Igneel saw Drake's expression and knew that Drake had understood, saying in a heavy tone, "Drake, do you know how Acnologia became the Black Dragon?
It wasn't because he bathed in too much dragon blood, but because he completely abandoned the gentle heart he had as a human."
Drake lowered his head. He had said before that Yuto Ijika had become an Impurity when he abandoned his humanity, but this principle had been ignored when applied to himself.
Igneel continued, "Your other magic is very magical, preventing the Dragon Seed that would turn your body into a dragon from being produced in your body.
But if your heart transforms into a dragon, sooner or later you will become the second Acnologia.
Drake, you've become stronger! But you've also developed the arrogance of the strong. The pursuit of power has also made you ignore many things.
Of course, it was also my mistake as a father to have you bear too much! Forgive me, Drake, and find your initial feelings!"
Drake was silent, recalling the experiences he had along the way.
In the Black Clover world, he would still be angry at the White Night Magic Eye for persecuting others. But now he had become much more indifferent.
Especially after losing to Acnologia, Drake more eagerly wanted power. Unknowingly, Drake had embarked on the villain's path of growth.
Raising his head, Drake looked at Igneel with incomparable seriousness, saying, "I understand! Igneel, don't worry, I will never forget what I'm fighting for!
And thank you for guiding me when I was confused! And thank you for always protecting me! Thank you so much... Dad!"
Saying this, Drake's consciousness slowly flew up, wanting to return to his real body from the mental space.
Igneel revealed his white fangs, smiling, saying, "I'm so happy to see your growth! And, I'll leave Natsu to you."
As he spoke, Igneel's body began to dissipate. And Drake also opened his eyes in reality.
The malice still wanted to break through Drake's mental defenses like a maggot attached to a bone, but the current Drake was different from before.
The reason why Drake was invaded by malice just now wasn't because his defensive measures were not up to par, but because there were indeed flaws in Drake's heart.
But now, Drake was no longer wavering.
The dragon's flames were the flames of emotion, and also the flames of will. The malice was burned to ashes in an instant by the flames that surged from Drake's body.
The magic power left by Igneel didn't disappear, but turned into Drake's power. Even more turbulent flames surged out, making the entire dark space turbulent.
Before Drake's eyes, a small crack suddenly appeared.
There was a problem with this space. Although Drake didn't know the reason, how could he let go of this opportunity?
"Igneel, lend me your power one more time!"
Drake assumed a punching stance, and flames began to compress on his fist.
"Flame Dragon King's Crushing Fist!"
Drake punched that crack, smashing the space open like smashing a mirror.
Stepping out, Drake looked at Magano, which was like a world in ruins, and took out a Magano Gate Opening Talisman.
Returning to the real world, Drake sped towards the Starfire Lodge.
...
Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio received the news and immediately returned to the Starfire Lodge.
As soon as they entered, they saw Drake sitting on the sofa.
Drake greeted, saying, "Yo, you're here! Although I just saw you, it should have been two years since you last saw me!"
That's right, after Drake returned to the Starfire Lodge, he was surprised to find that in the less than ten minutes that he had been trapped, two years had passed in the outside world.
Although he had realized long ago that the laws of time in the space he was trapped in were different, he didn't expect it to be so different.
And Drake had also heard about the events of the past two years from Zenkichi Otomi.
That day, after Drake was trapped, Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio joined forces, activating resonance for the first time, temporarily repelling Yuto Ijika.
Plus Mitejima Subaru, Tōda, and Seigen Amawaka, the three Twelve Guardians, arrived, and Yuto Ijika and Kuraun had to retreat temporarily.
But soon Yuto Ijika found Enmado Rokuro again. This time, the Twelve Guardians were summoned back to the Exorcist Union headquarters because of Yuto Ijika and Kuraun's actions, and Drake being sealed.
Even though Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio had mastered cursed power resonance, they still hadn't defeated Yuto Ijika.
And it was Kamui who had saved the two. And Adashino Benio had also obtained Impurity-transformed legs from Kamui.
Yuto Ijika had originally lost an arm to Drake, and the injuries and the cursed power he had lost in the battle had never recovered.
So he was beaten into the abyss by the two's combined attacks during the battle, and hadn't appeared again in the past two years.
Enmado Rokuro touched his head. He always felt that Drake had changed, not as unapproachable as before, but had become much gentler and kinder.
Drake smiled, saying, "I heard about your agreement with that Tsuchimikado guy. You did well!"
What Drake was talking about was that after the battle with Yuto Ijika, Tsuchimikado Arima had demanded that the two get married and have children immediately.
But Enmado Rokuro stood up and declared that he couldn't put the burden of exorcising Impurities on the children. He would end everything himself.
After making this bold statement, Tsuchimikado Arima made an agreement with Enmado Rokuro.
He would give the Twin Star Exorcists two years to become stronger. If the Twin Star Exorcists didn't show the power to end the Impurities after two years, they would have to get married and give birth to the Child of God.
And now, the agreed time was almost up. Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio were also about to become high school students.
And this point in time was also when the plot officially entered its climax.
Drake suddenly thought of the spatial crack that had appeared when he had escaped. It was also the time when a branch of the Heavenly Pillar had fallen off, turning into the girl Kozue.
Perhaps it was because of this that the dark space created by Abe no Seimei had a flaw.
But the impact of this matter wasn't just to create an opportunity for Drake to escape. The Heavenly Pillar was the hub that supported the Magano barrier. If something happened to it, it meant that the connection between Magano and reality was even closer.
This also gave Kankuro and the Impurities he led a chance to cause trouble.
Thinking of the impact caused by Kankuro's subsequent actions, Drake knew that he should also do something.
Hearing Drake's words, Enmado Rokuro was a little embarrassed, but still said, "No way, that's what I really think! I will definitely do it."
Drake smiled, saying, "That's a good ambition! But you're not mature enough, and before you, I will end everything!"
Enmado Rokuro was stunned, saying, "What does that mean?"
Drake stood up, saying, "It means what it says. Old Man Yoshiki, please contact Tsuchimikado Arima, and tell him that I have something to talk to him!
Oh, right, also have him notify the Twelve Guardians and the high-level exorcists. They should also know about this."
After saying this, Drake looked at Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio, saying, "Before those people are ready, let me see how much you've grown in the past two years."
Saying this, Drake took the lead and walked towards the training ground.
