Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 464: Makarov, You Actually Recruited the World-Destroying Black Dragon into the Guild?!

”Acnologia? Could it be that Acnologia from the Apocalypse?”

As Lucyʼs teammate made his dazzling entrance, the group of old gamblers inside the Fairy Tail guild were all stunned. Immediately afterward, they could no longer control their own heart attacks.

”Of course…”

”Back then, we also fought Acnologia on that deserted island. Unfortunately, whether it was our magic or Natsuʼs Dragon Slayer Magic, neither had the slightest effect on Acnologia!”

”In the end, it was Natsuʼs father, Igneel, who stepped in and briefly suppressed Acnologia! Although, in the end, even Igneel lost…”

Gray heard the discussions from his companions beside him and directly confirmed Acnologiaʼs identity.

”Then how did you defeat Acnologia and even bring him into the guild?”

Just listening to Grayʼs description, Macao could already imagine how tragic that battle must have been. At the same time, Macao was curious about exactly how Acnologia had joined Fairy Tail.

”In the end, Yven, Irene, Selene, Ignia, August, and Zeref all joined forces. Only then were they barely able to defeat him! You could say that guy was completely a monster!”

Gray thought for a moment before explaining to Macao.

”I see…”

Macao nodded vigorously. At the same time, the look he gave Acnologia became increasingly respectful.

To be able to fight alone against Yven, Irene, Selene, Ignia, August, and Zeref, all of them the top combatants of Fairy Tail, even though Acnologia had ultimately been defeated, it had already proven just how powerful he was…

”Hmph~”

Acnologia had naturally heard Gray and Macao discussing him, but he said nothing.

Was he supposed to grab Macaoʼs hand and tell him, ”Actually, Yven and the others didnʼt defeat me with any difficulty at all. I was just getting beaten the entire time, and in the end I even got slapped twice so hard that several of my teeth were knocked out”?

”Wait, Lucy and Acnologia are teaming up. Isnʼt that cheating?!”

At the same time, Macao suddenly realized something. He still remembered his bet with Makarov!

He, Macao, had bet nearly two hundred thousand J that Lucy would be the first one eliminated. If Lucy was teamed up with Acnologia, wouldnʼt all that two hundred thousand J go straight into the pockets of that shameless old bastard Makarov?!

”President Makarov, you already knew that Lucyʼs teammate was Acnologia, didnʼt you?”

”Arenʼt you setting us up?!”

”Give us our money back! Give us our money back! Give us our money back!!”

After confirming that Lucyʼs teammate was the legendary ʼBlack Dragon King,ʼ all the gamblers in the guild began shouting for Makarov to return their money.

”Return your money? Returning it isnʼt possible. It will never be possible~”

”You guys, could you at least have some backbone?”

”You had the guts to gamble, so have the guts to accept losing! If you couldnʼt afford to lose, you shouldnʼt have gambled in the first place! Now that youʼve lost, all you do is whine and complain. How boring…”

Makarov picked his nose while arrogantly speaking to the gamblers inside the guild.

”This guy is so damn punchable!”

”If we werenʼt weaker than him, heʼd already be dead!”

The gamblers inside the guild clenched their fists while looking at the arrogant Makarov on the platform and silently cursed him.

”So, Freed, do you understand now?”

”Itʼs impossible for anyone to make my grandfather suffer a loss. Absolutely impossible!”

At the same time, Laxus folded his arms in front of his chest and spoke softly to Freed beside him.

”I understand. As expected of Laxus…”

Freed clenched his fists after hearing Laxusʼs words. He had comprehended the truth once again.

”So, what does this have to do with Laxus?”

Bickslow and Evergreen, standing behind Freed, looked completely bewildered. Although the two of them were also die-hard fans of Laxus, there was still a huge gap between them and Freed in terms of devotion.

Meanwhile, Lucy was also completely dumbfounded…

”No, wait…”

”Youʼre saying that my teammate is that legendary Black Dragon, Lord Acnologia, recorded in the Apocalypse?!”

Lucy was stunned. Suddenly, she felt as though she had gone from being an oppressed peasant to becoming the master of the land.

At the same time, Lucy felt a little smug…

This was the happiest day Lucy had experienced since she had been selected to participate in Fairy Tailʼs X784 S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!

”Hehe, who said I didnʼt have a teammate? My teammate is super strong…”
