Chapter 399

Obviously,

Compared to going through war and pain, and a series of past events, their trust in Aizen was no less than that in their own companions.

They would absolutely not be fooled by a few words from Precht.

But just as Erza and the others were so certain, Precht's next words thoroughly shook their firm confidence.

"Since that's the case, then…"

"Do you know the true secret of the 'Great Will' fragment?"

"I'm afraid they wouldn't dare tell you a secret shocking enough to stun the whole world either—what a selfish bunch."

Even when

……

Hearing this, Lucy was slightly stunned, her face showing surprise as she said: "The true secret of the 'Great Will' fragment."

"Could it be that you know the true secret of the 'Great Will' fragment?!"

"Hey! Lucy!"

Before Precht could answer, the resolute Erza quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Hey, Lucy, don't listen to the enemy's words!"

"17 Especially him, this guy who betrayed Fairy Tail, is even less worth trusting!"

"Enough nonsense!"

And at this moment, Natsu was as irritable as ever. Especially upon hearing Precht question the people he trusted, his already furious heart could no longer tolerate it.

Circulating his magic power, gathering it in his mouth, he erupted with scorching flames

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Rumble rumble—!

Magic power burst forth, flames blanketing the sky as they madly rained down on Precht.

After several wars, Natsu's strength had also improved, even greater than his original counterpart at the same period.

This point was completely different from the small-fry subjugation actions in the original work.

This was the baptism of war—blood and pain, the sorrow of life and death, and the most real experience of all.

Likewise, such emotions were also the most capable of stimulating a Dragon Slayer's power, and he felt how insignificant his own strength was.

After that, Natsu also underwent a period of special training to raise his strength.

Driven by fury, Natsu's power had already crossed over to a new layer; whether in physical technique or magic power, both had seen tremendous improvement.

However, although Natsu's strength had indeed improved, compared to Precht who possessed the Devil's Eye, it was still not enough—far, far from enough.

Although he had lost to the two-star Hu Zi, the battle itself had gone to the very end, and Hu Zi's power had already been drained to the extreme—Precht had merely lost by a narrow margin.

"Amaterasu Twenty-Eight Forms!"

His right hand rose, index and middle finger pressed together, a white orb of light glimmering at the fingertip, tracing out spell formations in the air.

The next second, several dark-purple magic circles rose up, surrounding Precht like walls, and with the greatest of ease deflected Natsu's attack.

That said, Precht did not rush to counterattack, but instead looked at Natsu and continued speaking.

"An impetuous brat, wrapped up in a cocoon without knowing a thing, still fighting for them—truly pitiful."

"Cut the crap! If you want to fight, then fight; if you want to battle, then battle!"

Precht might have no intention to strike, but that did not mean Natsu felt the same,

If one strike failed, then came the second, the third… until the opponent was defeated!

However!

"Stop, Natsu."
