"Geralt!!!"
Before Mystogan could say anything more, the enormous "Droma Arnim" roared, calling out Mystogan's original name.
"Mystergan" is just Gerald's code name in the world of "Aislandon". His real name in this world is Gerald.
"You traitor! Traitor to Edolas!"
"Droma Arnim" continued to roar, its massive metal head turning towards Mystogan, its crimson mechanical eyes locked onto him. King Faust, piloting this "Dragon Knight," directed all his fury at Mystogan.
As a father, King Faust felt he had committed a terrible sin by having such a son. Of course, he no longer recognized his son at all and wished he could grind Mistgang to dust.
Because Mystogan has been preventing the release of Anima and hindering his plans, Mystogan, as the prince of the Kingdom of Edolas, has stood on the opposite side of the kingdom.
"He looks really angry."
Moen glanced at Mystorgan and whispered. Although the "Prince of Edolas" did not speak, Moen could tell that Mystorgan's feelings were complicated.
Everyone looked at Mistgang, their eyes filled with worry, concerned that Mistgang would be hurt by these slanderous words.
Natsu's eyes were blazing with fury. Mystogan was not a traitor! He was not a betrayer! Mystogan was truly selfless! He was a truly righteous person who stood on the side of justice!
Although Natsu is usually too lazy to think about complicated things, he has a very simple mind and he clearly distinguishes right from wrong.
The Kingdom of Edolas has been using Anima to harm Eslandon, even converting Eslandon's humans into magic for their own use. They have also been massacring mages within their own borders and banning the use of magic. Without a doubt, they are the worst kind of villains, having reached a point of utter inhumanity.
As for Mistgang, he was clearly not from the world of "Aislandon," but for the sake of justice and because of his kindness, he abandoned everything and went to "Aislandon" just to stop his father's wrongdoings and to save the innocent people of "Aislandon." He never hurt anyone; on the contrary, he saved many people. He was not a bad person!
"Mistgang isn't a bad guy! You bastard! I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
Natsu roared, scorching flames spewing from his mouth, distorting the surrounding air as he stomped his feet on the ground, ready to charge straight at "Droma Arnim" for a fierce battle!
He's not afraid of any "dragon form armor"! He's a "Dragon Slayer Mage"! Even if it's a dragon made of steel armor, he'll still annihilate it!
But before Natsu could rush out, Gray and Gajeel quickly grabbed him. The older brothers hadn't even spoken yet, and it wasn't their turn to step in.
Besides, if "Droma Arnim" is truly immune to magic, rushing in recklessly would be far too dangerous.
Moen and Natsu's words were like a warm current flowing into Mystogan's heart, awakening his complex emotions.
Mistgang took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and looked at everyone with gratitude. He nodded vigorously to indicate that he was alright.
"Father! Your plan is absolutely doomed to fail! Abandon it! Let Edolas return to normal!"
Mistgang raised his head, facing the cold, mechanical behemoth, and roared loudly, his voice filled with helplessness and pleading, completely genuine, as he wanted to persuade his father to change his mind.
Clearly, this "Prince Edolas" still had some filial piety; he didn't want to actually turn against his father.
Of course, he had some filial piety, but only a little. Although he couldn't bear to actually fight his father, it didn't stop him from bringing his brothers over and having them beat his father up.
In the face of national interests and the greater good, a little bit of "filial piety" is insignificant.
"I am not your father! A traitor does not deserve to call me father!"
Unfortunately, Mystogan's little bit of "filial piety" was not accepted. King Faust's voice came through a mechanical loudspeaker, cold and icy, devoid of any emotion. He had long since regarded this son as nonexistent.
What Mistgang did was something Faust could not forgive. The two were enemies in terms of values and ideologies, and a scene of "filial piety" between them was impossible.
"Click!"
After rebuking Mystgang, King Faust stopped talking and the huge metal jaws of the "Droma Anim" suddenly opened, the internal mechanical structure running at high speed, and a cannon barrel flashing with dangerous energy light protruded from its mouth.
"boom!!!"
A blindingly powerful magical beam erupted from the cannon barrel, like a destructive torrent, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air and a scorching heat wave, directly towards the location of Moen and his companions.
This place was originally the site of a royal palace, but Faust didn't care. He thought that the palace was destroyed and could be rebuilt later.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Moen's golden armor changed from the majestic Gemini Gold Armor to the Aries Gold Armor with a pair of large horns. He crossed his arms in front of him, and brilliant starlight gathered. He unleashed the "Crystal Wall," and a huge, transparent barrier shimmering with starlight instantly unfolded, blocking everyone's path.
They were all standing on the passageway outside the palace fortress, with nowhere to hide. Hiding inside the palace would likely mean being bombed, and jumping down was impractical, as the height was quite high. Therefore, someone had to block the attack immediately.
Mystergan originally intended to make a move, as defensive magic arrays were one of his specialties, but Moen acted before him.
"Don't make things difficult for yourself. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then leave it to us, Mystogan. Just trust us; we're Fairy Tail's comrades!"
Moen stood in front, but his words kept echoing in Mistgang's ears.
Mystergan opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything. Moen was clearly younger than him, but Moen always took responsibility and was always the most responsible person. Standing behind him always made him feel so at ease.
"We are... partners of Fairy Tail..."
Mystogan repeated a sentence, which seemed to possess a unique magic in the hearts of all the Fairy Tail members. Whenever it was mentioned, it seemed to bring them endless power and allow the Fairy Tail members to unleash their most fervent emotions.
When Mystogan made up his mind to join Fairy Tail, he was moved by the family-like atmosphere. Having just left home and broken ties with his family, he truly felt the warmth of family in Fairy Tail.
In fact, Mystogan was lucky. Not long after arriving in "Aceland", he met Wendy, then Robin, and then Makarov and Moen.
Mystogan was first surrounded by the gentlest and kindest people, and later joined the guild with the most family-like atmosphere. He was practically arranged for his life, so naturally he had a special feeling for Fairy Tail.
"I have always believed in you, and believed in us."
Watching Moen's retreating figure and the crowd rushing forward, Mistgang spoke softly, firmly believing that those on the side of justice would ultimately prevail!
"Buzz!"
The beam of light hurtled towards them, crashing violently into the invisible "crystal wall," unleashing a deafening roar and blinding light. It was then violently bounced back by the powerful repulsive force of the "crystal wall." Everyone held their breath, watching with anticipation.
"boom!!!"
The reflected light beam struck "Droma Arnim" directly, its power terrifying, knocking "Droma Arnim" to the ground and instantly raising a cloud of dust.
"I'm afraid the 'no harm from smoke' rule is about to be up again."
Seeing "Droma Arnim" lying in the dust, Moen muttered a sarcastic remark.
And indeed, when the smoke cleared, "Droma Arnim" appeared unharmed, with only a little dirt on his armor. This scene left everyone speechless.
The power of that attack just now goes without saying; those present were all mages of some skill, so they could see that.
At least half of the people present were unable to launch an attack of that magnitude, but even such magical light waves could not harm "Droma Arnim" in the slightest. This reality naturally shocked everyone.
"Magic nullification, it's not just a figure of speech..."
'
Moen frowned, also finding it a bit troublesome. This thing was a bit abnormal! Did it really not take any magical attacks at all?
"Then use your fists! Smash it with your fists!"
Natsu roared like thunder, startling everyone with the magic immunity of "Droma Arnim." But he remained undeterred and fearless. He would not back down even a step, no matter how hard he tried or how hard he fought.
"Haha! Well said! This is the time we need Natsu to step up our morale!"
Moen was very pleased with Natsu's words. He laughed and slapped Natsu hard on the shoulder, knocking Natsu to the ground.
Natsu didn't make a fuss. He immediately got up and stood with Moen to face "Droma Arnim." What kind of bullshit magic immunity is this? Does that mean we can't fight without magic? Let's smash its shell first! Let's see how it can be magic immune then!
"Guys! Natsu is absolutely right! If magic doesn't work, then we'll smash it with our fists! We'll kick it with our feet! We'll smash it with our heads! We're going to fight it to the death today!"
Moen turned around, his gaze sweeping across the tense, angry, or determined faces behind him. He raised his arm and gave a resounding shout that instantly ignited everyone's fighting spirit.
Now that things have come to this, they have no reason to back down. Even if the behemoth opposite them is immune to magic, they have to bite the bullet and go for it. Even if they have to smash it, they have to smash it to pieces!
"Let's fight it!"
"Smash it!"
"Go!"
Moen's shouts received a positive response from everyone. Whether it was the mages from Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, or Four-Headed Hound, they were all influenced by him and Natsu, and everyone was already a little emotionally charged.
"If you're not physically strong enough or not good at close combat, then forget it. You need to assess your own abilities. If you're confident in your skills, come with me!"
Of course, Moen wasn't just trying to motivate everyone. This matter was ultimately quite dangerous, and frail, pure magic-type mages shouldn't go. If they went up there and got crushed by someone's foot, it would only add to the sacrifices.
After giving his instructions, Moen took the lead and jumped over the railing of the passageway into the central circular plaza.
In mid-air, Moen waved his hand, and crows flew out, carrying him directly to "Droma Arnim" in the center.
Natsu followed suit, grabbing a crow and flying away, with Gray close behind. Mirajane, having already acquired her demon form, took to the air on her own. Elfman, the Beast King, was even more ferocious, leaping out like a flying ape before crashing to the ground and creating a large crater.
"We can't fall behind! Guys! Follow me!"
Packas's eyes gleamed with a fanatical fighting spirit as he excitedly waved his fists at the "Four-Headed Hound" mage.
The magic failed? So what? He's a martial arts fighter, he's got plenty of strength!
In contrast, the "Blue Pegasus" group had fewer fighters, but most of them stayed with Makarov to block the reinforcements. Only Ichiya brought a few people with him. Ichiya naturally did not back down and followed without hesitation, ready to show off his skills.
"Buzzing!"
While Moen mobilized the "Expeditionary Force" to fight to the death, King Faust was not idle either. He manipulated "Droma Arnim" to open the magic absorption ports all over its body and began to frantically and greedily absorb magic!
A visible, almost tangible torrent of magical energy converged from all directions, as if the entire world of "Edras" was groaning in pain. Almost all the remaining magical energy of this world, which already had very little magic left, was forcibly extracted and poured into this enormous "Dragon Knight".
One of the reasons this thing is taboo is its extremely terrifying magical energy consumption. Activating it once can absorb almost half the magical energy of the world, which is naturally very taboo for the world of "Edras" where magical energy is almost exhausted.
Of course, the power of this thing goes without saying. Its terrifying power has forced humanity to eventually seal it away, and it will never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
"These beasts slaughtered all the mages in the Mage Guild, banned the use of magic among the common people, and recklessly used anima to invade other worlds, all just to have enough magic power for their own use. They'd even give up being human for a little magic power!"
Laxus landed heavily on the ground, the stone slab beneath his feet instantly cracking. Looking at "Droma Arnim," which was devouring the last vestiges of life in the world like a gluttonous beast, golden arcs of electricity crackled around him as he couldn't help but curse loudly.
You can say that Laxus has problems with his philosophy on guild building, but you absolutely cannot say that he has problems with even the most basic values.
Laxus completely lost his composure when faced with a scoundrel like King Faust, but that's not a problem, because everyone's the same. Whoever comes here has to curse these rulers of the "Kingdom of Edolas." It's just that their behavior is really too ugly.
"Everything I've done is for Edolas! To ensure Edolas has an endless supply of magic power, no one can stop me! Instead of obediently waiting to be converted into magic power, you dare to trespass into my territory—you're courting death!"
After absorbing all the remaining magic power of the "Edras" world, "Droma Arnim" shone brightly, and its enormous body seemed to become even more ferocious and terrifying. The energy fluctuations it emitted made the air thick and sticky.
King Faust, controlling it, grew increasingly arrogant, emitting a mixture of mechanical noises as he addressed the crowd.
The almost manic roar made him seem completely insane; it was unclear whether he was influenced by the "Dragon Knight."
"Old man, I'll only give you one sentence."
Watching the silver-white steel dragon, baring its fangs and radiating an aura of destruction amidst the torrent of magic, Moen hovered in mid-air, supported by the raven. He clenched his right fist, locked his gaze on the massive mechanical dragon head, and swooped down from the sky like a meteor!
"My punches are not without power!"
