Chapter 283 Don't underestimate the power of dragons!
Amidst the burning black flames, a man with messy golden hair and round red eyes strode out, his face filled with arrogance and conceit.
"Great! It's Lord Zancro! We're saved!"
"Be careful, Lord Zancro, that fire-wielding guy over there is too strong!"
"And there's that strange woman wielding two swords; she looks easy to bully, but she's just as terrifying as a monster!"
Upon recognizing the person, the mages of Devil's Heart beamed with joy and cheered loudly.
However, before they could even catch their breath and feel the joy of being saved, a dramatic change occurred in the next second.
Without warning, pitch-black flames struck, transforming into a sea of fire that reaped lives and mercilessly engulfed everyone!
Screams echoed throughout the room.
"Strong? The Demon's Heart is the strongest! No one is stronger than our guild!"
Looking at the scorched earth that had instantly become empty, Zankro spread his arms and laughed loudly, "The heart of a demon has no need for useless weaklings, ahahahaha!!"
"You, you bastard, you actually gave your own partner to me?!" Natsu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The shock of witnessing the brutal scene unfolding before his eyes even made him overlook the unusual, pitch-black flames emanating from the other side.
Clearly, this guy hadn't listened at all when Chase was explaining the information about the Demon's Heart.
Lucy, who landed safely in Natsu's arms, was also shocked by the other party's cruelty and ruthlessness, turning pale.
"Zancro, one of the seven familiars of the Devil's Heart, is a fire-destroying mage capable of using lost magic."
In contrast, Harpy seemed much calmer. "That's just how the Dark Guild operates."
"You must be Natsu Dragneel? You've been involved in everything from The Pipe of Magic, Deliora, the R-System, and Necrophos."
Zankro glanced at Natsu, who was engulfed in flames, and said coldly, "Even within our Balam League, he's quite a well-known figure."
"Attacked Lucy, harmed your friends—a villain like you doesn't deserve my autograph!"
Natsu roared and charged forward, grabbing the Fire Dragon's iron fist and smashing it directly at Zankro's face.
"Did he misunderstand something?" Lucy silently retreated to Happy's side.
The mention of autographs inexplicably brought back memories of her first encounter with Natsu and Happy, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
"An autograph? Who would ask you for something so boring!"
Zancro neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung his fist, which was wreathed in black flames.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
"Ember God's Heavy Strike!"
Crimson fire and black flames clashed fiercely in mid-air, and the scattered two-colored firelight caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.
boom!
Natsu was quickly defeated in the pure fire contest, knocked back several meters by Zankro and crashed heavily into the castle wall.
Fog and dust filled the air.
"H-How is this possible?! Damn it! It's so hot!!"
Natsu rolled over and stood up from the pile of rubble, vigorously shaking his right fist, which was emitting a little black smoke, his face filled with horror.
"It's so hot!" Lucy and Happy were even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Despite having received prior intelligence about the enemy, Natsu, a Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, was somehow at a disadvantage in a clash of flames!
"Hahaha! Isn't this just common sense?"
Zancro, having succeeded in his attack, laughed triumphantly, "No matter how powerful the dragon's flames are, they can never defeat the flames of a god!"
"What kind of divine fire is this? Did you learn it from the gods?!"
Natsu clenched his Fire Fist again and charged forward, engaging Zankro in a brutal close-quarters fight.
Crimson flames and black flames kept exploding around the two of them, accompanied by a string of trash talk.
"If Guild Master Hades is a god, then this is ancient, lost magic I learned from theology!"
"What? In the end, he's not even human. Igniel is a true dragon!"
"Dragon? You mean a flying lizard, right? That's nothing special."
"Ignir isn't a lizard! It's a dragon's claw!!"
boom!!
Natsu seized the opportunity to leap into the air and kick Zankro with his flame-covered right leg in a hook motion.
Unfortunately, the magical counter-relationship between the two was too strong. This powerful kick could not shake Zankro at all. As he bent his arm to block, he could only unleash his own magical power, and Natsu had to use the force to retreat and avoid the gushing black flames.
Having just exchanged blows, he deeply understood the terrifying power of these flames: not only did they hurt terribly when they struck his body, but also...
There's no way to devour it like ordinary flames!
Since that's the case, Natsu's gaze sharpened. He channeled all his magical power into his arms, condensing it into a deeper-colored dragon flame: "Merge the flame in my left hand with the flame in my right hand, the fire dragon's—"
"Are you finally unable to resist using a slightly more powerful move?"
Zancro gave a mocking laugh, then strode forward and struck the same pose, black flames swirling around his palms. "From the westernmost point to the easternmost point, all burned to ashes, the Flame God's—"
"Flame Emperor!!!"
"Howling!!!"
The dragon and the god's blazing flames clashed violently once again, but unfortunately, the result was still the same as expected.
Even though Natsu used every ounce of his strength, he was still violently blasted away by Zankro, who looked completely nonchalant, crashing into several walls in succession!
"Isn't it clear yet? The difference in magic between gods and dragons is just too great, hahaha!"
Zancro stood there laughing loudly, seemingly having no intention of pressing his advantage.
"However, your flames are quite delicious." He licked his lips with his long, slender tongue, a perverted gesture.
Seemingly to show off that the magic Hades taught him was the strongest, he devoured most of the fire dragon's flaming energy in front of Natsu during their recent clash.
"Natsu, leave this guy to me!"
Lucy couldn't stand it any longer. She changed into the Aquarius Celestial Cloth, which could suppress flames, and drew the Star River whip from her waist to stand in front of Natsu, ready to take over this already unequal battle.
In the past, facing an opponent that even Natsu couldn't handle, he probably wouldn't have had the courage to confront them head-on.
But now, Lucy is glad that she has become a little stronger during her time with Chesgo, so that she can step up when it matters.
"Get out of here, Lucy! I'm the one who has to defeat this guy!"
Despite looking somewhat disheveled, Natsu still raised his hand to wipe away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, and stubbornly took a step, slowly walking through the flames to Lucy's front.
"Natsu, I also think it's better to let Lucy handle this situation," Happy suggested with some concern.
"What a joke! If that bastard Ice Cube and that idiot Ironhide find out I need Lucy's protection, I'll never be able to hold my head up in the guild again!"
"So this is the kind of boring stuff you care about!!" Lucy shouted angrily.
I finally mustered up the courage to stand here!
"Although she can be really fierce at times, both the old Lucy and the current Lucy have always made me feel very safe."
Natsu's out-of-the-box remark made the sulking Lucy blush with embarrassment: "What? Why are you suddenly saying such strange things..."
hum! !
Just then, the black flames erupted like a volcano, spewing out incredibly hot waves of air.
"They actually started discussing this so casually right in front of me! Having been force-fed a dose of PDA, Zankro lost all his previous composure. Enraged, he unleashed his magic, conjuring a black flame scythe in his palm. 'Enough fighting! You're all going to die!'"
"The Fire God's Onihao!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black flame scythe rapidly enlarged as Zankro swung it with great force, slicing through solid walls and load-bearing stone pillars in its path, revealing incredibly smooth cut surfaces.
The aura was quite terrifying!
Zankro's sudden attack was so fast that Lucy had barely recovered from her embarrassment when the black flame scythe, brimming with destructive power, was already beside her, blocking all escape routes!
In the nick of time, a strong arm, revealing dragon scales, reached out and precisely grasped the incoming black flame blade, preventing it from advancing an inch.
"This guy's God-Slaying Magic is indeed powerful, but Natsu's eyes flashed with a red light, and the surging, violent aura seemed poised to destroy everything around him. Compared to that monster, Chess, he's not scary at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Wu gently clenched his fist, and the Black Flame Scythe, which had an absolute attribute advantage, was burned to ashes by the sweeping crimson dragon flames and shattered on the spot!
"How, how is this possible! My divine fire has been devoured and destroyed?!" Zancro was shocked.
"So, don't underestimate the power of dragons, you bastard!!"
Natsu strode forward, his body ablaze with flames, and behind him a phantom dragon shadow that resembled both Igneel and Yggdrasil, its power soaring to the heavens.
"Destroy the Flame Dragon Mode, Tachibana Kei!"
