Chapter 525

【Thump...】

【A dull sound spread.】

【The floor where Black Natsu stood seemed to have collapsed due to the excessive force, appearing one after another intersecting cracks.】

【Invisible force spread out, like a galloping wind!】

【Gajeel's face still maintained a grin of victory.】

【"Iron Dragon Sword!"】

【The raised right hand turned directly into a huge sharp sword, and around the sword, there were jagged edges.】

【With Gajeel's will, the serrations began to rotate frantically.】

【Like a chainsaw that cuts everything.】

【"Iron Dragon's slash is a sharp slash that can cut through everything."】

【Gajeel laughed wildly, and the Iron Dragon Sword in his hand slashed down toward Black Natsu without hesitation.】

【Glimpsing the incoming Iron Dragon Sword.】

【Black Natsu withdrew his fist and moved his feet backward.】

【Avoiding Gajeel's slash by a hair's breadth.】

【Gajeel, who didn't feel surprised and just thought it was luck, landed the Iron Dragon Sword on the ground.】

【In the moment of causing a loud noise and countless stones flying.】

【He stood firm again and slashed horizontally with the sword!】

【Hum...】

【The rapidly swinging Iron Dragon Sword rubbed against the air, and even sword sounds appeared.】

【Invisible slashes appeared in mid-air.】

【But they were easily dodged by Black Natsu with a ninety-degree backward bend.】

【The sharp slash even shattered the stones that had been knocked into mid-air earlier.】

【Another miss.】

【Gajeel's eyes finally flashed with a trace of astonishment, looking at Black Natsu who stood straight.】

【He frowned slightly.】

【"Hmph! You can dodge well! But... ~..."】

【Without any hesitation, Gajeel raised his sword again and slashed crosswise!】

【"Try dodging this move!!"】

【The sharp blade even drew a blade sound, and invisible sword energy intersected.】

【Shooting out toward Black Natsu who was close at hand.】

【But, for the slash that was enough to cut even steel, Black Natsu just tapped his feet on the ground.】

【Quickly dodging to the side.】

【Swish!!】

【Perhaps the speed erupted in an extreme time was simply too fast.】

【So much so that afterimages were left in place.】

【The next moment, the afterimages dissipated because they were crossed by the slash.】

【Just in this extreme time, Black Natsu had already moved quickly to Gajeel's side.】

【His gaze seemed to have no time to turn back.】

【Gajeel, who noticed the breathing beside him, immediately kicked over.】

【But... the kicked right foot missed again!】

【The disgusting scent appeared behind him again.】

【"Attack increased a lot, speed is good, reaction is also good."】

【Black Natsu, who appeared behind Gajeel, put his hands in his pockets, saying a bunch of words Gajeel couldn't understand.】

【His pupils shrank!】

【Gritting his teeth, the Iron Dragon Sword turned from his right hand was raised.】

【Following the twist of his body, he slashed toward the rear!】

【But, this blow still only hit an afterimage.】

【This time, Black Natsu just moved one more step to the side.】

【Then stood in place, calmly watching his Iron Dragon Sword slash down in front of him.】

【As if not worried at all that the Iron Dragon Sword would hit him.】

【"What's going on? Moves... were seen through?"】

【A trace of doubt flashed in Gajeel's heart.】

【The Iron Dragon Sword that slashed down couldn't be retracted in time, so his left hand clenched into a fist, and he punched out, heading straight for Black Natsu's face!】

【Slap!】

【Unexpectedly, this powerful blow was once again firmly held by Black Natsu.】

【But, Gajeel was not annoyed by this, instead, the corner of his mouth raised a smile contrary to the norm.】

【"Ji-hee! You've been tricked!"】

【Just as Gajeel's voice fell, several protrusions appeared out of thin air on the arm of his left hand.】

【Like small hills protruding on the plain.】

【In less than a second, these protrusions all turned into hard iron clubs and extended out accordingly.】

【Heading toward Black Natsu!】

【A trace of different emotion flashed in Black Natsu's eyes.】

【The next moment, he immediately let go of Gajeel's fist, and his figure immediately retreated toward the back.】

【Gajeel's hidden blow missed.】

【But, it didn't have the effect of being caught off guard.】

【Gajeel was very satisfied.】

【His figure erupted again, rushing straight toward Natsu.】

【"Iron Dragon's————"】

【The Iron Dragon Sword in his right hand had disappeared, turning into a normal human arm.】

【However, at this moment, the arm appeared to change again, dark green dragon scales appeared on the right hand, aiming at Black Natsu and punching fiercely!】

【"Hard Fist!!"】

【Black Natsu raised his hand to block again.】

【This blow hit Black Natsu solidly.】

【The powerful impact made his retreating trend a bit faster.】

【Gajeel pursued the victory, the fingertips of his raised palm pointed at Black Natsu who was constantly retreating.】

【The grin on the corner of his mouth never stopped.】

【"Iron Dragon's Gun Demon!"】

【A dark green magic circle unfolded, and countless iron darts sprayed out from it.】

【The dense attack even shrouded Black Natsu's figure completely.】

【Boom boom boom boom!!!】

【Many darts slammed directly onto the ground.】

【The terrifying roar echoed constantly.】

【This dense attack, the smoke and sand it stirred up, even completely obscured Black Natsu's figure.】

【"It's not over yet!!"】

【Gajeel set up his stance in place, his mouth grew accordingly.】

【Massive magic power began to gather in his mouth.】

【"Iron Dragon's——Roar!!!"】

【Boom!!】

【The roar composed of iron filings sprayed out from Gajeel's mouth.】

【Countless irregular but sharp-edged iron filings rotated and intertwined in the roar.】
