Laxus was a bit hot-headed right now.
A week ago, he had just returned to the guild after completing an S-Class mission when he overheard his guildmates—the ones who were always drinking and chatting, seemingly never working yet always having money to spend—discussing the dragons of the Northern Continent.
As a Dragon Slayer Mage, he had never seen or encountered a real dragon, which had always been a regret for Laxus. So, he uncharacteristically put aside his tsundere pride and asked his companions about it.
What he learned was astonishing.
There were living dragons on the Northern Continent, and more than just one.
All of the guild's Dragon Slayer Mages had gone to Giltina with Hope, except for one person: him...
When he heard this news, a certain scoundrel's smirking face, leading Natsu and Gajeel as his sidekicks, mockingly appeared in Laxus's mind.
"Hey, Laxus."
"We're having an awesome Dragon Slayer Mage event, and all the guild's Dragon Slayer Mages are going to participate, but guess who wasn't invited?"
"It's you~"
Although it was just an imagined scenario, Laxus had no doubt that Hope, that mischievous guy, was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
The Fairy Tail Dragon Slayer Mages were going to the Northern Continent, Giltina, for a team-building event, and he, the second strongest Dragon Slayer Mage in the guild, wasn't included.
How could this be allowed?
The Thunder God Tribe was out on a mission, so he didn't have any close companions with him, but Laxus decided to go to Giltina by himself, by boat.
A Dragon Slayer Mage, crossing the ocean by boat.
Isn't that bold?
Laxus told no one and secretly boarded a merchant ship bound for the Northern Continent. However, on the very first day, he was so seasick that he regretted it.
But there was no turning back once the arrow was shot. Laxus's actions perfectly illustrated what it meant to suffer for the sake of pride, enduring six days at sea before finally arriving in Giltina.
It was fortunate that Dragon Slayer Mages had strong physiques; any ordinary person would have lost their life immediately.
Coincidentally, the port where Laxus disembarked was very close to Ermina, the Water God Dragon's territory, so he hurried there.
A Dragon Slayer Mage who has never fought a dragon is incomplete.
Laxus, who had intended to show off his skills and challenge the Water God Dragon, had just arrived in the coastal town of Ermina when he heard news that the Water God Dragon was building an underwater paradise with a group of Earth Mages.
Wait, when did dragons become so approachable?
What about the dignity of a top overlord?
Experiencing firsthand the locals' respect and reverence for the Water God Dragon, Laxus realized that it was a good dragon. At least for the residents of this town, the Water God Dragon was their guardian deity.
If he were to injure the Water God Dragon, wouldn't he incur the wrath of the entire town? So, of course, he gave up the challenge.
Thus, Laxus, completely unaware of the power gap between himself and the Water God Dragon, found a hotel to rest. After drifting at sea for so many days, he was also very tired.
It was just his luck that some annoying guys started trouble while he was eating. Four Mages from an unknown guild at the next table were loudly boasting about killing the Water God Dragon and feasting on its flesh and blood.
This angered the surrounding locals, who wanted to drive these arrogant ruffians out of town, but what could ordinary people do against a few Mages? If they actually fought, they would be the ones to suffer.
Laxus actually didn't want to get involved, but those self-proclaimed Dragon Eaterss were simply too rampant.
If they wouldn't let him eat in peace, then no one would eat.
So, Laxus, itching for a fight, decisively flipped the table.
The moment the lightning exploded, the glass on the entire street vibrated. Before those self-proclaimed "Dragon Eaterss" could even react, three of them were directly blasted away by the electric light.
Only one uncle, carrying a coffin and wearing a monocle, remained unscathed, still seated.
"Bastard..."
"How dare you lay hands on us?!"
"Do you know who we are?!"
The three Mages who were repelled quickly surrounded Laxus, each displaying their respective magic: 'Bone Dragon Slayer,' 'Armor Dragon Slayer,' 'Slime Dragon Slayer'...
They were all Dragon Slayer Mages.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't care to know."
Laxus stood with one hand in his pocket, the other still holding his unfinished ale, his expression so arrogant it was infuriating. "I don't know who you are, and I don't care to know."
"But you interrupted my meal."
"Hmph! Arrogant! Let me show you the power of Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer Magic!"
The Mage in a tight suit, using 'Slime Dragon Slayer' Magic, directly shot out a glob of slime. "Remember, the one who defeated you is Nebal of the Dragon Devourer Guild 'Diabolos'!"
Laxus tilted his head back and downed his drink in one gulp, then casually tossed the cup forward. A burst of golden lightning flashed, instantly melting and evaporating the disgusting slime.
At the same moment the dazzling golden light vanished, Nebal's scream rang out.
Laxus's impossibly fast punch heavily struck his chest, and the current that penetrated his body instantly made Nebal convulse and foam at the mouth.
Leaving the incapacitated Nebal, Laxus looked disdainfully at the other two. "Dragon Eaterss, is that all you've got?"
The Bone Dragon Slayer Mage and the Armor Dragon Slayer Mage exchanged glances and unhesitatingly rushed forward, attacking Laxus together.
One could turn objects to ash, the other possessed absolute defensive capabilities. Not to mention ordinary Mages, even some S-Class Mages facing these two with their perfect teamwork would likely only suffer defeat.
However, an S-Class Mage from Fairy Tail, could they even be called S-Class?
A minute later, Laxus stepped on the Bone Dragon Slayer Mage, who was wearing a ferocious bone helmet, and looked down at the Armor Dragon Slayer Mage, whose armor was shattered into pieces, his tone filled with disappointment.
"Nonsensical beings, your purity is far too low."
"You can't even compare to the hot-blooded idiot at my place."
Clap, clap, clap—
Unhurried applause sounded. The coffin-carrying uncle, who had witnessed his companions' defeat, finally stood up, and the heavy coffin clattered to the ground.
"Be careful... Lord Kirin..."
The Bone Dragon Slayer Mage, lying on the ground, weakly said, "This guy is as strong as a monster..."
Kirin didn't heed his companion's warning. He merely squatted down, stroking the surface of the coffin, and said to Laxus, "This is truly troublesome. Your physique won't fit into this coffin."
"Should I dismember you and then stuff you in?"
"No, that's too gruesome... I'm not a pervert."
Seeing the conflicted expression on his face, Laxus chuckled, "No need to worry, you're the one going into the coffin."
"Oh? I hadn't actually considered that problem."
Kirin pushed up the brim of his hat, giving Laxus an inscrutable smile, and then golden lightning erupted from within him.
Laxus's pupils contracted slightly, and his body instinctively shifted sideways. A sharp bolt of lightning grazed his cheek, exploding into a large hole in the wall behind him.
That was... Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic!
