Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

In terms of sequence, 400 years ago, Acnologia didn't even know him, and it was even hard to say whether he existed or not. There was no need to worry about anything at all, just squander his power!

And since his opponent was a dragon, Sieg had no psychological burden at all when he attacked!

So, in the eyes of others, Sieg now looks like he has a rosy face.

Lucy, who was sitting not far away, looked at Sieg who was happily dealing with the dragon's corpse. The expression on her face calmed down a little, but the shock in her heart was not relieved at all.

Since joining Fairy Tail, Lucy has participated in many thrilling events, such as secretly participating in an S-rank mission, working with other guilds to wipe out one of the three strongest dark guilds, and destroying the Tower of Paradise... However, all of the above experiences are nothing compared to the experience of just over an hour now.

Through a door left in a magical ruin, Lucy never expected that she and Sieg would come to such a dangerous world full of dragons!

What was even more beyond her imagination was that the dozens of dragons that had escaped from the forest were all killed by Sieg unilaterally! Not even a single dragon was left alive! And now he was cooking the dragon corpses with great interest, like a chef who had seen rare ingredients!

"Really...what is going on?"

Arching her legs and hugging them, Lucy buried her face between them.

At this time, Sieg came over with a string of dragon meat. He used his telekinetic blade to cut it into a large plate of bite-sized pieces and placed them on a makeshift wooden plate. He handed it to Lucy, "Would you like some? Dragon meat is not only nutritious, but also good for your health and magic. I don't know if the dragons on this planet are like this, but at least it can fill your stomach."

"..."

Looking at the dragon meat that Sieg brought to her, Lucy sighed slightly: "...Your adaptability is really amazing. You just arrived here like me, but you are already so skilled."

"To you, this situation is a strange one you are encountering for the first time, but to me, it is just a replay of my life from the age of 11 to 16." Sieg sat down in front of Lucy and took a big bite of dragon meat. "Have I told you before? I was born on a planet where humans are attacked by dragons at any time. The current situation is similar to my hometown."

"...What kind of hell have you been living in since childhood?"

Lucy sighed, picked up a piece of dragon meat, hesitated for a moment, and put it in her mouth.

The meat tasted a bit strange, but it wasn't bad, but it wasn't delicious either, at least not at all like the royal dishes Lucy had eaten in the banquet hall of the Huadeng Palace a few hours ago. But in this situation, Lucy couldn't be too picky about what she ate.

"So, where are we now?"

Lucy asked the question she wanted to know the answer to the most: "Sieg, you know something about that door, right? Do you know where we are now?"

"Well... there are some guesses."

Sieg nodded. "If we are still on the original planet, then I think... we should have gone back to more than four hundred years ago, right? Through the Eclipse Gate, we traveled through time and space."

“…Huh?!”

Lucy found it hard to accept for a moment and looked shocked.

She went back more than four hundred years?!

"How...are you so sure?"

"Because according to historical records, dragons disappeared more than 400 years ago. Until the time we live in, there was only one dragon left, Akunologia. However, as you saw just now, there are dragons everywhere here, so the only possibility is that we have gone back to more than 400 years ago, right?"

(Hmm... that should be fine.)

This is the downside of lying before.

Once a lie is told, it needs to be followed up with more lies.

However, judging from the current situation, the lie told by Sieg will not last too long.

"But don't worry, it's not like we don't have a way to go back."

"Eh?"

Lucy's eyes lit up instantly: "Can we still go back?!"

"Well, I've talked to my companion before. You know him, Griffith. In addition to space magic, he also knows time magic. I agreed with him that if I can't come back for some reason, he will find a way to let me go back. I think he should have started researching it now, right?"

Zigg smiled and said, "So we don't have to worry about not being able to go back. The most we can do is not know when we can go back - if it's fast, it will only take a few months. If it's slow, it may take more than ten years."

"But don't worry. Since you are involved by me, I will take the responsibility to protect your safety before we go back. I will kill as many dragons as you can. If you can, please send more dragons! So that I can kill them to my heart's content!"

"..."

Honestly speaking, from an objective point of view, Sieg's words really made people feel at ease. After all, Sieg had just demonstrated his extraordinary fighting ability and dealt with dozens of dragons as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

But his last half sentence made Lucy feel very cold.

What does [Let more dragons come so he can kill them to his heart’s content] mean?

Thinking back to the scene of being surrounded by dozens of dragons, Lucy felt that the grass beneath her had become a lot wetter.

"Well, it's almost time to start preparing."

"Eh? Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Lucy asked confusedly when she saw Sieg standing up.

And Sieg smiled slightly: "Of course it's the place to stay. I don't care, but you should be very sleepy, right? Before we came to this era, it was already late at night over there."

"So, even if it's for you, we have to prepare an environment where you can sleep peacefully. Wait for me for a moment, I will quickly create an alternate space."

As he spoke, Sieg pulled out the keyboard in front of him and began typing rapidly.

3. Is this dragon meat poisonous?

It didn't take Sieg too much time to prepare a sleeping space for Lucy. With the existence of space magic, at least by spending a little more time, a livable environment could naturally be set up.

However, due to Sieg's current low proficiency in space magic, even if he spent a whole night modifying and adjusting it, he could not create an alien space that was perfect in every aspect, so in the end, he just set up the alien space into an environment where sleeping would not be uncomfortable.

"I set the temperature so that you won't catch a cold at night, but it won't be too hot either. The ventilation is good, and I also set the texture of the floor to be the same as the bed, so sleeping on the floor is fine."

At the entrance to the alternate dimension, Sieg introduced the properties of the space to Lucy who had already entered the alternate dimension.

"If you're not used to it, I'll get you a wooden bed later, but you'll have to sleep on a very hard wooden bed. As for pillows and quilts, I can't make them now, so please make do with it."

"No, no, no! I'm already very grateful that you created such an alien space for me to rest!"

Lucy lifted her long skirt and thanked Zigg repeatedly: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have fallen to my death by now, right? Not to mention having a full meal and sleeping in such a comfortable space."

"It's nothing. After all, it was me who got you involved, so of course I have to take responsibility for you before I go back. That's it for now. You must be very tired, right? Go get some sleep first. I'll keep watch outside for you. If you need anything, just tell me. I can hear you."

After saying that, Zig closed the door.

There is one disadvantage of space magic, which is that if you want to open up a different space of sufficient size, you must at least have a [door] as a carrier to enter and exit the different space.

So now in front of Sieg was a door that he had made out of wood.

But although it is called a door, it is actually just a random piece of wood. The good news is that it doesn’t matter even if the door is smashed. As long as a new door can be found, Sieg can connect to the different space where Lucy is.

(Speaking of which, if you want to enter Scarlet's [Globe Hall], you must have his special key, right?)

(But I don't need that kind of thing. Is it because he has sealed up all his powers, so he has to take a detour? Or is it because the nature of the Globe Hall is too special, so Scarlet must get a key?)

Sitting down by the campfire, Sieg carefully added an extra layer of space barrier to the wooden door as protection, then picked up a string of dragon meat and took a big bite.

(Forget it, now is not the time to think about this kind of thing, let's sort out the current situation.)

(According to the information I have collected so far, after I return to 400 years ago - that is, now, I will start a war called the Dragon King Festival in this era and kill all dragons that are hostile to humans and oppose coexistence with humans. However, Acnologia is the opposite of me, killing all dragons that want to coexist with humans.)

(Both Zeref and the man called Belserion are people I know in this era, which means...)

"The first thing we need to do is to find Zeref and Belserion of this era?"

"Or... find Acnologia of this era."

Since Akunologia is still alive 400 years later, it means that Sieg in this era cannot kill it. According to Griffith, this seems to be a kind of historical correction force. Even if you go back to the past to change history, when the future is already determined, there will definitely be various reasons to make the past and the future correspond.

This seems to be a concept called "time anchor point".

For example, someone wants to go back in time and save his parents who are about to die in a car accident. Even if he saves his parents in the past, his parents will still die afterwards, perhaps because of a serious illness or an accident, in short, they will definitely die - as long as the death of that person's parents is extremely important to history.

However, this power to correct history is not absolutely mandatory. If a situation is encountered that cannot be corrected no matter what, then that situation will become a new timeline.

Just like the case with Ziggy and Griffith.

The two are essentially the same person. If a DNA test is done, the results will be completely identical. However, because the two made completely different decisions ten years ago, two timelines were created.

(Given Acnologia's importance to this world, if we kill it now, it will only create a new timeline where Acnologia doesn't exist, and Acnologia will still exist in the timeline that Lucy and I originally lived in... It's like working in vain.)

(But I feel a little unhappy if I don’t kill it——)

The Acnologia of 400 years ago was probably not as powerful as the Acnologia of 400 years later. Even if magic was ineffective against him, Sieg, who now has [Sirius], could kill it.

Knowing that you can kill but not killing...

"Tsk!"

Pursing his lips, Sieg ate the whole string of dragon meat in one bite!

And at this moment——

[It is detected that the contractor is absorbing special magic power]

Such words suddenly appeared in Sieg's eyes, and even a sound like an electronic synthesized sound rang in his ears.

Sieg was slightly stunned: "...Dragon Slayer System?"

【Yes】

"Are you there?"

[I have always been here, but because Brunhilde has been assisting me before, as the main system, I have no need to show up. But now you have temporarily lost contact with Brunhilde and the Klinghild, so this system will assist in destroying the dragon as the main system.]

"Really? Then what did you mean by that? I am taking in special magic energy?"

[It means literally. The dragon meat you just ate contains the dragon's magic power, and this magic power will in turn affect the eater. According to the calculation of this system, the end result will cause the eater's magic power to be transformed into dragon magic power, and the body will also be transformed into a dragon.]

[Of course, since the contractor is already a high-ranking dragon, this behavior will not have any impact on you. The magic power with the dragon's own characteristics will also be purified by your internal organs, and ultimately simply increase your magic power.]

"Eating meat can increase magic power? Good thing... No!"

Halfway through his words, Sieg suddenly remembered another meaning in the words of the Dragon Slayer System, and quickly removed the space barrier on the wooden door, then pulled the door open.

"Lucy! Your body—"

The moment he opened the door, before Sieg could finish his words, the scene in the alien space made him stunned.

Because Lucy in the space has now taken off her dress, leaving only her underwear, and in front of her, there is a pink-haired girl in a maid outfit who is squatting on the ground respectfully, holding a set of clothes in her hands.

"...Who is she?"

"Why don't you get out first————————!!!"

As Sieg finished his question, Lucy, with red cheeks, screamed in extreme shyness.

4. I swear to you

After a while, when Lucy had changed her clothes, Sieg walked into the different space.

Honestly speaking, after the qualitative change in his relationship with Stella, Daohua and Ningyin, Sieg has become more or less enlightened in this regard, knowing that he was indeed a bit reckless just now - but to be honest, for the current Stella and the other two, if Lucy was replaced by them...then they would probably unceremoniously pull Sieg into the different space and start a big fight, right?

Daohua might have a question mark, but Stella and Ningyin would definitely do so!

After entering the different space, Sieg saw that Lucy had changed into a cute pajamas decorated with many stars. The pink-haired girl who was wearing a maid outfit before now looked like a real maid standing next to Lucy.

"Lucy, is she?"

"It's the Star Spirit from the Virgin Group, Baruge." Lucy introduced, "I asked her to bring me some clothes from the Star Spirit Realm. After all, I've needed to change clothes temporarily before. But this Baruge doesn't seem to be the Baruge I know?"

Lucy's Celestial Magic is a magic that uses the Celestial Key to open the door to the Celestial Realm and summon the Celestial Spirits. If you have to say it, it is a kind of summoning magic and space magic.

Generally speaking, it is very easy to use. As long as you have the Star Spirit Key, anyone can summon the Star Spirit.

But the thing is, this was 400 years ago.

"Yes, although I don't know why two of my keys appeared at the same time, but since the princess holds my key, she is the master I should serve. And since the princess has the same surname as my other master, I guess she should be her descendant?"

"In that case, I have no reason to refuse to serve the princess."

The maid star spirit named Baluge said respectfully.

Lucy also explained: "The Virgo Star Spirit Key of this era seems to be in the hands of a person named [Anna Heartfilia]. I read about it in an ancient book at home. She is my ancestor."

"I see... Anyway, it's a good thing to have new clothes. This way, I can save myself the trouble of finding clothes for you. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry for opening the door without knocking because I had something urgent to confirm with you. But I don't think I saw anything I shouldn't have seen, after all, you had your back to me at the time."

From an objective point of view, Lucy's figure is actually very good. She is plump where she should be plump, and thin where she should be thin. Her overall curves are almost comparable to Stella's.

But no matter how pretty it is, Sieg is not a shy guy, and he won't be attracted by Lucy's beautiful back. Besides, there are more important things to do now.

"When you were changing your clothes just now, did you notice anything wrong with your body?"

"Eh?"
