"agh!!"
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BANG*
"ROOOARR!!!"
The walls of the fortress of Crocus were quickly broken down, more than half of the fortress was destroyed, explosions took place every second.
The lifeless, dragons's bodies fell from the sky like drops of water in a bloody rain, every moment hundreds of mages died the battlefield was completely stained red, the surrounding area was completely devastated, several ravines appeared on the ground while the surrounding mountains were destroyed.
Behind a destroyed building, Yug with his severed arm was lying on the ground looking at Anna who was fighting further away with a slight sadness and a feeling of helplessness.
"Thank you... both for the wonderful adventures you've given me... thank you friends..."
"Kid, come help the little girl before she dies too..."
Then Yug's eyes became pale, his heart stopped beating, seconds later a ball of fire fell from the sky and burned his corpse.
*Booom*
"Yug!!"
Anna with several more or less superficial wounds watched helplessly, Yug engulfed in flames as tears streamed from her eyes.
But she didn't have time to help her friend because dragons were constantly coming towards her, her magical energy was fading, the members of the Heartfilia clan accompanying her were also dying almost every second, hope began to abandon her little by little.
The same scene was happening everywhere on the battlefield, friends, husband, wife, children would die in the most brutal way, the innocent dragons just wanting peace would also die for their cause, so the fight continued for another five hours the magi of Ishgar and the anti-human dragons began to weaken.
The slaughter on both sides reached its climax, but unfortunately, the anti-human dragons had the advantage.
But suddenly a shocking event took place, across the whole continent 111 pillars of black light pierced the sky, creating an appalling spectacle, a gigantic skull appeared in the sky with a reddish glow that encompassed the entire continent.
Whether human or dragon, everyone stopped the fight at the sight of the skull of death.
A hoarse and cold voice from the basement of the Guild of Hunter Dragons then crossed the entire continent.
"Forbidden Magic of Death: Sacrificial Seal!!"
"This is the voice of the guild master..." Clea said with fear as she supervised the command of the guild members on the battlefield.
But at the same time, the gigantic skull of death opened its skeletal jaws and a magic circle appeared around the main building of the Hunter Dragon Guild.
"I accept your sacrifice."
Said the skull of death in a deep, terrifying, cold and powerful voice.
Then the circle quickly expanded from 50 meters to one kilometer, then to 10 kilometers, then to 50 km...100km...500km...900km and finally the magic circle stopped at 1111km from Crocus, a fearsome suction force from the sky then sucked all the dragons towards the mouth of the skull with incomparable power, whether from the peace faction or the anti-human faction.
"ROOOARR!"
The corpses of dead humans, animals and insects in 1111km area were also sucked up to the sky, if someone with a microscope was observing the phenomenon, he would realize that even microbes were not spared.
. . . . . . .
Suddenly the a strong radiance of black colored magic energy increased sharply, and gradually turned into a towering dark light which surrounded the skeleton of Haruto. This sudden increase of the strength cause the stones beneath Haruto to disintegrate and turn into fine powders.
His laboratory was completely destroyed, the town of Crocus gradually disappeared into the dark light, all the mages who survived the battle fled without hesitation, even the members of the Dragon Hunter Guild left.
But one thing was certain, neither of them would ever forget the terrifying spectacle they had witnessed.
Four pentagrams then appeared on Haruto's skeleton, the first on his left arm, the second on his right arm, the fourth on his left leg and the last on his right leg.
The skull of death in the sky then closed his mouth, then a bloody glow emanated from him for a moment before descending towards Haruto.
Haruto's flesh quickly rebuilt itself, his organs, muscles, tendons, nerves, skin.
His eyes returned to normal, his hair returned to its original colour, but his body became slightly larger with more protruding physical muscles.
Then the skull of death in the sky dissipated, the magic circle disappeared with the 111 others scattered over the continent.
Everything was completely destroyed around him, there was no more Crocus' fortress, no more war, just him, standing among the ruins of the city.
"Ha-ha"
Haruto, feeling his body full of power, laughed alone, like a madman.
"I made it, Gear 4!!!"
A dark aura then emanated from Haruto, he floated slowly in the air, then the next second he flew towards the sky, piercing the void like an arrow, his speed was such that even the supersonic boom behind him was more than 9 seconds late.
He crossed the clouds, then the atmosphere, a few seconds later he left the planet, but he didn't stop there, his speed increased even more reaching even the speed of light, he crossed the stars, the suns and the asteroids, finally he slowly lifted his fist and hit the void.
*Bang* *Crack* *Crack*
The space slowly cracks like a mirror, revealing a dark world with countless bubbles of light.
Haruto then entered the crack that was slowly closing behind him.
