And also flowed towards Gajeel along the Iron Dragon Sword that Gajeel had extended.
"Shadow Dragon's - Rapid Sparrow Flash!"
The black aura instantly enveloped Gajeel's body, and then a huge force struck.
Gajeel's entire body was directly thrown into the sky as if he had received a huge blow.
Buzz... The shadow gathered into Rogue's body and appeared in Gajeel's original position.
Bang——!! The sound of Gajeel's feet landing came from behind.
When Gajeel stood up again, he was surprised to find that Rogue had disappeared.
"Where is he..."
Noticing that something was wrong, he immediately turned to look behind him.
That was where it was also empty, and it seemed that only he himself was left in this entire space, and...
That long shadow that was reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Shadow!!"
Gajeel immediately reacted.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, the shadow under his body seemed to have opened its eyes that revealed a deep light.
"Shadow Dragon's - Slash!!"
The jet-black shadow began to shrink, gathering into a ball.
A hand seemed to stretch out from the shadow, and jet-black lines turned into sharp swords and shot towards Gajeel.
Seeing the attack coming, Gajeel quickly raised both hands to protect his head.
The lines that had turned into sharp swords seemed to have a considerable degree of sharpness.
The clothes on Gajeel's body also began to shatter under the bombardment of countless lines.
Boom boom boom————!!!
Successive explosions rang out, and 'Rogue' revealed his figure.
Looking at Gajeel, who was constantly defending, a happy smile rose on his face covered with black scales.
And his face was also projected without reservation on the magic crystal screen in front of all the viewers.
In the direction of Sabertooth.
Frosch was staring blankly at the face on the screen.
His pupils were trembling, and seemed to be filled with doubt and... fear!
It was clearly the same face, but it gave Frosch an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.
"Who are you??" He asked this question.
Tightening his small paws, Frosch jumped off the viewing platform and started running towards Crocus with his short legs.
"I have to hurry over there... I have to get Rogue back..."
——————
"First! That is..." On the Fairy Tail viewing platform.
Makarov, who had been a little puzzled before, immediately understood what was going on and exclaimed in horror.
"He seems to be possessed by something..." Even Mavis was full of solemnity.
Lowering her head slightly, Mavis frowned tightly: "That person named Rogue, the nature of his magic power has changed..."
"It's a... very, very evil..."
"Magic power that doesn't exist in the scope of my knowledge!"
Levy's hands involuntarily intertwined, as if she was praying for Gajeel.
On the battlefield between Gajeel and Rogue.
The smoke and dust had shaded Gajeel's figure, and 'Rogue' shook his head lightly.
The smile on his face was clearly visible.
"As expected... you're still not as strong as Natsu Dragneel!"
Speaking of this, he paused, seeming to be thinking about something.
"However, even that Natsu Dragneel is no match for me now, hmph hmph hmph haha~~"
'Rogue' couldn't help but laugh.
"Gihhee~"
Suddenly, a mocking laugh came from the smoke and dust.
'Rogue's' smile stopped abruptly.
His eyes turned to the looming figure in the smoke and dust.
"Brat, you're a hundred years too early if you want to defeat us!!"
Whoosh——!!
The smoke and dust scattered violently, as if it had been scattered by a figure that had passed by at high speed.
Then, Rogue noticed that his collar had been grabbed by something.
"It wasn't easy to find you, you little brat who's been hiding all the time!"
Gajeel, whose entire body had turned into steel, grinned.
His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the Iron Dragon's scales seemed to reflect the metallic luster in the sunlight.
Bang——!!
The fist slammed heavily on 'Rogue's' face.
The figure that had been sent flying by the huge force was stopped by the arm that had grabbed his collar.
"Gihhee~ I won't let you escape so easily!"
At this moment, 'Rogue' finally saw Gajeel's current situation clearly.
Under the torn clothes, was skin made of steel that was glowing with a metallic luster.
And his attack just now only seemed to have caused subtle scratches on his body.
Apart from that, there were no injuries at all.
This situation made 'Rogue' a little unbelievable.
"He... is he that strong?"
Without giving Rogue too much time to think.
Gajeel's attack, like a torrential rain, fell towards 'Rogue'.
After enduring a few blows in pain, 'Rogue' seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Relying on the even more powerful [Shadow Power], 'Rogue' constantly moved and attacked.
But after using the Black Iron Mode, Gajeel, in his entire body made of steel state, also possessed speed that surpassed his usual speed.
And facing 'Rogue's' attack, Gajeel, covered with Iron Dragon scales, directly chose to take it head-on.
And took this opportunity to grab the moving 'Rogue' and retaliate.
The injuries of the two were constantly accumulated in these attacks.
Although 'Rogue' was obviously at a disadvantage.
But the attack power that was even stronger than when he used the Dragon Force before, and the corrosive effect carried in the attack.
Also made Gajeel suffer a little.
——————
Bang————!!
After another head-on collision, the two retreated dozens of meters from each other.
'Rogue' had a solemn face, and in his cognition, Gajeel shouldn't have such powerful power.
Slowly straightening his figure, he looked at Gajeel.
"It's really surprising, I didn't expect that with the power I gave you, you would still be suppressed..."
'Rogue' said in admiration.
"This is just the beginning, brat!" Gajeel tilted his head slightly.
The grin on his face was clear: "This level of power is nothing to me, you shouldn't only have this much power, right?"
"Of course not..."
'Rogue' smiled slightly, even though the body covered with scars was still trembling slightly.
"But... everything will end!" He slowly stretched out his hand.
In an instant, a dark magic circle unfolded under Gajeel's body.
"It was left behind during the battle just now..." Gajeel understood in an instant.
Then, the shadow under his body began to twist.
A large number of black lines extended from the black shadow, tightly entangled Gajeel's limbs.
An invisible pulling force came from the shadow under his body.
Seeming to want to completely pull him into the world of shadows.
"The shadow will completely devour you, and make you disappear from this world forever!"
"Sleep in the darkness..."
