Chapter 745: Serena, the Celestial Dragon
Chapter 745: Serena, the Celestial Dragon
Inside the Fairy Tail guild hall, a projection appeared in the air like a cascading waterfall, displaying the battlefield where Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart were facing off.
In the projection, the atmosphere seemed to freeze after the appearance of a Celestial Spirit, Serena. Even without being physically present, one could sense the overwhelming pressure and aura emanating from Serena through the magical projection.
"Wh-What is that?!" Lucy stood by, eyes wide with surprise as she beheld Serena. "Guys, what's wrong...?"
In the projection, Elfman and the others closest to Serena were stiff as statues, and those with weaker strength were falling to the ground one by one as Serena took steps forward, their bodies trembling violently.
Feng Ye stood with his hands behind his back, watching the projection with calm eyes. "The magical oppression is too strong. It's difficult for average mages to remain standing in his presence."
"Magical oppression?!" Levy showed a hint of shock as she knew what that meant. When there was a vast difference in magic power between two mages, the stronger one could, through their magic alone, oppress the weaker one into trembling and immobility.
Jellal had once displayed such combat prowess. Without using any magic, he had crushed several weak mages solely through his magic power, causing them to collapse.
But the problem was...
The projection showed that even Elfman struggled to withstand the magical oppression, and even Natsu and Erza seemed to be under tremendous pressure!
Levy turned her gaze to Serena in the projection, her voice slightly trembling. "I-Is he... stronger than Hades of Grimoire Heart?"
"Yes." Feng Ye nodded gently. "Probably by two tiers."
"Two tiers?!" Lucy froze, finding it hard to believe. "How is that possible...? Hades seems to be on par with our guild master, who is already a member of the Ten Wizard Saints!"
Feng Ye glanced at her and smiled casually, offering an explanation nonchalantly. "There are variations in strength even among the Ten Wizard Saints. The gap between the last five and the first five is significant, similar to the difference between you and Erza. Then, the gap between the third and second rank is another tier, which is also quite substantial."
Wendy, with her large eyes, expressed her awe. "So, that means he is..."
Feng Ye folded his arms in front of him and also looked at Serena's figure in the projection. "He is the second-ranked mage among the Ten Wizard Saints, Serena, the Celestial."
The second among the Ten Wizard Saints!
Serena, the Celestial!
His ranking and title sent shivers down the spines of Wendy and Lucy, among others. They exchanged glances, unable to hide their anxiety.
Lucy, her mind in turmoil, turned to Feng Ye. "So, he's even stronger than our guild master... How do we deal with such an opponent? But he's alone, and Erza and Laxus are there. Our guild master and the others should be able to hold him off, right?"
"It's difficult." Feng Ye maintained his calm gaze at the screen. "At his level, numbers hardly matter anymore."
In reality, Serena's confrontation with Fairy Tail was a mismatch in terms of strength. Fairy Tail should have had no chance of defeating Serena.
Although Serena had not ventured to the West Continent and gained the power boost that came with it, he had obtained and studied the six magic orbs left behind by Feng Ye, elevating his strength to a level comparable to the Twelve Shields of the West Continent.
This tier represented the pinnacle of human potential.
The next step up was the Dragon Clan.
Erza's mother, the Dragon Queen Irene, belonged to an even higher plane of existence, her power on par with true dragons like the Sky Dragon Grandeeney. And above her was Acnologia, the Black Dragon, the apex that all beings short of 'gods' could attain.
Serena's strength was enough to effortlessly crush the current Fairy Tail, but Feng Ye only said it was difficult, not impossible. The reason was that Fairy Tail possessed an unpredictable factor—their potential to unleash the 'One Magic'.
With the 'One Magic', even Acnologia, the Black Dragon, could fall victim to a 'plot device'. Naturally, Serena would stand no chance against it.
"Then... what should we do?" Levy and Lucy showed signs of panic and worry.
With no intention of stopping Celestial Spirit Serena right away, he wanted to see if this was an opportunity to witness the power of 'One Magic.' With his ability to foresee the future, he could easily discern the infinite possibilities, even without the Fairy Tail members actually unleashing the power of One Magic. As long as there was a chance, he would be able to see it!
In Feng Ye's vision, countless scenes flashed by at an incredibly fast speed, each second and each minute presenting countless changes and possibilities.
He saw a scene where Serena instantly killed everyone.
He saw another scene where Serena effortlessly crushed Makarov.
He even saw a scene where Serena killed Natsu, forcing the Fire Dragon King, Igneel, to break free from his seal within Natsu's body and emerge to slay Serena...
Countless potential futures flashed by.
Unfortunately, even after scanning through millions of possibilities and scenes, he still didn't see Fairy Tail emerge victorious through the power of 'One Magic.'
As Feng Ye foresaw the future, on the magical projection he had created in the guild hall, Serena could be seen engaging in battle with the Fairy Tail mages.
Whoosh!!!
Erza unleashed her Requip Magic, brandishing a large sword as she attacked Serena from the side. At the same time, Mira transformed into her demon form, assaulting from the other side. Both of them burst forth with the power of S-class mages, dark and golden lights converging towards the center.
However, facing Erza and Mira's assault, Serena merely lifted his hands contemptuously, his index and middle fingers coming together as he casually waved his hand.
Crack!!!
His fingers made contact with the blade in Erza's hand, shattering it instantly. On the other side, Mira's magic was also crushed effortlessly.
Both women were sent flying backward.
"Are you sure you don't want to hand over that Magic Orb? Makarov."
Serena spread his arms wide, unleashing invisible magic that directly froze Erza and Mira in mid-air. "If you don't hand it over, I'll kill every mage in your guild, one by one."
"Bastard!"
"Let go of Erza!!!!"
Natsu's furious roar echoed from behind Serena, accompanied by a surging wave of magic that transformed into flames, rushing towards Serena.
At the same time, not far away, Laxus also released his magic, the two spells identical except for their attributes.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"Laxus' Dragon's Roar!"
Boom!!!
Fire and lightning intertwined, forming a beam of thunderous flames that rushed towards Serena.
Serena furrowed his brows, dispelling his magic and causing Erza and Mira, who had been suspended in mid-air, to fall to the ground. He then turned his head, baring his teeth in a sinister grin. "It's rare to meet Dragon Slayers who dare to attack me. So, I should at least introduce myself..."
As his words trailed off, he took a deep breath, and in an instant, violent winds swirled as if the entire sky had been devoured by him. A vast wave of magical power surged from within his body.
"Storm Dragon's Serenade!"
Boom!!!
A ferocious storm exploded forth, effortlessly crushing Natsu and Laxus' attacks and sending them flying. They crashed into one of Grimoire Heart's buildings, shattering it before flying even further into the distance.
Witnessing this, Erza, who had just landed, revealed a shocked expression. "Is this... Dragon Slayer Magic?!
"Yes."
Celestial Spirit Serena turned towards Erza and lightly spread his hands. "It seems you younger generation don't know my former title..."
Makarov's face darkened as he glared at Serena, his voice steady. "Serena of the Eight Dragons, the mage with eight Dragon Slayer Lacrima embedded within his body... You are indeed powerful, but we swore to protect what the first guild master left behind. I will never hand it over, no matter what!"
Hearing Makarov's words, Serena let out a cold huff, his eyes turning icy. "Aside from that woman, no one on this continent can stand against me. You should be well aware of that. If you still refuse to see reason, then I shall bury all of you here and then search every inch of your guild for what I seek!"
