After sending the dragon that had half-stepped out of the Eclipse Gate flying back, Kenichi waited right in front of the Eclipse Gate.
He was waiting for the next dragon to appear.
But nearly a minute passed, and there was no movement from within the Eclipse Gate.
Kenichi also wanted to just charge into the Eclipse Gate, but this Eclipse Gate was quite unstable.
Who knows which timeline he would end up in if he entered.
After all, Future Rogue, Future Lucy, and the dragons from 400 years ago all came out of this Eclipse Gate.
"Those dragons probably don't dare to come out anymore. Let's just close this gate!"
Erza, seeing no more dragons emerging from the Eclipse Gate, spoke to Kenichi.
"Wait one more minute. If no more dragons appear, then we'll close it!"
Kenichi stared at the Eclipse Gate as he replied to Erza.
"Uuhh-"
Princess Hisui, Arcadios, and the others over there broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Kenichi's words.
Others were desperately eager to close that Eclipse Gate as soon as possible.
But here was Kenichi, guarding the Eclipse Gate, waiting for dragons to appear.
Although Princess Hisui and Arcadios felt somewhat dissatisfied, all the dragons that had emerged from the Eclipse Gate had been killed by Kenichi.
Given Kenichi's terrifying strength, no matter how dissatisfied Princess Hisui and Arcadios were, they didn't dare say anything.
Tap-
Not long after Kenichi finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from within the Eclipse Gate.
Immediately after, a massive black shadow slowly materialized from the dazzling light of the Eclipse Gate.
"It's here!"
Seeing the constantly solidifying huge black shadow, Kenichi raised an eyebrow.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Kenichi and Erza, a dragon covered in steel scales stepped out of the Eclipse Gate.
Kenichi looked at the steel dragon but did not launch an attack.
He had finally waited for a fearless dragon to come out of the Eclipse Gate.
If he sent its corpse flying back like the previous dragon, the observing dragons on the other side of the Eclipse Gate might not come out again.
If no more dragons came out, the Dragon Control Magic attribute he had collected from Future Rogue earlier would have no use.
"Dragon Control Magic!"
Looking at the steel dragon before him, Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately activated the Dragon Control Magic attribute.
Bzzzt-
As the Dragon Control Magic attribute activated, an invisible wave of air, like ripples, surged out from Kenichi's body.
Soon, the ripples spread to the steel dragon.
At that moment, Kenichi established a connection with the steel dragon.
And a lot of information about this steel dragon appeared in his mind.
'So this is Dragon Control Magic?!'
Looking at the information appearing in his mind, Kenichi's expression shifted slightly.
Then he looked up at the steel dragon in front of him and focused his mind.
In the next second, the steel dragon stepped forward and walked towards Kenichi.
"Kenichi!"
Seeing the steel dragon walking towards Kenichi, but Kenichi remaining motionless, Erza's pretty face changed slightly, and she immediately called out to warn him.
"It's fine!"
Kenichi said to Erza with a smile.
Then, under the astonished gazes of Erza, Princess Hisui, and the others, the steel dragon stopped in front of Kenichi, assumed a humble posture, and extended its hand, as if to receive Kenichi.
"What in the world is…"
Seeing Kenichi jump onto the steel dragon's claw, Erza was first filled with confusion.
But soon she remembered that Future Rogue had magic that could control dragons.
"I see. You learned that magic from Future Rogue, didn't you?"
Erza looked at Kenichi, a full smile on her fair, pretty face.
"Want to come up and try?"
After jumping onto the steel dragon's broad back, Kenichi looked at Erza and said with a smile.
"Playing on a dragon's back? You really know how to have fun!"
Erza's pretty face flushed slightly as she gave Kenichi a playful glare, then made a few leaps to reach Kenichi's side.
Under Kenichi's control, the steel dragon's wings on its back vigorously flapped.
Immediately, its massive body, carrying Kenichi and Erza, flew up into the sky.
"This…"
Princess Hisui and Arcadios watched Kenichi and Erza riding the dragon away, completely dumbfounded.
"Roar-"
After Kenichi and Erza flew into the sky on the steel dragon, another giant dragon walked out of the Eclipse Gate.
Princess Hisui and Arcadios, who had just begun to feel slightly relieved, saw the dragon emerging from the Eclipse Gate, and their hearts leaped into their throats again.
"Kenichi, another dragon came out of the Eclipse Gate!"
Erza, standing on the steel dragon's back and looking at the dragon below, immediately said to Kenichi.
"Let's rest for a while. We'll leave this dragon to Master and the others!"
Kenichi looked at Makarov and the group of mages who had already reached the front of the Eclipse Gate and said with a smile.
"Everyone, quickly stop that dragon from coming out!"
While Kenichi was speaking, hundreds of mages simultaneously launched an attack on the dragon emerging from the Eclipse Gate.
With their previous experience fighting dragons, they soon managed to suppress the dragon that was about to step out of the Eclipse Gate and force it back...
Then, with the help of the two Celestial Spirit Mages, Lucy and Yukino, they completely closed the Eclipse Gate.
The moment the heavy gates of the Eclipse Gate shut, the area in front of it instantly erupted.
All the mages cheered.
"We won!"
"This war, we are the victors!"
"We defeated the dragons!"
Watching the crowd's cheers, Lucy, clad in the black robe, couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
"Lucy?!"
Seeing Future Lucy crying, Wendy asked with concern.
Hearing Wendy, Mirajane, Lucy, and the others also turned their attention to Future Lucy.
"I'm fine, just a bit moved."
Future Lucy wiped the tears from her cheeks and said with a smile.
Wendy, Mirajane, and the others understood why Future Lucy was crying.
After all, they had learned from Future Lucy that in the future, almost everyone was killed by dragons, and the entire world was occupied by dragons.
Now, seeing the humans defeat the dragon horde, Future Lucy was naturally touched by the scene.
"This way, everything in Lucy's future should be restored, right!"
Happy looked at Future Lucy and said excitedly.
"Yes, everything should be restored. Thank you, everyone!"
Future Lucy said with a smile.
In the view of Happy and Future Lucy, the future was built upon the present.
Since the dragon horde in the present was eliminated, then the dragons in the future timeline should also cease to exist.
But Future Lucy, Happy, and the others didn't know that the future timeline Future Lucy came from and this current timeline were not on the same line.
They were two parallel timelines, so changing one timeline would not affect the other.
"No need to thank us. We were just protecting our own future. Besides, we didn't really help much, it was all thanks to Kenichi-nii."
Hearing Future Lucy's words, Wendy said with a smile.
"By the way, where did Kenichi go? I haven't seen him since earlier."
Gray scanned the surroundings and, not seeing Kenichi, asked.
"Kenichi? I saw him and Erza earlier, riding a dragon, flying up into the sky!"
Natsu looked up at the sky and said.
"Leaving at a time like this? What did they go off to do?"
Happy also asked, looking puzzled.
However, Mirajane seemed to have thought of something, a full smile spreading across her fair, pretty face.
