In the sky above Tenrou Island, a huge, winged monster was flying.
This monster was somewhat similar to the flying beasts of Edolas.
But it wasn't actually an Edolas flying beast… it was created by Kenichi using his Arc of Embodiment.
At this moment, Kenichi, Lisanna, and Juvia were standing on the back of the flying beast.
Walking inside Tenrou Island made it feel enormous, but riding on this huge flying beast, crossing the entire Tenrou Island was a matter of minutes.
Soon, Kenichi, Lisanna, and Juvia arrived at the periphery of Tenrou Island.
"It's Natsu..."
Lisanna pointed at Natsu below and called out.
At this moment, Natsu was fighting someone.
Perhaps Lisanna and Juvia didn't know this person, but Kenichi did.
This person was none other than Zancrow, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
As Kenichi and the others descended, Natsu, who was fighting Zancrow, took a deep breath and directly activated [Fire Dragon's Roar].
Bzzzt-
A cluster of crimson flame pillars shot directly towards Zancrow.
Facing Natsu's [Fire Dragon's Roar], Zancrow showed not a trace of fear. Instead, he looked as if he had seen some delicious food, his face full of excitement.
When the flame pillar approached Zancrow, Zancrow opened his mouth wide and completely devoured the crimson flames.
Seeing this scene, Lisanna, and also Carla and Happy below, all showed expressions of disbelief.
"He ate Natsu's fire!"
"Just who is this guy..."
After all, Lisanna knew that Natsu was a Fire Dragon Slayer.
Normally, only Natsu ate others' fire attacks.
But now, someone had actually devoured Natsu's dragon fire.
"This guy is a God Slayer!"
Hearing Lisanna's words, Kenichi looked at Zancrow, a light shining in his eyes.
Hearing Kenichi's words, the astonishment on Lisanna and Juvia's faces intensified.
"God Slayer? Can he slay gods?"
At that time, Zancrow, who had eaten Natsu's fire, wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a satisfied, mocking tone: "As expected of dragon fire, truly delicious!"
"Burning flames can slay dragons, but they cannot slay gods!"
"Today, I'll let you witness the God Slayer Magic of our Grimoire Heart!"
As he spoke, Zancrow, like Natsu, also took a deep breath.
"Fire God's Bellow!"
Bzzt-
A cluster of exceptionally large flame pillars, like shockwaves, swept directly towards Natsu below.
The moment this flame pillar shot out, the beautiful eyes of both Juvia and Lisanna instantly narrowed.
"Black flames?"
That's right, the flames released by Zancrow now were black flames, looking unusually creepy.
And this was the hallmark of God Slayer Magic.
Boom-
While Juvia and Lisanna were shocked, the black flames over there had already struck Natsu.
Although ordinary fire attacks had no effect on Natsu. But Natsu could not devour these black God Slayer flames.
After the black flames hit Natsu, his figure flew backwards like a kite with its string cut.
"Natsu!"
Lisanna, after landing, called out with worry.
"Don't come over!"
Natsu, full of anger and unwillingness, shouted heavily, then said: "Leave this guy to me! I will definitely defeat him!"
Seeing that Natsu wanted to fight Zancrow one-on-one, Kenichi also gave up the thought of helping Natsu.
Meanwhile, Zancrow, hearing Natsu's impassioned words, laughed loudly, but the laughter was full of sarcasm: "Hahaha, a mere dragon wants to slay a god?"
Natsu ignored Zancrow's taunts. With a cold, stern expression, he charged directly at Zancrow.
"Fire Dragon's..."
When Natsu reached Zancrow, his fist wreathed in crimson flames punched towards Zancrow.
Facing Natsu's punch, Zancrow sneered and also activated his magical power.
The next second, black flames surged up around his fist.
"Fire God's Fist!"
Natsu and Zancrow threw their punches one after the other, and their fists collided violently.
At that moment, the ground beneath their feet instantly shattered and collapsed.
A violent shockwave, mixed with the heat wave from the burning flames, spread out in all directions.
Happy and Carla over there, under the impact of the heat wave, were forced backwards.
Zancrow's fist and Natsu's fist didn't remain locked for long. Soon, Zancrow manipulated the black flames again to attack Natsu.
"Fire God's Arrow!"
Zancrow waved his hand fiercely, and the black flames shot towards Natsu like a long arrow, piercing through the air.
Natsu's reaction wasn't slow either.
He moved his feet, and his figure, wreathed in flames, shot out violently, dodging the black flame arrow.
"Fire God's Scythe!"
Before Natsu could even land, Zancrow on the ground used the black flames to condense a huge scythe.
He charged to a spot beneath Natsu, holding the flame scythe.
Now, he just waited for Natsu to fall, then he would use the fire scythe to cut him down.
"Natsu!"
Seeing the mocking expression on Zancrow's face, Happy, Carla, and the others all looked extremely grave.
Natsu in the sky was also thinking quickly.
Soon, he thought of something.
Then he took a deep breath.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"Still this move? It's useless against me!"
Zancrow, waiting below, saw Natsu using Fire Dragon's Roar and said with a grin.
But Natsu's Fire Dragon's Roar wasn't aimed at Zancrow.
It was aimed at the ground.
The flame pillar struck the ground in front of Zancrow.
Boom-
Accompanied by a loud roar, a powerful heat wave mixed with rock debris engulfed Zancrow's figure.
Natsu, under the recoil force, flew backwards again and finally landed safely on the ground.
"Using Fire Dragon's Roar to disrupt the opponent?!"
Kenichi watched this scene and raised an eyebrow.
Simultaneously, the system prompt he wanted to hear sounded in his mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Fire God Slayer Magic attribute!]
