Chapter 299 The Death of Hades
Boom!
The massive dragon body, as hard as an iron tower, crashed to the ground.
That visible weight was actually causing the ground to keep collapsing!
Acnologia simply flapped its black dragon wings, and the resulting storm sent Hades and the others flying backward, forcing them to tense their leg muscles to keep their balance.
"Wings filled with despair, pitch-black wings, an overwhelming and irresistible power, and magical fluctuations of extreme evil—this, this monster..."
Under immense pressure, Hades trembled uncontrollably, his voice filled with terror, "The monster recorded in the Book of Revelation that ended the Age of Dragons, Acnologia?!"
With just a glance, he guessed the origin of the enormous creature before him.
Both being black dragons, if Gandora, the Destruction Dragon summoned by Chase, was a symbol of madness and ferocity, then Acnologia is a pure embodiment of evil!
The icy chill emanating from the depths of those pale pupils penetrated to the bone, even causing Hades, who was practicing magic, to feel a chill run down his spine.
However, while Hades recognized Acnologia and knew of its terror, the members of the Demon Heart beside him might not.
"It's those flying four-legged lizards again! They'd better die!!"
Zankro, who had just been defeated by the Dragon Slayer Mage, was already furious. When he saw Acnologia suddenly appear with that arrogant demeanor, he became even more enraged.
Enraged, he clasped his hands together, drew out a giant scythe formed from the black flames of god destruction, bent down and charged towards Acnologia before leaping high into the air.
"Fire God's Onihao!"
The moment it was swung out with force, the black flame scythe rapidly enlarged, drawing a sharp arc in the air.
"Hahaha! So what if you possess immense magical power? A lizard is still a lizard. Just let my God-Slaying Magic slice you in two!"
Seeing Acnologia standing there dumbfounded like a low-IQ creature, Zancro burst into wild laughter.
Then, the next second, his smile froze.
Midon!
The Flame God's Scythe struck Acnologia's thick neck squarely, and apart from the sparks that flew out, there was no further movement.
The god-slaying magic that could easily cut through steel was actually...
It can't even budge the opponent's scales?!
Zancro was shocked, but finally regained some of his composure from his rage.
Unfortunately, the character he encountered this time was not as merciful as Natsu.
As casually as swatting a buzzing mosquito next to his ear, Acnologia extended his dragon claw and gently slapped Zankro!
The terrifying force exploded with a muffled sonic boom, and Zankro didn't even have time to scream before turning into a cloud of blood mist and dying on the spot!
Compared to his original mindset of "playing with the ants" when he arrived at Tenrou Island, Acnologia now seems quite irritable and shows no mercy.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!" Hua Yuan shouted in alarm.
The bodies of Godslayer Mages are forged through countless trials and tribulations, possessing formidable resilience. Yet, even someone as formidable as Zankro couldn't withstand a single, casual blow from his opponent.
The gap between the two sides is simply too large!
That is an existence that humans simply cannot defeat!
Upon realizing this, the elite mages of the Demon Heart, who were protected by Hades, were immediately terrified and fled in all directions, completely losing their will to fight.
"These cowardly bastards—"
Rastiros's face was terribly grim. As he desperately mobilized his magic power, he looked at Hades and said, "Guild Master Hades, you go first. I'll hold off this monster."
"I'll go with you!" Hua Yuan stood firmly by his side, his expression resolute. Despite their terrible deeds and ruthless nature, these two were surprisingly loyal.
To them, Hades, who gave them lost magic and a new life, was not only a god of the "Great Magic World," but also a father figure!
hum!
The Arc of Manifestation and the magic circle that descended at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) shone brightly as Lastiros and Huayuan charged fearlessly toward Acnologia.
However, even Fairy Tail's strongest magic, "We Are Fairy Tail," which surpasses the three great magics, was ineffective against Acnologia.
How could their struggles, or rather, their sudden emergence, possibly create a miracle?
Acnologia merely made a slight move, yet he tore the sacred beast manifested by Lastiros in two along with him, piercing through the steel-like chest of the Huayuan!
Immediately afterwards, high-concentration energy accumulated deep within its gaping maw, transforming into a terrifying magical beam that shot out.
The light cannon sliced through the earth, swept past Hades, and exploded into a devastating mushroom cloud behind him!
None of the demon heart mages who scattered and fled escaped unscathed; they vanished into thin air in an instant!
Witnessing the horrific scene unfolding before his eyes, Hades was filled with despair, completely losing his former swagger as the leader of the strongest dark guild.
From Acnologia's arrival to Zankro's attack, Lastiros and Huayuan's desperate resistance, and then to the complete annihilation of the Demon Heart, the whole process was too fast, leaving no time to react.
It clearly won't let anyone present go!
"How dare you, how dare you go to such lengths, I—"
Hades, disheveled and filled with grief and rage, veins bulging on his forehead, strode towards Acnologia, vowing, "I will make you pay a terrible price!!"
A raging, violent magic roared out, and with his heart gone, he used the last bit of life force in his broken body as fuel to unleash all the potential he had accumulated over a century!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Countless magical chains flew out from the magical storm, tightly binding Acnologia's massive and powerful dragon body.
The dense array of Amaterasu magic circles lit up, and the magic circles interacted with each other and connected into one, far exceeding the scale of the "Amaterasu Hundred Styles"!
Hades' skin cracked all over, from which bright red blood continuously oozed out, only to be evaporated by the high temperature, forming a thick blood mist.
Even as his life was rapidly fading, he endured the excruciating pain and slowly raised his arm to complete the final steps.
"Die, Ura Amaterasu—Senshiki!"
boom!
The impact spread outwards, the wind howled, and the terrifying magic power accumulated within all the magic arrays instantly exploded, bursting out a high-concentration magic light sphere that seemed to be able to distort and shatter even space!
"Heh, heh heh."
Amidst endless despair, a distinctly mocking, anthropomorphic laugh suddenly rang out.
Under Hades' horrified gaze, Acnologia stepped out from the depths of the magical sphere, which was powerful enough to destroy everything, and slowly opened its blood-red maw covered with fangs, taking a gentle breath.
Whoosh whoosh.
The energy of the magic orb immediately slipped out of control, swirling wildly into Acnologia's chest cavity before vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye!
"The Amaterasu Thousand Style, imbued with the power of inner magic, was thus..."
Hades felt a chill run through his body, and he truly understood what despair meant.
Having lost his will to fight, he could no longer resist the backlash of the magic, his body went limp, and he collapsed to his knees.
The next second, Acnologia's claws struck, squeezing him in the palm of his hand as if he were a pitiful worm.
The scalding airflow gushing from the gap in the dragon's mouth rushed towards Hades, who came face to face with those pale, lifeless eyes.
"The dragon's aura has vanished."
"Where is the dragon? Where is it?!"
Acnologia seemed somewhat delirious, speaking haltingly, but his intense hatred for "dragons" was incredibly strong.
Upon hearing this, Hades' pupils contracted sharply.
dragon?
Was this monster attracted by the aura of the dragon summoned by that imp?
So that's how it is! No wonder Acnologia, as recorded in the Book of Revelation, suddenly appeared in the world!
Recalling the massive commotion caused by the Destroyer Dragon overturning the entire forest, and combining this with the scattered information about Acnologia, the world-destroying dragon, Hades quickly pieced together the whole story.
"Aaaaaah!!"
The excruciating pain of his bones shattering brought him back to reality.
Acnologia tightened his grip: "Answer me, where is the vanished dragon?!"
"Heh, heh heh, hahahaha!"
Sensing the other party's urgent and restless emotions, Hades was taken aback at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing, his gaze sharpened, and he spat all the blood that had accumulated in his throat onto Acunorokia's face.
"If you want to know, go home and ask your parents, old man—"
"No, I can't, tell you!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pillar of dark light shot into the sky.
Hades, with his strong sense of pride, refused to die a pathetic death at the hands of his opponent like an insect. So he burned his last drop of blood and unleashed the final dance of the "demon"!
Under the impact of the dark beam of light, the dragon's tightly clenched claws actually loosened!
For the first time since it appeared, Acnologia showed a strange expression on its face—although it was quite insignificant, its palm did indeed feel a stinging sensation.
This is the first time in so many years since the end of the dragon age that a human has been able to "hurt" himself!
"Heh, heh heh, even a monster like you bleeds red."
Seeing the blood trickling from the other's palm, Hades laughed with satisfaction.
Starting from the legs and feet, the broken body suspended in mid-air gradually turned into dust and dissipated.
In the last second of his life, Hades' entire life flashed before his eyes.
Birth, adventure, meeting Mavis, founding Fairy Tail, becoming the second guild master and guiding the guild's direction, leaving Fairy Tail to travel the world, witnessing the abyss of magic and falling into darkness, and building Devil Heart.
Finally, the image freezes on Mebius's positive and radiant smile.
In this way, we will have no more debts between us, Fairy Tail.
A gentle breeze swept across the battlefield, carrying away all traces of this great mage who had dominated the magical world for many years.
Roar! ! !
Having received no message from the dragon, Acnologia roared furiously to the sky, the terrifying shockwave shaking the entire earth and announcing the end of the dark guild, Heart of the Demon.
