Chapter 270: The Hellfire Dragon's Past
While 'Silver' retreated, he waved his hands at great speed, launching the only remaining mana in his body into the air, and when he reached the highest point, he formed a huge dark pink ice ball.
With the control of 'Silver', both hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the huge ice ball, like a bomb, made a huge explosion, and the deafening sound spread throughout this realm, so that Mineba and Germain, who were still alive, saw the ice ball in the air explode at the same time, which was a signal that they had decided before, and after getting this information, they did not stop at the moment, and retreated towards the place they had agreed on as fast as possible.
And after Gray faced the arrival of the Hell Flame Dragon, the whole person suddenly looked extremely tired and sat down weakly. After resting for a while, Gray and the Infernal Dragons walked towards the deepest part of the 'Village of the Sun'.
At the same time, several people in different directions were also walking towards the same place.
When everyone came here one after another, the first thing that caught their eyes was a building that looked like an altar. Looking towards the altar, I saw a mist on the empty platform.
"There's no flame," Wendy muttered to herself, looking at the empty table.
"Eternal Flame... disappeared..."Lucy also looked at the stage in a daze, as if talking to herself, and as if she continued to follow Wendy's words.
And the most unbelievable thing was Freya, who looked at the altar in a daze, as if the whole person had been evacuated, instantly collapsed, sat on the ground, and said with a sluggish face: "What... How so... The eternal flame that has always guarded the village... Unexpectedly... extinguished..."
Then, with her hands on the ground, Freya lowered her head, looked at the ground below her, and muttered, "That's the Eternal Flame that has guarded the village for 400 years, how could it just disappear like this?" So how can I save this village!? Woooooo
As she spoke, Freya's tears welled up in her eyes and fell to the ground, marking one watermark after another. The extremely sad atmosphere was instantly transmitted to Lucy and the others around him.
Looking at Freya at this time, Ming Feng didn't know how to persuade him, after all, what happened here had completely departed from the original book, and even he didn't know the next development, let alone whether those giants who had faded from the ice would be able to wake up.
Just when everyone was looking at Freya in silence, and some empathy was immersed in this sad atmosphere with her, and they didn't know what to do next, a voice suddenly came over and said, "What are you doing, why is the atmosphere so weird?" β
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, the first thing everyone saw was not Gray who spoke, but the dragon behind him, still burning with flames all over his body.
"Uncle!? How did you end up here? Natsu was the first to react, and greeted the Hellfire Dragon with a smile on his face.
The Hellfire Dragon turned his head and looked at Natsu on the ground, and a majestic voice suddenly came out, saying, "Son of Igunir, we meet again..."
While responding to Natsu, the Hell Flame Dragon turned his head to the altar again, and when he saw the empty platform, he immediately sighed and continued, "Eh...! I didn't expect that the village I created and guarded at the beginning still exists, but..."
"Just what?" Lucy could most empathize with Freya's sadness at this time, and directly interrupted the words of the Hell Flame Dragon, and asked directly.
"It's just a pity that the flame I left behind, it hasn't told me what has happened all these years..."The Hellfire Dragon didn't feel any displeasure when his speech was interrupted, but explained it according to Lucy's words.
βοΌοΌ β
Listening to the words of the Hell Flame Dragon, everyone looked at it in shock, they didn't expect that the Hell Flame Dragon would actually joke and whet people's appetites.
"You are the master of the Eternal Flame?" When Freya heard the words of the Hell Flame Dragon, she instantly got up from the ground and asked at it.
Turning his head, he looked at the person who spoke, with fiery red hair and a flame-like aura, and felt the Eternal Flame that he had left here before from this breath, and then he replied: "Yes, it should be more than 400 years ago, it was I who created this village, and left the Eternal Flame here as the guardian flame of this village!" β
Hearing this, Freya immediately knelt on the ground, knocked her head on her hands folded on the ground, kept kowtowing like this, and said, "You are the patron saint of this village, the Flame of the Giants!! We ask for your help!! Please let this village shine again!! Free the village!! Wake up my fathers!! β
After solemnly and sincerely saying these words, Freya continued to kowtow a few more times, her tone was both deep and a little sincere.
Seeing this person who treated it with great courtesy, the Hell Flame Dragon lowered his head, looked Freya up and down again, and asked, "Little girl, are you from this village?" β
"Yes! I was picked up by my fathers, so... That's why I'm different from my fathers..."It was difficult for Freya to accept such a question, after all, she hated herself very much because she was too different from her fathers, so she escaped from the village, met 'Ivan Dolea', and joined the crow's tail. But at this time, he was the patron saint of the village and the greatest hope for rescuing his fathers, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and gave a very positive answer, but the latter words were a little embarrassed.
"Good! Very good! Follow me for the rest of the year! I'll teach you magic! The Hell Flame Dragon's eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and he said this with an extremely happy expression.
βοΌοΌ β
As soon as the Hell Flame Dragon's words came out, they immediately stunned everyone present, and they all knew very well what it would mean. It is not difficult to imagine that in a year, there will be another dragon slayer on this continent.
And Freya was also shocked by such a sentence and stood on the spot, although she grew up in this village, but after going out for so long, she naturally understood that the words of the Hell Flame Dragon were to make her also a dragon slayer magician.
"Thank you, Patronus! I'll learn magic from you! It's justβ" Freya suddenly reacted, and immediately expressed her attitude, but in the end, she didn't know how to turn the conversation back to rescuing her fathers, fearing that if she continued to remind the Hellfire Dragon, it would make it unhappy, and the best hope that could have saved the village would become hopeless.
"No need, when I just rushed back here, I had already lifted the ice here, they haven't recovered at this time, it will take a little time, after all, from extreme cold to extreme heat will make their bodies explode, and they can only slowly recover from the outside in." The Hellfire Dragon saw Freya's thoughts and explained her fears.
"Freya, you will also become a dragon slayer in the future, we will congratulate you first!" Ming Feng said sincerely to Freya.
Then, he said to the Hell Flame Dragon, "Giant Flame, there is something I would like to ask. β
"You're not from the Village of the Sun, so you don't have to call me Giant's Flame, it's the name given to me by the villagers here when I created this village." The Hell Flame Dragon looked at the little human in front of him, and it admired this young man who had an extraordinary performance in the Dragon King Sacrifice, so he said so.
After listening to the other party's words, Ming Feng was not polite, and directly addressed Natsu as usual, and said: "Uncle, during the battle just now, I bombarded a very, very, very deep hole, this is obviously not caused by my magic, it should have been there in the first place, do you know what it is for?" β
Ming Feng really couldn't forget about the huge crater that he had bombarded during the battle just now, so he asked the Hell Flame Dragon about it.
"What!! You broke that hole? The Hell Flame Dragon suddenly asked in shock, and the expression on his face was extremely urgent, as if the hole had an unusual meaning to it.
Ming Feng saw that the Hell Flame Dragon's reaction was so intense, so he immediately nodded and replied in the affirmative.
"Good! Very good! Very good! "The Hell Flame Dragon suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, to be precise, it was a dragon, and it was completely different from the previous majestic appearance, and it became excited like a child.
βοΌοΌοΌ β
Seeing that the Hell Flame Dragon suddenly became like this, everyone had a question mark, not understanding what kind of pit was, which could make a giant dragon high above instantly become as excited as a child.
"Uncle, what kind of pit can make you so excited?" Natsu was puzzled and curious about what kind of pit it could make the dragon who had always maintained his majesty so interested. Thinking about it, the pit must have been very adventurous, which made Natsu look very excited.
"Ahem!" After listening to Natsu's words, the Hell Flame Dragon immediately reacted, and coughed twice in embarrassment, only then did it return to its previous majestic appearance, and continued: "That pit is a passage to Hell in ancient times, and the reason why I founded this village here 400 years ago is to be able to break through that passage one day, so that I can enter Hell again and continue my cultivation. β
βοΌοΌ β
The words of the Hell Flame Dragon made everyone present immediately startled, and they all looked at it with stunned expressions, feeling that what they had heard was a plot that only existed in legends.
"When I was a little dragon, the dragons were divided into two factions because of human problems, and they fought with each other, and my parents were also killed on the spot in a big battle between the two factions, and even the bones were not left, which led to me always fighting with dragons of the same age when I was young, because of the protection of my parents, and because of this, I had few friends in the dragon clan, and Igonil was one of the few." Seeing everyone's expressions, the Hell Flame Dragon patiently told the ins and outs of the matter.
When everyone heard that the Hell Flame Dragon seemed to be telling a story, they all sat on the ground and listened attentively.
"Once, after I caused a catastrophe, I fled from the gathering place of our dragons who were close to humans, but it was this departure that made me never go back to the dragons' habitat..."The Hellfire Dragon continued, as if he was stuck in the memories of the beginning.
And Natsu's anxious son, in the pause of the Hell Flame Dragon, couldn't wait to ask, "And then?" β
Awakened by Natsu's question, the Hell Flame Dragon spoke again: "After I left the Dragon Clan, I continued to travel around the continent to enhance my strength, but the effect was very small, after all, although many of the dragons' magic is innate, as long as they reach a certain age, they can naturally use it, but the methods that can be used are passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, which is also the fundamental reason why I can't live peacefully with other dragons in the Dragon Clan." β
"At that time, the two factions of the dragon clan were fighting fiercely, and I left my homeland without the protection of an adult dragon, and after encountering the dragon of the rival camp, I was seriously injured and ran out, but even so, I lost two front paws. At that time, I was really disillusioned, and I felt that I would not have any hope in this life, when I met someone..."As the Hell Flame Dragon spoke, the whole scene was very silent, and everyone was listening carefully to this untold story.
Seeing the appearance of everyone, the Hell Flame Dragon continued: "That man said that he had lived longer than the dragon clan, and was born long before the war of the gods, and after I heard his story, that person told me here, saying that if I can have great determination, I can quickly improve my strength. β
"Could it be that the method he said to improve his strength is..."Ming Feng suddenly thought of what the Hell Flame Dragon had said before, and asked out loud.
Hearing this, the Hell Flame Dragon directly interrupted Ming Feng's words and continued to follow Ming Feng's words: "Hmm! It just let me go to hell to cultivate, which is why I have no substance, and I always only appear in the eyes of everyone in elemental form! To this day, I still remember that as soon as I entered the hell, I felt the flames around me, and after I knew how to cultivate, I stayed in the hell until my body was completely burned by the hellfire, and my new body would be like this. β
"Then since you have already obtained the cultivation method, why are you still so interested in that passage?" Natsu was still very puzzled, and asked very curiously.
Hearing such a question, the Hell Flame Dragon didn't want to explain the things in the hell, but at this time he had to say it, so he had to mumble a sentence in a low voice before he said: "Because, in addition to the corrosive flames in hell, there is also an unknown ice flame, and only this ice flame will allow me to complete the hell magic." β
