“Okay.” Jura nodded with a smile.

The battle continues.

The dragons felt outnumbered. Although their defenses hadn't been breached yet, the constant buzzing of mosquitoes around their ears was making them feel like they had high blood pressure.

So a giant dragon laid down many eggs, from which terrifying mechanical dragons were born.

The majority of human forces were thus tied down.

Without the support of their teammates, the main attackers were at a huge disadvantage.

The situation is getting worse.

"It would be difficult to deal with just one dragon."

"Is there no way for us to defeat them?"

"The Dragon Slayers don't seem to have achieved any effective results either."

The mages were somewhat disheartened.

At this time-

"what--"

Natsu roared.

His breath was very long, and the more he spoke, the more it sounded like a dragon's roar.

"Damn it!" Kebra's expression changed, and he quickly covered his ears: "What is that fire dragon roaring about!"

His hearing is extremely sensitive, meaning he can hear things from a distance. If the distance is too close, he could easily be knocked unconscious by Natsu's roar.

What's the point of fear and running away?

Natsu roared.

Will retreating and despair allow you to survive?

"Even if we survive, so what? We can't stop these thirteen guys. In just a few days, the human world will be destroyed!"

"Where can you possibly hide to?!"

"Put away your fearful expression and sorrowful tears—"

"Show us the pride of humanity's four hundred years of dominance over this era!"

"Fight them!"

"The human spirit—"

"Never give up!"

"Oh—" All the mages were spurred on by Natsu, and no longer afraid or confused, they attacked the mechanical dragon frantically.

At the same time——

Natsu also encouraged the Dragon Slayers—because in the battle just now, even the Dragon Slayers had a hard time achieving any results, so they inevitably fell into self-doubt, which led to low morale.

He roared, "Dragon-slaying magic was born from some dragons giving humans the power to slaughter other dragons!"

"Dragon Slayers not only bear the hopes of humanity for survival, but also the longing of dragons for peace!"

"We are Dragon Slayer Mages, qualified to defeat dragons!"

"Our hands possess the power to remove dragon scales!"

"Our roar has the power to tear apart dragon skin!"

"Our fists possess the power to shatter the dragon's heart!"

"Our ultimate technique for slaying dragons—possessing the power to kill dragons!"

"We are Dragon Slayer Mages, and we have trained hard for this day!"

"Fight the dragon to the death!!!"

"It's a Dragon Slayer's instinct!!!"

Natsu's roar of fire dragon caused the entire earth to tremble.

All the dragons turned to look in Natsu's direction, as if they had sensed something.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"

Natsu punched the fire dragon in front of him.

The opponent didn't move, and was knocked down by Natsu's punch!

"Oh!!!"

The entire arena was thrilled to see Natsu knock down a dragon with a single punch.

"I can't fall behind either," Laxus said.

“Hey, what an exciting guy,” Gajeel laughed.

"Mr. Natsu—do your best!" Wendy clenched her fist. "Charlu, let's do our best too!"

"Natsugo, so handsome!!" Stinger instantly turned into a fanboy.

“Mr. Gajeel, I will prove myself, and I will be able to follow you again.” Rogge also made up his mind.

“Tsk—” Cobra shook his head: “Even I feel myself getting fired up. What a terrifying guy.”

Everyone felt exhilarated.

But Natsu himself was completely dumbfounded.

The other party did not resist.

"This feeling... and the identity of a Dragon Slayer Mage."

The fire dragon asked, "Boy, what's your relationship with Igniel?"

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that Natsu's flames were very similar to Ignir's.

That wasn't a simple approximation of magic or spells, but rather a matter of rank—the same qualifications as the King of Flames.

"Huh?" Natsu was taken aback, then said proudly, "Igneel is my father!"

"So that's how it is," the fire dragon said. "Your father, Igniel, is the Fire Dragon King and also my friend."

"Huh?!?!" Natsu exclaimed in shock. At a time like this, they'd actually gotten involved with relatives?!

"Hmph," the fire dragon said, "What a lively brat. Since you are Ignir's son, I will not fight you, and I can even help you."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Natsu said happily.

“My name is Kuangyan,” Kuangyan said.

“Okay, Uncle!” Natsu said.

"Hmph." Judging from his voice, Kuang Yan was somewhat pleased.

Then, Mad Flame shouted to the dragons, "The man before me, Natsu—is the son of the Fire Dragon King Igneel. I will help the son of my old friend. Anyone who wants to continue fighting is my enemy!"

The Dragon Slayers all understood, and then they were dumbfounded—Natsu had actually found a relative!

Chapter 252, Three Minutes of Despair

The rest of the dragons were stunned for a moment, mainly because this news was quite explosive.

However, they didn't care after that.

"so what?"

“We are not of the same kind, and I am not subject to the control of the Fire Dragon King.”

"I'm going to make a big splash in this era, and nobody can stop me."

"Damn humans, Mad Flame, don't forget who you are."

The Dragon Slayer mages sighed: They thought Natsu had found a relative and they wouldn't have to fight anymore. But these dragons harbor deep resentment.

"Enos!" Kuangyan roared, taking Natsu with him as they flew towards the number 12 dragon, whose element was wood, making it completely countered by him and Natsu.

certainly--

This type of attribute restraint requires the attributes to be of the same level.

"Kuangyan, you traitor to the dragon race!" Enos, who had been chosen as his opponent, roared in fury.

“Natsu, show me what you’ve learned from Igneel,” said Flameblaze.

“Okay, Uncle!” Natsu laughed.

Even with the addition of the raging flames to the battle.

However, defeating a dragon is not something that can be done in a short time.

As time goes by, humanity will inevitably fall into a huge disadvantage.

Many mages were injured and forced to leave the battlefield, or even died.

On such a large battlefield, even if Emily and Happy risked their lives to save everyone, it would be difficult to take care of everyone.

"What have I done?"

Princess Emerald, who had already been protected and evacuated from the capital, wept bitterly.

The catastrophe that destroyed the world was all caused by her.

She once thought with smug satisfaction that the king had given her power because of her wisdom, and that his reluctance to arrange a marriage for her too early must be to groom her to become the next king.

If that's the case, then she must have some extraordinary qualities.

But now it seems——

She's too arrogant.

She's such a fool!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Princess Emerald kept apologizing, but even she herself was confused, not knowing who she was apologizing to.
