Chapter 587 - 587
BOOM!!!
The "Black Dragon's" enormous body slammed straight into the ground, smashing out a huge crater and kicking up clouds of dust.
The sheer absurdity of the scene made everyone's eyes widen.
There was no helping it.
The size difference between Marco and the "Black Dragon" was enormous, so the sight of him sending such a colossal monster crashing down with a single punch was nothing short of shocking.
Everyone had thought Marco was just trying to hold back the monster, but Marco had proven his strength to them.
Even the "Black Dragon" had to lower its head before his absolute power!
"To think he can actually do this…"
At the bow of Grimoire Heart's airship, Zeref stood with a grim expression, his eyes opened wide.
That boy.... was hiding even more secrets.
That strike just now had not used magic power at all!
"Was it pure physical strength?"
Zeref's pupils trembled, but he could not quite believe it.
How could a mortal like Marco's possibly contain that kind of power?
Marco was not some Dragon Slayer Mage.
Forget a Dragon Slayer Mage—even one who had fully undergone Dragonification and become a dragon still could not possibly be the Black Dragon's match.
This was the destroyer who had slaughtered all dragons!
No one understood how to fight dragons better than the Black Dragon, Acnologia.
Turning into a dragon and fighting him would probably only make you lose even faster.
Zeref could not make sense of it. He simply could not understand how Marco was accomplishing any of this.
ROAR!!!
The Black Dragon Acnologia let out a furious roar.
Standing inside that crater, the giant dragon felt intense pain in its back.
It had no idea how many years it had been since it last felt something like this, so the rage rising in its heart was naturally boundless.
Of course, the Black Dragon's confusion was just as deep.
As the dragon who had actually taken the punch, Acnologia had a far more direct understanding of Marco's attack.
He truly had not sensed any magic power at all, otherwise he would not have failed to notice Marco getting onto his back in the first place.
Whoosh!
The Black Dragon beat its wings and shot into the sky, charging straight at Marco like a bolt of black lightning.
No one could even follow its movements.
This attack was faster than the one it had used against Laxus earlier.
The Black Dragon had not been using its full strength before.
But now, its initial attitude of toying with "insects" had completely vanished.
Facing Marco, who was practically a humanoid monster, the Black Dragon was finally getting serious.
It was going to make this insolent little thing pay.
"Good!"
A gleam flashed through Marco's eyes.
With a sweep of both hands, he hurled out two more shields, spinning at high speed as they slammed toward the Black Dragon.
Now that he no longer needed to rely on magic for direct combat, Marco was using all of his magic power to control those twelve golden weapons.
The two shields he had just thrown out were enough to instantly kill anyone present besides Zeref and the Black Dragon.
BOOM!!!
The Black Dragon knocked both shields flying with a single swipe of its claws.
The last time, it had been caught off guard.
This time, the Black Dragon used its full strength, and compared to swatting away those two golden longswords before, it handled these two shields a little more easily.
This proved once again that attacks powered by magic were still somewhat lacking against the Black Dragon.
Even though the attacks Marco launched with magic would absolutely rank among the strongest in this world, they still fell short before the Black Dragon's absurdly unreasonable magic resistance—unless Marco himself could also use Dragon Slayer Magic.
Whoosh!
Marco's figure vanished.
The purpose of driving the twelve golden weapons with magic had never been to inflict real damage in the first place, but to hinder and stall.
Even if they could not deal much damage, the energy from an explosion caused by that massive amount of magic was still enough to shake the Black Dragon and affect its movements.
And that tiny opening was more than enough for Marco.
His body disappeared, then reappeared right in front of the Black Dragon.
Seizing the instant of stiffness in its movement, he drove out another fierce punch.
BOOM!!!
The Black Dragon's massive body once again crashed down toward Tenrou Island.
This time, it fell in the direction of Grimoire Heart's people, and every one of them turned pale.
"Run!"
Faced with the gigantic Black Dragon plummeting toward them at terrifying speed, Grimoire Heart's members each used whatever means they had.
At a moment like this, no one had time to worry about anyone else. Saving their own lives came first.
This left the heavily injured Hades in a miserable state, as well as Rustyrose, who was still lying on the ground and had not quite died yet.
Hades at least still had the strength to run.
Rustyrose, however, could not move at all.
BOOM!
The Black Dragon, which had just climbed back up, crashed to the ground again, smashing out yet another crater.
Poor Rustyrose was pinned directly beneath the dragon.
There was probably not even a complete corpse left of him.
"…"
Hades lay on the ground, feeling as though everything had veered completely off the track he had envisioned.
Though he had managed to avoid the falling Black Dragon itself, he had not gotten far enough away, and the shockwave from its impact had still blasted him off his feet.
ROAR!
The Black Dragon's furious roar rang in his ears, and Hades could only smile bitterly.
That Marco from Fairy Tail—even the Black Dragon was being pounded into the ground by his fists.
His strength was simply unfathomable, and Hades could not even understand the power he was using.
It made all of Hades' plans look like a joke from the very start.
Forget Zeref and the Black Dragon—even with just Marco, if he had gone all out from the beginning, Grimoire Heart would never have been able to stir up so much as a ripple.
They would have been wiped out on the spot.
Of course, they really had not stirred up any waves at all.
They had merely been used as a "touchstone," turned into someone else's "test."
Zancrow had been captured, Azuma was already dead, and Rustyrose—who had been half-dead already—was now fully dead.
Three of the Seven Kin of Purgatory had died, yet they had not caused Fairy Tail the slightest bit of damage.
Zeref had not cooperated with them either, showing no intention whatsoever of fighting the Black Dragon.
Fairy Tail's members had been teleported away by Marco, while the ones trapped on the island had instead become Grimoire Heart.
Everything, absolutely everything, was completely different from what Hades had imagined.
He had arrived filled with towering ambition, and now he lay sprawled on the ground like a stray dog.
