Chapter 44: War Between Dragons

[The next moment, accompanied by Belserion’s roar.]

[His massive body charged straight up and became entangled with the three dragons.]

[The war between dragons was not as many people imagined, with various magic spells flying everywhere, explosions resounding, and other flashy things.]

[More of it was hand-to-hand combat!]

[Yes, as dragons, the strength of their bodies was their true weapon. At their level, magic was, conversely, not that important.]

[A brutal hand-to-hand fight, a biting battle, kicked off in everyone’s view.]

[Just like maddened beasts, the four dragons were entangled together.]

[Belserion was worthy of being a titled dragon; even in a severely injured state, he could gain the upper hand for a short time when facing three dragons.]

[Extremely seasoned experience allowed Belserion to find the weakness of one dragon at a critical moment.]

[Under the acceleration of Irene’s Enchantment Magic, he quickly bypassed the biting of Nickel and arrived in front of Haiwei, the sky-blue dragon.]

[Opening his blood-red maw, Belserion bit down on Haiwei’s dragon claw!]

[The immense pain caused Haiwei’s dragon face to twist visibly.]

[His massive right foot kicked frantically at Belserion’s head, attempting to force him to let go.]

[But Belserion relied on his scales, which were several times harder than those of the three dragons, to endure it.]

[His jaw muscles tightened with force!]

[Rip...]

[That was the sound of muscle fibers being torn apart.]

[Warm dragon blood gushed out from Haiwei’s arm.]

[Spraying onto the earth!]

["ROAR!!!"]

[Haiwei let out a howl of unbearable pain, his massive body seemingly trembling!]

["Belserion! Behind you!!!"]

[Just as Belserion was biting the bloody dragon claw, declaring his victory!]

[Irene, on his back, let out a shrill cry of alarm.]

[Discarding the dragon claw he was holding in his mouth, Belserion immediately turned around.]

[The next moment, a strong and powerful dragon claw swung down fiercely, leaving three bloody claw marks on Belserion’s chest once again!]

[Immediately after, magic power began to accumulate continuously on Belserion’s flank.]

["That is a breath attack!"]

[Irene gritted her teeth tightly, her delicate hands gripping Belserion’s scales to avoid being thrown off.] ===== CHAPTER 100 =====

[At the same time, she let out a cry of alarm!]

[Belserion, who had just been scratched by the sharp claws, immediately countered, swatting the dragon that had just ambushed him away with a claw.]

[But the next moment, the breath attack from Nickel came crashing down!]

[This guy had clearly been charging his breath for some time.]

[So much so that the pure white beam was incredibly thick, heading straight for Belserion.]

["Irene, hold on tight!"]

[Belserion roared, then raised his claws to protect his head.]

[BOOM!!!]

[The breath attack hit Belserion’s body head-on, and a massive explosion completely engulfed him.]

[Like a giant firework blooming in the sky, countless sparks showered down onto the earth.]

[And accompanying those falling sparks was Belserion’s massive body.]

[BOOM!!!]

[As his body fell, the earth let out a groan of unbearable weight.]

[Dust on the ground was kicked up dozens of meters high, and countless human buildings were crushed.]

[Debris flew in all directions like bullets.]

["Fire Dragon’s—Wing Attack!!"]

[Watching countless stones flying toward his position, Natsu did not hesitate, gathering flames in his hands and burning all the incoming stones to ashes.]

Hades: "So satisfying. Is this the war between dragons?"

Brain: "Rather than calling them dragons, it’s more like a slaughter between beasts. The massive bodies indeed bring an unparalleled sense of shock."

Jellal: "So, how are humans supposed to fight such monsters?"

Ur: "Indeed, this is simply not a level of existence. In that kind of war between giant beasts, I’m afraid that if a human were even touched, they would be pulverized, right?"

Ultear: "However, I have to say, Belserion is indeed formidable. To be able to fight these three dragons alone while severely injured is already quite remarkable."

August: "I just don’t know if he can still stand up after taking a roar attack head-on."

In the scene.

[The dust in the sky gradually faded, and Belserion’s body gradually emerged.]

[Facts proved that there was indeed a large gap between dragons. Even after taking Nickel’s breath attack head-on, Belserion was still able to stand up.]

[It was just that there was a bit more bright red on his body.]

["Irene, are you okay?"]

[Belserion asked.]

["I am fine... I still have enough magic power."]

[Behind him, Irene’s voice followed.]

[ROAR ROAR ROAR————!!!]

[The fact that Belserion was still alive seemed to have completely enraged Haiwei. The excruciating pain of his arm being torn off almost drove this dragon completely insane.]

[Without much thought, he flapped his wings and, coordinating with another dragon, charged toward Belserion!]

[He wanted revenge! He also wanted to bite off Belserion’s arm.]

[Nickel was also watching all this from mid-air, his brows furrowing in a human-like manner.]

[He opened his mouth again, and massive magic power continued to gather.]

[If one strike didn’t work, then he would try another!]

[But...]

["Fire Dragon’s—Brilliant Flame!!!"]

[A giant fireball flying from the ground also hit Nickel’s head head-on.]

[BOOM————!!]

[The violent explosion forcibly interrupted the magic power Nickel had been accumulating.]

[Shaking his head, Nickel looked toward the source of the fireball.]

["It’s you again! Damn Dragon Slayer!!!"] ===== CHAPTER 101 =====

["Flame warrior?"]

[Irene looked at Natsu, who was launching an attack on the dragon behind her, and couldn’t help but exclaim.]

["Didn’t I tell you to escape first? Why are you still here?"]

[Irene, not understanding, immediately spoke anxiously.]

[Although she didn’t know who Natsu was, the place where Natsu was standing now was the Dragnof Kingdom, and Natsu’s identity was also human!]

[He was a subject of her own kingdom. Irene could not watch her own subject die for her sake.]

["But, you can’t beat them, can you? That dragon is already reaching its limit."]

[From within the flames came Natsu’s slightly youthful voice.]

["Besides, this dragon was my prey to begin with, right? You were the ones who interfered without permission."]

["Ah?"]

[Hearing Natsu’s words, Irene couldn’t help but open her mouth wide. She stared blankly at the wildly burning flames.]

["You just said... that is your prey?"]

[Irene seemed to think something was wrong with her ears. A human...]

[Actually viewed a dragon as prey?]

[Are you kidding me? You’ve got it backward, haven’t you?]

[But Natsu didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining further, instead locking his gaze back onto Nickel.]

[Amidst the raging flames, Natsu licked the corner of his mouth.]

[He had imagined his battle with dragons countless times, and had even briefly clashed with a steel dragon like Metalicana.]

[The power of dragons was undoubtedly already imprinted in Natsu’s heart, but this was not an obstacle to Natsu’s progress.]

[On the contrary, this had always been the motivation urging Natsu forward.]

[And he had worked hard for it until today.]

[He was truly facing a dragon; the moment to verify his efforts had arrived!]

[Natsu clenched his fists tightly.]

[He shouted at the high and mighty dragon: "Hey! Your opponent has been me from the very beginning!"]

["I have already started burning!"]

Makarov: "Here it comes, the signature line!"

Erza: "Sure enough, even if it is Natsu from two worlds, even if they have different personalities, even if they have different experiences."

"But this line still won’t change."

Gray: "I seriously suspect that this line was actually taught by Igneel, otherwise, how would Natsu from both worlds know this line?"

Happy: "But, isn’t it cool?"

Gajeel: "Cool is cool, but it’s obvious that when the Natsu over there says it, it feels even more arrogant."

Sting: "Arrogant? I don’t think so. If you have the strength, why not be arrogant?"

"If I had Black Natsu’s strength when I was ten, I guarantee I would be more arrogant than anyone."

Hades: "However, I have to say, this Black Natsu is indeed a bit fierce. He dares to take on a dragon alone?"

Brain: "Didn’t Irene say before? Dragon Slayers fighting dragons is much easier than us, this is also one of Black Natsu’s sources of confidence."

Ur: "Never mind whether it’s because of being a Dragon Slayer, just this courage is worth praising!"

[Ding!]
