The night of the sky seemed to be dyed layer after layer of light ink, and although it was dark everywhere, there was a faint white light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA scorching wind swept through the streets of the center of Intramuros, which had been razed to the ground.

In the distance, on the roof of a cathedral that seemed to have been shoveled down by a huge military shovel, Harpy was struggling to clutch the cross on the roof with his cat's paw to prevent himself from being swept up by the strong wind, and his other cat's paw clutched a part of Natsu's scarf, the rest of which had been burned, and his most precious backpack containing fish.

Suddenly, his backpack was filled with blue light, which peeked through the gaps in his backpack. It floats in the air like a balloon filled with hydrogen. Harpy had to claw it in his arms. Worried about what the blue light would do to his fish, he unbuckled his backpack.

A dazzling blue light formed a small "rainbow bridge", and a man appeared at the other end of the light.

"Love! Fukou ......"

Harpy dragged his backpack with tears in his eyes and was about to rub it against Fuko, but Fuko pushed him to the right distance with his toes. Using the real guards in the hopy's backpack, Fuko teleported himself to the closest point to the central battlefield.

"Where's Natsu? Haven't you been following him all the time? ”

"...... there"

Harpy pointed aggrievedly at the demon of fire who was battling the fire dragon with his pointed claws.

When Fu Kou heard his words, he looked at the Flame Demon in a daze for a long time before asking, "How did he become like that?" Where did that dragon come from? ”

"I don't know ......"

"Tell me everything you know."

"We ...... We've been chasing the jackals of the Nine Ghost Gates...... Then we met Jelf...... Jelf killed the jackal...... Jelf says that Gray's father died, and that Igniel was killed by him, and then Natsu became like that, and then the dragon appeared! ”

Harpy was terrified and trembled. His words were bits and pieces, but Fuko at least knew that the key person who had made Natsu what she was was was was Gerf.

"This dragon...... Ignier ...... Could this dragon be the Igniel Natsu has been looking for? ”

"I don't know...... Natsu likes Ignir very much, and he won't fight with Igniel like this. ”

"Okay...... At least now things are progressing. ”

The "progress" that Fuko refers to is the three almost unrealistic steps that Speaker Quran proposed to all the magicians at the beginning. The first step is to destroy the Gates of Hades. The second step is to eliminate Jelf. The third step is to destroy the black dragon. Now the first step is finally complete. But what about the second and third steps?

"Fuko, you're going to make Natsu go back to the way he was, right?" Harpy asked pitifully.

"I ...... As much as possible. ”

Although Fuko had made comforting promises before, at this juncture, he didn't want to promise anything he wasn't sure about. He didn't know how to get Natsu back to his original form, or even why Natsu was the way he was...... Maybe not.

Fuko knew he was deceiving himself.

If Lucy had completely retold what President Maldo had said before he died, then this farce was to unleash Jelf's most powerful demon, "END". Almost at the same time that the Book of Demons was destroyed, the entire royal city underwent a drastic change.

First of all, the demons of Hadesgate died without warning, unable to be resurrected, and the eggs turned to powder. Secondly, there is the appearance of the demon of fire that Natsu has become.

Is Natsu END?

Abbreviation of the name Etrias Naz Doragnir......

Natsu's strength stats have also fluctuated under the systematic assessment......

Jelf's affection for Natsu......

All the evidence points to this possibility. Fuko is also well aware that this may be the truth.

"Fuko, what are we going to do?" Harpy asked.

"I can only stop their battle first, and now there are ordinary people in the royal city who have not been able to leave, only a little bit...... Then, this will be our battleground. ”

Near the church, no, more and more mages appeared near the entire central battlefield. They all volunteered to stay behind to deal with Jelf and the two monsters, and if they were unlucky, they would have to accept the fate of a duel with the black dragon. The ordinary soldiers of the kingdom were responsible for evacuating the people, and the king and princess were also sent out of the city this time, and only those warriors who were proficient in magic were allowed to stay.

Fairy Tail, Serpent Scales, Teal Pegasus, Sword Biting Tiger, Magic Council, Black Dragon Hunter...... Some of the magicians of each faction chose to leave, and the rest can be said to have stayed voluntarily or forcedly.

The order of the Speaker of the Quran is to be less safe and not to be impatient. Since the Flame Demon and the Fire Dragon are not attacking their mages and the people who are leaving, but are killing each other, it is better to let them fight for a while.

It was a strange night for all kinds of strange creatures of the magical world to make an appearance here, and even if a creature like a dragon that disappeared four hundred years ago appeared, they wouldn't be surprised, not to mention that there were people who had witnessed the wandering of the Starcast Dragon King in advance.

It's just that this order of the Speaker of the Guran may not be able to comply with it. Now that he knew that the Demon of Fire was Natsu, he had to figure out how to restore Natsu to his original form.

Mebis was just a mindful body, and she couldn't interfere with Jerf, who had a physical body and was incomparably powerful, she could only watch him confidently fly towards the battlefield of the two-headed monster.

At this time, the Fire Demon and the Fire Dragon still couldn't tell the winner. It should be said that Ignir could not be ruthless to his adopted son, and the Demon of Fire was not able to truly master his power.

Ignir knew that time was running out for him, and he had spent the only chance he should have had against the Black Dragon to save his adopted son, and if he couldn't do anything, it would be too much of a failure.

"Natsu, wake me up!"

Ignir tried to use his voice to wake up Natsu, and the fire demon also wavered for a moment, only to suddenly go berserk again and attack Ignir violently. Ignir used hard skin scales to defend, but the power of the fire demon also contained the mystery of dragon-slaying magic, which made Ignir gradually a little overwhelmed.

At this time, Jelf sneaked up on him.

Jelf kicked Ignir to the side of his long face, but the incredible impact sent the dragon flying out of the sky, rolling through the shattered ruins.

The Flame Demon roared excitedly.

Ignir landed on all fours, got to his feet, and roared, "Jelf, you have betrayed our oath!" ”

"It's not a betrayal, it's just a change." Jerph replied calmly, "I did promise to lend you my brother's power to defeat the Black Dragon, but in doing so, I will suffer forever. Four hundred years ago, I thought I could handle everything, so I agreed, but now I realize that it was very wrong. ”

"Fire Dragon King, I don't care if I can kill the black dragon now. All I care about is if my curse can be lifted so that I can say goodbye to this miserable world once and for all. END is not done using his true power yet, so I'm really glad you are here, you will keep him angry, END wants to kill me, he will kill all the beings who want to stop him from doing so, he doesn't remember who you are......"

Before Jelf finished speaking, he was held in the hands of the Fire Demon, but Jelf shook his head in disappointment, the power of the immortal curse quickly made the Fire Demon let go of Jelf, and the power of the backlash made the Fire Demon lose the entire right half of his body.

"Ignir, use the few minutes you have left to fight END and unleash his power once and for all." Jelf made a final assessment.

That's when something they didn't expect happened.

A shaped blue light stretched out like a rubber band, and then locked the Flame Demon's throat like an iron shackle, and then more blue light enveloped the Flame Demon's body. Having lost half of his body, he let out a wail, and was pulled backwards by the endless stream of powerful ropes, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Well done, boy!" Ignier's sharp eyes caught the truth.

Jeelf floated high and saw the source of the blue ropes as well.

Fuko was half-kneeling on the ground, several glowing magic arrays circling under his feet. His telekinesis materialized into a tangible blue rope, and it also has the effect of a seal, which he originally practiced to deal with the black dragon, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Although the Flame Demon was composed of flames, under the influence of the telekinetic rope, there was no way to flow out, and the Flame Demon could not get rid of this tangible bondage.

"Very good magician." "If you were cursed by the god Axellam," said Jelf, "I would be willing to fight you here for a long time and die willingly at your hands." Unfortunately, I can't let you ruin the situation I've orchestrated right now. ”

The dark magic of death was unreservedly directed at Fuko. It's just that the Fire Dragon King spread his wings and stopped the magic of death.

Ignir silently observed this human era in Natsu's body, and of course knew the young man in front of him who was familiar with Natsu. His four claws held down the limbs of the Flame Demon so that the Flame Demon could not struggle.

"What should I do?" Fuko was now certain that the dragon belonged to him, and that it was supposed to be Ignir. He asked Igniel in a loud voice.

But it was Jerf who answered him.

"Fuko, give up. Once Natsu becomes END, he will only be able to lift this rage mode by killing me. However, if I, the creator of the demons, die, all the demons will die with me, including Natsu. It's an endless loop, everything you do is in vain, give up. ”
