Father-Son Battle (Part 1)

"Are you Fire Dragon King Igneel?"

Hearing the doubts of the rude human being in front of him, Igneel said angrily, "I am Igneel, I guarantee it's true!"

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Prince Sordil of the United Front Alliance? (Zeref)"

"That's right! Brother Sordil and I are good brothers who share life and death! (Igneel)"

"Good brothers who share life and death? I don't think so! (Zeref)"

After Zeref said these words, the soft curves on Igneel's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a stiff, cold face. Immediately afterwards, Fire Dragon King said coldly, "Human, take back what you just said, otherwise, I will crush you into a pulp!"

"Hmph! What? Are you angry? (Zeref)"

"I say it again, take back what you just said! (Igneel)"

"If you want to kill me, you can do it at any time, but if you want me to take back those words, it is absolutely impossible! Because a deserter like you is not worthy of being his brother! (Zeref)"

His inverse scale was repeatedly offended, which made Igneel's rationality gradually fade away. At the same time, a violent emotion began to spread in his chest.

"First, this dragon is not a deserter. Second, brother Sordil and I are indeed good brothers sharing life and death. So you must swallow what you just said, otherwise, you will not see the sun for the next second! (Igneel)"

Feeling the intensity of Igneel's words gradually increasing, Zeref had a little doubt about his previous judgment. So, he withdrew a bit of the coldness in his words, and then said in a relatively calm tone, "If you are not a deserter, then why did Sordil fight bloody battles at Peterburg City, you didn't stay with him? If you really had such a good relationship with Sordil, then why didn't you go out to avenge him after Sordil died in the battle, but stayed here to hide and relax?"

When Zeref just said the first few words, the disappointed and angry Fire Dragon King was already ready to crush him into pulp. But when he said the next words, Igneel's finger suddenly stopped not far in front of him.

"You... what did you just say? Sordil Brother... he died in the battle? (Igneel)"

"That's right! Prince Sordil died in Peterburg City a year ago! (Zeref)"

"No! Impossible! Brother Sordil is very strong, and there are uncles Kaldiz and the others around him to help him. How could he die in battle? This is impossible! (Igneel)"

"Everyone in Peterburg City knows about Ishgar. If you don't believe it, you can go outside and ask around to see if I lied to you! (Zeref)"

After hearing Zeref's words, Igneel's hands that were originally raised suddenly dropped down, and Zeref held in his hands fell along a parabola toward the ground.

"Boom!"

Waves of violent collisions echoed through the canyon, and a cloud of Bobo smoke spread out from the direction of Igneel.

"Ah!"

"I said at the beginning, let me stay, let me stay, but you just didn't listen and insisted on asking me to help you find that Zeref! Now, you and your brothers have gone over there. Even if I help you find that Zeref, so what? (Igneel)"

"So what? (Igneel)"

"Woo!"

Looking at Igneel, who was in tears and pounding the ground with his fists, and listening to the complaints coming from the opponent's mouth, Zeref, who was sitting in the audience at the back, suddenly became teary-eyed.

"Bandit, you idiot, why did you let Igneel come to me? If... if he was here at that time...(Zeref inner voice)"

Just as the two of them were crying, an impatient laughter and curse suddenly came from the mountain not far away.

"Igneel, what are you doing? If you don't sleep on beauty sleep, the rest of us will sleep on it! (Metalicana)"

The laughter and curses echoed in the valley like thunder, but Igneel seemed not to hear it and continued the movements in his hands.

"Hey! Igneel, can you calm down a little? If you disturb our sleep again, I'll be rude to you! (Skiadrum)"

Roars, laughter and curses continued to echo in the valley, and the sound of hitting the ground also continued.

Seeing Igneel ignoring the warnings of himself and others, Metalicana (Gajeel, White Dragon, and the Shadow Dragon trio) who were sleeping on the mountain next door strode towards this side.

When they looked at Igneel that kept hammering the ground, they instantly realized that something important must have happened. Therefore, the three of them immediately put aside their little joke and quickly stepped forward to stop the crazy Igneel.

"Igneel, what's wrong with you? (Metalicana)"

After being pulled up from the ground by Metalicana, Igneel shouted loudly, "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Crack!"

With a clear and sharp slap in the face, the noisy Igneel finally fell silent.

"Igneel, what happened? Can you calm down! (Metalicana)"

"Calm down? Sordil Brother, they all died in the battle, how do you want me to calm down? (Igneel)"

Hearing Igneel's roar, Metalicana's eyes widened instantly, and then they shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible? (Three people shouted together)"

After a moment of surprise, Metalicana grabbed Igneel's shoulders and asked, "Igneel, how did you know that something happened to brother Sordil and the others?"

Igneel forced to hold back the sadness rushing out of his heart, and pointed at Zeref not far away.

"That's what he told me! (Igneel)"

Hearing Igneel's answer, Metalicana said angrily, "Igneel, you are crazy! Do you believe what an ordinary human said?"

Just as Metalicana finished speaking, a white light flew from the northwest at an extremely fast speed.

After a while, a panicked shout came from the white light and shadow, falling into the ears of Metalicana and others.

"Uncle Metalicana, uncle Igneel, something bad has happened, something happened to the teacher and the others! (Anna)"

"Boom"

Because the white light and shadow fell too fast, it made a violent impact sound when it landed and stirred up smoke and dust all over the sky.

When the smoke and dust dissipated and everyone faced each other, the white light and shadow and the Anna on her back noticed something was wrong with Igneel.

Looking at the large and small potholes on the ground and the tears remaining on Igneel's face, Grandiere asked tentatively, "Is it possible... you already know that something happened to Sordil and the others?"

The four of them did not speak, but nodded silently.

"Grandiere, Sordil, brother, is it true... (Metalicana)"

Hearing Metalicana's question, Igneel and the four of them all gave him a look, and the Black and White Double Dragon kicked his butt without any trace.

"Grandiere, it's been a year, so don't be too sad! (Igneel)"

"Yeah, Grandiere, don't be too sad! Otherwise, brother Sordil won't be happy over there! (Vyseria)"

"That's right! (Skiadrum)"

After blinking a few times quickly to stop the things in his eyes, Grandiere raised his head with a smile on his face, and then said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine!"

Just when everyone was looking at each other, the little clever ghost Anna spoke in time, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"By the way! Just now, Mrs. Grandiere and I found out about the guy Zeref."

"What? Zeref That guy showed up? Anna, tell me where this guy is, I'm going to find him! (Igneel)"

"Sordil Brother is already... Why should we look for this guy? (Metalicana)"

"What are you looking for him for? Of course, go over and beat him up! If this guy hadn't been wandering around, would we have missed the Battle of Petersburg? Sordil Brother, will something happen to them? (Igneel)"

"But, even if we hammer him into a meat pie now, Sordil brother and the others won't be able to survive! (Metalicana)"

"At least, we can send him over there to find Brother Sordil, and let Brother Sordil fulfill his wish! (Igneel)"

"Well! There's nothing wrong with what Igneel said. We both share in this matter! (Vyseria, Skiadrum)"

Listening to the conversation between Igneel and others, Zeref was speechless but also felt a little excited. Just when he was about to announce his identity and arrive at Paradise, Grandiere said, "Igneel, stop fooling around! Sordil made it very clear at the beginning that he wanted us to find him Zeref, and then brought him to the Mildian Academy of the Western Continent. Although Sordil is no longer here, we still have to do what he said."

When Grandiere spoke, Igneel and others naturally did not dare to disobey. So the four of them nodded obediently, saying that they and others would follow the plan and not mess around.

"Okay! In that case, let's set off now! (Grandiere)"

After Grandiere gave the takeoff order, everyone immediately began to enter the takeoff procedure. Just when they were about to take off, a loud shout that was not loud (compared to the volume of Igneel and others) came from behind them.

"Wait a minute! I'm right here, you don't have to look around!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this voice, everyone stopped and turned around to look at the maker of the voice.

"Igneel, is what this guy said true or false? (Metalicana)"

Hearing Metalicana's inquiry, Igneel's red cheeks became even redder.

"Then... I was just looking around and feeling sad. I haven't asked this guy's name yet, so I don't know if what he said is true!"

After Igneel finished speaking, five people, including Anna, surrounded him in the center, and then launched a strong contempt bombardment at him.
