Natsu and Gajeel's side
"So Lady Irene has also encountered a formidable enemy?" Neinhart turned his head in astonishment to look at the mushroom cloud, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Golden and red lights flashed intermittently in the distance, while a huge Magic Circle appeared in the sky, from which countless giant Chains and swords stretched out, lashing and slashing downwards like a storm.
Coupled with the intense tremors coming from beneath their feet, it's easy to imagine that the battle over there has entered a fierce stage.
Neinhart exclaimed, "I never imagined that someone could fight the Two Empire Walls to such an intense degree."
Moreover, the two people in front of him were far too troublesome; he never expected that there would be people with such strength in an ordinary Fairy Tail.
"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you! That's our Fairy Tail Guild Master!" Natsu looked at Neinhart's shocked expression and laughed triumphantly, hands on his hips.
Before the laughter subsided, Natsu suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly shouted, "And, haha, Gajeel, did you hear that? He actually used the word 'also'! Looks like I'm a strong one too, haha!"
He even showed off to Gajeel, who was standing some distance away.
"Hey Natsu, you're always so unpredictable! You even noticed this place at such a crucial moment!"
"Yes, it's really hard to understand!"
Happy sighed and looked at Natsu with a hint of helplessness.
Lily also crossed her arms and echoed her sentiment.
Two cats flew through the air, ready to support Natsu and Gajeel at any moment.
Fairy Tail!!
"Not just Fairy Tail, anyone who opposes the Empire is considered an enemy!"
Neinhart unleashed a torrent of black Magic Power as he charged forward with all his might. For Lady Irene's sake, he had to eliminate his opponent.
"Bloodman, that guy's in your hands! Remember our objective!" Neinhart turned to the cloaked Grim Reaper beside him and shouted, his face resolute.
Although he was unhappy about being assigned to work with Death, he had to endure it for the time being for the sake of Lady Irene's plan.
Neinhart raised his hand and unleashed a hurricane that enveloped Natsu, followed by a barrage of attacks that bombarded Natsu.
"You don't need to tell me!" Death said coldly, then his figure attacked like a ghost, his palm filled with Magic Barrier Particles, like a cloud of black mist, as he slammed it down on Gajeel.
Gajeel grinned; he was also pleased with the word "strong."
But we need to eliminate this enemy first.
With a determined look in his eyes and no hesitation, he crossed his arms and took the blow head-on.
He stomped his foot hard, nimbly twisted his body, and his arm instantly transformed into a solid iron pillar, swinging in a wide arc with a sharp whistling sound. This strike was incredibly powerful, forcing Death to retreat repeatedly.
"He's completely unafraid of my Magic Barrier Particles, which are fatal if inhaled in even a tiny amount!" Death looked at Gajeel in surprise, a hint of admiration and curiosity flashing in his eyes.
This was the first time he had ever met such a special person.
"Tch~ I'm Iron Lungs! Don't underestimate me!" Gajeel's lips curled up into a confident smile, and he swung the iron pillar in his hand once more.
"Iron Dragon Pillar!" Gajeel roared, and a huge iron pillar appeared out of thin air, crashing down on Death like Mount Tai.
A strange smile played on his lips, making him impossible to decipher.
When Death saw that smile, a sense of unease welled up within him.
With a deafening boom, Death's body flew backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily to the ground.
His face was filled with astonishment; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"What? It can actually attack my body..." Death struggled to his feet, his eyes fixed on the purple-glowing substance on the Iron Dragon Pillar, his heart filled with doubt and shock.
His body is composed of Magic Barrier Particles, making him virtually indestructible. Why was he injured by Gajeel's attack?
"Damn it, as the guide to the Yomi, I'll show you the horror of the Yomi!" Death slammed his hands on the ground, and countless Magic Barrier Particles instantly surged from his body.
They transformed into skulls and swarmed towards Gajeel.
"It seems my idea was right!" Gajeel's eyes lit up with excitement.
Instantly, a layer of black Armament Haki covered his body. He stomped his foot on the ground, took a deep breath, and immediately gathered powerful energy in his mouth.
"The Iron Dragon's Roar ~"
With a roar, countless iron filings whistled up like a whirlwind.
Wherever this powerful force went, the fragile skeletons were instantly shredded into powder, as if swallowed by a merciless storm.
However, Death did not sit idly by. He stretched out his hands, and countless skeletons immediately gathered together, forming a solid defensive wall that successfully withstood Gajeel's powerful attack.
"Didn't you just finish the battle at the Tartaros?" Death's voice was full of sarcasm and provocation.
You should still be familiar with the power of Curse Power, right?
"The Nine Demon Curse Power surged forth from the underworld..."
"Curse: Flame Spiral!"
"The Five Swords of the World: Onimaru!"
As he finished speaking, a powerful Curse Power surged from his body, carrying a thick aura of death. He raised his hand and easily unleashed all the techniques of the Nine Demon Gates.
The purple Flame Tornado, like a raging dragon, swept towards Gajeel.
Gajeel simply stepped forward and ascended into the sky.
At the same time, a sharp blade flashed towards him in an instant, so fast that no one could react.
"Gajeel ~" Lily nimbly rushed over and caught Gajeel, sending him soaring into the sky.
Dodge the opponent's attacks at high speed.
"Thanks, Lily! Let's go!" Gajeel said, then immediately adjusted his body, his Magic Power surging, and the surrounding Magic Barrier Particles seemed to be attracted to him.
This made Gajeel think of something.
Power can be digested.
Inhale suddenly.
"Black Iron Dragon Mode!"
"What?!" Death exclaimed in surprise. His eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
Gajeel's body underwent an astonishing transformation at that moment.
His skin turned jet black, shimmering with a metallic sheen.
Its scales became harder and sharper, radiating a fearsome aura.
His eyes were filled with majesty and domineering power, as if he had transformed into a ferocious Iron Dragon.
With Gajeel's transformation, his power was greatly enhanced.
"Haha, I really am a genius!"
Gajeel laughed loudly, his hand transforming into an iron sword. Each swing generated a powerful gust of air, and his speed was so fast that it was like lightning, making it impossible for anyone to catch his figure.
The Grim Reaper felt unprecedented pressure and had to go all out to deal with Gajeel's attack.
On the other side, Natsu unleashed a Fire Dragon's Roar, forcing Neinhart back. Seeing Gajeel's smug expression, his fighting spirit ignited, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance, shouting, "In that case, I can't fall behind!"
As he finished speaking, a powerful flame suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping Natsu in orange-red flames. Dragon Scales gradually appeared on his body, and a playful light, like a dragon eye spotting its prey, began to appear in his eyes.
"Fire Dragon King Mode!"
The orange-red flames, like a blazing sun, directly scorched everything around them. The earth slowly began to rise into the air under the intense heat, as if it were about to melt.
This powerful force caused the Fire Dragon King within Natsu to slowly open its eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on its lips.
It must be said that it is very satisfied with the strength that Natsu has shown so far.
After all, the power gained through one's own efforts and cultivation is the most powerful.
This sense of accomplishment reminded the Fire Dragon King of Zorn's teaching methods, filling him with emotion.
Meanwhile, Gajeel, the Iron Dragon within his body, felt the same way.
They have all witnessed the Children's growth, and now they have become towering trees, possessing great strength and unwavering will.
"This power is... the Dragon Slayer Power!" Neinhart murmured in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He could feel the power was strong and familiar.
As he finished speaking, the figures of several people slowly emerged behind him.
"Materialization Magic - The History of Corpses!" Neinhart shouted, and the figures behind him instantly became clear.
"Let these people have a go at your Dragon Slayer Magic!" Neinhart laughed smugly, confident that these people would be able to counter Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic.
"Hehehe~ Long time no see, Natsu!" A blond-haired man appeared before Natsu with a wicked grin, black flames rising from his hand.
However, Natsu was not intimidated by his words.
Instead, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "A defeated opponent is a defeated opponent!" Natsu said with a sneer.
"Fire Dragon King's Roar!" Natsu took a deep breath, and an even more powerful Flame Tornado rushed towards the figures, engulfing them.
"As for you! I need to take care of you as soon as possible!" Natsu looked at Neinhart, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that time was of the essence and he had to defeat the enemy before him quickly.
With that, Natsu instantly appeared in front of Neinhart like lightning, delivering an uppercut to Neinhart's chin.
This punch contained boundless power and fury, Neinhart was immediately sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
How can those who are stuck in the past move towards the future?!
These were the words Zorn taught him, and he always kept them in mind, bravely striding towards the future.
"I can only use Magic from the dead. Everything will burn to ashes in my flames!!" Natsu's eyes were firm and fervent, as if burning with endless flames.
That terrifying gaze made Neinhart feel as if he were seeing a Fire Dragon roaring through the sky, radiating majesty and power.
Meanwhile, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna are engaged in fierce combat with enemy soldiers.
Elfman and Lisanna led the other Fairy Tail members in a charge against the enemy forces, attempting to stop their invasion.
Although Mirajane has used Seilah's Curse to put some enemy soldiers to sleep, there are still a large number of enemies that need to be fought.
Meanwhile, Mirajane faces Assassins from the Spriggan 12 alone.
She could also see the battle of Guild Master Zorn in the distance from the air, and realized that the enemy Zorn was facing was powerful.
She needs to resolve this battle as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he rushed forward and punched the Assassin Jacob's fist.
The force shattered the earth, but the Assassin caught it steadily.
"As an Assassin, direct combat is not my forte!"
"Teleport!" Jacob said.
Mirajane immediately felt the surrounding space tremble, realizing that danger was imminent, and tried to get away quickly.
However, in an instant, they both vanished from their spot.
