Chapter 431 All three of you, come at me together!
"Dragon Power—is it the most basic form?"
Future Rogue stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Gajeel argued with Natsu as if he were no one else.
You have to understand, these third-generation Dragon Slayers only awakened this power after they had finally managed to kill a dragon!
"Damn it! They're completely ignoring us!"
The future Stinger was clearly not as calm as the future Rogge, and was completely agitated by the casual behavior of the formidable opponent he had been anticipating.
With his pride wounded, he strode forward, his hands clasped behind his back, their palms gleaming with a dazzling pure white light.
"The radiance of the white dragon purifies all things in the world, the white dragon's—"
"Holy Rain of Light!!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless white arrows shot out, tracing sharp paths in mid-air, heading straight for Natsu and Gajeel, who were passionately exchanging insults.
A magical aura rushed towards them, and Natsu and Gajeel almost simultaneously withdrew their foreheads, their nimble movements creating a safe distance in a few flashes.
Boom!!
The multicolored beams of light landed on the area where they had been standing, exploding into huge spherical flames!
Perhaps Lucy was already nearing her limit during her previous magical clash with Future Minerva, or perhaps Future Stinger's attack was simply too powerful.
The arena was instantly breached, creating a gap of over ten meters. Cracks appeared in the surrounding hard ground, and rubble fell, clearly revealing the underground structure beneath!
"Whoa! To shatter the arena with a single blow, what terrifying power that is!!" Chabadi shouted excitedly.
"After all, he's a Dragon Slayer Mage." Yajima nodded slightly, acknowledging the destructive power of the attack.
In the few seconds it took to express his feelings, the future Stinger and the future Rogge had already burst out onto the field.
Their goal was very clear: to become the "big brother" they had all longed for!
The battlefield was thus divided into two.
Future Stinger quickly closed in, his fists, imbued with holy attributes, raining down on Natsu like a storm.
Natsu chuckled, showing no intention of backing down, and clenched his flaming fists, choosing to confront the attack head-on.
Ola ola ola!
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle using dragon-slaying magic, and for a moment, white light flashed and flames spread everywhere.
It created gusts of air and stirred up waves of air, making the audience cheer with excitement.
"As expected, Mr. Natsu is incredibly strong! It was worth the long wait!"
Future Stinger pumped his fist and shouted excitedly.
This evenly matched magical duel stirred a long-lost surge of excitement within him.
On the other hand, Natsu, who always loves to fight, was calm and composed, showing an unusual level of composure, and even a hint of slight disappointment.
The next second, the power of the flames suddenly increased.
The heavy fist, burning with intense white light, slammed into Future Stinger's face!
Blood splattered as Future Stinger staggered backward, his feet carving two deep furrows into the ground.
"I said, did you really use this power to kill the dragon?" Natsu withdrew his fist and asked again.
If that's the case, then the dragons you raised must be far too weak, right?
"Hehe, that's for sure."
In the future, Stinger raised his hand to wipe away the blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth and smiled confidently, "Success."
The moment he finished speaking, the magic circle on Natsu's abdomen flickered, and a pure white dragon-shaped seal appeared.
"Similar effect to that bastard Chase's Hexagram Binding?"
Feeling his body bound and frozen in place, Natsu was taken aback at first, then smiled faintly, "No, the two are completely incomparable!"
The flames burst forth, burning the "Sacred Judgment of the White Dragon" to ashes.
"It's unbelievable, but achieving a brief respite is more than enough, Mr. Natsu!"
Yellow bangs swayed in the hurricane, and Stinger suddenly appeared behind him, his right arm brimming with terrifying magic.
Having experienced all that before, he wasn't surprised that Natsu could break free from the stigmata's restraints, so that was just a supporting attack.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Sanctity - Nova!!"
A burst of intense white light erupted from below, creating a violent energy storm in the arena like a volcano!
Natsu was inevitably thrown high into the air by the impact, but Stinger's attacks did not stop there.
He bent his legs and exerted tremendous force, transforming into a white streak of light and pursuing his advantage at an extremely fast speed.
Unfortunately, Natsu had already predicted his movements.
After channeling his magical energy to dispel the corruption of the Dragon Slayer technique, Natsu unleashed a torrent of flames from his right leg, twisting his entire body 180 degrees: "Fire Dragon Claw!"
The fire-attribute somersault kick accurately struck Future Stinger, blasting him back into the arena in a dazzling display of fire.
Boom!
The fragile ground crumbled again, and smoke and dust filled the air.
In the future, Stinger flipped over and jumped out of the smoke and dust, landing with his abdomen caved in and his cheeks puffing out rapidly.
Pure white magic surged, the surrounding light rapidly dimmed, and seizing the moment Natsu fell from the sky, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a magic circle lit up in front of him: "White Dragon's—Holy Breath!!"
Natsu's lips curled into a stream of liquid flame as he launched his attack almost instantaneously: "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
Moving slightly forward in time, while the two were passionately fighting, another battlefield of twin dragons was taking place.
In the future, Rogue transforms into a shadow and burrows into the ground, swaying left and right along unpredictable routes, constantly adjusting his position around Gajeel, carefully searching for the most suitable opportunity to attack.
"I seem to prefer the fire dragon's side to these boring little tricks."
Seemingly getting impatient, Gajeel slammed his foot into the ground, shouting, "Iron Dragon Staff!"
Bang bang bang!
Centered on the landing point, countless steel rods emerged from the ground, constantly encroaching on Future Rogge's range of movement.
However, this was precisely the opportunity that the composed and steady future Rogge had been waiting for.
The dark figure moved forward in the shadow cast by the iron rod, silently approaching Gajeel from behind.
Future Rogue transformed his palm into a blade, using his shadow as a weapon, and slashed directly at Gajeel's unguarded back: "Shadow Dragon's Slash!"
Midon!
Amidst the scattered sparks, the crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.
Future Roger's pupils suddenly contracted: Good, so hard!
"Hehe, the scales of an iron dragon aren't so easy to cut."
Gajeel slowly turned his head, the smile on his lips appearing quite eerie against the backdrop of the dragon scales on his cheeks.
In his Dragon Force form, his body is as strong as steel. Even Natsu struggled to withstand him when they first faced each other, let alone now that his magic has grown after several battles!
"This is what a true strike should look like!"
Gajeel raised his right arm, which had transformed into the form of the Iron Dragon Sword, and slashed down fiercely at the bewildered Future Rogue.
A cold glint flashed, and the ground of the arena was instantly cleaved open, leaving a huge trench tens of meters long with a clean cut!
Black mist emanated from the bottom of the serrated greatsword, and Future Rogue timely transformed into a shadow, avoiding a potentially fatal slash.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gajeel, I'm not the kind of guy who just charges around recklessly like Stinger."
Future Rogge responded to Gajeel's words with a cold gaze, then raised his illusory arms, "Shadow Dragon's Shadow Restraint!"
Black threads, constructed from magic, shot out and bound Gajeel like flexible ropes.
"This is a shadow cage from which no one can escape, not even you, Mr. Gajeel—."
"Iron Dragon Spear - Demon's Fury!!"
Before he could finish speaking, the steel spear thrust out at high speed, piercing through the shadow threads and violently smashing them to pieces. "Hehehe! Don't forget, I am a 'Dragon'!"
Gajeel laughed as he burst through the tattered darkness, his right arm transforming into a steel hammer.
Future Rogue was startled. Although he immediately "transformed" into an elemental form due to his fighting instincts, he was still shattered by the shockwave that followed.
The scattered shadows quickly coalesced in the air.
When he reappeared in his true form, Future Rogue's chest was bulging high, and his entire body was filled with dark magic: "Shadow Dragon's—"
"Isn't it a bit slow to realize that we need to give advance notice before a battle between dragons?"
Gajeel understood immediately, and after making a sarcastic remark, he slowly opened his mouth and inhaled, "Iron Dragon's—"
"Roar!!!" x4
The four dragon roars rang out almost simultaneously.
The four dragon-slaying spells—flame, white light, steel, and black shadow—collided in pairs, blasting out a massive fireball large enough to completely cover the entire arena.
During the foggy period, a fierce wind arose, and a shockwave carrying a destructive aura swept across the entire area!
This time, neither Chase nor Makarov intended to make a move to collect protection money.
The organizers of the Great Demon Battle Tournament seem to have learned their lesson, as they deployed guards skilled in defensive magic around the audience area as early as the start of the Four Dragons Battle.
The terrifying noise lasted for several tens of seconds.
When the arena reappeared, the scene had changed drastically.
The hole spread across the entire area, and the ground was completely blasted away and disappeared without a trace.
Rock fragments continued to roll down, falling into the huge, smoke-filled pit!
The audience was completely stunned.
"Oh my! That attack just now actually pierced right through the floor of the venue!"
Like dropping a bomb into a calm lake, Chabadi's incredibly excited commentary ignited the entire stadium, with cheers erupting continuously.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is this what a battle between Dragon Slayer Mages is like?!"
"Whether it's Fairy Tail or Sabertooth, they're simply monsters!"
"Hey! Who do you think you are? Hurry up and take down those annoying, useless magical barriers; we can't even see what's going on!"
"But—won't we die if we withdraw?"
"If you're so afraid of dying, don't sit here. You can still see it outside!"
Amidst the heated discussion among the audience, the thick smoke inside the pit gradually dissipated, revealing what appeared to be some kind of underground ruin.
The magic camera followed closely, clearly displaying the scene inside on the large screen.
There, in the area piled with rubble, Natsu, Gajeel, and Future Rogue and Stinger stood facing each other.
"Even activating the power of the dragon didn't bring any advantage; those two are indeed stronger than I imagined—"
In the future, Roger looked solemn and sighed deeply.
"That's exactly how you make it worth defeating, isn't it?" Future Stinger clenched his fist with excitement.
After their roar, which could be considered a close contest, the two realized that the difference in their strength was not significant.
This discovery greatly shocked them, who had Dragon Slayer Crystals implanted in their bodies and had always considered themselves "third-generation Dragon Slayer Mages".
Just as they were channeling all their magic power and preparing for a fierce battle, Natsu, who had just finished warming up, made his move.
"I see. I now understand your power very well, so—"
Natsu took a step forward and smiled confidently, "All three of you, including Iron Dragon, come at me together!"
hum!
The raging flames leaped and danced on the raised fingertips, like a declaration of war igniting the atmosphere!
Unlike the original story where Fairy Tail needed to avenge Lucy and her other companions who were brutally beaten, the current Fairy Tail is firmly in first place.
After the brief exchange, Natsu had a general idea of the strength of the two opponents and felt uninterested in this unequal duel, unable to "get fired up".
Therefore, in order to fight more intensely and to effectively curb Chess and his team's arrogance (the internal competition between Team A and Team B is still valid), he directly listed Gajeel as a rival!
The audience was stunned by what he said.
"What did you say?!" Future Stinger was furious.
"All three of you coming at me at once, what does that mean?" Future Sting's gaze darkened. However, their question went unanswered, as a clearly annoyed Gajeel had already clashed with Natsu: "You damn fire dragon, how dare you steal my lines?!"
"Pfft, someone like you think you can take on three at once?"
Natsu laughed, pointing at Future Sting and Future Rogue opposite him, "Just fighting those two would be tough enough!"
"You really dare to say that. I guess I'll just have to beat you down first." Gajeel clenched his fist.
"Come and try if you dare, you piece of junk!"
"Hehe, as long as it's better than the little flame that lights a birthday cake candle!"
"Damn it! Where did you hear that description?!"
Natsu was the first to break through the defenses, and fiery red magic surged wildly from his body, as if he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Gajeel was not afraid at all and unleashed the same magical power to fight back.
"What, what's going on? Natsu and Gajeel, who are on the same team, are suddenly about to fight?!"
Chabadi cried out, voicing the confusion in the hearts of the audience. Yajima glanced at Makarov, whose lips were twitching wildly in the guild seats, and couldn't help but laugh, "For Fairy Tail, it seems quite unlucky that those two were chosen at the same time—"
Underground ruins and battlefield.
Seeing Nazgajeel start arguing again, Future Rogue and Future Sting felt as if they had been greatly insulted.
It was understandable that no battle broke out between the two sides at first, but now that they have witnessed the power of the dragon, those two guys are still able to act so relaxed and completely ignore them!
"Hey, Roger, just use that move."
Stinger struggled to suppress his anger and said coldly, "They must pay the price for their arrogance!"
In the future, Rogge did not speak, but silently raised his right hand to show his stance through action.
boom!!!
The two simultaneously unleashed their full magical power, condensing a jet-black orb and a holy white orb in their respective palms.
As they collided and rubbed against each other, the two high-density spheres of light gradually merged, unleashing an unparalleled and terrifying storm with their power multiplied.
That requires the complete merging of the two people's will, beliefs, and magic to achieve—
Fusion Magic!
