The snow-capped mountains that could not withstand the roaring coming were shaking, and the atmosphere torn apart by the wings of darkness was wailing.
Just one glance made it seem as if he was facing despair. The huge body flew through the gap between the mountains, flying towards the direction that was sending an 'invitation' to him with an aura of destruction.
This was the final winner in the war between humans, dragons and demons more than four hundred years ago.
Dragon King.
"Akunololia".
…
"...What's going on...this abnormal magic power?!"
Before he could ask why the brown-haired girl had just reminded him like that, a coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow spread throughout Gildarts' body.
It was not the coldness he felt in this windy and snowy day, but it was like the blade of death caressing his neck.
(…)
(The purer the 'darkness', the easier it is to attract the attention of the 'origin of evil'... It's absolutely true.)
The corner of one side of her mouth raised slightly, and Zella buried that dark tension deep in her heart.
Although I have been setting up here for several years and have already prepared to face it, this sense of crisis is still very uncomfortable.
Just like a girl who can detect the black dragon crossing the cordon, Akunololia has already locked her position when she steps into the spiritual peak.
There's no point trying to transfer now.
(Huh... Anna, this commission of yours is not that easy to complete...)
Looking at the figure that gradually became clearer in the snow, the girl's low sigh took away all the thoughts of Gildarts beside him.
"……coming."
"——!"

In the lobby on the first floor of the Ghost Headquarters, the battle between Urrutia and Gajeel, the Armored Knight and the remaining "Four Elements" has now entered a fierce stage.
"Tch... I'm looking down on you, woman."
"but--!"
First, he raised his nut-shaped eyebrows as if he acknowledged Urrutia's strength, and Gajeel's eyes once again flashed a cruel light.
"No matter how many times I try, the result will not change! Your ice is of no use to Mr. Gajeel!"
Stick-like and thorn-like iron blocks proliferated from the frozen parts of his hands, feet, and body, shattering Urrutia's suppression.
He opened his mouth wide in one breath, and the dragon's breath was gathering.
"Just disappear for me this time! Iron Dragon's...roar!!!"
"Well!"
The black iron energy storm roared out from Gajeel's mouth and swept towards the 'unprepared' Urrudia's location.
--boom!
"Gahey."
Seeing the explosion caused by his attack, Tie Long showed his iconic sadistic smile.
But just when he thought he had dealt with the traitors and was about to turn around and rush to another battlefield, he suddenly kicked a crystal ball at his feet that rolled out from nowhere.
The mirror-like sphere reflected Gajeel's slightly astonished face.
"...This is your 'future'."
"——!"
Along with some seductive laughter, countless crystal balls appeared in the sky.
The countless futures pushed by the released crystal are compressed, pointing to the only future.
"The Arc of Time·The Future Flashes".
"Uh oh oh oh oh-!!!!"
The future of Iron Dragon fell into the hands of the magicians of ice and time at this moment.
…
"...Well, it looks like the winner has been decided over there, let's finish it quickly!"
Seeing that the battle in another place had already concluded, the armored knight who had been paying attention there nodded slightly.
Although she couldn't see her face clearly, judging from her tone, the person under the helmet must be smiling.
Pointing his sword at the enemies ahead, the high-spirited knight once again sent out a signal to invite battle.
"bring it on!"
"..."
"What's wrong?! I'm right here!"
"..."
Unfortunately, no one dares to act rashly.
Because there is no strong person in front of her who can compete with her.
The 'Knight' who was taught by the Dragon Queen of the distant past has obviously surpassed the average S-class level.
"...Damn...that guy..."
"Pattering, pattering...Zhu Bian has already..."
"No...no..."
They were struggling on the ground with bruises all over their bodies. In less than a few minutes, their "Four Elements" were unable to break through the opponent's defense and were easily counterattacked.
Such an enemy can only be defeated by the leader, right?
"Well...it looks like you haven't exercised enough!"
The 'knight' who was standing on the spot with his sword commented dissatisfiedly. For her, just now was just a warm-up exercise.
(No, no! You are too strong!)
Hearing the lonely soliloquy of a master, Brandish, who had been happily slacking off since the appearance of this 'intruder', rolled his eyes.
This guy has always been the strongest among them since he was a child. Unexpectedly, a few years have passed and he has become more and more outrageous.
As expected, he is the one who inherited Eileen's bloodline.
"Hmph...don't think that you can sit back and relax after defeating us..."
After struggling to stand up again while holding on to his weapon, the fire-wielding swordsman in the "Four Elements" sneered at the group of enemies who showed their ease with ease.
They are indeed no match for this group of people, but as long as the man at the top takes action...
"Our president is a strong man with the name of "Holy Ten"... Just because of you..."
Yes, as long as the leader can take action, he can definitely lead them to victory.
But reality is sometimes so cruel.
——Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three loud noises came from the top floor, and the lingering heat had not dissipated.
At the same time as the sound, a figure with a burnt black appearance, like a rag, fell from the sky.
Looking at the figure that was hit hard on the ground, all the ghost members who recognized the person's identity from his face felt as if someone had their hearts pinched, and then screamed like crazy.
"...Yes, yes, it's Chief Joseph, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, leader, ahhhh——!!!!!"
…
On this day, two pieces of news were created that shocked the entire magical world.
One.
It is the fall of Joseph Pola, one of the "Ten Holy Wizards".
As for the other one...

(what is going on……)
By the time the orange-haired man came to his senses, the snowstorm on Lingfeng Snow Mountain had stopped at some point.
However, what appeared in front of the two of them instead was a black cloaked monster with dark patterned skin and hair hanging down to his waist.
The reason why he thought it was a monster instead of a human was because the other person was just standing there, and Gildarts's back was already soaked with sweat.
Fear turned into depressed self-mockery. Looking at the girl who slowly stepped forward and exuded magic power that surpassed him, Gildarts only had one thought left in his mind.
