The first to echo Marcus was a few crisp gunshots.
Whenever the gunshots sounded, blood flowers would bloom, and the owner of the blood flowers would not be a wizard from Fairy Tail, but the group of dragons controlled by the Dragon Dominator.
These bullets were either laser beams or lightning, and the one who shot them was none other than one of the top marksmen within Fairy Tail, Alzack.
Even within Fairy Tail, the only wizard who could compete with him in marksmanship was his wife, Bisca.
"Marcus is right, leave these dragons to us. You guys go and do what you need to do!" Alzack said coolly, and as he spoke, the gunshots never ceased, his skilled techniques ensuring every shot hit its mark.
After seven years of training, Alzack had not only matured in age but also grown into an outstanding wizard. Excluding the members of the Twilight Ogre, he could be considered the strongest.
Now, he was doing what he should be doing—clearing the way for the main force of this operation to advance smoothly and eliminating the enemies blocking their path.
"Madshot!"
Flames kept flashing from his gun barrel, rapid and continuous shots that made it seem as if he alone could suppress this dragon horde.
"Go ahead, don't worry about us, Guild Master." Macao said with a smile, and now he had become old, no longer as handsome as before. However, the experiences of the past seven years had made Macao's words more convincing.
Macao nodded in silence, said nothing, waved his hand, and ran straight towards one of the doors in the hall. Behind him, about ten people, including Laxus, followed. They were the main force of the opposing Seven Deadly Sins.
They trusted their comrades, and they didn't care about being exposed. There would undoubtedly be someone to help them block the attacks.
"Don't think about leaving!" Seeing this, the Dragon Dominator shouted loudly and immediately commanded several dragons to charge. Some sprayed blue light breath from a distance, some reached forward with their sharp claws, and others rushed toward Macao and the others with a red glow enveloping their bodies.
"Sandy Barrier!" A soft shout rang out, and inconspicuous sand rose from somewhere to form a wall, blocking all the attacks. Marcus hooked his finger playfully, and with a mischievous smile in his eyes, he said, "I just said such handsome words, don't be so ungrateful."
This provocative tone was easy to provoke others' anger. The Dragon Dominator gritted his teeth, and in an angry voice, he said, "You small fries, don't get too proud!"
As he spoke, several more dragons leaped out, aggressively rushing towards Marcus.
"Purple Heaven Net!" A purple flame-woven large net suddenly appeared, firmly trapping these restless dragons. Purple flames extended from Macao's hand, and he also looked at the Dragon Dominator with a playful expression.
"You dare call us small fries? You're too underestimating us. But for us, you're at best a somewhat prestigious small fry!" "Remember, standing in front of you is the fourth-generation Guild Master of Fairy Tail, the one who is about to defeat you!" Macao shouted, and a purple flame erupted from his whole body, turning into round bullets that whistled towards the dragon horde.
"Purple Storm!"
The killing power of the purple flames was unexpectedly large. When the purple flames stuck to the dragons, they couldn't be extinguished so easily.
Romeo, who had jumped out from nowhere, with his youthful face full of confidence, smiled and said, "Is it hot? Then let me help you cool down!"
I saw his hands emitting a sky-blue flame, and he swung a punch at a dragon that had been stuck with purple flames.
"Blue Flame Ice Fist!"
The thin fist seemed so weak, but when it touched the dragon's body, the blue flame suddenly exploded, firmly enveloping the dragon's entire body. The latter could only struggle and howl in pain within the blue flame.
Even if the main force members left, Fairy Tail was not at a disadvantage. They vividly demonstrated their growth over the past seven years.
With a strong momentum, they surged forward, and at this moment, Fairy Tail showed their indomitable spirit.
On the other side, after separating from Marcus, Macao and his group swiftly navigated through the castle.
While running, Macao suddenly spoke, "Let's split up here, quickly find your respective targets!"
"Then I'll go first, old man." Laxus responded, and in an instant, lightning erupted from his body. Under everyone's gaze, he turned into a bolt of lightning and swiftly left.
Seeing this situation, Ultear couldn't help but sigh and say, "Really fast, comparable to Gildarts. But is it too impulsive? Using magic to search, aren't you afraid of wasting magical power?"
"Humph, don't underestimate the nose of the Dragon Slayer. That guy must have smelled something!" Gajeel said disdainfully, then he raised the corner of his mouth, and the next moment, Pantherlily spread his wings and flew behind him, both leaving quickly.
"Did you find the target so quickly? Then I'll go too!" Jellal said lightly, his body also flashing with a golden light, streaking across the corridor like a meteor towards a certain direction.
In the past, Jellal had infiltrated this castle, so he was quite familiar with the directions. Seeing that Laxus and Gajeel already had clear targets, he didn't delay.
In the blink of an eye, this group of people was reduced by three people and a cat, and the number of people suddenly decreased.
Seeing this, Macao couldn't help but smile triumphantly.
When passing through a certain intersection, the remaining people instinctively chose different directions, following their intuition and heading towards the strange aura they sensed.
Freed wrote the word "wing" for himself and Bickslow, and behind him appeared a pair of magnificent wings. As for Bickslow, he stood on his puppet and freely roamed like surfing.
Macao's body became huge, with each step covering a large distance, increasing his speed significantly.
The four of them chose the two sides of the intersection, while Mira and Ultear continued to move forward.
At this moment, Ultear looked at Mira and the others, smiled, and asked, "Aren't you going to speed up?"
Mira also smiled and replied softly, "Then how about you?"
Ultear smiled a little without saying anything, but at this moment, her expression suddenly became serious.
Not only her but also the other four people, at the same time, focused and prepared because in front of them, a figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking their way.
The enemy appeared, just not knowing whether it was the Seven Deadly Sins or their subordinates.
But no matter what, after witnessing the strength of the Dragon Dominator, they dared not have any underestimation of the other party's emotions.
