Chapter 290: Mountain Wyvern, The Unrest
Chapter 290: Mountain Wyvern, The Unrest
The ground trembled with a thunderous roar, and a crater with a gaping mouth rose beneath the Mountain Wyvern's feet, resembling a bird perching on a cliff with its rear claws.
The trio stood at the opening of the crater, and from this unique perspective, Rod felt as if he had stepped into the Summoner Canyon rather than summoned a dragon.
He felt his mana being drained, leaving him no choice but to lean against Mira for support.
"It's... truly a dragon," Makarov raised his right arm, shielding Rod and Mira behind him. "To create a mountain so effortlessly... what incredible mana and Earth Magic!"
He had never doubted the children's words; he believed in the existence of dragons, that Natsu was indeed raised by dragons, and that Rod could summon them.
But when a colossal dragon loomed so close, the visual impact and the sense of mana overwhelmed him, leaving a profound impression.
According to the legends, four hundred years ago, humans and dragons had waged a great war. Were these powerful creatures the adversaries faced by their ancestors?
The Mountain Wyvern glanced at them and flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind that instinctively caused the group to shield their faces.
It circled above their heads before landing back in the crater.
The Mountain Wyvern stretched its body and fixed its gaze on Rod, unmoving.
The trio easily discerned the creature's perplexed expression.
Makarov and Mira were both amazed and puzzled, but Rod felt like he had just witnessed the opening animation from a first-person perspective.
Tentatively, Rod said, "Next time, can we skip some of the unnecessary stuff and speed up the entrance a bit?"
The Mountain Wyvern seemed to nod heavily in agreement.
From Rod's perspective, it appeared as if a massive stone sculpture was listening to him.
Its neck, instead of being covered in dragon scales, was adorned with stone spikes that undulated slightly with its nodding motion.
The Mountain Wyvern continued to stare at Rod, as if asking why it had been summoned.
Rod, feeling the alarming rate of mana depletion, hurriedly said, "Can we dismantle this thing?"
He was referring to the crater before them.
The Mountain Wyvern nodded again, and cracks appeared on the surrounding cliffs, followed by a thunderous rumble as they shattered and collapsed.
The ground shook once more as a result.
Rod patted Mira's hand, signaling her to let go, as he intended to approach the Mountain Wyvern.
Mira refused to release him, instead supporting him as they cautiously moved forward.
If it were the usual wild monsters, they would typically lean in when Rod reached out to touch them, allowing him to gain information about them.
However, the Mountain Wyvern was different. It squatted on the ground, observing Rod for a while, but instead of lowering its body, it flicked its tail tip for Rod to touch.
Rod felt rejected and placed his palm on the hard tail tip, which felt like stone.
In a moment of enlightenment, he received a few brief pieces of information, and Rod heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like he couldn't hold on any longer.
The Mountain Wyvern shook its head, as if shaking its mane, and the stone protrusions on its neck collided, creating a clattering sound.
Its figure became ethereal and then vanished.
Rod's body went limp, his entire weight resting on Mira.
"How are you feeling?" Mira asked with concern.
"It's just severe mana depletion, nothing serious," Rod replied, relieved that Mira had accompanied him. Otherwise, the Guild Master might have had to carry him back with his giant hand.
"How does it feel? Do you sense any loss of control?" Makarov inquired.
"The special connection is there, just like with other wild monsters," Rod said after some thought.
"But I sense a higher level of intelligence. It seemed a bit impatient when we were returning. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination."
"Hmm..." Makarov nodded. "Let's head back."
They had arrived on the River Crab, but on their return, the Guild Master transformed into a giant, placed the two on his shoulders, and sprinted back with heavy footsteps.

"Guild Master, I can summon the River Crab again after I rest. Is there a need to make such a big deal out of it?"
"I think it's fun." Mira grabbed the Guild Master's collar with one hand and tightly hugged Rod, lest he lose strength and fall, seeming to enjoy the wind ride with the Guild Master.
"Hahaha..." Makarov let out a hearty laugh, "It's just a father carrying his child on his shoulders for a wind ride, what's so exaggerated about that?"
The word 'father' touched both Mira and Rod.
The Guild Master had always played the role of a father figure, bearing the pressure from the Council Chamber and solving all sorts of troubles for everyone.
For these children without any support, being carried on their father's shoulders and running around was the ultimate happiness.
In the future, if there's a father's speech at the wedding, it must be the Guild Master's turn. (Laxus will be at a great disadvantage!)
Mira looked at Rod and shouted like a child, "Oh! Let's go for a ride!"
Rod felt a twinge of embarrassment and simply followed, "Oh~"
"Guild Master, run a little faster!"
"Not too fast... I feel like I'm going to get carsick."
"Hahaha..." Makarov laughed heartily, carrying the two of them into the city.
And then...
"Guild Master Makarov (Sir, Your Excellency)!"
The streets and squares of Magnolia were filled with people, some wrapped in blankets and others in sleepwear.
Hearing various titles from the crowd, Makarov asked, "What's going on? Why is everyone gathered here?"
"Didn't you come out because of the earthquake?"
Makarov was surprised, "Earthquake? What earthquake?"
"Just now, there was a minor earthquake, so everyone ran out of their homes."
Oh, Rod felt a bit guilty. They had already run so far, and the tremors were still felt? Mira took the opportunity to pat Rod's head and whispered, "Maybe because of Earth Magic, the effect is a bit stronger in this aspect."
"Oh..." Rod pondered how to apologize to everyone.
But Makarov had already taken action. He stomped his foot, causing the ground in the square to shake.
He chuckled and asked, "Was the earthquake like this?"
"Yes, yes!"
"That's how it felt!"
"I think it was even more..."
Suddenly, the crowd fell silent. After a few seconds, everyone roared at Makarov, "It was you!!!"
"That's too much!"
"Why do this at night?!"
"Sorry, sorry, I suddenly wanted to take the kids for a walk... Haha..."
Makarov apologized while putting Rod and Mira down, and his body returned to its normal size.
Although it sounded like a ridiculous reason, the residents of Magnolia didn't doubt it at all).
Because in their minds, anyone from Fairy Tail, from top to bottom, could do something like this.
"Sorry, sorry for disturbing everyone."
Rod and Mira felt the Guild Master's concern and apologized along with him.
