Ian knew clearly in his heart...
The barrier ahead is the dividing line between humans and monsters.
As long as he takes one more step forward, Ian will be able to rise to the level of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar...
At the same time, it is also the inhuman level described by Granny Oba, the president of the Magister Guild Snake Princess Scale.
"Call..."
"It seems that the reward I received from the first simulation can only improve me to this point."
"The next step is to extract the rewards I received during the second simulation."
Ian then extracted from the system the rewards he received during the second simulation.
The timeline of Ian's second simulation entry is X377, the first year after Ian's death.
In this year, Acnologia, who was still the 'Dragon Slayer', went crazy.
Whether it is an ordinary giant dragon or a terrifying being at the Dragon King level, anyone who dares to stand in front of Acnologia will die.
The dragons in the entire Earthland world have come to a moment of life and death.
For this reason, the great Flame Dragon King Igneel, in order to obtain power enough to defeat the invincible Demon Dragon King Acnologia, did not hesitate to cooperate with the black mage Zeref.
Finally, with the help of the Heartfilia family, the ancient Celestial Mage family.
The Celestial Spirit Mage, the Dragon Slayer Mage, the giant dragon, and the Black Mage conducted a relay that lasted four hundred years and spanned several generations...
However, these have nothing to do with Ian. His mission has nothing to do with the main plot. He is responsible for safely sending a group of young dragons who are extremely arrogant and have no regard for humans to the northern continent safely.
In this regard, Ian learned the 'secret technique of dragon manipulation' that can give psychological suggestions to the dragon, and also invented a transportation magic specifically for the dragon-slayer magister!
Well, the so-called vehicle magic is to make the air move by adding the properties of a vehicle to the air, thus indirectly affecting Acnologia, who is almost immune to magic.
Yes, Acnologia felt like vomiting as soon as he touched the air attached to Ian. To be honest, Irene was the inspiration for this move.
After all, Irene was in the original work, but by adding magic to the earth, she successfully sent away Acnologia, who originally ignored magic...
Although Ian, like Irene, cannot cause much harm to Acnologia, it can disgust him.
But what is more regrettable is that after using the transportation magic, Ian himself will become dizzy.
In this way, Ian took the young dragons, while traveling and training these disobedient dragon cubs, while also entangled with Acnologia for nearly twenty years...
Only then did all the young dragons on the Ishgar continent send away.
Yes.
Ian offended not only the five divine dragons, but also Acnologia.
What makes Ian most heartbroken is that when he simulated for the second time, he thought he was the same as the last time, except that he had a longer dream...
After all, that's what dreams are like.
Sometimes you clearly feel that you have slept for a long time and experienced a lot, but when you open your eyes, you realize that less than ten minutes have passed.
This is still a different world with magic, so it's normal to have longer dreams.
Therefore, Ian has always viewed people with their true appearance.
I have to say, he was careless...
"Extract!"
When Ian's recollection ended, he sighed deeply and at the same time withdrew the rewards he had stored in the system.
Now that things have come to this, he can no longer change the past...
I can only scold the system for being a cheat and keep working hard to become stronger.
Until those potential enemies can't hurt him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the magic power that Ian had worked hard for twenty years in the Five Dragons timeline, and the magic he had learned, all rushed into his body.
In an instant, the barrier between humans and non-humans in Ian's body was immediately broken through by this powerful magic power.
Judging from the magic power in Ian's body now, he is not inferior to the last three of the Four Ishgar Kings.
That is, Warrod Sequen and others, represented by the founder of Fairy Tail Guild...
Of course, compared to the one in the original work, Ian originally ranked first among the ten holy magisters, but eventually betrayed the continent of Ishgar and turned to the continent of the West, that is, the embrace of Zeref, and succeeded.
Serena, the 'God' who joined the Twelve Shields of the Saints, is still slightly inferior.
But at this time, Serena still doesn't know which village she is squatting in~
In other words, Ian has now reached the top level of the Ishgar continent...
But it's still not enough...
Compared with the real strong man, he is far from enough!
Ian, who is as powerful as the King of Heaven, is still like a crawling ant when faced with existences of the level of Irene and the Magic King.
Not to mention those dragons who are more powerful than Irene and the Magic King, as well as the invincible Acnologia.
And now there is only one thing Ian can do, and that is...
"System, simulate it for me!"
The moment Ian screamed in his heart, he felt his consciousness dim.
[Simulated object Gray, Timeline Deliora first invaded the town where Gray was located. ]
[Simulated object Cana, timeline before Cornelia Arupelona died of illness. ]
[The simulated object Natsu was sent away by Igneel and Zeref using the Eclipse Gate. ]
Ian looked at the countless timelines in front of him, his eyes twitching slightly.
Perhaps it was because the current Natsu was not Zeref's biological brother who died under the dragon's attack. He was actually the Balrog END resurrected by Zeref using his brother's remains...
So there is only one thing that bothers Natsu, and that is why Igneel left without saying goodbye. He wanted to be with Igneel forever.
Ian rejected this item directly because he couldn't complete it at all.
Next is the relationship between Cana and Gray...
Ian didn't hesitate and chose Gray directly.
Ian can't solve the problems that bother Cana at all. He knows nothing about treating patients, so he has to go to Porlyusica first to replenish some medical knowledge...
In summary.
Ian believes that Gray's timeline is the most suitable for him now.
"Simulation!" As Ian identified the simulated object, he felt that the world he was in was getting dark.
When Ian regained consciousness, he was already in a sea of fire.
"Help! Someone help me..."
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!"
"Damn it, why would a monster like Deliora appear here?!"
The whole town was filled with cries and pleas for help.
[Warning, the timeline has changed. ]
[Host please leave immediately, otherwise the timeline will develop in an extreme direction. ]
[Gray will most likely die. ]
"Damn!"
Ian cursed angrily and disappeared into the burning town.
Among the countless ruins turned into after being ravaged by demons...
A little boy looked panicked. In front of him were his parents who were unable to move under the rubble.
"Gray, run!"
"Never look back..."
"As you can see, although it's a pity, Meihua and I can no longer afford to leave."
"But you still have a chance to escape from here."
"Gray, carry the hopes of me and your mother, live well."
Silver's legs, which were pressed under the beam, were already numb.
He was blocking Meihua's body, and his arms that were pierced by nails were no longer able to swing.
He lowered his body and looked at the people protected by him, who were injured by the impact.
The fainting wife, with fascination in her eyes...
In fact, Silver had a chance to escape. He was one of the first people to discover that Deliora had invaded the town, but he rushed back without hesitation in order to save his wife who was still in the house.
It's a pity that he never has the chance to leave...
Silver never regretted dying with Meihua.
If there is anything in this world that worries Silver, it must be his young son.
Finally, Silver raised his head. He looked at his proud son and encouraged: "Gray, be brave! You have grown up and it's time to make a choice! Run, take me and your mother's hope to survive."
After all, sometimes escape requires more courage than death.
"Father!! Mother!"
Gray's voice was hoarse, his eyes were already red, and tears were dripping from them.
"Roar!!"
Not far away, the demon's roar was getting closer and closer.
"Gray, run!!"
Silver was roaring under the house.
"Damn it."
Gray raised his head and looked at the demon in the distance with eyes full of hatred and hatred. He wanted revenge and he wanted to live. Sooner or later, he would kill the demon who was the culprit who destroyed the town. Deliora.
Gray's heart was about to be filled with hatred.
So that it eventually led to a catastrophe, before something happened that made him regret his whole life...
A figure that looked like an evil ghost landed in front of Gray at some point.
Yes, Deliora!
"Don't want!"
Silver roared angrily. He didn't know where the strength came from. His numb body was once again filled with strength. He seemed to be able to break free from the ruins weighing thousands of kilograms.
As for Gray, his pupils shrank slightly.
Maybe it would be good to die here...
At least it won't kill that person.
Who is that person?
"No!!"
Under Silver's roar, Deliora waved his fist.
"I see..."
"In Gray's opinion, when Deliora invaded the town for the first time! Should he have died under the opponent's fist instead of insisting on killing his master Ur in the future?!"
"But it doesn't matter, Gray you won't die here, your parents won't die here, the townspeople won't die here, and Ur won't die here..."
"Because this time, I'm here!"
At this critical moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Silver, who was struggling to break free from the rubble in order to save Gray. He picked up Gray on the ground with one hand, and waved towards the ferocious-looking Deliora with the other.
"Roar?"
Deliora was in a daze. He didn't notice when the human in front of him came to him. Just when he was confused, the human spoke.
"Yo! Devil..."
"Who allowed you to take action against my people?"
Before Deliora could think about it, the majestic gravity was already released from the human hand waving towards him.
"Boom!!"
Just hear a roar.
Deliora, who was ravaging the town, was already flying into the sky uncontrollably under this powerful force...
"Boom!"
With takeoff Deliora.
There seemed to be lightning flashes in the sky...
"Crash..."
The next second, heavy rain fell from the sky, extinguishing the burning town.
It seems that God is mourning for this town.
