Chapter 749: So Maple Night Loves Young Girls Too
Chapter 749: So Maple Night Loves Young Girls Too
"Perish! Be destroyed under my Dragon Slayer Magic!"
Serena went berserk as he unleashed his magic, transforming it into a violent and destructive force that surged forward. He had given his all, intending to defeat Acrasia with this move.
The magical light transformed into a flood of annihilation, eventually erupting into a dazzling and brilliant light, like a nuclear explosion, causing the night to turn into daylight momentarily. The entire world seemed permeated by the radiant light.
The glare caused Erusha and the others to shut their eyes instinctively.
"Ugh... Eh..."
Even with their eyes closed, they couldn't block out the glare. Lisana and the others even had to turn their heads away, unable to keep their gaze on the blinding light.
After what felt like an eternity, the dazzling white light finally dissipated.
Serena had returned to his human form, and his magical power had visibly weakened significantly. Apparently, he had exhausted his magic and given it his all in that previous attack.
At this moment,
He stared fixedly at the sky in front of him, his eyes reflecting disbelief and denial, "Impossible, this can't be..."
What could be seen was a cluster of fiery golden flames still floating in the sky directly in front of him, maintaining the shape of a phoenix.
Acrasia was bathed in the flames, her tiny bare feet floating as her slender legs were pressed tightly together, her right toes touching her left ankle.
She remained calm and serene, with no signs of injury on her body, and even her clothes were barely torn. Her magical power also seemed unchanged.
Compared to Serena's apparent weakening—
The difference in their strengths was clear!
"To withstand my attack... Impossible... This is absolutely impossible. Even a real dragon couldn't completely withstand my attack... Ahhh..."
Disbelief filled Serena's eyes as he roared in anger, refusing to accept that Acrasia could be this powerful. He believed that she was merely pretending to be unscathed. In his roar, he gathered the remnants of his magic and unleashed it towards Acrasia.
However.
Acrasia merely lifted her small hand and with a casual flick, the surging phoenix fire engulfed Serena's incoming attack.
"That's enough."
Acrasia looked at Serena, her eyes calm and emotionless as she spoke. Then, she gently pressed her palms together in front of her, and a huge phoenix magic array appeared before her.
The magic array instantly released a dazzling golden light, transforming into fiery flames that surged out and enveloped Serena entirely.
"Ah... Ahhh... No, I refuse... How can this be..."
Serena was devoured by the golden flames, letting out a painful scream. He tried to resist desperately by unleashing the remnants of his magic, but it was to no avail.
He couldn't accept his defeat.
After all, he had already comprehended a portion of the power on the magic ball, and his magical power had far surpassed his previous self. Even if the eight people ranked below him in the Ten Saints of the Magic Council joined forces, he was confident that he could easily crush them.
Yet, when facing Acrasia, the immortal priestess, he still felt an insurmountable gap between them, a difference of at least one level!
He couldn't accept it.
But his denial had no meaning anymore, as Acrasia showed no mercy.
Although her temperament remained unchanged from four hundred years ago, she had lived through four centuries, witnessing the changes in history and the rise and fall of human magic. She had taken lives before, slaughtering countless mages. She was Maple Night's handmaiden, but she was also the number one mage in Ishgar.
Facing Serena, who intended to destroy the Fairy Tail guild, defeat her, and kill her to steal Maple Night's power, Acrasia would show no mercy.
Soon.
Serena's screams gradually weakened, his magic burned away, and his resilient body, a trait of Dragon Slayers, soon turned to ashes under the scorching phoenix fire.
The phoenix fire gradually faded and eventually disappeared into the air, taking Serena's existence with it, erasing all traces of him from the world.
The members of the Fairy Tail guild were still dazed and stunned, including Makarov, who stood rooted to the spot.
Acrasia glanced in the direction of the Fairy Tail group.
Then, her figure disappeared in a whoosh, reappearing directly in front of the Fairy Tail members. She regarded them with peaceful eyes.
Makarov snapped out of his stupor. Facing this girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. He quickly performed a mage's etiquette towards Acrasia and said, "Thank you for your help..."
There was an obvious dissonance in seeing an old man in his seventies or eighties performing a respectful gesture and addressing a young girl as 'Senior.'
"Se... Senior?"
Natsu gaped at Makarov's actions and address.
Erza immediately reached out and tapped Natsu's shoulder, whispering, "Don't be rude, Natsu. She's the top-ranked mage in Ishgar, wielding Phoenix Magic, and has existed since 400 years ago."
"Huh?! So she's 400 years old?!"
Natsu stared at Acrasia, dumbfounded.
While Erza had whispered her reminder, Natsu had blurted out loud. This statement caused everyone present to stare wide-eyed, cold sweat instantly forming on their foreheads.
Even Makarov's expression stiffened, and he quickly raised his hand to punch Natsu, knocking him to the ground. He then stammered, "Uh, please don't mind him..."
"It's alright."
Acrasia offered a gentle smile.
Discussing a woman's age is, of course, a taboo topic, especially when it's 400 years. However, she didn't really mind. The reason was simple; her age was insignificant compared to Maple Night's existence, and she didn't even know how ancient and timeless Maple Night truly was.
Having served the great existence that was Maple Night up close and possessing the power of the phoenix herself, resulting in a long and eternal life, Acrasia naturally didn't care about something as trivial as age.
Seeing that Acrasia, this legendary existence, was quite approachable, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Senior, do you know where the first Guild Master is?"
In the guild's history, the first Guild Master, Mebis, had left with Acrasia. Since Acrasia possessed Phoenix Magic and had existed 400 years ago, it stood to reason that Mebis might still be alive as well, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
"You'll find out in due time."
Acrasia glanced at Makarov and replied. Her gaze then swept over the Fairy Tail members, lingering on several mages who were severely injured. She raised her delicate hand, and with a slight flick of her slender fingers, a ball of phoenix fire shot out and split into several tiny sparks in the air.
The sparks landed on the injured mages, burning for a few seconds before their wounds rapidly healed.
Finally,
Acrasia opened her palm, and the flames returned to her.
She retracted her fingers and looked at the Fairy Tail mages once more, her gaze pausing briefly on Erza, Lisanna, and Mira, among others, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
She had sensed Maple Night's power within Erza, Mira, Lisanna, and the others. It was evident that Maple Night had infused his magic into them.
Compared to the others, Maple Night had a clear preference for these young girls.
Having a preference meant there was an element of affection involved.
Acrasia never expected that Maple Night, such a divine existence, would also favor young and adorable girls. This meant that despite Maple Night's god-like status, he still retained a human side to him, which brought a smile to Acrasia's face.
However, she quickly composed herself, returning to her peaceful demeanor. Her figure was enveloped in flames, and she transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
