He rapidly dodged the opponent's attacks.
"Thanks, Lily! Let's go!" Gajeel thanked him, then immediately adjusted his body, magic power surging within him, and the surrounding bane particles seemed to be attracted to him.
This made Gajeel think of something.
Power can be consumed.
He inhaled sharply.
"Iron Shadow Dragon Mode!"
"What~!!!" The Grim Reaper exclaimed in surprise. He widened his eyes, looking at the scene before him in disbelief.
Gajeel's body underwent an astonishing transformation at that moment.
His skin turned as black as ink, shimmering with a metallic luster.
The scales on his body became even harder and sharper, exuding a fearsome aura.
His eyes were filled with majesty and dominance, as if he had transformed into a fierce iron dragon.
With Gajeel's transformation, his power also greatly increased.
"Haha, I really am a genius!"
Gajeel laughed loudly, his hand transforming into an iron sword. Each swing brought forth a powerful airflow, and his speed was extreme, like lightning, making it impossible to capture his figure.
The Grim Reaper felt unprecedented pressure; he had to go all out to counter Gajeel's attacks.
...
On the other side, Natsu forced Neinhart back with a Fire Dragons Roar. Seeing Gajeel's triumphant look, his fighting spirit ignited, and he immediately took a combat stance, shouting, "Since that's the case, I can't fall behind either!"
As his words fell, a powerful flame suddenly burst forth from his body. Orange-red flames enveloped Natsu, dragon scales gradually appeared on his body, and a playful glint, like a dragon's eyes seeing prey, began to show in his eyes.
"Flame Dragon King Mode!"
The orange-red flames, like a burning sun, directly scorched everything around them. The ground slowly began to emit smoke under the high temperature, as if it was about to melt.
This powerful force caused the Flame Dragon King within Natsu to slowly open his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.
It had to be said, he was very pleased with the power Natsu was now displaying.
After all, power gained through one's own efforts and cultivation is the most powerful.
This sense of accomplishment made the Flame Dragon King recall Zorn's teaching methods, and his heart was filled with emotion.
And on the other side, Gajeel, the Iron Dragon within his body had the same feelings.
They had both witnessed their children's growth, now becoming towering trees, possessing immense strength and tenacious will.
"This power is... Dragon Slayer Magic!" Neinhart murmured in shock, his eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.
He could feel the power's strength and familiarity.
As his words fell, figures slowly emerged behind his body.
"Historia of Corpses!" Neinhart roared, and the figures behind him immediately became clear.
"Let these people meet your Dragon Slayer Magic!" Neinhart laughed triumphantly, believing that these individuals would surely be able to restrain Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic.
"Hehehe~ Long time no see, Natsu!" A blond-haired man, with black flames rising from his hand, appeared in front of Natsu with an evil grin.
However, Natsu was not intimidated by his words.
Instead, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "A defeated foe is just a defeated foe!" Natsu said with a cold smile.
"Flame Dragon King's Roar!" Natsu took a deep breath, and an even more powerful flame tornado directly impacted the figures, engulfing them.
"As for you! I need to deal with you quickly!" Natsu looked at Neinhart, his eyes shining with a determined light; he knew time was short and he had to defeat the enemy in front of him swiftly.
With that, Natsu instantly flashed, appearing like lightning before Neinhart, delivering an uppercut to Neinhart's jaw.
This punch contained endless power and fury. Neinhart was immediately sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"How can one who dwells in the past move towards the future!!"
These were Zorn's words to him, and he always kept them in mind, bravely stepping towards the future.
"Magic that can only control the dead, everything will be incinerated in my flames!!!" Natsu's eyes were firm and fiery, as if burning with endless flames.
That terrifying gaze made Neinhart feel as if he was seeing a Fire Dragon roaring in the sky, exuding majesty and power.
...
On the other side, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna were engaged in fierce combat with enemy soldiers.
Elfman and Lisanna led other guild members to charge at the enemy forces, attempting to halt their invasion.
Although Mirajane had used Seilah's curse to put some enemy soldiers to sleep, there were still many enemies they needed to confront.
Meanwhile, Mirajane faced the assassin among the Spriggan Shield alone.
From the sky, she also saw Guild Master Zorn's battle in the distance, realizing the powerful enemy Zorn was facing.
She needed to resolve the battle here as quickly as possible.
Thinking this, she immediately charged forward, smashing her fist into the assassin Jacob's fist.
The force shattered the ground, but the assassin still held firm.
"As an assassin, frontal combat is not my forte!"
"Teleport~" Jacob said.
Mirajane immediately felt the surrounding space vibrate, realizing danger was imminent, and tried to quickly dodge.
However, in an instant, both of them vanished from their original spots.
