Chapter 9: Don't run with Scissors
(A/N: I'm really disappointed by the lack of feedback lately for this fanfiction regarding comments of the fan fiction itself. Out of the man people who read it, I only got 2 comments on the last chapter regarding the chapter itself. Regarding one comment that the mages are constantly training within Natsu's era, while that's true, they're not training as intensely as the warriors of Irene's time do and they're certainly not training as hardcore as some of the training within this fanfiction. After all Natsu in canon couldn't even kill any of the Dragons in the Dragon Festival Arc despite being a Dragon Slayer, hence the training and intensity of training are much stronger and more prevalent here considering Dragons are the main antagonists for a good amount of this fan fiction.)
One Year Later
Irene's POV
May 29, X386, one year has passed since the incident with Zincosis. I doubled down on the training within Dragonv and haven't left the country within the last year and also was being trained to manage finances and resources as well as trade. Dragonv was starting to recover to its prime state.
Truth be told, it was hard to believe a year went by yet I've changed so much. I grew several inches taller. My breast when from a mere C to a clear Double D, the tan I had during the years I've trained in Zen vanished within the winter reverting my skin back to the fair skin I once had. My hair was so long, I decided to make a long braid on the right side of my head. My clothing changed as well. I wore a long white cape with a white full body dress underneath, I still wasn't too thrilled to show too much all the time.
I was determined not to make the same mistakes as I did back in Hargeon Town. While Zirconis might've been a vile piece of shit, what if I was fighting a Dragon with much less minor crime and could've been reformed, I could've accidentally killed that one. I'm still traumatized seeing a decapitated Dragon head, it didn't matter that it was someone who deserved to die, seeing that made me terrified of what I could do.
One of newest training partners was Altas Flames. He was the King of the Hellfire Dragon Tribe that served under Igneel's Grand Fire Dragon Tribe. After the Zirconis battle, I've been training under him to transition into training under the Dragon protection Squad. Altas Flames was a loyal B rank Dragon who was the Lieutenant Colonel under Igneel Fire Dragon Division.
I was training with the Hoshigami No Satsuki trying to fight Altas Flames without using too much force. Fortunately, Atlas Flames wasn't just 10 times more powerful than Zirconis ever was, he was also a Dragon with the unique ability to turn his body into elemental magic making it hard for people to land hits on him, even other Dragons.
I was trying to do what mother told Metalicana told me, to cut nothing yet cut anything. It was about controlling what you cut and concentrating your energy so you can cut anything you want yet avoiding cutting things you don't want to cut with the sword, a lesson I want to learn badly. Altas Flames was holding back on me in our sparring session for the purpose to see how much I can control the cutting power of the Hoshigami No Satsuki.
"Hellfire Dragon Roar!" He shouted as he shot a massive wave of flames at him but I evaded the attack. My reaction speed was improving in the year I was training. Before I barely was able to evade a Dragon Roar even with Enchantments, now I was able to it fine without them.
I clashed with his attacks, using my sword to parry his hits using the full blade drawn out to block him, we clashed evenly with me swinging my blade at him however he was fast enough to block each strike. I then saw an opening and went to strike.
"Dividing Wind" I chanted as I swing my blade with force and dashes through Atlas Flame seemingly decapitating him however his head reforms give it was his flame body.
"You still need to work on control of that sword, you still lack full control of the blade, hence it can only destroy and kill rather than save and protect."Altas Flames explained to me. It was clear I got much stronger, I could've killed Zirconis much easier now that I've gotten the hang of using the power of the, however, it was clear that it wasn't enough. "It seems you've still not gotten used to having that much power in your hands? It's understandable, the Hoshigami No Satsuki is a very demanding blade. It requires a very large amount of power to wield properly and an unstoppable willpower as well. You have the latter but you still lack the former." Altas Flames explained to me as his head reformed.
"I'm trying, it's just not easy keeping up with a Dragon, you guys are very powerful." I stated myself winded from the intense training session from hell.
"Yet you've made significant improvements in the past year, you just need to train more without pushing yourself too hard." Altas Flames replied.
"Very well then, I guess a break is handy." I responded truth is fighting against the intense heat of Altas Flames body was deeply exhausting
I took my break to drink some tea while I saw Lena within the Royal corners coming through. She was wearing an armored skirt with chainmail breastplate with a metal helmet with the signature metal horns on them. She carried a standard Iron shield with the symbol of a Dragon fighting alongside a woman dressed in white with the 5 flag banners of Dragonv with the coat of arms insignia. The Woman and dragon on the flag are black with outline and the background color is red with the words on the flag reading "Wings of Liberty".
"Hello, your majesty." Lena said to me with her timid voice.
"How many times must I tell you to lay off the formal greetings." I said with my friendly voice. My voice was becoming a lower tone like a royal woman as well over time.
"I would like to report that the mission to Twelve was a success, I was able to aid in protecting the Caravan, we didn't lose a single person to bandits and managed to avoid any rouge Dragons or monsters on the way." Lena explained to me reporting her success to me.
"Most impressive Lena, I'm glad I appointed you as the Commander of the Caravan Division. Thanks to your efforts, we've been able to restore our trade with the other neighboring countries." I replied recalling that Lena's prowess was so good she made a good defense for Caravans against bandits and other criminals targeting our supply routes.
"How's the training going?" Lena questioned wondering about my training results.
"Could be better but I do feel much stronger since the last time I fought Zirconis." I answered worn out training from Altas Flames.
"Great...I would like to stay and hang but I have another delivery to assist within Twelve, I would be gone for another few days, I was merely having a break here to give you a report and rest." Lena explained to me as she drinks from a wooden cup of water.
"Very well, hopefully when we return we can find some leisure time in our busy schedules and hang out as friends." I replied back.
Me and Lena really bonded within the last year, Lena became Commander of the Caravan Division due to her prowess of high defense, she was especially helpful in the Arid desert climates of Middle Earth Land. Thanks to her, we barely missed any major deliveries to our outposts in Zen, Gohra, Twelve and Ur Kingdoms.
Speaking of Middle Earthland, Lena told me that rumors had it that Anna was for the 12 Celestial Spirit keys within Middle Earthland as well as the One Magic. I hope she's safe now as that region of the world is not safe for a lone woman to travel, especially with wars having resumed being fought over the One Magic there since my mother's absence. I yet had the power to put an end to the conflict, hence why I strived to get stronger.
Lena was also appointed Captain of the Dragon Defense Corps, a special Civilian defense corp which specializes in protecting civilians and evacuating Civilians from dragon battles. Lena accepted that she can never fight a Dragon and disliked fighting in general hence she would help in training others in defense and learning defense spells, that's more than I can say for a certain metalhead who was presently challenging me who I happen to have run into while in the garden.
Erenjack grew considerably from when we first met over a decade ago. Erenjack was far taller now, he was several inches taller than me. He had some muscular to him with his red eyes having more glow to them with a sharp jawline. His hair was short and black with a bit of spiky look to it with a slightly tan complexion to him.
Having recently graduated within the Magic Academy, Erenjack was eager to join the Dragonv Army, perhaps far too eager.
"I want to assist you directly in combat my queen." said a young man who had 3 piercings on each side of the nose with short spiky black hair.
"How many times do I have to show you that there's little you can do Erenjack? I can barely defeat a Dragon, what thinks you can? You just graduated from the Magic Academy and have yet to enlist in the Dragonv Army" I asked him.
"I've been training just as hard as you have so I can fight at your side, your majesty." Erenjack stated overly happy in undergoing intense training.
"Fine if you want to prove you can keep up, then keep up with me then." I replied willingly to test out how strong Erenjack was.
"Very well then !"He responded happily as he takes out a large Hammer that was slung on his back ready to battle.
We put space between each other before we began our duel however before we began I got a message from Metalicana about something far more pressing.
"Queen Dragonv, urgent news!" Metalicana shouted panting as if he was out of breath rushing here.
"What is it Metalicana?" I asked him.
"There was a series of murders that occurred by an unknown killer within the Isvanivian Peninsula bordering Dragonv in the Northwest that started as early as yesterday." the Metal Dragon explained to me.
"What?" I asked horrified at what I was hearing.
"The murders occurred within hours of each other, 10 Dragons, 10 Giants and 10 Valkyries were killed, all of them associated with the Iron Dragons. This is making relations with Valkyria, Olaf and Isvan very dicey. The letter we got says that you must be summoned to solve the murders written by King Rey Fullbuster." Metalicana explained to me handing me a letter that fitted between the space of his claws, the fact he can hand this paper without tearing it easily was a testament to how controlled his strength was.
"Rey Fullbuster, you mean the legendary Ice Viking King? I can't believe I'm being called by him to solve these murders." I asked him shocked that I was being entrusted by the great Ice Viking King himself to solve this murder.
"You're being asked to travel to Isvan to solve the murders. He's trusting you to be able to deal with the growing tensions between Giants in Olaf, my Iron Dragon Tribe, and the Valkyrie." Metalicana said to me.
"Fighting a Dragon is one thing but you expect me to stop wars from breaking out too?" I asked Metaiclaian nervous about the task at hand. I was to solve an ongoing crisis on my own.
"You are the queen of the most powerful country on Earth. Your duty isn't merely to fight powerful Dragons but to also maintain the alliance of the few humans who can hold their own with Dragons... Giants have been living in Olaf for 300 years and have enough strength to hold their own against most Dragons ." Metalicana explained to me about the duty as I'm now the Emperor of the Dragons.
"Fair enough, we gotta take what we can in this upcoming war, you can count on me to settle this dispute and bring whoever is causing these murders to be put behind bars." I replied thinking about what mom would've done.
"Queen, can I come along? " Erenjack asked me with his puppy dog expression.
"If Lena was able to help me out last time as well as Anna, sure why not. Don't try to be the hero, if you're up against a Dragon, let me do the fighting okay. Remember you can't harm any of them with your magic, especially when you're not even a soldier yet." I explained to him as I was concern about Ernejack.
Erenjack was known for his reckless behavior, especially given he's a teenage boy, then again I was a fool myself to bring him along.
"Very well then, the fact I can serve you is good enough." he replied as he kneeled at my presence. If there's one thing I appreciated about Erenjack is that he was a hard worker and fiercely loyal to me. He was one of the best scoring kids of his grade and was doing training on his own so he can rise up the ranks.
"Metalicana, care to fly us to Isvan?" I asked him
"No problem queen, want me to fly slow for Erenjack?" I answered concerned that he would fall off and die if we flew too fast. After all, he wasn't experienced in flying on Dragons.
"No need, Erenjack come here." I asked him.
"Uh yes?" Erenjack answered with a question.
I put him in a hug from behind and held onto him with my grip.
"Fly around 1% of your speed Metalicana." I demanded my Metal Dragon sensei.
"Very well then."Metalicana replied as he flies up and then took off.
The Land of Isvan
The vast Peninsula known as the Isvanivian Peninsula bordered the country of Dragonv which is part of the Isgharian Continent. 3 Viking Kingdoms were formed within the Isvanivian Peninsula. The Kingdom of Valkyria, the home of the legendary Valkyrie race, a race of extremely powerful mages specializing within Rune Magic and Elemental Magic who are worshipped by Vikings as divine goddesses said to have their powers given to them by their god Odin that was between the Kingdom of Olaf in the west and the Land Isvan around its eastern border. The Kingdom of Olaf, a Kingdom run by Viking Giants borders directly with my kingdom Dragonv and the westernmost Country, Isvan, a country inhabited by human Vikings who are lead by a very powerful Viking King Rey Fullbuster, known as the King of Vikings.
Me and Erenjack rocketed it off from Whitestone One to Isvan within a few minutes with me holding Erenjack from behind so he doesn't fall over and die. as we past through countless evergreen forests and frost covered mountains with snow covering the landscapes of the whole Peninsula which if compared to the rest of the Isgjhalian Content alone would engulf the area eqaulivent from as West as the City of Athena in the the kingdom of Graceia or modern day Caelum to as eastbound as Whitestone One in Dragonv. The Isvanivian Peninsula rivals the size and mass of the mainland continental Peninsula and makes almost half the size of Isghar.
It took us roughly 1 in a half hours with Metalcaina to reach the capital city of Capital City of Silver Lake City, a trip that would take at least 2 months on a horse carriage to reach there. The houses were largely simple log cabin style houses and longhouses that dot the city with the city being roughly the same size as Magnolia Town. Despite it being May, it was snowing within the country due to its close proximity to the Articita Ice continent in the north which made it snow in the country for almost 10 months in a year. It made our long winters seem like summers by comparison.
"Man it's cold as here!" I said to Metalicana freezing from the intense cold weather.
"Indeed, this weather is insanely cold and this is coming from a resident of Dragonv." Erenjack responded shivering as well.
"This is one of the coldest regions in the world, now then I'll assemble a team to search for the killer." Metalicana replied as he flew off.
"We need a fresh pair of clothing stat." Erenjack said to me who was also shivering from the cold.
We both quickly went to a clothing bazaar and got ourselves fur coats. I had a white fur coat on with a fur hat made from Snow Wolf Hide while Erenjack had a brown fur coat and brown fur hat made from the Isvanivian Mammoth Orges. It cost is roughly 1,000 rupees which were nothing to me as Queen of an entire kingdom.
"Much better!" Erenjack said feeling a sigh of relief as his body was now warm again thanks to the Brown Mammoth Orge fur coat.
"Indeed, now onto the king's castle." I responded feeling great in my new White Snow Wolf Hide.
We made it to the castle known as Ragnar Castle. The castle as a giant ring fortress style castle with a very large perimeter and a wall made out of entire Tree logs. The castle was roughly the size of a small mountain that was made out of tree logs. The stronghold was a perfect circle with an outer diameter of 1.4 Kilometers with the walls being over 144 meters high, the main building of the castle was 10 Dragon stories tall and was 500 meters wide made entirely out of wood. It had a 200-acre courtyard with the castle as well, this castle had existed at least 1,000 years.
Despite the simple design of the castle, the interior was a nice palace that had plenty of Viking warriors guarding it with the scruffy beards and clothing. Statues of their gods Odin, Loki, and Thor were within the castle, Odin being an old man having one eye and Thor wielding a mighty hammer. Women armed with shields known as Shieldmaidens were also guarding the castle. Despite being known for barbarism and violence and raiding, these Vikings are surprisingly more civilized compared to the folklore about them.
It was then me and Erenjack arrived at the throne room. Beside the king was a woman who had blonde hair that had several braids on the side who wore a crown on her head. She was a beautiful tall woman who kinda resembles mom in terms of facial structure and body structure. She had a blue shield with her with the symbol of a raven on it and wore a beautiful long fur cape and gown, she wore a regal blue dress underneath her. She was a few years younger than the king. I kinda wish I was a guy because boy would I loved to do things with her, she was like any young man's fantasy of an older woman come true.
The king himself was a devilishly handsome man roughly the same age as father. He was a tall, well-built man with black eyes. He had short spiky hair with thick sideburns with show peach fuzz for a beard and mustache and had a long scar extending from his hairline to his lower left ear. If looks can impregnate, I would've had 32 babies already.
It was hard to maintain my composure of him. He was wearing a thick gray fur coat said to be made from the fur of the Legendary Silver Wolf King, He had a crown that was a Viking helmet adorned with Jewels and Gemstones with bullhorns. He had leather armor common of Viking warriors with his arms having scars of the many battles and raids he's done.
"So you must be the Queen of Dragons? Been a long time since I've seen your face, Irene Dragonvich." King Rey said to me with his mature sexy voice. If he didn't have a wife already, I would gladly be married to him so he can impregnate me.
"But I've never seen you before!" I answered blushing uncontrollably.
"Irene are you alright?" Erenjack asked me but I was in a trance of thinking of myself in the place of his wife...Better yet his wife teaching me how to please her husband.
"I have, your mother was one hell of a woman to have fought an entire battle while pregnant. I was one of the people who was doing battle against the Amazonians." King Rey explained to me that he was one of the elite warriors who battled against the Amazonian tribes.
"Whoa, so you fought alongside mom and dad? Awesome, no wonder you look so badass. What about you ?" I replied excited I'm meeting a legendary Viking.
"I was still in training and wasn't strong enough to get into the Amazonian War yet I helped King Rey untie the many warring Viking tribes that were attempting to revert back to raiding Seven, Bosco and Fiore." Rey's wife explained to me explaining she was not strong enough to aid in the Amazonian wars yet mighty enough to unite the Viking cultures together.
"I was going to ask about that, I thought the Vikings were known for raiding and pillaging yet you guys seem to have an organized society here."Erenjack stated referring to the fact that historically Vikings were loosely organized societies of warriors and bandits.
"You can thank the previous Queen of Dragons for that one. She kicked my ass so badly I got the scar on my face to prove it, that won me my respect and hence we organized things around here, we haven't lost our Viking traditions, we just feel less willing to steal as we have for 3 centuries since we got a trade route going between us, Seven, Bosco and Fiore as well as Dragonv." Rey explained to me how my mother untied Vikings to be allies, my mothers effect of the world still is present despite her premature death.
"Whoa, so mom was the reason the Vikings stopped stealing?" I asked him shocked.
"Your mother also trained me to be the strongest shield maiden in the country, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Queen Katerina Fullbuster, a pleasure to meet you daughter of Écarlate." the queen introduced herself to me, this woman was trained by mother, meaning she could be very handy in helping me attain my level of power I desire.
"Pleasure to meet you two as a fellow queen. Wait you said mother trained you right?" I asked her.
"Correct" she answered.
"That means she trained you to cut Iron right? Before I resume my mission, can you demonstrate how you cut iron? I want to learn how to do it." I asked her desperately given that's the only thing that has eluded me for so long.
"I guess I can show a demonstration!" Katerina replied as she walked up and showed me a large Iron Bar the size of her body while withdrawing her gold-plated sword from her gemstone embedded scabbard.
"To do so, you must concentrate your energy into the blade. You then swipe at what you don't want to cut" said to me as she swiped as her fur coat she threw into the air which didn't even scratch the coat." and then you swing at the object you want to cut" she said to me as she swung her blade at the Iron beam, slicing it cleanly in half with little effort.
"Amazing!" I said shocked at what I saw. She effortlessly sliced through Iron with no wasted motion.
"I would teach you more but there are pressing matters in hand." Katerina said to me as she withdrew her blade back into the scabbard.
"Right the murders!" I replied thinking back on track.
"We want you to examine what was the cause of these murders. Come with me." Rey said to me as I followed him while crushing over him.
I walked with him to the courtyard closed due to the investigation, much to my horror, 10 Dragons, 10 Giants, and 10 Valkyries lied mutilated and chopped up.
"Holy hell!"I shouted in terror."What happened here?"
"Those were the condition we found the bodies." The king answered looking sternly at the corpses.
"Can you tell us who did this?" Katerina asked me knowing my knowledge of Dragons.
I examined the brutally decapitated corpses. It looked like they were hacked apart cleanly, to clean and precise to be done with any weaponry done by any weaponry, no human could ever hope to scratch a Dragon and to cut down even low-level Valkyries and Giant Warriors would require the strength of thousands of men. Metal Dragons aren't known for precision cuts like this, they're more about blunt force so that rules out another Metal Dragon, giants are equally more about power...There could only be one possible culprit, a Blade Dragon.
"It had to be a Blade Dragon, distant cousin tribes of the Iron Dragon's, one of the few Dragons capable of cutting apart an Iron Dragon. Don't worry King, we'll investigate the matter further." I explained to the two looking at the precise cuts.
"Blade Dragons? I thought they were on your side queen!" Erenjack asked me baffled at what we heard.
"Apparently we got a rogue one on the loose." I replied.
1 hour later.
We met Metalicaina on the outskirts of the town to explain what I've learned from the King.
"So you're saying that a Blade Dragon might've done this? That would explain how even Iron Dragons were killed, ablet it, low class, Iron Dragon's. Blade Dragons are Dragons trained to be capable of cutting even Dragon Iron."Metalicana explained to looking very concerned about this gripping his chin.
"It was a horrific sight." Erenjack replied shaking from the amount of blood there.
"Any Blade Dragons who recently were discharged from the army?" I asked the Metal Dragon King.
"There's one I have recently, if my memory serves correctly, it was Scissor Runner. " Metalaciaina answered.
"Scissor Runner?" I asked him.
"That's what he called himself. During the Last Dragon War, he became known as Scissor Runner, his actual name was Kefblade. If what you said was true about the wounds being a Blade Dragon it's likely him. I've not seen him since the end of the Dragon War. I'm starting to think training him was a major mistake." Metalicana explained to me having regret training him.
"Any possibility of his whereabouts?" I asked him.
"Last time I checked, he was within the Ore Mountains between the borders of Olaf and Dragonv in a village known as Derevnya ." Metalicana explained to me.
"Then we'll begin our search there." I replied.
"Man we're hunting a rogue Dragon, this is crazy. Erenjack said to me looking excited he can hunt down something for me.
"Be careful, this is not a threat you can fight. Even I'm unsure if I can take it in a direct fight." I replied to him.
Hours later
Derevnya ( Деревня Conrary Village in Russian)
Me and Erenjack flew on Metalicana again to arrive at the Ore Mountains to search for his former residence for any clues of his whereabouts but we found nothing yet.
We eventually trekked into his village. 383km northwest of Whitestone One near the Olaf-Dragonv border was a small mining town of Derevnya. The small town was also a dragon town that had 500 dragons, mostly Iron Dragons who mined the vast Iron Ore mines within the Ore Mountains, about 5,000 humans lived within the snow-covered town, little did we know or expect was the fact the town was already gone.
I walked through the cobblestone streets of the village and both me and Erenjack threw up at the ghastly display of butchered Dragons, all of the people in the village from young Dragon babies to elderly Dragons, no one was spared the butchering, it was the most horrific sight to see once living beings chopped up needlessly into cold cuts.
"He destroyed his own home, worse he butchered the whole village he was living in." I said gasped at what I saw...i couldn't believe it, someone so deranged to kill off everyone he knew and love.
"This is worse than we thought possible. He either gets off to the thrill of butchering Dragons or worse, he's trying to become stronger bathing in the blood of Dragons, this could be a problem." Metalicana stated I've never seen him this nervous before nor horrified, especially from a Dragon with literal nerves of steel.
"So he's a fucking serial killer? The last thing we need is a deranged blade Dragon." Erenjack started losing confidence.
"Metalicana, assemble a hunting party, we need to find this killer before he takes more innocent lives. This Dragon would pay for his heinous crimes, I'll avenge the people butchered in Derevnya." I replied as anger seeped from my hands as the blood caused by me clenching my fist in rage.
"Right princess, be on high alert, this guy is very dangerous." Metalicana replied as he flies off in a blinding dash, this was going to get ugly when even a seasoned veteran of war was nervous.
Hours later.
Gornyy Massiv Oblast (Горный массив Ore Mountain range in Russian) , Olaf-Dragonv Border
Me and Ernejack searched the mountainscape for hours on where he might be hiding, Searching the entire mountain range was a tedious and exhausting process. The Ore Mountain range was the largest deposits of Iron Ores in the country with the region itself 3 times larger than the entire country of Fiore. Finding where this Serial killer is hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack, especially with freezing temperatures and rough terrain, Eventually, we made camp within the forest resting up. We set up a tent and campfire and had some roasted wolves though we had problems eating after the slaughter we've seen before us hours ago.
"Nervous?"I asked him trying to overcome the fear and horror myself.
"After seeing all those atrocities, it's hard to eat food, especially think about the poor families who no longer exist and the fact they looked like chopped up meat in a bazaar."Erenjack explained to me with tears in his eyes.
"I know how you feel, it's not easy seeing this myself...that bastard Scissor Runner went too far in butchering others however it would do us no good if we attempt to fight him on an empty stomach, we just need to repress our thoughts with something else to ignore the horror we saw and press on." I explained to him trying to get over my own traumatized state as I forced myself to eat the cooked wolf.
After we had our fill we went to sleep it off. I had my own dream about Rey shirtless laying in my castle bed with his wife Katerina naked.
"Come to bed with us." Rey said to me shirtless with the blanket covering his manhood.
"We want to have you with us to teach you things."Katerina replied.
"Call me daddy baby." I replied as I was dreaming about being in a threesome with Rey and his wife.
I had some pretty twisted wet dreams when I was younger looking back at it, I wanted to bang a man old enough to be my father and a woman at the same time who was old enough to be my mother, it was so arousing I was wetting the bed in different ways than before, something that didn't go unnoticed by Erenjack.
"Man is it me or did she become bustier, more beautiful and hotter."Erenjack said to himself as he looked at my body as I slept. He then noticed the puddle I made there "Is she having a wet dream?"
Funny I don't remember Erenjacks actual thoughts do I yet I can somehow vividly remember them, oh well. At the time I had no clue on how much Erenjack wanted me, I was a fool not to notice his feelings.
"She's no longer a shy, timid girl, she's all woman...No I can't, she's my best friend and the queen...But she's so hot.."Erenjack nervously said to himself as he was about to reach down his trousers however I woke up though to hear a sound.
"Something wrong Erenjack?"I asked him clueless only for me to notice the puddle "Crap I pissed the bed again..."I said nervously knowing it wasn't pissed.
"It happens right...especially when you're against a slasher Dragon." I replied trying to downplay the fact I just had a wet dream near my best friend with my face turning red.
However, during that embarrassing moment, it came upon me, we didn't check hard enough in the ruins of the village.
"It just dawned on me, let's go back to the village." I said to Erenjack.
"Right!" He replied as he went with me to the village.
Back at Derevnya
We arrived back at the village when we went through the house of Scissor Runner. The simple looking cottage was one dragon story tall but in simple human terms, it would be akin to attempting to climbing a 13 story High Rise Building. We went through the massive door with me cutting a hole through at least a full meter thick of wood. We scaled up the table and came across a discovery, a large letter that was signed in blood, A letter so large that it could fit perfectly in the hands of a Dragon but be twice as long as our bed sheets.
"Dear Scissor Runner. The Dark Dragon Tribe saw potential in your skills, if you kill the queen of Valkyria, King of Isvan and King of Olaf all at once, we would give you a sanctuary to butcher anyone you want...Sincerely the Dark Dragon Tribe." the letter read looking like it was sent a week prior to the recent massacres due to dried up blood on the large sheet of paper
"So that's why he's doing his butchering...That means he's targeting the summit tomorrow." I said to Erenjack frightened at the reality of what was going on. Siccor Runner was going to take out the 3 Isvanivian Kings in one fell swoop.
"Queen look out!" Ernejack shouted as he knocked me out as a massive claw came towards us but a split second we ducked under the monstrous claw as the house was completely destroyed in one blow.
"Looks like you two found out about my plan to become part of the Dark Dragon Tribe. I can't have you brats ruining my plans." the Dragon said to me as he revealed his identity to me.
The purple scaled Dragon towered larger than Zirconis ever did. He had a narrow head with two huge spines jetting from his chin and forehead which claps together like a pair of Scissors. It was like looking at mutated beetle in the form of a Dragon. He seems to have given himself a tattoo have a dark and swirling pattern, which somewhat resembles the pattern found on butterfly wings. His scales were all ridged and blade like the ridges on a knife which were so sharp that anything near him got cut.
"So you butchered your entire village and your family members? YOU BASTARD, HOW COULD YOU DO ALL THIS ?"I shouted in intense anger as I lost my cool in the presence of such an evil and vile Dragon.
"Simple, IT'S FUCKING FUN! I LOVE CHOPPING THINGS APART! BUILDINGS, MOUNTAINS, HUMANS DRAGONS! IT DOESN'T MATTER, I LOVE CHOPPING THEM ALL UP, IT'S BEAUTIFUL ART, I ESPECIALLY LOVE IT WHEN THEY SCREAM BACK!" The psychotic Dragon laughed as I heard him also clasp his scissor-like jaws together.
"This guy is completely deranged."Erenjack said to me while notably frightened from his murderous intent, Erenjack was able to put up a brave front but I can tell the fear he wasn't ready to fight this thing.
"Erenjack, get out of here now."I told him knowing the threat ahead of me, he was powerful no doubt, I wasn't sure even with my training I could win.
"But Queen!" Erenjack asked as he wanted to stand his ground.
"Don't be a hero Erenjack, even if you can somehow hurt Dragons, you're the worst match against him. He's a Blade Dragon, a cousin race of the Iron Dragons. While the power is overall weaker than a Grand Iron Dragon, their powers are superior to a normal Iron Dragon, they also possess the ability to use magic to make themselves their element. Get Mealicaina here immediately." I commanded Erenjack worrying rightfully so that I might not be skilled enough to take him alone.
"What about you? I can't leave you alone my queen!" Erenjack said to me showing he cared more about protecting me than he did his own life.
"I got this! You find Metalicana and get to Ivsen immediately, tell them that this psychopath has been butchering everything. Also get back up, I'm not sure how long I can fight him for." I replied as Erenjack walked away notably frustrated.
"Right...I believe in you, you can win Irene, you are the Queen of Dragons."Erenjack replied confronting me with his words as he ran to get back up. He had more faith in my ability than I had at the time, he really was a good friend.
"Oh, the greatest glory is being able to chop up the daughter of the dreaded Queen Écarlate. For too long the Dragonvich family has oppressed us Dragons into doing our true nature which is to kill and butcher. hell if anything I find it ironic humans are trying to prevent us from butchering when they're butchering each other as we speak." Scissor Runner laughed with his twisted repulsive laughter taking in such delight in human suffering and Dragon suffering alike.
"Shut up, don't try to justify your insane sociopathy to butcher people." I shouted at him as I gripped my blade ready to cut him down with fury.
"Justify? I don't need to, I'm proud of my ability to murder, kill and butcher, it's a glorious work of art. You've seen my handiwork, didn't you? Love it don't you?" the vile Dragon mocked as he takes delight in his heinous crimes.
"It enrages me beyond no bound that you would butcher your own neighborhood,.you're own family members, even children? You disgust me...YOU'RE GOING TO ATONE FOR YOUR SINS!" I shouted with intense fury as I drew my blade ready to cut him down.
"And what you're going to do, chop me up as you did to Zirconis? Oh boy, that was a deliciously beautiful artwork you did for a beginner, you have it right in you don't you Killer? " Scissor Runner asked me trying to dig up the fact that I was traumatized by the first life I took.
"Don't compare me to you! I'm not a sociopath who enjoys killing. I'm here to end you." I retorted.
"HAHAHA! How cute, I'm aware you're powers are still immature, hence I massacred all those villagers, so I can lure you out and kill you. Once I do that and eat you, I would have the magical power to do the same to everyone else in this region and I would be free to butcher people as much as my heart's content. I will massacre everything that breathes." Scissor Runner laughed with his arrogant sociopathic laugh.
"Are you insane? You kill everyone, you have no one to rule over."I asked him trying to put logic in the mind of a completely deranged killer.
"Like I care else. I want to go down in history as the greatest Serial Killer ever, to kill everything that exists. I would go down as the Dragon who cut down the young queen of Dragons before she reached her prime. Hence I lured you out and hence I would also lure out the 3 kings to be butchered, it would be a glorious feast of blood, gore, and bile everywhere. I would be so glorious that I would be taught in classrooms." Scissor Runner shouted as he gets really excited.
"You're nothing more than a deranged criminal who needs to be executed." I replied as I readied myself and got into my combat stance with my blade gripped in both hands.
"Deranged criminal, no I'm an artist, a great and powerful artist who uses his blades to carve out beautiful artwork. Now let's make a beautiful canvas from your body. CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP" Scissor Runner gloated as he clashed together his claws and vibrated his Pincer horns to the point they sounded like chainsaws. I was up against a completely deranged lunatic, unlike anyone I've ever faced.
"Fine, you want me, you're going to regret fighting me. I will put an end to your barbarous, treasonous ways." I shouted as I leaped into the air and prepared to use my attack however he blocked my attack effortlessly turning his forearm into a blade and pushing me back meters towards the ground.
"Not bad, however, you gotta do much better than that against a Blade Dragon little girl." Scissor Runner said to me as he licked his bladed forearm with his bladed tongue.
Me and Scissor Runner clash with my Hoshigami No Satsuki within it's sheathed Washikzi form clashing much more evenly than I did against Zirconis showing him much I've improved in just a year, however, I was at a disadvantage. While I finally learned to cut Iron, cutting the scales of an Iron Dragon is another story, despite the impact force, my blows weren't doing anything other than parry his blows. Worse, he was a blade Dragon, he was virtually immune to all bladed weapons, however, the Hoshigami No Satsuki can still cut him, I just need to learn to cut Iron to do so.
"Not bad but you can't hope to cut me with a blade, I'm immune to blades bitch! No sword could cut me, especially an unmastered Hoshigami No Satsuki." Scissor Runner mocked, despite the force knocking him around, I couldn't cut him much as I feared going into the battle.
"Like I need a fully mastered blade to cut you down, you're not worthy of it. Dividing Wind" I shouted as I dashed at him and pulled off a powerful dashing slash however the slash only knocks back Scissor Runner several meters into a tree which gets split apart into many pieces.
"He's not going to be easy to beat, however, I can do this!" I said to myself trying to assure myself that I could do this.
"Not bad but try not being chopped up so fast! Blade Dragon Claw" Scissor Runner shouted as he came at me with his fingers turned into blades however before he was able to touch my skin with those blades, I was able to block his strike with my sword and hold it back.
"He's very strong, could he got stronger killing his own village or was he always this strong?" I said to myself as I struggled to maintain footing against his claw pushing me back with my feet being pushed to the ground.
"Not bad but let's see how you about to handle more." Scissor Runner as he threw 20 more slashes at that same level at me.
I barely blocked against his fury of slashes with each slash tearing parts of my clothes merely from the slash wave being blocked. I then managed to clash with full strength for his remaining blows. It was clear I had the power edge on him for I've yet to use the full power of my blade or enchantments however it was becoming clear I wasn't getting anywhere fighting.
"Enough playing around. Enchantments Arms+Armor+Vernier Braveheart." I shouted as I fought with more fury and then leaped into the ar and attempted to cut down Scissor Runner turning my small sword into a katana, I successfully knock him down and created a small crater smashing him to the ground. That strike should've at least scratch him but it didn't.
"HAHAHAHA! YOU CALL THAT A SLASH!"Scissor Runner laughed as there wasn't even a chip or dent on his entire body, the scales of a blade Dragon was no joke.
"No way that should've at least scratch you, that same movie could've killed Zirconis in one hit." I said to Scissor Runner as I felt my arm in pain clashing with his scales.
"I look like that chickenshit weakling to you? Now then. CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP!" Scissor Runner shouted as he dashed at me like a wild tiger determined to slash me apart."Blade Dragon Talon." the Dragon roared as he did a roundhouse kick with his left foot aimed at my head however before it took off my head, I was able to block against his vicious blow.
Scissor Runner then goes for his bladed tail to attack me in the chest but I blocked his attack as well. Time was running out, I only had a minute left to get a fatal blow before my Katana turns back into a Wazashiki and is within it's sealed state, at that point, I had no chance of killing Scissor Runner.
"Blade Dragon Iron Fist!" Scissor Runner as he threw his right hook towards me with such intensity that I have barely blocked the attack as I was being pushed back by the punch as the attack itself created slash waves that destroyed nearby buildings and cut my shoulder
"AARRGH!"I shouted as the strike produced slash waves which cut into my shoulders. I struggled to hold back but I couldn't hold back the attack longer staggering from the pain on her left shoulder.
"HAHAHA! YOU CAN'T FULLY BLOCK THE POWER OF THE BLADE DRAGON, NOW GET CHOPPED UP!"Scissor Runner frantically laughed as he goes to chop me up as I'm pushed back through several abandoned buildings with the insane force of his punch unto I crashed into a rock formation outside of town being dragged a mile through the ground.
"NOW TIME FOR MY FINALE! CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP CHOP!"Scissor Runner shouted with his frantic laughing as he came at me.
I was in serious trouble. My left arm was not moving, it was hanging limp, blood was covering my body and I was under a pile of rubble. I had to not give up and ignore my injuries but every step I took, I felt like my body was being crushed by an elephant despite shaking off the rubble.
"I'm not giving up now!" I said to him standing defiantly as I used my working right arm to pick up the 5 story rock I was crushed under and tossed it towards the Dragon. I know it wasn't enough to even come close to hurting him but it would buy me time.
"You think that I'll be hurt by this puny rock, get real!" Scissor Runner stated as he effortlessly shattered the rock with his body. however, it was a distraction to my setup.
"Demon Scarlet Fang!" I shouted with intensity as I came down at his neck with the same slash that brought down Zirconis once and for all, the slash was able to bring him down and I assume the battle was over...That is until he turned his entire body into a blade to shield himself from the attack, worse he was rotating his scales like a saw blocking my sword attack for
"I must admit you almost had me there queen, but as you can see there's nothing you can do to cut through me."Scissor Runner laughed as he pushed back my blade and knocks me back having my feet skid on the floor.
"How's it possible to move blades like that?" I asked him shocked to see his blades moving like that, something that could only be done by magic.
"Good effort but you're done for! CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP CHOP!" Scissor Runner shouted as he swung his massive tail, knocking me so hard that I didn't even realize I hit a nearby mountain causing me to feel immense pain in my back.
"AARRGH!"I grunted in pain as I could barely move from the immensely powerful tail smack. First, my shoulder and now my back was aching in pain. I was hit pretty hard in the solar plexus by the tail whip as well. I struggled to stand but blood was coming out of my mouth"Damn it...it can't end like this."
"BLADE DRAGON ROAR!" Scissor Runner shouted as he shot his massive Dragon roar towards me. The Dragon Roar contained highly pressured slash waves heading towards me.
I held the attack back with everything I got but the attack was too much as I'm engulfed in a defeating explosion so immense that the mountain was destroyed but the mountain was cut up into millions of pieces.
To my surprise, I survived the attack but barely, I was in a much worse shape than I was against Zirconis. My clothing was shredded through, my breast laid bare with cuts all over my frontal body, thankfully blocking the Dragon Roar prevented any vitals from being struck however I was still a mess, I had 1,000 cuts all over me. I could barely stand from the back pain from the previous blow, I can barely breathe from the tail whip earlier and I could barely hold my blade.
"Damn it... come on, grow blade.." I shouted desperately as I struggle to stay conscious as my body was barely responding to my mind. I tried to fight it but It was to no avail, I felt like I was dying, all my training was failing me.
"Now for the main course!" Scissor Runner said to me as he came towards me about to devour me alive.
"Metal Make Hammer!" Ernejack shouted as he hits the Dragon square in the mouth with a powerful massive mallet hitting the tongue while it was caught off guard.
"Erenjack! I told you to flee." I shouted barely able to stand. In all fairness, had not for him we would've been done for.
"I didn't come alone. When I when to get back up they arrived!" Erenjack Explained to me as Scissor Runner came towards Erenjack pissed for hurting his tongue.
"Holy Ice Deep Freeze!" Rey chanted as he managed to freeze Scissor Runner Solid whit his Ice magic He was able to freeze Scissor Runner solid with ease.
"Incredible!"I said to him.
"That would only hold him in place for a bit, frankly my powers are poorly matched against a Blade Dragon, even if they're merely a C rank class Dragon. Katerina gets Irene to strength faster, it's been a while since I had to fight a strong opponent, I'm not sure how long an old man like me can fight this Dragon." Rey said to him, despite being stronger than Scissor Runner by a wide margin, his opponent was still a Dragon and was one matched against his element.
Katerina was healing my serious wounds by uses a special healing ointment and herbs to treat me.
"Take these herbs, you're in bad shape. I'll guard you while my husband buys time." Katerina explained to me.
"Right!" I responded getting my wounds treated.
"We can hold him off until you're able to give one last goal, just remember what I showed you before," Katerina explained to me with her clam regal tone as she was treating my wounds.
Scissor Runner breaks out of the ice very annoyed by the ice.
"Damn human fly!"Scissor Runner comes at Rey but he counters with his own attack.
"Holy Ice Wave!" Rey countered as he swiped his right hand producing an ice wave knocking back the Dragon on his back hitting its chest with the wave of power. Despite not doing any damage to the Dragon's scales, the attack did seem to do something to a punch in the face.
"Hmmm, you're way more fun to start chopping King Rey!" he said to the Viking king.
"Perhaps you would be more fun than I thought!" Rey replied as he took out a massive battle Axe in his right hand while having ice forming in his left hand.
Scissor Runner and Rey clashed attacks with each other. Despite being a human, Rey was keeping up against Scissor Runner far better than I was. Siccor Runner did his fury of blows against Rey but Rey is able to easily dodged the attacks and manages to land powerful blows with his ax and his ice knocking around Scissor Runner. Scissor Runner was becoming worn out fighting Rey despite barely taking a scratch.
"I must admit human, had not for the poor capability of your element to my powers, you could've actually killed me. Tough shit human looks like you've taken everything you got now, time to finish this!" Scissor Runner said as he came at Rey hitting through his body with his Dragon Claws.
"REY !" I shouted horrified at the brutal impalement.
"Look again!" Katerina replied as Scissor Runner realized he hit an ice clone which freezes his boy.
"What? "Siccor Runner asked shocked.
"I got you now! Holy Ice Volcano!" Rey chanted as he creates a massive ice explosion doing light damage to the Dragon knocking him into the air
"What? How did a human send me flying?" Scissor Runner said shocked by the force he was knocked up only to see Rey above him with a massive mallet roughly the size of a 2 story building.
"Ice Make: Mjolnir"Rey chanted as he smacked the Dragon down with full force knocking Scissor Runner so hard, he created a crater crashing down with the force so strong, the Dragon was out cold for a bit.
"Amazing, he knocked the Dragon out cold!" I said shocked at how he was able to fight Scissor Runner without breaking a sweat despite not being able to harm him past the scales.
"It's not enough, at best we have 5 minutes to heal you before he gets back up." Katerina said to me as she was patching me up.
Rey was worn out from the spell panting heavily from the use of that spell.
"Now then, I can use a moment to ..." before he can react, he's slashed down by Scissor Runner who got back up in 30 seconds getting back up looking like all he got was a bad headache.
"You saved me the trouble of hunt you guys, I must admit, had not for vibrating my body, you two would've done more damage, not bad for humans. You two are at your limits as I can tell, shame I was hoping for much better challenges. Time to kill the queen of Dragons first." Scissor Runner said praising the fact he got knocked out as he rushed towards me and Katerina while I'm healing up.
However, Erenjack stopped him using his Metal Make.
"Metal Make: Iron Wall" Erenjack chanted as he forms 10 Iron walls each a meter thick stopping Scissor Runner a bit with him trying to hold back the Dragon for a few minutes..
"Annoying fly." the dragon mocked as he effortlessly overpowers through the walls punching through them like wet paper and managed to seriously impale Erenjack with his Pincer-like claws much to my horror.
"ARRRGH!" Erenacjk shouted as his abdomen was impaled by the claw. Blood gushed out of his chest and abdomen.
"ERENJACK!" I shouted in horror as I saw his body stuck to a Dragon.
"Not bad human, you slowed me down even if it's for a split second, you have a decent amount of power, you would make a good snack."Scissor Runner laughed as he was about to devour my childhood friend alive, I couldn't let him do that.
"Hoshigami No Satsuki Extend!" I chanted as I slice through the edge of the horn cleanly spilt it in half freeing Erenjack from ti's clutches.
"ARRGH!" Scissor Runner shouted as blood gushed from his severed horn as he riles in pain. I leaped high to catch Erenjack who was seriously injured from the large claw stuck into his abdomen.
"Erejack, are you alright..." I asked him as I held onto his chest. He was losing a lot of blood fast, I wasn't sure how long he had to live."Katerina got more herbs? "
"Yes, I have the last ones left,"Katerina answered as she dug through the bag to get the herbs.
"Use them on Erenjack, if we can stabilize him, we can get him to Grandeeney, this bastard is going down once and for all." I replied as I stared at the best with fury building up. I didn't want to dull my blade with anger but at the same time, angry flew through me.
"You little shit, you ruined my perfect pincer, you're going to die you little shit. I might be missing my top but I can still sheer you in half. Only fitting you meet the fate of your mother. Now time to show you why I'm named "Scissor Runner " in the last Dragon War. Running Scissors...CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP!" The Dragon shouted as he dashed towards me moving at full speed moving like a Lightning bolt, spinning the blades like buzzsaws, something unheard of at the time.
"Now I know, how to cut him..." I said to myself as I remembered Zeusei's training from before and Katerina training prior. I closed my eyes feeling the energy flow through my blade as it happened to a point and before his pinches where to bisect me in half. "Dividing Wind!" I chanted as I swung my blade with energy and power.
The blade slashed cleanly through the bladed scales. I struck blood as my blade sliced Scissor Runner from left hip to right shoulder splitting him open with a brutal slash. Had not for his Bladed body, I would've cut him in half.
"Impossible, I've been cut through."The Dragon roared as he struggled to stand as blood gushed out of his gaping torso wound. I was barely standing
I tried to draw my blade again but my body was at its limit I could barely stand, that slash took everything I had and more to slice his metal body cleanly as I did.
"Good going Irene, not time to finish this with my ultimate spell. Holy Ice Gungnir." Rey said to me as he was planning on throwing the attack into his open wounds and kill him with a blast of frozen ice in the large gash against his Dragon scales aiming his attack.
However, before we can do that the Dragon grabs Erenjack and holds him hostage alongside Katerina.
"AARRGGHH!"Erenjack shouted.
"Damn it !"Katerina shouted caught by surprise by the Dragon.
"Coward put my wife down!" Rey shouted.
"Don't try anything funny or she gets it!" Scissor Runner replied laughing as he held Enrejack hostage. Erenjack was in such a horrific condition that even a single tap from the Dragon would be fatal.
"Feind, how can you do this? " I shouted with fury, I was powerless to do anything without risking harm to Erenjack
"You have two choices Queen, either surrender yourself to be chopped up or your friends die." Scissor Runner said to me as he inched his claw nail close to Erenjack's neck, just one slip up would cleanly decapitate my friend, I couldn't afford to make a rash move.
"IRENE NO!" Katerina shouted as she tried to get back up and go to fight him but I stopped her.
"Fine, you win." I responded as I bent down and kneels to drop my weapon. I then took a long walk towards the Dragon expecting it to spare my friend as he put them down.
"Don't do it !" Katerina shouted.
"If I don't Enrejack would die! Stand down!" I said to my sensei as I stood ready to take the hit.
"Damn it!" Katerina shouted as he gripped her sword in anguish.
"He did as he promised surprisingly as he lowered Enrejack into Katerina's arms.
"Now time for a nice finale! CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP CHOP!" Scissors Runner laughed as I stood like a statue ready to be mauled by the Blade Dragon's claws, preparing myself for death.
However, before I knew it Altas Flames appeared as punched him squarely in the face knocking back the dragon to the ground several dozen meters away.
"YOU MONSTER, YOU WOULD PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES!" Altas Flames shouted enraged with anger as his flames burned with intense rage.
"Atlas Flame!"I shouted happy to see him.
"Atlas Flame, I've always wanted to chop you up so well. Finally something worth truly killing CHOPPITY CHOP CHOP CHOP!" Altas Flames laughed as he clasped his claws against each other and then clasped his pincers.
Scissor Runner came at Altas Flames but the attempts to cut Altas were futile as he regenerated with his flame body just standing there as a weakened Siccor Ruiner however he tanked each attack.
"You done? " Altas Flames asked unamused by the evil Dragon 's killing intent.
"Hardly, Running Scissors!" He ran past Altas flames and chopped the Dragon in half cleanly.I DID IT, I CHOPPED UP ATAS FLAMES!" Scissor runner bragged onto to see Altas Flames reform easily from being cut in half.
"Was that all you've got?" Altas Flames asked him completely unfazed by Scissor Runner's strongest attack.
"Impossible, you shouldn't have done that even with your powers." Scissor Runner said shocked as he slowly backed away in fear up against a far superior Dragon.
"This is for everyone you've hurt!" Altas Flames shouted as his body glowed with intense flames as everything around got engulfed in a blaze with all the snow melting around him.
"So intense!" I shouted as I felt like I was too close to a campfire as he went to attack.
"Try hitting me while I have the queen as a hostage!" Scissor Runner shouted as he dashed towards me attempting to grab me while I was barely able to move to use me as a hostage.
"No, you don't! HellFire Dragon Iron Fist!" Altas Flames chanted as he threw a punch so fast that not even Scissor Runner could react to as he was in midair about to grab him. Scissor Runner was hit by a punch so devastating, all the blade like scales melt off and he was knocked out with a single punch to the jaw.
"Excellent Job Altas Flame, looks like you really saved the day."I said to him excited that he came back to save all of us.
"He would face trial for his crimes he committed." Atlas Flames said to me as the other Dragons arrived.
"We need to get Erenjack healed before it's…."I said to Ernejack only for me to pass out from my injuries.
One Week Later.
I spent a week in the hospital due to the blood loss I suffered at the hands of Scissor Runner as well as the broken left arm from his blows. The injuries were nothing compared to the feeling of defeat I felt for failing to protect Derevnya and failure to protect my friends. Had not for Atlas Flames, we would all be dead by now.
I was recovering within Zheleznodorozhnyy gorod (Железнодорожный город Iron Port City in Russian), a major port city within dragonv that's 138km north of Derevnya. It was the largest port within Dragonv, traveling the iron ores across the nations with Dragonv being the largest iron producer in the Middle Ages. I was within the Gornyy massiv Oblast (Горный массив Ore Mountain range in Russian) governed by Metalicana within its general hospital.
Belserion walked in to see how I'm doing through the Dragon sized door within the hospital which the hospital treated both humans and Dragons.
"Queen, how are you doing?" Grandpa Belserion asked me.
" I'm better physically, mentally not so much. Despite my best efforts, I've lost that fight and almost lost my life. Erenjack is in the hospital because of my weakness and inability to protect anyone. Why am I so weak?" I asked him depressed by my own weakness notably distraught by my defeat.
"Don't beat yourself up, Scissor Runner was stronger than we expected as well, after all, he killed many people in a short amount of time in Derevnya. When Dragons bathe in the blood of other dragons vila a secret ritual, they then to become stronger as a result." Grandpa Belserion explained to me explaining that Scissor Runner was stronger than he was before.
"How does that work?" I inquired my dragon grandpa.
"It's a forbidden magical spell used by the Dark Dragon Tribe Mages to make themselves stronger. We should be thankful that he was inexperienced in the ritual and was originally weaker than Zirconis, and only got a small amount of power boost and also be thankful he merely killed non-combat class Dragons otherwise he could've been so strong that the Dragon Protection Squad would've had trouble against him."Grandpa Belserion explained to me explaining that Scissor Runner was stronger than Zncoris when before the conflict, he was weaker than Zirncosis.
"Damn it! I wish I could've saved the people in Derevnya, they didn't deserve to die such horrible deaths. What kind of queen I am to fail to protect her own people?" I said to him as I was on the verge of tears failing to protect the people in Derevnya.
"It's not your fault, none of us expected this threat to be stronger than it is. You actually saved much more lives. Had he succeeded with killing the 3 kings of Isvanivia, more lives would've been lost and even more lives would've been lost in the future the could've made a difference against the Dark Dragon Tribe." Grandpa Belserion responded as he comforted me with his words. I saved much more lives than I failed to protect.
"Man I need to become stronger, I'm still not ready to handle the Dragon Royal Guards training" i said to granpda wondering how i'm going to increase my strength.
"Then how about you train with us a bit"King Rey replied as he came with two other rulers
One of them was a buxom woman who despite being my mother's age looked like she was still in her mind 20's. She had wavy, short blonde hair with beautiful brown eyes She was wearing a winged helmet and a beautiful white dress. The other was a giant elderly man with a braided beard and mustache who had one eye dressed within the standard Viking King attire, the dragon-sized rooms were a perfect fit for men of his size.
"You did us a big favor for taking out that big nasty there. As a sign of our gratitude, we would have you train with us on a daily basis." the queen of Valkyries said to me praising my skills despite my failure however she gave me the best offer to improve her skills.
"My name is King Raragnork, the King of the Giants!" said the massive giant man who was the king of Giants.
"And I'm queen Hilda Yesta, queen of the Valkyries." the woman answered addressing herself as the queen of Valkyria.
'I'm being trained by the two great noble monarchs of Isvanivia?" I asked them shocked and in joy that I'm going to train against the legendary kings only for Rey to appear as well.
"Make that three kings of Isvanivia." Rey replied with his wife Katerina appearing with him.
"This is quite the joyous occasion, with you guys as my teachers, I can become strong enough to defend the world from the Dark Dragon Tribe." I replied with my spirit lifted that I can now get the strength to maintain my mother's legacy.
"It's the least we can do. You have the potential to be the strongest woman in world history and to defend the legacy of the Dragonvian Empire that protects the world from all threats. Your mother was a great woman who taught me everything Irene, we will be glad to help you surpass even your mother." Katerina said to me, being a student of my mother, she would prove to be the best teacher for me between training with them and training with Dragons.
"Belserion told us that you were struggling to keep up with the Dragon Protection force, we can help you all out in transitioning your strength." Ragnarok said to me.
"Each of us are stronger than Atlas Flames at least in terms of magical power despite not being able to harm Dragons that much but we're still very strong humans. Granted none of us can compare to the Pope of Zentopia in strength but we're closer and better to transition into fighting higher level Dragons." Rey explained to me as I was lost in thought at the idea of training under the 3 Kings. Out of the 3 Kings, Rey was the most powerful of them all being balanced in speed, power, and magical skill.
"You've trained with the Giants already in Gohra so you're the most familiar with how a giant fights, hence I'll be battling you and training you until you eventually surpass my strength. I warn you I won't be pulling punches when we spar, so when you're ready to train we'll fight to our heart's content." King Ragnarok said to me, his mighty strength was said to be on par with even an A-Class Dragon.
"The Valkyries are warriors known for their immense magical power with the strongest valkyries at least capable of handling a Mid Tier Dragon, if I train you, you can learn better spells and improve on your enchantment magic." Hilda said to me explaining her immense skills and magical powers which are said to be virtually unmatched by anyone in the north.
"With me, you can improve your swordsmanship skills by miles above your current skill, I know all f your mother's techniques can teach you better." Katerina said to me as she assured me her swordsmanship skills which are some of the best in the world thanks to being a student of my mother.
"And with my powers, it would be a nice enchantment of your stamina training so far."Rey replied referring to the fact that training under the brutal cold could help me get stronger too.
"That's great but I realize the distance between the three kingdoms is quite large. It would be hard to go to all 3 kingdoms within a day." I asked them concerned about the distance when I saw Altas Flames walk into the room.
"Then allow me to be your ride to the kingdoms my queen."Altas Flame asked me.
"But you're covered in flames? Wouldn't you roast me alive?"I asked him not exactly wanting to try riding the back of a flaming Dragon.
"I can control my flames so it doesn't burn my comrades, took me 200 years to master but I can use my Hellfire Body form near constantly and without hurting anyone I don't intend to hurt."Altas Flames explained to me as he tapped my shoulder with his flaming finger without burning me to a crisp, demonstrating the control of his element.
"Whoa, that's amazing," I said to him impressed on how controlled his powers are.
"When one reaches the rank of B Class Dragons or higher, it becomes mandatory to train constantly to control our immense powers. If we don't train constantly to maintain our powers, we would accidentally destroy small countries merely flying past it. When you fought against Scissor Runner you were briefly able to control your powers, however, to truly master your potential, you need to be able to be ready to draw out that power with great control." Altas Flames explained to me demonstrating what he was trying to teach me earlier in our sparring session.
"I look happy to resume training with you guys however I want you to also train a good friend of my own as well. Erenjack Redfox as well as my good friend Lena Marvel. I might be the one capable of beating Dragons but I also like to have people to have my back as well." I said to the kings pleading for them to take my good friends under my wing.
"You mean the son of Ironside General Kajeel? Sure thing. His old man was quite the asset in the Dragon War and he was very helpful in the Amazonian wars, hate to admit it but even as a King, my power didn't compare to Kajeels so sure, I'll train the boy. Maker Magic is my specialty after all." Rey responded being more than happy to train Erenjack as he casually forms an ice hammer.
"The legendary last princess of Nirvit? I once saved her mother's life when that Dragon destroyed the village. I wish I made it before Wendell blew himself up with the B ranked Dragon coming through. I'll make sure Lena surpasses her mother and father in magical potential." Hilda said to me assuring me that Lena would become even stronger.
"I can't wait to tell Erenjack and Lena the news." I replied as I go check up on them only to bump into my cousin Rena and Rena I want to become stronger too.
"Hey cousin, where did you come from?" I asked her.
"Hello, my dear nephew."Frederick said to me as he also appeared with Aunt Asuka.
"We came to see how you've been doing in the last year. We were expecting to see you in the hospital though."Asuka explained to me as she hugged me.
"Glad to see you guys again, so why did you come here?" I asked my aunt and uncle.
"Rena was to train to become stronger so she can fight within the Dragon War, she said she wants to train with the giants and get the strength to help you out." Asuka explained to me as she was putting her daughter her to train to fight.
"You're sure about this Rena? Giants are very powerful, they're not easy to fight." I asked her trying to inform her of the strength of the giants.
"I always wanted to become as strong as a giant since I was younger. Besides also want to help you fight against the people who killed my uncle and aunt. Mom and dad said that they ran out of things to teach me so I was hoping I can take up training with giants of the north."Rena explained to me as she was determined to become stronger.
"So Aunt Asuka and Uncle Fred, you plan to stay here for a bit?" I asked my adopted parents.
"Only for a few days, remember I run a whole kingdom too my dear niece." Uncle Frederick answered.
"I'm going to miss you dad but I need to help my cousin anyway possible."Rena replied.
"We would always be here in spirit." Aunt Asuka and Uncle Fred both replied.
"So when do we begin training?"Rena asked the kings.
"Given Irene is almost at 100 %, I say first thing tomorrow." Rey answered.
"That's great!"Me and Rena both replied.
I went to Erenjacks hospital room when I saw Kajeel there tending to his son. Erenjack came very close to dying in battle that day. The Dragon pierced straight through the abdomen, rupturing his stomach, intestines and right kidney. He narrowly missed the heart by inches. It took hours of careful precision to remove the horn lodged into Erenack's internal organs. Had not for Grandeeney's healing prowess, Erenjack would've never made it that day.
"How's Erenjack Kajeel?" I asked Erenjack's dad.
"He's fine your majesty, he had a close call. Thank god for Grandeeney healing magic otherwise he would have perished." Kajeel said to me with his usual stoic tone but with some emotion within his words.
"No need for formalities Kajeel, you're amongst the people who helped protected mother when she gave birth to me. I owe you debt for that alone." I replied back to him as I hugged him.
"I feel so powerless when the Dragon army attacked. Had I been there, I could've protected Queen Écarlatefrom her demise however due to my aging body, there's only so much I could've done to protect her anyways. Hence why I will pass down my powers to my son, so he will protect you when I'm no longer on this earth." Kajeel said to me with his somber yet stoic tone.
"He would also be trained by King Rey Fullbuster as well, so don't worry, your son is good hands." I replied.
"Being a single father isn't easy. Erenjack's mother died at childbirth, I spent my entire life trying to get him to be in my footsteps but he seems to be quite reckless. Promise me that long after I perish that you would protect my son at all cost." Kajeel said to with a notable sense of emotion in his voice.
"Your son is a true hero much like you Kajeel, once I defeat the Dark Dragon Tribe with the lp of my friends, we would usher an era of peace and prosperity, we would have a world in which magic becomes so advanced that we can prevent as many mortality deaths as possible during labor." I said to Kajeel with my wide-eyed idealism.
"You truly are an idealist much like your mother Irene, it's a good thing we have people like you on our side." Kajeel stated, if only he was aware of what I would become much later down the line.
"Mind I speak to Erenjack alone?" I asked him
"Sure thing you're majesty, just go easy on him." Kajeel replied, at the time I had no idea what he was trying to imply.
Erenjack then started to wake up from being incapacitated within a week. He was confused to see me at first.
"Irene...Am in heaven?" Erenjack asked me.
"No we're alive, my you're quite the brave one saving us out there Enerjack, had not for your recklessness I would've been killed,"I said to him thanking him for his bravery.
"I failed my queen, I got reckless and almost died...We can't beat these Dark Dragons.." Enrejack replied with tears in his eyes however I was able to soothe his sorrow as I hugged him close to my bosoms.
"Yes we can, your father Kajeel was amongst the strongest men in the world and he wasn't born with a sherd of noble blood. Your father is currently the 2nd strongest human alive aside from Anna's father, with Rey's help you can surpass even your father." I explained to him as I raised his morale up with my words.
"You mean that?" he asked me.
"Of course she means it's on, you're going to be the best royal guard for the queen ever. You will eventually surpass your father and become so good at forging weapons and using metal make, you would be eating metal for breakfast."Kajeel explained to his son using the most ironic wording of a sentence within his life.
"Very well then, I'll train to become stronger than your father so I can help my queen win the Dragon War." Erenjack replied back joyful to prove himself.
"And I will train to protect my friends and the future."I replied back.
5 years later.
June 24,X391
Siccor Runner met his fate by my hand years later. for the deaths of everyone within Contrary Village and for committing treason and attempted Assassination, he faced the ultimate sentence, death. At the town square, he was put on a stockade large and strong enough to contain a dragon while climbed a large wooden ladder. roughly 30 meters tall.
My blade glowed with far more energy than it did before. My body was more developed, more womanly, by breasts were now double D's instead of merely a D. My hair was also longer, so long that I gave the right side of my hair along braid reaching to my shoulders. My white dress covering my body was replaced by black mesh chainmail that covered only my upper boobs and leaving a impressive under-cleavage window that cross diagonally formed around the abdomen which wrapped around the white dress twice, the chainmail made of black silk capable of absorbing magic and the strongest iron in the land superior to even a full suit of armor, the armored side of the dress connected to a belt holding my dress and chainmail mesh acted as the fastener to keep it all on, combined with a white silk cape tailored to withstand the force of a Dragon and with it were ,lightweight black silk mesh chainmail gualent which covered much of my arms. I stood ready to slay him, the monster of
"Any final words before I send your unholy soul to the abyss vile demon Dragon?" I asked him.
"Just one! CHOPPTIY CHOP CHOP!" Siccorr Runner replied as he surprised everyone as he turned into his metal form and breaks out fo the stockade.
"He broke free!" Altas Flames shouted.
"Queen look out !" Ingeel shouted.
However, before anyone knew it I already resheathed my blade without having to draw out its power splitting Siccor Runner cleanly in half vertically, the cut was so clean that the blood was within the divided halves and didn't spew onto my dress.
"She really improved."Ingeel said to everyone.
"The world is safer with Scissor Runner gone to the Abysss." I said to him feeling uneasy about how easy it felt to take a life.
"You okay queen?" Belserion asked.
"I hate having to take lives, it feels too easy to kill someone. I fear I might get to used to killing." I explained to Belserion.
"It's perfectly natural for you to feel that way, Irene. We're killed a lot within the way to protect all the lives that matter to us and it puts a burden in our souls however as long as you remember who you are, you would remain strong"Ingeel explained to me.
"Thank you Ingeel!" I replied as I hugged him.
"You worry too much Irene, you're good nature would be the beacon of light of the world." Grandeeney stated as she praised me.
"Good thing she's on our side, if she became as wicked as the Dark Dragon Tribe, we can see a dark age." Metailcana jokingly replied.
How ironic, that's precisely what happened much later on.

Irene's POV
I looked at the window within my current self with my black long cape and skimpy attire to see the young innocent me. The sky was dark grey and I was within the shadows, the rain was pouring down hard within what appeared to be Camelot, the Capital of the Alvarez Empire.
"The storm is quite intense, knocked all the power out even within the Capital building." said a young dark skin man outside the corridor.
"This rain, thank fucking god, we had a hell of a nasty drought lately." said another young man holding his hands catching the rainwater.
"Seriously you guys love this rain? I hate the rain, it would ruin my hair." Said a fairly young looking man with a blonde ponytail.
"Agreed, this rain is bad for my hair."Said a bad man wearing a suit.
"Oh please Jacob, we all know you're balder than my pussy." said a young woman with short blonde hair with her armored arm.
"Must you be so crass Dimaria? I thought Varaykles of the legendary Yesta Clan would have more class than this." said a young man with white hair and glasses.
" The storm blows as the winds change, the Great Pentrdarkes commanded the rise of a new era." said a young man with orange hair.
"It's just amazing that we can communicate from such a vast distance. We're far apart but we can communicate to each other right Irene?" Dimaria asked me with me spaced out.
"Uh yeah, Erza.." I replied back.
"Irene?" the young religious man asked.
"Lacarade you should know she gets this way during the Holidays, Thanksgiving is up the corner and she's without her precious child." said an elderly old man with a cane.
"How is it that this storm is affecting all of us at once?" a young woman asked with Green hair.
"Well thank miss Scarlet Despair for that one, she's on her mood swings again." the old man replied.
"Best we don't exaggerate her, I learned the hard way what happens when you psis her off." the bald man responded frightened.
"Why are we even talking through my Communications devices again?" Dimaria asked them.
"So we can get our orders from the Emperor. Remember Walth Itchi? Since we're across 13 Commonwealths of Alvarez, you created this long-range communications device so we can talk but I'm so not in the mood." I replied to Wal Itchi as the storm intensifies
A Lightning strike revealed my reflection of the woman I would later become. My youthful naive eyes were replaced with cold, lifeless eyes, the cheerful disposition has been replaced with a twisted cynical smirk, my white robes of justice replaced with a far more fitting black robe of despair. The Angelic aura that glew around me was replaced with the stench of a rancid aura that reflected the amount of blood spewed by my hand.
Present Day
1st Person POV
I was a completely different woman from what I am today. Fill with hope, filled with idealism. It was what I lost long ago when everything turned to shit. It's actually more accurate to say that my pure-hearted nature didn't die but was removed from my body and exist as its own entity, that entity being my daughter.
Death is quite the show, even though minutes passed since I took my own life, it felt like an entity has passed within this realm. There's no fast-forward button to the end of this memory lane either but then again I much rather watch the good parts of my far distant past then my recent past.
The upcoming years would be a constant day of training and exercise to prepare us for the upcoming Dragon War. For the next 3 years, we did nothing but train every day of the week. We had to, the overwhelming strength of the Dragons was beyond anything humans fought. However, that wasn't the only threat that threatened the stability of the world. At the same time of our training of this conflict, a threat unseen by many was brewing at the same time.
At the time we had no idea the name of this threat was.

3rd Person POV
Mildian, United Gaerican Empire
June 6,x386
Thousands of miles away from Dragonv, the beginning of a dark era was occurring. On this very day, the world would change forever and the events of this day would create a butterfly effect that would go down in the Annals of history as the turning point of human history. A young man is writing his papers. He was a young man in his mid-teens writing within a candlelit room. He had short black hair, dark eyes and is wearing a toga common within the kingdom and era of elite intellectuals.
"Soon it would be done, the blueprints of the Eclipse Gate and the R System are nearly complete. With the magical training I've acquired and with teaching these classes for years, I can finally bring you back Natsu. Mother and father would be next and we would have a happy family again." the young man said as he wrote his notes.
Suddenly two armed guards wearing turbans come into the room with an elderly old man with a long beard and hat with a came come into the room.
"We told you that we're not backing the Eclipse project." the old man said to the younger man.
"Why not, don't you see the good it would do? Besides aren't you the same people who need me to finally take down the Zentopia Church with your research?" the young man answered trying to plead to the elderly mage.
"You've produced a lot for our cause Zeref, you're a man ahead of their times in terms of intellect however you're a genius is also going against God's ways. Wanting us to become like that heathen country Dragonv? Claiming the Earth isn't flat or the Sun and Moon doesn't revolve around the earth? Those are violations of our scared religious values. We merely allow your pagan beliefs to slide because you're a very talented man, however, reviving the dead is going too far, we can't let you do that Zeref Dragneel." the elderly old man said to him.
"Professor Joseph, You religion could be great if you reformed your system better, as for bringing back the dead, how many people could it benefit your organization if you had people who died needlessly or suffering. Think of the good it would do for the world. A world without suffering or despair, a world where families can be united and we can even stop wars." Zeref said idealistically as he tried to plead to his professor about letting him continue his research.
"Reviving the dead is dangerous and it's an offense against God. Sinners who offend God are cursed by him, we've been told by the higher up's that God has already cursed you, you are being expelled from this University. We all had high hopes for you but it seems like you decided to dash them on your own." Professor Joseph explained to Zeref.
"But you don't understand I'm so close to bringing him back.."Zeref said pleading to the professor.
"You don't understand, normally we execute people for witchcraft for what you're attempting to do but since you are a cherished student of mine, I'm letting you live and resign in exile from the University and from any of our holy lands." professor Joseph said to Zeref giving him a fair warning to never return.
"So this is the thanks I get for helping you construct magical spells for you to use in your defense of your holy lands? I helped you guys with everything and you turn around and kick me out? All because of a god that doesn't exist." Zeref explained to his professor within his rage-filled
"How dare you claim god is not real? Lord Akserhman is the all mighty creator of everything, blasphemy in our culture is punishable by death. You dare insult him when he gave us the knowledge of mathematics and to build this great civilization." Professor Joseph explained to Zeref notably furious of Zeref's defiant words.
"A civilization built by people who stole everything from a previous civilization, your cult isn't much better than the Zenotpian Cult, all you guys do is fighting over the One Magic and enslave and force people into your religious cults anyways and kill anyone who refuses to join your cults. You lecture me on morals yet your cult is nothing more but one built out of greed, hypocrisy ignorance, and slavery. Culturally you're not even on par with the Zentopian ideology which at least preaches love, all your cult preaches is hatred and war. If I'm expelled, I'll simply go to Zentopian lands to form my own University to bring back my family."Zeref said to the professor notably angry.
"Such insolence! It would be a shame that we let a great mind as yours go but you would never get your brother back. Guards kill him." the professor commanded as his men were ready.
"No wait, you don't understand what good this can do for…." Zeref pleaded as the guards take out their scimitars ready to kill Zeref.
However, Zeref's body is surrounded by a menacing black aura around him.
"NO...It's the curse of Ankhseram...He's cursed him...Quick, kill him before the curse spreads."Professor Joseph shouted as the curse magic leaks around him.
"No what's happening to me? ARRGH!" Zeref shouted as he then unleashes an explosive wave of black energy subconsciously.
The school is covered in a black wave that engulfs the entire University. Within a minute everyone is dead from the wave and bodies piled around Zeref.
"No...Professor Khan...Professor Joseph...Everyone... WHAT HAPPENED?!" Zeref shouted horrified as the bodies around him were all dead.
Zeref runs out of the school with plants, birds, animals and even people around him dying. The trail of death follows him everywhere he goes.
3 hours later
Irene arrived with Belserion at the crime scene when they look around with various Mildain city guards looking at the massacre.
"What could've caused this? How did this happen?"Irene shouted in rage as she punched the floor in anger.
"I don't know. It seems like there were all killed by a heart attack." Belserion answered.
"You don't think this was the Dark Dragon Tribe do you?" Irene asked him.
"No, if it was, there would've been sightings of the dragon and this magic is unheard of even amongst Dragons, this was done by a human."Belserion said to the Queen of Dragons shocking her.
"A human this strong? How? Why would he kill innocent people especially his own people?" Irene asked looking around the piles of corpses being carried away within horse carriages
"We don't know but we should track him down." Besleerion stated looking upset as he was ready to hunt down the dark mage that killed off the school. Irene hops on his back to ride on him.
June 6,x386 would go down as the Midian City university Massacre. All 345 students including 20 professors were killed with an additional 200 people dying across the city. The cause of death was unknown, it appeared as everyone died of a heart attack. For the next 3 years, random cases of murders and disappearances will occur all across Ishgal, these random killings would eventually lead to force almost as mighty as the Dark Dragon Tribe, the Demon Tribe with the main leader.

Irene's POV
"It's time we begin the stages of Operation Global Histore" Zeref said to the Spriggan 12 through the device smiling.
The dreaded black wizard known as Zeref. For much of my young adult life, I hunted him down and searched for him, hoping to avenge the countless lives he took. I never would've imagined a day where I would be his second in command.
Present Day
To think that at one point that I would ever be aligned with Zeref. Worse I've spilled far more blood than Siccor Runner ever could. Funny how life comes at you so fast, one minute you're facing a psychotic sociopathic killer in a battle to the death, the next you kill another one that you see in the mirror... Yourself.
To be continued
(A/N: And that's how Zeref became the man known as the bringer of Apocalypse. Hope you enjoyed another preview of the big bad of Fairy Tail. Yep, I wrote him to be a bit more apprehensive about being fired from his university than canon Yep Tartaros is slowly approaching the world as the threat to the stability of the world.
For those wondering about Tartaros, they're going to be much stronger and more imposing than canon. In Canon each of them were defeated by Frist Time Skip characters I fight who are established to below even the weakest class of Dragons, in my story , they're buffed to be at least a threat to B Class Dragons with it's strongest members challenging A Ranked Dragons, especially given their Curse powers aren't magic and one of the few things aside from Dragon Slayer Magic that can kill a Dragon. Needless to say, they're going to be a problem.
Speaking of Tartaros, yep time to talk about Rey Fullbuster who is the obvious distant ancestor of Silver and Gray. He's a very powerful Viking King who ended up getting lost within time, I guess you would come to the conclusion why. As for his wife Katerina Fullbuster training Irene, she's an Expy of Lagheteraa from the Vikings TV series, a strong badass Viking queen who takes no prisoners and was trained by Irene's mother, she would be a minor but very influential figure in Irene's life.
As for Hilda Yesta, yep you guessed it, the ancestor of Dimaria Yesta, she and her daughter would play significant roles later in the storyline in their own right ablet it a minor character overall. The same goes for Rena Corona, who you know I'm basing her on once you see her fight within the next chapter which she would be involved within the fighting.
Also, the Isvanivian Peninsula is heavily based on the Scandinavian Peninsula within Northern Europe in real life. Considering Isghar is culturally and geographically like Europe, the country of Isvan, is based on Sweden, the country of Vakrykla is based on Norway and the country Olaf is based on Finland.
Yep expect Rena, Ernejack, and Lena to have their development as they develop alongside Irene. Also, I hope you like the contrasts around the end showing how Irene went from an angel to devil and like the sneak peak of the Sparrigan 12 based on the opening of Fairy Tail Season 3. Anyways here's the power level chart for the chapter.
Kajeel: 30,666 MPF
Frederick Corona:20,000 MPF
Asuka Corona: 18,000 MPF
King Ranragork:25,000 MPF
Queen Hilda Yesta: 22,000 MPF
