The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 147 Fairy Tail (Final)

The name "Zeref" seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly silencing everyone present.

Their attention was drawn to the young figure atop the black dragon, and they even temporarily forgot about the dragon's existence.

The man had short black hair and wore a long black robe with a high stand-up collar that was particularly eye-catching.

He wore a pendant around his neck, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

Over his robe, he wore a long white cloth tied around his neck and black boots. Even in such a tense atmosphere, his handsome face remained remarkably calm.

"This is Zeref, the progenitor of the Black Mages."

The barrage of information was almost too much for the Fairy Tail members present to handle.

Faced with the sudden appearance of such a legendary being, they were momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"Precht?" Jelf's voice was deep and magnetic; he seemed to be familiar with Hades' name.

Hades was overjoyed to see that Zeref still remembered him: "Lord Zeref, I've come to fetch you. With your joining us, we will create..."

Jelf's voice was cold and ruthless as he interrupted Hades: "Boring."

"You have taken many lives. Your evil thoughts have summoned the 'Black Dragon' Acnologia. The Black Dragon will destroy this island and bury everyone."

"Lord Zeref..." Hades stared at Zeref in shock; this was completely different from what he had expected.

Zeref glanced at Natsu in the crowd, then vanished without a trace.

"roar!!!"

The black dragon's roar was deafening, echoing throughout the entire sea.

Countless animals were terrified to death upon hearing this sound.

After circling once in the air, the black dragon swooped down, its power enough to pierce through the entire island.

Faced with such a threat, Fairy Tail guild master Makarov didn't hesitate to transform into a giant, spreading his arms to block everyone: "Don't even think about hurting my children!!"

Surprisingly, Wes also joined the fight.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, thinking to himself: "Let me witness the most powerful force in this world."

"Defense Magic: Iron Gate Trio!"

As Wes cast his incantation, three gleaming metal doors rose from the ground. Each door was incredibly sturdy, and Wes was confident they could withstand any missile attack.

However, these iron gates were as fragile as biscuits in front of the black dragon Yaknorokia, and were crushed almost instantly, but at least they relieved some of the pressure on Makarov.

"Bang!!"

A deafening roar, like muffled thunder, was the result of Makarov's massive body colliding with the black dragon.

Makarov's face was flushed, and the veins on his powerful arms bulged like winding snakes, showing that he was doing his best to resist the black dragon's attack.

The ground beneath their feet could not withstand such enormous force and sank more than ten meters, causing the entire island to tremble.

Wes made his move again. This time, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground, from which countless golden chains emerged, tightly binding the black dragon's body in an attempt to restrain it.

"What are you standing there for? Are you waiting to die?!"

Wes's roar shattered everyone's fear, and the others finally reacted and launched an attack on the black dragon.

Hades, however, remained utterly dejected, as if he had lost his soul.

"President, now is not the time to be discouraged. Let's focus on surviving first. This black dragon intends to kill us all."

Wes's words struck Hades like a thunderbolt, bringing him back to his senses.

That's right, no matter what, there's hope as long as you live.

Between dreams and life, what often inspires the greatest potential is the instinct for survival; everything else takes a backseat.

"Amaterasu: Hundred Styles!"

A seven-layered array of purple runes appeared around the black dragon, each rune emitting a purple light.

"Get out of the way!"

Hades spoke up to remind the Fairy Tail members present.

This was not because he suddenly became merciful, but because in this life-or-death battle, every soldier was crucial.

Black Dragon's strength is such that he cannot fight against him alone; only by joining forces can they possibly win.

Knowing the power of "Amaterasu Hyakushiki," Makarov dared not be careless and quickly organized the Fairy Tail members to evacuate the scene to ensure they would not suffer unnecessary harm in the upcoming attacks.

"boom!!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, obscuring half of the sky.

The powerful shockwave unleashed towering waves tens of meters high, and brought with it a fierce wind that swept across the entire battlefield, threatening to engulf everything in its path.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Makarov, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, staggered to Hades' side. "I never thought we'd be fighting side-by-side again."

Hades ignored Makarov's sentiments, stating that their alliance was only formed out of necessity, and both men held their own convictions.

As the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, everyone was horrified to find that the black dragon was still unharmed, its scales intact.

He merely raised his head slightly, and the golden chains were easily torn apart like noodles by the black dragon's power.

"roar!!"

The black dragon let out a deafening roar, then leaped into the air and soared into the sky.

When it reached a certain height, it suddenly stopped rising and raised its head high.

"What is this action?!"

The three children raised by the dragon—Natsu, Gray, and Lucy—looked at the black dragon's familiar figure and first felt a strange sense of nostalgia, followed by an overwhelming sense of fear.

"careful!!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Their warnings were too late. Everyone present had already sensed the unfathomable magical fluctuations within the black dragon's body. That aura, capable of destroying almost everything, made everyone tense.

Even someone as worldly-wise as Wes couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a real monster!"

Faced with an unprecedented threat, not a single person chose to give up the fight.

Wendy stood in the crowd, her small figure radiating a resolute light. She closed her eyes slightly, gently raised her hands, and murmured something to herself.

As she chanted, a gentle and warm magic slowly spread out, like a light breeze, softly brushing over everyone.

This is a buff spell cast by Wendy, giving everyone a layer of tough armor and greatly enhancing their strength and confidence.

Even Wes and Hades were bathed in this warm magic.

Wes gripped his wand tightly, took a deep breath, and poured all his magic into it like a surging tide.

The wand instantly emitted a dazzling light, and the powerful magical fluctuations made the surrounding air seem to become scorching hot.

With Wes's control, nine enormous magic circles instantly appeared in the sky, covering the entire island.

Such a massive output of magic power caused Wes's face to turn pale, fine beads of sweat to appear on his forehead, and his body to tremble slightly.

The power of the Philosopher's Stone remaining in his cells began to take effect, nourishing his body like a warm spring.

His magic began to recover rapidly, allowing him to continue maintaining the powerful magic circle.

The others also revealed their trump cards.

Everyone is doing their best to protect Sirius Island.

However, just as everyone was nervously preparing to meet the impending challenge and attack, the black dragon in the sky lowered its huge head.

Those deep, lake-like eyes coldly looked down at the ant-like crowd below, a hint of disdain flashing in them.

Then, it opened its enormous mouth and aimed it at Sirius Island.

A deafening roar resounded, and powerful energy burst forth from the black dragon's mouth.

That terrifying attack was nothing more than a tiny, insignificant flame compared to Natsu's "Roar of the Fire Dragon".

The black dragon's attack was like a destructive torrent, instantly covering the entire Sirius Island.

The first six layers of the nine magic arrays that Wes had set up were instantly shattered by this powerful attack. The broken magic arrays, like fragile glass, turned into countless fragments and dissipated in the air.

Then the three layers of magic arrays only lasted for a second before collapsing completely amidst the black dragon's roar.

The shockwave generated by the black dragon's roar centered on Sirius Island, creating giant waves hundreds of meters high.

The giant wave, like an angry giant, surged outwards, as if it wanted to devour everything.

As the violent force finally subsided, the once turbulent sea fell into a deathly silence.

The once vibrant Sirius Island has vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed in this sea area at all.

That land, which once held countless memories and hopes, has left no trace. Only the endless seawater ripples gently, as if silently recounting the fierce battle that has just taken place.

The black dragon's massive body moved slightly in the sky, flapping its huge wings and stirring up a gust of wind.

A strong wind howled past, causing ripples to spread across the sea.

Black Dragon glanced indifferently at the empty sea below, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Then, it flapped its wings and flew away, leaving behind only a silent sky and a turbulent sea.
