Slap! Slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the sound of slaps, young Natsu slowly came to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, this feeling felt oddly familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time… hadn’t someone also slapped him while he was unconscious? Young Natsu, seeing stars, couldn’t remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get up and fight him again! Itachi haven’t lost yet! I!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t give up so easily! Fight Gray again! Defeat him! I!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult Natsu swung slaps wildly at young Natsu while shouting, his insane actions making everyone lose their composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En sighed and glanced at Erza beside him, his expression peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t I tell them not to interact too much with their past selves? Natsu’s almost beaten his younger self to death! What exactly did I say?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza’s face flushed red—she had just been questioned by her younger self!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had indeed said it—this was all Natsu’s fault for ignoring her completely! He treated her words like wind passing through his ears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being slapped awake, young Natsu looked at the wild-haired, grotesque-faced, snarling, bloodshot-eyed man before him—and was the first to break. He bolted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi idiot! What do Itachi mean calling yourself a monster?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult Natsu bared his teeth, his whole body trembling as if scales were about to sprout; he glared at his younger self with furious disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand what Itachi’re saying! Itachi damned monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his initial terror, young Natsu immediately prepared to strike—but before he could move, Mo En stepped in front of him, facing the grotesque monster head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“M-Mo En-ge?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the much shorter Mo En before him, Natsu’s grotesque expression twisted further—this time from fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En-ge! Let’s take him down together! Kill this monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Mo En appear, young Natsu and adult Natsu reacted completely differently—young Natsu immediately darted out from beside Mo En, smirking triumphantly at the grotesque adult Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi monster—your time’s up!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Natsu spoke, radiating petty triumph; he pointed at adult Natsu as his magic surged rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Dragon’s Broken Fang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames wrapped around Natsu’s hand as he slashed his clawed fist toward the “grotesque monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu had always been fearless and reckless; though he’d been slapped repeatedly by this monster, he was used to it—Erza had slapped him before too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Useless! Idiot! The gap is too great!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing young Natsu’s fierce Dragon Slayer magic, adult Natsu casually blocked it—the blow rebounded, sending young Natsu’s hand swinging backward toward his own throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last instant, Mo En grabbed young Natsu’s wrist, preventing the claw from raking his own neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swollen, grotesque adult Natsu froze in shock—and before he could react, Mo En kicked him square in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult Natsu flew backward and crashed to the ground, but he wasn’t hurt—he immediately jumped up. He’d simply never expected Mo En to kick him; he’d been completely unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell?! Why’d Itachi kick me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he rose, adult Natsu roared at Mo En; staring at this still-juvenile Mo En, he felt a sudden surge of boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been suppressed by Mo En his whole life, never once getting the upper hand, Natsu now couldn’t resist the urge to chuckle wickedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Maybe I can bully the younger Mo En-ge after all! After all, Mo En-ge will never know it was me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adult Natsu thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the chuckling adult Natsu could act, Erza’s iron fist slammed into his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-haired adult Natsu collapsed face-first onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi bastard! What the hell have Itachi been up to?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza, having held back long enough, finally snapped—she kicked adult Natsu twice more, her fury palpable, instantly silencing the once-fierce adult Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the monster being subdued by another monster, young Natsu broke down—he grabbed Mo En and tried to flee with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En couldn’t help but laugh—was this some kind of bloodline suppression?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing his furious future self, young Natsu wasn’t afraid—he dared to swing his fists. But seeing the terrifyingly furious future Erza, Natsu panicked instantly, as if confronted by a man-eating beast, and turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Natsu, go get help! I’ll hold them off—don’t let these bastards enter Magnolia!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En shoved young Natsu forward, sounding urgent—this left young Natsu stunned, then he instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En-ge! Hold on! I’ll bring everyone to help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu shouted as he sprinted off on his tiny legs, racing toward Magnolia to summon reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu wasn’t stupid—he didn’t stay. He didn’t want to hold Mo En-ge back. His attacks were easily blocked, nearly injuring himself—he’d only distract Mo En-ge if he stayed. Better to hurry and bring help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching young Natsu run off, Gray stared blankly, then glanced at Mo En—was he really going to fight his younger self? Could he… win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi bastards Gray! Happy! Get over here right now! And Lucy—Itachi too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gray could decide whether to fight Mo En, Erza had already taken charge—“Fairy Queen” stomped on Natsu’s back, face dark, ordering them all to gather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ef5bc10885785aa1b8645e0233bfe520869f4e363ca63a61a5b79a1638836223","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-69","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-67",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
