It was like the devouring motion when Natsu eats flames.
But the eruption was too fast, and he didn't have time to consume it all.
As for the effect of the magic, a large area of dragon scales on the Black Dragon cracked open, blood seeping out.
Rhode looked at the various halos on himself, it was hard to judge if this was really the effect of magic.
Moreover, that move just now... it felt a bit strange when released, the magic power consumption wasn't as intense as expected.
"Roar!!!"
The Black Dragon didn't give everyone much time to think, opening its mouth for an angry roar.
Such a close-range roar was akin to an attack of sound magic combined with wind magic.
Everyone covered their ears, nearly being blown over.
Even the Fairy Radiance had no effect, and everyone was a bit confused at this moment, wondering what kind of magic could defeat such an enemy.
"It's not over yet! Let's try again!" Natsu charged forward, "Use the Dragon Slayer's Secret Art!"
Laxus, Gajeel, and Wendy stepped forward together, each unleashing their secret techniques.
Rhode provided them with red, blue, and purple halos while also preparing for the next strike.
"Shattering Light: Sky Drill!"
"Karma Demon Iron Divine Sword!"
"Thunder Roar!"
"Red Lotus Flame Blade!"
Four Dragon Slayer Mages aimed their secret arts at the Black Dragon's head.
An extremely powerful high-pressure wind column, an ultrasharp extra-long iron sword, incredibly powerful golden thunderbolt, and a destructively powerful flame blade, all four arrived simultaneously.
But the Black Dragon merely opened its mouth, swallowing all the wind, thunder, and fire into its belly, even biting and chewing the descending iron sword into fragments.
It swung its head forcefully, flinging the nearby attacking Natsu and Laxus away.
The Black Dragon seemed tired of it all, kicking off with its hind legs and soaring into the air.
If it took to the skies and let out another roar, it would be all over!
Rhode, with blood boiling, cared no more for magic power, shouting as if gambling his life: "Summoning, Throat of Dishonor!"
A purple Big Spider descended, hooking its front leg onto the Black Dragon's left wing, causing its body to tilt and crash to the ground.
"Hiss!!" Seizing the opportunity, the Big Spider increased its strength, its claw piercing through the weak spot on the Black Dragon's wing and pinning it to the ground.
"Roar!" Blood flowed from the wound, the Black Dragon let out a cry of pain, biting down on the spider's right front leg.
The Big Spider was also in pain, its left front leg raised high, ready to strike the Black Dragon's rear neck.
The Black Dragon grabbed the spider's leg with its right front paw, preventing it from advancing.
The two began to wrestle, the spider's right front leg trying to enlarge the wound on the Black Dragon's wing, the left front leg attempting to pierce its neck.
The Black Dragon wouldn't let the spider's attack succeed, trying to bite off the spider's leg.
At this critical moment, the Big Spider's figure began to fade, as Rhode collapsed backward.
"Rhode!" Mira quickly caught him.
"Magic power..." Rhode spoke weakly.
Mira was nearly in tears with worry, holding Rhode's hands: "I'll give you my magic power! All of it to you!"
In the Magic Realm, it's rumored that people with a mutual connection can share magic power briefly.
But such instances are extremely rare.
Yet now, Mira's magic power truly flowed into Rhode's body.
The existence of the Big Spider seemed able to continue.
Makarov sharply sensed the anomaly: "Quick! Focus your magic power on them!"
Mira supported Rhode's hand, everyone stretched out their hands, glowing with magic power.
It was this feeling! Rhode seemed to hear everyone's voices calling him in his heart, delivering the belief of not giving up, of certain victory.
The Throat of Dishonor's left front leg pressed down fiercely, about to stab the Black Dragon's neck.
But the Black Dragon, in a rage, swung its head, and with a snap, bit off the Big Spider's right front leg, its wing wound widened horizontally in the process.
The Big Spider let out a painful cry, its left front leg striking down hard, but unfortunately, as the Black Dragon swung its head, its neck shifted, leaving only a bowl-sized blood line on its neck.
The Black Dragon leapt into the air, trying to ascend.
The Big Spider let out a furious roar, spraying a web upwards enveloping the Black Dragon's body.
However, the Black Dragon opened its mouth, blowing out a Dragon Breath. Though it hadn't fully charged, it melted the web and forced the Big Spider to lie prostrate on the ground.
Everyone's expressions were stern, only this Big Spider had the hope to defeat the Black Dragon, but could it fly?
Makarov quickly transformed into a giant, reaching for the Black Dragon's leg, but couldn't catch up.
The Black Dragon soared upwards at lightning speed, inhaling deeply from above.
Even at a distance, everyone could see its chest swelling, a sight not seen even in battles with those three dragons before!
"It's a breath attack!"
"With that level of magic, is it trying to take out the entire island?"
"How could something like that be possible..."
"It's doable." Kildas' response confirmed everyone's worst fears, "If it gets serious, it can do such a thing."
"Sorry, at this height I'm powerless too." The Big Spider's voice came out hoarse.
If it were just a normal climb, it could have used its webbing somehow, but obviously, the opponent wouldn't sit still and let its web hit.
The Throat of Dishonor strived to place its body above everyone, seemingly trying to shield them.
"Is there really no other way..."
"Impossible, we absolutely won't die here!"
