Chapter 449: Inferno Wyvern! The Calamity Descends!

Chapter 449: Inferno Wyvern! The Calamity Descends!

"Haa!" Jula pushed forward with a single palm, sending countless pebbles flying like buckshot, blasting the Overlord to the ground and burying him entirely.

Jula then brought his hands together, squeezing the rocks towards the center, forming a small mountain.

"Tyrant Rock Crush!"

With Jula's shout, the stones on the small mountain seemed to transform into bombs, exploding with a loud boom.

The rocks scattered, revealing the Overlord buried beneath.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his body covered in wounds, his silver-gray hair loose and dusty, and his mouth stained with blood.

"Ugh...Ah!" The Overlord let out an unconscious groan, his eyes rolling back as he collapsed to the ground.

The last of the patterns on his face gradually began to fade.

"We did it!" Everyone cheered, "No wonder you're one of the Ten Great High Mages!"

The Overlord's defeat seemed even more decisive than Midnight's, leaving a sense of unease. However, considering it might be due to the advantage of the terrain, everyone was too happy to care.

But after the initial excitement, the group realized the city beneath their feet was still moving forward.

Jula formed a sword finger with his right hand, pointing at the fallen Overlord, "It seems you're still conscious, but even now, you won't stop Nirvana?"

The response didn't come from the Overlord but from the skull staff that had been clutched in his hand, "Damn! You've defeated all the Six Demon Generals!"

Happy clasped his hands to his face, "The staff is talking!"

"Could it be that you're the one controlling Nirvana? Stop it immediately!" Lucy made the request and couldn't help but add, "And you're just realizing it's bad now?"

The skull staff looked terrified, even trembling, "You fool! If all the Six Demon Generals are defeated, that person will come!"

"What person?" Everyone was puzzled.

Not far away, the Overlord's eyes showed a Yin-Yang Swap, and his body, like a zombie, stood straight up, exuding a terrifying magic power.

The aura was so overwhelming that even Jula was startled, "This is..."

"Such a disgusting feeling."

Fairy Tail members immediately thought of Joseph, but the magic power of the person before them was even more powerful and disgusting than Joseph's!

The skull staff spoke with trembling fear, "This is the Overlord's alternate personality, the true Guild Master of the Six Demon Generals, 'Mcu'!

Because this personality is too powerful and evil, the Overlord sealed it with the Rikka Lock. Once the Six Demon Generals are defeated, the seal will be broken. Mcu will destroy everything!"

As Mcu took a few steps forward, the skull staff, surprisingly flexible, bent and knelt down, "Welcome back, Guild Master Mcu!"

"Step aside, Black Gate." As Mcu spoke, the wounds on his body miraculously healed, "I'm a little nostalgic for this feeling."

"Yes, Guild Master." The skull staff obediently retreated, curling up like a worm.

"So, you're the true Guild Master of the Six Demon Generals?" Jula frowned, this person didn't seem like an ordinary opponent.

But this was more like one of the three major forces of the Balam Alliance.

"It was you, baldy, who just ravaged this body." A cruel smile appeared on Mcu's face, "Then, let's destroy it!"

Mcu raised his right hand, his palm facing Jula.

"Stone Wall!" Jula reacted instantly, and several hard rock pillars rose from the ground, blocking his path.

Mcu's palm could unleash a dark green magic storm, but his attack wasn't aimed at Jula; instead, it headed towards Natsu, who was being supported by Gray.

Gray was startled and immediately let go of Natsu, summoning his Ice-Make magic, "Ice Shield!"

Unfortunately, the sturdy ice shield was like paper before Mcu's attack. The dark green magic storm easily shattered the ice shield, splitting into over a dozen streams that blasted Gray and Natsu away.

"Ughhh..."

Gray and Natsu flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to get up.

"Gray! Natsu!"

Perhaps Lucy's shout caught Mcu's attention, as he waved his hand, sending another dark green magic missile towards Lucy.

"Transformation Black Feather Armor!"

Elusa stepped in front of Lucy, her sword clashing with Mcu's attack, but it took all her strength to cancel out the magic missile.

Jula was furious, "You dare attack someone who can't move!"

"Whether they can move or not doesn't matter; it's just too much fun to destroy tangible things!" Mcu stood with his right arm extended, palm open, "All tangible things should be destroyed to 'Mcu'!"

He jerked his right palm upward, and a fountain of green magic erupted beneath Jula, Erza, Lucy, Happy, Levy, and Jellal... Everyone was forced to leap back.

"Waaah..."

A collective cry of surprise escaped from the group, and everyone except Jula was sent flying, nearly losing consciousness upon impact.

"What kind of destructive power is this...?" Elusa, with her Black Feather Armor severely damaged, struggled to stand, leaning on her sword.

"How interesting, the stronger the person, the more fun it is to destroy them! Become nothingness!" Mcu, like a madman, cackled wildly, pointing his left hand at Elusa, and a spiral of dark green light shot towards her heart.

"I will never fall here!" Elusa propped herself up and ran forward.

As she took a step, the damaged black armor on her body disappeared, leaving only a simple white wrap-around cloth and red pants with flame patterns. Her Black Feather Sword had also transformed into the Oni Sword Red Balloon.

Mcu's Evernight Mazurka, a move with incredible piercing power, was split in two by Elusa's sword, exploding on the ground on either side of her and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Elusa burst through the dust, thrusting her sword towards Mcu's throat.

Mcu's close-range combat skills were equally impressive, and he easily dodged Elusa's attack by shifting his body to the side.

Elusa's figure crossed paths with Mcu, and she spun around to deliver a horizontal slash, leaving a small wound on Mcu's waist.

In a flash, the two exchanged blows, and Elusa was hit in the abdomen by Mcu's punch, sending her flying backward.

Mcu gathered green magic power in his hand again, aiming directly at Elusa.

"Stone Fist!" Jula stepped between them, assuming a horse-riding stance, and a sturdy rock arm emerged from the ground in front of her, punching towards Mcu.

The fist was much larger than a human, and its force blew Mcu's hair back.

"Evernight Mazurka!" Mcu unleashed the green magic power in his hand.

A dazzling green light formed a vortex, engulfing the rock fist and completely shattering it, even knocking Jula away!

Elusa and Jula struggled to get up, their gazes heavy as they stared at Mcu. If they fell, it would truly be over.

The remaining standing individuals seemed to have forgotten that the tremors from Nirvana had stopped some time ago.

As Elusa realized this, she suddenly felt the air turn hot and dry. She looked to her left and was surprised to see the sky dyed red by fire!

From an angle they couldn't see, Nirvana's six thick legs were engulfed in raging flames. The rocks and other building materials had turned into lava, emitting an astonishing amount of heat.

The outer shells of the six legs were constantly shedding, while simultaneously absorbing magical power from the earth for repairs.

The speed of the repairs was visibly struggling to keep up.

"What is that?"

The exaggerated flames sparked the same question in all three of their minds.

Until a massive, crimson-red creature appeared before them, its body seemingly engulfed in flames and flowing with lava.

"A dragon?" Mcu's eyes widened in disbelief. "What nonsense! How could there be dragons in this era?!"

Jula was equally shocked. "There's actually a dragon! Why would a dragon appear here?"

After a brief moment of daze, Elusa immediately thought of Rod. Although she had only seen the Mountain Wyvern, she had witnessed Rod's transformation a few days ago and wondered if he could still summon a fire-attributed dragon.

Mcu, however, remained unconvinced, believing he had seen through the truth, "What dragon? It's just your magic!"

Despite the terrifying magical pressure from the dragon, Mcu was certain it was just a spell, and there couldn't possibly be a real dragon.

But when the Inferno Wyvern opened its mouth, it shattered Mcu's fantasy along with its own dignity, "What's all this ruckus? Bro, you dealing with that kid? He's asking for it."

The situation was clear at a glance; Rod replied, "The main task is to dismantle this big guy, and a side of beating is fine too."

"Alright, you do your thing." The Inferno Wyvern tossed the two people in its palms towards Elusa and then breathed a controlled burst of dragon flame towards Mcu.

"Evernight Shield!" Mcu immediately erected a magical barrier in front of him.

The dragon's flame collided with the barrier, causing a violent explosion. The buildings on both sides of the street were affected, collapsing and catching fire amidst the blast.

As the barrier in front of Mcu shattered, he was engulfed in flames, causing his magical power to erupt and quickly extinguish the fire on his body. He was convinced that this was indeed a fake dragon.

In reality, Mira sprouted demonic wings from her back and gracefully landed in front of Elusa with Rod in her arms, just outside the range of the flames.

Elusa was about to say something when Rod pointed behind her, "If you can still move, I have a task for you."

Elusa turned around and saw a deep crimson sharp-beaked bird landing beside her, flying in from the opposite direction of the Inferno Wyvern.

A similar bird had also landed beside Jula.

A short distance away, Wendy and Shaluna were working to load others onto the backs of more sharp-beaked birds.

There were twelve sharp-beaked birds, carrying eleven members of the alliance, plus a cat, making it a perfect fit.

"What task?" Elusa was not one to beat around the bush, and she knew that when Rod spoke like this, it was something important.

"Nirvana has six important magic crystals on its body. If they are destroyed simultaneously, it will temporarily stop it. I need you to check if those six compartments have been burned. If not, we'll have to take action."

"Now, with you, Jula, Wendy, and Mira, there are four people. As for the other two... If there's no one among them who can move, I'll find a way to make up for it."

"Brother Rod!" Wendy's urgent voice reached them, "Mr. Ichya can still move, and Natsu can too!"

Ichya took out a bottle of perfume and sniffed it, mustering the strength to stand up. "MEN—This is the moment for men to charge!"

The function of this perfume was similar to adrenaline, although it had some side effects. Still, he felt it was his duty.

Natsu's situation was also easily resolved; Wendy just needed to cast 'Troya' on him to temporarily eliminate his motion sickness.

Since Gray had blocked most of the attack's power, Natsu could even join the battle directly.

However, with Wendy's request, he could only temporarily suppress his combative nature and attend to the important task first.

Both of them mounted the sharp-beaked birds, waiting for the birds to take them to their destination.

"I see." Jula was also decisive and quickly mounted a sharp-beaked bird, "Then, when is the time to strike?"

"Leave it to... me." Xi Bi Qi struggled to activate Grimoire Magic, and yellow progress bars appeared above the heads of the six people.

In less than a second, the progress bars were completed, and a countdown appeared in everyone's minds, along with a map.

"I've already calculated the flying speed of these birds and input the optimal route into your minds, leaving about half a minute of preparation time for the furthest person. Now, please depart..."

Mila chose the nearest bird and took Rod with her to keep an eye on the battlefield.

The others selected their targets, and those without tasks were evacuated by the sharp-beaked birds, flying away from Nirvana.

Mcu defended and dodged the Inferno Wyvern's attacks while launching a few magic attacks towards it.

In truth, he wanted to sneak attack Rod, the suspected magic caster, but they were retreating too quickly, and the dragon seemed to be intentionally pushing him away from that direction.

The Inferno Wyvern was growing impatient.

Finally, after waiting for everyone to evacuate, it could finally let loose! The Inferno Wyvern took a deep breath, its cheeks puffing up uncharacteristically, unlike when it had used its breath attack before.

Mcu sensed something amiss and exerted all his strength to create a magical barrier.

The Inferno Wyvern opened its mouth, and a torrent of flames erupted, accompanied by rolling lava.

At that moment, it resembled a living volcano hanging in the sky, with its crater pouring out thick black smoke, surging lava, and an overwhelming inferno!

The scorching torrent illuminated the night sky, reflecting the despair on Mcu's face. The Inferno Wyvern's full-power breath attack was like a natural disaster!

Mcu was exceptionally strong. In the original plot, after Jula did some sit-ups, she was ambushed by the Overlord and was taken down. Then, Natsu and Gray couldn't get up after two rounds, and Lucy was so scared that she couldn't move. She and Happy were defeated in one move. If Mcu had known how to finish them off, the alliance would have been wiped out.

Unless Igneel intervened to protect his son.
