Dragon Force? Still Just Brats!
An extremely dazzling pure white laser beam shot out from Sting's mouth, tearing through the paving stones in its path and shooting straight ahead.
Rogue simultaneously lowered his body, his hands transforming into dense black shadows as he swung them forward.
"Shadow Dragon's Slash!"
Several black, crescent-shaped shadow blades sliced through the ground, intertwining with white light to form a destructive torrent of black and white.
Faced with the oncoming compound Roar, Gajeel did not dodge, but instead took a step forward, directly blocking Natsu's path.
Gajeel crossed his arms over his chest, and his skin instantly transformed into high-density black pure steel.
"Iron Dragon's Scales!"
A deafening impact.
The white beams and black shadow blades all slammed into Gajeel's arms.
The magical light scattered to both sides, and the aftershocks plowed two deep grooves into the ground.
The stone bricks beneath Gajeel's feet shattered inch by inch, but his body remained rooted to the spot, unmoved.
Those dragon-slaying attacks, powerful enough to collapse city walls, couldn't even leave a shallow crater on the steel surface.
Gajeel lowered one arm and grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"Is that all the strength you've got? You're not even good enough to tickle me."
Gajeel turned sideways, making way for someone behind him.
"Hehehe! Fire Dragon!"
Natsu's figure leaped high into the air behind Gajeel.
Natsu held up a ball of raging fire in each hand, creating distance between them in mid-air, and then slammed the two flames together.
The golden-red flames instantly expanded several times their original size.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"
A massive fireball plummeted from mid-air, crashing into the ground with unstoppable momentum.
Sting and Rogue stared wide-eyed, too late to regroup their defenses.
The fireball exploded beneath their feet.
The violent impact unleashed tangible waves of flame, instantly scorching the gravel and dust to a crisp.
"Wow!!"
Sting and Rogue cried out in pain again as the shockwave from the explosion propelled them several meters into the air before crashing heavily against the protective wall at the edge of the arena.
Two spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall after being hit.
The two slid down the wall, kneeling on one knee in the dust, their bodies billowing with blue smoke.
Chapati, in the commentary booth, grabbed the microphone and jumped up from his chair.
"I never expected this!"
"Everyone originally expected this to be a closely fought, epic battle between two equally matched dragons!"
"But now it has turned into Fairy Tail's one-sided and merciless crushing!"
Chapati slapped his thigh hard.
He withstood two Dragon Slayer attacks head-on without a scratch, and then countered with a backhand strike, sending his opponent flying once again!
"Is this the true essence of Fairy Tail?!"
In the center of the arena, Natsu extinguished the remaining flames on his fist and strode towards the two men kneeling on the ground.
Natsu looked down at Sting, who was struggling to stand up.
"Is this the strength you were boasting about before?"
Natsu stood with his hands on his hips, his words dripping with blatant sarcasm.
"He claims to have the strength to kill dragons, and even boasts that he can take down the black dragon Acnologia?"
Natsu shook his head.
"Don't joke around."
"With your weak fists and ticklish moves..."
"You don't even deserve to stand before Acnologia!"
Gajeel followed behind with heavy steps.
Gajeel raised an eyebrow upon hearing Natsu's words.
"Oh?"
Gajeel looked the Twin Dragons lying sprawled on the ground up and down, letting out a sneer.
"It sounds like those two said something quite interesting."
Gravel rolled down from the base of the wall.
Sting propped himself up with his palms and spat out the crumbs from his mouth.
Rogue also straightened up, leaning against the wall.
Their clothes were torn, but there was no sign of them admitting defeat.
Sting let out a cold laugh.
"Oh!"
Whether you're qualified or not, you'll see for yourselves right now!
Sting turned his head and shouted.
"Rogue!"
Rogue responded immediately.
"Oh!"
Both Third Generation Dragon Slayer simultaneously activated the Magic Crystal cores within their bodies.
Sting was enveloped in a dazzling, intense, pure white light.
"Holy White Dragon Mode!"
Rogue was instantly engulfed by rolling, writhing black shadows.
"Shadow Dragon Mode!"
Two streams of magical power, one black and one white, surged and swirled, shattering the broken bricks and stones beneath their feet into powder.
The Sabertooth's exclusive stands.
As Jiemma looked down at the illuminating black and white light, his tense jaw relaxed.
Jiemma leaned back in the high-backed stone chair, resting his hands flat on either side of the armrests.
"It's over."
Jiemma glanced at the opposite stands and delivered his verdict.
"This trash guild ends here."
Inside the venue.
Sting and Rogue unleashed their new forms of magical power, stomping their feet against the ground and shooting forward, leaving two black and white afterimages in their wake.
The speed has increased by several times compared to before.
Sting swung his right fist, which was covered in blinding holy light, straight at Natsu's face.
Rogue transformed into a shadow slash, aiming for Gajeel's chest.
The slogans were shouted loudly.
The scale and momentum were absolutely magnificent.
Natsu simply stepped slightly to the left, deftly avoiding the power of the Light Fist, and then retaliated with an elbow strike.
The elbow slammed precisely into Sting's cheek.
Gajeel didn't dodge or evade; his left arm suddenly shot out, grabbing the core of the Shadow Assassin, while his right knee slammed upwards, striking Rogue directly in the abdomen.
Bang! Bang!
The dull, resounding blows continued in unison.
Having just completed their transformation, Sting and Rogue were sent flying backwards again in just one round.
Two figures fell onto the muddy ground like torn sacks, rolling more than ten meters before barely managing to stop their momentum.
Sting rolled over and lay face down on the ground, digging his hands into the soil with disbelief.
"How is that possible?!"
Even after activating "Liberation Mode," I didn't even touch a hair on my opponent's head, yet I was still instantly knocked down.
Rogue rolled to Sting's side, quickly got up, and made a decisive move.
"Sting, use that move!"
Sting gritted his teeth and rolled over to his feet.
"Good!"
The two stopped trying to engage in close combat and stood back to back, their hands clasped tightly together.
White light and black shadows intertwined wildly.
Blinding holy light and deep shadowy mist intertwined and merged, and a huge sphere of light and darkness, more than five meters in diameter, converged and spun wildly above the two of them.
The air pressure around them dropped rapidly.
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang!"
The ball of light, carrying a violent power capable of tearing the earth apart, roared towards Natsu and Gajeel.
Wherever it went, the stone ground collapsed into deep trenches.
The spectators in the stands stood up and gasped in surprise.
Gajeel stepped forward, shielding Natsu behind him, and crossed his arms, letting out a mocking laugh.
"Hehehe! This move looks more like something!"
Gajeel stretched his neck.
"However, that's all!"
Gajeel's magical power surged wildly, and he clasped his hands together fiercely in front of him.
His entire right arm transformed into a giant Iron God Sword over ten meters long, its entire body as black as ink, its blade radiating a chilling sense of oppression.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Karma Demon - Iron God Sword!"
Gajeel pressed down hard with both arms.
A giant Iron God Sword cleaved down from the sky.
A deafening explosion.
The massive sphere of light and darkness was instantly cleaved in two by the Iron God Sword, and the magic power in the two halves dissipated to both sides.
The Iron God Sword, its momentum undiminished, swept across with a violent wind pressure, slamming heavily into Sting and Rogue's chests.
The two screamed as their protective magic Crush completely, and they were knocked to the ground again, rolling into the rubble.
