Chapter 72

【With the position where Black Natsu stood as the center! Countless crimson-black thunderbolts mixed with brilliant golden flames rose frantically from the depths of the earth.】

【The massive magic power shattered the already scarred earth, and countless stones were wrapped into the air.】

【The dazzling crimson-black thunder was raging frantically, like one flexible thunder snake after another, wandering on this land, destroying any material it touched!】

【The dragon scales on his body were also increasing, and his cherry-blossom-colored hair stood upward under the crimson-black thunder filling the sky.】

【His pupils were completely replaced by brilliant gold.】

【"Lightning Fire Dragon Mode!!!"】

【The furious brilliant golden flames and the irritable crimson-black thunder intertwined strangely at this moment, and were raging frantically around Black Natsu.】

【The deafening roar was like a dragon roaring!】

【"Dragon?! This guy... how could this happen?"】

【August widened his eyes and murmured.】

【"Dragon Slayer magic, how could it evolve like this? Which part went wrong?"】

【"This damn brat, why can he devour my lightning!"】

【Boom————!!】

【The sound of the earth shattering from the distance.】

【In August’s eyes, Natsu, who was surrounded by flames and thunder, was running toward him at a speed he couldn't understand!】

【That speed... even rivaled lightning.】

【In just the blink of an eye, it was like a crimson-black lightning bolt cutting through the sky, and the next moment, an indescribable heavy punch slammed fiercely into August’s cheek.】

【"Pfft... ugh~~"】

【Even with such a huge body, it seemed unable to stand still, and the dragon’s figure tilted to the side.】

【But August immediately stabilized his figure.】

【His right claw touched his right cheek in disbelief.】

【August blinked.】

【Pain!】

【It was just too painful!】

【Even the crazy combination punches from Black Natsu catching an opportunity before weren't as painful as this punch.】

【This is more than just a several-fold increase in magic power? It’s like another titled dragon is fighting him.】

【Even, feeling the paralysis of the thunder contained in that punch, August almost thought that the other titled dragon fighting him was himself?】

【August, in astonishment, seemed to perceive a sense of crisis again.】

【Turning his figure immediately, he saw the incoming brilliant golden flames.】

【Right before his eyes!】

【The right leg wrapped in flames whipped fiercely toward August’s cheek.】

【Bang————】

【The flames exploded instantly, and countless scattered sparks fell from high in the sky.】

【But, this wasn't over. The moment the flames burned out, crimson-black thunder descended from the sky,】

【And slammed fiercely into August’s body.】

【August swore that this was the first time in his life he had tasted how painful his own lightning was.】

【How high the damage was!】

【"Ugh ah ah~~~"】

【Crimson-black thunder roared, and August, forced to scream, gritted his teeth and slowly lowered his head in the lightning.】

【Scarlet eyes met Black Natsu’s.】

【"Get out of here!!!"】

【He raised his right claw violently, aimed at Black Natsu at this moment, and slapped down.】

【Bang————!!】

【Black Natsu dragged a long tail flame and fell into the earth, causing a violent roar.】

【Just as August was about to press his advantage and lift his huge right foot to stomp down fiercely.】

【He was astonished to find that there was no sign of Black Natsu in the crater?】

【"Damn it, where is that brat?"】

【August immediately turned his head and saw crimson-black thunder shooting out from the earth behind him.】

【August, who couldn't react in time, immediately raised his right claw to block.】

【But, the huge force still pushed him back two steps.】

【Then, the crimson-black thunder flashed again and disappeared before his eyes.】

【Shaking his somewhat numb dragon claw, August’s face looked terrible to the extreme.】

【"Really? Is he that strong?"】

【He looked around, but the extremely fast speed had already made Black Natsu disappear from August’s line of sight.】

【"Damn guy, come out!"】

【The furious August kicked and shattered a tall building not far to his side.】

【Countless rubble and sand were stirred up.】

【But, other than venting August’s 663 anger, it had no effect.】

【Crimson-black thunder flashed again behind August’s head.】

【August immediately clenched his dragon claws, turned around angrily, and swung out immediately.】

【But he swung at empty air.】

【"Do you only know how to hide? You brat!!!"】

【August roared angrily.】

【Immediately after, the next moment, he suffered a heavy blow from behind, and the fist mixed with flames and thunder seemed exceptionally heavy.】

【Even a slight sound of bone cracking came from where August was hit in the lower back.】

【Even that huge body staggered forward a few steps.】

【Scarlet pupils were as deep as a pool of blood.】

【The giant dragon covered his lower back, turned around, and glared at Black Natsu below.】

【But he was stunned to find that Black Natsu was standing not far in front of him at this moment.】

【Stance set, mouth opened, the magic power floating in the air around him began to gather toward his mouth in the darkness with a concentration visible to the naked eye.】

【"Lightning Fire Dragon’s..."】

【Crimson-black lightning was raging frantically around Natsu.】

【Countless brilliant golden flames gathered in front of Natsu.】

【A huge magic circle unfolded along with it.】

【Scale!】

【Even several times larger than Natsu himself!】

【On the earth, countless tiny sand and shattered stones were strangely floating up out of thin air at this moment.】

【As if sucked up by that massive suction force.】

【"Roar!!!"】

【"Roar roar roar roar—————!!!"】

【An incredibly thick brilliant golden flame, mixed with countless crimson-black thunderbolts, shot out at this moment!】

【Its scale was huge.】

【It could even shroud August’s huge body completely.】

【Its momentum was grand!】

【It could even drown out all the howling on this chaotic battlefield!】

【It was as if overwhelming flames and thunder completely shrouded August in the next moment!】

【"Roar————！！"】

【The deafening dragon roar resounded at this moment, accompanied by that unparalleled roar.】

【The roar that resounded in the desperate situation was transmitted to the entire battlefield and to the outside of the sky screen.】

Countless people covered their ears tightly at this moment.

Forced to listen to the loud dragon roar.

Lucy: "Ah ah~~ so noisy!!!"

Levy: "This feeling... is even more explosive than the roar I heard on Tenrou Island before."

Erza: "My ears are going to be ruined, what kind of attack is this!"

Natsu: "Lightning Fire Dragon’s roar... why is mine different from his?"

Happy: "The lightning others absorb is different, and the strength is also different."

Gajeel: "That is the real... dragon’s lightning, I really don't know how the me in that world will win when I meet Black Natsu later."

Wendy: "Yeah, who would have thought that Black Natsu-nii over there was slaying dragons at ten?"

Makarov: "Outrageous! Since I started watching Black Natsu’s videos, the word 'outrageous' has been filling my mind."

"What’s going on with this Black Natsu? Why is he so exaggerated!!"

Hades: "Is this a joke? If it was such a Lightning Fire Dragon’s roar that hit me back then, I would have died directly, right? Really would have died directly, right?"

Brain: "Don't say it, I don't even dare to imagine how the me in that world would face such a monster!"

Jellal: "That, it seems the first strong person Natsu fought was me, right?"

Leon of Lamia Scale: "Uh... to be honest, if we really talk about it, it seems I’ve also fought Natsu."

"Hiss! Black Natsu wouldn't kill the me over there in one move, right?"

Ur: "Uh... probably not, right? What exactly did you do back then?"

Somewhere in a deserted place.

Zeref had already stood up from his sitting posture, his gaze staring fixedly at the sky screen.

Surprise!

For Zeref, this was undoubtedly a surprise.

Zeref had fantasized before whether the demon power hidden within Black Natsu would awaken under the absolute power of the dragon.

However, the facts did not proceed according to Zeref’s thoughts.

But, it gave Zeref another big surprise.

Lightning Fire Dragon mode!

Black Natsu over there could be said to be the first person in that world to create a brand new possibility for Dragon Slayer magic.

The way of fusion!

Moreover, what Black Natsu fused was the crimson-black thunder from the Thunder-Descending Dragon.

This was extremely special thunder, and its power was many times stronger than conventional thunder.

It was precisely because of this that after eating the crimson-black thunder.

Black Natsu’s strength skyrocketed to such a point.

This kind of power, not to mention being able to destroy himself, but it was definitely enough to hurt his immortal body.

And most importantly, Black Natsu over there was only ten years old!

His future still had countless possibilities.

The himself in the world over there might really be able to realize his wish.

That was to die in Black Natsu’s hands.

Of course, so far, Zeref himself didn't want to die. After all, the possibility of lifting the curse had appeared, and Zeref would have to be crazy to continue seeking death.

Staring at the screen for a long time, Zeref couldn't help but shake his head.

Recalling his silly younger brother on his side, Zeref felt a sense of helplessness.

Why, being the same person, is the gap so big?

Black Natsu over there was slaying dragons at ten, while Natsu on this side seemed to be playing house at ten?

In the footage.

【Irene covered her ears tightly.】

【Completely different from the roar transmitted through the loudspeaker outside the sky screen.】

【Irene was truly at the scene.】

【That loud dragon roar even made Irene feel that her brain was trembling along with it.】

【Immediately after, the unparalleled gale, with the position where Natsu stood as the center.】

【Spread frantically toward the surroundings.】

【Irene’s body also began to be overturned toward the back uncontrollably.】

【Above the sky!】

【The two dragons looked at the roar on the ground that seemed to be able to penetrate everything in a daze.】

【Douglas: "Is... is this really something a human can do?!"】

【Belserion: "This Natsu... how many surprises is he going to give me!"】

【"Since that’s the case, I can't fall behind either!"】

【Saying that, Belserion looked at Douglas again, the fierce gaze seemed to be flashing with cold light.】

【Below, the incredibly thick roar hit August’s body head-on.】

【Even that huge body was completely shrouded, in the roar intertwined with fire and thunder.】

【Countless scales began to shatter, and countless bloodstains seeped out.】

【Flames and thunder pushed August back toward the rear.】

【The legs firmly planted on the ground also pulled two long gullies on the earth.】

【August’s face also gradually twisted in the fire and thunder.】

【The roar was still extending, as if penetrating August, continuing to whistle toward the rear.】

【Until it rushed into the sky!】

【Until it shattered the countless cloud layers pervasive in the sky of the Dragnof Kingdom.】

【The sun bloomed with its brilliance at this moment.】

【The roar gradually shrank until it turned into a tiny flame and dissipated with the wind.】

【The dragon roar that resounded through the entire sky gradually subsided.】

【Countless rubble sprinkled from the sky to the earth.】

【Making a crisp, slight sound.】

【Rolling thick smoke rose, and in the air, it seemed that residual heat still remained, as well as tiny crimson-black thunder snakes.】

【The soldiers on the battlefield widened their eyes and opened their mouths.】

【Incredible suspicious sounds kept coming from all over the battlefield.】

【Even those dragons were stunned by it.】

【And... fear!】

【At this moment, the look in their eyes when they looked at Black Natsu not far away seemed to have changed.】

【That is fear!】

【Although not much, but... it did exist.】

【Black Natsu did indeed achieve the point of making dragons fear with his human body.】

【You know, the last person to do this was named Acnologia!】

【Irene pushed away the huge rock pressing on her body.】

【Crawled out of the ruins, looking at everything in front of her in shock.】

【Directly in front, Black Natsu was standing there, and the heavy breathing could be heard even by Irene here.】

【And in the distance, the dragons that were aggressive before seemed to have changed their appearance.】

【Irene could clearly feel that those arrogant dragons were actually shrinking back a bit at this moment?】

【"Are they fearing Natsu?"】

【Irene reached such an incredible conclusion.】

【Further away, August’s huge body was lying there.】

【Completely opposite to the gorgeous appearance covered with lightning patterns before.】

【Charred black covered his whole body.】
