Chapter 742: Killing the Black Dragon with Three Swords

Chapter 742: Cutting the Black Dragon with Three Swords

When Akuro Nokia saw Lu Li walking towards him, he felt his scalp tingling for some reason.

This feeling was too unfamiliar to him, who had been through hundreds of battles and crawled out of countless dragon corpses.

He only remembered that when he had just started learning dragon-slaying magic, he encountered a powerful dragon. That was the most brutal battle in his life, but even the powerful water dragon at that time did not bring him such pressure.

It was clear to him that Lu Li's physical strength was not stronger than his own, but he felt that the butcher's knife was already on his neck, and he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

boom--

The next moment, when his mind froze, a powerful force came from his lower abdomen.

Lu Li flashed to Akuro Nokia's side at an extremely fast speed and kicked him sideways, sending him spinning high into the air.

The powerful force accompanied by extremely high martial arts skills directly kicked the black dragon into a V shape, breaking through the air flow in the sky and making bursts of sharp explosions.

After kicking the black dragon away from the residential area, Lu Li jumped up with a hint of expected disappointment in his eyes.

At the critical moment of life and death, the black dragon endured the pain and adjusted its posture, puffed up its mouth towards Lu Li below, and used the dragon-killing magic - the black dragon's roar!

A blue-white energy wave was seen gushing out from the black dragon's mouth, like a beam of light that could destroy the world. It was thick enough to cover the entire imperial capital. If this attack was successful, the Albares Empire would probably become history.

Feeling the overwhelming magic power of the Black Dragon's attack, the Twelve Shields of the Empire all had horror on their faces, but Zeref and Mavis held hands, looking calm.

Because from the previous move, he could see that Lu Li's strength was even greater than Black Dragon's, and this battle was led by Lu Li.

The reason why Lu Li didn't draw his sword just now but kicked the black dragon high into the sky was probably to prevent the black dragon from exploding with its powerful magic power when it was about to die, dragging the people of the imperial capital to death with it.

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, Lu Li rose into the air from the bottom up, slashed with his sword, and used the Broken Tide Sword Technique to break the roar of the black dragon. In an instant, the sky became clear and the earth became bright.

Not only that, the sword intent continued to move upwards, slashing across the black dragon's chest, causing a fountain of blood to burst out from his chest.

"how come……"

There was shock in Aklonokia's eyes. If he was caught off guard when his dragon wings were cut off at the beginning, how could he be completely defenseless now that he was ready to fight with all his might?
He looked at the man walking in the void below. With every step he took, the momentum on his body continued to accumulate. In the end, it was like a towering dark demon god rising behind Lu Li.

The dark demon god was towering into the clouds, and its size was unknown. The moment he leaned forward and let out a war roar, it was as if Lu Li's martial arts spirit burst out and hit Akuro Nokia, making him feel that his soul and body were about to be separated.

Akroniya crossed his arms, ready to use his dragon-slaying secret to try to confront Lu Li head-on.

But the next moment, Lu Li's speed suddenly accelerated and he was in front of him in an instant. He swung his Demon-Imprisoning Blade and slashed it across, and a head flew into the sky.

The huge source of magic power accumulated in Aklonokia's body had not yet exploded when Ah Huo, who was following closely behind Lu Li, rushed over and swallowed it in one gulp.

Because Aklonokia was in human form, Ah Huo ate it in one bite without feeling any discomfort and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

Above the sky, the black mist around Lu Li slowly dissipated, and the strange image formed by his martial arts will also disappeared.

"The battle...is over?"

"The Black Dragon...is dead?"

"That was Akronokia, the most powerful dragon slayer in history, the monster born in the Dragon King Festival. He died just like that?"

"Lu Li... won? So quickly?"

"..."

The people and Long who were watching the battle below were all a little confused when they saw this scene. It felt like a dream and it was unreal.

After all, the legend of the black dragon has been circulating among the strong for hundreds of years. Ignir, as the Fire Dragon King, who was present at the scene, had personally witnessed Akronikos slaughtering his own people. That feeling of powerlessness is still engraved in his heart.

Originally, he had been prepared to fight with his life to repel Akronokia today and save the spark of hope for the future of Natsu and the others. But who would have thought that Lu Li only took three strikes to kill Akronokia.

"Brother Lu is indeed the strongest!"

There was admiration in Natsu's eyes. They were once wiped out by the black dragon on Tenrou Island, but he didn't expect that Brother Lu could defeat the black dragon with such ease.

"A dragon-riding wizard who travels through the myriad worlds..."

Jellal also looked at Ah Huo who was roaring and circling in the sky with emotion, "Sure enough, I have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the mystery of this world."

He knew that there were several parallel worlds besides Ascalante where he lived, but he didn't know that there were such powerful wizards in other worlds.

No, from what he could see, what Lu Li used was not magic at all. He just killed Akronokia with pure physical strength and swordsmanship. Therefore, Akronokia's advantage of magic immunity was not reflected at all.

But in other words, in the field of hand-to-hand combat, which was what Akuro Nokia was best at, he was defeated by Lu Li, and the loss was without any suspense.

Jellal even felt that if Lu Li had not estimated that the Black Dragon's dying counterattack might destroy the imperial capital and hurt the people, Lu Li would have been able to kill the Black Dragon with the first strike.

At this time, Lu Li rode Ah Huo down from the sky and stopped in front of the steps of the palace. His combat state had been lifted and he became relatively approachable.

"What a powerful human being! Are we just sitting in a well and looking at the world from afar? There may be many powerful people in the parallel world that we don't know about."

Igniel said with emotion that he never thought that the major problem that had troubled the dragon clan for hundreds of years would be solved by Lu Li just like this.

"Brother Lu, so you are not actually from this world?"

Gray came over at this time and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Didn't I tell you at the table before that I was just passing through Aslant?"

Lu Li said casually, "Since the black dragon is the enemy of my friends, just kill it."

As he said this, he walked towards the interior of the palace again, "Come on, keep eating. I'm not full yet."

Everyone felt dizzy and returned to the restaurant in the palace. Jellal was so considerate that he added seats so that Igniel and Grantine, who had been shrunk by Brandish's magic, could sit at the table together.

Lu Li sat back in his seat and tasted a piece of beef, which was still hot.

"Mr. Lu, what are your plans next?"

Jellal was amazed at Lu Li's powerful strength, and was also curious about what he was going to do after he killed the black dragon.

"What do we do? Of course we go back to Fairy Tail and have a party to celebrate."

Natsu said with a heartless smile, looking at Igneel, "Igneel, my current family is also great. I must take you to meet everyone."

Ignir's dragon also had a happy expression on his face. The black dragon was killed, and they were all intact, which naturally made the dragon happy.

He had already made up his mind. After catching up with Natsu, he would go to the Fairy Tail Guild, express his gratitude to everyone for taking care of Natsu, and then leave the human world. After all, the era now no longer belonged to dragons, and it was better for them to retire to the mountains.

"Um……"

Lu Li heard what Natsu said but did not agree with it, he just put down his knife and fork.

"Lu Li, what's wrong?"

Erza sensed Lu Li's hesitation.

"I might have to leave the guild."

Lu Li thought for a while and said, all good things must come to an end. Although he likes the atmosphere of the Fairy Tail Guild very much, he is just a passer-by after all, and there are more exciting adventures waiting for him in the world.

He gained a lot from fighting the Valkyrie in this space brawl, and felt that he really had to find a master to fight with, so that he could hone his martial arts under pressure.

The Fairy Tail world is a reward world for champions, and there aren't any tough trials. It's okay to use it as a vacation, but Lu Li is afraid that he'll get rusty if he stays there for too long.

"Ah? What? Brother Lu, you want to leave the guild!?"

Natsu was surprised to hear that.

"What's wrong with Brother Lu? Are you unhappy staying in the guild?"

Lucy also asked in confusion, "Did Natsu make you angry again?"

Happy also revived nearby and grabbed Natsu's head, "Natsu, apologize quickly."

"not like this."

Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "I have just explained that I am a traveler who travels through various worlds. I have stayed in Aslant long enough. According to the law of time and space causality, I cannot stay here for too long. I just killed the strongest black dragon in this parallel world, so I cannot stay here for any longer."

The reasons he made up were a bit crude, but they made sense given the worldview of this world.

In fact, the scale of this universe theory is very large. In addition to those described in the original work, it is still unknown how many parallel worlds there are. After being reinforced by the nine spaces and Lingxu Palace, the possibilities are estimated to be even greater.

If Lu Li came to this world seriously to carry out the mission of breaking through, he felt that it would be more complicated. However, as a champion, the space simplified some processes and he could complete the mission after extracting the fragments of the world core of the set target.

"So that's it..."

Erza said thoughtfully, "In that case, let's cherish the moments we have together."

After everything was made clear, everyone continued with the feast. Although Natsu and the others were reluctant to leave, they all smiled, not wanting the future separation to be a sad one.

"Brother Lu, are you going to travel somewhere else later?"

After three rounds of drinks, Natsu asked curiously at the table.

"I will stay in this world for a while. Didn't I leave for a while before during the Hundred Years Mission? In fact, I fell into the turbulence of time and space and was lost in another world. This time I come back, I want to complete the Hundred Years Mission before leaving."

Lu Li said.

"A hundred-year mission!?"

Natsu said excitedly, "Can you take me with you? I want to do that legendary mission too!"

"Natsu, don't cause trouble for Brother Lu."

Erza knocked Natsu on the head, but also looked at Lu Li, obviously she was also interested in the Hundred Years Mission.

"The Hundred Years Mission is still too difficult for you now, but based on the information I found last time, I would like to ask Igniel to go with me."

As Lu Li spoke, he looked at the Fire Dragon King who was having a meal. It can only be said that like father, like son. Lu Li did not expect that Igniel was also a big eater.

After putting his worries aside, the plate piled up in front of him in a short while.

"What? A hundred-year mission? Do you need me to go?"

Igniel looked up in confusion. He had traveled through time with Natsu from hundreds of years ago, and actually didn't know the content of the Hundred Years Quest.

"Yes, as far as I know, on another continent, there are five giant dragons known as the Five Divine Dragons. Among them, the Fire Dragon, Ignia, should be your child, right?"

Lu Li asked seriously.

Igniel was a little surprised when he heard this, he followed Natsu through time and space and could only observe this world through what Natsu saw and heard. Originally, seeing that there were no traces of dragons in this era, he thought that his son had been killed by Akronokia long ago.

He didn't expect that his son had run away to another continent and hid there. This was considered to have saved his son's family, which made him feel very relieved.

"Igonia?"

Natsu was confused when he heard Lu Li's words, "Ignir, isn't your child me? My name is Natsu."

"Natsu, use your brain, you are a human being, and what Brother Lu is talking about should be Igniel's biological child."

Lucy reminded from the side.

Igniel also nodded the dragon's head, "Indeed, I have a biological child named Igniel. The situation was too chaotic back then, and I never thought that he would escape to another continent and is still alive."

He felt emotional, and at the same time he understood why Lu Li invited him to go with him. Obviously, Lu Li's strength was enough to sweep the world, and his son should not be able to stop him. He only let him go with him out of consideration to see if some problems could be solved peacefully.

"So I have a brother?"

Natsu grinned and said, "Then I want to go over and take a look even more. Brother Lu, just let me go with you!"

Lu Li thought about it and felt that there would be no obstacles in the future. It would be fine to take Natsu with him. Anyway, Igniel would clean up his son's mess, so he nodded.

…………

Half a month later, Lu Li and others returned to the Fairy Tail Guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.

After killing the black dragon, he stayed in the vast magic empire for some time and discovered many precious mineral deposits there.

Unfortunately, he was not a backup and did not have the sophisticated mining skills to extract those minerals. Violent mining would only damage the divinity of those minerals. Helplessly, Lu Li could only give up the idea of ​​mining and use the Star Ring to directly devour those rare metals in exchange for growth.

However, he did not do without other gains. In the process of searching for minerals, he went to the place that Zhan Fei mentioned and found several powerful medicinal herbs, which restored his lifespan to its peak.

Not only that, he also found a lot of things that could be used as spirit gathering objects to irrigate the fairy seeds. Lu Li felt that the fairy seeds were about to be promoted to the next irrigation stage.
