"Don't worry, that black dragon definitely won't be causing trouble again anytime soon. It's so badly injured, it'll take it a long time to recover."
Seeing that everyone was worried about the incredibly terrifying "black dragon," Moen smiled and reassured them.
Although with the "black dragon's" abilities and the unique nature of its body, it could certainly recover its body, having nearly half of its body completely shattered by [Athena's Exclamation], recovery would not be something that could be done in a short time.
"Uncle, I've avenged you."
Looking at Gildarts, Moen chuckled and joked, "The 'Black Dragon' destroyed nearly half of Uncle Gildarts' body, but the damage he inflicted on the 'Black Dragon' this time was even greater."
"Hahaha! That's great!"
Gildarts replied with a happy laugh, saying that it did indeed feel great to see Moen defeat "Black Dragon". It was still revenge for the younger generation in the family to help him get revenge! If "Black Dragon" was so capable, he should find a strong junior to come and see if he could beat Moen.
"Unfortunately, that black dragon is far stronger than me, and this injury is not fatal to him."
After the initial excitement, Gildarts felt a pang of regret. It was a shame that no one could help Moen. If anyone had intervened, the "black dragon" wouldn't have escaped so easily.
"No, I only managed to take half of his body off this time because I wasn't strong enough. Next time we meet, I'll be stronger and I'll definitely take him down one day. I'm only nineteen."
Moen clenched his fist. That "black dragon" must be at least five or six hundred years old. Bullying a nineteen-year-old like him was utterly shameless! Next time they met, don't blame him for disrespecting his elders!
Nineteen years old...
'
Moen's words were so convincing that when he mentioned his age, everyone suddenly realized that Moen was only nineteen years old.
This age is indeed the age when genius mages should begin to shine.
But Moen's current situation is clearly no longer just about "showing his talent." He has even managed to drive away the "Black Dragon," and it's likely that no human can compare to him anymore. It's still unbelievable to think about.
"Now that Moen and Laxus have returned safely, it's time for us to head back to Magnolia."
Grandpa Makarov had fully recovered. Seeing that everyone's mood had almost returned to normal, he suggested starting the return journey.
This encounter was definitely beyond expectations; "Heart of the Devil," "Zeref,"
6
The appearance of the "black dragons" was one after another. The first one was still within their understanding and they could deal with it, but the appearance of the latter two was simply like a joke.
Makarov could say quite bluntly that without Moen's presence, their "Fairy Tail" would have been in serious trouble.
That's it.
Even with Guild Master Mavis's "Fairy Ball" protecting them, Fairy Tail would still suffer a severe blow. After all, the disappearance of the entire guild's elite and top power for several years would turn Fairy Tail into a baby holding a mountain of gold.
The Fairy Tail franchise is now involved in too many interests, and to seize these interests, one must possess great strength. The disappearance of the leader's power will cause those who covet it to become less restrained and instead rush in to share the spoils.
Moen saved Fairy Tail and everything in the guild.
The old man was already thinking that he should simply resign when he got back and officially hand over the position of guild master of Fairy Tail to Moen. He figured no one would object then.
Thinking of this, Makarov looked at Laxus. With Moen taking over as guild master of Fairy Tail, there was a fresh start, and it would be a good idea to bring Laxus back.
Laxus was expelled for vying for the position with Moen, so it's only right that Moen brings him back. Plus, Laxus came specifically to help this time, making his rejoining of "Fairy Tail" perfectly justified.
Standing among everyone, Laxus, whose behavior was slightly awkward, had no idea what the old man was thinking. He only knew that this feeling was strange, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this way.
"Let's go home!"
Moen stood up and supported the old man's suggestion, mainly because if they didn't leave soon, the entire "Harugion" would probably be flooded.
Juvia's influence on rainy days is so great that the sound of the heavy rain outside is hard to ignore.
Others might not have realized it yet, but Moen and Laxus had just come in from outside, so their perception of the weather was naturally stronger. Before they came in, the weather outside was at least cloudless, if not clear.
The sudden downpour like this is definitely not normal and must have been caused by Juvia.
Moen approached Juvia. Actually, there were two other people sitting next to Juvia, one with white hair and the other with red hair. They were Mirajane and Erza, and they were comforting Juvia.
"Yes, it should be 'appeasement'."
Moen confirmed it in his mind. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that Mirajane and Erza were working together to control Juvia. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
"Juvia, don't worry, I'm back now, aren't I?"
Moen reached out and flicked Juvia's nose, telling the little tearful girl to stop her tantrum. When she got going, it was only a matter of time before the rain flooded Harugion, a coastal city where storms could terrify anyone.
"Moen..."
Looking at Moen in front of her, Juvia immediately tried to stand up, but her "left and right protectors" held her arms firmly, like two vises, making it impossible for her to stand up.
"Don't get agitated, Juvia. Your priority right now is to control the weather outside, or Harugion's house will be washed away."
Seeing that Juvia was getting anxious, Mirajane immediately spoke up, her face serious, and directly resorted to "moral blackmail".
Actually, this isn't exactly "moral blackmail," because what Jubia did was wrong. He was just being emotional, but he made the innocent citizens of Harugion suffer as a result.
"Yes! Juvia, that won't do!"
Erza immediately chimed in, looking at Juvia with a serious expression. Mirajane's statement made perfect sense.
"You two, don't put pressure on her. Juvia will calm down. It's been a long time since she's dragged anyone into this kind of thing."
Moen smiled and looked at Juvia with eyes full of trust and encouragement.
The reason Juvia faced so much coldness in the beginning was because she couldn't control the weather, which was affected by her emotions. However, after being brought out of the village by Moen, she gradually learned to take control, so that the Magnolias didn't suffer much.
"Yes, Juvia will handle it!"
Looking at Moen, Juvia obediently nodded in response. Moen's words were much more effective than those of Mirajane and Erza.
Of course, now that she's calmed down, Juvia knows what she should do. She also knows that it's wrong to affect others, so she has been suppressing and controlling herself very well before meeting Moen.
Seeing that Juvia had been calmed down, Moen breathed a sigh of relief. If Juvia's emotions had remained unstable, wherever they went, it would have been pouring rain, and they would have been soaked along the way.
"Time to go home!"
Natsu cheered, his emotions running high. Meeting the "Black Dragon" was definitely an encouragement for him.
For so many years, he had been searching for his "father," searching for Ignir, but he had found no clues whatsoever. He hadn't found any trace of Ignir, or even any other dragon, not even Gajeel's "Iron Dragon."
Wendy's "Dragon" was the same; they all disappeared on the same day and then there was no further news of them.
Sometimes, Natsu would have doubts in his heart, wondering if all the "dragons" had really disappeared. Otherwise, why was there no news of any "dragons" appearing in the world?
The appearance of this "black dragon" undoubtedly proves one thing: the "dragon" still exists, but ordinary people cannot see it, and those who do see it have a very slim chance of survival. Even Uncle Gildarts could only barely escape with serious injuries.
However, Natsu believed that Igniel would never do evil like the "Black Dragon," and would never indiscriminately kill innocent people like the "Black Dragon." He also believed that the "Iron Dragon" and the "Sky Dragon" would not do such things, otherwise they would not have raised human children like them.
There's no news of them now; they might have gone into hiding. This "Black Dragon" is said to have wiped out all the dragons, so maybe it's this guy who's hunting down Igniel and his group!
Natsu considered all sorts of possibilities in his mind, and to be honest, some of his ideas actually made sense and were quite reasonable.
"Moenge and Igniel working together will definitely defeat the Black Dragon!"
Natsu kept shouting that although Moen and "Black Dragon" were incredibly strong, in Natsu's heart, his "father" Igneel was no less powerful. This was a strong childhood nostalgia factor.
Natsu didn't actually know Igneel's true strength, but he firmly believed that Igneel was no weaker than Moen and "Black Dragon" and would definitely be able to help Moen.
"Well, that's hard to say."
"Your father must be several hundred years old to have lived this long, and the fact that he managed to evade that black dragon's pursuit means he must be quite powerful."
Moen nodded. He didn't refute Natsu's words, but agreed. Even if the "Fire Dragon" Igneel wasn't as monstrous as the "Black Dragon," it still had to be something. And the "Iron Dragon" and the "Sky Dragon" would definitely have to have roles.
Based on Moen's years of experience watching novels, anime, and TV series, he judged that these "dragons" would definitely appear in the original timeline. After all, there was obviously something wrong with their disappearance together, and there must have been some secret hidden in that time.
As the rain outside gradually subsided, the Fairy Tail crew began their journey home. While the downpours ceased, a steady drizzle continued.
The reason for this situation, which continued along the way, was obvious. Clearly, although Juvia was trying her best to restrain herself, her emotions were still not completely calm.
The light rain that followed made Mirajane's heart feel shrouded in mist, making her increasingly unable to see what the future held and leaving her unsure of how to face whatever was to come.
Soon, carrying this unforgettable experience, the group returned to Magnolia. Magnolia City was as lively and bustling as ever. People greeted the returning Fairy Tail members warmly, just like usual. They had no idea what the group had gone through.
Back at the guild hall, the companions who hadn't been able to participate in the "S-rank exam" surrounded them, bombarding them with questions about who had passed the test.
Laxus's appearance also surprised everyone, since Laxus is no longer a member of Fairy Tail. Why would he come back with everyone?
"Who will be promoted to S-rank? It hasn't been decided yet."
The new "S-Class" has indeed not been decided yet. After all, we've been through so much lately that we haven't had time to consider it.
Now that we're back at the guild hall, we can make a decision. Actually, there's not much to choose from. The only ones who have really performed well are Gray and Natsu, and they were originally the pre-selected candidates.
"You'd never guess what we encountered this time!"
However, Natsu and Gray couldn't care less about the "S-rank" thing for the moment. The two of them, along with Happy, began to vividly recount their experiences on "Tenrou Island," while their guildmates listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.
There were not only exclamations, but also skepticism, as the facts were indeed unbelievable. However, the skepticism was quickly suppressed because the parties involved were all there, and even Makarov testified that Natsu, Gray, and...
The veracity of Habby's words.
Moen did not participate in the lively discussions among the others. He went up to the top floor of the guild building alone and came to the open-air balcony.
Night had fallen, and Moen leaned against the railing, looking down at the dimly lit Magnolia, a wave of exhaustion washing over him.
The extreme depletion of his magic power and the burden brought by the forced operation of his "mini-cosm" were clearly reflected in his body at this moment. He never showed weakness or fragility in front of others, as that did not fit his persona. He wanted to always be the sun that shone on everyone.
"Da...da...da."
Light footsteps sounded behind me.
Moen didn't turn around. He knew who was coming. Even just from the sound of their footsteps, he could tell who they were.
Mirajane and Erza walked side by side and stood on either side of him. Neither of them looked at him or spoke, but instead gazed at the city's night view, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.
"You must be very tired?"
After a while, Mirajane spoke softly, her voice filled with concern.
"Hmm, that black dragon is more troublesome than I imagined."
Moen nodded, readily admitting that sometimes it's necessary to show weakness.
"Next time—don't carry such heavy loads all by yourself."
Looking at Moen, who was leaning against the railing and looked very tired, Erza's voice carried a hint of stubbornness and heartache.
"We're all here, the guild, everyone, we can all help you share the burden. It's too tiring for you to carry everything on your own shoulders like this."
As Erza spoke, she began to blame herself, blaming herself for not being strong enough, otherwise Moen wouldn't have been so tired.
