Chapter 65

【"This is the meaning of my existence, and this is the meaning of the existence of a Dragon Slayer Black Mage!"】

【Natsu raised his right hand and pointed at Augustine!】

【"It is to tell you! The era of dragons has passed."】

【"From this moment on, humans can stop fearing giant dragons, and can stop being timid toward giant dragons."】

【"Humans... have already chased to the feet of you high-and-mighty bastards, and are preparing to pull you down!"】

【Boom————!!!】

【Just as Natsu’s words fell, terrifying magic power rose continuously from the giant dragon’s body!】

【An indescribable sense of pressure filled this hall.】

【The surrounding walls appeared with countless cracks at this moment, the floor shattered with a bang, and even the surrounding air appeared clearly distorted.】

【The giant dragon’s anger was displayed to the fullest at this moment!】

【"Human! Do you know what you are saying?!"】

【"Do you know... how you will die?!"】

Gajeel: "Whoa! Black Natsu’s declaration is very cool!"

Hades: "Of course it’s cool. Didn't you see the eyes of Irene in the footage?"

"Naked worship."

Brain: "However, thinking about it carefully, in that era, it was too unexpected for someone to be able to say such things."

"I admire this kid, Black Natsu."

Mard Geer: "Indeed, thinking from another perspective, I do admire Black Natsu’s courage and spirit, but... in this situation, it has no other effect than seeking death."

Sting: "Agree. Thinking about it carefully, this is not a wise choice, but this sentence is very cool!"

Rogue: "Cool? Perhaps, but soon Black Natsu will face a giant dragon that has been completely enraged. In that case, that 1% chance of victory will also disappear completely."

Frosch: "Fro thinks so too."

Mavis: "Really? I think maybe you guys are still underestimating Black Natsu too much. This child must have his own confidence."

"Let’s wait and see."

In the footage.

【The roar of magic power was deafening, and the giant dragon’s anger even made the entire Wang Gong begin to sway.】

【The two who had just run to the exit were scared out of their wits.】

【Sure enough!】

【That guy who didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth actually really angered the giant dragon.】

【The overwhelming pressure even made their bodies stiffen.】

【The two, wanting to cry but having no tears, were staring fixedly at Natsu with murderous eyes.】

【If looks could kill, Natsu would probably have died thousands of times by now.】

【You say you want to be tough, you want to mock the giant dragon, but don't drag us along.】

【At least wait until we run out before saying it.】

【By then, even if you were torn into eight pieces by the giant dragon, it would have nothing to do with them.】

【But you shouldn't have said these words before we ran out.】

【Isn't this asking us to be buried with you?】

【Countless thoughts flashed through their minds.】

【The next moment, the angry giant dragon didn't give anyone any chance to think.】

【The huge dragon claw was raised in anger, and then slammed down toward Natsu in front of him!】

【The speed was too fast! So fast that only a momentary afterimage appeared in everyone’s eyes.】

【The next moment, a violent roaring sound resounded throughout the hall!】

【Even the Wang Gong shook at this moment!】

【Irene stared blankly at the giant claw falling in front of her, completely covering Natsu’s figure.】

【Everything that just happened was too fast, so fast that Irene hadn't even reacted before the giant dragon’s claw slammed fiercely onto Natsu.】

【Bloodshot eyes spread in Irene’s pupils.】

【"Natsu? Natsu!!!!"】

【"Hmph! A brat who only knows how to use his tongue, dare to try to challenge the authority of a dragon?"】

【Listening to Irene’s roar, Augustine’s heart finally felt relieved.】

【For so many years, this was the first time a human dared to challenge the authority of the strongest creature, the giant dragon, in front of him.】

【And obviously, his end was only destruction!】

【Hum————!!!】

【Abruptly, just the moment a smile appeared on Augustine’s face!】

【The scorching heat rising from under the giant claw made Augustine’s smile stiffen on his cheek.】

【"What... is the situation?"】

【Under the giant claw, faint flames began to spurt out from between the fingers.】

【"Natsu?! Natsu isn't dead yet?!"】

【Irene immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze fixed on the area under the giant claw.】

【Flames! Burning endlessly.】

【Immediately after, Augustine could clearly feel the huge force coming from under the giant claw, pushing against his dragon claw and slowly lifting it!】

【"This brat... is he actually not dead yet?!"】

【Augustine widened his eyes, watching in shock as his giant claw was lifted bit by bit.】

【The flames under his giant claw began to grow more and more intense.】

【"Oaaaaaaaah!!!"】

【Under the giant claw, Natsu, carrying the giant claw which was countless times larger than his own body, slowly stood up from his kneeling position.】

【Veins on his forehead surged crazily, and sweat had long covered Natsu’s cheeks.】

【But, without a doubt, Natsu really stood up under such heavy pressure!】

【Even though his feet had already sunk into the earth.】

【The hysterical roar echoed, and the surrounding flames seemed to be responding to Natsu.】

【Burning crazily and continuously.】

【The flames grew more and more intense, and even the color began to deepen, turning toward a golden color...】

【"Golden flames?" Irene, watching this scene, couldn't help but blink.】

Outside the sky screen.

Jellal also stared fixedly at the golden flames: "That is... Flame of Rebuke?"

Ultear: "Flame of Rebuke?"

Brain: "I remember this flame. Jellal gave Natsu a cheat back then. I still remember it to this day!"

"But... Natsu hasn't eaten this flame now, so why would it appear?"

Jellal: "No, rather than saying Flame of Rebuke is a flame, it’s better to say... it is a true form of will."

Meredy: "Ah? How does a flame relate to will?"

Jellal: "Flame of Emotion, have you heard of it?"

"Or rather... the essence of magic is actually the magic of emotion, and Flame of Emotion brings this characteristic to the extreme."

"And Flame of Rebuke is one of them. I have studied the flames of Natsu’s Dragon Slayer Magic before, and in essence, it is also Flame of Emotion."

Mavis: "In other words, the firmer the master’s will, the more powerful the magic will respond to the master. This is Flame of Emotion."

Jellal: "Yes, and what Flame of Rebuke represents is the will to bear everything that can be borne (sins, hopes, entrustments, etc...), yet still move forward fearlessly."

He stared fixedly at Natsu, who was carrying the giant dragon’s right foot in the sky screen.】

He said in a deep voice: "Without a doubt, the current Natsu is bearing the honor of humanity and challenging the impossible!"

"He is qualified to obtain the power of Flame of Rebuke!"

August: "The courage to... challenge the impossible?"
