Chapter 148: Crimson-black lightning, things are starting to get interesting

【The sky had completely darkened.】

【Crimson-black lightning filled the space between heaven and earth, and the aura unique to a giant dragon permeated this battlefield.】

【On the scarred earth, countless small flames were still burning, rising into rolling thick smoke, making the already dark sky even dimmer.】

【Just by watching this scene, one could feel the despair rushing toward them!】

Brain: "Hey, hey, hey... are you really going to charge up there?"

"No matter how you look at it, this is not a battle of the same level!"

Hades: "Indeed. At the beginning, we even thought there might be a slight possibility of winning, but..."

Ultear: "But when the giant dragon truly displayed that terrifying power pushed to the extreme... I simply couldn't imagine how Black Natsu could win."

Ur: "Don't forget, there is also Irene's support. At least it could increase the winning rate a bit, right?"

Sting: "Impossible. A 0% winning rate, even if increased by a few percent, is still zero."

"For Black Natsu to challenge a titled giant dragon at his current level is ultimately too early."

Zeref: "Watch. Black Natsu's growth speed has even exceeded my imagination."

"That potential hidden within him, which no one can imagine, might just... be displayed here!"

August: "Potential that no one can imagine... I'm really looking forward to it!"

In the screen.

【Endless lightning descended from the sky, and the thick lightning only needed to touch the ground.】

【To trigger a huge explosion.】

【That was almost a blanket-style indiscriminate bombing; hundreds of lightning bolts almost shrouded the entire area of several hundred meters around the giant dragon.】

【Countless explosions were resounding, and countless crimson-black lightning bolts were flickering in the air.】

【Black Natsu, whose body was wrapped in brilliant golden flames, was running wildly in the lightning domain.】

【His keen senses even allowed Black Natsu to dodge the lightning striking toward him in a very short time.】

【Boom, boom, boom, boom————!!!】

【Countless explosions resounded around Black Natsu, and the shockwave raised blew Black Natsu's cherry-blossom-colored hair.】

【In the endless lightning domain, Black Natsu dodged and shifted, constantly avoiding the incoming lightning, just like a keen monkey.】

【In a very short time, he crossed a distance of over a hundred meters.】

【Appearing in front of August.】

【Crimson explosive flames were constantly gathering on Black Natsu's right fist.】

【This time, with Irene's blessing, it was several times more intense than the flames that had hit August before!】

【Veins bulged on Black Natsu's forehead, and clenching his teeth tightly, he used the air wave raised by the explosion not far behind him to leap up!】

【"Fire Dragon's————"】

【His fist was raised high, aimed at August below.】

【"I won't give you any more chances to hit me, brat!!!"】

【August opened his hideous giant mouth toward Natsu.】

【Sharp fangs flashed with cold light under the reflection of Natsu's flames.】

【Massive crimson-black lightning began to gather toward the giant mouth.】

【Seeing this scene, Natsu's pupils shrank sharply!】

【"No time!"】

【Such a thought flashed through his mind. The next moment, Natsu's raised fist stopped charging and slammed straight toward August with furious flames.】

【Crushing Fist!!!】

【A fist even more powerful and heavier than the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist.】

【It is an evolved version of the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, blessed with Dragon Force!】

【The fist wrapped in huge flames fell with a bang, but!】

【The giant dragon's breath also gathered quickly at this moment, and the crimson-black breath was sprayed out!】

【Boom, rumble————!!!】

【The thundering sound that resounded through the entire sky exploded!】

【That was a massive lightning pillar with a diameter of over ten meters.】

【The crimson-black light even swallowed all of Black Natsu's flames, and with an irresistible force, it slammed fiercely onto Black Natsu's body!】

【"Ugh~~"】

【Black Natsu's body was directly sent flying by that terrifying lightning strike.】

【Boom, rumble!!!】

【An incredibly thick crimson-black lightning bolt streaked across the pitch-black sky.】

【Falling toward the distance!】

【The next second...】

【Boom————!!!】

【With the area where the lightning fell as the center, a huge explosion covering a diameter of several tens of meters rose at this moment!】

【Countless cracks spread out on the earth, like a spider web, extending wildly toward the surroundings.】

【Strong air waves swept through everything around, and even in the air, countless tiny lightning flowers appeared and swam due to the high concentration of ions.】

【"Natsu?"】

【Irene behind covered her mouth in horror, her pupils trembling as she looked at the direction of the explosion.】

【Rolling air waves carrying countless sand and gravel swept toward this side.】

【Irene crossed her hands to protect herself, her crimson long hair flying wildly in the gale.】

【It wasn't until a long while later that it gradually stopped.】

【Irene couldn't care about the flames still burning over there, or the large number of ions traveling in the air.】

【The moment the gale stopped, she immediately ran toward the direction of the explosion.】

【"Natsu! Natsu!!"】

【After crossing countless gravel ruins, what came into Irene's eyes was a huge deep pit tens of meters long and over five meters deep.】

【And Black Natsu was lying in that deep pit at this moment.】

【He was slowly pushing away the stones pressing on him, his whole person looking a bit withered.】

Sting: "Sure enough, the gap is too big. However, it is indeed shocking that Black Natsu could take this breath head-on."

Natsu: "Damn it, will the me in that world really die in this war?"

Gajeel: "It shouldn't be possible. Igneel is still around at this time; it shouldn't let Natsu die just like that."

Wendy: "I think it should be the same. If Igneel takes action, then this Thunder-Descending Dragon definitely won't win, right?"

Natsu: "That's for sure. Igneel is the strongest dragon!"

Gildarts: "Strongest dragon? That might be a bit of a stretch?"

"After all, there is still Acnologia."

Makarov: "That's true. However, as a Dragon King, Igneel should have no problem killing a dragon like August, who just obtained a title, in seconds, right?"

【In the screen, Irene helped the fallen Black Natsu up.】

【Black Natsu's situation is not optimistic right now; his whole body is full of charred blackness after the lightning strike.】

【His feet are a bit stiff due to paralysis.】

【The violent flames that were originally wrapped around him are now only left with a few scattered ones still burning stubbornly.】

【"Natsu, are you okay?"】

【Irene looked Black Natsu up and down, her eyes filled with deep worry.】
