Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Eileen murmured softly, "What exactly happened to that brat four hundred years ago?"

……

……

Within the World Channel.

The moment the name of the Kingdom of Doragunov appeared.

The whole world was in an uproar.

The reason is simple: this kingdom cannot be found anywhere in the current world.

However, there are many people around the world who specialize in and study history.

Hades: "The Kingdom of Dorakunov... How is that possible?"

Brian: "W-w-w, did I hear that right? That country..."

Dark Night: "Father, do you know something?"

Brian: "When I was searching for information about Nirvana, I learned about the power divisions from four hundred years ago, one of which was a kingdom called the Kingdom of Dorakunov!"

Makarov: "Four hundred years ago?"

Uru: "Hey, hey, hey, this joke has gone a bit too far! How did it come to something from four hundred years ago, such a distant time?"

Hades: "But... it is indeed true that the Kingdom of Dorakunov does not exist in our time."

"It only appeared four hundred years ago."

Maldo Gil: "Four hundred years ago... It's a nostalgic time, but they're right, such a country did exist four hundred years ago."

"It is said to be... a country where humans and dragons coexist!"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Makarov stared in horror at Natsu in front of him.

"Four hundred years ago? So that means... Natsu, you're from four hundred years ago?"

Natsu was also completely bewildered: "Huh? Four hundred years ago? How is that possible? I clearly remember living with Igneel when I was little."

"That period of time was at most only a few years. After that, Igneel disappeared, and that's when I met the old man. How could it be more than four hundred years?"

Gray: "Why do I feel like things are getting more and more complicated? Natsu, what's going on with you?"

Natsu: "I'd like to know what's going on with me too, but... four hundred years... isn't that a bit too much?"

As he spoke, Natsu pointed to his cheek: "Look at me, do I look like someone who's over four hundred years old?"

Lucy stroked her chin: "Hmm...it doesn't really look like it...but the sky can't be wrong, right?"

"That's it!" Suddenly, Happy seemed to have thought of something.

His gaze fell on Natsu: "Do you remember the guild wars?"

"Back then, Fried set up a spell that forbade anyone over eighty years old from leaving the guild, so Natsu was unable to leave."

Habi's words immediately reminded Makarov of what had happened before.

That's true. At the time, I thought Fried's spell had a bug.

But now it seems that this wasn't a bug at all; it was practically a hint.

Because Natsu's actual age is indeed over eighty.

Over four hundred years old?

hiss! ! !

A collective gasp immediately filled the guild.

"So, Natsu is actually an old monster who has lived for over four hundred years?"

Natsu: "? What old monster? I remember, Gajeel couldn't get out either?"

As soon as Natsu finished speaking, countless eyes turned to Gajeel's direction.

At this moment, Gajeel, who was biting his cutlery, looked completely bewildered.

"Huh? So... I'm over four hundred years old too?"

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tragedy of an Era, Humans and Animals

The scene continues.

"Eileen Belserion?"

Natsu murmured the name softly, a strange sense of familiarity creeping over him.

[This sounds familiar.]

The woman nodded quickly upon hearing this and said.

"This queen is indeed a responsible queen; it is said that she personally went to the front lines in previous battles."

At this point, the woman couldn't help but sigh again.

"But unfortunately, the evil dragons were simply too powerful. Even with the Queen leading the army in person, they were repeatedly defeated."

"Look, the kingdom's first line of defense has collapsed. It's said that the kingdom is in contact with neighboring countries, attempting to unite against the dragons, but we don't know the specifics."

"But regardless, with the first line of defense breached, this village on the border is definitely doomed. That's why everyone is scrambling to leave, hoping to reach the heart of the kingdom for a better chance of survival."

The woman glanced around at the crowd of people who hadn't yet been evacuated, her tone tinged with despair.

"As for those of us who missed it, we can only leave it to fate."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to catch the next carriage before the dragon arrives; if not..."

The woman didn't finish her sentence, but both she and the elderly, weak, and disabled forced to stay around knew that such an ending meant certain death.

Natsu frowned upon hearing this.

"Just how many dragons were in that herd?"

"Who knows? Ten? A hundred? Nobody knows, but even one dragon is too much for us to handle."

"Didn't you ever think about resisting?"

[Natsu asks another question.]

Upon hearing Natsu's question, everyone present looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Resistance?"

The burly man who had been captured by Natsu earlier curled his lip.

"That's a dragon! An existence that's simply impossible to defeat!"

"It's something beyond human capability. How can you resist? Didn't you see? Even the Kingdom's army was defeated. You should know that the Kingdom's army has dragons assisting them."

Perhaps this is the tragedy of our times.

Under the rule of the dragons, humans are like ants, easily treated as food.

[Long-held beliefs have led them to believe that dragons are synonymous with invincibility; of course, this may indeed be true for ordinary people, and even for mages.]

So far, the only known method capable of harming dragons is Dragon Slayer Magic.

Therefore, this may be a fundamental difference in perspective.

For Natsu, dragons are neither unattainable nor invincible.

However, for ordinary people, the situation is quite different.

Having figured this out, Natsu stopped dwelling on the issue with the people around him.

Just as I was about to ask some other questions about the current state of the human world...

The sudden gust of wind caught Natsu's attention!

[“What’s going on?”]

"Why has the wind suddenly picked up?"

"And the wind was so strong, it came from the sky."

【Heaven? 】

The perceptive Natsu twitched his nose, seemingly sensing something, and raised his head.

His face instantly turned pale.

"Damn it! Are they here yet?"

"My Lord Mage? What's here?"

The woman looked at Natsu with some confusion.

Although Natsu is very young and still a minor, he is a mage!

[They are mages who have mastered supernatural powers, mages who far surpass ordinary people.]

In this era, strength reigns supreme. As long as you are strong, you will not be looked down upon because of your age.
