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

At the same time, a gasp of surprise rang out!

[Having just been scratched by the dragon's claws, Belserion immediately retaliated, swatting the dragon that had attacked him away with a single swipe of its claw.]

But, the next moment, Nicole's breath came crashing down!

This guy has clearly been charging up his breath for a while.

As a result, the pure white beam of light was incredibly thick, heading straight for Belserion.

"Eileen, hold on tight!"

[Belserion roared, then raised his claws to protect his head.]

【boom! ! ! 】

The breath struck Belserion squarely in the body, and the massive explosion completely engulfed him.

Like a giant firework bursting in the sky, countless sparks rained down on the earth.

[And along with the falling sparks came Belserion's enormous body.]

【boom! ! ! 】

[As his body plummeted, the earth seemed to groan in agony, as if bearing the unbearable weight.]

Dust was kicked up tens of meters high, and countless human structures collapsed.

The rubble flew out wildly in all directions like bullets.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!!"

Seeing countless stones flying towards him, Natsu didn't hesitate for a moment. He gathered flames in his hands, which swept across the sky and burned all the incoming stones to ashes.

Hades: "That was exhilarating! Is this what war between dragons looks like?"

Brian: "It's less like dragons and more like a battle between wild beasts. Their enormous size certainly brings an unparalleled sense of awe."

Gerald: "So, how exactly are humans supposed to fight against monsters like this?"

Uru: "Indeed, these are not even in the same league. In a war between those behemoths, a single encounter would probably pulverize a person."

Ultear: "However, I must say, Belserion is indeed formidable. To fight against these three dragons alone while severely injured is quite remarkable."

August: "I wonder if it can even get back up after taking a direct hit from a roar?"

on the screen.

The sandstorm gradually subsided, and Belserion's figure slowly emerged.

[As it turns out, there is indeed a significant difference between dragons; even after taking a direct hit from Nicholl's breath, Belserion was still able to stand up.]

[Only the crimson on his body was now even more pronounced.]

"Eileen, are you alright?"

[Bercélion inquired.]

"I'm fine... I still have enough magic."

[Behind them, Eileen's voice came.]

【Roar! Ro ...

The fact that Bercelion was still alive seemed to have thoroughly enraged Hayway; the excruciating pain from his torn arm was almost driving the dragon to madness.

Without much thought, it flapped its wings and, together with another dragon, charged towards Belserion!

It seeks revenge! It will bite off Belserion's arm as well.

Nicole watched all of this from mid-air, her brow furrowing in a human-like manner.

It opened its mouth again, and immense magical power continued to gather.

If one strike fails, then strike again!

【but……】

"Fire Dragon's Blazing Flame!!!"

The massive fireball hurtling through the air struck Nicole squarely on the head.

【boom----!!】

The violent explosion abruptly interrupted Nicol's accumulation of magical power.

Shaking his head, Nicol looked towards the source of the fireball.

"It's you again! You damned Dragon Slayer Mage!!!"

Chapter Fifty-Five: I've Started to Burn

"A Flame Warrior?"

[Irene gasped in surprise as she watched Natsu attack the dragon behind her.]

"Didn't I tell you to escape first? Why are you still here?"

[Confused, Eileen immediately spoke up anxiously.]

Although we don't know who Natsu is, the place where Natsu is standing now is the Kingdom of Dragunov, and Natsu is human!

[These are her own people; Eileen cannot bear to watch them die for her sake.]

"But you can't beat it, can you? That dragon is almost at its limit."

[From within the flames came Natsu's slightly childish voice.]

"Besides, this dragon was originally my prey. You interfered without my permission, didn't you?"

【"ah?"】

Hearing Natsu's words, Irene's mouth dropped open. She stared blankly at the wildly burning flames.

"You just said...that was your prey?"

[Eileen seems to think there's something wrong with her ears; a human...]

[They actually see dragons as prey?]

【Are you kidding me? You've got it backwards!】

However, Natsu didn't seem inclined to explain further, instead refocusing his attention on Nicole.

Amidst the raging flames, Natsu licked his lips.

I've fantasized countless times about battling dragons, and I've even briefly clashed with a steel behemoth like Medalicana.

The dragon's power had undoubtedly been imprinted in Natsu's mind, but this was not an obstacle preventing him from moving forward.

On the contrary, this has always been the driving force that propels Natsu forward.

And they have been working towards this goal until today.

He has truly faced the dragon; the moment of truth has arrived for his efforts!

Natsu clenched his fist tightly.

He shouted at the towering dragon, "Hey! Your opponent has always been me!"

"I'm already burning up!"

Makarov: "Here it comes, here it comes, the signature line!"

Erza: "As expected, even though they are from two different worlds, even though they have different personalities and different experiences."

"But this statement remains unchanged."

Gray: "I strongly suspect that Igneel actually taught him this phrase, otherwise, how could Natsu from both worlds know it?"

Happy: "But isn't it cool?"

Gajeel: "It's cool, but when Natsu says it, it sounds more arrogant."

Sting: "Arrogant? I don't think so. If you have the power, why not be arrogant?"

"If I had Haku's strength when I was ten years old, I guarantee I would be more arrogant than anyone else."

Hades: "However, I must say, this Black Natsu is indeed quite fierce. Does he dare to take on a dragon all by himself?"

Brian: "Didn't Irene say before that Dragon Slayers would have a much easier time fighting dragons than us? That's one of the reasons why Black Natsu is so confident."

Uru: "Regardless of whether it's because you're a Dragon Slayer Mage, your courage alone is admirable!"
