149: Chapter 149: Outbreak! Natsu's Meteor ShowerErigor's gaze was fixed on the cursed flute, simply wrapped in cloth and tucked at Erza's waist.His forehead veins bulged with rage as he roared at Kageyama inside the clockwork pedestal:
"Kageyama!You good-for-nothing idiot!Open your dog eyes and take a look!"
Delivering the Cursed Flute to the 'Fairy Queen' in person—is that what you call completing a mission?
The clock stand's soundproofing was clearly only effective against the outside, and Kageyama inside immediately shrank into a ball in fright.
The other Iron Forest members also showed expressions of fear upon hearing the title "Fairy Queen," and their morale instantly plummeted.
Eligor suppressed his anger, looked at Erza, whose face was cold and stern on the ground, and attempted a final negotiation, saying solemnly:
"'Queen of the Fairies,' is it.I advise you not to meddle!Hand over the flute, and we can pretend nothing happened!"
Hearing their conversation, Erza finally understood.
The Iron Forest Guild's goal was not to release any ancient demons at all; in fact, the evil cursed flute itself was one of the key objectives of their plan!
She raised her longsword once more, pointing it steadily at Eligoth in the sky, her voice firm and powerful:
"Surrender, Erigor!Whatever your schemes may be, they end here!"
Seeing that negotiations were hopeless, Erigor sneered disdainfully: "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!Hmph!You're all S-class mages, do you really think I, 'Death God,' would be afraid of you, 'Queen'?"
He then roared at all the Iron Forest members below, "Attack together!Take them down!Reclaim the flute!"
Having said that, he took the lead, his body swirling with whirlwind, and charged towards Erza like a swooping falcon!
Behind him, a huge horde of Iron Forest Mages roared and surged forward like a tide!
Seeing this, Lucy nervously hugged Pru tightly: "So many people.what should we do?"
Natsu grinned, revealing sharp teeth, his fighting spirit high: "What are these few people?Watch me!"
He swiftly formed hand seals and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique—!"
Bang bang bang bang bang.!!
In an instant, the entire station platform and even the track area were filled with a dense crowd of people!
A thousand Natsu clones, each with a menacing aura and eyes burning with fighting spirit, appeared out of thin air and surrounded the Iron Forest group who were charging towards them!
The numbers reversed instantly!
Stared at by countless menacing gazes of "Natsu," the members of the Iron Forest huddled together back to back, trembling as they looked up at their leader in the sky.
"W-What do we do, boss?This is way too much!"
Eric was also sweating profusely, but he still refused to believe it and stubbornly insisted:
"No, impossible!Absolutely impossible!It must be an illusion!Yes!It's a high-level illusion!Don't be scared!"
Looking at the scene before her, a sight that could be described as the ultimate in human wave tactics, Lucy's mouth dropped open in astonishment:
"W-So that wasn't your limit before?You should have said so earlier if you had that ability!"
Erza turned sharply to look at Natsu, a hint of surprise and relief flashing in her eyes: "I didn't expect.you've grown to this extent."
It seems I'll have to give it my all to accept your challenge next!
Gray clenched his fists, watching Natsu's retreating figure, and thought to himself:
"Is this the source of Natsu's confidence to challenge Erza again.It seems I've been a bit lax lately."
At this point, unwilling to believe the truth, Eligoll had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuade his subordinates:
"Charge!These are all illusions!Just a scare tactic!Charge!"
His shout spurred some of the blindly loyal Iron Forest members to yell back and charge forward despite their fear.
Natsu and his thousands of clones showed no mercy in response.They took a deep breath, the surrounding air thinned, their chests bulged, and violent fire magic began to gather!
"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique - Fire Dragon's - Meteor Shower!"
Natsu's main body and all his clones roared simultaneously!
In an instant, countless rubber fists wrapped in scorching flames, like infinitely extending fire meteors, slammed into the position of the Iron Forest members with overwhelming force and ferocity!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
After a series of deafening and continuous explosions!
The place where the original Iron Forest members gathered is now just a huge, charred crater, with a few unfortunate souls lying scattered inside, stunned by the aftershocks of the flames.
The vast majority of the Iron Forest members, along with their will to resist, were annihilated by this attack!
Only Erigor, floating in the air, relied on the extreme speed granted by wind magic and a moment of decisiveness to desperately escape upwards, narrowly avoiding this devastating carpet bombing!
But he was also terrified by the terrifying destructive power and scope, his face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lucy stared at the enormous crater and murmured, "Such.such exaggerated destructive power.more violent than ever before."
Kageyama, who originally used shadow magic to sneak out through the crack in the clock tower's door.
After witnessing this earth-shattering scene, he was so frightened that he scrambled back into the clockwork stand, slamming the door shut, afraid of being targeted by the fire demon outside.
He sat in the clock stand, hugging his knees, trembling and muttering to himself.
The Horologian faithfully echoed his thoughts: "'The outside world is too terrible.it's full of monsters.it's safer here.' that's what he said."
Upon hearing this, Lucy looked at the scorched earth and nodded vigorously in deep agreement.
At this moment, Eric GorAll their ambitions and dreams of power were scared away by Natsu's "meteor shower"!
He had only one thought in his mind right now—escape!Immediately!Right now!Get away from these Fairy Tail monsters!
Without hesitation, he turned around, unleashing his wind magic to its fullest extent, and like a frightened bird, he desperately flew towards the distant horizon!
Erza, of course, would not do as he wished!
"Transformation - Wind God's Armor!"
A dazzling magical light flashed, and Erza's armor instantly transformed!
A light, tribal-style robe adorned with cyan wings covered her entire body, greatly enhancing her speed and agility, and giving her exceptional resistance and control over wind magic!
"Don't even think about escaping, Eric Gor!"
Erza let out a sharp cry, her feet propelling her forward.The extreme speed granted by the Wind God Armor burst forth, transforming her into a silver meteor as she raced after the fleeing "Grim Reaper"!A clear sonic boom cloud was left in the air behind her!
