Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

As someone who enjoyed watching fun unfold, Irene merely wanted to see what kind of expression this foolish dragon before her would reveal after she personally gave him hope, then personally bestowed the greatest despair upon him by shattering that hope…

”Weak…”

”Not needed…”

”I am too feeble…”

Ireneʼs words were like sharp swords directly stabbing into Animusʼs heart. His expression filled with pain as he continuously stepped backward, despair filling his face…

Ireneʼs words directly destroyed all of Animusʼs self-esteem built over four hundred years.

One must know that although Animus had lived under Acnologiaʼs shadow for the past four hundred years, it was merely under Acnologiaʼs shadow. After all, he was still the only dragon in four hundred years who had survived after clashing with the Black Dragon King. He still possessed some pride and backbone!

Especially during these four hundred years, Animus had never encountered humans as powerful as Acnologia again. As humanity prospered and countless magics bloomed everywhere, humans no longer had to face dragons devouring them anytime and anywhere, and instead became increasingly weaker. This made Animus more and more arrogant, believing humans to be lowly creatures and only dragons to be noble. He believed that as long as he regained his true body, he could definitely rule the world…

But now, as Ireneʼs words fell, all his pride had been utterly crushed…

”Ah, your expression is truly wonderful~”

Irene nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the despair in Animusʼs eyes.

”Of course, if you join our Fairy Tail Guild, then helping you is not impossible…”

Just as Irene gave Animus despair, Evan extended a helping hand toward the despairing Animus.

”Help me?!”

Animus froze for a moment before looking toward Evan.

Feeling the majestic power within Evan that rivaled a Dragon King, Animusʼs eyes flashed with excitement…

Thatʼs right, there was not only Irene, a Dragon King-level existence, present here. If Irene would not help him, he could still seek help from another Dragon King-level existence!

”As long as I join your Fairy Tail or whatever it is, you will help me, correct?”

Animus looked at Evan with a pleading expression.

”Of course. After all, once you join Fairy Tail, you and I will be companions. However, my Separation Magic is not as powerful as Ireneʼs and cannot achieve her level of perfect separation, so you will need to give me some time. At the very least, give me a few years~”

Evan smiled slightly as he softly spoke to Animus.

”No problem. What I lack least is time…”

Animus continuously nodded. He had already waited over four hundred years. It was merely a few more years. Even if he had to wait several more decades or even centuries, what did it matter?!

After all, in front of a dragonʼs lifespan, several decades were merely the blink of an eye…

”Very good~”

Evan slightly raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at the completely fooled Animus.

In a few more years, he would probably already be able to directly brawl with Acnologia head-on. During this period, he would properly use Animusʼs traits to mass-produce Dragon Slayer Magic Crystals…

In the future, every member of Fairy Tail Guild across the continent of Ishgar, including the warriors of the Magic Council ERA, would each possess a Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, turning the entire organization into little dragon people!

Although these mass-produced Dragon Slayer Magic Crystals could not compare to those made from actual dragon hearts, they were still sufficient to drastically increase the combat strength of weaker Mages…

At that time, throughout the entire world of Earth-land, whether in terms of the quality of top-tier combat power or the quality of ordinary Mages, Fairy Tail would no longer have any enemies ahead of them…

Speaking of which, at that point, should Fairy Tail Guild rename itself to Cassell Academy?!

”Hahaha…”

Thinking of this, Evan wrapped his arm around Animusʼs shoulder and laughed extremely cheerfully.

”Then from now on, let us get along well together~ Senior Animus…”

Evan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at the Animus he had wrapped in his embrace.

”Mm…”

Being held by a monster at the level of a Dragon King, Animus did not dare move at all. He could only continuously nod his head like a pecking chicken. Where was the previous arrogance of King Animus now?!

”Stare...”
