Chapter 11

The next second, a thick branch-vine, as if alive, lashed out at Gajeel on the window ledge.

Seeing Doranbolt had already launched an attack on Gajeel, the grave-faced Levy immediately moved, preparing to notify the guild members.

Yet before Levy could even step out the door, two deafening crashes echoed from inside the room.

Levy instinctively turned her head, only to see Doranbolt and Warrod collapsed on the ground.

"Levy, hurry, hurry...!"

Severely injured, Doranbolt struggled to lift his head and shouted at Levy.

But before Doranbolt could finish speaking, Gajeel, with a mocking grin, raised his foot and stomped heavily down on Doranbolt.

[7] Gajeel, with a mocking grin, raised his foot and stomped heavily down on Doranbolt.

"Ugh—"

Doranbolt spat a mouthful of blood directly, then fainted dead away.

"Doranbolt!"

Seeing Doranbolt severely wounded, Levy's fair face instantly turned pale.

Meanwhile, Gajeel, stepping on the bodies of Doranbolt and Warrod, advanced directly toward Levy.

"Solid Script: Stone!"

Suppressing her fear, Levy inscribed the English letter for "stone" in the air.

Under Levy's control, the stone-like English letter shot straight at Gajeel.

"Geh!"

Facing Levy's attack, Gajeel paid it no mind whatsoever.

He split his mouth wide, revealing a chilling smile on his face.

Once the stone letter drew near, Gajeel raised his arm and punched.

Gajeel's punch was no ordinary punch.

The instant his fist struck out, his entire arm stretched out like rubber.

In just an instant, Levy's stone letter was shattered into dust.

That was not all; Gajeel's extended arm, without any pause, surged toward Levy.

Watching Gajeel's steel-like fist rapidly enlarge in her vision, Levy immediately swung her arm, preparing to use Solid Script to block.

But Gajeel's attack was too fast; Levy had no time to cast the script magic.

Just as Gajeel's arm was about to strike Levy, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, and with a raised hand, firmly seized Gajeel's extended steel arm.

"Hm?"

This sudden turn of events made Gajeel's expression sharpen.

Meanwhile, Levy, terrified, fell back onto the ground.

Supporting herself with both hands on the ground, Levy looked up at the person who had saved her.

Yet this person had their back to her, so she could not see their face clearly.

Although Levy could not see this person's face, Gajeel could.

"Are you also from Fairy Tail?"

Gajeel retracted his extended steel arm, straightened his body, and asked with a serious expression.

The person who had appeared before Gajeel was, of course, Ye Yu.

To Gajeel's question, Ye Yu gave no answer.

He merely tilted his head slightly and glanced at Levy behind him.

Struck by Ye Yu's cold gaze, the still-shaken Levy immediately reacted.

Without any hesitation, she scrambled to her feet and retreated to the side.

Only after putting some distance between herself and Ye Yu did she finally see Ye Yu's appearance clearly.

Seeing Ye Yu remain silent, Gajeel spat out the steel fragments from his mouth and grinned, saying, "Forget it. Whether you're from Fairy Tail or not, since you dare to get in the way, I'll take you down too!"

With that, Gajeel launched an attack on Ye Yu.

Gajeel shifted his foot, creating a deep depression in the ground, and his figure shot toward Ye Yu like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Once Gajeel reached the space above Ye Yu's head, he grinned, then his steel-forged fist, with the force of a slam dunk, smashed down directly at Ye Yu below.

"Before I acquire the Iron Dragon Slayer attribute, I'll play with you for a bit!"

Seeing Gajeel smashing down before him, Ye Yu thought to himself, then activated the Fire Dragon Slayer attribute he had previously obtained from Natsu.

"Hum—"

As Ye Yu clenched his fist, a wisp of crimson flame instantly rose upon his fist.

Once Gajeel's steel fist drew near, Ye Yu's flame-wrapped fist met it head-on with a punch.

(End of this chapter. Daily request for flowers, monthly tickets, and all kinds of support!)

Inside the room, Ye Yu's fist wrapped in flames clashed directly with Gajeel's iron fist.

Bang—

At that moment, a violent impact sound rang out in the air.

Under the impact of a tremendous force, Gajeel's body was sent flying backward.

In an instant, Gajeel's figure smashed through the wall not far behind him.

After breaking through the wall, Gajeel emerged onto the street outside the building.

Finally, his feet scraped two long marks on the street ground before he stabilized his stance.

"So... amazing!"

Over there, Levy, seeing Ye Yu knock Gajeel flying with a single punch, covered her small mouth lightly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Levy was well aware of Gajeel's strength.

Both Zancrow and Doranbolt were defeated by Gajeel in a single exchange.

But now, this strange man had sent Gajeel flying with one punch.

Seeing this, Levy was naturally shocked.

At the same time, Gajeel, who was crouching on the street, slowly raised his head to look at Ye Yu.

"Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Are you the Fire Dragon?"

Looking at Ye Yu, Gajeel grinned with a face full of fighting spirit.

Although Gajeel had never seen Natsu.

He knew that within the Fairy Tail guild, there existed another Dragon Slayer just like him.

Seeing Ye Yu use Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, he immediately thought of the legendary "Fire Dragon."

Ye Yu naturally knew that the "Fire Dragon" Gajeel mentioned referred to Natsu.

Looking at Gajeel, he said calmly, "I am not the Fire Dragon!"

Over there, Levy heard the conversation between Ye Yu and Gajeel and looked completely confused.

Eh?

What is going on?

Besides Natsu, is there really another Fire Dragon Slayer in this world?

"Never mind, none of that matters!"

"No matter who you are, I will take you down right here today!"

"With my Iron Dragon Slayer Magic!"

Having said this, Gajeel raised his arm.

Instantly, a layer of iron dragon scales covered his arm, resembling a dragon claw.

"He actually grew dragon scales..."

After seeing the change on Gajeel's body, Levy's pretty face immediately changed.

Then, under Levy's gaze, Gajeel moved his foot, and his figure shot toward Ye Yu like an arrow leaving the string.

Gajeel, transformed with dragon scales, was even faster than before.

In just a few breaths, Gajeel rushed to Ye Yu's front.

Without any hesitation, his arm covered in iron dragon scales instantly clenched into a fist and punched toward Ye Yu.

Facing this punch from the enhanced Gajeel, Ye Yu showed no slack either, meeting it with a fire fist of his own.
