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

[With a brief declaration, Natsu instantly sprang into action!]

[He charged towards Augustine.]

"Come on, you brat! Today I'm going to reduce you to ashes!"

Augustine spread his enormous wings and roared angrily to the sky! Crimson lightning descended from the heavens!

[The entire area within a radius of several hundred meters was transformed into a merciless lightning field!]

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Crimson Lightning – Things Are Getting Interesting

The sky had completely darkened.

Crimson lightning filled the entire world, and the aura unique to dragons permeated the battlefield.

On the ravaged land, countless tiny flames still burned, sending up billowing smoke that darkened the already gloomy sky even further.

Just witnessing this scene is enough to feel the overwhelming despair!

Brian: "Hey, hey, hey... are we really going to charge in?"

"This is clearly not a fight on the same level!"

Hades: "Indeed, at the beginning, we even thought there was a slight chance of winning, but..."

Ultear: "But when the dragon truly unleashed its terrifying power to the extreme... I simply can't imagine how Honatsu could possibly win."

Uru: "Don't forget, we also have Irene's support, which should at least increase our win rate, right?"

Sting: "Impossible. Even if the win rate of 0 increases by a few percent, it will still be zero."

"At Hyunaz's current level, it's still too early for him to challenge a titled dragon."

Zeref: "Just watch, Hyunaz's growth rate has even exceeded my expectations."

"The unimaginable potential hidden within him might... be revealed here!"

August: "Potential that no one could have imagined... I'm really looking forward to it!"

on the screen.

Endless thunderbolts descended from the sky, their thick bolts barely touching the ground.

This could trigger a massive explosion.

That was almost a blanket, indiscriminate bombardment; hundreds upon hundreds of bolts of lightning covered an area of ​​several hundred meters around the dragon.

Countless explosions resounded, and countless bolts of crimson lightning flashed in the air.

Black Natsu, his body wreathed in brilliant golden flames, raced madly through the realm of lightning.

[Her keen senses even allowed Henna to dodge lightning bolts aimed at him in a very short time.]

[Boom boom boom boom—!!!]

Countless explosions resounded around HyunAz, the shockwaves ruffling his cherry blossom-colored hair.

Within the endless lightning field, Black Natsu dodged and weaved, constantly avoiding the incoming lightning bolts, just like a nimble monkey.

[They covered a distance of over a hundred meters in an extremely short time.]

[He appeared before Augustine.]

Crimson, exploding flames continuously gathered on Black Natsu's right fist.

With Irene's help this time, the flames were several times more powerful than those that had previously struck Augustine!

Veins bulged on Black Natsu's forehead as he gritted his teeth and used the shockwave from the explosion not far behind him to leap into the air!

"The fire dragon—"

The fist was raised high, aimed at Augustine below.

"I won't give you another chance to hit me, brat!!!"

Augustine opened its hideous, enormous maw towards Natsu.

The sharp fangs gleamed with a cold, menacing light in the reflection of Natsu's flames.

A massive amount of crimson-black lightning began to converge into the giant mouth.

Natsu's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing this!

"There's no time left!"

The thought flashed through Natsu's mind, and the next moment, Natsu's raised fist, no longer gathering power, slammed straight towards Augustine with a raging inferno.

[Crushing Fist!!!]

A fist even stronger and heavier than the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist.

[It's an evolved version of the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, imbued with the power of a dragon!]

The fist, wreathed in enormous flames, crashed down, but!

The dragon's breath rapidly gathered at that moment, and then it unleashed its crimson-black energy!

[Boom! B ...

A deafening roar of thunder that echoed across the entire sky erupted!

That was a massive lightning bolt, over ten meters in diameter.

The crimson-black light completely engulfed Black Natsu's flames and, carrying an unstoppable force, slammed into Black Natsu's body!

【"Ugh~~"】

Black Natsu's body was sent flying by the terrifying lightning strike.

[Boom!!!]

A massive, thick bolt of crimson lightning streaked across the pitch-black sky.

[Falling into the distance!]

[The next second...]

【boom----!!!】

A massive explosion, tens of meters in diameter and centered on the area struck by lightning, erupted at that moment!

Countless cracks spread across the earth, like a spider web, extending wildly in all directions.

A powerful shockwave swept across everything around, and even the air itself was filled with countless tiny sparks of electricity due to the high concentration of ions.

"Natsu?"

[Eileen, standing behind, covered her mouth in horror, her pupils trembling as she stared in the direction of the explosion.]

A surging wave of air, carrying countless grains of sand and gravel, swept towards this direction.

Eileen crossed her arms protectively in front of her, her long, crimson hair flying wildly in the wind.

[It only gradually subsided after a long while.]

Eileen ignored the still-burning flames and the large number of charged ions circulating in the air.

The moment the wind stopped, they immediately ran towards the location of the explosion.

"Natsu! Natsu!!"

After traversing countless rubble and ruins, what came into Eileen's view was a massive pit, tens of meters long and over five meters deep.

[And Black Natsu was lying inside that deep pit.]

He was slowly removing the stones that were pressing down on him, looking rather weak and listless.

Sting: "As expected, the gap is too big. However, it is indeed amazing that Hennaz was able to withstand that breath attack head-on."

Natsu: "Damn it, am I really going to die in this war in my other world?"

Gajeel: "That shouldn't be possible. Igneel is still here. He shouldn't let Natsu die like this."

Wendy: "I think that's probably true. If Igneel were to make a move, then this Thunder Dragon definitely wouldn't be able to win, right?"

Natsu: "Of course! Igneel is the strongest dragon!"

Gildarts: "The strongest dragon? Perhaps that's a bit of a stretch?"

"After all, there's still Acnologia."

Makarov: "That's true, but as the Dragon King, Igneel should have no problem easily defeating a newly titled dragon like Augustine, right?"

[In the scene, Irene helps Hnatsu up after he falls to the ground.]

[Honatsu's condition is not good at this moment; his entire body is covered in charred black marks from being struck by lightning.]

Both feet were stiff due to numbness.

The raging flames that had once surrounded the area were now reduced to only a few scattered clusters stubbornly burning.

"Natsu, are you alright?"

Irene looked Haku up and down, her eyes filled with deep worry.

【Snapped! 】
