The crowd was stunned, then Explosion into cheers and laughter. This was the first Evil Dragon they had seen destroyed; it turned out these creatures were not immortal.
That female Mage specializing in Enchantment Magic was too powerful. They had never heard of her, yet she was this strong, far surpassing the level of the Four Gods of Ishgar.
"How dare you mock the great Dragon King!"
The Snow Dragon King was furious. Forcing its wings to beat, it flew into the sky despite the Ultimate Augmentation of Gravity, savagely swiping its claw. He intended to make this woman pay.
"Dragon King? You are unworthy!"
Irene's expression was cold. Besides Acnologia, no other dragon was worthy of being called Dragon King.
"Enchantment: Explosion!"
Her figure flickered, easily evading the Dragon Claw. Raising her hand, she cast an Atmospheric Enchantment, turning half the sky fiery red and blasting the Snow Dragon King away.
Immediately afterward, its Dragon Scales exploded, and flames shot up into the sky, engulfing it.
However, the Snow Dragon King was not seriously injured. Although the Ultimate Augmentation Magic was powerful, it could not penetrate the Dragon Body; only some of its Dragon Scales were damaged.
"Watch as I freeze this entire area!"
The Snow Dragon King erupted with terrifying power. Using itself as the center, everything its magic touched froze. The sky grew dark and gloomy, and heavy snow began to fall.
"Ultimate Augmentation: Heat Energy!"
Irene's magic Explosion forth, enchanting the entire space. Cold and heat intertwined, and the sky and earth constantly froze and melted, making it difficult to determine a winner.
Seeing this sight, everyone finally felt relieved.
This powerful female Mage possessed the strength to fight a Dragon King, so they didn't need to worry about her. They should focus on their own battles... Inside the Prison Cell, Lucy suddenly woke up from her sleep, seemingly having had a nightmare.
In that nightmare, dragons attacked and ravaged the world, the Kingdom was destroyed, her Fairy Tail comrades faced death, and she traveled to another world... She gently touched the tear stains on her cheek and murmured, "Was it a dream?"
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and it sounded as if a Giant Dragon was Roaring in the distance, making her tremble uncontrollably.
"Let me out! Is anyone there? Is anyone there?!"
Lucy ran to the Cell door, grabbed the iron bars, shook them desperately, and shouted loudly.
However, ten minutes passed without any response. Her voice gradually became hoarse, filled with helplessness and despair.
She squatted on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably: "Someone help me! What is happening outside?"
A strong sense of foreboding filled her heart, making her feel suffocated... "Lucy?" Suddenly, a voice called out from afar.
"Someone?"
Lucy paused slightly. Was it a hallucination?
Suddenly, a figure rushed to the Cell door and shouted excitedly, "Lucy, why weren't you answering? Good thing my nose is sharp."
Lucy widened her eyes and said happily, "Natsu, you came to save me."
Natsu swore confidently, "Of course! We promised you!"
He grabbed the Iron Chain with both hands, melted it with fire, and then kicked the Cell door open.
"Come with me! They need you outside to close the Eclipse Gate."
Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and rushed outside anxiously, moving so fast that Lucy was practically floating.
"The Eclipse Gate?"
Lucy's heart skipped a beat. Could that dream be... "Only you and Yukino can close the Eclipse Gate. Happy and Lucy have already gone to find Yukino and the celestial spirit key."
"Huh? Aren't I right here?"
"How should I put this? The future you came to our world for help, so our Fire Dragon Squad came to assist you. That's the Lucy from our world; you are Number Two Lucy!"
"I'm Number Two?"
Lucy was dizzy and confused. What was this 'you' and 'us' talk? She felt like she couldn't understand anything.
Sure enough, Natsu was Natsu; his ability to express himself was still severely lacking.
However... one thing she understood: the situation was extremely urgent, and they needed to race against time... On the other side, Happy carried Lucy, turning into a Streak of Light, rushing along, and quickly found their target.
At this moment, Princess Hisui was gathering soldiers outside the city. Seeing Happy and Lucy, a trace of surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly said, "Miss Lucy, I am very sorry for taking your celestial spirit key earlier..."
Lucy didn't have time to listen to her and interrupted directly: "No need for further words. Hand over the zodiac key to me now, and have Yukino come with me to close the Eclipse Gate."
"Alright!"
Princess Hisui handed the celestial spirit key to Lucy and bowed apologetically, "Miss Lucy, please!"
Lucy's expression was firm: "Leave it to me!"
Yukino also ran over: "Lady Lucy!"
"Come with me!"
"Mhm!"
Happy grabbed Lucy, flapped his wings, and flew back as a Streak of Light, while Yukino summoned the Pisces Celestial Spirit and flew away sitting on the Flying Fish... In front of the Eclipse Gate, the scene was already crimson, with blood flowing like a river. Acnologia had completely turned into a bloody figure—though this was all the blood of the Evil Dragons.
As soon as an Evil Dragon showed its head, he would smash one to death. By a rough count, he had already slaughtered nearly fifty dragons.
Suddenly, Natsu arrived with Number Two Lucy. Seeing this scene, they were both terrified. The ground was covered in minced meat and fresh blood; it was a slaughterhouse.
"So much blood!"
Number Two Lucy almost threw up. What exactly happened here?
Just then, Happy returned with Lucy and Yukino. They reacted the same way as Number Two Lucy, and the three women nearly vomited facing each other.
Number Two Lucy looked at Lucy, filled with shock: "Y-y-you... What is going on?"
Could this be the future Natsu spoke of, or a Parallel World version of herself?
Lucy handed the celestial spirit key to her and said urgently, "I am from another world. Now I need you and Yukino to close the gate!"
"Alright!"
Number Two Lucy took the celestial spirit key, looked at Yukino, and the two nodded at each other, simultaneously tossing the keys into the air, where they Explosion into dazzling light.
It was the same process: twelve zodiac keys formed a circle in the sky, their dazzling gold light illuminating the entire heavens!
Lucy and Yukino clasped their hands together and chanted loudly. The Zodiac Celestial Spirits appeared sequentially, turning into twelve Streaks of Light that arrived on either side of the Eclipse Gate, pushing the door with all their might.
With a rumbling sound, the Eclipse Gate slowly closed.
"The gate is closed!"
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Natsu pointed at the layer of blood and flesh covering the ground and asked curiously, "Is all this the blood and flesh of dragons?"
"Is there anything else besides dragons?"
Acnologia shook the blood from his hair and strode toward the distant Battlefield: "I'm all sticky. I'm going to deal with the other Evil Dragons. You guys wait here first."
The two Lucys said in unison, "I'll go too!"
Their comrades were fighting; how could they just rest here?
Happy raised his paw: "Me too!"
Natsu followed eagerly: "This world has seven more years of training than us, yet they still can't slay dragons. I'm going to see just how weak that guy is."
"What do you mean'seven more years of training'? They were Sealed for seven years. They're at the same level as you."
"Well, he still lived seven years longer than me! I feel like he's not as good as me!"
"You really are a Big Brain!"
"Thanks, I've always been smart."
