Takeshi and Erza's expressions changed drastically upon hearing that the person in front of them was a dragon.
Alazam was the target of their S-Class Quest, now SS-Class Quest.
"How... how could this be... Shouldn't he still be sealed? Why is he out?!"
Reno was in a panic. According to his plan, after this assembly, he would organize the kingdom's experts to hunt down this Dragon, but all of that was based on the premise that the Dragon had not yet broken the seal and his strength was greatly diminished.
Now, he had actually broken free from the seal and seemed to have been out for some time. If his strength had fully recovered, it would be a catastrophe for the Kingdom of Sobelia.
"Magic Dragon? Alazam?"
At this moment, almost all the swordsmen below the city wall were somewhat confused.
They didn't know the history between Alazam and this kingdom, and weren't Dragons mythical creatures?
Reno stared intently at the purple-haired youth, his expression grave, and explained, "Magic Dragon Alazam, a Dragon from 400 years ago. He committed many evil deeds and was later sealed by Sword Saint Noah. I never thought he would break free from the seal now."
"A Dragon?!"
Everyone was startled by Reno's words and nervously looked at the purple-haired youth.
Alazam raised an eyebrow and waved a finger back and forth. "No, you said one thing wrong. I wasn't sealed by mere humans, don't flatter yourselves. I was sealed by the Seal Dragon, Selis. That human merely lent a hand."
Reno gritted his teeth and said, "Alazam, since a Dragon sealed you, it should have nothing to do with us. Sword Saint Noah has been dead for hundreds of years, you have no chance to take revenge on him."
If before he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, now he was thinking about how to avoid conflict.
"You're right. I can't take revenge on that guy, but taking revenge on his country is still fine, isn't it?" Alazam had a playful expression.
"Besides, I love eating humans."
He licked his lips, his eerie gaze sweeping over everyone. That kind of gaze wasn't looking at people, but at delicious food.
Everyone immediately felt a chill and involuntarily shivered.
"Judgment of Light!!!"
Arthur raised his longsword with both hands, powerful magic power emanating from his body and converging towards the longsword, forming a massive golden light sword.
"Magic Dragon! Die!!!"
Arthur roared and swung the sword in his hand down at Alazam with all his might.
Alazam stood still, unmoving. The massive light sword struck his head.
Boom!
Crack!
Arthur's attack didn't even leave a mark on the skin on Alazam's head. Instead, the light sword seemed to have hit something hard, and cracks appeared.
Then—
Bang!
The massive light sword shattered.
Arthur's pupils constricted, his expression filled with disbelief. "What?!"
Everyone around was also in disbelief.
"He actually withstood Arthur's ultimate skill with his head?!"
Alazam bared his teeth and looked at Arthur playfully. "Human, what are you doing?"
Crackle!
Clay was surrounded by dazzling lightning.
Thunderclap Flash!
Boom!
Clay burst out with his fastest speed, his blade slashing towards Alazam's neck.
Crack!
Alazam still didn't move, but the sword in Clay's hand broke.
Clay also had a look of disbelief.
Re-equip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!!
Blumenblatt!
Erza moved quickly, multiple longswords continuously shooting towards Alazam.
Boom... Boom...
The powerful impact stirred up a large amount of smoke.
"How is it?"
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the smoke.
Soon, the smoke dispersed, and Alazam still stood there, unharmed.
Clap! Clap!
Alazam clapped his hands. "Good. Human magic is still so interesting. Your struggling efforts excite me."
"Th-this... how is this possible?!"
"Why are the attacks of several Nine-Star Swordsmen ineffective against him?!"
Everyone was terrified at this moment. Even the strongest ultimate moves of Nine-Star Swordsmen were ineffective. How could this be?
Reno's voice rang out. "Because he is a Dragon. Dragons are born with impenetrable bodies and extremely strong resistance to human magic. Human magic can hardly harm Dragons, which is why in ancient times, any Dragon could easily destroy a country."
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Reno had appeared below the city wall at some point and was walking towards them.
Alazam said, "Oh? You know quite a lot."
Reno said, "Alazam, Sword Saint Noah is an ancient person from 400 years ago. His grievances with you have passed. The people of today have no grievances with you. Please be lenient."
Alazam bared his teeth and chuckled. "It seems you still haven't grasped the main point. I love eating people, and humans are incredibly delicious."
Clang!
Reno drew his longsword, and flames immediately ignited on the blade. "Alazam, if you don't retreat, then I will fight you even if it costs me my life. Even if I can't slay you, I will gravely injure you."
Alazam paused when he saw the sword in Reno's hand. Then he threw his head back and burst into boisterous laughter. "Hahahahaha! Hahahaha!"
Reno asked with a gloomy expression, "What are you laughing at?!"
Alazam laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Hahaha... I'm laughing at you, haha! Do you think a sword made from a dragon lacrima can contend with a Dragon?"
"Naive. How incredibly naive. Hahaha!"
Alazam mercilessly mocked Reno, "Let alone a sword made from a dragon lacrima, even if a true Dragon were to appear, what could it do to me?!"
Reno was not one to be intimidated. Since peaceful negotiation was ineffective, then he only had one option: to fight.
"Die!!!"
He stomped his foot and, holding his longsword, slashed towards Alazam.
Alazam simply raised his hand casually.
Slap!
The longsword struck his palm, which remained unharmed.
"What?!"
"See. Besides a Dragon Slayer Mage who has trained Dragon Slayer Magic to an extremely high level, or an intermediate or upper-level Dragon that can pose a threat to me, humans like you, no matter how many, cannot harm me."
Crack!
Alazam clenched his hand, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which Reno had spent a fortune to forge, shattered instantly.
"How could this be?!"
Reno was in disbelief. He hadn't expected his costly Dragon-Slaying Sword to be nothing but a joke in the eyes of a true Dragon.
Slap!
Alazam grabbed Reno's neck with his hand.
"Release His Majesty!"
Everyone, seeing Alazam about to attack Reno, immediately rushed forward to stop him.
In response, Alazam casually waved his hand, and a massive claw mark slash swept across.
All the people who had rushed forward were sent flying. With just one attack, more than half of them lost their fighting capability.
Even Erza, Arthur, Clay, and the other Nine-Star swordsmen were all gravely injured and no longer had the strength to fight.
"Damn it!"
Takeshi's expression was very grim. He hadn't expected this Dragon to have broken its seal.
At this point, having already gone through the monster war, almost everyone was without the strength to fight. Even if they had it, facing a Dragon, no matter how many people were sent, it would be futile.
Now was the time for him to make a decision.
He had two gold character cards. As long as he recycled one of them, the provided magic power should significantly increase his strength.
But which one to give up?
In terms of energy level alone, Ulquiorra was far stronger than Yoriichi, but only those who had seen Yoriichi firsthand knew how terrifying this man was.
Most importantly, he was extremely reluctant to give up either of them, these were gold cards.
But there was no time left. He had to decide. If the King died, his losses would be even greater.
Just as Takeshi was about to click 'Recycle'—
A system notification appeared in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that Host has been transmigrated for one month. Granting one gacha chance!]
[Proceed with gacha?]
Takeshi was stunned, then quickly realized it was the system's monthly gacha spin.
'Spin!'
Although he didn't have Mirajane's blessing right now, the current situation didn't allow him to think that much.
The gacha animation appeared on the system panel and a dazzling purple star fell from the sky.
Takeshi's eyes widened, staring at the system panel in disbelief. "P-p-purple?!"
"It's purple?!"
