Ten minutes later, the Sword Saint Dragon Chnuki, having recovered from his injuries, transformed into a boy about the same age as Natsu, to everyone's astonishment.

With his handsome appearance, upright posture, and long, light golden hair that falls naturally down his back, he exudes an elegant aristocratic air. If you saw him for the first time, you probably wouldn't know that he is actually a dragon.

Kurnuki, now human, bowed politely to the crowd. "Thank you all for your help. I have no way to repay you... May I follow you and serve as your attendant?"

"Let's skip the attendants and such."

"We're not the kind of people who expect gratitude in return."

"He has such a good personality."

"So dragons can actually transform into human form...?"

"It must be some kind of transformation magic?"

"......"

Listening to his companions' chatter, Natsu excitedly imagined what Igneel would look like when he turned into a human, but unfortunately, he couldn't picture it at all.

After chatting with Kurnuki for a while, everyone learned that dragons all have their own territories and spend most of their time in them, but Kurnuki is an exception.

He loves swordsmanship, and his own abilities also enhance his swordsmanship; otherwise, how could he be called "Sword Saint Dragon"?

To hone his swordsmanship, Kurnuki left his territory to travel across the continent, but unexpectedly encountered a powerful Dragon Slayer mage, Jogg Raison, as soon as he set out.

If Hope and the others hadn't passed by, Kurnuki would probably be someone else's meal tomorrow.

"You want to deal with the Five Divine Dragons?"

Upon hearing the purpose of his saviors' journey to Elmina, Kurnuki pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of the Water Dragon, but... I can provide you with some information about the Moon Dragon."

Isn't this just perfect timing?

Hope hadn't expected that just by joining in the fun, clues about the Five Divine Dragons would come knocking on her door. "By the way, Kurnuki, what's your relationship with the Moon Dragon?"

"Oh, she is my mother."

When everyone saw Kournuki say those words with such a calm expression, their minds went blank for a moment.

To repay his savior, he was even willing to betray his own mother.

What a filial son!

......

Chapter 278 Where there's a scumbag mother, there's a scumbag father

Kurnuki's words were like a bombshell, leaving everyone present stunned and speechless, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Huh?!"

"The Moon Goddess Dragon is your mother?!"

Natsu's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a fist.

Happy flapped his wings in the air, nearly dropping the dried fish from his mouth. "Huh?! Does that mean we've saved the enemy's son?"

"No, no, no, the situation is a bit complicated." Gray waved his hand, his mind racing. "The Moon Dragon is one of the Five Divine Dragons, and he's the one we're supposed to defeat, but we just rescued his son..."

“To be precise, he’s the son of the Moon God Dragon,” Lucy corrected instinctively, then realized something was off. “Wait, what’s the difference?”

Wendy tilted her head, puzzled. "But Kurnuki doesn't look like a bad guy at all..."

Gajeel licked his lips. "Hmph, who cares about their relationship? Our goal is the Five Divine Dragons anyway, so we might as well use the intelligence we have."

Juvia had already started imagining all sorts of melodramatic scenarios. "Could it be that this is actually a tragic family drama about a mother and son turning against each other? Kournuki and the Moon Dragon have become enemies, run away from home, and now want to use us to launch a magnificent revenge against his mother?"

Kana took a bottle of wine out of her ring. "I think it's about Kurnuki falling in love with a human girl, but being separated by his dragon mother."

“What a cliché story. Nobody watches this kind of plot anymore.” Levy immediately had an idea. “I think it would be more interesting if the son fell in love with his mother.”

"A distorted love?" Erza agreed. "If that's the case, then it is indeed quite attractive."

What are these guys talking about...?

Witnessing the birth of the rumor firsthand, Kurnu, the dragon involved, felt his vision go black. Even with his dragon physique, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Hope took out a notebook and, while recording everyone's "amazing wisdom," said Kurnuki, "Don't worry about it too much. That's just how these guys are; sometimes their minds are a bit strange."

"You're the stranger one!"

Mirajane snatched the notebook from Hope's hand, looked at the various outrageous rumors about the Sword Saint Dragon, and couldn't help but cover her face and complain, "They're just talking nonsense, but you actually wrote this as a novel, and even came up with a title, 'My Dragon Mother'... Wow, you really are..."

"abnormal!"

"Dirty!"

"Disgusting!"

"Rubbish!"

"Remember to show it to me when you're done writing it..."

The group of women who were unanimously condemning Hope suddenly turned to look at Natsu, who had spoken last, but they immediately understood.

Because with Natsu's simple-mindedness, he really didn't know what Liu Bei's nickname was.

After Hope repeatedly assured her that no strange books would appear, Erza finally released her grip on his ear and turned to look directly at Culnuki.

"Knowing that we are going to attack the Moon Dragon, why were you still willing to provide information about your mother? Aren't you afraid we'll kill her?"

Upon hearing this, Kurnuki's face flashed with a complex emotion, and his light golden eyes lowered slightly. "Mother has the ability to control space. As long as she wants to leave, no one can stop her. So I don't think you can defeat Mother."

"But I do have a selfish motive. It's been thirty years since I last saw my mother, and I want to use your help to find her..."

In fact, Kurnuki is not even fifty years old since he hatched from his dragon egg. To the dragon race, he is just a young dragon who is nearing physical maturity, whose strength has increased significantly, and who is beginning to crave adventure.

Dragons typically raise their young to adulthood, after which they either drive the children out of their territory or leave on their own.

The Moon Dragon Serene was different. His plan for raising his son was summed up in two words: free-range. He left his son to live on his own after he had spent his early dragon years in Kurnuki and had just learned to fly.

The Moon Dragon would only return to pet his son when he remembered he had another son.

The real reason Kurnuki was willing to provide information about the Moon Dragon was that the dragon cub missed its mother...

After hearing Kurnuki's confession, everyone looked at him with pity.

What a pitiful Sword Saint Dragon. If they hadn't passed by, by the time the Moon God Dragon remembered his son, Kulnuki's bones would probably have been taken back to the Dragon Eater Guild by Jorg Lysen and gnawed clean.

Hope asked, somewhat puzzled, "Kurnuki, your mother raised you without any support, but what about your father?"

“My father died 400 years ago.” Kurnuki shook his head. “The dragon race has a secret technique that can seal dragon eggs and hatch them later. But my mother forgot about it and only remembered to hatch me in this era.”

Everyone: ......

"What an incompetent mother."

Natsu proudly declared, "Igneel wouldn't do that. He's so good to me; he's a family-oriented dragon."

"Who said that? The Fire Dragon King only raised you for less than two years."

Hope complained, "Besides, you're human, unlike dragons. Maybe Igniel is like the Moon Dragon, an irresponsible and terrible father to dragon cubs."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's entirely possible."

While Hope was deliberately provoking Natsu, Chinooki exclaimed in surprise, "You're the human son of the Fire Dragon King Ignir?!"

Natsu grinned and nodded. "That's right! He raised me! He even taught me Dragon Slayer Magic."

Kurnuki suddenly realized, "No wonder, when you were fighting George Lyssen before, I felt that your magical aura was very similar to his..."

Upon hearing this, Natsu, eager to find his father, couldn't sit still any longer and almost jumped up excitedly, "Who does he look like? Is it Igneel? Could he be in Giltina?"

Faced with Natsu's three questions, Culnuki calmly denied them, saying, "I have never seen the Fire Dragon King, but I have seen his son. When I say 'similar,' I mean that your magical aura is similar to that of the Fire Dragon King's son."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Hope chuckled and patted Natsu, who was frozen in shock. "Congratulations! Besides your brother, who's now a stranger, you've gained another half-brother."

The news was so shocking that Natsu was momentarily stunned. Hope looked at Chinuki and asked, "You've met the Fire Dragon King's son, so he should be in Giltina too, right?"

"That's right. He helped me once when I was hungry. He said he had a similar experience, only worse. He was raised by unreliable parents who practically fed him and then sent him out to face the world alone as soon as he came of age..."

At this point, Kurnuki suddenly remembered something, and his expression became somewhat strange. "That...this son of the Fire Dragon King...is one of the five divine dragons you intend to defeat."

"Eagle God Dragon Ignia".

Chapter 279 Mira cleverly employs a series of schemes, Hope mistakenly ends up on the guillotine.

Coming to the continent of Giltina was definitely the right decision.

The Flame Dragon is the son of the Fire Dragon King. When they heard this news, everyone had different expressions. Natsu was so shocked that he looked as if he had been struck by Laxus.

Only Hope laughed out loud, completely oblivious to the world around her.

Zero Emperor of Galna Island, the dark guilds "Devil's Heart" and "Tartars," the demons of the Book of Zeref, the Black Mage himself...

Almost all the enemies and forces encountered last year were inextricably linked to Fairy Tail.

Now that they've arrived in Giltina, it's unexpected that Flame Dragon, one of the villains of this continent, has become related to a member of Fairy Tail.

Only the unlucky "Six Demon Generals" accidentally stumbled into the Heavenly Palace and ended up becoming a dish.

Oh right, if the Oración Seis hadn't coveted Nirvana, Wendy wouldn't have joined later. So it seems they have some connection to Fairy Tail.

However, Ignia was at least raised by the Fire Dragon King until she had some ability to protect herself before leaving. Moreover, the war between humans and dragons had not yet broken out at that time, and with the protection of the Fire Dragon King's name, she was at least not in danger of losing her life.

In contrast, Kurnuki's so-called "training" was actually "wandering," and he almost got eaten in the end, plus a mother who ignored him for decades...

It's absolutely a disaster.

Compared to this, the Fire Dragon King is actually quite good.

Perhaps due to the overwhelming shock, Natsu quickly calmed down. Hope looked at him with curiosity and teased, "Knowing that Igniel felt the same way, how do you feel now?"

Natsu's face flushed red as he argued, "Raising children freely doesn't make you a jerk... Dragons all do it this way, how can that be considered irresponsible?"

Then came incomprehensible words, such as "Ignir isn't that kind of dragon" and "He's very good to me," which made everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere around us was cheerful.

“Natsu, I suddenly remembered that Igneel and Gildarts, whom you admire, were both fathers who failed to fulfill their responsibilities.”
