Chapter 34

Jose Porla: "This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight, to actually see so many dragons."

"The giant dragons that once ruled the world in the ancient era, who could be called the pinnacle of living beings—I never expected that Natsu would have a connection to so many dragons."

Jellal: "I can only say, no wonder the sky screen is broadcasting things about Natsu. This guy's background is truly powerful."

The three of them complained one after another.

You must know, these three all shared a common point: they had all been defeated by Natsu.

And, they were defeated in a particularly frustrating way.

First was Jellal; during their battle, that guy actually ate the Etherion, activated Dragon Force in a short time, and shattered Jellal's dream of victory in one fell swoop.

Then there was Jose Porla.

Even his strongest persona, Zero, had appeared and had even beaten Natsu to a pulp at one point.

But, just then, Jellal appeared and gave Natsu a ball of golden fire.

And then... Zero was finished.

Immediately after was Hades; as the person closest to the abyss of magic, Hades naturally possessed unrivaled strength.

Even Makarov was easily defeated by him.

But, just when he was fighting Natsu, Laxus inexplicably showed up.

He gave Natsu lightning, and then, the Lightning Flame Dragon Mode appeared.

Hades was also finished.

Honestly, even though Jellal has now turned over a new leaf, he is still not very willing to bring up the time he was taken down by Natsu.

It really wasn't that they were weak; it was just that the opponent's cheating was somewhat outrageous.

Even now, any one of the three could arguably crush the current Natsu.

Therefore, they were not convinced by Natsu.

However, now that they saw even three giant dragons revolving around Natsu.

They suddenly realized that it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

After all, this guy's background was truly a bit strong.

If one day they needed to fight Natsu again, although the three of them could crush the current Natsu with their strength.

But, who knows what kind of nonsense would happen then?

For example, if he just summoned a dragon, how could they even fight?

Jellal: "Anyway, no matter what, I won't be hostile to Natsu anymore. Can't afford to mess with him, can't afford to mess with him. My current goal is still to clear out those followers of Zeref or whatever."

Jose Porla: "I'm already a ghost anyway, I don't care."

Hades: "Mm, same here."

The conversation between the three did not affect the progression of the scene.

In the scene.

【Igneel looked helplessly to the side at the giant dragon, whose body was pure white and filled with a sense of holiness.】

【"Whether it is Natsu, Gajeel, or Wendy, they all need to grow, and growth is never smooth sailing."】

【Listening to Igneel's words, Grandeeney hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.】

【"No, Wendy is still too young now. She is even younger than Natsu and Gajeel, so I don't want her to experience these things yet."】

【"Furthermore, Wendy's own role is not combat, but support."】

【"Grandeeney has a point there. How about we just let Gajeel and Natsu do it?"】

【The Iron Dragon, Metalicana, said in a deep voice.】

【Hearing this, Igneel couldn't help but sigh.】

【"Fine, but Grandeeney, you must understand, we don't have much time left."】

【"Don't worry, I am very aware of that."】

The conversation between the three giant dragons ended here.

But the confusion in their words filled the hearts of the viewers watching the sky screen all over the world.

What exactly were these three dragons planning to do?

What was that business about scaring Natsu earlier?

And also...

What did they mean by 'we don't have much time left?'

Not just the viewers, but even the three Dragon Slayers—Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy—were frowning deeply at this moment.

Vaguely, they had a premonition that this time...

Seemed to have a direct connection to the disappearance of the dragons.

So, what exactly caused the dragons to disappear without saying goodbye?
