"Natsu, I heard you're a Fire Slayer Dragon Slayer. Before the duel, do you want to give you a fire to replenish your energy. ”

Looking at Natsu and the guild members who had come to watch, Rick unhurriedly pulled out his wand.

"That's not fair, I'll do my best to defeat you!"

Hearing Rick say that he was going to provide himself with flames, Natsu shook his head, put his arms in a punch position, and said to Rick.

"yes, let's get started."

Rick waved his wand and looked relaxed and apologetic, completely unaware of the duel as if it had been a difficult one.

"The new wizard Stryk actually uses a wand, it's so rare. It's rare to see a magician using a wand to attack magic. ”

"Yes, only the ancient magus would use a wand."

"Why don't the magicians use their wands much?"

"I don't know, but I've heard that the wand-wielding wizards are weaker, and gradually no one is using the wand."

“......”

Watching Rick pull out his wand, the onlookers chatted in amazement.

"The Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"

Natsu wrapped the dragon's flames around her hand and quickly charged towards Rick. The astonishing power made everyone shudder.

"Armor protection!"

Seeing that Natsu had rushed in front of him, Rick didn't dodge, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved his wand to cast an iron armor spell in front of him.

Natsu was overjoyed to see that his dragon's iron fist was about to hit Rick.

The other onlookers saw that Natsu's first move was about to succeed, and they all sweated for Rick. If this punch hits the body, the person will lose at least half his life, and don't think about it after lying in bed for half a month.

But the image that Natsu and the guild members imagined didn't happen, and when Natsu's fist was about to hit Rick, an invisible barrier blocked Natsu's fist.

Before Natsu could react to what was happening, he felt like his fist was hitting with a giant hammer, and the huge force transmitted from his fists, forearms, and joints to his whole body. Let him fly backwards.

"Ahhh

The pain was so intense that Natsu rolled on the ground.

"Wow, what just happened? Why did it be Natsu who fell to the ground?? ”

Everything happened so fast that Lucy didn't see clearly what magic Natsu was attacking, and she asked with a surprised expression, pulling Ramira's arm, puzzled.

"Well, Brother Rick cast a strange spell in front of him, and Natsu happened to bump into it, and then..."

Mira's eyes froze, and there was a rare real expression on her face.

Natsu is very young now, but he is much more powerful than most of the guild members. It's a very rare thing to be knocked down in such a move.

In the past, it was possible to do this level in the duel between Elusa and Natsu.

'Brother Rick, how strong is it?' ’

Doubts lingered in Mira's mind.

"What about Natsu, do you want to continue our duel?"

Looking at Natsu, who had just gotten up, Rick was still the same, with a slight smile on his face, and asked in a soft tone.

"I haven't lost yet? Go on! ”

Rick's words of concern meant for Natsu to make him admit defeat on the spot, but how could Natsu, who was stronger, stand this. Unless he is knocked unconscious, he will not admit defeat.

Seeing that Natsu wanted to fight again, Rick nodded, and then raised his wand again to Natsu to cast a "salvo of bullets".

In the eyes of everyone, the stone behind Rick began to hang in the air, and then flew towards Natsu at a great speed.

Seeing that Rick was manipulating the stone to attack him, Natsu quickly dodged and jumped high in the air, wanting to attack Rick in the air.

"Dragon's Roar!"

Natsu took a deep breath, gathered the power of the fire dragon in his body, and then opened his mouth and spat out the powerful flames condensed in his lungs at Rick.

"Armor protection!"

Seeing that this huge flame could consume him, Rick still did not dodge, and continued to use the Iron Armor Charm to resist Natsu's blow.

Natsu didn't stop attacking after using the dragon's roar, wrapping his arms around the dragon's flames and flapping them towards Rick like a pair of dragon wings.

But he was swallowed up by the roar of the rebounding fire dragon, and in order not to defeat himself by his attack, he hurriedly stopped the fire dragon's wing strike, opened his mouth and sucked the rebounding flames into his belly.

"Wow, it's really a dragon slayer magician, and he can still devour his own flames, it's really magic."

Seeing that Natsu swallowed up the roar of the fire dragon that had bounced back, Rick looked curious and clapped his hands in praise.

"Your magic is the most magical!"

Hearing Rick say that Natsu's dragon-slaying magic was magical, the onlookers of the guild members invariably complained about Rick. In their eyes, Rick has become an alien powerhouse.

The magic that could bounce back the roar of Natsu's fire dragon, they hadn't seen it before. Even Gray, who was with Natsu 55, and Elusa, who was bloodied Natsu, used their magic to break the dragon's roar instead of bounce him back intact.

"Brother Rick, you have to be careful from now on. I'm serious! The Flame of the Fire Dragon! ”

Natsu, who had a single-celled mind, didn't even realize how Rick bounced back his attack. He simply thought that it was because of the lack of attack power of his magic that Rick could prevent him.

He fused the dragon flames in his left and right hands, and a huge fireball appeared in front of him, which he held high above his head and threw it at Rick with all his might.

The heat of the huge fireball made the onlookers feel like they were in a furnace, and their whole bodies began to sweat.

"It's easy to cause a fire if it's not well controlled, Natsu. You're still young, you can't grasp this thing, so let me extinguish it. Fire Extinguishing Spell! ”

Watching Natsu use all of his magic to create a fireball that attacked him, Rick shook his head. Playing with fire is a very dangerous act, and he decides to extinguish the huge fireball in front of him.

"What ???"

With Natsu's stunned expression, the "Fire Dragon's Flame" he threw at Rick shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, stopping it from disappearing.

Rumble!

A detached Natsu fell to the ground, looking at Rick in disbelief. He couldn't figure out why his attack couldn't hit the other party, and even the magic "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame" that he was proud of was inexplicably cracked by the other party.

"Natsu, are you alright?"

Seeing that Natsu didn't have the strength to stand up, Lucy hurriedly ran to Natsu's side, supported him with both hands, and asked anxiously.
