Whether it was an illusion or not, Boros seemed to hear the roar of a majestic Dragon.
Natsu's fist landed on the Werewolf's arms. After a brief delay, the fist spewed out a cone of flame, like a roar, engulfing the Werewolf.
The Werewolf's figure, bathed in flames, flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground in the distance.
Natsu flapped the pure white wings on his back, flipped over, and landed steadily on the ground, gasping for air.
The continuous high-intensity attacks were rapidly depleting his stamina and magic power.
While the Werewolf was down, Natsu quickly adjusted his breathing to recover his strength.
"Child of the Dragon!" Green flames erupted from within Boros, who was on the ground, pushing the Werewolf to his feet. His ferocious gaze locked onto Natsu, and the green flames around him even condensed into the shape of a wolf's head.
The green flame wolf's head roared skyward, and dozens of green pillars of fire suddenly shot out from the ground beneath Natsu's feet.
The moment the ground showed signs of cracking, Natsu had already flapped his wings and flown into the air. But before he could retaliate, three claw-mark-shaped fire blades tore through the air.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" The young man spun his body in mid-air, his white wings on his back ignited by flames, scattering the incoming fire blades.
Immediately afterward, Natsu took a deep breath in mid-air, his chest glowing with a lava-like radiance: "Fire Dragon's..."
"Roar!!!"
Crimson Dragon's Breath descended from the sky, melting rocks into magma wherever it passed.
Boros, however, sneered and did not dodge, plunging his green-flaming claws into the ground: "Hellhound's Bite!"
The entire rock layer was torn up, enveloped in green hellfire, transforming into a giant fanged maw that collided with the Dragon's Flame, creating a mushroom-shaped fire cloud.
A cold glint flashed in the smoke and dust; Boros's sharp claws were already close to Natsu's throat.
At that critical moment, a pure white light enveloped Natsu's entire body, forming an eggshell-shaped shield that encased him.
Boros's sharp claws were slightly hindered in their advance by the shield, but the Werewolf's claws still pierced through it easily.
However, this momentary delay was enough for Natsu to react.
Natsu tilted his head, avoiding Boros's attack.
At the same time, his right fist, wreathed in scorching flames, slammed towards Boros's abdomen.
At such close range, Boros had no time to dodge and could only withdraw his attack, using both hands to guard his torso and block Natsu's attack.
"Boom!" With a loud crash, Natsu's fist heavily struck Boros's arm, and the powerful force sent Boros flying.
"Now!"
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu raised both hands, and two fireballs merged to form a giant fireball, which he then forcefully pushed forward, sending it towards Boros.
Boros, suspended in mid-air with nothing to push against, watched the pillar of flame rushing towards him.
His face drastically changed. He dared not delay and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The fresh blood ignited in mid-air, transforming into a giant green fire wolf.
The green fire wolf roared and collided with the fireball Natsu had thrown.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the fireball and the fire wolf canceled each other out. The powerful impact, mixed with sparks, sent both Boros and Natsu flying.
"Cough, cough..." Natsu struggled to his feet, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
His body was covered in wounds, and his clothes were tattered. To conserve magic power for healing, Happy had also dispelled his Wing Magic.
Although the previous attack didn't hit Boros, it still consumed a lot of his magic power.
"Damn it, this guy is really tenacious!" Natsu looked at Boros, who was also getting up from the ground not far away, and sighed to himself.
Boros's situation was not much better than Natsu's. His body was also covered in wounds, a large patch of his black fur was scorched, and his green eyes gleamed with exhaustion and anger.
But he didn't have a cat to heal his wounds.
"Natsu!" Happy pressed his small paw on Natsu's shoulder.
"Heal!" White light illuminated the little guy's paw, enveloping Natsu's body.
Under the cover of the white light, Natsu's wounds rapidly healed, and his stamina gradually recovered.
Although Happy was only about five years old, the little guy grew up with Natsu. While he wasn't very diligent in his training, his total magic power was not something Yuumi, in her infant state, could compare to.
Yuumi's attachment buffs, healing, and shields, when cast by Happy, had a significant effect even on an A-Class Mage.
"Thanks, Happy!" Natsu gave a thumbs-up.
"Aye!" Happy stood proudly on Natsu's shoulder, hands on his hips.
"It's not over yet!" Boros climbed to his feet with a ferocious expression, his sharp Werewolf claws leaving clear marks on the ground.
The Werewolf shook his hands, and a violent green hellfire ignited his entire body. The flames subtly formed a layer of illusory Werewolf phantom around him.
"This guy is truly troublesome." Natsu's pupils slightly contracted. He lowered his body slightly, looking at the imposing Werewolf, and lightly patted Happy on his shoulder, "But, I have a plan, Happy."
"Aye?" Happy tilted his head, looking at Natsu, confused.
"Watch this." Natsu blinked, placed his hands to his mouth, his chest puffed up. A giant magic circle opened before his mouth, accompanied by a low, majestic Dragon's roar. A flame breath, even larger than his previous few breaths, went straight for Boros.
"Come on, Child of the Dragon!" Boros roared, landing on all fours. The green flames on his body suddenly expanded, and a giant flame wolf took shape on him. The giant wolf also opened its mouth, roaring at the Dragon's Breath.
A green flame breath, no weaker than Natsu's Dragon's Breath, spewed forth with a wolf's howl.
Just as the green flame roar was about to collide with Natsu's Fire Dragon's Roar, a cunning smile appeared on Natsu's face.
The pink-haired young man placed his hands to his mouth, then abruptly pulled them apart. The erupting crimson Dragon's Breath actually dissipated and vanished.
Natsu himself, however, charged directly into Boros's green flames.
The green flames instantly engulfed the young man's figure.
Boros's face showed no joy; he realized what Natsu was about to do. "Oh no!"
The powerful green flames failed to incinerate the young man. Instead, they transformed into slender streams of fire, which Natsu crushed and absorbed into his mouth.
Natsu inhaled like a whale, his wide-open mouth like a bottomless pit, swallowing the swirling green flames into his stomach.
A strong aura erupted from the pink-haired young man. The ground beneath Natsu's feet cracked, and violent crimson flames, centered on Natsu, shot skyward like a volcanic eruption.
Natsu's aura was even stronger than before.
"Ah... thanks for the meal!" Natsu burped, wiping away the small flames that spilled from the corner of his mouth. Fire spewed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. "I'm all fired up!"
Boros realized the situation was bad and instinctively took a few steps back with a grim expression.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art!" Natsu lowered his body, opened his hands, and magic power surged wildly around him.
A giant red magic circle opened, with mysterious Dragon Scale characters on its outer ring. In the center of the magic circle, a crimson Dragon's head opened its mouth and roared.
Crimson flames erupted, as if to pierce the sky.
The surrounding air was twisted by this powerful magic power, and space itself seemed to tremble slightly.
Natsu was bathed in flames. After a brief delay, the flames suddenly compressed, forming an illusory image of a giant flame Dragon around the young man.
Flames rapidly spun and accumulated around his body; the crimson flames were like a madly burning red lotus.
"Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"
Natsu, like a fiery meteor, stomped his foot on the ground, causing it to shatter and earth and stones to fly. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Boros.
Boros, burning with hellfire, fled on all fours into the distance. But Natsu's speed was like lightning. The Werewolf looked back, and in his vision, a red lotus of fire gradually grew larger.
"Boom!"
A powerful force erupted, a lotus of flame exploded, and dozens of flame-formed sword qi wildly slashed in all directions.
The powerful explosion of force instantly sucked the surrounding air dry, creating a huge vacuum area.
Dust and stones on the ground were swept up by this force, scattering outwards.
The surrounding trees were also uprooted by this force, torn into pieces in the air.
The flame sword qi, carrying the power to destroy everything, violently slashed at him.
"Ah!" Boros let out a scream. His body was instantly shredded by the flame blades.
His protective hellfire dissipated without a trace under the impact of the flame blades, and his body was reduced to ashes in the flames.
