Natsu's Demon Transformation

Confusion is like a wave, sometimes subsiding, sometimes rising.

Both the demon Fudia and Balrog possess fire-related abilities, but isn't Natsu the strongest fire demon?

Zeref is not the kind of person who would create two identical demonic powers!

"Why did Zeref create you and Balrog? Answer that, and I can let you go!" Hughes continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of joy crossed Fudia's face. A strong person would not break a promise; a word is worth a thousand pieces of gold. He finally saw a glimmer of hope for escaping death!

"END, Lord Zeref created me and Balrog for the strongest demon END!"

Although END is the strongest demon, it was not the first demon to be created.

Before creating END, Lord Zeref created me and Balrog first. You could say that END was created based on us!

Hughes nodded and concluded, "So, in other words, you and Balrog are the Flame Demon's test subjects."

That makes sense when you think about it. Natsu is Zeref's younger brother, and Zeref created the Book of Zeref to revive Natsu.

It's normal to practice on two demons before modifying Natsu.

Hughes's summary was so true that Fudia's ferocious lava face looked slightly embarrassed. "That's true, but without the two of us, END wouldn't have been born!"

Hughes ignored Fudia's self-aggrandizing words and, to Fudia's astonishment, Hughes behind him.

Fudia's head slowly lowered, and a large hole suddenly appeared in its chest.

Human, you have broken your promise!

With his back to Fudia, Hughes waved his hand. "Don't shout. I have plenty of experience killing demons; this injury isn't fatal to you."

His figure continued to move, and in the blink of an eye, Hughes appeared in front of Makarov: "Old man, release Mira and Natsu, I'll give them a power boost!"

"Ah?"

Makarov couldn't understand Hughes's ravings. He glanced at him and, seeing no sign of being controlled, activated the magic shield.

"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"

Hughes remained silent, patting his chest; he wasn't the type to mess around when it came to serious matters.

At that moment, Gray exclaimed in alarm, "Guild Master, come quick! Something's wrong with Natsu!"

Behind the crowd, Natsu was curled up on the ground, his hands tightly covering his chest, his whole body soaking wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

The crowd suddenly panicked.

After a moment, Granny Porlyusica shook her head.

Happy shuddered and pounced on Natsu, tears streaming down his face. "Hey, Natsu, don't die!"

The wailing and howling annoyed Porlyusica, who slightly raised her wooden staff, Happy rolled to the side.

"Let me finish!" Granny Porlyusica snapped.

"Natsu is fine, but his body is very excited, and I can't figure out why!"

Makarov placed his magically imbued hand on Natsu's chest, carefully sensing. "Natsu's magical energy is flowing rapidly within him."

He hesitated for a moment, then uttered words that were difficult to understand.

"It seems like it's yearning for something!"

A slightly pained Natsu weakly echoed, "I'm so hungry, I really want to eat something..."

Everyone:???

Hughes paused for a moment, then turned to look at Fudia, who was sneaking away.

"Could this thing be affecting Natsu?"

That said, Fudia was Natsu's experiment, and in a sense, the two were of the same origin. Natsu should have been able to devour Fudia.

Hughes came to Mira and Natsu to share the spoils: he would absorb Fudia's Devil Origin, Natsu would consume the flames from the lava.

They tortured Fudia until he was barely alive, then handed him over to Mira.

One demon, three ways to make a fortune...

It seems that if Natsu can devour Fudia, his strength will increase dramatically after this!

As Makarov frowned, Hughes leaned down and patted him on the shoulder. "I have some guesses about Natsu's condition."

"How about you leave him to me, and I'll give it a try?"

Makarov looked up at Hughes seriously, and seeing that he wasn't joking, he nodded hesitantly.

"Boom!"

Hughes slammed his foot down hard on the ground, causing the earth to shake violently. Amidst the cursing and swaying of Macao and the others, he soared into the sky.

He wrapped his right arm around Mira's soft, slender waist, pressing her close to his chest, while his left hand held the half-dead Natsu.

Using his perfected Shave Hughes, Xiu Si caught up with Fudia in just four or five breaths.

"Rankyaku!"

Hughes twisted his waist, swung his right leg with all his might, and unleashed a transparent slash that swept across the void, cutting through everything in its path.

"Bang!"

The transparent slash revealed its sharpness, cleaving through the body of the Fudia demon with a flash of cold light.

Lava splashed, and Fudia, who was nearly split in two, let out a painful howl. It had already fled to the edge of the island, but was instantly blasted back to its original position.

[Absorbed a large amount of Devil Factor, Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening level +1%, current Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening level is 89.1% (Initial Awakening).]

Hughes stood still in the void, ignoring the prompt in his mind, and crimson flames erupted from beneath his feet.

"Bang!"

The flame thrusters reappeared, and with the immense propulsion, Hughes appeared above Fudia in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Fudia the Magma Demon had a deep, slit-like wound running from his left shoulder to his right waist, from which countless streams of magma flowed uncontrollably.

Combined with the large hole in his chest, it did indeed appear tragic.

The Devil Origin within him dissipated due to severe injuries, drifting out of his wounds and transforming into Devil Factor.

Hughes glanced at the panel and saw that the Awakening level of the Flame-Flame Fruit was rapidly increasing at a rate of 0.1% per second.

[Current Devil Fruit Awakening: 89.8% (Initial Awakening)]

[Currently, the Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening level is 90% (Complete Awakening).]

As if possessed by the god of fire, when the Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening and was Complete Awakening, Hughes inexplicably felt that he was the king of flames, with the illusion that he could control all the flames in the world as if they were his own limbs.

He glanced at the Fudia the Magma Demon on the ground, but without making any move, Fudia's magma body suddenly burst into flames.

The wailing began again.

"That's more like it! How could fire possibly be no match for magma!" Hughes thought to himself.

He still can't understand why, from any perspective, the potential of the Flame-Flame Fruit is much higher than that of the Magma-Magma Fruit.

Why is the Magma-Magma Fruit considered a superior fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit?

"Human, you've gone back on your word! I've done END a favor, and if you kill me, END will never let you get away with it!" Fudia said, his voice laced with bravado.

Hughes, always kind-hearted, loosened his grip with his left hand, and Natsu crashed into Fudia.

Since END has done them a favor, let END have a proper chat with them.

Flames and magma boiled, instantly enveloping Natsu like a dumpling.

Natsu, who was trying his best to suppress his instincts, completely lost control under such strong temptation.

Natsu lay on top of Fudia, his small mouth pursing, and the flames on Fudia's body flowed into his mouth like liquid.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, Fudia's originally deep red demonic body gradually turned charred black as Natsu frantically inhaled, completely losing its magma color.

He looked like he was dead!

Natsu's pupils began to turn deep red, and a violent, evil aura rose.

Suddenly, a deep sigh resounded in Hughes's ears!
