Erza saw that the Dragon Slayer General was still trying to dissuade her, and a confident smile appeared on her face: "Even if it's my mother, I believe she will support me. If I abandon my home today and run away, I will never be able to hold my head up again!"
Moreover, she is the princess of the Kingdom of Dorakunov. If she really runs away, how will she face her mother, Irene?
Natsu clashed his fists together, terrifying flames engulfing him, and exclaimed with immense excitement, "I'm on fire!"
Just then, the Red Dragon King Osta felt he had gathered enough magic power and roared out.
"The Roar of the Red Dragon King!"
boom!
The heavens and earth trembled violently, and the crimson magic, like a blazing red sun, engulfed the entire royal city in its falling flames.
The land outside the defensive magic circle was instantly shattered layer by layer, leaving nothing but barrenness under the red storm. The royal city, which spanned hundreds of kilometers and was enveloped by the magic circle, also shook violently, and even began to sink entirely.
"What terrifying magic!"
"Hold on, everyone! Don't let your guard down!"
"Oh no, the magic array is about to break!"
Under everyone's tense gaze, cracks appeared in the defensive magic circle. Even though many mages kept replenishing it with magic power, red light still began to seep in.
More than ten people who were exposed to the red light did not use their magic to resist in time and instantly turned into ashes!
A dazzling red light illuminated the sky, relentlessly attacking the defensive magic circle. Just when all the mages were in despair and about to give up, the terrifying roar finally ceased.
At the same time, the magic array enveloping the kingdom could no longer hold on and shattered like glass into a shower of light.
"It's over!"
The same thought popped into everyone's mind: the Red Dragon King Osta was too strong. If he roared again, many people in the royal city would die!
"Protect Her Highness!"
"Evacuate all citizens of the royal city!"
The Dragon Slayer General gave an order to the Eleventh Dragon, and his entire body surged with immense magical power. His broad wings unfurled, and he instantly transformed into a giant purple dragon, soaring into the sky.
His gaze was icy yet subtly mad. In the instant that the Red Dragon King Osta was astonished, he grabbed him and rushed into the distance.
Natsu, Gajeel, Happy, and Lily were shocked: "The number one Dragon Slayer General is the Purple Dragon?"
Erza hadn't explained the situation to Natsu and the others yet, and there was no time to explain now. She instantly changed into her Dragon Knight outfit and charged towards the two giant dragons.
Number Eleven cried out in alarm, "Your Highness, come back quickly!"
As he chased after her, he quickly unleashed magic, and a massive ice wall rose from the ground to block Erza's path.
"Open it for me!"
Erza roared, and the dragon knight raised his greatsword high. Terrifying magic enveloped the greatsword, and he cleaved it out instantly, shattering the massive ice wall into pieces of ice.
Without the slightest hesitation, she steered her dragon knight and charged out instantly.
As Number Eleven watched Erza disappear into the horizon, her voice became hoarse from shouting in distress. "Your Highness was too impulsive! What should we do?"
At that moment, Natsu put his hand on his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, whether it's the Number One Dragon Slayer General or Erza, I will bring them back safely!"
Number 11 was slightly taken aback: "You..."
"Me too!" Gajeel flew over with Lili's help.
Natsu laughed loudly: "Let's go, let's defeat the real evil dragon!"
"Set off!"
Both the two people and the two cats were very excited and turned into two streaks of light, disappearing into the sky.
Number Eleven looked helpless. He hadn't expected even the princess's companions to be so impulsive. Weren't they afraid at all?
They couldn't even beat him before, but now they're taking the initiative to face the Dragon King, who even the number one Dragon Slayer General can't defeat. How dare they?
His figure transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the royal city. He looked at the mages who had built the kingdom's defensive array and asked, "How long will it take to repair the protective shield?"
An older mage said, "If all the kingdom's array-type mages were to mobilize, it would take at least half an hour!"
Number 11 frowned slightly: "Can't it be any faster?"
"No! That's already the fastest!"
"Then let's get started as soon as possible!"
"General Number Twenty-One, go and tell the people of the kingdom what's going on. Those who want to escape should do so as soon as possible, and those who don't want to escape should stay hidden and not come out!"
"Yes, Lord Number Eleven!"
"Space-type mages and healing-type mages, follow me! We'll catch up with Lord Number One. If we see them in danger, do everything in our power to save them!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
On the other side, the purple dragon embraced the red dragon king Osta, traveled tens of thousands of miles to a desolate desert, pressed him into the ground, and suppressed him firmly beneath its body.
"You are also a dragon, why are you helping humans?"
Osta, the Red Dragon King, roared in anger. He grabbed the purple dragon by the neck with one hand and slammed it aside, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The number one dragon-slaying general got up, grabbed its tail again, and laughed wildly: "What dragon? I am a dragon-slaying mage, the nemesis of your dragon race!"
"What?"
Osta, the Red Dragon King, was shocked. How could a mere human transform into a dragon?
Before he was defeated and went into hiding by Acnologia, he had never seen a Dragon Slayer Mage who could transform into a dragon.
wrong!
Acnologia was a human who transformed into a dragon!
"I see!!"
The Red Dragon King Austa exuded an extremely terrifying killing intent. The Dragon Slayer Mage who had transformed into a dragon was even more despicable than ordinary humans. It was the Dragon Slayer Mage who destroyed his grand ambitions!
If it weren't for the appearance of the Dragon Slayer Mage, he would have already ruled the world!
He spread his wings, and his enormous figure vanished into red mist, instantly reforming behind the First Dragon Slayer General. He grabbed the General's head and slammed it into the ground with terrifying force, almost knocking the First Dragon Slayer General unconscious.
"You piece of trash who hasn't even reached the Dragon King dares to face me? Die!"
The Red Dragon King, Austa, pressed his enormous foot down on the abdomen of the First Dragon Slayer General, suppressing him firmly. He gathered magic power in his mouth, intending to blast him to death!
boom!
Suddenly, the dragon knight arrived in an instant, wielding a greatsword imbued with powerful magic, and slashed fiercely at him, causing a shallow wound.
The Red Dragon King Osta suffered a severe impact and staggered back two steps. He noticed the wound on his back, and a flash of red mist instantly restored him to his original state.
The enormous dragon eyes stared at the dragon knight, seeing through Erza inside. He could sense a familiar yet repulsive aura emanating from her.
He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and asked, "You have his scent on you. What is your relationship with Acnologia?"
The Dragon Slayer General had already stood up again, and said with a sneer, "She is Lord Acnologia's daughter. As long as she suffers even the slightest harm, your nightmare will appear!"
"Osta, the Red Dragon King, don't forget who killed you!"
The Red Dragon King, Osta, threw his head back and laughed: "Acnologia, perhaps he is indeed invincible in the world, but he can never kill me!"
When he was torn apart by Acnologia, he awakened his mist form on the verge of death. As long as his magic power is not exhausted, no one can kill him!
He is far more powerful now than he was four hundred years ago. Even if the black dragon Acnologia were to meet him again, it would be uncertain who would live and who would die!
