Dragon Soul (A Fairy Tail Story) [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 82: Partners in Time

The S-Class trials continued on. After Lucy and Cana defeated Freed and Bickslow, Juvia and Lisanna are currently struggling against Erza. Elfman and Evergreen were about to face Mira. And After a one-sided fight, Natsu surrendered against Gildarts.

While all of this was happening, Raiga was still fighting Gajeel.

Gajeel: Iron Dragon Roar!

Raiga: Earth Dragon Claw!

Raiga deflects Gajeel's Dragon Roar with a kick. Levy was carefully analyzing the situation.

Levy: (There has to be something I can do...)

Noticing Raiga's movement pattern, Levy comes up with a plan.

Levy: Solid Script! Oil!

Levy summons a puddle of oil beneath Raiga, causing him to trip.

Raiga: ...O-O... Huh!?

Levy: Now!

Gajeel: Got you now! Secret Dragon Slayer Art!

Gajeel claps his hands together above his head, creating a gigantic iron sword.

Raiga: What the-

Gajeel: Karma Demon! Iron God Sword!

He then gets struck down by the giant sword, creating a massive explosion.

When the smoke clears, Raiga lays down on a small crater defeated.

Levy: D-Did we get him?

Raiga: *Thumbs up* Y-You pass...

Hearing that, Levy smiles brightly.

Levy: We did it!

Gajeel: Gotta say, I didn't you had it in you. Pulling off such underhanded tactic.

Levy: Please don't call it underhanded!

After Gajeel and Levy left, Raiga just stood there sitting next to a tree.

Fuuwa: Raiga.

Raiga: Hm?

Fuuwa walks up to him.

Raiga: Oh, hey.

Fuuwa: Didn't think you'd fall for such dumb trick.

Raiga: Yeah. Gramps and Erza are gonna chew me out for this. Looks like I still have a long way to go.

Fuuwa: It happens. Your job was to be an obstacle for them, and you fulfilled your duty just fine.

Raiga: I suppose.

Fuuwa: There's still some time before lunch. Wanna smoke a few cigarettes?

Raiga: Don't mind if I do!
