The group arrived at the Dragon Tomb Cave.

When they saw the dragon bones in the cave, everyone was stunned.

Natsu's mouth dropped open, his jaw almost falling to the ground.

Erza crossed her arms and frowned deeply, while Lucy huddled behind Lucy (Future), only half of her face showing.

"This is way too exaggerated..."

Lucy's voice lingered in the cave for quite some time before dissipating.

The dragon skeletons lay scattered about, ten times more shocking than when they were seen from afar.

Standing before these bones, everyone appears incredibly small.

Mebius tilted his head back so his neck almost broke, and he could barely see the top of a rib.

Natsu suddenly turned his head to look at Solari.

"Didn't you say Igunir might be there?"

His voice was very low, as if something was stuck in his throat, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"This place is full of dragon bones, how could there be any?"

"Maybe one of those bones is Igniel's."

Riyao grinned slyly, his lips curling up wide.

Everyone shook their heads.

As expected, what Riyao said must be based on the actual product.

Natsu shouted anxiously.

"Impossible! Igniel is definitely not dead!"

His voice boomed through the cave, echoing several times over.

His fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged out.

Wendy's little face looked miserable, her eyes were a little red, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.

Mirajane patted Wendy's head and gently pressed her head twice with her palm.

"Sunlight is just kidding you guys, your dragon is definitely not here."

Wendy felt a little relieved after hearing Mirajane's words of comfort, and her shoulders relaxed.

"This bastard doesn't look like an S-class at all."

Erza sighed and slapped her forehead.

The group began their treasure hunt.

Thinking that there might be some treasure here, he wandered around.

Natsu rummaged through the pile of bones, Gray squatted in front of a rib and studied it for a long time, Happy flew to the dragon's head and stomped on it twice, and Lucy found a fist-sized fragment of a dragon tooth in the corner, held it up and looked at it again and again in front of the ball of light.

Wendy drew a magic circle on the ground.

His fingers traced arcs in the dust, one line after another, drawing with great care.

"I want to try looking at the Milky Way."

"That Dragon Slayer Secret Technique."

Sunlight squatted down beside Wendy, watching her busy herself, one hand supporting his chin.

"Give it a try, maybe there really is a remnant soul."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped their treasure hunt and gathered around.

They sat in a circle, and no one spoke.

Wendy knelt in the center of the magic circle, clasped her hands together in front of her, and closed her eyes.

【Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Galaxy】

The magic circle lit up.

She was surrounded by a green glow, the light emanating from her body and spreading outwards in wisps.

As time went by, the entire cave turned green.

Fireflies flickered among the keel bones, illuminating the grayish-white bones with a faint green glow.

"Did it fail?"

Gray muttered something under his breath.

Just when everyone had given up hope.

A gigantic green dragon appeared.

A translucent body materialized from the air, its wings unfurling to cover half the cave.

Its eyes darted around before finally settling on Wendy.

"Is this Grandine's magic?"

The emerald dragon lowered its head, its nose almost touching Wendy's face.

"Oh ho ho, so this little rascal is Grandine's successor?"

Its tone suddenly became cheerful, and it grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"Look at me, making little nose-like sounds! Ah~"

It opened its mouth as if to bite Wendy.

Natsu jumped in front of the Emerald Dragon, spread his arms, and stood in front of Wendy.

"I won't allow you to hurt Wendy!"

"Hey, I want it! I want it!"

"I won't allow it! I'll fight you to the death!"

Natsu and the Emerald Dragon exchanged blows.

A man and a dragon roared at each other from a distance, their spittle flying everywhere.

Everyone was speechless.

Lucy's lips twitched, Gray rolled his eyes, and Erza rubbed her temples...

"This idiot, didn't he consider that this is a spirit, unable to touch us?"

The Emerald Dragon stopped teasing Natsu and burst into laughter.

The laughter shook the cave, causing dust to fall in clumps.

"Humans are all idiots after all."

"I'm not!"

"Not human?"

"I'm not stupid!"

Natsu argued vehemently, his face turning red with embarrassment.

The emerald dragon rolled its eyes, and with a snap, its semi-transparent eyelids covered its eyes from top to bottom.

"Who can say for sure?"

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Even a dragon on the roadside could tell that Natsu was an idiot.

Hopeless.

Harpy looked up at the Emerald Dragon and flicked his tail.

What happened here?

"Hmph, I won't tell humans that I'm a dragon with principles."

The jade dragon turned its head to one side, its nostrils pointing upwards.

"But I'm a cat."

Happy tilted his head and his ears twitched.

"Then I'll tell you. My name is Kirkonis, or you can call me the Emerald Dragon!"

Hearing the last address, Riyao felt much more at ease, and his shoulders visibly relaxed.

The Emerald Dragon continued its narration.

Its voice became deep, no longer the playful tone it had before.

"In the very distant past, dragons were the rulers of this world, and humans were nothing more than food for us."

"One day, a group of dragons advocated coexistence with humans. A fierce war broke out between the coexistence faction and the opposition. The coexistence faction was at a disadvantage, and they decided to teach humans the magic that could kill dragons. In your words, these humans are the Dragon Slayer Mages."

"The tragedy stemmed from this. The stronger the Dragon Slayer Mage, the stronger the dragon power became. They were gradually corrupted by the dragon power, and they killed any dragon they saw, regardless of friend or foe."

"Among that group, an extremely terrifying Dragon Slayer Mage was born. He relentlessly hunted dragons, his body becoming soaked in dragon blood, and his body gradually mutated. His human form peeled away, transforming him into a dragon."

"He was none other than Acnologia, the future Dragon King!"

"All the dragons that sleep in this cemetery were killed by his own hands."

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

The emerald dragon scratched its face, and its body began to gradually dissipate.

Starting from the tip of the tail, it gradually transforms into specks of light.

"Time's up. Too bad, I didn't get to eat a little bit of 'Little Nose Cake' in the end."

As the words fell, it completely dissipated.

Green specks of light floated in the air, slowly fell, and then went out.

The cave darkened again, with only the faint glow of the vines on the walls remaining.

Wendy finished the galaxy spell, the light of the magic circle dimmed, her hands were on the ground, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"No, there are no souls left here."

Natsu slapped his head.

"I forgot to ask, does it know Igniel?"

"It will probably say that Igunir is here."

Riyao laughed particularly wickedly, his shoulders shaking, and he was almost laughing to tears.

"I forgot to bring Princess Emerald. Let's have a good laugh at her, hahaha, she shares a name with a big fat dragon."

Behind a skeleton, the Emerald Princess stopped in her tracks.

I'm not going out, even if you beat me to death.

She crouched behind the massive ribs, her back against the bones, her hands covering her face.

She looked at Arcadios with a frantic expression, her eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

Arcadios sighed.

"Your Highness, are you sure you don't want to come out?"

Princess Emerald shook her head frantically, her head moving rapidly and urgently.

She opened her mouth and mouthed three words.

No. Go out.

I'd rather die than go out, absolutely not.
