Fairy Tail Minus One Chapter 17: Hellfire

(Once again special thanks to my Beta Reader Geralt D. Wolfwood here's for another new chapter of Fairy Tail Minus One!)


One Week Later

November 6 X389

A week passed since the Baal incident, I spent the last week in Fiore preparing for the fight of the century, the battle between me and Altas Flames. Baal was an immensely powerful demon, despite not being fully revived, he pushed all of us to our very limit. To think Demons and Humans lure the same lands scares me however there are good demons who like dragons want to protect humans, I can't wait to meet them.

We spent the last week training in preparation for the upcoming fight, a once in a generation fight between ourselves and the Three Kings of Isvaniana, three battle-hardened Viking rulers who were said to be some of the most fierce warriors of our time. Thankfully Anna's property was easily 12,500 farm acres wide or bigger than Mongolia itself, to think his father who came from humble beginnings within Mongolia Town would own the largest real estate of the medieval era and a distinctively unique estate as well as it was more like a Planation style mansion than a castle so the estate was ahead of it's time by at least 200 years.

Me and Erenjack clashed swords with each other, he was claded within flame Emperor Armor. His Flame Emperor Armor was a Metallic reddish organ full body armor that covers his body powered by a Fire Lachrima Orb in the back. The bulky, hulking Armor stood at around 8 feet tall. It's not very fast like all power armors but make up for it with immense durability.

I was using a Water Sword he constructed with his newly developed Water Emperor Armor which would be a Medieval precsssdcor to the Scuba Diving suits we use in modern-day if that had the appearance of an armored Templar Kinght. The Crystalline Sword he deemed the "Sword of Neptune" I was blocking against the intense flames of his flame sword, the flames were more intense than a wildfire that got absorbed by a Tornado. Even merely a foot away from me, the sword's heat was intense enough to make my skin burn slightly, this was the perfect training for Altas Flames whose flames burned at 5 times the heat of the most natural flames in the world.

"You're still too slow Erenacjk, You also lack form!" I said to him as I blocked his predictable sword slash however the water was boiling and the attacks cause an explosion of steam covering the both of us.

In the smoke, I saw my cousin's hair tendrils coming towards me and Erenjack which forces me to dodge the attack while Erenjack barely avoided the attack. Rena was coming at me with her hair whips which used friction and heat to generate intense heat from her hair which can melt stone and lead. I dodged her attacks, narrowing avoiding her burning locks, thankfully it was fairly easy to defeat her hair magic with sword magic, however, before Ii can cut her hair, I was grabbed by a massive it of Sand sinking me. Not just me, Erenjack and Rena were being sunked down too.

"Ant Lion Pit!" Lena chanted as she sinks the three of us, however, we were able to combine our attacks with Erenjack and I stabbing our swords together into the ground to create a steam explosion with Rena creating a giant fist with her hair to punch out of it.

Erenjack goes to deal with Rena as she clashes with his flame sword with her Crimson hair ax using the flames to clash with him, she was trying to train her hair to be more durable to blades given that her greatest weakness was blades and swords, hence she trained with Erenjack improve on that while Erenjack's weakness was speed and precision, he had a lot of power and defense but was too slow of a fighter and his swordsmanship was sloppy, predictable and imprecise.

Me and Lena fought against each other in a brief sparring match as I clashed my water sword with her. Lena's main weakness was her lack of offensive capabilities, especially at a close range and her elements weakness to Water whereas I lacked defensive skills outside of a few enchantments and struggled on Range attacks.

Veronica and Anna were watching on the sidelines. Veronica still had bandages from the battle as well as Anna. Veronica her most of her body covered which wasn't an issue given her Nun outfit while Anna had a few on her head and arms.

"Looks like they got stronger so fast!"Anna said to Veronica.

"It's amazing how strong the Queen and her elites are, they're stronger than most of our army in Fiore," Veronica replied as we trained with each other.

After training from high noon to evening, we went inside to have a feast within the Heartfilla Estate.

"Shame we couldn't contact Linda Lockser here so I can learn water spells from her," I said to Erenjack.

"It would take too long anyway, the Sword of Neptune should do the trick for you"Enejreack replied, the truth is that it would've taken months, if not years to have mastered water techniques on the level of Linda at this rate and I didn't have even a month to learn this.

"Yeah trying to fight Altas Flames with Enchantments isn't nearly enough, his Hellfire can easily neutralize and burn through most magic. Trying to beat him would be far from an easy task." I said to Erenjack, the fact is that not even the strongest of humans could even touch Atlas Flames.

"No kidding, we have quite the task in hand tommorrow" Erenjack stated.

" I can't thank you enough for giving me this sword!" I replied as I held the sword.

"It's temporary, I need it for part of my Sea Emperor Armor. I was able to use the special Water Crystals from Memardia to create an endless stream of water to flow from the Cyrstal, all you need is your magic output and even someone like ourselves who can't use Water Magic can use some basic water spells with this sword." Eenjack explained to me as he revealed how he constructed his Neptune Sword.

"Thanks, Erenjack, i'm glad to have a friend like you," I replied as I hugged him.

"Uh..your welcome!" Erenjack responded as he blushed with his face so red.

After talking we had a large family dinner within a dining room roughly the size of an average cottage. Lena, Erenjack, Rena joined us after being flown here where we had a hearty meal. Victor and his wife Jade were also present as well.

"We can't thank you guys enough for the saving our daughter Queen of Dragons." Jade said to me.

"It's nothing, you should thank Veorcina if it wasn't for her Holy Spells, Anna and all of us wouldn't be standing here." I replied as Verocina blushed.

"You helped me out too Irene, after all, you're the strongest person we have outside of Sir Heartfilla himself."Veronica said to me as she was right in a way, despite my young age., I was already on the level of a Grand General within any army back within the Mideviail era.

"I guess, still the fact that the demon was so powerful to take over Anna of all people."I stated not aware of how my words upsetting Anna.

"I was careless, I blame my lack of discipline for such a humiliating failure!" Anna said to everyone as she looked in a depressed mood.

"Sweetie, don't blame yourself, you were up against a Royal Class Demon, it's happened to the best Exorcist Mages in the land throughout history." Victor said to his daughter trying to cheer his daughter up.

"It just doesn't make sense though, all I was taught by the chruch is that Demons attack those who fall into the temptation to sin, I've never sinned in my entire life. I avoid everything that would go against God, why did that demon target me?" Anna explained her plight and melancholy feeling as if she somehow let down a god.

"Listen, Anna, as much as it pains us to admit this but even the smallest of white lies count as sins, even someone like myself was forced to tell a few white lies to protect people we care for. If anything, I've done things I wasn't proud of myself back when I was your age. You are far more pious and in tune with Zentopia than anyone I know, someone who has made record arrests under the Virtue Vice Kinght Division and now Leader of the Exorcist Divison of Zentopia. One day, you could be even Pope of Zentopia yourself and be the first right-hand woman of God himself." Victor explained to his daughter as he was determined to make her recover from her depressed slump.

"As that would ever happen, father, I know you mean well but the Nobles are already judging us harshly simply because we broke centuries of taboos allowing women to serve in higher ranks in Zentopia. Just merely trying to get me where i'm at, it caused a Civil War in the country we're still not fully recovered from. I would love to be the Pope of Zentopia one day but let's be honest, it would destroy Fiore." Anna explained to her father looking down at herself.

"Nonsense" I shouted at Anna.

"Uh Irene, you're sure you want to ..." Lena asked me trying to calm me down but ignored her.

"You would be a great Pope Anna, don't let those doubt your priority to the church. You're the most religious and holy woman I know, you should be Pope one day, who cares about what sex the person was born as, we should care about who truly follows the edtics of your culture, as long as you be yourself and follow your dreams, you can do anything." I explained to Anna with my moral boosting speech, I genuinely wanted my "sister" to succeed.

Everyone looked at me shocked at how committed I was to protect my best friend no matter what.

"You mean that Irene?"Anna asked me with a tear in her eyes, I replied by hugging her.

"I mean that Anna, your father, and mother did everything to help you get where you're at, I will help you when they are gone. After all, we might be born of different countries, different fates, and different backgrounds but we're at the end like sisters." I explained to Anna as I held onto her hugging.

"Thank you, Irene!" Anna said to me as she hugged me back.

"Seems like you have good firends from a distant kingdom Anna."Jade said to Anna.

"Indeed I do."Anna replied.

After dinner, we go up the stairs. The mansion was so large it had hundreds of rooms with several dozen of them reserved for at least 100 guests. We all went to different rooms but Anna brought me to her room. The room was extremely girly, pink curtains, pink bedsheets, and pink pillows. I saw her shelve filled with books along with a large queen-sized bed to fit the two of us together.

"Irene!" Anna said to me.

"Yes, Anna?" I replied to her only for her to hug me.

"Thank you! Thank you for everything!" Anna said to me.

"Your welcome, since my parents died, you and your family were there to help me through, even though you were gone on your adventure, I never felt like we truly left apart." I replied to her as we were closer to each other than anyone else.

"I felt so powerless when I allowed myself to be controlled so easily by that demon. You made feel like I could've handled the demon no problem." Anna said to me as she was feeling confident in herself again.

"Don't mention it!" I responded.

"Irene, do your best out there tomorrow." Anna said to me.

"Thanks, anyways going to my guest room... " I said to Anna only for Anna grabbed my hand and stopped me from going.

"Can you please stay over in my room for the night?"Anna asked me.

"Don't need to ask, I don't mind resting in the same bed as my sister." I replied as me and she goes to the bed where we both had our rest. Back in those simpler times, it was just two sisterly friends resting in the same bed as each other, if only any of us knew what fate had planned for us.


The Next day

We traveled to Crocus together in a carriage this time with an entourage of family members with Erenjack, Rena, Lena, Jade and Victor there in the main carriage to Corucs which was only about 1 and a half-hour ride to Corcus with the horse carriages. In Fiore, things were almost back to where they were when I was very young and where mother and father took me to the Rosemary Strawberry Festival many years back, we were in Atunaumn were leaves were red, yellow and brown as they fell from the trees.

Crocus was built as the Capital and City State of the Crocus Kingdom by a weahtly family who formed the Monarchy known as the Conservus Noble Family by Jude Corcus a small noble town, the town expanded into a 100 Square Kilometer kingdom built around the Castle Merciclius. X2,082BZ, the rival City-States of Albania to the east and Reilgius to the North Merged into Crocus and became 2 major Boroughs within the 3 Borough city.

Crocus resided in a vast valley surrounded by rocky mountains of small-to-mid height, housing mostly mildly prominent hills, and has a small river not far from it, with some isles in its largest part, flowing in a similarly small gorge, which has woodland on both of its sides, occupying the western zone of the valley. Dividing the city from the Western districts and at the eastern districts are two large rivers intersecting to each other, The west Crocus River and the East Crocus River which all connect to the main Crocus River.

The entire city of Corcus is on a slopping Pleatu that slopes at a 30 degree angle where 3 rivers meet, the much smaller East and West Crocus Rivers which at the end of the massive city's Southeastern side has a Waterfall 981 meters high and 250 meters wide which goes down a stream which connects to the main Crocus River that goes from the western coast of Fiore to a large River bank around Dosu Flamu, the 1,000 meter high,21,000 meter diameter Plateau is what supports the entire structure of the city.

At the center of the city lies Castle Island, an Artificial Island created with an artificial lake created with the two rivers. The 14.36 Square Kilometer Island is separated by 179 meter wide river moats and only accessible by a bridge within the North and a bridge within the castle is a ringed wall covering the Diameter of the Island with 179 meter high walls about 83 meters wide and covering the whole perimeter of the Island, Around Mercuilus, is a park known as Mercilius Royal Garden, a 205 Arce Garden surrounding the castle where the most exotic and beautiful flowers are kept.

The city looked beautiful as always. As we passed Mercilus we eventually reached Domsu Flamu were a sizable audience has appeared to watch the battle. Going up the massive bridge at the eastern end of town, it took nearly a half an hour to cross due to the sheer volume of carriages passing through the place, the Dous Flamu bridge was a massive bridge to the stadium built by the Crocusans that was one of the largest bridges ever built. Domus Flau.

Despite not being used for over 1,000 years, the Coliseum still looked like it was in good shape and good use. The Battle Ring area was massive, it was easily 44 Acres wide, enough to fit a small town within the middle of the stadium, the stadium itself was nearly a Kilometer in diameter. The row height slop was easily large enough to accommodate space for dragons to sit in seats. The wall separating the rows from the battle ring was easily as tall as a 10 story building. Amongst the 4 corners of the stadium were Statues of Ancient Corcusan Gods. To the West was King Neptune of the Sea, to the East was Diana, Goddess of the Moon, to the North was Pluto, God of Death and the Afterlife and then to the south was Jupiter, God of Thunder and the King of Gods.

The stadium rivaled the Dragon Priymaids in Egitto as the largest structure ever built within the world. The stadium was built out of countless Marble stones each brick being 4 meters thick with magical enchantments to the structure to withstand the force of Dragons and to withstand weathering and corrosion as well as erosion. The entire structure would be eqauilvent to trying to carrying a whole mountain on you, Crocus likely hollowed out a whole mountain of at least 1,000 meters of elevation just to build Dous Flamu after all the stadium is perched 2 kilometers above sea level and away from the main city.

The stadium could at it's prime contain up to 330,000 people and 10,000 dragons at once, the maintained cost of this stadium alone would cost about $500 Billion Jewels with the cost to build this stadium at 3.5 Trillion Jewels alone. The arena was originally designed during the Crocus Empire as a Gailditor COmbat arena pitting humans against Demons and demons against dragons. Humans served as the lowest class outside of the Royal Corcus family and lower class humans who were slaves were forced to fight monsters in the arena and each other, Dragons and Demons who were of a lower class Those were the dark ages before Dragonv.

The battles were a series of test battles to help boost morale for the upcoming wars with the Dark Dragon Tribe. Only a few thousand people were around as this was merely a y test for the concept of the Grand Magic Games Torumeant we're planning soon. I parted ways from Anna and her family like me, Lena, Rena, and Erenjack were going to prepare within the quarters of the stadium before we fought.

"So ready to do this?" Erejack asked me.

"Yes, we can't let our training be for nothing!" I replied to them as I was ready to do this, in reality, I was nervous.

As I walk through the tunnel towards the colosseum, my mind full of doubt and worry, wondering if the training from the last year was all in vain, but the thought of my friends keep me from wallowing in despair as I make my to the colosseum to face my greatest challenge yet, Altas Flames. In Lena, Erenjack and Rena corner stood the Thre Viking Kings, Rey Fullbuster, King Rangkronk, and Queen Yesta. It was time for our training to begin and to pay off.

"Looks like you guys showed up!"Rey said to us as he stood there stoically waiting for battle.

"Yep we did, now time for the student to surpass the master!" Erenjack replied with confidence ready to fight against his master Rey.

"Hopefully you've been training well Lena!" Yesta smiled at her with Lena ready to fight.

"I won't lose to you!" Lena replied, despite her passive tone, she was serious about not losing.

"Now let's see what you learned to battle me Princess of Zen!" Ragnarok shouted as he was ready to battle with his giant sword and shield.

"I will show you that I belong amongst the Giants!" Rena replied as she was ready to battle the Viking King King.

The tiro of my cloest firends charged to battle against the Monarchs of Ivsanina, meanwhile, I stood down to Altas Flames who was much more intense than I imagined.

"You can do it, Irene!" Anna shouted as she was encouraging me to win.

"May the Lord give you strength!" Victor said to me, it's something when the Pope of Zentopia has given you their blessing.

Altas Flames was a completely different opponent from anything I fought at this point. No human could stand a chance against him, while some dragons have scars on their bodies, specific weak points such as the softer underbelly with weaker scales, eyeballs, and internal organs, Alrtas Flames was nothing but a burning inferno. His' flame body had the unique property of being able to dispel any Magic attack, even dispelling most Dragon Magic attacks, only a Water Dragon King or a Fire Dragon King like Ingeel had any way of bypassing his flame defense and up until Ingeel appeared, he was said to be undefeated.

"Ready to battle my queen!" Altas Flames said to me as I stood there with his heat bearing down on me.

"Ready!"I replied I was ready to battle him.

"Psalm 121:7 7The LORD will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; Holy Halo!" Victor chanted as he created a massive barrier that covered the entire Battle Area, such an impressively large scale protection barrier forming a hallo at the top, no less from the Pope of Zentopia.

"Now then let's begin!" I said to Altas as Ii drew out my water sword and was ready to begin the battle. if I can't beat Altas Flames, I can never be Dragon Queen.

With Erenjacks Watersword, I cast Arms on myself while charging at him towards Alta's flames however before my fist makes contact atlas smirks before raising his flames causing me to back off.

"You think I would let you hit me with that weapon? You would need to use more than some sword you borrow to beat me!" Altas Flames said to me as he was essentially showing me how this fight would be far from easy.

"Man his flames are way hotter than i was expecting, I can't let myself get hit by those!" I said to myself as i staggered back only to see a fireball head towards me, i didn't even see him shoot a blast at me. I used my Sword of Neptune to cut the fireball in half only to see Altas Flames materialize himself from the spilt fireball, that fireball wasn't a fireball, it was Altas Flames himself charing at me and he now appeared with his paw falling towards me.

"Take this! Hellfire Dragon Talon!" Altas Flames chanted ass he leaped at mt with a devastating stomp which creates a massive fiery explosion. the explosion shook the entire stadium as everything was engulfed in flames within the battle ring, thankfully the barrier held for now.

I narrowly evaded his attack using Verinr to escape, even my water sword had little effect on him.

"He's fast, this can be a serious problem!" I said to myself as I stood focused on him.

"Take this! Hellfire Barrage!" Altas Flames chanted as he goes to shoot multiple fireballs from his mouth which I was forced to evade however dodging unscathed was next to impossible as the heat was so intense that it was grazing me with light burns after every narrow dodge.

"I have to find a weakness in him, but i'm not seeing a major weakness here!" I said to myself.

"You can't just dodge my attacks forever Irene, eventually Hellfire would cover this entire arena and you would pass out from smoke inhalation."Altas Flames said to me as he readied his next move.

"Now try dodging this! Hellfire Dragon Roar!" Altas Flames chanted as he shot a massive dragon roar of hellfire towards me.

"Water Flash!" I countered as I shot a massive blast of water which was powerful enough to cancel the Dragon Roar which creates a massive cloud steam blocking the view of everyone.

Using this opportunity, I used the opportunity of the smoke to try to sneak attack Altas FLames by aiming my slash towards his aw using the water sword blunt edge to knock him down hitting his exposed Jaw. which was able to do successfully causing him to flinch.

"Urrgh!" Altas Flames grunted as he felt slight pain from that.

"Gotcha now!" I said to him as I went to follow up with another attack aimed at him however before I can slash him, I fazed through him, which was bad as I was caught on Fire"ARRGH, DAMN IT!" I shouted as I rolled on the floor covered in flames, however despite the stinging pain, Altas Flames purposely merely made it only lightly burn me, if he wanted to, he could've effortlessly barbecued me.

"Don't get cocky Queen of Dragons, just because you got a lucky hit on me, doesn't mean it's enough." Altas Flames said to me as he glanced over me.

I then heard whistles within the crowd, whistles quickly suppressed by Victor's glare. I then came to the horror that the flames while didn't do any serious injury, it burned away the top half of my dress exposing my breast to everyone

"Damn it, did you have to burn my dress? I shouted at Altas Flames.

"You try controlling flames that can melt iron into ash, besides you're the fool who tried to strike me with a close-range attack, don't make such reckless charges." Altas Flames replied.

"You're right, I can't beat you in a direct fight, I have to find a way around you though." I replied to him as I was too concerned about the battle to care I was topless.

"Hellfire Rain!" Altas Flames chanted as he shoots one giant fireball into the air which disperses into hundreds of fireballs raining down on the battlefield.

Erenjack was dodging 5 fireballs coming towards him.

"Whoa!" Such heat!" Erenjack shouted as he evaded the flames.

"Sand Wall!" Lena chanted as she used her sand wall to withstand the pelting of 5 fireballs hitting her.

Rena dodges the blast and uses her hair to pull her to the other side of the arena narrowly avoiding the deadly fireballs as they hit were she was at.

"You firends and yourself have improved your combat abilities, but would it be enough to overcome us?" Altas Flames said to me.

Man, this sucked, I didn't have many range attacks and the once I did have were entirely useless as he could just dispell the magic with his flames, the only effective things, I got was the Water Sword I got from Erenjack but part of my pride hated relying on another person weapon to battle someone. Still, I need to deal with it for now.

Meanwhile, things were heating up with Erenjack and Rey as they clashed with a battle of flames and ice. Erenjack was using his Flame Emperor Armor against Rey who was using his legendary Ice-Make against the Metal Make+requip mage.

"Fire flash!" Erenjack chanted as he shoots a massive amount of flames with his sword towards his mentor.

"Ice-Make Deep Freeze!" Rey countered as he frize everything around him inculding the flames, which was normally thought to be impossible.

'Impossible, he froze flames!" Erenjack said shocked to see his flames frozen.

"My ice was blessed by the Frost Titan Yimiri itself, this is why i'm the strongest of the Viking Kings themselves. How else you think I gained the title, legendary Ice Viking King?" Rey said to his student as he forms an Ice Ane to clash with Erenjack's fire sword.

"You're right, I should've expected that from you, Metal Make: Hammer Storm" Erenjack chanted as he summons multiple hammers from the dimensional space he created from his Metal Make.

"Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur!" Rey countered as he summoned massive sword made of Ice and swung it at the direction of the hammers freezing them in mid-air and cutting them all in half. he was so powerful, he can freeze the air itself.

"Metal Make: Ball and Chain" Erenjack chanted as he formed a massive ball and chain with Metal make and swung it his mentor however the Viking king effortlessly blocks the attack with a giant Ice Wall " Metal Make: Hammer Time" Erenjack chanted as he used Daul Hammers to push back Rey which he barely blocked with an Ice shield on his left elbow.

"Metal Make: Iron Ore Forest!" Erenjack chanted as he generates liquid metal around his master, that then formed then form metal tree branch tendrils to bind his legs, arms, and neck entrapping the Viking King.

"So you learned your old man's magic? Hmmm, you have been training your ass off, however, it's still not enough!" Rey said to Enrejack as he broke out of the binding spell.

"Even that's not enough!" Erenajck said shocked.

"Pretty much, you need to try harder than that!" Rey smirked as he goes for his next attack."Holy Ice Wave!" Rey countered as he swiped his right hand producing an ice wave which knocks back Erenjack.

"Damn, I didn't think I need this so soon!" Erenjack said as his arm was frozen by the attack.

"What so soon?"Rey asked his student.

"This! Lightning Emperor Armor!" Erenjack chanted as he summons his latest new armor to his master. An Armor that is covered in a white rubbery substance over the massive steel armor with a Lightning Kanji on the middle resembling a battle armor from Thor of Norse Mythology.

"A lightning armor designed as our armor? Cleary you thought this match through!" Rey said to Erenjack.

"This Lightning Emperor Armor would be the perfect counter to your Ice-Make, as ice is made of water and water conducts Lightning."Erenjack explained to his master.

"Not bad but let's see if that's enough to win this battle!" Rey replied as he was ready to battle.

Meanwhile, Lena was clashing with Queen Hilda Yesta with the Sand magic on her usual defensive.

"Charging Bolt " Hilda chanted as she shoots a massive bolt of lighting combing with her water blast but Lena was able to tank the blasts with her sand shield.

"You're going to have to do better than that against my sand magic!" Lena said to her master.

"Interesting, you've improved your defenses that much"! Hilda said to Lena as she was ready to see what her student can do.

"Sand Wave!" Lena chanted as she sends a massive wave of sand towards Hilda but she counters with a wind gust stopping the attack in its tracks.

"Maiden's Wind !"Hilda chanted as she shot a massive gust of wind from her mouth.

"Sand Slash" Lena countered as she generates a slashing wave canceling out the attack."Sand Tornado." Lena responded as she then does a follow up attack creating a massive tornado around Hilda.

"Water Vortex!" Hilda countered as she creates a massive water whirlpool from the Sand Tonadro canceling it out however the soil was wet and she starts to sink in.

"Ant Lion Pit" Lena chanted as she goes to sink Hilda but she flies over and she uses another spell while in mid-air.

"Blazing Gale!" Hilda chanted as he mixed Fire with Wind creating a massive storm of flames towards Lena however Lena manages to evade the attack.

"Nice, as expected master, however, allow me to show you what I trained to do !" Lena replied as she was ready to unleash her hidden power.

Meanwhile, Rena was fighting against King Rangrok of Olaf with her hair clashing against the oaf's massive sword. The Giant Race could not use magical attacks but could generate immensely shockwaves, earthquakes generated by them pounding their weapons very hard into the ground, air pressure waves from clapping the air and slashing waves from their axes.

"Crimson Hair Whip!" Rena chanted as she swings around her hair whip going for the King's massive golden ax however the king blocks the attack with his massive diamond-encrusted shield

"Giants Slash!" Rangork chanted as he goes to slash his ax, creating an air pressure wave firing at her like a blast using pure air pressure from his blade to create a pressure wave that cuts anything touching it.

"Crimson Hair: Hairball" Rena chanted as she forms a spherical dome with her hair, Despite her hair being weak against cutting attacks, she was able to withstand the attack, her training with Jorn, the king's son paid off as she made her hair as strong as Iron.

"Impressive, you overcame one of you're main weaknesses, looks like Jorn was of great help training you." Rangorknk said to my cousin.

"Yes it did ! I will beat you the same way I surpassed him. Crimson Hair Strike!" Rena chanted as she slaps the Viking Giant King with her hair tendrils knocking him back however the Giant withstood the hair.

Back with my fight, I clashed against Altas Flames but I was mostly on the defensive as I was blocking his punches and kicks, the Water sword was prefect from dispelling the harmful flames from me however it was becoming clear that defensive was not nearly enough. I leaped into the air and came at him with a jumping slash however he hit me with his flaming tail and knocked me towards the edge of the arena with my back hitting the barrier.

"ARRGH!" I grunted in pain as I struggled to get back up, the water sword thankfully absorbed the flames and the worst I felt was the blunt force.

"Hellfire Dragon Iron Fist!" Altas Flames chanted as he dashed at me with his flaming fist however i narrowly evaded him creating another intense explosion of flames.

"Water Slash!" I chanted as I shot a blast of water towards Altas Flames however Altas Flames puts out his arm and the flames dispel the magic burning it away only to see I was coming at him from behind with a slash aimed at his forehead with water covering my body this time to reduce damage to me however I faze right through him again. however, I saw the opportunity to attack the second I pass through him.

"HellFire Dragon Sword Horn!" Altas Flames chanted as he headbutted me, piledriving me into the ground, I hit the ground so hard that half my body was buried in the sand within a crater.

I was able to get back up, my head was bleeding from the attack, thankfully nothing too serious, just small gash, i'm lucky I wasn't burned by the started to realize that there was smoke everywhere and the visibility of the ring was decreasing, as if the flames themselves weren't a problem or the deadly smoke inhalation, it was the lack of visibility that not only was a problem for me but a problem for my comrades too against their opponents.

Meanwhile, Rey and Erenjack continue their battle clashing against each other. Rey and Erenjackcontinue their clashes with Enbrejack canceling out his attacks with Lightning blasts. Erenjack eventually was able to put his master on the defensive.

"Not bad, it's been a while since I had a real fight!" Rey said to Erenjack who was panting while the Viking King looked like he's yet to truly begun to fight.

"I told you already, i'm going to surpass you!" Erenjack replied as he was willing to press forward.

"Now then, time to go all out! Ice-Make: Armor of Yimiri!" Rey chanted as he summons massive energy around him forming armor around him.

Around his body formed a massive Ice Helmet on his face with ice Horns jutting out of his helmet with upper body covered with a armored chest plate made of ice resembling Zentopian Kinght Armor plates with shoulder pads on his body made f ice, he grows a nice white cape made of snow with the lower body containing trousers resembling that of Polar Bear fur made of ice with gauntlets made of Ice.

"An armor made of ice?" Erenjack asked.

"It's called my Ice-Make: Armor of Yimiri! Passed down by all Viking Kings by the decree of Odin's chosen Viking King for centuries, the Fullbuster family have wielded this armor forged from the soul of the Demon Frost Giant King Yimri, since I was a wee lad, I fought countless battles and only used this armor twice, once against the previous Queen of Dragons and now on my protegee! Ymir's fallen body was used to make the earth itself and I channel the power of Yimiri from this armor." Rey explained to me as he the overwhelming cold was almost balancing out with Altas Flames intense heat.

"No wonder you're known as the Ice King, that armor is so cold it's causing frostbite merely form its aura alone."Erenjack said to his master as he was causing overwhelming pressure from the cold which was freezing everything in a small area around the Ice King.

Meanwhile, Lena and her master Hilda Yesta clashed with each other and fought on dead even strength with Lena withstanding her elemental attacks. After a while clashing, Lena and Hilda stop to catch a breath.

"Looks like we're at an impasse!" Hilda said to Lena as they were getting serious.

"Indeed, ready to give up!" Lena asked her mentor.

"Hardly, now time to show you why i'm Queen of the Vakryles! God Soul: Freya." Hilda chanted as she turned into her Gopd Soul form, she grew Angelic wings made of light around her, She was covered in light energy as she wielded a sword and shield made of light with a white dress made of light.

"What's this?" Lena asked as she sees Hilda's Ferya mode.

"This is the remnants of the soul of Freya, the Goddess of the Vakryle race. her soul resides within this realm after the Grea god wars of the ancient era. Every generation, the head of the Yesta family is taught Soul Magic to seal the power of Feyra into them to lead the Vakryle race. I'm the 32nd head of the Yesta Clan who processes the power of Freya, the goddess of Light and love! Let's see how well you do!" Hilda said to Lena as she was going to attack Lena.

Meanwhile, Rena and the King of Giants was in a dead even clash with the Viking on the defensive for once.

"Hair Shower: Wolf Fang!" Rena chanted as she creates a wolf of her hair to attack the Giant King however he was able to cut the hair with ease and effortlessly sliced the wolf hair attack with his massive ax.

"You gotta do better than that!" Ragnarok said to Rena only to realize that Rena had strains around him

"Hair Shower: Flaming strains" Rena chanted as she shoots flaming curly strands of her hair at Tangrok but he uses his shield to block the attacks. He then goes to grab Rena.

"Got you!" King Rangrok said to Rena.

"ARGH!" Rena screamed with a blood-curdling scream as she's squeezed so hard that it looks like her body was compressing but then she smiled.

"Hair Shower; Crimson Illusion!" Rena chanted as the real her appears out of the soil k she was hiding, the activation of the attack causes a massive explosion but the king blocked the shield. He then sees her form her hair into a giant fist and goes behind him. Titan Hair Punch." Rena chanted as she swung her massive fist hitting the giant in the back with their massive punch knocking him down.

However, the Giant King got right back up and was up from the ground.

"Hahaha! Now that's one hell of a hit, I haven't been this hard since I battled my father for the throne in our Rite of Passage. Now then time to show you how we fight"Ragnarok said to Rena as they go into battle.

"I see, then it's all the more reason I can not hold back. The king replied as he was prepared to fight seriously." Berserker Fury!" Ranagork chanted as he pounded his chest with both hands repeatedly as his skin turned red and his muscles grew twice as huge.

"Whoa I didn't know Giants could use magic!" Rena said shocked to see the Giant King using what appears to be a transformation.

"Th s isn't magic, this is using my body vibrating so fast that it's creating changes in the body, increasing my power at the cost of my body, it's what we use to increase our already mighty strength." Ragnarok said to Rena as he got ready to fight at his full power.

While the others fought on struggling against the blazing heat and smoke, I was up against Altas Flames myself. I had to dodge the force of a 500 ton creature moving faster than a Charging elephant covered in flames which were bad enough, I also had to fight against the increasing amount of smoke around the stadium, Thankfully Victor's Barrier held through protecting the people inside however for everyone inside, they were subjected to intense smoke.

"Bubble Shot!" I chanted as I shot a volley of water bubbles towards Atlas flames from my hand like bullets which easily melt around him.

"Why are you using such a low-level attack on me, clearly there's more to you than this!" Altas Flames said to me as he walked towards me as I countered my relentless barrage, I just needed a bit more to test my theory, afterward, the steam starts to cover Altas flames face causing him to be blind.

"Gotcha!" I shouted as I then go into the air and go to slash at his face however perhaps shouting Gotcha wasn't the best form of attack.

"Hellfire Dragon Iron Tail!" Altas Flames chanted as he swings his flaming tail at me.

"Water Slash!" I unleashed my power from the arcing slash, putting enough power to not only hit the tail but also stunned Altas Flames a bit, my blow connected successfully, seeing his tail actually cool down and turn into a black rock like thing, leaped not wasting time and grabbed Altas Flames Tail.

"What?"Altas Flames said shocked as I began to swing his tail.

"I finally figured out your weakness, the more water vapor in the air, the more it weakens your Flame Body, Those random shots with bubble shot weren't merely s desperate maneuver but testing theory and it seems I found it."I explained to Altas Flames as I swung the dragon and then tossed him in the Arena wall which causes a massive explosion, kicking up dust within the area blinding everyone inside.

"Irene was able to figure out Altas Flames weakness so soon?" Metalaciiana said to Ingeel.

"Indeed, she's quite impressive of a fighter, her potential might be greater than her mother." Ingeel stated.

"Don't celebrate so soon, Altas Flames was merely holding back, right now he's about to fight seriously." Belserion replied with a cornered look on his face.

I knew that wasn't nearly enough to beat Altas Flames, I would need a far more powerful water spell to even come close to beating him and I was certainly no Lockser by any means. As expected Altas Flames easily reforms from the attack without a scratch on him and was looking rather annoyed.

"Not bad, you were able to put together some weaknesses with it, by exploiting the weakness of water, however, it's time I show you the true power of hellfire." Altas Flames said to me as he turned up the heat, literally.

The entirety of the area felt as if the sun was coming closer to us, it felt unbearably hot now and I was sweating more than a pig being roasted alive in an oven, even outside the barrier, the autumn air and temperatures felt like summer within the deserts of Egitto. The intensity of Altas Flames flames had a brightness that can be seen all around crocus. This was not merely B Class tier Dragon energy, this was within the A Ranks of dragons, did Altas get even stronger than I remember or was he holding back when he saved me from Siscccor Runner, to think Ingeel is even stronger than him. Even so, I was at best able to take on a B Class Dragon without the Homsigikaki No Stastuki at my current state, now i'm dealing with someone powerful enough to make the rank of Captain in the Dragonv Army. His flames were so intense that just his power and aura were stronger than even the 3 Isvanian Kings combined. He wasn't this powerful when he fought Motherglare and Motherglare was ridiculously strong.

"Now then Queen, here I come!" Atlas flame said to me as after he finished his sentence, he vanished. Before I realized it, there was a giant flaming fist coming towards me which I barely evaded, despite that I was still burned by the flames The second strike I wasn't able to see, and not even the 3 Kings of Isvanaian saw coming as well.

Altas Flames was kicking my ass badly,this wasn't like the sparring sessions as we had before, he was coming at me with everything he got, he was training all the time in preparation for the upcoming war.

"Water Blast!" I chanted ass I swung with full forces with two hands generating a massive blast of water which hits Altas Flames directly however it doesn't even faze him directly.

"That won't work on me!" Altas Flames replied as he grabbed me and threw me to the wall hitting the barrier with immense force and then punched me into the ground.

"RURRGH!" I shouted as my back hit the wall with tremendous force. I then saw Altas Flame fly to the sky and then leaped down with a Talon Strike.

"Hellfire Dragon Talon!" Altas Flames chanted as he hits the ground with devastating force creating another flame explosion. I then see him shoot a volley of Fireballs from the smoke which I barely dodged as they were moving so fast, I then leaped int he air and prepared my strongest aerial slash jumping as high as the stature of Diana and going down with my sword.

"Braveheart+ Water Slash!" I shouted as I swung with all my might hoping I could negate the flame body however as I impacted his head, the sword itself was melting and my hands were being burned by molten Iron and crystal"ARRGH!" I shouted as I leaped off of Altas Flamesd and rolled around to put out the flames. I was officially fucked right now, the Water sword was the only way I could damage Altas Flames, now it was gone.

"Let's see what you can do without relying on someone else weapon!" Altas Flames ad to me as i was going to fight regardless. Water sword or not, i could not give up, everyone is counting on me.

"I gotta push myself yo even higher limits, Deus Maximus!" I chanted as I increased her power to the max. I was maxing myself out, this was going to hurt like hell but so was being hurt by Altas Flames flames.

"She mastered that spell?" Ingeel asked.

"Deus Maximus, the highest level of enchantment magic. One becomes 10 times stronger, faster and more durable with the use of this spell, the downside is that it drains your life force faster and your stamina takes a huge hit from the use of this spell. Only a true enchantment master can use this spell without it backfiring and exploding their heart. Has she improved that much to use that spell? " Grandeeney explained to everyone.

It was my last chance, I don't know if my body could take it, I was struggling to even move as it felt like every part of my body was in pain but had to make it count. I tried to attack Altas Flames summoning another sword this time coated in even more Enchantment" Arms+ Veriner+Armror Times 4."

"Is she insane, combing that many Enchantments at once is going to get herself killed!"Grandeendy said to Belserion shocked at what i'm doing.

"How reckless can she be, her body can't handle that much stress!" Belserion said nervously.

"Let's do this!" I said to Altas Flames as she dashed towards him as we both moved at high speeds.

.Me and Altas Flames clashed at lote more evenly and faster, I was going on a gamble with this plan, it was all or nothing here, I had to carry through my plan if it fails, I fail, I couldn't touch him but I was blocking most of his blows successfully which impressed him but I was on borrowed time, one misstep could end me, be it the flames or be the extremely taxing technique i'm using on myself.

Eventually, the clash stopped and Altas Flames landed on the ground, this was not good.

"You're going to end up killing yourself Queen, that technique is too much for you." Altas Falme said lecturing me on the drain on my body.

"Hardly, I'm just getting started."I was, of course, bluffing, I was at my absolute limit.

"Then you leave me no choice, " he created a flame circled himself and me, giving the others space to fight within their side of the arena. There came my opportunity the moment I was waiting for.

Altas Flames began to spin his body around at high speeds as his flame body begins to transform into a Tornado of flames as he was engulfing me in an intense inferno.

"My Hellfire spin combines the intense flames of hell with the Dragon's weaknesses to too much motion sensitivity. Our draconic senses make us extremely sensitive to anything that can severely impact it such as extreme motion, combined with the tornado increasing the temperatures of my already hot flames, they burn even hotter than the surface of the sun, which is past the limit of even Fire Dragons." Atlas flames explained to Ime as I was begin engulfed in his ultimate technique,

Even with Victor's barrier, the stands and walls start to melt in the stadium surrounding clouds start dispersing and nearby water sources start drying up, upon the stands everyone cloths start to melt causing everyone to freak out.

"OH NO, EVERYONE'S CLOTHES ARE MELTING!" Anna shouted as she as she was losing her clothes.

"Such intense heat!" Victor Heartfilla said to his daughter as he noticed she was naked with nothing on

"OH NO! I'M NAKED TOO!" Anna shouted in panic as she covered her breast in desperation to shield herself from prying eyes, her father panics.

Erenjack and Sliver watch as the ground boils around them, the two were protected by their respective armors form clothes melting

"What's this heat, it's so intense!" Erenjack said to Rey, Rey's cold body, however, wasn't fazed despite being covered in Ice armor.

"Altas Flames is using his Hellfire Spin, a devastating attack that creates a giant flaming tornado as hot as the sun itself, looks like everyone's clothes are melting, even the women."Rey said prevertly as he glanced at the women stripped naked of their clothes;"'Especially check out the rack of the Pope's daughter!" Rey said nonchalantly to Erenjack

"This is no time to be perving out!" Ernejack responded only see Anna's massive rack and begins to nosebleed from the sight of her massive, voluptuous breasts with her exposed nipples and area.

"AVERT YOUR GAZE!" Victor shouted as he shot a flash of light blinding everyone in the path inculding Ernejack and Rye

"Damn old man had to kill the fun!" Rey grunted as he was blinded by his spell.

Anna screams as her clothes start to melt exposing her Breasts which she tries to cover getting Erenjacks attention the sight in front of him causing his nose to bleed, Hilda ray and victor are to busy with the barrier trying to keep the flames from spreading towards the city to worry about their, clothes Lena ducks behind Anna sending a glare at erenjack.

I had to act fast. The remaining of my clothes melted off, my skin was blistering hot fro the attack and that's before it even connected. Using what's left of the Sword of Neptune, I casted a water barrier to protect myself against the attack, I had to put all my power in the attack into this barrier if I don't , I could die, it was strenuous trying to keep the barrier up against a tornado of flames as the barrier was slowly evaporating and the water was heating up intensely.

After about a minute the flames start to die down and I lower my barrier, my jaw nearly hits the ground when I see the battlefield field almost all the sand and dust was turned into glass and the walls have melted as I look around.

"Holy shit!" I said to myself as the arena resembled stained glass, looking around me the people in the stadium all lost their clothes too, it was like a nudist event, the flames were so intense that everything was melted, despite that, the water barrier made it and evaporated into the air.

Rey and Erenjack were in their barries protecting themselves from the intense attack with even their defenses melting from the intense heat of the attack. Rey using his Ice-Make: Armor of Yimiri with Erenjack using the Thunder Emperor Armor using a Lightning Spear with Lightning Larcima to channel Lightning as attacks.

"Not bad!" Rey said to Erenjack as he clashes against his spear with his Axe.

"I've been training for the day to beat you and surpass you master!" Erenjack said to Rey.

'You're going to need to wait another day then, because of your biggest error!" Rey said to him as he goes to summon his massive mallet roughly the size of a 2 story building."Ice-Make: Mjolnir" Rey chanted as he was ready to attack.

"I got one even better, Hammer of Thor!" Erenjack countered as summoned a hammer that was conducting Lightning.

"You made a replica of our god Thor's holy hammer? Your blacksmithing skills truly are that of your fathers." Rey said to Erenjack.

"I will use this hammer to surpass your power Rey Fullbuster!"' Erenjack said to Rey as he was ready to clash.

"Let's see who's the better warrior!"Rey said to Erenjack as they both dashed towards each other.

The attacks collide, creating a massive explosion of lightning and steam, it was the last thing I saw from my comrades as I was too focused on my battle, I had to use the technique now or never.

"Not bad you're the first to use magic to block my hellfire spin however it seems to be your limit !"Altas Flame said to me as I did the barrier evaporite from me, however, the sheer amount of energy I put in the barrier was enough to cause so much water vapor that it created a local storm around the entire area, it all went according to plan."What? What's going on." Altas Flames asked shocked as he sees a massive torrential storm raining down at the force of a tropical storm.

"I had a feeling that I would finally goat you into using your Legendary Hellfire Spin. Thanks to your spell, I can now cast my final spell against you!" I said to him as I began to set up for my spell.

"Your bluffing, you have no Magic left!" Altas Flames said to me thinking I was bluffing.

"You're right, I have no more magic left...However I no longer need magic, all my magic was put in that final attack. All this time, iIwas trying to create enough water vapor to create storm clouds. Your flames were so intense it melted all of my water spells like nothing. Your flames created a sudden warmth in the Atmosphere that mixed with the cool Autumn air causing an air current to form, this is what created a storm."I explained to Altas flames as my plan was going to action.

"Seems like Irene is doing as planned?" Anna said to her dad as she was using a sheet to cover herself.

"You know this plan, Anna?" Victor asked her as they both had robes covering them from sheets they pulled out to prevent them from being exposed.

"I gave her the idea when we were in a library a few days ago, I gave her a book on how the atmosphere functions, after all when intense amounts of magic are thrown at once, storms are generated from that power and that's what got me and Irene the idea. Irene knew in a straight-up fight, she stood no chance against Altas Flames without the Homsigiaki No Satsuki, so she had to improvise and goat him into using his strongest fire spells. She intended to use Altas Flames own intense flames against him from the start." Anna explained to her father about our plan.

"So what you made it rain, you think a bit of rain would stop the Hellfire Dragon King!" Altas Flame said to me not impressed by it.

"No, but you're aware that an average storm cloud even a kilometer wide is enough to contain over 1,650,000 Gallons of water, what would happen if all 1,650,00 gallons of water were to explode and hit you at once." I said to Altas Flames as I set off my trap.

"What..."Altas Flames shouted shocked as there's a Gplyh symbol on the 1km kilometer wide cloud.

"Ehcanment...Explosion!" I chanced as I created a massive explosion. Within a second the cloud dispersed which creates a massive explosion, with the concentrated energy water from the cloud I then controlled with my Ehcnatment to come towards the arena. " Atmospheric Enchantment: Hydro Trebuchet, "I used the remaining amount of my magic to condense all the water vapor to create a large boulder shape water projectile that comes crashing down like a comet.

The shockwave generated by my concentrated explosion was enough to be felt, across the city as windows shatter. The torrential water engulfs the entire stadium area with over 9 meters of water filling up the area, the force of the water threw me into a wall, breaking my back and making me temporary paralyzed. Silver created an Ice Platform to prevent me from drowning, the barrier barely withstood the attack itself as it was filled with cracks.

After a minute, I was on an ice platform above 9 meters of water that filled the battle arena. I looked towards Altas Flame. I couldn't move might body much. I couldn't hear anything but ringing in my ears, had not for Sliver, I would've drowned and died in my attack. The arena took some considerable damage from the extreme heat and flooding but it was doable I get into a sitting position and survey the arena most of,the walls are gone the floor is broken, I turn my head and see Atlas Flame on the floor his flames have gone out and he was wet, he was out cold, my gambit worked out perfectly., it, takes,everything I have but I stand up and raise my arm, I am declared the winner.

"I did it ..." I said to myself as I was happy but it was to be shortlived as I noticed that despite their injuries, the 3 Kings were not defeated whereas Lena, Erenjack, and Rena were in separate Ice Platforms out cold.

"You won against Altas Flame but you failed your true test!" Rey said to me.

"What you mean I failed my tue test?" I asked him,I was able to beat Altas Flames with great difficulty, how did i fail I wondered?

"Ask yourself this Irene, in your current condition, you think you can fight any of us? The answer is obvious." Rey said to me while near a fallen Erenjack.

"While defeating a Dragon of Altas Flames caliber was amazing, you forgot that it was us and Altas Flame verus you and your firends?" Hilda explained to me with a fallen Lena near her.

"What was supposed to do, help them while fighting you? It took everything I got to deal with jut Altas Flames." I said to them as I could barely stand.

"Exactly, you have power but you don't know how to use your powers efficiently enough yet. You rely sorely on brute strength and not nearly enough on stragerty, had you strategized better, you could've beaten Altas Flames without using those risky Enchantment techniques that almost killed you." Rey explained to me noting my recklessness.

"The fact that you can't others without taxing yourself too much is proof you still have a long way to go before you reach your father's mastery of Enchantment. After all, you're the Queen of Dragons, dragons and humans alike are to rely on your Enchantment magic to boost and strengthen their prowess in a war, if you lack the stamina and skill to do that that could make the difference between life and death.." Hilda said to me berating my skills.

"You're right, I didn't realize how selfish I was being, I thought that Erenjack and the others could've handled it with their training." I explained to them not aware this was a team matchup.

"You have until July of next year where we open the Grand Magic Games to train and improve your enchantment magic, that would the key to making you the true Queen of Dragons." Rey replied explaining what I need to improve.

The kings walked away from the stadium. While I proved I could beat a Dragon of Altas Flames caliber, it was ulimately fuilte as if I couldn't protect my best firends, it would be all for not. I had to get better at Enchantment Magic so I can take up my parent's mantle as the Queen of Dragons. For the moment I rested in the hospital for a week for overusing my magic again while my friends got hospitalized for only 3 days, quite the patent here. At this point when I eventually have a child, that pain would be nothing to me.

I was able to beat Altas Flames with my planning and skills however as Rey pointed out, I lost the true battle overall. Rena, Lena, and Erenjack lost to their respective masters. Lena lost due to her lack of psychical strength, Erenjack lost due to lack of speed and lack of cutting power and Rena lost because her attacks are too predictable and she lacked defense. I lost in the end as the main goal was to fight Altas Flames while being able to support my comrades with enchantment, something I couldn't do at the same time as it deeply exhausted me just to fight Altas Flames.


3rd person POV

Nercoplios, below Merecilius

Victor Heartfilla was called to visit the underground of the castle known as the Catacombs of the Traitors where the worse criminals of Fiore History and traitors are buried within the depths of Crocus.

"Why did you bring me here?"Victor said to the Queen of Fiore.

"We have a problem, someone broke into this catacombs and stole bodies here." Queen Sabre said to the middle-aged Pope. She shows him almost a dozen Coffins,opened up.

"How is that possible? It's a serect part of the castle no one knows about." Victor stated horrified that the place was breached.

"Worse yet, the bodies stolen were of the Zentopian Rebels who rebelled against Fiore 6 years ago." Queen Sarbe explained to Victor.

"Who could be responsible or this, we might have a religious insurrection amongst us. Frist Baal's release from imprisonment and now this mysterious disappearance of 12 bodies. We have a potentially dangerous sect in Zentopia set to overthrow the country again." Vitor said to the queen foreshadowing a possible conflict.


Meanwhile in the outskirts of Fiore near the Woodworth Sea

A scene of utter carnage body parts and corpses litter the ground as a single man stands hovering over 12 fallen demons, but something is wrong with this man his body is littered with holes and he is missing his left arm, above his right eye is a hole through his head, a look of sadness on his face as the hole closes and his limb grows back after a few seconds all his injuries are healed.

"Pathetic, I created you guys to kill me along with 10,000 of your kind and not a single one of you can kill me." Zeref said to his demons.

"Sorry for being so weak Master!" Kyouka said to them.

"Why always ask you to kill you when you know damn well we can't fucking kill you."Jackal shouted.

"My apologies, I'm just tired of living, I want to end it all already but thanks to Asekrhman, i'm cursed this way. Before I started creating you guys I was attempting to drown myself, threw myself into a volcano, threw myself off the tallest mountain in the world within Gupta and even traveled to the deepest trench in the ocean to kill myself, even the pressure of the ocean couldn't destroy this body."

"Indeed we thank you for giving us life, but there's nothing we can do." Mard Geer said to Zeref.

"Do not apologize, I know a way to remedy this situation. A long time ago, the legendary Fire Phoenix known as Bel was said to have been defeated within the great god wars. It's said that the immortal Phonex would resurrect itself soon, it gives u the ultimate opportunity for you guys to capture the spirit while it's in its half-dead state and use it along with the Infinity Clock to create the ultimate weapon, one that can ensure my demise, END."Zeref explained to them the plan.

To Be continued


(A/N: And now things get serious. Tatarus is gearing up for their attack and would soon launch their Demon Army, Could Irene and her forces get strong enough in time or would Taurus prove too much for them.

Yep for the fight with Irene and Altas Flames, i had to use her using a Water Sword Erenjack made because of realistically without the Homsigikai No Satsuki. As for the Naruto style ending with Irene vs Altas Flame, I based Irene's Atmospheric Enchantment: Hydro Trebuchet on Sasuke's Kirin but replaced Lightning for water as it would be the only way for Irene to beat Altas Flames realistically.

As you all know, an average storm cloud even a kilometer wide is enough to contain over 1,650,000 Gallons of water, that would be roughly 6,247.5 Mertic Tons of water condensed into a massive Stone like projectile moving at Faster than Lightning speeds against roughly 500 tons of a walking Flame dragon, Irene used c enough water vapor to create storm clouds using her water spells to attack Altas Flames and have his flames to melt, creating a sudden warmth in the Atmosphere that mixed with the cool Autumn air causing an air current to form, this is what created a storm that allowed her to use her trump card.

As you can tell with the defeat of Lena, Rena, Erenjack and even Irene, this was a moment to show how much stronger they've become and how much stronger they need to get and how much they need to learn and this would also be foreshadowing what's to come later in this this chapter has been delayed as within my respect thread on Erza cost me over 2 weeks of time and i've been helping my mother get ready for her surgery.
