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

what happened?

Countless people stared intently at the sky, filled with doubt.

As time ticked by, the bubbles on the water's surface became increasingly dense, even starting to churn and form larger bubbles.

[Its appearance was like water being boiled.]

boiling water?

Countless people were even more confused, but then, an unbelievable idea began to emerge in everyone's minds.

Natsu's magic... seems to be fire?

[The next moment!]

【boom----!!!】

[A towering column of fire erupted beneath the water's surface with a deafening roar, like a volcano erupting underwater.]

The blazing pillar of fire broke free of the water's surface and shot straight into the sky.

Countless water droplets vaporized under the high temperature, emitting a 'sizzling' sound.

The intense flames continued to rise.

The scorching heat even caused the river water within a few meters to boil.

The towering pillar of fire was not extinguished by the river.

[Visually speaking, it even looks like the river water is being burned wildly.]

Countless spectators watching the sky screen stared in disbelief at the scene.

The spectacle of fire and water coexisting is a wonder, even in the world of magic.

It is not very common.

What's more, all of this came from a boy who is not even ten years old yet.

Brian: "Wow, just how powerful is this guy's magic? He can even unleash such a magnificent flame underwater?"

Jellal: "Is this still the Natsu I know?"

"The one who needs my help to defeat Natsu?"

Hades: "Don't even mention needing your help. This is Natsu from the underworld. Given his current strength, I even suspect that if you two were to encounter each other in the future, you would both be instantly killed."

Hades' words made both of them feel a chill run down their spines.

They all knew that this was not an exaggeration.

Looking at the trajectory of the original world, Natsu could only escape from the mouths of those crocodiles by luck at this time.

Even with this kind of strength, Natsu still managed to defeat Geralt and Brian in subsequent battles.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if it were Hello Natsu.

Instant kill?

Perhaps it really is possible.

Laxus: "Seriously, you don't need to gloat. Weren't you the one who got hammered too?"

Hades was taken aback.

But then he immediately realized what he meant: "Hmph, blond brat, if I remember correctly, you're one too, right? Have you forgotten the civil war among the fairies?"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

The three members of Thor's crew shuddered and turned to look at Laxus.

Even Laxus couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Oh no, I ate the melon and ended up eating myself.

If Black Natsu is this strong, wouldn't he be able to beat up his counterpart from that other world when he grows up?

[Thump...]

Another dull thud followed.

The attention of the bickering people was drawn to the sky.

The voice was deep, but it was still absorbed by the sky and reached everyone's ears.

[The next moment!]

The water began to churn violently, and then a colossal creature burst out of the water.

[It soared into the air in a flipping motion, tumbling at least ten times before plummeting into the river.]

[Thump...]

The enormous object crashed into the water again, splashing water everywhere.

Lucy: "If I'm not mistaken... those huge figures were those giant crocodiles, right?"

Wendy: "It seems so... What exactly happened down there?"

The scene continues.

The commotion is not over yet.

[Thump...thump...thump...]

[A series of muffled sounds followed.]

The churning water visibly produced wave after wave of tremors.

[Immediately afterwards, several enormous figures burst forth from the water, exactly as before.]

At least five enormous creatures were tossed into the air, tumbled several times, and then crashed heavily into the water.

[Huge splashes of water were sent flying nearly ten meters into the air.]

Like raindrops, they fell upon both banks of the riverbed.

numb.

Everyone was almost completely numb.

That incredibly impactful scene was laid bare before everyone's eyes.

The dull sound was like a heavy hammer striking their hearts.

Every takeoff and landing of these colossal creatures filled onlookers with dread.

If we were to say that Natsu had experienced something similar while watching the White World before...

What people empathize with and worry about most is the safety of Benaz's life.

However, it seems that the situation is completely reversed on Honez's side.

Compared to Natsu's own safety, it seems that those crocodiles who were inexplicably beaten up are more pitiful.

Yes, think about it carefully.

A group of crocodiles were peacefully swimming leisurely at the bottom of the river.

A strange child had wandered into their territory.

Before the crocodiles could even get angry.

The child was the first to attack, charging forward with his tiny fist, about the size of a baby bottle.

Of course, the most important thing is.

That little kid, who looked like he could be swallowed whole, actually had unimaginable strength.

With a single punch, the crocodile leader was sent flying into the sky.

Who could stand this scene?

Several minutes passed, and the turbulent water gradually calmed down.

The water lapping against the bank continuously flows back into the riverbed.

It was as if everything that just happened had never occurred.

But at that moment, another huge bulge appeared on the water's surface.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature burst forth from the water.

But what was unexpected was the posture of this enormous creature.

[Upside down, the crocodile's head hung limply from its neck, its tongue lolling out of its open mouth.]

[His tightly closed eyes seemed to indicate that he had lost consciousness.]

[And so it slowly moved towards the shore.]

As they got closer to the shore, the water became shallower, and only then did Natsu's figure gradually emerge from beneath the crocodile.

He stretched out his arms above his head, supporting the crocodile that had completely lost consciousness.
