Future Yukino:
"..."
If this was the reaction when the door was first opened, she might have been able to believe it.
"Lucy, your acting is too exaggerated. You should act more naturally."
Erza patted Lucy on the shoulder and gave her a heartfelt evaluation.
Seeing her incredibly serious expression, which was clearly not a joke, Lucy's lips twitched, and she covered her face with her hands: "On this point, I absolutely do not want Erza's guidance."
"So, what exactly is going on? And what exactly is the Eclipse Gate?" Gildarts approached Mira.
The dragon's roar reminded him of his encounter with Acnologia, and his hidden injuries throbbed with pain.
Having only arrived in Crocus yesterday afternoon, he was unaware of Chess's Eclipse Gate special operation.
This question voiced the doubts in the minds of most people present.
Mira withdrew her gaze from Chase's figure, resting her chin on her right hand in thought: "Hmm—where should I begin?"
"Regarding this matter, let me, an old man, answer your questions."
Having calmed Natsu down with physical means, Makarov turned around, looked at the bewildered and panicked crowd, cleared his throat, and briefly explained the reason for the Eclipse Gate and the dragon's appearance there.
Meanwhile, inside the four magic circles.
Mathergraia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her claws. Her dragon eyes swept over the energy barrier that enveloped the surroundings and swirled with magical energy before she looked down at Chess.
It snorted coldly, its words filled with deep disdain: "Human, you don't actually think you can trap Umagreya with such a trivial thing, do you?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is just a stage I've set up where we can fight to our hearts' content."
Chase's lips curled up as he met the dragon's brutal and savage gaze without fear.
This was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to see how far he could go against the dragon without using all his cards to amplify his power, activating his second magic source, or summoning a god.
"Fight to your heart's content?"
Matheria was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter as if she had heard a funny joke.
The dragon's laughter was sharp and piercing, and the energy it contained was enough to cause the earth to tremble, with rubble rolling back and forth everywhere.
A few seconds later, Mathergraia's smile vanished, her eyes turning sinister: "Is there no dragon in this future world?"
"A mere ant dares to challenge a dragon?!"
The hurricane howled, and a terrifying sense of oppression followed.
"Is that so? I thought that punch would have been enough as a greeting."
Upon hearing this, Chess frowned slightly, feigning a troubled expression, and pointed to the blood-stained dragon tooth lying not far away.
This act of killing the dragon and destroying its spirit instantly enraged Mathergraia, who smashed the ground to pieces with a single claw: "Since that's how it is, then I'll tear you apart first, and then I'll rule this magically rich world!"
As a top-tier race possessing both a powerful physique and profound magical power, its perception is equally strong, and it knows that the man before it is not as weak as the humans it knows.
but.-
In Matheria's eyes at this moment, they were nothing more than larger ants.
Ants should be filled with awe and fear, kneeling and trembling under the dragon's claws and wings; even looking directly at it is an unforgivable sin!
This is the main reason why it firmly stands in the camp of refusing to coexist equally with humans, and it is also the common idea of all the opposition.
Nobody wants to live peacefully with ants!
Thinking of this, Mathergraia stretched out her claws, crouched down like a lizard, contracted her abdomen, and opened her blood-red maw to face Chess.
Whoosh!
The surrounding airflow swirled rapidly into the mouth, and terrifying energy accumulated deep in the throat, condensing into a dazzling light bullet that exuded a strong sense of danger.
That was a genuine dragon's roar!
In the tearing gale, the dragon's breath crushed everything in its path, completely engulfing the tiny Chase.
Boom!!!
The destructive energy contained in the roar exploded instantly, and a giant fireball rose slowly, its overflowing impact annihilating everything around it.
The entire city of Crocus trembled under this blow, as if a small earthquake had struck!
And this was even after the four magic circles constructed by the four black magicians with all their might had weakened most of their energy!
The casual breath possessed such destructive power that the mages outside were terrified, witnessing firsthand just how terrifying a race the dragons truly were.
Even the future Jura, the fifth-ranked Archmage of the Ten Saints, subconsciously felt a sense of fear: if that roar landed in the center of the town without any obstruction, the consequences would be an unbearable disaster!
"How is Chess?" Wendy asked weakly, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
Everyone looked up and saw that within the charred, gaping crater, the sacred barrier stood amidst billowing smoke.
At this moment, the sacred protective shield was covered with cracks and shattered with a gentle breeze, turning into countless points of light flying everywhere.
Two long, deep grooves stretched backward, and at their end, Chess slowly lowered his crossed arms in a blocking motion.
"As expected, this is not a creature that can be dealt with so easily—"
Chase sighed softly, then ripped off his disheveled clothes, revealing strong, well-defined muscles.
The roar failed to reflect back, which means that, judging from the strength of magic alone, Mathergraia is stronger than herself in her normal state!
After all, in the original work, it was able to defeat the humans without any resistance, so such a performance is not unusual.
Therefore, Chase was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he stared at Mathergraia with a burning desire, his dormant fighting spirit rising steadily.
After being transported to the future world for so long, I can finally have some fun fighting!
In contrast, Matheria's expression was much more interesting; her vertical pupils contracted, and her dragon face was filled with disbelief.
"I see. It seems I underestimated you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mathergraia changed her prone position, slowly straightened her body, and raised her huge head.
Wow!
Its wings, which blotted out the sky, suddenly spread out, and its hard dragon scales stood up slightly, rubbing against each other and making a creepy sound.
Dragons are a race that admires strength even more than humans. Before engaging in combat, they usually unleash a breath attack as a greeting and to test whether their opponent is qualified to fight.
Without a word, Chase, who had blocked the roar, had transformed in Mathergraia's eyes from a "laughable ant" into a "competitor" worthy of a fight.
Therefore, it immediately entered combat stance!
"Putting aside our positions, I actually quite like your personality."
Chess smiled calmly, then his gaze sharpened, and he stepped forward, creating an ancient, dark golden magic circle beneath his feet.
A pentagram pattern appeared behind him, and the five parts of the Dark Archmage appeared one after another. After fitting perfectly onto his body, they quickly grew larger, reaching the same height as Mathergraia.
From a distance, Chase, standing on the ruins, looked like a miniature Exodia, exuding a heavy and oppressive aura of magic!
