Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars Fairy Tail Collapsing Stars Chapter 288

Fairy Tail Collapsing Stars Chapter 288

The night covered the land, the full moon high in the sky! Time seemed to stop as two figures clashed in the eerie silence of the town’s sky…

“Don’t disturb me!”

Two incredibly beautiful women, rare and peerless, were interfering with each other’s attempts to win the race. These were women whose power could destroy nations, lay waste to continents, and make the stars weep — the pinnacle of combat power in this world.

If there were a mission to stop the two women fighting in the sky, it would undoubtedly be a 100-year mission-level task.

[Mission: Stop the battle between Irene and Selene, defeat them both, and a.s.sert who is Fairy Tail’s strongest. Reward: One 100-Year Mission Medal.]

Evan silently looked at the mission panel in his mind. What kind of crazy mission was this? Defeating them was one thing, but why add the condition of making them submit? This mission seemed like a death sentence!

He decided to abandon the mission.

Evan pretended to be frozen in time, standing still and watching the battle between the two in the sky.

Then…

“Boom!!”

With a loud bang, the darkness covering Magnolia and the time freeze that had halted everyone shattered!

“Mission complete!!”

Two slightly disheveled voices simultaneously reported to Makarov, handing over the apples they had picked.

“Ding~”

The timer stopped as they spoke.

“We have a winner! Unlike before, this year’s Fairy Tail 24-Hour Endurance Race has two champions — both are incredibly beautiful women! They are the record holder, Irene Belserion, and our newest guild member, Selene!”

Makarov loudly announced the winners of this year’s race.

“d.a.m.n it!!”

As Makarov’s words fell, both Irene and Selene crushed their apples into powder in anger, glaring at each other. They couldn’t accept that after such a long and intense battle, neither had emerged victorious.

“Ah, my eyes are so dry~”

Meanwhile, Evan wasn’t in a hurry. He took out eye drops from his pocket and put several drops in each eye.

For others, it had been just an instant…

But for Evan, who had high resistance, he had watched Irene and Selene fight for three whole days and nights! He feared that if they realized he wasn’t affected by the time stop, he’d be dragged into their war. So he stood still for three days and nights without blinking!

“Hey, Irene and Selene, your time was 0.01 seconds. Though it didn’t break Irene’s previous record, it’s still incredibly fast!”

Makarov held the timer, speaking softly to Irene and Selene.

“Hmm?!”

Irene, initially disappointed, brightened up at Makarov’s words.

“Haha, seems like you have to work harder, Selene. With your skills, you’ve got a long way to catch up to me~”

Irene patted Selene’s shoulder, a smug smile on her beautiful face, looking like a mentor guiding a junior.

“d.a.m.n it, it’s all because your time freeze barrier collapsed early. Otherwise, I would’ve at least tied your record…”

Selene blamed Irene for not breaking the record, thinking that if Irene’s time freeze barrier hadn’t collapsed, she could’ve tied the record.

“A victory is a victory, and a loss is a loss…”

“Don’t make excuses for your defeat, Selene.”

Irene smiled smugly at Selene.

“You…”

Selene trembled with anger, clenching her fists.

“Next time, I will defeat you…”

After trembling, Selene spoke with a mixture of anger and shyness.

“I’ll be waiting~”

“No matter how many times you challenge me, I’ll always be there, Selene~”

Irene smiled gently at the blus.h.i.+ng Selene.

“Eh? Why do I feel like Selene is becoming more like Irene?”

Evan shuddered, noticing Selene’s cute and shy demeanor in front of Irene.

“No, it’s not that simple…”

“Irene’s eyes aren’t confused at all. Selene’s shyness is all within Irene’s calculations…”

“Right, Irene was once called the Queen of Dragons. As the queen of a land where dragons and humans coexisted, no one understands dragons better than Irene. This is all part of her plan.”

Evan realized something incredible.

So from the start, Irene, the Queen of Dragons, aimed to tame Selene, the dragon G.o.d?!

“Ara~”

As Evan pieced it together, Irene, who was comforting Selene, noticed his gaze. She elegantly lifted her crimson hair, a few beautiful, pearl-like sweat drops glistening in the sunlight as they fell. Irene was truly both beautiful and majestic, like a celestial being and the queen of dragons.

Irene raised her right hand, gloved in black, placing her index finger on her red lips. She closed her left eye and made a gesture to Evan to keep quiet.

“Got it…”

Evan immediately understood, turning his head away from Irene.

He fully grasped the situation now. This was the story of “Fairy Tail’s Dragon Tamer, Taming the Charming Dragon G.o.d”

In a few seconds, Evan had crafted a 1.2 million-word light novel in his mind…

No one understood Tsundere dragon G.o.ds better than Irene! What did the t.i.tle Queen of Dragons mean? It meant conquering dragon G.o.ds! This was the true value of the t.i.tle Irene held for 400 years, revered by dragon slayers, humans, and dragons alike.

The dragon G.o.d’s shape had changed, but the battle continued…

“Ice Floor!!”

With terrifying ice magic, Gray and Lyon froze the ground under everyone’s feet.

“Ah!!”

Countless mages slipped and fell.

“Gray!”

“Lyon!”

Gray and Lyon glanced at each other.

“Let’s go!”

With an understanding, they skated forward on ice skates made from their magic.

“Oh! The champions of this year’s 24-Hour Endurance Race have already been decided, and surprisingly, there are two champions! But this hasn’t dampened the guild members’ enthusiasm. Gray and Lyon have made the first move, using ice magic to freeze the ground and make others slip…”

Jason reported energetically.

“Boom!”

But as Jason spoke, an ice spear hit him, sending him flying!

“Who are you calling the naked brothers?!”

“Yeah! Don’t slander us!”

Gray and Lyon, standing naked in front of the live broadcast crystal, shouted angrily.

“Buzz!”

As they confronted Jason, a transparent wall with inscriptions rose around them.

“d.a.m.n…”

Gray and Lyon tried to escape but were too late, cras.h.i.+ng into the wall.

“What’s happening?”

They asked in unison.

“Sorry, I added a spell to prevent perverts from pa.s.sing.”

Freed smirked.

“d.a.m.n you, Freed! Let us out!”

“This spell is wrong; we’re not perverts!”

“Yeah! Except for not wearing clothes, what’s wrong with us?”

Gray and Lyon protested.

“Gray, Lyon, we call people who don’t wear clothes perverts.”

Happy, with a fish in his mouth, informed them.

“What?!”

Gray and Lyon’s expressions changed.

“Let’s go, Freed. We have a mission to help Laxus get third place.”

Bickslow and Evergreen joined Freed, preparing to continue eliminating obstacles for Laxus.

“Alright…”

Freed put away his sword, ready to leave.

But then, a chilling aura enveloped them…

“Ugh…”

Freed, Bickslow and Evergreen’s faces changed.

“Boom!!”

With a blast of icy air, the Raijinshū trio were frozen into ice sculptures.

“Don’t think you can harm my cute disciples and get away with it~”

Ur smiled at the frozen trio.

“Master!”

Gray and Lyon’s eyes lit up, happy to see Ur.

“Boom!!”

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck at Ur. The terrifying lightning exceeded the power of S-cla.s.s mages, clearly at the level of the Ten Wizard Saints.

“Ur!!”

Gray and Lyon shouted in panic.

“I’ll give you your words back. Don’t think you can attack the Raijinshū and compete unharmed, Ur!”

Laxus, enveloped in golden lightning, stood opposite Ur, speaking coldly.

“Hehe, that depends on your skills!”

As the smoke cleared, Ur stood unharmed before Laxus.

“Tch…”

“Of course, that level of attack isn’t enough to defeat you.”

Laxus clicked his tongue.

“Indeed.”

Ur smiled confidently.

Magic flared between them, ice and lightning clas.h.i.+ng, sending nearby mages flying.

In the sky…

“Requip: Black Wing Armor!”

Erza, wearing her black wing armor, soared through the sky.

“Take Over: Satan Soul!”

Mirajane’s eyes flashed with battle intent as she activated her Satan Soul.

“Don’t run, Erza, fight me for 300 rounds!!”

Mirajane chased Erza like a crimson lightning bolt.

“Idiot, this is an endurance race, not a duel. Let’s race in speed!”

Erza shouted without looking back.

“Fine! Even in speed, I’ll beat you!”

Mirajane’s eyes gleamed red, her battle spirit unleashed.

“Sister has moved forward!”

“Lisanna, let’s go…”

Elfman watched Erza and Mirajane fly, then turned to his sister Lisanna.

“Alright!”

Lisanna nodded.

“Full-Body Take Over…”

“Beast Soul: Cheetah!”

“Bird Soul!”

In an instant, Elfman and Lisanna transformed, running and flying.

“Iron Fist of the Fire

Dragon!!”

Meanwhile, Natsu forgot it was an endurance race, punching guild members left and right.

“Aye!”

Happy cheered him on.

“d.a.m.n! Use your magic!”

“Cactus Gatling Gun!!”

“Super Speed…”

“Purple Flame!!”

“Cloud Fist!”

With S-cla.s.s mages leading, others unleashed their magic, filling the air with colorful spells!

Amid the chaos…

Gildarts sat in his wheelchair, head lowered, looking gloomy.

“Father…”

“Gildarts…”

Cana, seeing his sorrow, almost revealed their relations.h.i.+p.

As Gildarts’ daughter, Cana felt heartache seeing him like this. She decided to help him, no matter what.

“Hehe…”

But just as she approached, Gildarts grinned mischievously.

“Huh?!”

Cana froze, sensing something was off.

“It’s time to show you my power!”

“My dear partner, get ready!!”

Gildarts stroked his wheelchair, pressing a red b.u.t.ton.

“Boom!”

His wheelchair transformed, exhaust ports appearing near the tires…

“This is…”

Cana guess what was happening.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, Gildarts’ wheelchair roared, shooting forward like a rocket, leaving a trail of black smoke.

“Hahaha…”

“Eat my dust, you fools!”

Gildarts laughed, racing ahead at 200 kilometers per hour.

“This is cheating!”

“Violation! Violation!!”

Guild members shouted in anger.

“Huh? What are you saying? I can’t hear you because you’re too slow~”

Gildarts taunted, stopping briefly to mock them.

“Bye, fools. Eat my dust~”

Gildarts sped away, leaving everyone fuming.

“Want to kill him so badly!!”

The guild members, for once, agreed on something.

“d.a.m.n sc.u.m father, return all my sympathy and then die!”

Cana, covered in soot, cursed Gildarts.

“Ara~”

“The guild mages are like monsters~ So scary~”

Amid the chaos, Evan stood quietly, hands in his pockets, watching the guild members fight. He shook his head, feeling out of place among these battle-crazy mages.

After speaking, Evan’s body turned into dark light, disappearing from the spot…

“Sigh…”

“Please, don’t reveal our guild’s behavior during the live broadcast!”

Makarov, teary-eyed, watched the chaos and then looked at the naked Gray and Lyon trapped by Freed’s spell in front of the live crystal. Now, the entire Kingdom of Fiore knew Fairy Tail’s mages loved to run around naked, and there was no explaining it away…
