragon King, Acnologia.
Drake took a deep breath, and his memories returned to Tenrou Island seven years ago.
At that time, like this time, Drake had known long ago that Acnologia would appear, so he had blocked him alone.
At that time, Drake had actually thought a lot. On the one hand, Drake was afraid that there would be an accident. If he couldn't complete Fairy Sphere, no one would be able to escape Acnologia's attack.
On the other hand, Drake didn't want to waste seven years inside the Fairy Sphere.
But it couldn't be denied that a large part of the reason why Drake hadn't chosen to hide in the Fairy Sphere together at that time was that Drake wanted to personally witness the strength of that Dragon King.
Of course, Drake was very clear-headed at that time, and didn't think that he had the possibility of defeating Acnologia, so he had prepared World Magic in advance.
But it had to be said that Drake had been a bit cocky at that time, thinking that stalling for time shouldn't be a problem.
In the end, he had still managed to escape successfully because Acnologia hadn't taken him seriously at all.
To be honest, Acnologia's power had left a shadow on Drake for a long time after that.
And Drake's method of overcoming this shadow was to constantly remind himself that Acnologia was an enemy that he had to defeat.
So Acnologia's power had instead become the motivation for Drake's efforts, and now it was time to verify the results of Drake's efforts.
After the battle just now, Mard didn't think that he could defeat Drake, so he hadn't taken the opportunity to attack while Drake was distracted. Instead, he had released his Etherious Form.
And at first, he had also been wondering what had made Drake give up fighting him, but after a while, he knew, because he had also felt that magic power that was like a heavy night.
"Acnologia!!!"
As a life created by Zeref, Mard naturally knew what a complex relationship that black dragon had with his creator.
Of course, he also knew how terrifying Acnologia was.
Although he didn't know why the Black Wing had appeared here, it seemed that Drake was ready to fight him. He didn't doubt that if he went up to make trouble now, Drake would directly crush him without hesitation.
Drake was indeed thinking this way, but if Mard could honestly stay on the side, Drake wouldn't waste magic power on him.
Finally, Acnologia's figure truly appeared in Drake's vision.
The black body covered with ominous purple texture, the black wings that dragons didn't have, Acnologia's appearance hadn't changed at all since their last meeting.
But Drake wasn't the same as he had been seven years ago!
His heart was beating rapidly, and Dragon Flame Armor, Dragon King Martial Body, Ring of the Nibelungen, and other abilities were all activated. The skill effects of Dragon Slayer and Fighting Spirit also began to take effect.
Facing Acnologia, Drake was truly going all out.
"I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself to you seven years ago. Even if I did, you probably wouldn't remember my name, but this time I'll make you remember it even in hell."
Dragonification reached its peak state from the start. In an instant, Drake seemed to have turned into a small dragon covered in flame armor.
"Flame Dragon King's... Sword Horn!"
Everyone on the battlefield was still shocked by Acnologia's arrival, when they saw a fire meteor streak across the sky and directly crash into Acnologia.
In fact, Drake wasn't the only one who had a psychological shadow of Acnologia. Who among the Tenrou Team wasn't afraid of this world's most terrifying monster?
But everyone was shocked to see that Acnologia had actually been knocked back, rolling away.
"Dragon... Dragon... You're also an existence that should be destroyed!"
Drake's eyes, which had turned into vertical pupils, released flames, and he said, "Is your consciousness still in a chaotic state? Don't blame me for taking advantage of you!"
Saying this, Drake, propelled by flames, chased after Acnologia again.
As Drake had said, after Acnologia had transformed into a black dragon, the emotions and reason that belonged to humans, which had already been devoured by hatred, had been eroded by the power of the dragon.
The Dragon King was actually a monster driven by hatred and the desire for destruction. It had to be said that it was a tragic and terrifying thing.
And facing Drake, who was no different from a dragon in terms of power and appearance, Acnologia also erupted with terrifying killing intent and magic power.
After a roar that caused the clouds to collapse, Acnologia also pounced towards Drake.
Dodging the giant claws covered in black scales, Drake came in front of Acnologia, crossed his fingers and clasped his fists, and then slammed them down heavily.
After a loud bang like a hammer striking iron during forging, Acnologia's head was hammered down violently.
Drake couldn't help but click his tongue. As expected of the Dragon King who had exterminated dragons, his defense alone made people not know how to fight him.
The Diamond Dragon that Drake had fought before was already at the top of the dragon race in terms of defense, but compared to the Black Dragon, his scales were fragile.
The last time he had fought Acnologia, Drake had tried his best and had only managed to make him hurt, but this time it was different. The attack just now had indeed worked!
"Detestable dragon, I will destroy you! Destroy! Destroy!"
Acnologia, who had raised his head, was still rambling. Drake flapped his wings behind him and flew upwards.
And Acnologia followed closely and flew over as well.
"Detestable dragon, don't think you can escape!"
Drake passed through the clouds, suspended above the sea of clouds, looking directly at Acnologia, who had caught up.
"I didn't want to escape, but only here can I use my full power with peace of mind! Come on, let's start the real slaughter! I'm already fired up!"
