Seeing Natsu being pushed to the brink, everyone from Fairy Tail was shocked. Could it be that he can't defeat them?
Makarov worried, "What exactly is going on?"
Mavis explained, "The two of them have activated Dragon Power mode, which is a magic amplification state. Combined with their perfect coordination, it's very formidable!"
Laxus said indifferently, "Don't worry, Natsu will definitely win."
Since Natsu was able to knock him down back then, he knew exactly how much potential that guy had.
Natsu's whole body blazed with flames, and the surrounding ground turned into a zone of fire, directly forcing Sting and Rogue back. A fighting spirit appeared on his face. "You two are quite capable, but you're still far from it."
Sting was a bit puzzled. You've been beaten into this state, how do you still dare to say we're not good enough?
Natsu turned into a burning fireball and rushed out, arriving in front of Sting. After dodging the white light attack, he punched him in the face and then kicked him away.
He saw Rogue rushing over, and at the moment of the attack, he grabbed the opponent's hand and slammed him hard into the ground.
"So fast!"
Sting saw that Natsu's speed had gone up another level and was shocked. The opponent hadn't used his full strength at all and was still observing their flaws.
Rogue was kicked away by Natsu, flipped in mid-air, turned into a shadow to move along the ground, and instantly arrived behind Natsu, opening his mouth to condense magic: "Shadow Dragon's Roar!"
A black tornado storm broke through the air, like a Shadow Dragon letting out a ferocious Roar.
"Fire Dragons Roar!"
Natsu reacted instantly, meeting it with a Roar of his own, directly blasting apart Rogue's Roar and sending him flying along with it.
By now, Sting and Rogue were covered in wounds, but they still struggled to get up.
They were determined to surpass the people they admired; they absolutely could not fall here.
"Natsu-san, you really are strong!"
"Hmm?"
Natsu was slightly taken aback and said, "Use whatever hidden moves you have. Don't make excuses when you lose."
"Then I won't be polite!"
As his voice fell, a burst of white light erupted, illuminating the entire sky.
A smile appeared on Sting's face as he struck a pose to throw a punch: "Dragon Slaying Secret Art... Holy Nova!"
In an instant, all the white light condensed into his fist. As the punch was thrown, a dazzling light erupted, tearing apart the ground ahead.
Such a terrifying strike almost blinded the audience. Just when everyone thought it would be effective, a shocking scene occurred.
Natsu actually caught Sting's fist with one hand, taking the Dragon Slaying Secret Art head-on!
The host Jellal Fernandez shouted excitedly, "Natsu-san has withstood Sting's Dragon Slaying Secret Art! What confidence and strength!"
Lector's eyes widened, "How is that possible?"
That was one of Sting's strongest moves, yet with just one hand... Sting on the field was in disbelief. If the opponent had activated Dragon Power to block it, he could have accepted it, but he was currently in his normal state. Was the gap really that huge?
Natsu sent Sting flying with a punch and said indifferently, "You guys still can't activate the true power of a Dragon Slayer Mage."
True Dragon Power causes scales to grow on one's body; these two clearly couldn't do that yet.
His figure blurred, appearing in front of Rogue and punching him in the abdomen, sending him flying dozens of meters into the ruins.
Flames erupted from Natsu's whole body. Black-red flames soared into the sky, and the surrounding buildings showed signs of melting.
Looking at Sting and Rogue's shocked expressions, he said coldly, "Next is the strike I'm returning to your guild on behalf of Lucy. If you can survive, then don't make an enemy of Fairy Tail again."
"Dragon Slaying Secret Art, Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"
Flames rose behind Natsu, turning into a Phoenix flying through the sky, then crashing through everything. Destructive power erupted, incinerating everything in its path.
Shock appeared on Sting and Rogue's faces. They could feel the intense heat of those terrifying flames even before they touched them. The two didn't dare to hesitate and launched their strongest combined attack.
"Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang!"
The two released all their magic. Two large energy spheres, one black and one white, quickly fused and grew, then were fired with full force. A thick black-and-white beam instantly collided with the fire tornado.
Rumble!
A violent explosion occurred. All the buildings were destroyed by the colliding magic, turning into scorched earth and a zone of lava.
"The collision of three Dragon Powers—Fire attribute, Holy attribute, and Shadow attribute—it's truly too strong."
"Natsu Dragneel is fighting two alone. Will he succeed?"
The audience stared intently at this scene. The battle between the three was truly explosive. Compared to Acnologia's battle, which lacked any sense of beauty, this kind of collision was much more exciting.
The host Jellal Fernandez was so excited his wig even flew off, his voice becoming even more passionate: "Both sides have used their ultimate moves! Let's see who will emerge victorious!"
Lucy held Happy, looking at the screen full of smoke and dust, her expression tense: "Is it decided?"
"He will definitely win!" Fairy Tail was full of confidence in Natsu.
Soon, the smoke dissipated, revealing the figures of the three. Natsu's body was still upright, while Sting and Rogue were unsteady, swaying and falling backward.
"We lost... Natsu-san is too strong..."
Rogue and Sting exhausted all their magic and finally collapsed to the ground.
After the illusory magic space detected their condition, a golden light covered them, teleporting the two who had lost their fighting capacity out.
"The winner, Natsu Dragneel!"
As Jellal Fernandez's voice fell, the broadcast voice followed: "Fairy Tail Second Team's Natsu has defeated Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue."
The entire venue erupted in cheers, the sound echoing through the clouds.
The members of Fairy Tail all jumped up; in a one-on-two fight, Natsu had won after all.
Makarov was extremely excited, "This is the strength of our guild, the strength of conviction!!"
Erza leaned on the railing, a smile appearing on her face, "Natsu can always create miracles. I have always believed in that."
Laxus gave a light laugh, "That guy is going to be arrogant for several days again."
Of course, if Natsu came over to mock him for being eliminated so early, he would make sure that guy couldn't laugh anymore.
Grimoire Heart's Zancrow couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Fire Dragon Natsu, wait for me. Don't lose to anyone else!"
Although the current Natsu was much stronger than before, he had also become stronger.
Azuma praised, "Barring any accidents, the next victory will be theirs."
"Fairy Tail versus Jellal and Ultear... I'm really looking forward to it."
Zancrow shook his head and smiled, "Winning is impossible. I only hope that as the former head of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, she doesn't lose too badly."
