Seeing Erza and Mirajane repel two dragons, Natsu was naturally also motivated.
He slammed his fist into his palm and said with an excited grin: "I'm fired up!"
With that, Natsu moved his feet, and his figure shot towards a rock dragon ahead like an arrow from a bow.
"Fire Dragon's... Iron Fist!"
Using the surrounding buildings, Natsu jumped above the rock dragon's head. His fist, wreathed in crimson flames, slammed down onto the rock dragon below with a dunking motion.
Bang-
The moment Natsu's fist landed on the rock dragon's back, a violent impact sound echoed through the air.
Although Natsu's punch made quite a commotion, its effect...
"So hard!"
Natsu, landing on the rock dragon's back, was shocked to see the dragon remain completely unmoved by his punch.
The huge commotion caused by Erza, Mirajane, and Natsu naturally attracted the attention of Future Rogue over there.
Future Rogue, standing on the white mother dragon's back, saw two dragons struck down and immediately turned his gaze towards Erza, Mirajane, and the group.
"Fairy Tail?!"
"Perfect timing!"
Future Rogue had originally wanted to destroy Fairy Tail. Now, seeing Erza, Mirajane, and the group catching up, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
"Atlas Flame, Kircheis, Zirconis..."
Under Future Rogue's command, the Hellfire Dragon, Jade Dragon... who were rampaging, all began moving towards the location of Erza, Mirajane, and the group.
"Not good! The dragons are all coming this way!"
Gray, seeing numerous dragons moving towards them, had a sudden change in expression.
"Charge!"
"Take down these dragons!"
Not long after Gray spoke, a large number of mages surged towards them.
Hearing this sudden sound, Gray, Lucy, and the others turned to look.
They saw mages from guilds like Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, and Sabertooth, led by Makarov, Jura, Sting, and others, rushing over in a mighty stream.
Of course, besides the guilds that made it to the official matches, many guilds eliminated in the preliminaries also came along.
"Master!"
"And everyone from the other guilds..."
Seeing Makarov, Jura, and the large number of mages, Gray and Lucy were overjoyed.
Subsequently, these mages, organized by guild, engaged the dragons one by one.
Boom Boom Boom-
Bang Bang Bang-
Soon, a multitude of colorful magics landed on the dragons.
And a series of explosion sounds echoed through the air.
The previously despairing Future Lucy, watching everyone fighting the dragons with all their might, also had constantly flickering eyes.
"Attack!"
"Let these dragons know the power of mages!"
...
Initially, the allied guilds' morale was very high.
But the good times didn't last long.
After all, morale alone couldn't defeat the dragons.
When the mages' magical attacks landed on the dragons, they finally discovered their attacks didn't harm the dragons in the slightest.
"What are you doing? Tickling me?"
"Completely useless!"
The dragons spoke mockingly to the mages before them.
Then, the dragons launched counterattacks against the mage guilds.
One dragon roared, and the mages standing before it were sent flying by the violent shockwave.
One dragon lifted its claw and slammed it down. Instantly, the ground shattered, and numerous mages were sent flying into the sky along with rock fragments.
One dragon opened its mouth, and violent flames engulfed everything around it.
…
In just a few seconds, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed.
The previously high-spirited mage guilds quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage.
And the mages also showed expressions of fear.
"Is this the power of dragons?"
"Damn it! And there are so many dragons this powerful!"
"How can we win?"
In the sky, Future Rogue, standing on the white mother dragon's back, laughed maniacally upon seeing the terrified expressions on the mages' faces: "Hahaha! You fools! Did you think dragons are so easily defeated?"
Bang-
While Future Rogue was laughing maniacally, a terrifyingly loud sound suddenly erupted through the air.
This sound drowned out the magical explosions and the dragons' roars.
It drowned out all other sounds, appearing exceptionally abrupt.
Hearing this terrifyingly loud sound, Future Rogue and the other mages all looked towards its source.
They saw a dragon in the sky, its huge body falling towards the ground in free fall.
The mages clearly saw that half of the dragon's body had been smashed by something.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the dragon with its body smashed landed heavily on the ground.
After the dragon's massive body hit the ground, everyone noticed a figure in a black cloak in the sky where the dragon had been.
The figure held its arm half-raised, hand formed into a claw.
And mages with good eyesight clearly saw blood staining the person's arm.
"What in the world..."
Looking at this sudden scene, Future Rogue and the mages were all immensely shocked.
They hadn't seen when the person in the black cloak appeared there.
At the same time, they vaguely guessed a possibility.
That was, the person in the black cloak had instantly killed that dragon.
But remembering how their magic had no effect on the dragons earlier, they rejected this guess in their hearts.
After all, no matter how strong a human was, they couldn't possibly kill a dragon with their bare hands.
Before the mages could recover from their awe, the figure in the black cloak in the sky transformed into a streak of light and instantly charged towards another dragon.
Bang-
In just an instant, another loud sound echoed through the air. The person in the black cloak rushed to a position behind the dragon.
And that dragon, like the one before, had half its body smashed, its massive body crashing to the ground.
Witnessing this scene, almost all the mages, including Future Rogue, had their pupils contract violently.
Their hearts surged with monstrous waves.
"This..."
"He actually killed that dragon with his bare hands?"
Seeing is believing.
They had rejected the thought of this person killing the dragon earlier because they hadn't seen the action.
But now, they saw this person kill a dragon with his bare hands with their own eyes.
"So strong! He's way too strong!"
"Is this Kenichi's true strength?"
Perhaps ordinary mages couldn't identify who the dragon-slayer was just by the black cloak, but the Fairy Tail's members all knew who it was.
While Lucy, Gray, and the others were immensely shocked, Natsu shouted excitedly.
"Kenichi?"
"That person is Kenichi?"
"Although I knew he was strong, this is too much! He instantly killed a dragon?"
Hearing Natsu's exclamation, the shocked mages all began discussing animatedly.
And seniors like Jura and Gildarts, looking at Kenichi in the sky, were first shocked, then showed gratified smiles on their faces.
"Ahh, I can't keep up with Kenichi's pace at all!"
Gildarts scratched his head and said with a smile.
"To have grown to such an extent!"
Jura also remarked.
After the mages fully recovered from their awe, cheers erupted through the air.
They had been having a headache about how to deal with so many dragons.
But after seeing Kenichi's strength, the fear in their hearts instantly vanished.
Now, it was replaced by excitement.
"Erza, Mirajane, did you already know Kenichi possessed such power?"
Gray, seeing that Erza, Wendy, and Mirajane showed no sign of surprise, asked.
"Yeah, we knew long ago!"
Erza turned to look at Gray and said.
And Mirajane also said with a smile: "Kenichi's strength is far greater than this!"
