Chapter 476 - Who Devoured the Power of the Water God Dragon?

"Separate his power?"

Igneel raised an eyebrow, his eyes carrying a hint of disbelief.

"Yes, using my Separation and Enchantment Magic…"

Irene nodded lightly upon hearing this.

"You mean you can use Separation and Enchantment Magic to separate this enormous power of mine from my body, thereby turning me into an ordinary person?! Is this really something an Enchantment Mage can do? Even the high-ranking Enchantment Mages I encountered in the past could not separate the power of an existence at the level of a God Dragon, right?!"

The 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia was shocked after hearing Irene's words.

Mercphobia had also lived on the continent of Ishgar and the Northern Continent, Guiltina for more than four hundred years. During these hundreds of years, Mercphobia had encountered quite a few beings capable of using Enchantment Magic, among whom there was no shortage of high-ranking Enchantment Mages…

But among the countless Mages who used Enchantment Magic, not a single one could use the power of Enchantment Magic to directly affect the God Dragons themselves. Therefore, Mercphobia was so shocked after hearing Irene's words.

"Irene, have you already reached the level where even the magic power of a God Dragon can be separated?"

"Separating the power of a God Dragon, if I'm not mistaken, this should have already surpassed the limit of Separation and Enchantment Magic, right? How did you do it?"

'Fire God Dragon' Ignia's brows furrowed tightly. He discovered that Irene, who was always so quiet, was perhaps even stronger than he had imagined. He had somewhat underestimated this woman named Irene. Perhaps within the Fairy Tail Guild, Irene was the one who was the most deeply hidden and the most dangerous of all.

"As you said, normal Separation and Enchantment Magic cannot strip away the power of a God Dragon. Even Separation and Enchantment Magic at the extreme level would have difficulty completely stripping away the power of a God Dragon…"

"But, in other words, as long as I master Separation and Enchantment Magic beyond the extreme level, then even against God Dragons, or existences at the level of Dragon Kings, I can directly activate Separation and Enchantment Magic on them and completely separate the power within their bodies. What I said is correct, right?!"

Irene held her staff, smiling as she spoke to the group of God Dragons in front of her who were wearing shocked expressions, looking as if they had little experience.

It was as if, in Irene's eyes, possessing Separation and Enchantment Magic beyond the extreme level was merely a matter of her saying so.

It was just like how Irene said she wanted to advance further in her cultivation of Separation and Enchantment Magic, and then she really did advance another step in her cultivation of Separation and Enchantment Magic…

"Separation and Enchantment Magic beyond the extreme level…"

"Don't talk about accomplishing such an abnormal thing so casually!"

At this, the corner of Ignia's eye twitched slightly. Even among the dragons, including dragons such as 'Sky Dragon' Grandeeney who could use Enchantment Magic, no one had ever mastered Separation and Enchantment Magic beyond the extreme level. Without a doubt, the Irene before them was the strongest Enchantment Mage in the history of the world of Earth-land, without exception.

"Ah~"

"Don't be surprised. This is merely a very ordinary, very normal thing…"

"After all, I have lived from the war of the Dragon King Festival until now just like you. How could my Separation and Enchantment Magic possibly fail to improve even a little after four hundred years?!"

Irene looked at the shocked Ignia and spoke with a smile.

"Is this really normal?"

"This is not normal at all, is it?!"

For a moment, Mercphobia and Ignia, the two God Dragons, looked at each other. At this moment, all they felt in their hearts was shock at Irene's words.

"…"

Compared to the flustered Mercphobia and Ignia, Acnologia appeared much calmer.

After all, as the Black Dragon, possessing almost complete magic immunity, he had no need to care about Irene's Enchantment and Separation Magic.

Although Irene's displayed strength was astonishing, even among the levels of Dragon Kings and God Dragons, she was an existence at the very top and absolutely not mediocre, she still had not surpassed the range of God Dragons and Dragon Kings.

As long as she did not surpass the level of God Dragons and Dragon Kings and reach a realm unprecedented in history, no one could use magic to affect Acnologia.

"Alright, don't resist. You don't need to panic either, because very soon, I can completely separate the magic power within your body."

As Irene spoke, she waved the staff in her hand. Immediately, streams of Separation Magic landed on Mercphobia's body.

"This is…"

"It's truly surprising. I can feel that the power within my body is really being stripped away. You weren't deceiving me…"

Mercphobia felt Irene's Separation Magic being used on him and revealed a trace of surprise.

"Is it actually true?"

Ignia muttered softly, while feeling somewhat flustered inside.

Because… since Irene could separate the Dragon Power within Mercphobia's body, it also meant that Irene could likewise separate the Dragon Power within his body. This was truly terrifying.

"This woman was hiding her strength. I didn't expect her to have this trick hidden up her sleeve."

Besides Ignia, Mercphobia, and Acnologia, 'Moon Dragon God' Selene was also shocked by Irene's strength at this moment.

"Damn it, if that's the case, when Irene fought me in the past, she actually wasn't using her full strength?!"

Selene's pupils trembled. She was somewhat upset inside at this moment. When Irene fought her in the past, she had actually never used her full strength. What did this mean?

It meant that Irene believed the strength of 'Moon Dragon God' Selene was insufficient to force out all of Irene's power. Even without using her full strength, she could still beat Selene senseless…

"…"

In response, Evan shook his head. He was not at all surprised that Irene could separate the power of the 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia. After all, in the original work, Irene could even spend some time separating the magic furnace within Mavis's body that possessed almost 'infinite magic power,' the greatest magic hidden by the Fairy Tail Guild, Fairy Heart. The mere power of the 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia, no matter how powerful it was, would not exceed Fairy Heart within Mavis's body in terms of quantity.

"Um, Miss, I wonder how I should address you?"

After confirming that Irene had not lied to him, Mercphobia looked seriously at Irene and softly asked for Irene's name.

"Irene Belserion."

Upon hearing this, Irene had no intention of concealing anything from Mercphobia and directly told Mercphobia her name.

"Irene Belserion? Belserion is a Dragon name. It sounds familiar…"

Mercphobia was slightly stunned after hearing Irene's name. Irene's name seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Especially Irene's surname, Belserion. That was a naming style belonging to their Dragon race. Belserion symbolized wisdom among their Dragon race.

"The lady before me indeed deserves the name Belserion."

At this, Mercphobia could not help praising Irene in his heart as he looked at her.

"Then, Miss Irene, may I ask how you intend to use this portion of my magic power after separating it?"

"If I simply let this magic power return to nature, I'm afraid it will cause enormous destruction beyond our expectations!"

"With my current magic power, if it returned to the ocean all at once, I'm afraid it would immediately make the ocean violent! With the magnitude of this magic power, the tsunami it could create would probably swallow the entire Northern Continent, Guiltina, and might even affect several other continents…"

"If it were absorbed by someone with ulterior motives and then utilized, it would not be impossible to return the entire world of Earth-land to a vast ocean!"

"So I hope, Miss Irene, that you can honestly tell me how you intend to dispose of this powerful magic power of mine…"

Mercphobia asked Irene seriously, seemingly as long as Irene's answer did not suit his wishes, he would refuse Irene's Separation. Even if Irene had mastered Separation and Enchantment Magic beyond the extreme level, if a God Dragon did not cooperate, Irene would still be unable to successfully separate the power within Mercphobia's body…

"Hehe, interesting~"

Irene's brown eyes seriously stared at Mercphobia for a while before she revealed a slight smile. She could see that Mercphobia was serious.

"Please, tell me. This is more important than obtaining a peaceful life for me."

Mercphobia slightly bowed toward Irene and spoke respectfully.

Although Mercphobia had indeed always longed to become an ordinary person, he still had not forgotten his responsibility as the God of the Sea. He could not allow his magic power to endanger all around him!

Actually, in Mercphobia's heart, the most perfect solution would be to let himself die here, and then let the soul that had abandoned his physical body take this enormous magic power of his and head together to the place where souls should go…

In the end, the World's Origin would deal with this enormous power of his.

But now that there was a better solution that could achieve both goals, after thinking it through carefully, Mercphobia ultimately chose a path that seemed slightly more selfish…

Yes, he planned to survive, but the premise of his survival was that his power would not become a disaster that endangered the world.

"I didn't expect you to be such a responsible person. No wonder the residents of this town all call you Lord Water God~"

After hearing Mercphobia's words, Irene revealed an extraordinarily beautiful smile. Irene liked responsible people…

To be honest, it was only now that she was no longer so annoyed by Mercphobia. If Irene would have helped Mercphobia before because of Evan, then now Irene would help Mercphobia because she herself intended to fulfill the wish of this Dragon who had obtained a human heart before her.

In Irene's eyes, the current Mercphobia could already be said to be a Dragon of the coexistence faction.

"Rest assured! Your magic power absolutely will not be used to bring disaster to anyone…"

"I will give this magic power to someone capable of bearing this power."

Irene told Mercphobia how she intended to deal with his magic power.

"Thank you… Then I have no objections. I will cooperate with you in separating this magic power from my body."

After hearing Irene's words, Mercphobia's originally serious face slowly relaxed, and he once again slightly bowed toward Irene, expressing his respect for her.

"Very good…"

Irene lightly nodded upon hearing Mercphobia's words.

"Um, Irene, do you think I'm suitable?"

Just as Irene was concentrating on manipulating her Separation and Enchantment Magic, hoping to quickly separate the magic power within Mercphobia's body, Ignia approached Irene's side and nervously asked.

"Suitable for what?"

Irene's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Ignia's words.

"Hm?"

This time, even Evan, who had remained silent all along, raised his eyebrows and looked coldly at Ignia. There seemed to be killing intent hidden within those calm eyes that ordinary people could not perceive.

"Of course, to become the host of the magic power within Mercphobia!"

"If I obtain Mercphobia's magic power, I'll truly become invincible under heaven, right?!"

Ignia excitedly spoke after hearing Irene's words.

In Ignia's view, in the entire Northern Continent, Guiltina, only he was qualified to use Mercphobia's power…

"Hehe…"

"You should know that Mercphobia's magic power contains a large amount of Water Attribute. If this magic power containing a large amount of Water Attribute collides with the Fire Attribute magic power within your body, do you think your body can withstand it?"

"By then, I'm afraid you might become the first Dragon to explode and die because you possess too much magic power…"

"Even if you would die because of it, you still want to obtain this magic power? Little Ignia."

Irene looked at Ignia with her brown eyes and asked coldly.

"Uh…"

Ignia could only take half a step back after hearing this. Although he really wanted to persuade Irene a little more, he estimated that Irene would not give Mercphobia's power to him.

At the same time, in Ignia's view, what Irene said indeed had a tiny bit of reason.

"As for how I will deal with Mercphobia's magic power…"

"I will Enchant Mercphobia's power onto Evan, and let Evan control Mercphobia's power!"

"I think there should be no one among us more suitable than Evan to control this power. After all, except for Evan, the magic power within all of our bodies has already reached a saturated state. Even if this magic power were Enchanted onto us for a short time, we would not be able to retain it. Even if our bodies did not explode and die because of excessive magic power, this magic power that we cannot bear would sooner or later be completely consumed from our bodies…"

"But Evan is different. His potential is far from exhausted. With this power, Evan's strength will not only increase explosively. Once Evan's body has completely become accustomed to this sensation, even after Mercphobia's power is exhausted, Evan will still be able to master all of Mercphobia's abilities…"

While separating the magic power within Mercphobia's body, Irene explained to everyone around her.

"I have no objections~"

Selene was the first to take a side.

"Whatever!"

Acnologia had never been interested in other people's power.

"…"

As Selene and Acnologia expressed their positions one after another, Irene, Evan, Selene, and Acnologia all looked toward the silent Ignia.

"Uh…"

Ignia fell silent for a moment, while his heart went 'thump.'

He always felt like he was being targeted…

"Could it be that the scheme between me and that Dracula Magna guy has been seen through by them?!"

Suddenly, Ignia seemed to realize something, and his expression abruptly changed.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible…"

"My scheme is flawless. There is absolutely no way any problem could appear."

Ignia then repeatedly shook his head. He was confident that such a perfect plan of his could absolutely not be seen through.

That was a plan that had consumed countless brain cells of his to create. Although it was short, the shorter a plan was, the more concise and powerful it was. There was absolutely no flaw to be found! Because the plan itself looked like a gigantic hole…

"Boom!"

About ten minutes later, with Mercphobia's cooperation, Irene successfully completely separated the magic power within Mercphobia's body! In an instant, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color, and a deep-blue magic power floated in the sky under Irene's control.

"Evan, are you ready?"

After completely separating Mercphobia's magic power, Irene looked at Evan and asked.

"Already prepared."

Evan lightly nodded and replied.

"Good…"

Irene nodded, directly Enchanting this magic power into Evan's body.

"Boom!!"

The next second, countless streams of blue gas enveloped Evan.

If the body were compared to a container, the containers of Irene, Ignia, and the others were all in a saturated state, already unable to contain more magic power…

But Evan was different. Because Evan had raised his Dragon Slayer Magic to Level 16, Evan's container had increased to a level sufficient to contain Level 16 magic power. However, because Evan's magic power was only a pitiful Level 14, Evan's body had always been in a state of extreme lack of magic power…

But as Mercphobia's magic power poured into Evan's body, Evan's body, which was extremely deficient in magic power, was greatly nourished for a moment.

Evan's body was like a bottomless desert, and it quickly devoured Mercphobia's magic power completely!

"Boom!!"

Then, accompanied by bursts of rumbling sounds, endless energy was released from within Evan's body. This was one of the side effects Evan experienced while fusing Mercphobia's power.

"My magic power has increased…"

After a long while, the power scattered throughout the heavens and earth slowly dissipated! At the same time, Evan also opened his eyes. He had completely devoured Mercphobia's power…

At the same time, Evan looked toward the system panel within his mind.

Magic:

Magic Power: LV15 (+)

Yes, Evan's magic power had undoubtedly also increased to Level 15 at this moment. However, what was regrettable was that even though Evan had devoured the power of the 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia, his magic power still had not reached the Level 16 evaluated by the system. Clearly, Level 16 magic power was by no means something that could be reached merely by adding together the magic power of two God Dragons…

Even so, Evan was confident that, in terms of magic power alone, he had already stood at the very peak within the God Dragon domain of the world of Earth-land, without exception.

Of course, besides the increase in magic power, perhaps because of the power of the Water God Dragon, Evan's Dragon Slayer Magic had also undergone a certain change.

(Dragon Slayer) Zoan-Type Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Model: Azure Dragon Form, Water God Dragon Mode: LV16 (+)

The suffix Water God Dragon Mode had been added to Evan's Devil Fruit, after the original Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast Model: Azure Dragon Form!

It seemed that the power of the Water God Dragon and Evan's Fish-Fish Fruit had fused with unexpectedly perfect results. It seemed that in Evan's systemized definition, the Water God Dragon was also a… fish, perhaps.

"With my current magic power, it can support my Level 16 Dragon Slayer Magic at full firepower for about an hour! This is indeed an incredible increase, but I'm still far from being able to drive my Level 16 Dragon Slayer power without restriction~ From this, it seems that the gap between Level 16 and Level 15 is even greater than I imagined…"

Evan felt the surging power within his body and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Before I knew it, I've become even stronger again!"

Evan raised his head and looked at the sky, speaking to himself inwardly.

The reason he, Evan, had become so powerful was all thanks to his unremitting efforts over the years!

"You actually devoured Mercphobia's power completely?! Is your potential limitless?"

Ignia's eyelids twitched violently as he looked at Evan. He was now beginning to wonder whether his perfect plan was going to fail…

It seemed that the plan did not look quite so perfect anymore…

"Even more unfathomable!"

At the same time, Selene also gave her evaluation of Evan at this moment.

"Haha~"

Compared to the surprise of Ignia and Selene, Irene merely smiled lightly at Evan, as if in Irene's eyes, Evan completely devouring the power of the Water God Dragon was something entirely natural.

"I hope you can use my power to do some things that benefit the world."

After Evan completely received the power of the Water God Dragon, Mercphobia, who had already become an ordinary person, looked at Evan with sincerity in his eyes and spoke softly.

"Rest assured! What we are going to do will absolutely be something that benefits the world…"

Evan looked at Mercphobia with a smile on his face and spoke softly.

"Mm!"

Mercphobia lightly nodded upon hearing this, and then said nothing more.

"Finally, please allow me to thank you once again for your help, Miss Irene! Thank you for fulfilling my long-cherished wish and turning me into an ordinary human."

After receiving Evan's assurance, Mercphobia turned his head toward Irene and once again thanked her.

"No need to do this…"

"Originally, we were only helping each other for what we each needed!"

"I merely found a solution that made everyone happy~"

"Just live peacefully with that little human girl in this town! Everything from now on will have nothing to do with you! Enjoy your peace~"

Irene lightly smiled at Mercphobia while looking at the sleeping girl lying on the sofa behind Mercphobia.

"Mm!"

At this, Mercphobia lightly nodded toward Irene and said nothing more.

Mercphobia himself was not good at communicating with others. The words he had spoken with Evan and the others today had already exceeded the sum of everything he had said to humans other than Kalmira during these four hundred years.

At the same time…

Evan also looked at the girl named Kalmira lying on the sofa.

The girl had fair skin and was young. Although she was very beautiful, she had not reached the level of being a calamity to the nation. Compared with the devastatingly beautiful Irene and Selene, there was an enormous gap!

Just by looking at her appearance, Kalmira did not allow Evan to see anything special about her. Yet this seemingly ordinary girl in Evan's eyes, whose strength was not particularly powerful either, had conquered the 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia, causing Mercphobia to leave the neutral faction and enter the coexistence faction…

"What kind of Mary Sue novel protagonist is this?!"

After staring at Kalmira for a while, Evan suddenly could not help laughing, silently complaining inwardly.

Evan recalled the information about Kalmira that he had obtained from Mercphobia's few words, and his mind immediately wrote an extremely classic Mary Sue power fantasy novel…

Evan had even thought of the title of the novel, "Regarding the Matter of Me Encountering the Water God Lord After Suffering a Shipwreck at Sea and Making Him Fall in Love with Me…"

Thinking of this, Evan laughed again. He looked at Mercphobia and sincerely blessed him: "Mercphobia, I wish you happiness and joy in your future life~"

"Hm?!" At this, Mercphobia was stunned at first, then lightly nodded toward Evan. "Thank you for your blessing. I will be happy~"

"Then we won't disturb you any further!"

"Everyone, the Water God Dragon has been dealt with. Let's go deal with the next God Dragon!"

After receiving Mercphobia's response, Evan lightly smiled and then spoke to everyone beside him.

At the same time, the Water God Dragon column in the mission system within Evan's mind had also changed from (Severe Depression) to (Ability disappeared, has become an ordinary person, state poses no threat).

"Good!"

After hearing Evan's words, Selene lightly waved her hand, and immediately a teleportation gate appeared before everyone.

"Until we meet again!"

Evan turned sideways toward Mercphobia as he spoke, then turned and entered the teleportation gate.

As Evan entered the teleportation gate, Irene, Selene, Ignia, and Acnologia followed closely behind…

"If it is them, perhaps they really can defeat those lofty gods?!"

Mercphobia looked at Evan and the others who were leaving and thought silently in his heart.

"Lord Water God…"

Just as Mercphobia was looking at the dissipating teleportation gate, deep in thought.

Kalmira, who was lying on the sofa behind Mercphobia, suddenly woke up. She sat up from the sofa and loudly called out.

"Kalmira, you're awake?!"

Upon hearing this, Mercphobia looked toward the girl.

"Lord Water God!"

The moment Kalmira saw Mercphobia, she immediately stood up from her seat, desperately ran in front of Mercphobia, and then burrowed into Mercphobia's embrace.

"Kalmira, I have already become a mortal. Don't call me Lord Water God anymore. Perhaps the current me is even inferior to an ordinary person…"

Mercphobia looked at Kalmira in his arms and spoke softly.

"That doesn't matter!"

"As long as Lord Mercphobia is still alive, he will forever be our Lord Water God!"

Kalmira hugged her beloved Mercphobia, tears continuously falling.

Before she knew it, her tears had soaked Mercphobia's chest…

"Hehe~"

Mercphobia listened to Kalmira's words from within his embrace and revealed a faint smile.

"I really can't do anything about you…"

"Call me whatever you want, as you please!"

For a moment, the aura of a domineering CEO was released from Mercphobia's body.

At the same time, on the other side…

The central city of the Northern Continent, Guiltina, Drasil!

Accompanied by a teleportation gate, Evan and the others appeared in this infinitely prosperous city.

"This place…"

Irene had just stepped onto the ground when her eyes narrowed slightly, because she sensed the boundless Dragon Power spreading throughout the city.

"Interesting~"

Irene suddenly smiled. This was the first time she had encountered something so interesting.

"Looks like you've already sensed it, Irene~"

"That's right. The place we are in right now is on the right hand of the Wood God Dragon Aldoron!"

"That idiot ate himself too big~"

"So much so that that fool himself can no longer completely control his own body."

After hearing Irene's words, Selene spoke with a light laugh.

"On the right hand? The diameter of this town is more than ten kilometers, right?"

Evan raised an eyebrow after hearing Selene's words.

"Yes…"

"Moreover, there are five towns like this on Aldoron's body! One each on the left and right hands, and three on his back…"

Selene lightly nodded and spoke.

"Five…"

Evan lightly nodded, simultaneously gaining a rough estimate of Aldoron's size.

"In any case, let's try negotiating first!"

"Ask Aldoron whether that guy is willing to be sealed by us."

Evan had no intention of immediately starting a fight. After the precedent of the 'Water God Dragon' Mercphobia, perhaps the Wood God Dragon Aldoron was also a Dragon of the coexistence faction.

"That guy absolutely won't be willing to be sealed by us~"

"Unlike us, Aldoron is a completely human-eating faction through and through~"

Ignia shook his head after hearing Evan's words.

"Have you seen these people living freely in the town?"

"They aren't humans! They're merely nutrients for that guy Aldoron…"

Ignia told Evan what he knew about Aldoron.

"I noticed it from the beginning. The life force within these 'humans' is excessively vigorous. So that's what's going on?!"

After hearing Ignia's words, Evan tilted his head and had already begun loosening his muscles.

"Then what do you plan to do, Evan?"

Irene looked at Evan and asked.

"Do I even need to say it? We haven't used the Fairy Tail way to resolve a battle in a long time…"

As Evan spoke, he revealed a smile.

"Starting the Dragon Slaying?"

Acnologia, who had been listless all along, suddenly revealed a smile after hearing Evan's words. Terrifying magic power like an abyss erupted from his body.

"Then first, let me reveal Aldoron's secret to everyone!"

"The five towns we are in were not built by Aldoron without reason. There is a reason!"

"These five towns can be regarded as Aldoron's five hearts. Each town has a crystal used to gather energy. Only after all five crystals are destroyed will Aldoron be completely awakened…"

Selene stood in front of Evan and the others and softly explained.

"Simply put, we just need to tear down all five towns, right?"

Acnologia looked at Selene and asked.

"Uh, you can put it that way!"

Selene was stunned for a moment before nodding.

"Then what are we waiting for? Just do it!"

Acnologia revealed a smile upon hearing this.

"Roar!!"

The moment Acnologia finished speaking, he transformed into a black Dragon and flew toward the sky.

"If you guys are too slow, then just give all the remaining cities to me!"

Acnologia roared while flying through the sky.

"What the hell…"

"You loser! How could I possibly give all the crystals to you?!"

Ignia looked at Acnologia flying into the sky, the corner of his eye twitching slightly. His body then erupted with endless flames, immediately transforming into a red Dragon, spreading his wings and flying toward the sky, closely pursuing Acnologia.

"Then I'll go too~"

Irene held her staff and waved toward Evan, and immediately a teleportation gate lit up beside her.

"Since that's the case, I'll take the left hand…"

Selene smiled lightly at Evan, and accompanied by waves of water, her body was completely swallowed up.

"Then I'll start working too~"

Evan moved his body a little, then fully activated his Observation Haki and walked toward the direction where the crystal ball was located.

As Evan began moving, the civilians standing on the street suddenly stopped their movements, one by one surrounding Evan.

"Outsider, you are not welcome here!"

Countless civilians formed a wall of flesh, or more accurately, a wall of trees, blocking Evan's path.

"Not welcome?!"

Evan stood before the crowd and asked.

"Young man, leave this place! Don't disturb Lord Aldoron's rest!"

An old man holding a staff stood in front of Evan and spoke softly.

"Hehe, surely even a Dragon Slayer Mage would never attack an old man, right?"

Countless villagers in the crowd laughed softly.

"Huh?!"

Evan stared blankly at the old man before him.

"Leave, young…"

Before the old man could finish speaking, Evan's figure had already arrived before the old man, then punched the old man and sent him flying into the sky.

"He attacked!"

"That guy actually attacked an old man!"

"He's completely inhuman!"

The group of Mages looked at the old man sent flying by Evan's punch and loudly complained one after another.

"You've got to be kidding! You think you can stop me with something like this?"

"What do you take the Mages of Fairy Tail for?!"

"Don't say something like little tree men made from trees. Even if they were real people, don't even dream of stopping the advance of our Fairy Tail! Let me say it again, when Fairy Tail does a mission, hostages have to learn to save themselves!"

After punching away the little tree man that had transformed from a tree, Evan strode forward.
