Chapter 40

【“Hmm? Nikel, you old cunning guy!”】

【“What a bastard, to act first.”】

【The roars of the other two giant dragons came from behind, but it only made the giant dragon called Nikel laugh even more happily!】

【It ignored the two giant dragons behind it and locked its gaze on Natsu below.】

【“Dragon Slayer! I’m coming! Hahahaha!!!”】

【Boom~~~!!!】

【That was the sound of flames erupting.】

【The laughing giant dragon suddenly noticed the rise in temperature.】

【It raised its eyes in astonishment.】

【Only to see that Natsu’s entire body below was already completely engulfed in flames.】

【The blooming flames continued to rise, and the burning of the flames even emitted bursts of dragon roars!】

【In the flames, Natsu’s eyes were fierce, and piece after piece of scales gradually bulged on his cheeks…】

【He slowly raised his right hand and beckoned to the giant dragon rushing down from the sky.】

【“Come on! You scum among the dragons.”】 ===== CHAPTER 92 =====

“Pfft!!!”

On a desolate hillside, among the three people sitting cross-legged, Jellal spat out the water he had just drunk!

Immediately followed by a fit of coughing.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“What’s wrong with you, Jellal?” Meredy looked at the uncharacteristic Jellal in front of her in astonishment.

It stands to reason that Jellal rarely has such moments of losing his composure.

“Cough, cough… did I see that right?”

Patting his chest, Jellal raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Screen.

“That is…”

A series of bad memories suddenly flooded his mind.

Making Jellal feel as if he had returned to seven years ago, at the Tower of Heaven.

Originally, his plan had been foolproof.

But a boy with cherry-blossom-colored hair broke in and defeated him with all his might.

That boy was undoubtedly Natsu.

And at that time, how could a mere S-Class Black Mage defeat him, a Wizard Saint?

Wasn’t it because that idiot actually ate the Etherion?

Immediately after, he miraculously opened that form and beat Jellal until he couldn’t fight back. And now, Jellal saw that form again!

The exact same form as back then!

“What exactly is it?” Meredy frowned in confusion.

“Dragon Force!”

Ultear swallowed, speaking with difficulty.

In the World Channel.

Hades: “Are you kidding me! That guy popped dragon scales?”

Brain: “Although not many… but that is undoubtedly dragon scales. This guy… mastered Dragon Force?!”

Natsu: “Nani? Dragon Force!!!”

Gajeel: “??? Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this a bit too much?”

“Opening Dragon Force at ten? What kind of monster is this guy!!!”

Wendy: “Dragon Force… wuwu, I haven’t even learned it yet, and Natsu-san from that world learned it at ten?”

Sting: “How is that possible? At this age… how can he open Dragon Force?”

Rogue: “I thought it was ridiculous enough that he learned the Secret Art of Dragon Slayer Magic two years ago, but now he opens Dragon Force at ten?”

Lector: “Sting, don’t you guys know this Dragon Force too?”

Laxus: “Stop deceiving yourselves. You guys rely on Dragon Slayer Lacrima to successfully master Dragon Force, right?”

Lector: “How is that possible! Sting is also a genius. Is it hard to master Dragon Force?”

Laxus: “Hehe, I am also someone who had Dragon Slayer Lacrima implanted. Let me tell this cat who knows nothing.”

“Dragon Slayer Lacrima comes with these skills. You don’t even need to develop or learn them. As long as your strength is enough, you can unlock these skills.”

“But, at the same time, when you lose the Dragon Slayer Lacrima, these powers will no longer belong to you.”

Sting: “What you said is indeed true, but the effect is the same.”

“It’s just… this Natsu-san is indeed a bit too exaggerated. The first person in history to open Dragon Force at ten?”

Although Sting was arrogant, the boy himself didn’t have much malice.

The Natsu of the other world was indeed stronger than him, and he had nothing to argue about.

Irene: “Dragon Force, that brat, is he that terrifying?”

Mavis: “This talent… in other words, Natsu actually has the same talent, but why…”

“Sigh… comparing people to people will only make you angry.”

Makarov: “By the way, has Natsu mastered Dragon Force now?”

Natsu: “Uh… well… sometimes I can use it, and sometimes I can’t. I’ve never known what’s going on.”

Irene: “Dragon Force is the power of emotion and the ultimate form of Dragon Slayer Magic. The black-haired Natsu in the image seems to have touched the edge and can actively open it, but it is not complete.”

“But this is indeed shocking. You have to know that people of that period didn’t even know what Dragon Force was.”

Happy: “The power of emotion? It seems that is indeed the case. Every time Natsu has a huge emotional fluctuation or gets other help, he can open Dragon Force.”

Natsu: “Ah? Is that so?”

Everyone: “…”

Erza: “Sure enough, the gap is huge…”

Zeref: “Natsu, no, the Natsu of that world, maybe he really has a chance! He really has a chance!!!”

【“What is this aura?”】

【The giant dragon rushing toward Natsu in the sky seemed to slow down its dive.】

【Its uncertain eyes stared fixedly at Natsu in front.】

【For some reason, it seemed to feel the power of a real giant dragon on Natsu!】

【“How is that possible! This is an illusion! It must be an illusion!”】

【The giant dragon whispered.】

【The ruthlessness in its heart overcame the previous astonishment.】

【The wings behind it flapped violently again!】

【The giant dragon accelerated and headed straight for Natsu!】

【Clenching his fists tightly, Natsu raised his head, flames burning crazily around him.】

【He stomped his feet hard on the ground.】

【Bang————!!】

【The hard ground instantly shattered into two pits, and Natsu’s feet sank into them.】

【His whole body was slightly crouched, and veins bulged crazily on his fists, forehead, and cheeks.】

【“Fire Dragon’s————Iron Fist!!”】

【Boom————！！！】

【Accompanied by the sound of exploding flames, Natsu shot straight into the sky!】

【His fist, wrapped in flames, was raised high, aiming at the spikes on the head of the incoming giant dragon, and smashed down violently!】

【Boom————！！！】

【The explosion rang out in mid-air, and the spreading shockwave destroyed the glass of the surrounding buildings in an instant!】

【It kicked up sand and dust from the ground!】

【It shook up countless gravel!】 ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
