Chapter 9: Untitled

readx;?“ Your sword, I take it!"

With Natsu's shouting, the part of the long sword that matched the armor of the Flame Emperor, the first half of which was held by Natsu, melted into a puddle of molten metal under the surprised gaze of the others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Holding only half of her sword, Elusa stepped back. Natsu tried to continue the pursuit, but there was a faint feeling of weakness in his body, so he gave up his intention to pursue, and the scaly flames in the palm of his hand slowly subsided: sure enough, the magic power consumption of this move was a bit large.

"Change your costume, Infernal Armor!"

Seeing that Natsu didn't call, Elusa took the opportunity to change her armor. The fiery Red Flame Emperor's armor disappeared, and the next moment, the pitch-black armor wrapped her whole body, her long red hair stood up wildly, and a huge serrated knife appeared on her right hand.

Luo Xiu's eyelids twitched when he saw the armor: "Bad choice." Can't you be relieved without experiencing the plot of the Tower of Paradise...... It's really annoying plot inertia. ”

"What a lot of magic, Elusa, are you finally starting to get serious?"

Natsu adjusts the flow of mana and the chaotic breathing in her body while using the conversation to buy a little time.

"Infernal Armor. This can't be used on your peers...... However, the sword that can melt the armor of the Flame Emperor, now you can make me go all out without scruples! I'm going to go, Natsu!"

"Come on!"

The Infernal Armor is worthy of being Elusa's second-ranked powerful armor, and its speed has increased by at least 50% compared to when she wore the Flame Emperor's Armor before. The increase in strength was even more obvious, and Elusa sprinted forward, stepping the ground into a large crater half a meter deep and nearly four meters in diameter.

Natsu's eyes widened, and the pupils of his eyes had turned into crimson vertical pupils after being blessed with the power of the dragon. Because the previous mana consumption was relatively large, Natsu was not wrapped in flames all over his body at this time, only the soles of his feet were burning.

With each evasion, the flames on Natsu's feet jerked, unleashing an extremely short, small, but powerful explosion of fire in the opposite direction of his evasion. With the reaction of this small explosion, Natsu dodged Elusa's attack with great dexterity.

"That's Natsu?the Natsu who only knows how to use brute force?!"

"It's a long time! Elusa is actually being teased!"

"I must be dreaming......"

“boom!”

Once again, the attack missed, and there was another deep pit in the ground. Elusa gasped and looked at Natsu with a serious face as her magic and aura gradually stabilized.

"Are you tired? Then change me! Take a good look, this is what I have specially trained to surpass you Elusa!"

Natsu took a deep breath, and a huge amount of magic and flames poured out of his body at once. The shape and color of the flame are different from the previous flame, and you can feel the difference just by looking at it!

"Twenty percent of the dragon's power is liberated, Long Yan!"

The ultra-dense dragon flame began to solidify, concentrating on Natsu's hands. It was a terrifying flame that could sublimate the rock, but the air near it showed no signs of heating up and distorting.

"Really, really, what an amazing move!"

Elusa let out a breath, and the Infernal Armor on her body disappeared, replaced by a beautiful set of pink armor. The ears are covered with feather-like decorations, and the hands hold the twin swords that match the armor style: "Fairy Armor!"

When the magic power of both of them reached its peak, Makarov and Rosho said in a deep voice at the same time: "It's time to decide the winner." ”

Natsu and Elusa responded.

"Dragon Slaying Mystery, Red Lotus Flame Blade!"

"Fairy Twin Sword Strike?"

Natsu alternately danced his hands, and the dragon flame solidified on it released a powerful fire blast every time he touched the target.

Elusa slashed with both swords, and the verdant magic sword aura was so thick that it seemed to burst out with lightning.

At this time, the only special effect is the explosion.

boom~Shakaraka~

Through the barrier, the onlookers did not feel the impact of the explosion, but the speed of the dust flying from inside and the vibration from the ground made them somewhat understandable.

"Well, that's to be expected. Luo Xiu shook his fingers, the barrier disappeared, and the smoke and dust of the explosion spread outward. Shaking his finger again, a gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust, and on the messy ground, the figure still standing was Elusa in pink armor.

Makarov announced with a look on his face: "Winner, Elusa!"

Others also began to talk about it as a matter of course:

"Sure enough, Elusa is stronger!"

"Well, how could Natsu win that Elusa?"

However, a few sharp-eyed people noticed some minor cases. For example, the cracks in Elusa's twin swords and armor, such as the lack of wounds on Natsu's body on the ground.

"This guy, when did he become so strong?Uncle Rosho......" Glancing at Natsu, who had fainted on the ground after running out of mana, Gray looked at the back of Rosho walking into the union, thoughtfully.

Laxus, who was secretly watching the play on the second floor of the union, silently retracted his upper body. In the end, he saw it very clearly: "Is Natsu's kid so strong? That uncle who can't be old is really that powerful?" Heh, no matter what, 'when the time comes' to force him to make a move, you will know!"

After watching the play, the crowd dispersed. The townspeople went back to work, and the union members went back to the union to continue their fun.

Elusa put away the broken fairy armor and carried Natsu (Mistless) into the guild with a look of relief.

After settling Natsu, Elusa sat down next to Rosho and asked Mira for a snack and a large portion of meat.

Luo Xiu took a sip of tea and said lightly, "You lost." ”

Elusa smiled, "yes, lost. ”

"Want to know what training Natsu had during those two years?"

"No, I don't. Teacher, your training plan is always tailor-made for us. ”

"The [Cangxing] who is a teacher is not yet suppressed by a mere 20% of the dragon slaying mysteries. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

"There's no need to say this to the teacher. It's time to move forward, Elusa. Armor can protect your body, but it can't protect your heart. Curled up in it, it will stop. ”

That's all Luo Xiu said.

He can't "save the world" as enthusiastically as he once did. Some of the things I do occasionally, and what I say, are just random things. The more he wears it, the less emotionally he invests in people and the world.

Outside the union gate, a frogman walked in. The noisy liquor and the strong smell of alcohol made him frown. But he didn't dare to say anything, he was lucky enough to see the last scene of the previous duel. The frogman himself is not powerful, but he is now in a very cautious state.

He walked straight to the counter and said respectfully to Makarov, who was sitting there, "Hello, President Makarov of the Holy Ten. ”

Makarov's face was not very good from the moment he saw the frog. He raised his eyelids in ignorance, and said sarcastically: "Oh, isn't this the envoy of the council?

The frog also seemed accustomed to being treated like this by Makarov: "During the Iron Forest incident a few days ago, several members of your guild were quite active and performed well. That's why I've decided to reward your guild, and by the way, I'd like to hear the opinions of the magicians who were active in the incident. Please send someone to come with me. ”

"Oh, is there such a good thing?" Makarov was immediately happy when he heard that it was not a bad thing: "Since it is a commendation, it must have been done earlier." Elusa, come here!"

"President, is there anything wrong?" Elusa walked over.

"This is the emissary of the Council. You did a good job in the Iron Forest incident last time, so I said I wanted to reward you. But they seem to be planning to know more about what happened, can I ask you?"

"Understood. Without further ado, Mr. Emissary, let us go. Elusa said solemnly to the frogman.

When the frogman saw that it was Elusa, he trembled in fright: "Yes, yes!"

Seeing Elusa leave, Luo Xiu refilled a pot of tea for himself, and thought as he drank:

"Calculate carefully, it's been almost a thousand years since I came here, and the soul fragments haven't reacted at all. And Elusa's trip to parliament turned out to be a success, and the plot inertia of the world is stronger than I expected. If I think so, could it be that the fragments of my soul are ......?"
