Chapter 289: Mountain Dragon
The very ground rumbled under their feet.
A huge crater split open around the Mountain Dragon's claws as it landed, its hind legs gripping the mountain wall like a massive, perched bird.
Standing at the edge of the crater, Rhodes felt a strange sense of dislocation, as if he hadn't summoned the dragon... but instead had been transported into Summoner's Rift himself.
His body swayed, drained nearly to exhaustion, and he instinctively leaned toward Mira for support.
"It's really... a dragon."
Makarov raised his right arm to shield Rhodes and Mira behind him, eyes wide in astonishment.
"Effortlessly reshaping the earth. What terrifying magic and earth mastery!"
He had never doubted Rhodes, he believed in the existence of dragons, just as he believed Natsu was raised by one. But seeing such a colossal, living dragon before his eyes still shook him to the core.
So this, was the kind of being humanity once fought against four hundred years ago?
The Mountain Dragon glanced at them, then beat its massive wings.
Even just the wind from its wings forced them to shield their faces.
