Chapter 38

【The steel giant dragon flapped its wings and descended from the sky.】

【Boom————!!】

【The moment its massive body touched the ground, the entire earth seemed to tremble at this moment.】

【Countless dust flew up, but it could not cover the ferocious face of the steel giant dragon.】

Gajeel: "Metalicana..."

Gajeel, watching this scene, couldn't help but lose his focus.

Although Gajeel usually wouldn't show that he was constantly concerned about news of his father, Igneel, like Natsu.

Or even go crazy for it.

But this did not mean that Gajeel had no feelings for his father, Metalicana.

On the contrary, Gajeel cared very much about Metalicana.

But, more because of his own strong personality, Gajeel wouldn't express this emotion of his.

In the end, he was just a child who missed his father.

In the scene.

【The appearance of the steel giant dragon seemed to make the young Natsu freeze in place.】

【He was no stranger to giant dragons.】

【But he had never felt that kind of naked malice coming from a giant dragon.】

【His first instinct told Natsu that this was not a dragon like Igneel, who loved humans deeply, but... one of those that only existed in the stories Igneel told.】

【The evil giant dragons that viewed humans as ants and used humans as food!】

【From those fierce eyes glowing with white light, one could tell.】

【It really wanted to kill!】

【He was really going to die!】

【Tears were already welling up in Natsu's eyes.】

【The biological instinct urged Natsu to escape, but under the overwhelming pressure of the giant dragon, he couldn't move his legs at all.】

【He just stood there, trembling all over!】

Perhaps because of the sky screen.

Almost all the viewers watching the live broadcast of the sky screen seemed to be able to experience the despair Natsu was facing at this moment!

That feeling was like an ant facing a high-level creature like a human.

Unable to resist, unable to move,

Even his life was held in its hands.

When watching Igneel before, everyone didn't have this feeling.

It was more of novelty and surprise.

Now, thinking back carefully, perhaps it was because of the kind side Igneel showed.

That made people think giant dragons were nothing more than that.

However, the moment the giant dragon appeared as an enemy.

Viewers all over the world finally understood clearly.

Facing a giant dragon, how desperate a person would be!

Happy: "Is... this a giant dragon? Why do my legs feel a bit weak even through the sky screen?"

Gray: "The pressure is countless times stronger than Deliora back then... Damn it!"

Ur: "Giant dragon... the ruler of the world in the previous era, is it really that exaggerated?"

Jose Porla: "I really didn't expect that such a terrifying existence still existed in this era."

"My hands are starting to sweat..."

Midnight: "Father? Aren't you a ghost? Do ghosts sweat too?"

Mavis: "Who said they don't? Hmm... at least I do, and I'm already sweating now. This dragon is really scary, boo-hoo~"

Makarov: "The First Master is scared to tears! Laxus, hurry and comfort her!!!"

Laxus: "Me? Are you kidding? I'd rather go dig up Hades' grave than comfort a kid."

Hades: "???"

Zeref: "Mavis..."

An inconspicuous shout was quickly drowned out by the voices of countless people and did not attract anyone's attention.

And at this moment, in the sky screen scene.

【The steel giant dragon spread its wings again, almost blocking out the sky!】

【Immediately after...】

【Roar————!!!】

【Boom————!!!】

【A deafening roar exploded!】

【Violent winds rose because of this, and with Metalicana as the center, the surrounding trees were uprooted.】

【The solid ground was directly flipped over.】

【Terrifying sound waves mixed with unimaginable violent winds swept crazily in all directions.】

【In just an instant, it destroyed everything within a hundred-meter radius.】

【The young Natsu was like a falling leaf in the wind, his small body blown away dozens of meters.】

Quiet!

Dead silence!

The noisy world channel seemed to have fallen into a strange stillness at this moment.

No one was speaking.

Most people kept their mouths wide open, staring blankly at the scene on the sky screen.

Hades: "Was that... just a roar?"

August: "Strictly speaking... that wasn't even a roar; at most, it was just a shout."

Brandish: "A shout? Is this a giant dragon?"

Ajeel: "Are you kidding? Is there really anyone who can defeat such an existence?"

Irene: "There are, indeed, but... what you must know is that the giant dragon in the video is no ordinary dragon."

At this moment, even the usually arrogant Spriggan 12 could not maintain their composure and spoke up one after another.

Makarov: "Fortunately, all of this should just be a test for Natsu. Otherwise, facing such a terrifying giant dragon, I can't imagine how Natsu could survive."

Gajeel: "I remember now!"

Natsu: "What did you remember?"

Gajeel: "It's this thing! When I was a kid, I was really scared by a giant dragon, and that dragon..."

"It seems it was Igneel!"

Natsu: "Then, in that case, this time was also just to scare us?"

"Damn Igneel, when did he become so mischievous!"
