Chapter 148 Kira vs. the Twin Dragons (2)
While Killer and Natsu were fighting fiercely, Gajeel was trying to break through the wind circle and rejoin the battle.
Clang! Clang!
"It was a really troublesome attack. Even though it didn't break through the defense, it still hurt a lot to be cut."
Gajeel had a hard time dealing with these invisible attacks and couldn't find any chance to attack Kira.
In front of the invisible wind blade, his dragon scale armor played no defensive role at all. Once he was accidentally hit by the wind blade, it would be like a real blade cutting the skin of an ordinary person. It was painful but there would be no wound.
"Damn it, I can't be trapped by a mere wind blade!"
Faced with the tricky encirclement before him, Gajeel made up his mind, ignored the pain in his body, and moved forward directly. As long as he could defeat Kira, this annoying wind blade would naturally collapse!
"drink!"
After a loud shout, Gajeel released thick iron rods from all over his body, deflecting all the next round of wind blades, and then rushed forward with all his strength, breaking through the encirclement of wind blades, and then jumped towards Kira: "Iron Dragon Spear, Ghost Firewood!"
The green magic circle disappeared in a flash, and Gajeel's right hand turned into a sharp black iron spear head, stabbing rapidly in the air. Countless spear shadows formed a dark and enchanting deadly iron flower.
The powerful explosive force stirred up several irregular air currents, and Gajeel's indomitable momentum made the audience excited and talked a lot.
"Amazing! I remember this guy. He used to be the star of Phantom Flame, nicknamed 'Iron Dragon' Gajeel!"
"Is this dragon-slaying magic? This is the first time I've seen it!"
"His whole body has turned into iron. How can we fight him like this?"
However, the next moment, under the shocked gazes of thousands of people, Gajeel's attack came to an abrupt halt, and he was suspended in the air like a fly entangled in a spider web, unable to move.
I have to say that Gajeel's move is full of explosive power, strong and fast, but Kira is stronger than him and faster than him!
The moment Gajeel deflected the wind blade, Kira realized his thoughts and immediately took corresponding measures, but his response was to advance instead of retreat.
"Wind rope!"
Invisible ropes quickly took shape in the air, weaving into a large net that was difficult to escape from, waiting for the prey to come to it.
The ropes were tougher than spider webs, and their complexity was like a child's random graffiti. As Gajeel lunged forward, he was entangled in countless wind rope nets. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
The deadly black iron flower withered in an instant, and the endless gun shadows naturally disappeared, leaving only a lonely gun head struggling in the air.
Wind magic is different from other energy magics. It is invisible and intangible. It does not have substance like earth and water, nor is it composed of energy like thunder and fire. Its essence is airflow, or gas.
Except for a few special places such as underwater, underground, and vacuum, there is no shortage of air under normal circumstances. This means that in battle, wind mages do not need to spend time manipulating magic to move in space like water, fire, earth, and thunder mages, but can directly create it at the designated place, saving a short but decisive attack time.
"Stop...stop..."
In the stands, thousands of spectators were confused by the images on the screen. They only saw Gajeel lunge forward, launch a powerful attack, and then suddenly stop, with the whole person strangely suspended in the air.
"What happened? Why did the attack suddenly stop?"
Fortunately, Markov, who was sitting on the judges' stand, gave an explanation: "This is Kira using wind magic..."
After the explanation by this veteran magician, the audience suddenly understood.
Oh, it turns out that these three wizards were not acting, but they were too strong - no, it should be Kira who was too strong, and a magical battle of "such and such" took place in a shot that we couldn't understand.
"How does it feel to be hung up and beaten?"
Looking at Gajeel who was hanging in the air and unable to move, Kira suddenly remembered the three people of the Wheel who were hung up like this in the original time and space. If he had not reminded everyone at the beginning, Levi would not be able to escape the fate of being nailed to the tree. Then, what he did now would have a reason.
But now that it hasn't happened, would n't ? What if people think I have some weird habit?
Is this considered bundling?
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!!"
Natsu attacked again, but Kira reacted quickly. His sky blue eyes covered in ice armor became darker. He raised his hand and endless cold current gushed out, blowing his red hair flying.
"snowstorm!"
The cold and hot magics competed again, disrupting the surrounding airflow, indirectly allowing Gajeel to successfully escape from the wind net, but being saved by Natsu made him feel bad.
Kira clapped his hands to Natsu as if rewarding him: "Well done, Natsu! How's it going? Do you still have strength?"
"Of course!" Natsu laughed loudly, "I still have some hidden moves that I haven't used yet!"
Hidden moves? What hidden moves do you have?
Kira's heart skipped a beat.
What moves can Natsu have during this period of time?
Whether it was the Thunder and Fire Dragon Mode or the Flame Dragon King Mode, Natsu entered it under special circumstances. Logically, it should have been a one-time thing, but he could always enter it again afterwards. This didn't make sense logically.
Kira could only forcefully explain this as follows: Natsu retained the spark of that mode, and rekindled it with his own flame in the subsequent battle, so it was natural for him to enter these two modes.
However, Natsu has not obtained these two modes yet, so the first thing Kira thought of was the only mode that Natsu could not enter at will but the only mode he had experienced so far, the Dragon Power.
Now that Natsu has faced a dragon before, maybe he has really figured out a way to freely access the dragon's power?
Although Kira didn't know what the hidden move Natsu was talking about, he knew that Natsu would not lie about such things.
"Natsu, please don't let me down!"
"Ohhhhh!!! I'm on fire!!!"
Natsu let out a long roar, his excited mood stimulated his magic power, the flames soared, and Kira was amazed at the sight.
"Magic that can transform emotions into power is indeed unusual," Kira complained about Natsu's outburst, "I wonder when I will be able to achieve this."
Although he said this, Kira knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to do so. After all, he was a lazy person, and his magic was too comprehensive and his fighting methods were too many. It was extremely difficult for him to encounter something that was big enough to make him angry.
"Hey, so this is the price of being strong? It's all because I'm too strong..."
While Kira was muttering to himself, Natsu on the opposite side had completed his transformation.
Natsu's appearance changed drastically at this moment. His cherry-colored hair rose up like a flame, a cool fiery red mark appeared on his face, and strange magic circles appeared on his exposed arms, which looked like spells. The most shocking thing was that Natsu's entire body was covered in a fiery red magic coat visible to the naked eye, and even the black clothes he was originally wearing were reflected red by this tangible magic. The only exception was his white scarf, which remained unchanged all year round.
The transformation was complete, and Natsu's eyes glowed with the same red light, "FIRE MODE!!"
Gajeel, who was not far away, was stunned by this change. His first reaction was: "Is the fire dragon in the same state as my dragon scale armor?"
However, in just a few seconds, this conjecture was denied by him, because the two are completely different. There is a level of difference in strength between Natsu's current state and his iron scale body. To use a numerical analogy, the iron scale armor can increase strength by 10%, while Natsu's current state can at least increase it by 50%.
Natsu's transformation also stunned the thousands of spectators in the audience seats of the competition venue, as well as Marklov, Happy, Disper and others sitting on the judges' podium.
The audience was fine, as they didn't know much about Natsu's strength in the first place, so they just cheered, thinking that Natsu was going to show his best strength; but Markrov and Happy were the ones who had always been with Natsu, and they knew that this was probably a breakthrough for Natsu at the last minute, or that he had just realized it not long ago. Especially Happy, even though he was inseparable from Natsu every day, it was the first time he saw Natsu in this form.
"Come on, Natsu!"
No matter how strong this state is or how long it can last, as a partner, Happy's first reaction is to cheer Natsu on.
"Judging from your reaction, is this also the first time you've seen Natsu in this state?" asked Disper.
"I've never seen Natsu in this state before." Happy paused, then his eyes lit up: "Could it be that because of the battle just now, Natsu had a breakthrough?"
Disper laughed when he heard this and said, "Maybe it's true. After all, he is the prototype of Emperor Yan!"
