It turns out that experience truly matters.
There is a reason Igneel is called the Fire Dragon King.
While Ignia was being whipped to tears, Caesar was having the time of his life.
Just as Selene said, Dracula Mag was incredibly tough.
Even with sixty percent of his power, Caesar could not break through that defense.
Excited, he steadily increased his strength.
When he unleashed his full power, it only caused a surface wound.
That was when Caesar began to use magic.
As the pressure increased, Dracula Mag felt the punches grow heavier.
At first, they barely scratched him.
Now, blocking one punch made his entire arm go numb.
Dracula Mag no longer dared fight at close range.
Instead, he began hurling massive rocks from afar.
"Tsk. Is that all?"
Caesar flashed forward.
He appeared beside Dracula Mag and punched him in the face.
Puff.
Dracula Mag was sent flying.
Blood and broken teeth sprayed everywhere.
"Damn human."
"You dare treat food like this."
Dracula Mag roared.
His body expanded.
He transformed into a dragon nearly one hundred meters long.
A massive claw slammed down at Caesar.
"Now this is better."
Caesar's eyes lit up.
Magic surged through his body.
He punched forward.
Boom.
The rocky armor around the claw cracked.
The limb went numb.
A vicious glint appeared in Dracula Mag's eyes.
A sharp stone spike erupted behind Caesar.
Bang.
The spike shattered.
Caesar was unharmed.
He sneered.
A sneak attack.
"Let's end your tricks."
Light flashed around Caesar.
Boom.
Rita appeared.
Her axe came down.
Dracula Mag screamed.
His right arm shattered.
He retreated in panic.
"Fight properly."
"Stop trying to be clever."
Caesar raised one finger.
"This is the last warning."
"Fight me head on, and I leave you whole."
"Refuse, and you die."
"Who do you think you are."
"You ant."
"Die."
Dracula Mag lost control.
The earth shook violently.
The continent itself trembled.
Caesar slammed his fist into the ground.
"Knocking master."
Everything stopped.
The land fell silent.
Dracula Mag froze.
He could not move his power.
"How is this possible."
Cold light flashed.
The world split in two.
Dracula Mag was cleaved apart.
Caesar stood behind the corpse.
He sighed softly.
"That's it."
"I did not even get satisfied."
Light flashed again.
Caesar returned to his normal form.
He removed Dracula Mag's heart.
Along with Erevseria's heart inside it.
Then he returned to Igneel.
He froze.
A swollen piglet lay on the ground.
Igneel held his belt.
He was panting slightly.
"Finished?"
Caesar glanced at Selene.
She was spotless.
Selene smiled.
"They were both strong."
"Igneel really beat Ignia like a son."
"He is my son."
Igneel muttered.
"That brat hit my face with dirty tricks."
"So I returned the favor."
Caesar nodded.
He looked at the swollen figure.
That had to be Ignia.
If he looked like this in human form.
How bad would it be in dragon form.
Igneel truly did not hold back.
Caesar tied Ignia up.
He would take him back.
Igneel would teach him properly.
Once the rebellion passed, he would be released.
Caesar laughed.
The century quest was complete.
The Dragon of the Magic Array.
Erevseria stared at the bound Ignia.
He was barely recognizable.
Then he looked at Caesar, Selene, and Igneel.
He sighed deeply.
"Thank you."
"I waited a hundred years."
"I waited too long."
"It is finished."
"I gained a lot too."
Caesar smiled.
This journey was worthwhile.
He obtained water wing magic.
He gained the ability to travel between parallel worlds.
He was closer to Ankhseram.
Next, after settling remaining matters, he would travel worlds with Selene.
She would act as his guide.
At the same time.
He needed to choose a location for this year's S Class trial.
If it happened in the original world, the damage would bankrupt him.
Makarov was lenient personally.
But strict officially.
So the best solution was another world.
No interference.
No major losses.
"Oh right."
"This belongs to you."
Caesar returned Erevseria's heart.
Erevseria looked at it quietly.
His expression was complex.
He accepted it.
He tapped his staff on the ground.
"Now then."
"Let us discuss your reward."
"Tell me your wish."
Caesar rolled his eyes internally.
Then he paused.
"I want information."
"All information about the gods."
Erevseria fell silent.
After a moment.
He began to speak.
