History

Dragon Slayers were a class of magic user that resided in the world of Earthland and consisted of mages that had been trained by a Dragon. Around 400 years ago, the world was ruled by Dragons who were the dominate creatures in the lands with man being little more than prey for the giant beasts. During this time, one dragon did not agree with the idea of using mankind only as food and believed that they could like in peaceful co-existence with them. This dragon managed to bring others to his line of thought leading to a divide between dragons that ultimately resulted in a civil war between the two factions. Thus, dragon fought against dragon in a brutal conflict that remained as a stalemate between the two sides. This state of affairs changed when the peaceful dragons taught their magic to their human allies thus creating the first Dragon Slayers. With their aid, they managed to turn the tide against the more aggressive dragon kind. However, this became the start of the end of the ruling age of dragons as Zeref Dragneel helped transform the Dragon Slayer Acnologia attain his ultimate form. This resulted in the human being turned into a powerful deadly dragon who turned against all the dragons where he killed them during the Dragon King Festival. The bones of the dragons were buried and their spirits remained behind whilst Acnologia became known as the feared black dragon king of Earthland.

Overview

Dragon Slayers were a specific kind of castor-type wizard who were skilled in the arts of Dragon Slayer Magic (滅竜魔法 Metsuryū Mahō). Those individuals that were Dragon Slayers were noted for their fine sense of smell. This allowed them to track people if they had their scent. It was claimed that a Dragon Slayer grew stronger if bathed in the blood of a dragon.

They were divided into a number of generations that included:

  • 1st Generation : these were magic users that were trained directly by the dragons that taught them their respective magical art with many of these seeing their teacher as a parental figure.
  • 2nd Generation : these were magic users that were implanted with a Lacryma to give them the abilities of a dragon.
  • 3rd Generation : these were magic users that were both implanted with a Lacryma and trained by a dragon who them the ways of their magical art.

A few Dragon Slayers had a unique talent at consuming elements outside of their own such as Fire Dragon Slayers able to eat lightning. Upon doing so, they could wield both elements and use them in a combined attack that was greater than normal.

An advanced ability utilised by them was Dragon Force (竜の力ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu) whereby the person effectively became a humanoid dragon and developed characteristics of the giant reptiles such as scaly skin along with sharp claws. It was said to be the final and most powerful state for a Dragon Slayer that granted them the power akin to a real Dragon allowing them to annihilate their targets. Dragon Force not only increased the strength of the Dragon Slayer but gave them access to more advanced techniques. Certain Dragon Slayers were only able to enter it in extreme situations but with training some were able to enter this state at will.

It was said that the ultimate fate for all Dragon Slayers was the transformation of the practitioner into a full dragon.
