[His cheeks were already deformed.]
Those eyes, which had been shrouded in darkness, had only recently opened; they hadn't even had a chance to see the world yet.
At that moment, terror completely overwhelmed them.
Those pupils, shrunk to their absolute smallest size, were fixed intently on the approaching Black Natsu.
How desperate must one feel to be able to clearly hear the sound of bones cracking inside their body?
[Perhaps only Aria herself knows the answer.]
The pressure is mounting.
Henna was getting closer and closer to him.
[Click...click click...]
An unspeakable pain welled up inside him, and his open mouth was about to utter a scream.
But under that increasingly intense pressure, even speaking became increasingly difficult for him.
It's impossible to speak like that now.
Under that extreme pressure, he could only utter indistinct whimpers.
It sounded like crying, and also like begging for mercy.
Gajeel clasped his hands together, and a massive iron sword extended from his palms, reaching a height of tens of meters.
This is a real 50-meter-long broadsword!
The sharp blade was pointed directly at HyunAz.
[He started shouting wildly.]
"Fire dragon!! Damn it, look over here, look over here!!!"
However, Gajeel ultimately failed to attract any of Henna's attention.
Despite Gajeel's constant shouting and roaring, it was all in vain.
He could only see Aria being crushed bit by bit.
Her originally obese figure now resembled a compressed balloon.

[It began to extend continuously in all four directions.]
【"Waaaah~"】
"Ugh...!!!"
"Ughhhhhh!!!!"
【boom----!!!】
[Accompanied by a loud, piercing explosion.]
The sobbing from Aria completely ceased.
That once plump body was now like a burst balloon!
[His entire body exploded with a deafening roar, at that moment...]
[It turned into a sky full of blood blossoms!]
The splattered blood evaporated instantly upon approaching Henna.
But more blood and flesh splattered elsewhere, and one piece even landed at Gajeel's feet.
On the wall in front of Henna, the faint outline of Aria's previous presence could still be discerned.
But soon, the bloodstains evaporated completely.
Only the lingering smoke from the corrosive power remained, rising in disarray.
"Alia..."
Gajeel stared blankly at the piece of flesh that had fallen before him.
It was as if even the instinctive fear had been forgotten.
Thick smoke was still billowing from it.
The smell of blood made Gajeel's stomach churn violently.
I almost threw up.
The magic that had just gathered has vanished.
Gajeel knew it was too late.
[Alia is dead, so the meaning of my remaining presence has become a joke.]
He didn't believe his Dragon Slayer Technique could truly destroy the terrifying, monstrous fire dragon before him.
Henna turned his head.
Their gazes locked onto Gajeel.
That gaze, like that of the Grim Reaper, fixed itself on Gajeel.
Gajeel suddenly snapped back to reality.
Only then did I realize that my clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
He had never before in his life felt such a profound sense of time passing in an instant.
[These moments required him to be constantly on edge, like walking a tightrope, which almost drove him crazy.]
He was even starting to feel a little envious of Utsumaru, who had suffered a mental breakdown due to the backlash from Black Natsu.
At least, he doesn't have to think about when he's going to die.
Or rather... how to die, isn't it?
[Henatsu turned and began to approach Gajeel.]
I instinctively took a step back.
Gajeel's legs buckled, he stumbled, and fell to the ground.
[The next moment.]
Honez's shadow gradually enveloped him.
Gajeel stared blankly up at Black Natsu, whose expression remained calm.
My heart is racing.
[It even got to the point where Gajeel could hear his own heartbeat.]
At that moment, he felt as if death itself was beckoning to him.
But Death seemed uninterested in him.
[Honatsu has his hands in his pockets.]
[His eyes narrowed slightly.]
"So, the fact that you guys are here means that Phantom Lord has started making your move, right?"
"The operation definitely involves more than just me, right?"
Gajeel didn't even know how to respond.
[Henaz smiled, but his tone was unusually sinister: "Tell me everything you know, including your Phantom Lord's operation plan this time, and the whereabouts of that old man Joseph!"]
Chapter 231: You're spreading rumors that I'm dead?
Meanwhile, at the Fairy Tail guild...
A massive tremor reverberated throughout the vicinity of the guild.
This is neither an earthquake nor a volcanic eruption.
Rather, it was... the violent tremors caused by the movement of a colossal object.
At this moment, the Fairy Tail members, led by Erza and Mirajane, stood ready in the guild's backyard.
Facing the sea.
Faces, grim with worry, stared intently at the colossal object moving across the horizon.
It appeared to be an island, or perhaps a massive, island-like rock that had been carved out of the earth.
Beneath the rock were six enormous, spider-like mechanical legs.
Above, there was a massive complex of buildings resembling a castle.
It's worth noting that the complex appears incomplete; at least half of the buildings are in a state of disrepair.
Furthermore, it appears to be severely damaged.
