Capítulo 46: Chapter 46: The Mighty Power of the Five Dragon Gods
"You think we're going to die?!"
"Could it be, Ian, that you have information about the 100 Years Quest?!"
"Honestly, I've searched every possible place..."
"But in all the libraries on this continent, I couldn't find a single bit of information on the 100 Years Quest."
"Logically, since this quest has existed for over a century, even if no one has completed it, there should still be some leaked information, right?"
"Yet, even the Magic Council has no record related to the 100 Years Quest. It's as if someone deliberately erased everything about it."
"This is clearly unusual..."
After Ian's reminder, Gildarts seemed to sober up from his drunken state. He knew Ian wouldn't joke about something so serious. Turning to Ian, he said earnestly, "So, Ian, please tell me everything you know about the 100 Years Quest."
"Sigh..." Ian sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
He knew clearly that if he didn't explain things to Gildarts today, the stubborn man might still repeat his original fate—taking on the 100 Years Quest and ending up gravely injured.
Gildarts was just that stubborn.
"First of all..."
"The 100 Years Quest isn't meant for ordinary people."
"Think about it carefully..."
"For someone who has lived in this world for at least a century and has the power to send their quest across the endless seas to another continent—how terrifying must their strength be?!"
"And second..."
"For someone so powerful to be unable to complete the task themselves and have to entrust it to others, how difficult do you think that task is?!"
"I don't need to spell it out; you must already have an idea in your minds."
With that, Ian paused and took a sip of his beer.
"I'm fully aware of the difficulty of the 100 Years Quest..."
"If it were easy, it wouldn't have troubled the world for a hundred years."
"But just because others can't complete it doesn't mean we can't."
"After all, a mage is someone who turns the impossible into possible, constantly creating miracles."
Gildarts took a large gulp of his drink, countering Ian's words.
"I wish it were that simple."
"But the 100 Years Quest is different; it has a very high threshold."
Ian sighed, looking somewhat resigned.
"To tell the truth..."
"I do know some things that others don't about the 100 Years Quest."
"The old monster who issued the 100 Years Quest to all the magic guilds in the world..."
"His true identity is Elefseria, the guild master of the Magia Dragon, located on the northern continent of Guiltina—the world's very first magic guild."
"As for the content of the 100 Years Quest, it's quite simple."
"It's to help Elefseria seal the five dragons gods rampaging across the northern continent."
Ian revealed everything he knew to Gildarts and Ur.
"Dragon Gods?"
Ur froze, not quite understanding what Ian meant by 'Dragon Gods.'
"Dragon Gods are the five dragons that the people of Guiltina refer to as gods. It's said that the power of each of these dragons rivals that of actual deities."
"In fact, it's not an exaggeration to call these five dragons as gods, considering each one has the power to destroy the entire world."
Ian explained the concept of dragon god to Ur.
"Destroy the world? That sounds far-fetched!"
Ur pursed her lips, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead as she struggled to believe it.
"No, I'm not exaggerating. When I say they can destroy the world, I mean it quite literally."
"This 'world destruction' is not a figurative description of their destructive power—it's a factual, straightforward statement."
"For example, Selene, the Moon Dragon, one of the five dragon gods, can use her magic to control the moon and make it fall onto our planet, Earth Land."
"When the moon crashes down, our world will be completely annihilated."
"And each of the other dragon gods possesses power equal to Selene's."
Ian, concerned that Gildarts and Ur might not fully grasp the immense gap between humanity and the dragon gods of Guiltina, gave this example of the Moon Dragon Selene.
"Pull the moon down?!"
"You've got to be kidding..."
"If Earth Land is destroyed, wouldn't those dragons perish too?"
Ur looked shaken, unable to fathom what the world would look like if the moon collided with the planet.
"Unfortunately, Selene controls magic that allows her to travel to other worlds. Even if this world is destroyed, she can still survive."
Ian looked at Ur and explained.
"In short, Gildarts..."
"If you truly intend to take on the 100 Years Quest, from now on, you need to learn how to fight dragons, specifically, Dragon Slayer Magic."
"Remember, your opponents this time aren't humans. They're dragons, the ancient rulers of the world. And not just any dragons—these are the strongest among them."
Ian turned to the silent Gildarts, urging him with a serious tone.
"So if I can shatter the moon in one strike, does that mean I can take on the 100 Years Quest?!"
"I'm fired up now..."
At that moment, Gildarts sounded as excited as Natsu, brimming with enthusiasm for battle.
"Shatter the moon with one strike?!"
"Are you some kind of monster, Gildarts?!"
"After hearing all this, you're still planning to go to the northern continent of Guiltina to complete the 100 Years Quest?!"
Ian looked at Gildarts, exasperated.
"Of course! When I grow strong enough to challenge those dragon gods, I will definitely take on the 100 Years Quest! Unfortunately, for now, it's still too early."
Gildarts sounded slightly regretful. He had originally planned to tackle the 100 Years Quest within three years, but now, he had to postpone it...
Because Gildarts knew very well that if those five dragon gods were as strong as Ian claimed, facing them now would only lead to certain death.
"Phew, good. Calm down now."
Ian breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Gildarts wouldn't recklessly attempt the 100 Years Quest.
"Let's drink until we drop tonight!"
With that, Gildarts, Ian, and Ur began their drinking spree.
