"stop!"

Before the words had even faded, the person had already arrived.

Before Jogg's fist could strike, it was stopped by a hand burning with flames. He turned his head and saw a cherry-haired boy standing between him and his prey.

"Oh? A Dragon Slayer Mage."

Jogger slowly stood up, looking down at Natsu with an undiminished ferocious smile. "Kid, do you know what you're doing?"

“I know.” Natsu stared intently at the man in front of him. “I’m stopping you from killing this dragon.”

"reason?"

“He has never harmed humans.” Natsu glanced at the dying Sword Saint Dragon behind him. “You admitted it yourself just now.”

George paused for a moment, then burst into deafening laughter. The exaggerated laughter echoed among the rocks, startling flocks of birds in the distant forest.

It was so funny that George laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Naive! So naive!"

He wiped away the tears of laughter, and his gaze towards Natsu suddenly turned sharp as a knife. "Kid, you don't actually think that all the fighting in this world needs some kind of 'just' reason, do you?"

"What did you say?!" Natsu was furious.

Jorg grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "The strong eat the weak, the hunter kills the prey. I am a dragon devourer, a dragon slayer mage. Dragons are the prey that can make me stronger."

"The strong should ruthlessly humiliate the weak. I killed him because I wanted to. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Natsu's forehead veins bulged. "Igneel said that Dragon Slayer Magic should be the magic of love. Your actions are an insult to Dragon Slayer Magic!"

"What kind of bullshit love magic is this? No matter how powerful dragon-slaying magic is, it's just a tool to make me stronger."

George raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with sarcasm, but mostly with disdain, "I'm determined to kill Sword Saint Dragon! Even the Five Divine Dragons couldn't save him? I'm telling you!"

As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much; if you disagree, you'll start fighting."

The two, whose ideologies clashed, suddenly broke into a fight.

Natsu's fist collided violently with Jogg's arm guard.

Flames flew everywhere, and the shockwave shattered the surrounding rocks into dust. Natsu gritted his teeth, his arm muscles bulging, but he felt as if his fist had smashed into an incredibly hard boulder.

"Kid, is that all you've got?" Jogger didn't budge, and even had the extra strength to tilt his head defiantly at Natsu.

The next instant, he twisted his waist and swept a whip kick across. Natsu crossed his arms to block, but was sent flying backward like a cannonball launched from a catapult.

“Natsu!” Lucy exclaimed.

"I'm fine!" Natsu's powerful roar echoed through the smoke and dust as he pushed away the rocks pressing down on him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Just as Jog was about to give chase, Gajeel descended from the sky, wielding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. With a series of rapid turns of the gun and sword, he forced Jog to stop in his tracks.

"First it was 'Fire Dragon Slayer,' then it was 'Iron Dragon Slayer'... Interesting."

George cracked his neck, his knuckles popping. "Then I'll deal with you brats first, then that dragon. Anyway..."

His gaze swept past Gajeel and over Hope and his group on the hillside, a cruel smile on his face. He said slowly, "None of you will escape."

Since the enemy has provoked us so much, as Fairy Tail mages, we naturally have to respond. There's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with such people.

Erza drew her Dragon Slayer Seven Strike Blade, Mirajane stepped forward and her magic began to surge, Cana's ring flashed and she pulled out a card, Gray and Juvia assumed fighting stances, Lucy summoned her Sagittarius Celestial Spirit, and Levy's word magic was ready to be unleashed...

"Excellent! Excellent!"

Sensing the magic of everyone, especially Erza and Mirajane, Jorg's face was filled with excitement. "Perfect timing! I've been wanting to cause some trouble for a long time. You bunch of ignorant brats, come and receive my 'Four Beast Dragons' Dragon Slayer Magic'!"

With the Dragon Slayer Magic of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—exploding from his body, Jogger, his hair and beard bristling, charged forward with overwhelming power, launching an attack on the Fairy Tail mages.

For a time, the sounds of magical collisions were incessant.

Aside from the three cats wisely refraining from joining the battle against Jogg, even Wendy used "Enchanting" to provide support.

Hope, however, remained standing still.

When he first heard the name Jorg Lysen, he already knew that this man who called himself "Dragon Eater" must be the founder and guild master of the Dragon Eater Guild "Diabolos".

Just as Senator Serena had provided, he was indeed a greedy and domineering individual.

But it must be said that anyone who can become a guild leader has some skills. Facing the onslaught of Erza and Mirajane, Jogg held his own in the slightest.

The overwhelming power level allowed Hope to easily see through Jogg's so-called Four Beast Dragon Slayer Magic, which was actually just four different Dragon Slayer Magics mixed together with a deceptive name.

But this also shows that Jorg has eaten at least four dragons.

By consuming dragon meat, one can convert the dragon's power into their own. If they cannot absorb it, they can simply expel it from their body. This is both safe and powerful enough. Is this what the Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer Mage is all about?

It's somewhat interesting, but not much.

Erza used her Dragon Slayer weapon, Mirajane activated her Double Receive, and with Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, and others taking turns attacking and restraining him, plus Wendy's support, it was only a matter of time before Jog was defeated.

No longer paying attention to the battlefield, Hope picked up the three cats and instantly appeared beside the Sword Saint Dragon, placing his palm on the dragon's scales stained with dragon blood.

The light of healing magic shone forth.

Sword Saint Dragon Kurnuki's heavy breathing gradually subsided, and his amber vertical pupils regained their clarity as he gazed at the human boy who was treating him.

"Why... did you save me?"

"Just passing by," Hope replied briefly.

Do you think I'd believe that reason? Sword Saint Dragon remained silent, but looking into the boy's calm and collected eyes, he felt that the other party seemed to have no reason to deceive him.

Could it be... that they were just passing by?

Looking up at the fierce battlefield, Kurnuki was speechless. He suspected that these people simply wanted to fight.

Chapter 277 The Dutiful Son

Jogg's fist tore through the air, shattering Gray's condensed ice shield into countless fragments, but little did he know that Gray also possessed another powerful magic.

The ice shards instantly transformed into a purple rain of annihilating ice, enveloping the target.

Erza's figure darted into Jog's blind spot like a ghost, unleashing a fierce arc of light with the Broken Army Blade, the weapon with the highest physical damage among the Seven Dragon Slayers' weapons.

Jogg dodged to the side, but he didn't expect that the attack was just a feint. The demon's arm reached out from behind him, and Mirajane's five fingers gripped his right shoulder like an iron hoop.

Jogger snorted coldly, unleashing all four colors of magical energy within him simultaneously, forcefully breaking free from Mirajane's grip. But in that instant, Natsu and Gajeel had already flanked him from both sides.

The fire dragon's iron fist and the black dragon's iron club struck his chest simultaneously.

The rocks beneath Qiaoge's feet crumbled, and he sank three feet into the pit. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but the smile on his face only became more ferocious.

"That's more like it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wendy's "dullness effect" suddenly took effect.

Jorg froze, and Juvia's water ropes immediately wrapped around his ankles. An electronic dragon descended from the sky, followed closely by a barrage of arrows from the Sagittarius Protoss.

George shielded his face with his arms and bravely withstood the concentrated fire.

When the smoke and dust cleared, he was kneeling on the ground, his golden arm guards covered with cracks and gaps, and his bare forearms were crisscrossed with several wounds that reached the bone.

Just as Hope had predicted, as time went on, George was finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the onslaught from the crowd.

A group fight is all about attrition.

"Shall we continue?"

Erza held her sword tip to the ground, her tone calm, "We've already seen through your Four Beast Dragon Magic. We've seen mages like you who master multiple Dragon Slayer spells at the same time before."

Jorg was breathing heavily. He stared at his blood-soaked hands and suddenly chuckled softly, "See through? Hahahaha... You ignorant fools, you think this is all I'm capable of?"

"I'll show you the true power of my Dragon Slayer Magic!"

His magical power erupted, even more turbulent and violent than when he fought the others. The four colors of Dragon Slayer magic merged on Jogg's fist, condensing into a ball of pitch-black light that dimmed the surroundings.

"The Roar of the Four Beast Dragons!!"

While described as a roar, it has nothing to do with the classic roaring techniques of Dragon Slayer mages. Instead, it's a powerful, wide-range magical attack, comparable to forbidden magic of the same type.

Just by feeling the surging magical power, everyone could imagine how destructive this move must be.

Darkness surged in like a tide.

At that moment, even the air trembled.

However... this move, which was enough to cause enormous destruction to the Barrelia region, ultimately failed to harm anyone.

A hand reached out from the side and effortlessly caught the punch.

George's pupils contracted sharply.

Hope stood beside him, his right hand gripping the boy's fist, his dark eyes calm and unwavering. The aftershocks of the clash of magic raged, yet they couldn't stir a hair on the boy's head, and he remained completely still.

Giorg's face was still burning with anger. "What the hell are you?!"

Hope naturally didn't answer; such an answer might only address the question of "is a thing" or "isn't a thing," and he certainly wouldn't willingly step into that situation.

Turning his head, Hope glanced at the Sword Saint Dragon recovering not far away, and then at Natsu and the others who were indignant about what Jogg had done.

He looked away and met George's bloodshot eyes.

"You said before that fighting in this world doesn't need a just reason, and that makes a lot of sense."

George paused for a moment.

“But you also said that the strong should ruthlessly humiliate the weak.” Hope’s fingers slowly tightened, and his power opened like a sleeping beast.

It was just a momentary release.

Jorg felt as if he were being watched by some indescribable being, a sense of oppression far stronger than his Four Beast Dragon Magic and more terrifying than the Five Divine Dragons.

That is not a power that humans should possess.

No... that's not the kind of power this world should have.

Hope sealed away George's magic, then used the force of 50,000 magnetic fields to hurle him into the sky, saying, "Enjoy the free fall!"

The tyrannical and unreasonable magnetic field force rendered George unable to move. His body, subjected to the immense pressure, emitted a creaking sound as he disappeared like a shooting star across the sky.

As for whether this guy, blinded by power and greed, will survive in the end.

Hope couldn't guarantee that since Joger couldn't use his magic, there was a 98% chance he'd be smashed to pieces.
