Chapter 455 Four Magic Circles
The violent force emanated from the point where Chase's fist landed, spreading outwards in a circular pattern and tearing the ground in its path!
Due to the impact of the Grand Magic Games, residents around the central plaza have already moved out of their dilapidated houses and have been temporarily relocated to other places, so there is no need to worry about any possible accidental injuries.
This is precisely the reason why Chase chose this place as the location for capturing dragons—the Dark Mage's apprentice deliberately shot down the Earth Mother Dragon Mathergraia here.
A dark golden storm exploded on the spot, and Mathergraia was caught off guard by the sudden, close-range punch.
As Chase violently swung the sealed man's right wrist, blood splattered and several dragon teeth flew out. The dragon's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into several buildings and slamming heavily into the dusty ruins!
Chase withdrew his fist and landed calmly, his eyes gleaming as he watched the huge black shadow slowly rise from the rubble, showing no intention of pressing his advantage.
In the original story, the Earth Mother Dragon Mathergraia was able to withstand the roar of the Infernal Dragon Atlasfrem, its scales were indestructible, giving it extremely strong defensive capabilities.
The sensation transmitted through the fist clearly confirmed this.
Therefore, the attack just now was merely a "greeting".
With that thought, Chase flicked two cards from his fingertips, and the Chaos Black Magician and the Silent Magician were summoned from the rotating magic circle.
The Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl in the air also landed beside them.
"Well then, as agreed, I'll leave the task of establishing an independent battlefield to isolate our presence to you," Chess said to the four of them.
He wanted to duel Mathergraia to determine the approximate strength of the dragon from four hundred years ago, so as to make sufficient preparations for the upcoming "counterattack against the dragon horde".
In this situation where intelligence gathering is the primary focus, someone naturally needs to protect the town—but if a real fight breaks out, he won't be able to attend to too many other things.
Moreover, although it did not appear in the original work, we still have to be wary of Acnologia, the black dragon of this world.
If this thing comes over smelling the dragon, the situation will be very difficult to control!
"No problem, just leave it to the cute genius magical girl!" The dark magic girl made a cute peace sign.
The next second, the dark mage's wand struck her precisely on the head: "Hurry up."
"Oh." The dark magician girl covered her forehead and shrank back.
Not daring to look her master in the eye, she muttered something under her breath before transforming into a streak of pink light and flying into the distance.
The Dark Magician, the Chaos Dark Magician, and the Silent Magician nodded slightly to Chess, then turned and flew to the designated location.
Four magicians in robes stood at four points, the gems at the ends of their staffs shining brightly.
Whoosh whoosh!
The magic array unfolded, and four beams of light shot into the sky.
The light pillars are interconnected, creating a dazzling, semi-transparent square space that completely separates the central plaza from the surrounding area!
Inside, only Chase and Mathergraia, one person and one dragon, faced off from a distance.
Such a commotion naturally attracted all the residents and tourists living nearby.
"What... what's going on? Was that loud noise not an earthquake?"
"Hey, I'm not seeing things, am I? That's a dragon?!"
"Inside the light screen, Mr. Chess from Fairy Tail is... is fighting a dragon!"
"Damn the Grand Magic Games organizers! They didn't even tell us about such an exciting post-match program!"
"Oh, so it was just a performance?"
A group of people dressed in pajamas gathered outside, staring in awe at the enormous dragon that appeared to be nothing more than an illusion.
The "Four Magic Arrays" isolated most of the aura, so most people weren't immediately terrified and fled in panic; instead, they showed a hint of...
excited?
It's no wonder that ordinary people would react this way, given how intense this year's Grand Magic Games are.
So much so that in their fierce magical clashes, they gradually formed a consensus:
Who cares about the danger? As long as I can see a tense and exciting battle, it's worth the price of admission, even if I die!
What's more, this battle between a Saint-level 10 mage and a dragon is free!
Unfortunately, this time, these enthusiastic fans who were having a blast fighting won't be able to get up close and personal with the white figure.
The sound of steel armor rubbing and clashing came from the distant streets, and the fully armed royal guards ruthlessly drove them away from the area.
Despite the lack of verbal explanation, the unyielding and forceful methods gradually made many people realize that what was happening before them was not a drill, nor a performance, but rather—
A massive catastrophe that actually happened in Crocus!
Among the guards standing on both sides, King Thomas and Minister of Defense Dutton hurriedly arrived with the guild mages who were attending the banquet.
The moment they saw Mathergraia's enormous figure through the light screen, Jura Future, Ichiya Future, and everyone else were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, Future Rogue, and Future Sting, the five Dragon Slayer mages, were breathing heavily, their wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"A dragon? There's a dragon here?!"
After exclaiming in surprise, Natsu rushed over without even looking, and then with a crisp "thud," the idiot crashed directly into the ignored energy magic wall and fell to the ground.
The energy wall remained motionless, its surface rippling before returning to its original state.
"Natsu, calm down first." Makarov walked over slowly.
The old man raised his eyes, his solemn gaze piercing through the energy wall and landing on the Earth Mother Dragon Mathergraia opposite Chase.
Is this the real dragon that lived four hundred years ago?
That's really outrageous!
"Emerald, Arcadios, this—"
King Thomas looked at Princess Emerald and the others who had rushed out of the collapsed underground space, took two deep breaths, and tried to remain calm. "What exactly happened?"
The sudden appearance of the giant dragon in the town coincided perfectly with the opening of the Eclipse Gate, which quickly made him think of some terrible consequences that he had not noticed before!
"I...I don't know. After the gate of the eclipse opened, the dragon...the dragon came out of it—"
Princess Emerald was pale and bloodless, her lips were white, and she hung her head, at a loss.
The difference between having lofty ambitions to save the world and bringing disaster upon oneself can happen in an instant.
The harsh reality and the immense sense of loss plunged the young princess into deep confusion and regret, unsure how to explain herself to her father who trusted her.
Afterwards, Yukino Mirai walked up to Lucy and whispered, "Miss Lucy, did you all know this would happen?"
Whether it was the tense preparation before opening the door or the lightning-fast escape after it opened, the abnormal behavior of Chess and his companions before the dragon appeared could all be explained the moment the dragon appeared.
"Huh? No, no, I don't know anything!" Future Lucy shook her head guiltily.
Lucy feigned shock and fear, covering her mouth and gasping in surprise:
"Oh, how terrifying! A dragon actually came from the other side of the door!"
