Whoosh—!
Natsu's entire body was engulfed in blazing flames.
Boom!
Flames erupted from Natsu's feet, and he charged rapidly towards Tutu Maru.
Purple flames!
Tutu Maru quickly unleashed flames to defend himself.
Bang!
The flames had no effect on Natsu. The next moment, Natsu appeared before Tutu Maru.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Bang!!
"Ugh!"
Tutu Maru felt a terrifying force strike him.
"This punch... what's going on?!... It's not a Mage's punch at all!"
"This is completely different from what the Master said! Fairy Tail actually has such a powerful guy?!"
Natsu took a deep breath, concentrating his magic in his throat.
Seeing Natsu's posture, Tutu Maru immediately understood what magic he was about to use. He quickly extended seven fingers, each releasing various colored flames from its tip.
The seven colors of flame combined, forming Tutu Maru's strongest magic.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!!"
A violent storm of flames erupted from Natsu's mouth, rushing directly towards Tutu Maru.
"Strongest Magic: Seven-Colored Flames!!"
Tutu Maru also unleashed his flames, meeting the incoming attack.
The two streams of flame collided.
"Boom—!!!"
A terrifying impact burst outwards.
"Break through!!!"
Natsu roared in his heart.
Boom—!
The Fire Dragon's Roar shattered the opponent's Seven-Colored Flames, striking Tutu Maru's body.
"Ugh ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Tutu Maru let out a painful scream.
After the flames dissipated, Tutu Maru stood in place, his body charred black.
"This... and the Master... said... it's different!"
Thud!
After speaking, Tutu Maru collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Natsu raised his fist.
"The match is decided!!"
"Winner: Natsu of Fairy Tail!"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!
All the spectators in the stands cheered.
"That was amazing!"
"Yeah! He can even eat flames and breathe them out!"
"Although the beginning was a bit rough, the magic later on was incredible!"... "Splendid! Truly splendid! Is this the power of a top-tier Mage?! So, Mr. Natsu is the legendary Fire Dragon of Fairy Tail!"
"Fire Dragon!!!"
Hearing the announcer's broadcast, the crowd in the stands finally realized that Natsu was the famous Fire Dragon.
The Fire Dragon's reputation was extremely high, all stemming from his knack for causing trouble, which was constantly reported. However, causing trouble itself represented a certain skill, so Natsu gained quite a few fans.
"Fire Dragon!"
"Fire Dragon!"
"Fire Dragon!"...
Listening to the cheers from the stands, Natsu felt immense satisfaction, finally venting the resentment caused by Phantom Lord's destruction of the guild.
At the same time, Natsu's confidence soared.
"Who's next from Phantom Lord?! Come up here!!!" Natsu raised a flaming middle finger.
Phantom Lord members were furious at Natsu's arrogance. Before they could curse him out,
"Huh?! Fairy Tail is making a substitution! That means Natsu will have to leave the arena!"
"What?!!"
Natsu's eyes widened in disbelief. He had just gotten fired up, but now he was being told to leave.
"I'm not going down! I can still fight!"
He didn't want to leave, and then he saw Erza glaring at him with cold eyes, which immediately sent a shiver down Natsu's spine.
He reluctantly walked off the arena and into the lounge area.
"Qi Yan, what are you doing?! I just got fired up, I can still take on five more!"
Qi Yan smiled and said, "I know you can still fight, but what I want is not just to defeat them. I want a complete overwhelming victory! I want everyone to know how big the gap is between our Fairy Tail and their Phantom Lord."
Natsu was startled by Qi Yan's gaze. He realized that it wasn't just him who was angry; Qi Yan was even angrier. If Qi Yan was provoked, Phantom Lord was in deep trouble.
Phantom Lord lounge area
"Useless! To actually be defeated by a mere Fairy Tail member, and not even an S-Class Mage at that, this guy is truly useless!"
Jose, the Master of Phantom Lord, was furious, his face contorted in rage. His carefully trained Four Elements had been defeated by someone who wasn't even an S-Class Mage. Wasn't that saying his Four Elements were inferior to Fairy Tail's S-Class Mages?
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's his bad luck to run into the Fire Dragon."
Gajeel said with an indifferent expression, eating a piece of iron.
Jose also calmed down slightly. Indeed, the Fire Dragon was the bane of all fire Mages. Fire would not only not harm the Fire Dragon, but it would also become his ally.
However, that brat actually learned how to dispel Tutu Maru's control over fire during the battle. That brat's talent... "Sol, you're up! This time, you must win, no losing! Go and thoroughly defeat those useless Fairy Tail members!"
Jose sent out Sol of Earth, one of the Four Elements.
"Understood!"
"Oh oh! Phantom Lord has sent out Sol of Earth, one of the Four Elements. Who will Fairy Tail send out to fight?"
"I'll go!"
Natsu had already made his appearance, and Gray was also getting impatient, immediately preparing to enter the arena.
"No, Elfman, you go!"
"Wait! No! Qi Yan, you don't know... Elfman can't fight. If it were just ordinary Mages from Phantom Lord, it would be fine, but if the opponent is one of the Four Elements..."
Qi Yan didn't speak, but instead looked at Elfman.
"I'll go!!"
Elfman stood up and said with firm eyes.
"Fairy Tail's chosen fighter is Elfman, known as Beast Arm!"
"Hmph! Is Fairy Tail out of people? Sending out such small fry. They're not sending Gildarts, Laxus, or Mystogan. How arrogant."
Gajeel said with a displeased expression. Just as Fairy Tail understood Phantom Lord, Phantom Lord also understood Fairy Tail's S-Class Mages, knowing that Gildarts of Fairy Tail was known as the guild's strongest Mage.
"But this is good too. Then let Fairy Tail taste what it's like to be completely crushed."
"Hello! I am Sol. Please call me Gentleman Sol."
"Hmph! I don't care who you are. Since you've provoked Fairy Tail, you're my enemy!"
"Fairy Tail VS Phantom Lord, Round Two!"
"Start—!!!"
Clang—!
"Beast Arm: Black Ox!"
Elfman's right arm transformed into a Black Ox arm, an arm with the powerful strength of a black ox and formidable defensive capabilities.
"Oh my?! Is that rumor true? I know about you. No, I know all information about Fairy Tail."
"Blah, blah, blah, you're annoying!"
