Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

The Black Dragon's wings radiated an expanding black light, deflecting the full force of the Super Magic Tremor.

Despite the overwhelming power of the eight-star magic, it only managed to push Acnologia into outer space.

Hovering amidst the stars, the Black Dragon spread its massive wings, gazing at a distant blue planet.

Even for him, the attack had caused damage. His jet-black wings were punctured in places, small holes leaking black magic as they slowly repaired themselves.

"Impressive… for a human."

Acnologia sneered coldly before diving back toward the planet.

…

Meanwhile, Nate replenished his magic reserves, restoring himself to full power once more. Through his Six Eyes, he observed Acnologia's rapid descent from space.

"I only managed to scratch him. First Master, I really did my best," Nate said, shrugging with mock helplessness.

Before Mavis could reply, a blue-white beam of energy descended from above—Acnologia's Dragon Roar, aimed directly at Nate.

"Be careful, Fourth Master! He's counterattacking!" Mavis warned.

Enveloped in a golden glow, Nate used Flight Magic to dodge in an instant, appearing beside Igneel.

"Igneel, do you have a way to take him down?"

"None… but together, we might be able to drive him off."

As man and dragon exchanged words, the Black Dragon's breath struck the ground, unleashing an explosion that lit up the night like a small nuclear blast. Despite the immense destructive force, the Fairy Sphere shield held firm.

"Impressive," Nate muttered, genuinely impressed. "Mavis's ultimate defense magic is as reliable as ever."

As the light of the explosion faded, Acnologia descended again, his massive black wings blotting out the sky. The blood-red eyes of the Black Dragon locked onto Nate. Without a word, he began gathering magic in his maw for another attack.

"I have an idea," Nate said quickly. "Can you create an opening for me?"

Igneel didn't hesitate.

"Flame Dragon's Roar!"

The fiery dragon's breath collided with Acnologia's, resulting in another thunderous explosion. The resulting fireball illuminated the sky like a miniature sun.

Without wasting time, the two dragons closed the distance, engaging in a brutal melee of claws, teeth, and muscle. Taking advantage of the distraction, Nate transformed into a streak of golden light and circled around to Acnologia's back. In his palm, he conjured a Worm of Time, a writhing creature of white energy.

The small worm squirmed out of his hand and began its descent toward the Black Dragon, aiming for the gaps between its scales. Would it work? Nate wasn't entirely confident. When he had used the Worm of Time on the Jade Dragon Zirconis, it had nearly failed. Acnologia, being leagues stronger than the Jade Dragon, was an entirely different challenge.

Sensing something amiss, Acnologia whipped his massive tail, striking Igneel and sending him flying. The sudden movement also flung the Worm of Time off course. The Black Dragon's sharp senses detected the tiny creature. With a swift motion, he opened his jaws and snapped it up. The minuscule worm, no bigger than a human thumb, was like a mere morsel to Acnologia. He chewed once before swallowing, his piercing eyes narrowing with suspicion. His instincts screamed that this small creature was dangerous.

"Human," Acnologia growled, his deep voice resonating. "You wield interesting magic."

"Apologies," Nate quipped. "But it's not very nutritious. Just a construct of pure magic. No protein at all."

He felt his connection with the Worm of Time severed. As expected of the Dragon King—his digestive abilities were beyond comprehension.

"Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade!"

At that moment, Igneel, engulfed in golden flames, recovered from being swatted away. Like a fiery arrow, he charged at Acnologia from the distance, streaking through the air like a comet.

Acnologia, temporarily ignoring Nate, extended both claws to seize Igneel's head mid-flight. With an overwhelming surge of power, the Black Dragon forced Igneel back, sending him hurtling higher into the clouds.

Nate's gaze followed the two dragons as they clashed.

"Seems I used Fairy Sphere too early," he thought, shaking his head. "I should have waited for Grandeeney and Metalicana to emerge too."

One-on-one, Igneel was no match for Acnologia. In the original timeline, Igneel fought with everything he had, only managing to bite off a piece of Acnologia's spine before succumbing to his injuries. Even with Grandeeney and Metalicana, the outcome likely wouldn't be different. After all, four centuries ago, Acnologia had slaughtered tens of thousands of dragons. His title as the Dragon King was no mere hyperbole, but a testament to his blood-soaked achievements.

To be honest, Nate couldn't think of a straightforward solution to dealing with Acnologia.

…

From above, flashes of light erupted intermittently. Each fiery explosion turned the cloudscape red, as though the sky were ablaze. Amid the fierce melee, Igneel quickly found himself outmatched.

By Nate's side, Mavis appeared, her tiny figure hovering near him. The curl of hair on her head swayed with her movements.

"First Master, do you have any ideas?" Nate asked.

"Dragons naturally possess high resistance to magic, and the Dragon King's scales are even more impenetrable." Mavis's expression turned grave. "Ordinary magic won't even scratch him. Your earlier Super Magic injuring him at all was a lucky exception."

The Fairy Strategist's mind raced for solutions. Against such a powerful foe, Fairy Tail's Three Great Magics were unlikely to make a dent. Fairy Law and Fairy Glitter would barely touch him. That left only the Fairy Sphere.

"Fourth Master, use the Fairy Sphere to seal him!" Mavis encouraged. "You can do it, Fourth Master!"

Nate gave her a blank stare. He had tried using the Worm of Time earlier, and Acnologia detected it almost instantly. The charging time for Fairy Sphere was far longer—if it actually landed, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

After a moment's thought, Nate hit upon an idea.

"How about this: I'll use Reverse Magic to control him temporarily. First Master, you handle sealing him with a Fairy Sphere."

"But I don't have enough magic for that. I'm just a ghost, after all." Mavis's small, angelic ears twitched, but her expression suddenly brightened. "The [Magic Net Bank]?"

"Exactly."

Without hesitation, Nate transferred 3,000 Magic Net Coins to Mavis's account—equivalent to 30 stars of magic power. The moment Mavis accessed the funds, pure magic energy surged into her ring. Her golden eyes sparkled with newfound determination.

"I can do it. Let's work together, Fourth Master!"

"If it doesn't work, we'll have to make a run for it," Nate said with a wry smile.

Taking a deep breath, he transformed into a streak of golden light, ascending toward the clashing dragons.

"Let me assist you!"

Hearing Nate's voice, Igneel turned his fiery gaze toward him. In a flash of gold, Nate landed on the fire dragon's broad back.

After headbutting Acnologia to create some distance, Igneel rumbled, "What's the plan, Nate?"

"I'll use Reverse Magic to subdue him temporarily. Igneel, buy me some time."

Nate stretched both hands forward, gathering his magic into his palms. A small, milky-white orb of energy began forming between them. One star… two stars…

The rapidly escalating surge of magic immediately drew Acnologia's attention.

"Reverse Magic?"

Igneel didn't fully understand, but it didn't matter. He trusted Nate completely. Roaring mightily, the Fire Dragon King launched himself at Acnologia once more, engaging him in another ferocious battle.
