"This is the meaning of my existence, and this is the meaning of the existence of a Dragon Slayer Mage!"
Natsu raised his right hand and pointed at Augustine!
"This is to tell you! The age of dragons is over."
"From this moment forward, humanity can stop fearing dragons and stop being afraid of them."
"Humans... have caught up to you arrogant bastards and are ready to drag you down!"
【boom----!!!】
[The moment Natsu finished speaking, terrifying magical power surged forth from within the dragon's body!]
An indescribable sense of oppression permeated the hall.
The surrounding walls cracked in countless ways, the floor shattered with a deafening roar, and even the air around them appeared visibly distorted.
The dragon's wrath was on full display at this moment!
"Human! Do you know what you're saying?!"
[“Do you know...how you’re going to die?!” Again.]
Chapter Seventy-Five: Golden Flames!
Gajeel: "Wow! Hyunatsu's declaration was pretty cool!"
Hades: "Of course he's handsome! Didn't you see Eileen's eyes in the picture?"
"Naked worship."
Brian: "However, upon closer reflection, it is indeed quite unexpected that someone could say such a thing in that era."
"I admire that kid, Honatsu."
Maldogil: "Indeed, if I put myself in his shoes, I admire Honatsu's courage and boldness, but... in this situation, he has no other purpose than to seek death."
Sting: "Agreed. On second thought, it wasn't a wise choice, but that line was really cool!"
Rogue: "Is it cool? Maybe, but what Honez will be facing later is a dragon that has been completely enraged. In that case, that one percent chance of victory will be completely gone."
Frosty: "Flo thinks so too."
Mavis: "Really? I think you might be underestimating Black Natsu. This kid definitely has his own reasons for being confident."
"We'll see."
on the screen.
The deafening roar of magic, fueled by the dragon's fury, caused the entire palace to tremble precariously.
The two people who had just reached the exit were terrified.
【really! 】
That arrogant fool actually angered the dragon.
The overwhelming pressure even made their bodies stiffen.
The two, on the verge of tears, were staring intently at Natsu with murderous intent.
If looks could kill, Natsu would probably be dead a thousand times over by now.
You say you want to show off, you want to mock the dragon, but don't drag us into it.
At least wait until we're out of there before you talk to us.
[At that time, even if you are torn into eight pieces by the dragon, it will have nothing to do with them.]
But what you shouldn't have done, what you absolutely shouldn't have done, was say those words before we even got out of there.
Isn't this asking us to be buried with you?
Countless thoughts flashed through their minds.
The enraged dragon gave no one a chance to think.
The enormous dragon claw angrily rose, then slammed down towards Natsu!
The speed was too fast! So fast that it only appeared as a fleeting afterimage in everyone's eyes.
The next moment, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire hall!
Even the royal palace trembled at that moment!
Irene stared blankly as the giant claw descended before her, completely engulfing Natsu's figure.
Everything happened so fast, so fast that Irene didn't even have time to react before the dragon's massive claw slammed into Natsu's body.
Bloodshot veins filled Eileen's eyes.
"Natsu? Natsu!!!"
"Hmph! You little brat who only knows how to talk, dare to challenge the authority of the dragon?"
Hearing Eileen's screams, Augustine finally felt a sense of relief.
This is the first time in all these years that a human has dared to challenge the authority of the strongest creature, the dragon, right to their face.
And it's obvious that his only fate is destruction!
[Buzz—! ...
[Suddenly, just as a smile spread across Augustine's face!]
The scorching heat rising from beneath the giant claws froze Augustine's smile on his face.
"What... is going on?"
Beneath the giant claw, faint flames began to flicker from between its fingers.
"Natsu?! Natsu isn't dead yet?!"
Eileen immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on the giant claw beneath.
[The flames! They burn eternally.]
Immediately afterwards, Augustine could clearly feel the immense force emanating from beneath the giant claw, slowly lifting it up against the dragon's grip!
"This brat... he's still alive?!"
Augustine stared wide-eyed in horror as his giant claw was slowly lifted.
The flames beneath its massive claws began to intensify.
"Oh my god!!!"
Beneath the colossal claw, Natsu, carrying a claw many times larger than his own body, slowly rose from a kneeling position.
Veins bulged wildly on Natsu's forehead, and beads of sweat covered his cheeks.
But without a doubt, Natsu truly stood up under such immense pressure!
Even though both feet were already embedded in the ground.
The hysterical screams echoed, and the surrounding flames seemed to respond to Natsu.
It's burning wildly and relentlessly.
The flames grew stronger, and even their color deepened, turning a golden hue...
"Golden flames?" Even Eileen, watching this scene, couldn't help but blink.
Outside the sky.
Gerald stared intently at the golden flame: "Isn't that... the Flame of Punishment?"
Ultear: "Flame of Punishment?"
Brian: "I remember this flame. It's the power-up that Jellal gave Natsu back then. I still remember it to this day!"
"But... Natsu hasn't experienced this flame before, so why is it appearing?"
Gerald: "No, rather than the Flame of Punishment being a flame, it is more like... a true expression of will."
Melty: "Huh? Flames are related to willpower in this way?"
Gerald: "The Flame of Emotion, have you ever heard of it?"
"Or rather... the essence of magic is actually the magic of emotions, it's just that the flame of emotion has brought this characteristic to its extreme."
"And the Flame of Punishment is one of them. I have studied Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic flames before, and in essence, they are also the Flame of Emotion."
Mavis: "In other words, the stronger the master's will, the stronger the magic will respond to the master. This is the Flame of Emotion."
Gerald: "Yes, and the Flame of Punishment represents the will to carry everything that can be carried (sins, hopes, reliance, etc.) and still move forward fearlessly."
He stared intently at Natsu, who was carrying the dragon's right leg, in the sky.
He said in a deep voice, "Without a doubt, Na3.2z now carries the honor of humanity and is challenging the impossible!"
"He is qualified to obtain the power of the Flame of Punishment!"
August: "The courage to challenge...the impossible?"
