Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook violently as massive vines erupted from the earth. Acnologia ignored them, charging towards Mard Geer.
Mard Geer's fingers twitched, and the earth beneath Acnologia suddenly churned. "Underworld Tree!"
The surrounding vines suddenly animated, weaving together to form a dense, impenetrable barrier around Acnologia. The Underworld Tree have incredible hardness and resilience, combined with a powerful constricting force. Even a monster would be crushed to a pulp if trapped within.
Boom!!
The Underworld Tree surrounding Acnologia suddenly exploded from the inside, collapsing into a pile of broken vines. Acnologia emerged, unscathed.
Mard Geer stared at Acnologia. "This kind of low-level curse is useless against Acnologia."
Acnologia frowned. This opponent was clearly skilled, able to use powerful magic with ease.
He was also deliberately keeping his distance, making him a troublesome opponent, like a buzzing fly. Powerful mages, confident in their skills, often chose to fight head-on. But this one was different. He was experienced, well-versed in combat, and clearly knew how to drag out a fight.
Boom!
Acnologia stomped his foot, rapidly dashing towards Mard Geer.
"White Light Blades!" Several scale-like light blades shot towards Acnologia. He didn't slow down, tanking the attacks head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light blades exploded around Acnologia's body, the shattered fragments bouncing off his scales.
"White Light Orb!"
Mard Geer's fingers danced, and a large sphere of light appeared, hurtling towards Acnologia, leaving him no room to dodge. He clenched his fist, a powerful aura of magical pressure emanating from him.
Boom!
Mard Geer's magic collided with Acnologia's fist, creating a massive explosion that shook the entire floating island of Tartaros.
"Thorns!" Taking advantage of the explosion, Mard Geer quickly cast another spell. Several thin, thorny vines erupted from the ground beneath Acnologia.
"Hmph!"
Acnologia snorted, releasing a burst of magical power.
The ground beneath him, including the thorny vines, was instantly shattered. "You demons of the Book of Zeref are too weak!!"
Whoosh!
Acnologia tightened his fist, then punched towards Mard Geer. The space before his fist fractured, revealing a web of cracks.
"Underworld Tree!"
Mard Geer's expression changed drastically. He quickly summoned a massive tree before him for defense.
Crack! Crack!
The Underworld Tree, conjured by Mard Geer's magic, instantly shattered. The shockwave struck him, and he let out a grunt as he was pushed back, as if struck by a giant hammer.
He steadied himself, only to find that Acnologia had already closed the distance, appearing right before him.
"White Snake!"
A white, snake-like beam of light shot from Mard Geer's hand, heading straight for Acnologia.
He manipulated the white snake, directing it towards Acnologia, who responded by kicking towards Mard Geer.
Mard Geer quickly demonified and dodged, the shockwave from Acnologia's kick hitting him.
"Aaaahhh!" Mard Geer screamed, sent flying by the force of the blow.
He crashed through several walls of the Tartaros Guild Headquarters.
He quickly flapped his wings, emerging from the wreckage, wiping the blood from his mouth. Was this the power of the Black Dragon King?
He had to keep his distance, no matter what.
"White Light Orb!"
Mard Geer, ever the experienced fighter, immediately launched another attack at Acnologia. Though he had used these curses before, they were still effective. Before Acnologia could attack, the White Light Orb suddenly exploded.
Acnologia was pushed back by the force of the blast. They had created some distance between them. Acnologia smashed the ground and charged towards Mard Geer again.
"Struggling in vain..."
"I told you, from the moment I set foot on this island, your fate was sealed!"
Acnologia's power surged. The earth, the air, space itself, all began to tremble violently. An immense, alarming pressure descended upon Mard Geer.
Mard Geer's expression turned serious. He could feel it now, the overwhelming power emanating from Acnologia. It was as if the man could make the entire world tremble.
"No, I don't believe it… I'll show you my strongest curse. This is the ultimate curse created to Kill Zeref…"
Massive amounts of dark, purple mist coiled around Acnologia, interspersed with ghostly figures. "Descend into the underworld!"
"Memento Mori!"
A horrifying shockwave struck Acnologia. "To kill Zeref who has immortality, one must destroy the very concept of life and death. You have a similar immortal body. This is the perfect attack to use against you!"
"This curse will erase the target from existence, neither living nor dead!"
A magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Acnologia's feet, as if a gate between the world of the living and the underworld had been opened. Black and purple mist poured out from the circle.
Countless ghostly figures emerged from the mist, lunging at Acnologia, trying to tear him apart. There were so many that there was nowhere to even stand, and even the air was thick with them.
The explosion completely engulfed Acnologia. "No matter how powerful you are, you can't survive this!"
After a while, the smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated. Acnologia's figure reappeared, seemingly unharmed.
"How... My ultimate curse, Memento Mori, is perfect. It can't fail!"
Acnologia looked at Mard Geer coldly. "You overestimate yourself and underestimate me. Our life essence is on a completely different level, and so is our power. Besides, who told you that killing Zeref would allow you to kill me?"
"It's time to put an end to Tartaros." Acnologia raised his fist, aiming downwards at Mard Geer.
Crack! Crack!
The space a dozen meters before Acnologia's fist fractured, revealing a web of cracks.
"Giant Vines!"
As Acnologia gathered his power, Mard Geer quickly summoned a wall of giant, thorny vines to defend himself. The vines intertwined, forming a thick, shell-like barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The horrible shockwave finally erupted. The ground shook violently. The giant vines created by Mard Geer were instantly shattered, one after another.
Mard Geer could only watch helplessly as his defenses crumbled. He quickly flapped his wings, trying to escape.
But in an instant, Acnologia caught up to him, appearing before him as if they were moving in tandem.
"Running away? A wise decision. But trying to escape from me is futile!"
Mard Geer was afraid. He raised his hand, attacking Acnologia, who in turn grabbed his fist and slammed him into the ground.
"Aaaahhh!"
Mard Geer screamed in agony. Acnologia appeared beside him, his right hand gripping the Underworld King's neck. Mard Geer was severely injured, unable to believe what was happening.
So this the power of the Dragon King Acnologia.. Perhaps he could truly kill Zeref.
Thinking this, Mard Geer felt a sense of relief. But Acnologia had no intention of letting Mard Geer's thoughts wander. He had a simple goal: to kill him and locate Zeref.
"Cough…"
Mard Geer had reverted to his human form, looking utterly defeated. His body was a wreck, barely held together.
As he devoured the souls of the nine demons, his connection to Zeref grew stronger. Acnologia tightened his grip, lifting Mard Geer into the air.
He opened his jaws, aiming at the Underworld King, his magical power rapidly gathering at the front of his mouth.
The Black Dragon's Roar.
Black light shot towards the sky, engulfing Mard Geer and completely piercing the heavens!
It even tore through the cloud layer, creating a massive hole. The sunlight shone through, bright and intense, illuminating the form of the Dragon King, his dark wings gleaming. He looked like a god of war.
"Aaaahhh!"
Mard Geer screamed in agony. After a while, the light subsided, and so did Mard Geer's body. The city dozens of miles away felt the tremors, causing many to panic before it finally subsided.
"An earthquake?"
"Now, Where is Zeref… and that damn Demon?"
Having dealt with Mard Geer, Acnologia roared madly, sending the people dozens of miles away trembling in fear.
As he devoured the souls, he finally sensed Zeref's location.
"Zeref… I'm coming…"
