Chapter 454 Welcome to the Future World
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, a colossal creature covered in gray hexagonal dragon scales slowly emerged from the Gate of Eclipse.
A dark shadow loomed over the door, and the height of the dragon claw alone was enough to overshadow all the soldiers present!
The once spacious underground space suddenly felt cramped, and the terrifying aura emanating from the colossal object surged like a raging storm, constantly assaulting the soldiers' fragile nerves.
Almost out of human instinct, terror and fear spread throughout their bodies, and their hard-won fighting will and their awareness of going back four hundred years were crushed in an instant!
"How...how could this be—"
Princess Emerald was so frightened that her face turned pale, her mind went blank for a moment, and she stood there dumbfounded.
"Isn't the Eclipse Gate a tool for traveling through time and space?"
Knight Commander Arcadios managed to maintain a semblance of composure, drawing his longsword to shield the Emerald Guild behind him, muttering, "Why, why are dragons appearing from over there—"
The reasoning behind it is not difficult to understand, but at this moment, he simply doesn't have the extra mental energy to think about so many things.
At that moment, the giant dragon on the other side had already made its move.
The dragon's raised claw gently slammed down, immediately unleashing a terrifying, tearing shockwave.
The impact traveled forward along the direction of the impact, shattering the hard stone floor like bubbles in its path, and finally, with a loud "boom," it exploded violently on the side stone wall.
As time flew and dust rose, the dragon seemed to release its excitement at arriving in the future world, or perhaps it wanted to give the ants in front of it a warning. After stabilizing itself, the dragon lowered its head and slowly opened its abyssal maw full of fangs.
Roar! !
A casual roar without any magical power is as powerful as a full-force attack from an ordinary mage.
The erupting hurricane, carrying a stench, howled out and scattered the knights guarding the area. They crashed heavily against the distant stone wall, coughing up blood and losing their ability to fight on the spot!
The power of a dragon is to annihilate an entire well-equipped elite army with a mere gesture!
Arcadios, barely managing to withstand the roar, broke out in a cold sweat, his heart filled with horror.
"What...what have I done?!"
Princess Emerald behind her was stiff all over, her voice trembling noticeably. She never expected that the eclipse plan she had been preparing for so long would lead to this situation.
The appearance of this monster will definitely bring unimaginable devastation to Crocus and even the entire Kingdom of Fiore!
What made her even more desperate was that another enormous creature was faintly visible on the other side of the Eclipse Gate.
Clearly, there wasn't just one dragon four hundred years ago, but thousands upon thousands!
The only area in the entire underground space unaffected by the impact was beneath the phantom of the Colossus, imbued with a sacred aura.
"Wow, what terrifying destructive power!" The two Lucys instinctively shrank behind Chase, protecting him tightly in front of them.
Although I was mentally prepared and had even fought Acnologia on Tenrou Island, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous when I actually had to face this kind of monster head-on.
That's a dragon! A terrifying monster that can destroy a town with a single breath!
If even they reacted this way, then Yukino Mirai, who had absolutely no idea what was going on, was even more clueless.
"It's all my fault, I've brought such misfortune upon everyone—"
The little girl stood frozen in place, tears of self-blame and regret glistening deep in her beautiful eyes.
Having lived in the shadow of "not being needed" for many years, her first reaction was to take the blame.
Mira gently held her trembling hands: "No, this is something we were prepared to do from the beginning."
"Chase, that guy is leaving!" Erza reminded him seriously.
Following her gaze, they saw that the giant dragon in front of them seemed to have no intention of lingering any longer. Instead, it raised its head to look at the ceiling of the underground space and began to flap its wings.
No living thing likes to stay in a strange, enclosed, dark space.
It wants to break through the soil, fly into the vast sky, and then slowly adapt to and dominate this magical future world!
"Don't worry, it was expected."
Chase wasn't in a hurry to make a move, and confidently smiled, "It can't escape this town."
Just like in the original story, the first dragon to pass through the Eclipse Gate was the Earth Mother Dragon Mathergraia.
That is, the dragon that Rogue will ride in the future, with indestructible scales, capable of "producing" a large number of small dragon beasts from the holes in its abdomen.
Since there is no such thing as "Eclipse Project II" in this world, there is no need to move the Eclipse Gate outside. Therefore, Mathergraia's instinctive choice to go to the surface was entirely within his prediction.
There were already people guarding outside.
If Chase were to travel alone to the world four hundred years ago, he could now directly enter the Eclipse Gate—he has that much confidence, given that he holds two divine cards in his hand.
However, since we have decided to take our partners along for training and growth, we have to consider safety issues.
Therefore, he planned to start with Mathergraia to gather more information about four hundred years ago, as well as intelligence on the power, magic, and stance of the dragons on the other side of the Eclipse Gate, before formulating a plan of action!
boom!!
In the brief exchange, a storm swept across the area, and rocks exploded with a deafening roar.
With her unbelievable physical strength, Mathergraia easily broke through the soil and flew straight into the vast night sky above.
Moonlight shone down through the huge hole, illuminating the desolate scene.
At the same time, the ground shook again, and half of the second dragon's body had passed through the Eclipse Gate!
It was a dragon whose back was covered with purple spots, and whose head had fin-like structures on the sides and top: Anka, the Sea Dragon.
Anka opened his blood-red maw slightly, greedily inhaling the magical air of the future world.
Just as I was about to fly away from this place like Mathergraia, a huge, deep blue shadow suddenly entered my field of vision.
A giant hand, formed from the power of the God-Slaying Demon, reached out and firmly pressed down on its head.
This incredibly rich, sacred aura poured down, causing Anka's vertical pupils to contract sharply.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
With the giant warrior's phantom head in front of him, Chase's divine magic surged wildly, forcefully pressing the massive, unshakeable dragon body back into the Eclipse Gate.
Without giving it any time to react, the Colossus phantom stretched out its arms and pressed them forcefully against the two open doors of the Eclipse Gate, one on the left and one on the right.
boom!
The gate to the eclipse was violently closed, and the blinding white light immediately dissipated.
This is clearly not enough, as the dragon on the other side can open it in the same way. Therefore, it is also necessary to pull down the switch on the base of the Eclipse Gate to "lock" the Eclipse Gate.
Without Chess even lifting a finger, Erza and Mira had already completed their actions at the same time that Anka, the Sea Dragon, was forced back down.
The two women stood on the base and waved to him with smiles.
"Hahaha, as expected of my girlfriends, they are really super reliable!" Chase laughed heartily.
The words "girlfriends" left Mira and Erza somewhat flustered, and blushes quickly spread across their pretty faces.
Hey, can't you watch your surroundings a little when you talk? Princess Emerald and her guards are right there!
Boom!!
The sudden loud noise overhead interrupted the two girls' blushing faces and the unspoken complaints from the two Lucys.
On the ground, the central square directly in front of the Lantern Palace was filled with smoke and dust, and the ground cracked open from the impact of the huge object.
Roar! !
The dragon's roar unleashed a chaotic storm that dispersed the thick smoke, revealing the figure of a giant dragon lying prostrate on the ground.
The Earth Mother Dragon Mathergraia bared her teeth, and two figures hovering in mid-air were reflected in the depths of her furious dragon eyes.
"What a tough-skinned lizard! It took a direct hit from my master and me with our Black Explosion Magic, and it doesn't even look a scratch!"
Her pink robes fluttered in the wind, and the dark mage girl blinked her beautiful eyes, unable to resist making a sigh.
"As expected, the dragons in this world all possess considerable magic resistance," the Dark Mage analyzed expressionlessly.
"How dare you offend the majesty of a dragon, you damned ants—" Mathergraia shook his head, his gaze terrifyingly gloomy.
It did not launch an attack immediately, its mind was not at peace: it was clearly not the dragon-slaying magic taught to humans by those stupid sects, but the magic just now could make it feel pain!
This would be absolutely impossible for people living in their own time!
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, the deep blue giant shadow I saw when I walked out of the Eclipse Gate was also quite extraordinary.
And more importantly—
Why didn't the other dragons come along?!
Matheria felt inexplicably uneasy, and cautiously glanced around at the completely unfamiliar surroundings.
Just as it flapped its dragon wings, preparing to return to the underground space to check the situation, a sudden sound of footsteps came from the street ahead.
Moonlight streamed down, and the biting wind made the deep blue cloak flutter loudly.
Chase slowly emerged from the shadows of the building and stopped in front of the enormous Mathergraia.
"Welcome to the future world, lone flying lizard."
boom!!
The moment the words left his mouth, a magical storm exploded, and a dark golden light flashed by.
Before Mathergraia could react, the giant sealed creature's right arm struck its cheekbone like a meteorite!
