Chapter 722: Enslaving the Black Dragon (First Update)
Chapter 722: Enslaving the Black Dragon (First Update)
"Erza, Natsu, I've brought your mom and your brother back!"
On October 5, X784, in the afternoon, Jerry returned to the Fairy Tail Guild Hall with Zeref, Mavis, the Magic King, and Eren, having crossed through a Spatial Gate from the Albarez Empire Palace.
"Mom?"
"Brother?"
Erza and Natsu, who were in the middle of a ruckus, were instantly confused by Jerry's words.
Other guild mages, like Lucy and the others, also cast surprised glances at Jerry.
"You should explain it yourselves!"
Seeing the bewildered Erza and Natsu, Jerry turned to Eren and Zeref.
Jerry had not told Erza and Natsu about their backgrounds before, so Erza didn't know her mother was still alive, and Natsu didn't know he had a brother over 400 years old, as well as a nearly hundred-year-old nephew.
Eren and Zeref then approached Erza and Natsu, leading them to a corner to talk privately.
Jerry didn't interfere further, instead greeting Makarov again before disappearing from the spot.
From Zeref, Jerry learned the location where the Black Dragon Acnologia was sleeping. He now planned to go there and subdue this strongest Dragon King, whom even Zeref couldn't defeat.
The Black Dragon Acnologia, a fully dragonified Dragon Slayer, had single-handedly exterminated all the dragons 400 years ago. Immune to all magic, Acnologia could devour all magic power.
The strongest Black Dragon Roar could kill the Fire Dragon King Igneel with a single strike.
Currently, Acnologia is the strongest being in the world, apart from the creator Ankhseram. Acnologia was later killed by Natsu and six other Dragon Slayers.
However, Jerry believed that Ankhseram must have interfered out of fear of Acnologia's growth, otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible for Natsu and the six others to kill the Black Dragon.
At that time, after consuming the power of the time gap, Acnologia should have had the peak strength of a Celestial Being.
On a small island in the middle of the sea between Ishgar and the Western Continent, entirely made of stone, a massive black dragon covered in intricate patterns was sleeping with closed eyes.
Suddenly, it sensed an overwhelming magic power that made even dragons tremble, appearing right in front of it.
Immediately, the dragon opened its eyes, flapped its wings, and flew up, scanning the area.
"Are you Acnologia? I hope you will agree to serve me in my world from now on."
Jerry, looking at the awakened dragon, inwardly marveled at how sensitive Acnologia's senses were.
Hearing Jerry's voice, Acnologia quickly locked onto Jerry's position and was clearly enraged by Jerry's request.
"Pathetic human, to dare make such an impudent demand, vanish!"
The ruthless dragon, unlike a normal being, could not be reasoned with. Upon discovering Jerry, it immediately unleashed a Black Dragon Roar, attempting to reduce him to ashes.
Jerry, helpless, teleported onto the dragon's back and opened his ring world.
"Since we can't communicate normally, don't blame me for being rude."
He had hoped that if Acnologia could be reasoned with, he could subdue the dragon with a more friendly approach. However, given the current situation, he decided to beat Acnologia nearly to death and then use Pact Magic to enslave the dragon.
After all, enslaving dragons was something Jerry had done many times before. It’s just that this dragon was much stronger than the others.
The ring world opened, and a black hole instantly appeared above the Black Dragon, its powerful suction force pulling the dragon into the ring world.
The Black Dragon was very powerful, especially with its immunity to all Magic attacks. However, compared to Dormammu and Igor, whom Jerry had previously dealt with, the Black Dragon was still far inferior.
Moreover, Jerry’s strength had also significantly increased since the last time he dealt with Dormammu and Igor.
"Quickly grow larger!"
After capturing the Black Dragon, Jerry instantly returned to the ring world and transformed into a ten-thousand-meter-tall Giant. He grabbed the Black Dragon with one hand and cast a Pact Magic that he hadn’t used in a long time.
The Black Dragon never imagined that after dominating the world for so many years without any rivals, it would be so easily subdued today.
He didn’t even know who Jerry was.
After the pact was successfully made, Jerry didn’t bother to explain anything. He ordered the Black Dragon to stay on Igor’s planet and then left the ring world. He felt that once Zeref and the others moved in, they would naturally tell the Black Dragon his identity.
"The Miss Fairy Contest, the first prize is a fifty-thousand gold reward. We hope all female Magic users in the guild will participate enthusiastically. The event will be held in the Fairy Tail Guild hall at nine o’clock tomorrow morning!"
When Jerry returned to the guild, he found everyone gathered in front of the notice board at the guild entrance. Looking up, he saw the announcement for the Miss Fairy Contest, which Mira had mentioned earlier as part of the annual Harvest Festival.
"Will the civil war still start?"
Jerry recalled that if he remembered correctly, the day the Miss Fairy Contest began was also the day the Fairy Tail civil war would erupt.
At that time, Makarov’s grandson, Laxus, would lead the Thunder God Tribe to start a civil war and forcibly seize power.
However, with Jerry’s intervention, Fairy Tail’s strength and members had become much stronger than before. It was uncertain whether Laxus would still initiate the civil war as planned.
"Guild Master, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Laxus, hasn’t it?"
After some thought, Jerry asked Makarov, who was sitting at the bar drinking.
Makarov’s originally bright smile instantly turned sour at the mention of Laxus’s name.
"That brat hasn’t come back since the last time we argued. The older he gets, the more disrespectful he becomes!"
Laxus had returned and argued with Makarov after hearing that the Guild Master was planning to pass the position to Jerry. He left in a fit of anger and hasn’t returned since.
Mira, who was pouring drinks nearby, smiled and said:
"I heard from Levy and the others that they saw Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe in town last night. They must have come back to participate in the Harvest Festival’s Magical Parade."
"Of all times, he chooses to return now."
However, Makarov’s expression darkened when he heard Mira’s words, and he muttered to himself.
If Laxus had returned at any other time, Makarov would have been happy, but it was particularly unsettling that he returned just as he was about to pass the Guild Master position to Jerry.
After all, since the time when Laxus’s father, Ivan, was expelled from the guild for attempting to steal the Fairy Heart, Laxus had never participated in the Harvest Festival or the Magical Parade.
Usually, at this time of year, Laxus would take his Thunder God Tribe on a mission and leave the guild.
