Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

Michelo began to ponder.

"Ok?"

Natsu suddenly looked up, and Stinger followed suit.

"Enemy attack! Everyone be careful!" Natsu shouted suddenly. "Stinger, protect them!"

After shouting, Natsu unleashed a roar towards the outside: "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Stinger immediately followed suit: "White Dragon's Holy Rain of Light!"

Yukino waved her hand: "Refraction!" Countless irregular mirrors appeared in the space.

The countless rays of light that burst forth shine onto the lens and then refract.

'Boom'

Natsu's roar shattered the roof.

At the same time, Stinger and Yukino's combined attack transformed what was originally an offensive spell into a defensive spell after numerous refractions—countless raindrops of light were infinitely refracted to form a sphere of light, protecting everyone inside the sphere, while any external attack would be shattered upon contact with the sphere.

'boom--'

Natsu's preemptive strike failed; the entire house exploded.

Fortunately, Natsu was able to withstand the attack, while the others were protected by Stinger and Yukino's magic and were not attacked.

The mirror shattered, and a shower of light scattered everywhere.

Lucy followed Natsu warily, glancing at the strange man standing amidst the ruins.

"What a pity," the enemy said. "I thought I could blow you two away, but you two reacted quite quickly. I can smell the scent of other beasts on you."

“I’m not a beast,” Natsu said. “I am Natsu, a mage of Fairy Tail.”

“I am Sting, a mage from Fairy Tail,” Sting said.

“That doesn’t matter.” The enemy shook his head: “You’ll all be blown to bits anyway.”

"Heh." Natsu sneered, "Let's begin, Demon Hunt!"

The enemy's eyelids twitched slightly; he'd been seen through!

On the desert.

The two magical beasts galloped away.

Two people sat atop each of the magical beasts.

Gray and Juvia, Cana and Wendy.

'Rumble'

The sounds of battle could be heard from ahead.

The buildings were cut into pieces like tofu.

"It seems the enemy has arrived!" Gray said. "We must speed things up and ensure nothing happens to Mr. Hoggu!"

"We're late."

Gajeel's expression was rather unpleasant.

Their group consisted of Gajeel and Levy, and Roger and Lucky.

They originally came to protect former council member Belluno, but Belluno had already been murdered.

There were no signs of a battle here; it must have been an assassination that killed him instantly.

Chapter 277, Stinger: I don't need to show up.

"Hey--"

The enemy smiled smugly, then assumed a horse stance and swung his hands around like windmills.

A gust of wind blew up.

Natsu and Stinger quickly shielded Lucy and the others behind them.

But the attack did not come.

At the same time, massive explosions occurred throughout the town.

Hearing the screams echoing throughout the city, the crowd was immediately enraged.

"Why attack people you have no connection with!" Lucy demanded angrily.

"Huh?" The enemy laughed: "Do demons need a reason to attack humans?"

"You bastard!" Natsu leaped high into the air, his body engulfed in flames.

"Stinger, wait." Seeing that Stinger was about to make a move, Lucy calmly stopped him.

“Miss Lucy?” Stinger asked, puzzled.

“Don’t forget the plan,” Lucy said.

“Yes.” Stinger finally calmed down.

He looked at Lucy in surprise, not expecting her to be so calm and composed in this situation. On the contrary, he almost made a mistake.

Yes, it's a plan.

Of course there are, but Lucy didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless.

However, that is precisely why we must act according to the plan and never give the other side a chance to escape.

'boom'

Just as Natsu charged in, the enemy flicked his wrist and shouted, "Explode!"

'boom'

Natsu was immediately blasted away by the explosion.

The enemy immediately laughed triumphantly: "Impulsive fool, if you get hit by this move, your body will be blown to pieces—wait!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the flames from the explosion shrink rapidly and disappear in the blink of an eye.

It didn't disappear—

It was absorbed!

Lucy wasn't worried at all: fire magic does very little damage to Natsu, and it would only become a way for Natsu to replenish his mana.

"So-so." Natsu wiped his mouth and lunged at the enemy again.

"You bastard, you can actually devour flames!" the enemy exclaimed in alarm.

As Natsu approached, the enemy could no longer maintain his act and hastily jumped off the wall in a disheveled state.

'Boom!' Natsu's punch missed, and terrifying magical power was released.

"What kind of monster is this!" the enemy exclaimed in horror. "This powerful magic is like facing a demon of a higher rank than me, like Anza or Tomon!"

"I'm not a demon!" Natsu jumped down, and as the enemy dodged in time, he punched the ground, creating a huge crater of lava. "I'm the son of a dragon!"

The dragon's enemy realized: "You're a Dragon Slayer Mage!"

"No wonder!" The enemy dared not be careless any longer and quickly increased the distance between them.

Natsu chased after the enemy and attacked.

Michael, standing behind Stinger, was dumbfounded and exclaimed in surprise, "I always knew that Fairy Tail mages were strong, but seeing them up close is truly astounding. This is the first time I've ever seen their guild members fight. They're known as the number one guild, and their reputation is well-deserved."

"Okay, I admit, you're a bit interesting." The enemy fled in disarray.

explode?

Natsu eats whatever is fried.

I'm asking you how you're going to fight!

"Compared to those useless members of the council, you are much stronger." These were the words uttered by the enemy.

Natsu was taken aback, finally giving the other party a chance to catch their breath.

Lucy asked, "Did you attack the Council?"

“That’s right.” The enemy nodded: “I thought that as an organization that manages the magic world, there would be some strong people, but they are all useless. It’s actually a small guild like yours that can produce strong people.”

Small guild.

Everyone was speechless. Just as Yefried had said, these guys were all incredibly arrogant.

"You—" The enemy looked Natsu in the eyes and said arrogantly, "You are worthy to know my name, Fireball Boy. Go to hell and spread my fame—"

"I am the Gate of the Underworld, one of the Nine Ghost Gates—"

"I am—a jackal."

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Before the other party could finish speaking, Natsu punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Then he punched her several more times, all of them landing on her face.

Seeing that the enemy seemed to have fainted, Natsu spat and said, "So weak."

'boom'

Suddenly, a burst of magical power erupted, and Natsu cautiously took a few steps back.

"I--"

"weak?!"

An angry voice came from the enemy.

He got up, suppressing his anger, and said, "You arrogant fool, you don't really think I can't deal with you, do you?"

"You outdated mages simply don't understand—"

"Touching the power of the rules."

"Look at your hands, Fireball Boy."

Natsu looked down and saw his hand emitting a blindingly bright light. He asked, "What is this?"
