Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel
Chapter 721: SFDI - 721
Chapter 721: SFDI: Chapter 721
Philan City vanished that day, leaving behind only a saltwater lake formed by the inrush of seawater.
This was, of course, not caused by the battle between Drake and the Gold Dragon God, but by Drake’s subsequent "cleaning up" of the battlefield, which had forcibly blasted it out!
This couldn’t be blamed on Drake’s cautious nature. Anyone who saw the Gold Dragon God’s state would suspect that even a single fragment might offer a chance for resurrection.
Coupled with the Gold Dragon God’s conceptualized power, Drake felt uneasy even after achieving this much.
Meanwhile, while Drake and his group were eliminating the Gold Dragon God, another team from Fairy Tail, led by Laxus and Mirajane, successfully defeated the Wood Dragon God.
The Wood Dragon God controlled the power of life. Over the past hundred years, he had been the largest in size among his kin and had continued to grow, even building five cities on his body to sustain nearly 300,000 people.
By absorbing the essence and life force of generations of inhabitants, the Wood Dragon God’s power, which controlled life force, continuously grew.
This growth even surpassed the Wood Dragon God’s own control. However, unlike the Water Dragon God, the Wood Dragon God avoided going berserk by creating cores and clones.
But as a result, the Wood Dragon God entered a sealed state!
In the original story, everyone was deceived by Faris, who had traveled from another parallel world, leading them to destroy the core of the seal and release the Wood Dragon God.
However, such a thing would not happen this time.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely smooth sailing. Sensing danger, the Wood Dragon God voluntarily awakened.
But with the assistance of the Dragon Eaters, Sasuke used Susanoo to withstand the Wood Dragon God’s true form, while Laxus and the others successfully defeated the Wood Dragon God’s five avatars, ultimately defeating the Wood Dragon God.
With this, only the final Dragon God, Ignia, remained.
Although Drake was worried if any unforeseen problems would arise with the Wood Dragon God, there was no time for further arrangements.
According to intelligence, the Alvarez Empire’s fleet had already approached the coast of Guiltina.
Simultaneously, Ignia also began his own actions.
After the monitoring magic detected a pillar of fire erupting from the City of Fire God, Drake could clearly sense the changes occurring on the continent of Guiltina.
Selene sent a communication; a small mountain composed of magic ore had appeared in her location, and under its influence, she had nearly gone berserk.
It should be said that if not for the magical tools Drake had prepared in advance, she would have certainly been driven into a state of loss of control by the activated dragon power.
Soon, Drake confirmed that the same phenomenon had occurred in Elmina, where the Water Dragon God resided.
It appeared that the fully activated Great Labyrinth of Dogramag used the Five Dragon Gods as core magic crystal hubs, thereby imposing the Dragon Transformation magic upon the entire continent.
However, the good news was that Selene and Mercphobia had maintained their sanity and had not become enemies.
But Drake’s magical tools had isolated them from the outside world, preventing them from being influenced by the Great Labyrinth of Dogramag. Therefore, they could not use their own powers, otherwise, the magical tools would immediately become ineffective, causing them to go berserk.
Although regrettable, Drake knew he couldn’t rely on their power when he created the magical tools.
The cautious approach proved effective. The Gold Dragon God did not revive, leaving a gap in the Dragon Transformation magic, which created a safe zone unaffected by the magic.
Things were not as smooth on the Wood Dragon God’s side. He had indeed completed his revival and became a target that needed to be defeated again.
However, the most important thing was that now that they knew how the Dragon Transformation magic worked, the method to counter it was also clear.
Since those magic crystal mountains were the hubs for the Dragon Transformation magic, destroying them would be enough to end Ignia’s plan.
Excellent, a very standard plot development. Everyone was familiar with this kind of straightforward progression.
So, following Mavis’s instructions, the team quickly divided their tasks and headed to different battlefields.
Drake and Stella did not go together. They traveled to the coast southwest of Guiltina, which was the landing point for the Alvarez Empire’s vanguard fleet.
Although it was only a vanguard, it was a large fleet of nearly fifty warships, carrying at least tens of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, these were not ordinary ships but magical airships flying in the sky.
After all, the Alvarez Empire was a powerful empire established by Zeref after unifying the entire western continent of Alakitasia and integrating a total of 730 guilds. Its military strength was unimaginable, far beyond what Fairy Tail could match.
As for why Drake and Stella were here, it wasn’t simply to confront these troops.
The continent of Guiltina was now covered by Dragon Transformation magic. People with weak magic power were easily influenced and transformed into mindless dragons. Only those with strong magic power and firm will could resist the erosion of the magic.
Although the transformed dragons would not be as powerful as true dragons, their strength would significantly increase.
Such opponents, if numerous, would be quite troublesome.
The population of the continent of Guiltina was already a handful, and now the Alvarez Empire had brought in tens of thousands of magic soldiers.
Even though the Dragon Transformation magic turned everyone into dragons, the strength of the transformed dragons would vary based on individual quality.
These elite magic soldiers, if transformed into dragons, would be far more formidable than ordinary residents turned into dragons.
Therefore, Drake naturally could not allow these individuals to set foot on the continent of Guiltina and cause further trouble.
Drake and Stella stood side by side, the waves constantly lapping at their feet, as they saw large numbers of warships approaching on the horizon.
The warships bore crown insignia, and the cannons extending from them proved the airships’ offensive capabilities.
On the deck of the lead airship stood a dark-skinned young man.
He had messy dark brown hair, wore a dark yellow headscarf, large red prayer bead-like earrings on both ears, and only a silk ribbon tied around his upper body.
This was Agil, the Desert King, one of the Alvarez Empire’s strongest Spriggan 12. This fleet was led by him.
Agil looked at the two tiny figures on the coast and couldn’t help but smirk disdainfully. Just as he was about to utter his usual taunt, his expression suddenly changed.
Because at that moment, he saw a pillar of fire rising into the sky.
On the coast, Drake and Stella simultaneously summoned their innate Spirit Garments, raising their great swords and long swords in an offensive stance.
"Stella, we’ve never teamed up like this before!"
Stella nodded and said, "It’s indeed our first time fighting side-by-side after so long together. What a novel experience!"
Drake smiled and said, "Then let’s make the most of it."
With that, the flames on their bodies merged into one, and even their released Conqueror’s Haki seemed to fuse together.
That’s right, Stella had also awakened Conqueror’s Haki. In fact, it would be strange if she didn’t possess such potential.
And the move they were about to use was also learned from the world of pirates.
Both of them had dealt with BIG MOM more than once and had observed and experienced her use of Ikoku up close.
Although it might not have been the authentic Spear of Elbaf, it had indeed taught them that move.
Consequently, they developed an advanced application of this move, a technique that could only be unleashed by them working together...!
"Dragon – Sea Overlord!"
The dragon-shaped shockwave, with flames as wings and black-red lightning as claws and fangs, let out a sky-shattering roar, then violently charged towards the fleet in the sky and Agil, whose face contorted in horror.
A series of explosions sounded, and the massive fleet was instantly blown to pieces. Fragments flew out like falling rain and plunged into the sea.
In a single blow, eighty percent of the fleet led by Agil was destroyed. As expected, things that fly in the sky are just mobile graveyards.
