The Fire God Slayer Zancrow's Defeat (Part 1)

Finally, on the battlefield, it was Bluenote Sturge, the vice- Guild Master of Grimoire Heart, versus Gildarts.

"Bang!"

The two exchanged blows, and a powerful shockwave erupted between them, causing the ground to collapse and crumble instantly. Judging from their appearance, the two seemed to be evenly matched.

This situation gave Bluenote the illusion that he was stronger, so he arrogantly mocked Gildarts, saying, "Not bad, you seem to be able to fly!"

Gildarts's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. White light condensed in his hand, and in an instant, a massive beam of light burst forth.

Bluenote's arrogant expression froze, and he flew backward in shock. Only now did he realize that it was he who had taken flight, and it was the first time he had ever experienced the feeling of flying.

Let's turn our attention back to the battlefield between Zancrow and Natsu.

"Fairy Tail? Besides obtaining that person, destroying you is also one of our goals here!"

"Don't be so smug just because you defeated Jellal, the weaker opponent known as the Inner Personality - Guild Master Wu!"

"They actually dare to call themselves the number one Fairy Tail in the Kingdom? That's laughable, haha!"

"Say it again if you dare!!"

When Natsu heard Zancrow's arrogant and outrageous words, the veins on his forehead bulged, and the temperature of the flames surged as his fists touched the ground.

Just as Natsu was about to throw a punch, Wendy's firm voice suddenly came from behind him. "Natsu, I'm here to help you! I'm Mage from the Fairy Tail too, I can help you too!"

"Wendy?"

The cats looked at Wendy with surprise, but Natsu wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he replied just as firmly, "Please, Wendy!"

"Hmm!" Wendy's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she began to draw upon the Magic Power in the sky.

She knew, of course, that with her current strength, she would only hold Natsu back if she went up to fight alongside Natsu against the Seven Kin.

But she has other Magic that can definitely help Natsu.

She will definitely help Natsu. How dare this guy defy Fairy Tail and harm her comrades? She must help Natsu defeat him.

"Oh, this little girl? She looks like she's still just a little kid. She should go home and play in the mud! Hahahaha!"

Zancrow heard Wendy's words, glanced at her up and down, suddenly paused, then burst into laughter, pointing at Wendy and telling Wendy to go back to playing in the mud, looking down on her completely.

"No matter how many of you there are, this is a lost Magic I inherited from the gods— the Fire God Slayer Magic!"

"Dragon Slayer Magic? It's nothing more than a close relative of a lizard!"

"Igneel is not a lizard!!"

"That means Grandeeney isn't a lizard at all!!"

"Yeah, you disgusting, foul-mouthed bastard, watch out or Natsu will beat you to a pulp!" Tami, hands on her hips, was furious upon hearing this and started cursing.

Although Ximi was scared, she mustered her courage and picked up a stone to throw at Zancrow.

After the other cats finished smashing the items, they glared fiercely at Zancrow, nodding vigorously in agreement.

"You..." Zancrow roared, before he could finish speaking.

Upon hearing such humiliating words, Wendy immediately unleashed the Magic Power she had been gathering, raising her hands high in the air.

A blue Magic Circle rose up beneath Natsu's feet.

"The swift wind that races across the sky—power!"

"A powerful force that tears the sky apart - Attack Enhancement-Limbs!"

The amplification of speed and power was immediately applied to Natsu, and with his already powerful flames, Natsu's entire body erupted in flames, turning red and black.

The temperature immediately soared, and the air became increasingly scorching.

"Strength? Speed? Both have increased significantly?"

"Thanks, Wendy!" Natsu grinned and laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, with a bang, Zancrow, who was still laughing mockingly, was sent flying backward.

Natsu didn't let his guard down either, dodging and continuing his attack. The Fire Dragon's Iron Fist landed on Zancrow, who was now powerless to resist.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack"

Natsu's arms, wreathed in red and black flames, lashed out at Zancrow like dragon wings.

Zancrow was sent spiraling through the air by the attack, before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Impossible, flames have no effect on me, they couldn't possibly give me typhoid fever, but..."

Zancrow stood up from the ground, touched his mouth, and saw blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He roared in disbelief, for he was clearly Fire God Slayer Mage, and flames had no effect on him.

After all, flames were passed down from the gods and couldn't possibly harm him. But looking at the blood on his hands, it didn't seem fake. It clearly told him that he had been injured by a Dragon Slayer.

No, not just one Dragon Slayer, there's another...

Zancrow turned his head and looked at Wendy behind Natsu, who was still maintaining the Enchantment Magic. At this moment, he would no longer underestimate this girl; the combined strength of the two of them had really caused him a great loss.

And what exactly is the black substance in the flames...?

"You will all perish with this one blow!"

"Burning from the westernmost point to the easternmost point, a flame that burns everything... the breath of God."

Zancrow couldn't understand it either, but he didn't care anymore. He clasped his hands together slightly, and black flames gathered on his hands, emanating an extremely dangerous aura, clearly indicating that he was serious.

"Wendy, you guys get out of the way..."

"Merge the flames in your left hand and the flames in your right hand into one..."

Natsu quickly shouted at the group and stood in front of them.

Her hands erupted with red and black flames once more, which burned even more intensely under the amplification of Wendy's Magic.

"The Fire God's..."

"The Fire Dragon..."

"Gajushi"

"Brilliant Flame"

The black-red and black-gray fireballs collided violently as the two unleashed their full Magic Power, causing the surrounding environment to gradually melt under the intense heat.

The ground also began to collapse.

However, with the amplification from Wendy's Magic and the rigorous training Natsu has received from Zorn over the years, his Magic Power and Magic have greatly improved. Facing such an opponent, he did not appear to be struggling; on the contrary, they were evenly matched.

However, under the bombardment and scorching of their Magic Power, the ground finally gave way, and after a violent explosion, Natsu and Zancrow fell off the cliff along with the rock fragments.

"Natsu!" Happy called out worriedly, but seeing Wendy still struggling to maintain her Magic Power, he knew that Natsu was still alright.

"Wendy? You should rest for a while!" Carla was also a little worried about Wendy, so she gently advised her.

"I'm alright, I must help Natsu! Power and speed, go all out!"

Wendy's eyes were resolute. She took a deep breath, and all the air was transformed into Magic Power, which she then used on Natsu.

From the smoke below, a blue light suddenly began to flash even brighter.
