Fairy Tail Collapsing Stars Chapter 276

“Sigh…”
Evan looked helplessly at the weeping Kurnugi. After all, Kurnugi was his disciple; he couldn’t just stand by and watch him get beaten without doing anything. Even if the Moon Dragon God wanted to fight Kurnugi, it had to be after some negotiation! Evan exerted a little force with his arm and pulled Kurnugi back, rescuing him from Selene’s grasp.
“Huh?!”
Selene, the Moon Dragon God, was momentarily stunned. It was the first time she had encountered a human stronger than her. Even though her human form was much weaker than her dragon form, it was still surprising.
“Although I don’t intend to interfere with your personal matters, Selene-senpai, he is my disciple. Until we reach an agreement, please be merciful and let him go.”
Evan made it clear: as long as Selene and he reached a desired agreement, Kurnugi could serve as a bond between them, allowing Selene to educate him as she saw fit.
“You’ve done many outrageous things, boy~”
Selene’s eyes narrowed as she reminded Evan not to overstep his bounds.
“Anyway, Selene-senpai, don’t you want to have a discussion with us?”
Evan held Kurnugi protectively, almost using him as a shield.
“Master…”
At this moment, Kurnugi was deeply moved, looking at Evan. His good master had stood up to his invincible mother for his sake, which touched him immensely. Kurnugi dared not move, as he was caught between his caring mother, Selene, and his protective master, Evan.
“You all just want the magic power of this world, don’t you?!”
Selene seemed to know what Evan and his companions desired, looking at Evan with a calm expression.
“Yes.”
Evan nodded honestly.
“This world’s magic power is of no use to me. I don’t mind giving it to you, but what benefits do I get in return?”
Selene asked with an arrogant posture, looking down at Evan.
“That’s true, let me think…”
Evan frowned, pondering.
“Selene-senpai, actually, by using the Trans-Spatial Magic Soul to balance the magic power between the worlds of Elentear and Edolas, we can benefit Elentear as well…”
“After all, Elentear’s magic power is nearing its limit. If this continues, Elentear will be destroyed by the excess magic power!”
“In other words, by transferring the excess magic power from Elentear to Edolas, not only will Edolas be revitalized, but Elentear will also avoid the destruction caused by excessive magic power. This benefits both worlds greatly…”
Before Evan could speak, Mystogan, the prince of Edolas, explained to Selene the benefits of the Trans-Spatial Magic Soul.
“…”
With Mystogan’s words, both Evan and Selene fell silent…
“Uh…”
Mystogan was puzzled, unsure what he had said wrong.
“So, what does this have to do with me?!”
While Mystogan was confused, Selene asked him directly.
“Huh?”
Mystogan was stunned by Selene’s words.
“Whether this world is destroyed by excessive magic power or Edolas loses its magic, what does it have to do with me, Selene?!”
“You, human boy, are you mistaken? I asked what benefits I would get if you took the magic from Elentear, not what benefits Elentear would get. The fate of these two worlds is just a natural result of their evolution…”
Selene stood before Mystogan, looking down at him as she spoke.
“This…”
Mystogan’s face changed dramatically as he finally understood Selene’s point, feeling shaken.
“…”
Evan silently watched, saying nothing. This was the fundamental difference between Selene, a dragon, and Mystogan, a human prince of Edolas.
One prioritized the individual, the other the collective. Neither side was right or wrong; they just couldn’t understand each other.
“So, Selene-senpai, what do you want us to do for you?”
After thinking for a while without an answer, Evan looked at Selene and asked.
“What do I want you to do?!”
“Haha, this is interesting…”
“If I said I want you to help me eliminate all the Dragon Gods except myself, can you do that?”
Selene smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with a hint of ferocity aimed not at Evan but at the other Dragon Gods.
“Reason…”
Evan’s expression changed, realizing Selene’s true motive. If she wanted to eliminate the other Dragon Gods, did that mean one of the Five Dragon Gods was siding with humanity?
“No particular reason, just the thought of other beings equal to me in this world annoys me!”
“They’re just too annoying…”
“So, I want to eliminate them! Unfortunately, our powers are equal. I can’t do it alone, so I need your help…”
Selene smiled beautifully as she explained her intentions to Evan.
“Is that so?”
Evan frowned. Selene didn’t seem to be lying, but he felt she was hiding something…
In other words, Selene hadn’t revealed her true reason for wanting to eliminate the Dragon Gods.
“Alright, we’ll help you eliminate the other Dragon Gods, but we need some preparation time…”
“Before that, I hope you won’t stop Edolas from extracting magic from Elentear. Is that acceptable to you?”
Evan asked after a moment of thought.
“It’s acceptable…”
“But there’s a condition, boy.”
“I need to know if you have the power to deal with the Dragon Gods.”
“If you don’t have the power to face the Dragon Gods, then our agreement is meaningless.”
Selene was more interested in whether these people could help her eliminate the other Dragon Gods than in Elentear’s magic power.
“I don’t have the power to deal with the Dragon Gods now…”
“But I believe that in the near future, I will obtain power surpassing even the Dragon Gods…”
Evan frowned. He didn’t have the means to deal with the Dragon Gods now, but given some time, he believed he could grow to their level, even surpassing Acnologia and reaching the level of gods.
“Then let me see your potential!”
Selene’s battle spirit surged as she listened to Evan.
“Looks like we have to fight.”
Evan’s brows furrowed. He thought fighting Selene might be beneficial, letting him gauge how far he was from the level of a Dragon God.
“Then let’s fight!”
Evan said, going all out!
In an instant, his body was covered in green dragon scales, horns grew from his head, a blue dragon tail sprouted, and his limbs were covered in transparent scales…
His body was wrapped in the blazing clouds of awakening…
At this moment, Evan looked more like a Dragon God than Selene did.
“You’re a Dragon Slayer, aren’t you?”
Selene’s face turned cold as she looked at Evan in his beastly awakened form.
“Kurnugi, take Natsu, Mystogan, and those three girls and leave…”
Evan tossed Kurnugi into the air.
“Yes, Master!”
Kurnugi transformed into a massive dragon, spreading his wings and landing before Mystogan and the others.
“A dragon?!”
Mystogan was shocked. He never expected the unremarkable Kurnugi to be a giant dragon. Although he had guessed Kurnugi’s identity from the conversation between Selene and Kurnugi, seeing it was still shocking.
“Alright, everyone get on. We can’t watch the upcoming battle…”
Kurnugi urged Mystogan and the others to climb onto his back.
“Alright…”
Mystogan nodded, helping Natsu and the three weakened girls onto Kurnugi’s back.
“Sorry…”
Mystogan apologized to Byro as he prepared to lift her.
Just as Mystogan was about to touch Byro…
The power within the three Moon Beauties suddenly revived, their terrifying power causing Mystogan to tremble…
“You three, leave with Kurnugi…”
Selene commanded the Moon Beauties coldly.
“Yes, Lady Selene!”
The Moon Beauties kneeled before Selene and then swiftly headed into the forest.
“Uh…”
Mystogan, who had been about to help, felt awkward but quickly ran to Kurnugi.
“Boom!”
The moment Mystogan grabbed Kurnugi’s tail, Kurnugi flapped his wings and soared into the sky…
Leaving only Evan and Selene on the ground.
“Be careful…”
Selene smiled at Evan, her beautiful face flashing with a hint of fierceness.
“…”
Evan didn’t speak but remained vigilant, watching Selene carefully.
“Moonlight Blaze!!”
Selene pointed to the sky, and endless moonlight shone down on Evan, transforming into countless flames…
“Boom!!”
The white flames engulfed Evan, their terrifying heat causing him immense pain, almost burning his skin…
Evan felt the intense heat, sweat dripping from his forehead.
“Is that all?!”
Evan was puzzled. Selene’s attack was much weaker than he had imagined. He had expected to be overwhelmed, but the flames only caused him pain. This level wasn’t even worth mentioning.
“Maybe Selene held back? In that case, I must go all out…”
“Gasp~”
With this thought, Evan opened his mouth wide and inhaled! Instantly, the white flames around him were sucked into his mouth.
“What?”
Selene was surprised to see Evan devour the flames.
“Roar of the Azure Dragon·Flame!!”
After swallowing Selene’s flames, Evan combined them with his Azure Dragon’s breath and Dragon Slayer’s magic, attacking Selene.
“Boom!!”
The terrifying heatwave engulfed Selene, burning through the forest and mountains…
Fortunately, Evan had already sensed no one ahead…
Otherwise, no one could have withstood Evan’s full-power roar…
“Uh…”
As the flames dissipated, a slightly battered Selene appeared in the air. Her hat with the moon emblem was burned away, and her clothes were in tatters, barely covering her.
“Fist of the Azure Dragon!”
Evan didn’t relax, flashing before Selene and attacking with his lightning-covered arm.
“Fist of the Moon Dragon!”
Selene, cautious after her previous loss, clashed with Evan.
“Boom!”
As their fists collided, the shockwave flattened the surrounding forest…
Selene was the one sent flying…
Selene was overpowered and crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
“Moon Shadow Blade!”
Lying in the crater, Selene’s body was covered in dirt, but she calmly aimed at Evan and released her magic.
Countless blades made of moonlight attacked Evan.
“Wind Blade!”
Evan countered with his own blade attack, the blades made of different energy types.
“Boom!”
The collision caused an explosion.
“Boom!”
Taking advantage of the explosion, Evan launched himself into the air, like an arrow aimed at Selene.
“Dragon Slayer Secret Art·Azure Dragon Slicing Sky Sword!”
Evan transformed himself into a weapon, descending from the sky and striking Selene’s abdomen…
“Uh…”
Selene felt Evan’s terrifying power, her pupils trembling,
“Boom!!”
The impact caused a massive earthquake within a ten-kilometer radius!!
“Phew…”
Deep underground, Evan pinned Selene down, holding her slender arms tightly.
“Selene-senpai, do you think my strength is sufficient?”
Sweat dripping from his forehead, Evan asked as he looked at Selene beneath him.
“Boy, interesting. Looks like I need to get serious~”
As Evan pinned her down, Selene smiled, revealing a stunningly beautiful smile…
Then…
“Boom!”
Evan was launched into the sky, and nine black shadows, indistinguishable as tails or hair, shot up from the dark hole created by Evan!
“Roar~”
With a low growl, a mysterious, beautiful white fox appeared in the moonlight.
The white fox was magnificent, waving its nine tails, standing before Evan.
Unlike the white fox, her white fur hid a strong, scaled body!
Undoubtedly, this was a powerful dragon!! Evan knew the beautiful white fox was Selene in her dragon form. In this form, she was vastly stronger than in her human form, making Evan anxious!
“Boy! Feel the difference in our power~”
The white fox smiled beautifully, then swiftly approached Evan faster than he could react.
“Moon Shadow Palm!!”
Selene attacked Evan with lightning speed in her dragon form, using her magic.
In an instant, Evan was struck down from the sky…
“No escape…”
Falling towards the ground, Evan’s eyes rolled back. He had foreseen Selene’s attack but couldn’t avoid it; the gap in their power was too vast!
“It’s over, boy!”
As Evan was knocked out by Selene’s blow, the beautiful white fox stood in the air, speaking calmly.
However, Selene didn’t notice Evan’s rapid recovery!
