Perhaps because this battlefield had gathered too many powerful mages, the entire sky had been covered by gathering dark clouds at some point.
And everyone on the battlefield could look up and see the red and black lights that occasionally lit up through the dark clouds, and everyone knew that it was produced by the fierce battle between Drake and Acnologia.
Above the dark clouds, Drake and Acnologia were fighting to the death.
Acnologia was frantically flying up and down in the air, trying to throw Drake off his back.
But Drake's fingers, which had turned into dragon claws, had deeply grasped into his scales, and he hadn't been thrown off. Drake was even thinking in the midst of his suffering that it was a good thing Acnologia hadn't been classified as a means of transportation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on.
Stabilizing his body with one hand, Drake used his other hand to clench his fist and beat on Acnologia like a drum.
Even if Acnologia's scales were harder than diamonds, even if he could defend against attacks of all attributes, he couldn't withstand this kind of bombardment.
After three punches, large cracks appeared in the scales that had been hit, and after the fourth punch landed, it directly destroyed Acnologia's defense, and the broken black scales flew out together with blood.
Acnologia let out a huge roar, and a tyrannical magic power suddenly erupted, blasting Drake away like a bomb exploding.
Drake spread the fiery wings behind him to stabilize his body, but he saw Acnologia's thick, halberd-like tail had whipped over.
The common sense that the larger the body, the more sluggish the movements seem to have failed. Drake only had time to raise his arm before being hit by the black tail, scattering the clouds and flying out like a cannonball.
A sonic boom even exploded the moment he flew out. If Drake's current body wasn't strong enough, he would probably have been torn apart the moment he was hit.
With his mind full of killing intent towards Drake, how could Acnologia stop there? Just as he was about to pursue, he saw the clouds below being reflected in red.
Before Acnologia could react, a huge pillar of fire tore through the clouds and struck Acnologia's chest head-on.
The huge force directly pushed Acnologia out, but he didn't seem to have been injured.
Drake, with blood on the corner of his mouth, flapped his wings and flew up, not being surprised that his full-power Fire Dragon's Roar had no effect.
Acnologia aimed at Drake, and also opened his mouth, and a huge black magic power gathered inside, and then was released violently.
Only someone like Acnologia, who was muddle-headed, would have braced it head-on. Drake directly accelerated his flight speed and dodged to the side.
The black beam stirred up the sea of clouds like a stick, and chased after Drake for a long time before stopping.
And Drake also took this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
"Flame God Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"
The incandescently hot flame of light and the dark red flame of destruction intertwined as Drake clasped his hands together, and were thrown towards the Black Dragon as Drake moved.
This time's Brilliant Flame wasn't as large in scale as when Drake had used it before. It was only the size of a fist, and perhaps because of this, it flew quite fast, and directly hit Acnologia's side.
But the momentum when the fireball exploded wasn't weak at all. Half of Acnologia's body was swallowed up, and he was blasted away.
Drake flew straight through the exploding flames, wanting to expand the results of the battle, but before he could see whether Acnologia was injured, he was grabbed by a dragon claw that had suddenly stretched out.
Drake propped up the closing dragon claws with his hands, and looked up to meet the gaze of the distorted dragon head that was looking over.
A cloud of white gas came out of Acnologia's large mouth, causing the flames on Drake's body to dance.
The Dragon Flame Armor that Drake's body's magic power had condensed into was making strange noises from being squeezed by the huge force, and the armor plates were rubbing against each other and beginning to deform.
Drake of course wouldn't give up like this, and immediately released even hotter flames.
Acnologia was a magic-attribute Dragon Slayer, a monster that could devour all attributes of magic power!
In other words, all magic would be blocked by his defense, but this defense also had a limit, and the power of Drake's current flames was climbing towards this limit.
Acnologia could no longer clench his hands, and the pain from being burned made him involuntarily loosen his strength.
Drake exerted force with both arms and directly propped open the claws, jumped up, stepped on Acnologia's arm, and jumped towards his head.
"Flame God Dragon's... Crushing Fist!"
As Drake's fingers clenched into a fist, the dark red flames flourished, and he punched Acnologia in the side of the face.
Acnologia's head was knocked back high, and black and purple blood splattered out. But Drake was also sent flying by the black dragon wings that had fanned over.
Drake knew that in such a close battle, whoever could reorganize their forces faster would gain the advantage, so he immediately controlled his body to regain his balance.
But in the next instant, Drake's body was hit by a huge force, and he was pressed down.
Drake didn't even have time to resist before Acnologia used his head to push him through the clouds, falling from the high sky and crashing heavily on the ground.
Drake endured the huge impact force like a piece of iron on an anvil, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of magma-like hot blood.
And Acnologia, who was pushing Drake, disappeared in the next moment. When Drake propped himself up and stood up, what he saw was a long-haired man with a dark complexion wearing a tattered cloak.
Drake used his palm to press against his chest forcefully, pushing the dislocated ribs back into the correct position.
Acnologia said with a cold face, "You bastard, who exactly are you?"
Drake grinned and said, "Looks like you're a little more sober! That's just right, remember my name. I'm Drake, the son of Igneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer, a Fairy Tail mage, and also the man who will defeat you."
Acnologia still didn't have any expression on his face, and said, "Defeat me? How ridiculous! I will end all dragons, and Dragon Slayers too!"
The two looked at each other, and then disappeared at the same time, colliding in the middle.
For dragons, their original form was the one that could unleash the strongest power, but Acnologia was a Dragon Slayer, and his human form was the fighting form he was most familiar with.
As the two exchanged punches, the darkness-like magic power and the滔天的flames also began to clash, destroying and flattening everything around them.
Drake tilted his head to dodge Acnologia's fist, and the flame armor on his shoulder was scraped and cracked, and a wound appeared on his face.
And Drake also raised his foot and kicked Acnologia in the chest, making him take several steps back.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art - Flame Dragon's Demon Severing Blade!"
Drake's palm blade fell, and a red line appeared, as if the air had been cut open by the palm blade.
Acnologia's chest cracked open, revealing the burned muscle tissue.
Drake's attack, which he had launched with almost all his strength, only had this much result, and Acnologia slapped Drake's chest, shattering the magic power armor and sending Drake flying directly.
Drake landed on the ground, and rolled away clumsily to dodge Acnologia's foot that was stepping down.
"You're really troublesome!"
Drake waved his hand to disperse the broken Dragon Flame Armor, and activated the other mode of this move. The surging, huge power made his magic power-transformed body feel like it couldn't withstand it.
To defeat Acnologia, it was impossible to be easy!
