Chapter 146: Irene: This is what I was looking forward to

Sting: "Black lightning?"

Rogue: "It's the same as Orga's."

Natsu: "Orga? Could it be that Orga is also a Dragon Slayer Mage?"

Gajeel: "And a lightning Dragon Slayer Mage? Wouldn't that be the same as Laxus?"

Laxus: "My lightning isn't black."

Orga: "It's not some Dragon Slayer! It's God Slayer Magic, which is even more powerful than Dragon Slayer! Lightning God Slayer Magic!"

Laxus: "God Slayer? Which idiot came up with that brain-dead name?"

Natsu: "God Slayer? I remember that guy I defeated on Tenrou Island also used God Slayer Magic."

Laxus: "In that case, I seem to be getting a bit eager to try it out. That guy named Orga-something, let's have a fight when you have time."

"Let's see if your God Slayer is stronger, or my Dragon Slayer is stronger!"

Orga: "Let's forget about that. You can't possibly beat me right now; after all, you're someone who has been asleep for seven years."

Laxus: "Whether I can beat you or not is something we'll only know after we fight. What's the matter, are you afraid?"

Orga: "Afraid? In the strongest guild, the word 'afraid' does not exist."

"If you have the ability, come and participate in the Grand Magic Games. If you can make it to the finals, you might be able to meet me. Otherwise, not just anyone can come and challenge me."

Laxus: "Grand Magic Games? I don't know what kind of nonsense that is, but since you've said so, don't go crying later."

Orga: "We'll see."

The interlude-like argument quickly vanished, and everyone's gaze returned to the sky.

【The incredibly explosive crimson-black lightning burst across the entire sky.】

【Under the roar of that thunder, countless soldiers felt a fear from the depths of their hearts, and even everything within their sight began to spin.】

【Subsequently, they rolled their eyes back, collapsed straight onto the ground, and fell into a complete faint.】

【Watching this scene, Irene's brows locked together.】

【Her gaze locked onto August.】

【"Is all of this because of it?"】

【Clenching her fists tightly, Irene lowered her head and checked the height.】

【She stepped on the edge of the wall with her right foot and leaped downward!】

【Whoosh————】

【Irene, speeding downward, landed straight into a ruin.】

【Beside her was Natsu, who had just been blown away.】

【"Irene? Why did you come too?"】

【Natsu climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared unblinkingly at the giant dragon wrapped in crimson-black lightning in front of him.】

【"To help you. That guy's strength is a bit more than I expected."】

【Irene helped Natsu brush the dust off his body and then said.】

【Hearing Irene's words, Natsu did not refute.】

【Indeed, the strength of the dragon before them was somewhat beyond expectations, even for one that had just reached the titled level.】

【But compared to a conventional giant dragon, or even the Niru that Natsu had fought last time, the difference was more than just a little bit.】

【It is hard to imagine just how terrifying the Dragon King level, which sits at the pinnacle of dragons, really is.】

【Although Igneel is a dragon of this level, even Natsu has never seen Igneel truly get serious.】

【Presumably... if a monster of that level fought seriously, it would be a scene of heaven collapsing and earth shattering, right?】

【To the extent that it could truly tear the sky and shatter the earth!】

【Throwing the messy thoughts in his mind aside, Natsu's gaze remained fixed on the giant dragon in front of him.】

【After pondering for a moment, he nodded gently.】

【After all, they had been together for several months, and Natsu was very clear about Irene's capabilities.】

【Even before she met him, Irene was able to help Belserion defeat one enemy after another through Additional Magic.】

【Not to mention, what about Irene now, who has undergone several months of devilish special training and has initially mastered Dragon Force?】

【If it were a matter of letting Irene fight a giant dragon alone, even an ordinary giant dragon, Irene would be at a loss right now.】

【However, when it comes to support, no one is stronger than Irene.】

【"Be careful, don't lose your life."】

【Natsu warned with concern.】

【"You're the one who should be careful. You have a much brighter future, don't lose your life here."】

【Irene stepped forward and stood side by side with Natsu.】

【Directly ahead was the terrifying giant dragon shrouded in crimson-black lightning.】

【Beside her was the Dragon Slayer boy she could rely on.】

【The corners of Irene's mouth also slowly lifted.】

【With a voice only she could hear, she whispered:】

【"This is the other half I've always been looking forward to fighting alongside!"】

【"Are you ready?"】

【Irene asked softly.】

【"I can't wait anymore!"】

【Natsu clenched his fists, and brilliant golden flames surged wildly.】

【Scales unique to a dragon appeared wildly on both sides of Natsu's cheeks, then spread along his neck toward his two arms.】

【Until both arms were wrapped in crimson scale armor, completely transformed into dragon claws!】

Watching this scene,

Zeref couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly: "Both palms are covered in dragon scales... Black Natsu's dragonification has deepened again..."

"Then, if that's the case, the other power sleeping in his body shouldn't be willing to be suppressed by the Dragon Force."

Seemingly thinking of something, Zeref's expression also became quite interesting.

"The development of things is increasingly beyond imagination. Black Natsu... what kind of form will he evolve into?"

In the screen.

【Irene did not hesitate either, and the magic power in her body erupted completely.】

【Aiming at Natsu, a huge magic circle unfolded.】

【"Additional Magic: Knight of God! Crown of God!"】

【Knight of God: Can increase all attribute abilities of oneself or the target.】

【Crown of God: Can increase the damage tolerance of oneself or the target.】

【The light of two high-level Additional Magics flickered on Natsu's body.】

【This is the embodiment of Irene's Additional Magic having progressed further in these few months.】

【A high-difficulty Additional Magic that comprehensively improves a person's attack, speed, and defense.】

【Two colors of light intertwined on Natsu's body.】

【It was as if a continuous stream of power was pouring into Natsu's body.】

【Even the flames beside him surged by more than double again!】

【Feeling everything inside his body, Natsu clenched his fists.】

【"Power is surging continuously. Thanks, Irene!"】

【Raising his head, Natsu stared directly at the terrifying creature in front of him, the Dragon Slayer power within him boiling to the extreme at this moment.】

【"Let's go!"】 ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
