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

"As for rumors and such... that can only be described as people on the continent of Ishgar simply repeating what they hear."

Natsu: "I don't care about any of that, but... what's with this surname?"

"Zeref, why are you also called Dragneel?!"

Gray: "Is it a coincidence?"

Erza: "That kind of surname shouldn't be possible, right?"

Zeref: "Natsu, you should stop being curious about these questions for now. You'll know when you're strong enough. Knowing now will only disturb your mind."

"It makes you lose your focus on training. Just look at Natsu over there, and you'll see just how big the gap is."

"She's clearly so talented."

Natsu: "??? What the heck? Even you're criticizing me now?"

Jelf: "You... sigh, I'd better answer the questions first, time's almost up."

Jelf clearly had no intention of dwelling on this.

Instead, they turned their attention to the sky.

Indeed, half of the time allotted for answering questions has already passed, and failing to answer will be considered a forfeit.

No one wanted to give up such an opportunity, not even Jelf.

Looking at the answers above, Jelf remained silent for a moment.

He chose what he considered the most conservative answer.

Zeref: "I'll choose A. After all, while Black Natsu is strong now, it's still a bit of an exaggeration for him to slay a dragon. Being able to achieve a draw is already quite impressive."

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A One-on-One Battle Between Man and Dragon

Emerald: "A... I don't know much about this Mr. Black Natsu, or even the strength of a mage."

"But since even the legendary dark mages think so, I'll choose A too."

"After all, a monster that has lived for four hundred years should not be wrong in this regard."

Jade made its choice, and then the next three followed suit.

Four-headed Hound, Goldman: "Hmm... I still think it would be difficult for Black Natsu to slay a dragon right now, but based on the previous situation, Black Natsu should be able to damage the dragon, so I'll choose A."

Hades: "Seriously, after all these times, don't you understand yet?"

"That kid Black Natsu's main strength is his ability to catch people off guard. Even his father, the Fire Dragon King Igneel, couldn't accurately predict his strength. You'd better not underestimate him."

Brian: "So what do you think we should choose?"

Hades: "What to choose? If it were me, I'd go for this exaggerated style. This guy seems to be born to be exaggerated."

"Wasn't it like this the time before?"

"Who among you could have imagined that he could learn the breathing technique after just one look, and master its profound secrets in just a few months?"

Hades' words are indeed correct.

Judging from his previous performances, this Honatsu has indeed surprised everyone.

Ultear: "I also think that this Black Natsu might actually be able to slay a dragon."

Eileen: "Hmm, I think so too. To be honest, this dragon isn't actually that strong. If it were Black Natsu, he might actually be able to do it."

Melty: "Gerald, don't hesitate, make your choice quickly, time is almost up."

Gerald: "Well... why don't you guys decide?"

Ultear: "Then, let's choose D and take a gamble."

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Mavis's thought form has arrived here from Sirius Island.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the guild, Mavis picked up the answer sheet in her hand.

“Let’s choose D. Trust Black Natsu over there,” Makarov said.

Mavis nodded slightly: "Let's bet. I also have high hopes for Black Natsu over there."

This is the end.

The answers chosen by the five respondents have been determined.

The images on the celestial screen continued to play.

Nicole also seemed unable to tolerate Natsu's repeated provocations.

As a dragon, it possessed its own arrogance, and humans were never something it valued.

But today, not only was I injured by a human, but I was also repeatedly provoked.

[If that human isn't killed, where will Nicol's dragon face be displayed?]

Without hesitation, the giant dragon soaring through the sky roared and charged madly towards Natsu.

The piercing roar was like the bugle call signaling the start of a battle.

The two other dragons, also enraged, charged straight at Belserion.

"Eileen, hold on tight!"

Belserion's deep voice drew Irene's gaze away from Natsu.

"Let's go then, that's the only way. Hopefully, that guy can hold out until we defeat these two dragons."

Now, even Irene was at a loss. She could only do her best to help Belserion kill the two giant dragons before she could help Natsu.

The battle begins now!

[Here, the three giant dragons were tearing at each other fiercely, and a fierce battle ensued.]

The dragon's roar continued unabated!

However, without Nicol's participation, it's clear to anyone with eyes that these two dragons, who don't even have titles, are...

Even when facing the injured Xianlong, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.

The true nature of power is still too far beyond our comprehension.

The evil dragons, who had previously held the advantage with their three-on-one advantage, were now being suppressed by Belserion.

The overwhelming pressure even caused Haiwei, who had lost an arm, to cry out in agony.

[With another swipe of its claw, Haiwei was sent flying dozens of meters, his head becoming somewhat blurry.]

Shaking his head, Hevy realized a fact: without Nicole, he and the other dragon simply couldn't defeat Belserion!

"Damn it...why wasn't he killed in that war?"

After muttering a complaint under his breath, Hayway immediately turned to Nicole for help.

"Nick... huh?!?"

But, just as it turned its gaze in Nicole's direction...

The words that were about to come out immediately turned into a surprised and bewildered exclamation!

What did it see?!

A giant dragon! Completely outmaneuvered by a human?!

[Boom boom boom————]

[A series of explosions resounded across Nicole's massive body!]

At this moment, the anger in Nicole's eyes was almost reaching its peak!

That damn little brat actually climbed onto my body and is jumping around on my skin like crazy, causing all sorts of destruction!

【boom! ! 】

[Another massive explosion struck his back, the pain nearly driving Nicole mad.]

The enormous dragon claw, as large as a fan, slammed down hard on his back.

【Bang----!!】

A dull thud followed, but aside from the pain of slapping himself, Nicole didn't feel like he'd actually hit Natsu.

Immediately afterwards, an itching sensation spread across my neck.

[It's Natsu! He's currently running frantically, grabbing the scales on his neck with both hands and feet.]

"Damn ants! Get down here!!!"

Enraged, Nicole swung his hand again, striking his own neck.

However, the agile Natsu anticipated this perfectly, leaping into the air to dodge Nicole's strike.

Furthermore, the flames in its mouth continued to build up.

"The fire dragon's roar!!!"
