Everyone outside the video was stunned by this news, unsure of what to say!
"Zeref is the emperor of Alvarez?!"
The higher-ups of Ishgar stared at the video in disbelief. This news truly shocked them.
The emperor of Alvarez, whom they feared immensely, was actually the legendary Zeref, the terrifying black wizard!
Tartaros.
The demons, upon learning Zeref's whereabouts, shed tears of excitement!
"Oh! Great Zeref, our creator!"
Mard Geer, the Underworld King, also showed an excited expression, murmuring, "We will definitely fulfill your wish!"
Fairy Tail.
"Master, is this true?!"
"That black wizard is actually the emperor of another country?!"
"This is too terrifying!"
"Natsu is actually facing such an enemy? What about us?"
"Right! We can't let Natsu face this enemy alone!"
The Fairy Tail members spoke out one after another, their words filled with concern and care for Natsu.
No one suggested abandoning Natsu.
Gray, Erza, Wendy, Lisanna, Lucy, Happy, and others moved closer to Natsu, determined not to let him come to any harm!
Master Makarov remained silent. He knew the strength of Alvarez but never imagined that Zeref was their emperor.
And from the video, it appeared that a million-strong army was invading Ishgar.
This future vision had revealed much information!
Alvarez.
The Spriggan 12.
The Desert King sneered, "Hmph, what kind of rubbish is this? How dare he attack His Majesty? It seems we need to turn him into a mummy!"
The Grim Reaper: "He is no match for His Majesty."
Larcade Dragneel: "Is he my uncle?"
Irene Belserion: "This magical power feels familiar... Igneel?"
[The video continues]
["Everyone, can you step back?"]
["Happy, you should also keep your distance."]
Happy, seeing this, flew far away, but his gaze never left Natsu.
["Is Natsu planning to use that move?"]
["Go, Natsu!"]
["Invel, order everyone to retreat dozens of kilometers to the west."]
Zeref issued the command in an unquestionable tone.
["But why would Your Majesty need to personally deal with such an opponent?"]
Invel showed a puzzled expression, along with extreme confidence in his own strength.
But Zeref replied lightly:
["This is something only I can do."]
Hearing this, Invel lowered his head and commanded the army to retreat.
["Everyone, fall back!"]
["His Majesty will pave the way for us!"]
The massive army retreated several kilometers in an instant.
["We won't hand the First Master over to you."]
["It's because you didn't destroy me that things turned out this way."]
["I don't understand what you're saying."]
["And I have no interest in understanding!"]
The moment Natsu unwrapped the bandages, scorching dark red flames engulfed his entire arm.
A red dragon-shaped pattern appeared on his arm, and as the pattern emerged, the ground beneath him grew intensely hot, showing signs of melting.
Even Zeref couldn't help but break into a cold sweat at the sight of these dark red flames, astonished by their terrifying power.
["What kind of magical power is this? Such heat!"]
But Natsu did not answer him.
["Take this, Zeref!"]
As he spoke, Natsu suddenly pushed off with his feet, launching himself forward. He raised his right fist, accompanied by terrifying flames, and slammed it heavily toward Zeref.
Zeref had no chance to counterattack against this punch.
He was sent flying instantly, his eyes rolling back as he briefly lost consciousness but quickly recovered.
With each swing of Natsu's fist, the temperature of the air rose, and those watching outside the video felt their mouths go dry.
A rain of punches fell on Zeref, forcing him into a passive defense.
Zeref could no longer remain calm...
This terrifying power suppressed him, leaving him unable to fight back.
However, Zeref seized an opportunity. A beam of white light shot from his hand, striking Natsu squarely in the face.
Splat.
A wound appeared on Natsu's cheek.
But he ignored the pain, continuing his frenzied attacks. The surrounding terrain underwent drastic changes.
The once towering mountain peak gradually melted into magma.
Everything around them was burning!
Their continuous attacks formed red and white spheres of light.
Boom!
Invel, observing from afar, also showed a look of horror. He never expected Natsu to be this powerful.
Natsu and Zeref collided arm against arm, the recoil sending them flying dozens of meters apart.
["I'm truly surprised. What kind of power is this?"]
["It's the power Igneel gave me, the last of his power left within me."]
["It took me ten full months to unleash this power."]
["The last of his power..."]
["Yes, it will disappear after this one use."]
["This is Igneel's determination!"]
As he spoke, massive flames erupted from Natsu's body, gradually forming the phantom of a giant dragon behind him!
It was Igneel!
["The power of the deceased... I see."]
["In that case, it might truly be able to destroy an immortal."]
Zeref showed an excited expression, as if longing for death.
["Fire Dragon King Mode!"]
Dark red flames enveloped Natsu's entire body, erupting and spreading for kilometers, engulfing Zeref. The entire continent began to burn.
["Amazing. Even the earth is burning."]
Zeref marveled, looking around.
The Spriggan 12 outside the video no longer held their earlier contempt. If this level of magical power were directed at them...
Hisss.
Some of the Spriggan 12 broke into a cold sweat. These flames would likely burn them to ashes!
They couldn't help but worry for their emperor.
In the video.
Flames filled with determination covered Natsu's right fist as he roared:
["It ends here, Zeref!"]
["Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist!"]
A colossal wave of flames surged toward Zeref!
Absolutely terrifying!
However, perplexingly, Zeref showed no panic. He didn't even seem to consider dodging.
["I never thought my wish would be fulfilled like this."]
A sense of liberation appeared on Zeref's face as he gazed softly at Natsu.
His expression was completely different from Natsu's ferocity!
A tear fell from Zeref's eye, dropping onto the flames.
Dark pupils reflected numerous figures.
["Thank you, Igneel, Anna, Layla, Mavis, and my beloved younger brother...!"]
["Natsu!"]
