"Exchange for bounty?" Black Natsu was taken aback.
He then shook his head.
"I'm here to make a deal with you."
He said.
"A deal?" The woman was stunned, as were the others present.
The burly man frowned: "Kid, aren't you being a little too disrespectful?"
"This little devil is our prey. If you want to make a deal, you should at least get our permission, right?"
"There should be rules even in the bounty hunter community!"
Black Natsu, sitting on a tree branch, glanced sideways at the burly man below, but ignored him.
Instead, he looked down at the woman below.
"I'll help you solve these problems, now tell me what book you're holding?"
The woman tightened her grip on the book in her arms warily.
【"I……"】
"Your time is running out."
[Henaz interrupted the woman, then gestured with his eyes to the group of bounty hunters who were now glaring menacingly with their blades drawn.]
"Hey!! You little brat, you're just ignoring what our boss said?"
The third brother, who had just been controlled, was immediately displeased. Being controlled by such a weak demon was already humiliating enough.
[I was seething with anger when I ran into this arrogant young man.]
He immediately burst into angry curses.
"Make a decision quickly." Black Natsu remained calm, his gaze fixed intently on the woman below.
【"I……"】
The woman is experiencing immense inner turmoil!
But the burly man in front was already getting impatient.
"Those two damn guys, might as well just kill them both!"
"You guys go catch that demon, I'll go cause trouble for that brat."
[With the order given, the five men immediately sprang into action.]
Completely ignored, the leader stomped on the ground and charged straight towards the branch where Black Natsu was.
Meanwhile, the other four men also drew their knives and slashed at the woman.
"I...I agree!!"
In the face of crisis, the woman didn't care about anything else and immediately shouted out.
Black Natsu, sitting on a tree branch, smiled.
【"make a deal!!!"】
[The next moment! Henna leaped down from the tree branch!]
Just then, the burly man, who had leaped high into the air, was about to swing his broadsword when he immediately felt a suffocating sensation!
A hand gripped his throat.
Then, a tremendous force struck, and the burly man's massive body was gripped tightly, like a chick.
[And then charged towards the group of four below.]
【"Waaaaah~~"】
His face had turned a deep purplish-red, and the burly man's hands began waving wildly in the air.
But it was no use; Black Natsu grabbed him and slammed him down into the crowd below.
[The next moment!]
【boom------!!!】
A thunderous explosion resounded through the air.
The blinding flames completely obscured the vision of the four people below.
A powerful explosion erupted at the center, creating a gust of wind that even sent a woman who was almost within reach flying.
It traveled a good ten meters before crashing to the ground, rolling continuously.
The shouts from that group have completely disappeared.
The woman, having finally managed to stop herself, braced herself on the floor with both hands and struggled to lift her head.
A sweltering heatwave swept in.
She saw the figure slowly straighten up amidst the flames.
The flames burned, and the boy within them fixed his gaze on the woman.
[“I’ve kept my promise. Now it’s your turn to tell me, what exactly is the Book of END?!”]
Chapter 141 I will follow you until the day I die!
Hades: "The Book of End... has it appeared here?"
Brian: "END? That kind of thing actually exists?"
Ultear: "By the way, what exactly is this END? You all seem quite surprised?"
Uru: "I once saw it in an ancient book; it only existed in legends..."
Gerald: "The strongest demon!!!"
Melty: "What? The strongest demon??"
Lucy: "END is a demon? Or... the strongest demon??"
"The strongest? How can someone be called that?!"
Hades: "To be honest, we don't know either, but I think Hades should know something, right?"
"After all... he's holding that Book of Ending in his hands!"
Maldogil: "Hmph! You mere humans dare to know the details of END? Stop dreaming."
Natsu: "What are you talking about, you idiot? Do you think you're so great?"
Gray: "That's right, he's said to be the strongest demon, but has anyone actually seen END?"
"I've never even heard of it before, okay?"
Natsu: "Agreed! What trash, all they do is hide!"
Igneel: "Um... Natsu... you'd better not make such absolute statements."
Maldogil: "By the way, let me tell you something, human. END... was once an existence that even the Fire Dragon King couldn't destroy!"
Inside the Fairy Tail guild.
Natsu was startled!
"Impossible! Igneel is so powerful... how could he not destroy the so-called END?"
"Even the strongest demon would find it unlikely, right?"
Igneel: "In fact, I did fail to destroy END, but there was a reason for that."
Upon hearing this, Natsu immediately became excited, staring intently at Igneel.
"I knew it. There must be some reason why Igniru couldn't possibly lose."
"Hey, Dad, what is it?"
Igneel: "Hmm... I can't say for now, otherwise it will affect you."
"What is it? Why can't we tell you!"
Natsu was getting a little frantic.
Igneel: "Alright, alright, I said I can't say it, and that's it. At least not now. You're not at a level where you can know all this yet."
"Look closely at the sky; if possible, the sky will provide the answer."
Not wanting to dwell on the issue, Igneru pointed to the sky.
[In the sky.]
[Henaz and the cloaked woman had taken a short rest by a stone bench.]
[Henaz leaped onto the stone block, then sat down, resting one hand on his bent knee.]
[He looked at the figure in front of him and then spoke.]
"My name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."
