Chapter 273

【A pair of eyes stared at the center of the battle, brighter than ever before!】

【The collision continued.】

【The shattering of the earth was also expanding crazily.】

【An unimaginable gale was whipped up from the center of the two's battle.】

【In less than a second, it uprooted all the trees surrounding them.】

【Makarov, who had finally landed, hadn't even had time to steady himself.】

【The oncoming fierce wind blew his small body away.】

【"Damn it..."】

【Watching Laxus being swept away by the gale again not far away.】

【Makarov frowned deeply.】

【One hand grew to a massive size, grabbing Laxus as he flew in the wind.】

【At the same time, he enlarged his entire body.】

【Attempting to resist the terrifying shockwaves erupting from the center of the battle.】

【The Saint Ten cape fluttered wildly after his enlargement.】

【Makarov, braving the gale, could barely keep his eyes open.】

【However, he could hear the hearty laughter coming from the center of the battle!】

【"Hahaha!! This is the feeling! It's been a long, long time since I've fought this freely!"】

【At the center of the battle, the earth-shattering changes all around were not in the slightest bit cared about by Gildarts.】

【At this moment! This strongest Fairy had eyes only for the young man before him.】

【Strong! Too strong!】

【This was almost the strongest opponent Gildarts had encountered in the decades since he became an S-Class Mage!】

【"Gildarts!!"】

【Black Natsu's face was also filled with excitement!】

【This strongest Fairy was truly not called that for nothing.】

【He was truly strong! Strong to an boundless degree!】

Outside the screen.

Countless people were already dumbfounded!

Pair after pair of eyes stared fixedly at the screen.

Watching this battle of the strongest Fairies.

Who could have imagined that it was just an ordinary S-Class Mage promotion trial.

That it would erupt into such a shocking battle?

Gray: "Hey, hey, hey, is this Gildarts?"

Happy: "So exaggerated, both sides are shockingly exaggerated!"

Irene: "These two are both monsters, that Gildarts is almost on par with the Spriggan 12, right?"

August: "More than that! This Gildarts, based on the strength he's shown, could definitely fight most of the Spriggan 12 to a draw!"

"You have to know, he reached this point without the guidance of His Majesty."

Ajeel: "Then... according to what August said, doesn't that mean the Black Natsu in the footage could already rival the Spriggan 12?"

Dimaria: "Hiss!! Do you have to be so exaggerated?"

Irene: "This is no longer a question of exaggeration, that guy, if you count the elemental advantage... I might not even be able to beat him."

Brandish: "Even Lady Irene..."

Zeref: "This is Black Natsu's true potential, and it's still not enough!"

"Within his body, there are still more treasures that haven't been unearthed!"

【The clash of fist against fist was a stalemate.】

【The next moment, both were simultaneously shaken back two steps.】

【But, without the slightest hesitation, the two erupted again.】

【Fist against foot, body against body!】

【Magic against magic, being performed at this moment.】

【Rapid attacks, extreme defense, the hearty and unrestrained battle was also displayed to the fullest at this moment!】

【Boom————!!】

【Another strike, and the two retreated again.】

【Violent flames had been waiting for a long time in Black Natsu's mouth, the moment they retreated.】

【They gushed out!】

【Fire Dragon's————Roar!!!】

【Roar————!!!】

【The loud dragon roar almost scared the magical beasts on the entire island into wetting themselves.】

【Countless creatures looked in terror toward the depths from where the sound came.】

【Their legs for running began to tremble.】

【Gildarts waved his hand, and cross-shaped light rotated in front of him.】

【The terrifying roar that had previously swallowed a wyvern and shattered half a mountain peak was, under that light, gradually crushed into cube shapes.】

【Black Natsu stopped roaring and exhaled a breath of turbid air.】

【"That really is a monstrous ability."】

【"Compared to a monster, you brat are the one who is even more surprising, right?"】

【"Who would have thought that inside you, at such a young age, such terrifying power was hidden?"】

【Gildarts wiped the sweat from his cheek and laughed out loud.】

【"In this battle, I seem to have seen the future."】

【"At the same time, I've also seen your infinite possibilities! Brat!"】

【"In this era, there are too many geniuses, but I am certain that you will be able to stand at the top among this group!"】

【"Thanks for the compliment!" Black Natsu whispered.】

【The tone of his words then shifted!】

【"But, that's not enough!"】

【"Not enough?" Gildarts was stunned.】

【"Yes, just being the best among this group is nothing to be proud of, I have heard of even more brilliant guys, and at that time, it destroyed everything."】

【Black Natsu recounted in a low voice.】

【"It also destroyed everything of mine, therefore, until the step where I can completely crush it!"】

【Black Natsu suddenly raised his head!】

【"I will absolutely not stop my pace!!!"】

【Gildarts seemed to be shocked by those bold words.】

【After a long while, he laughed out loud, very loudly.】

【"I have felt your determination, Natsu!"】

【"As an examiner, there is absolutely no problem in passing you now."】

【"But, I don't think you would end this battle so easily, right?"】

【Black Natsu's chest heaved violently, but his expression was exceptionally high-spirited.】

【He clenched his fists tightly toward Gildarts.】

【"That goes without saying! Come, let's continue the duel, Gildarts!"】

【Even more massive magic power poured out crazily from Gildarts' body.】

【He also simultaneously clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Black Natsu.】

【"Listen well, Zi!"】

【"I don't know how grand your goal is, but to achieve it, you must become someone who can clear all obstacles and move forward persistently!"】

【"Now, I am standing in your way!"】

【"Come and crush me! Then, go become an S-Class Mage!"】
