Chapter 330: Natsu is Frozen
"Why does this person smell so much like Gray?"
With such doubts in mind, Natsu rushed towards Silver.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
However, Silver dodged the powerful attack by leaning sideways. He then stretched out his hand, placed his palm on Natsu's arm, and threw Natsu out with a flick.
But how could Natsu's attack be resolved so easily? As his body was thrown out, his right leg was quickly raised and kicked towards Silver's head.
Hearing the sound of the wind, Silver immediately bent down and lowered his head to avoid the side kick, but Natsu's attack was not over yet!
Relying on his powerful muscle strength and extraordinary body memory, Natsu has condensed blazing flames around his body as he kicks. His body flips sideways in mid-air, using the force of rotation to increase the power of the flames. The white dragon scale scarf around his neck also spins around his body with this movement, showing a dance-like beauty.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
The flames whirred in the wind, and coupled with Natsu's shout, it looked majestic, and even the rain falling from the sky seemed to have no effect on it.
But the flame shaped like a dragon's wings did not hit the enemy in front of it, but hit an ice wall!
Natsu had just landed at this time, and from his perspective he couldn't see how thick the ice wall was, but it actually blocked the fire that was always effective against small fry. Although the ice wall was broken, Silver behind the wall was unharmed.
"ice?!"
Natsu was surprised, but before he could think about it, he saw cold wind mixed with rain, and the rain mixed with ice chips. The ice chips carried magic power, and the wind, rain and ice blended into ice arrows that came towards him.
"Ice Demon Arrow!"
This attack reminded Natsu of Gray's "Lancers", but the ice spears created by the "Lancers" were shorter, more numerous, and faster.
"Fire dragon's claws!!"
Having fought with Gray for many years, Natsu was very familiar with how to deal with this type of attack. His body unconsciously clenched his claws, and at the same time his magic power turned into flames and attached to his ten fingers, which were as sharp as the claws of a fire dragon.
Natsu controlled his flaming claws to fly up and down in front of him. His fighting style was similar to that of a wild beast. It seemed that he was waving his claws randomly without any rules, but in fact, it was a unique talent of fighting by instinct.
In a flash, Natsu could always see the attack trajectory of the ice arrows and predict their positions two or even three seconds later, and then smash them with his fire claws at the most appropriate time.
This is Natsu's innate intuition. Even Gajeel and Wendy, who were also raised by dragons, do not have this ability.
After a few breaths, all the ice arrows were torn into tiny ice crystals by the fire dragon claws and scattered all over the ground with the rain, but there was almost no sign of melting, which made Natsu realize how powerful his opponent was.
"This guy's ice is... so cold!"
Natsu whispered, but he didn't say the words "colder than Gray's ice" out loud.
Gray's ice shape should be accurately classified as shape magic, not ice attribute magic. This magic has the characteristics of stable ice making and powerful physical attack, but in terms of magic attack such as temperature, it is actually much worse than ordinary ice attribute magic.
Gray, Leon, and even their master Ulu, these users of ice form are able to have such strong combat power only because of their own powerful talents.
The magic used by Silver is the Ice Demon-Destroying Magic. In addition to its killing properties and special attack against demons, it is also a leader in ice magic.
Just as Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is hotter than ordinary flames , Ice Demon Slayer Magic is naturally colder than ordinary ice.
In the original work, Gray was able to maintain his position as the second male lead in the later period because he inherited Silver's ice demon-killing magic. Otherwise, he would not be able to deal with the enemies in the later period just by relying on an ice shaping magic.
Natsu didn't know that the opponent was using the Ice Demon Slayer Technique that came out during the battle with Zonia, he only knew that this opponent was indeed good at ice magic, but no matter how cold his opponent's magic was, he wasn't the kind of person who would stop attacking.
Seeing the icicles scattered all over the ground, Natsu and Silver launched their next attack at the same time.
"Ice Devil's Blade!!"
Swish!
As Yin casually waved his hand, several crescent-shaped ice blades appeared out of thin air and attacked from all directions, making rapid sounds of breaking through the air.
Natsu's vision was accurate, his body sometimes sank, sometimes turned, but his steps never stopped, and while dodging all the ice blades, he continued to get closer to Silver.
At the same time, his magic power was also gathering. This time it was not concentrated on his arms or between his fingers, but covered his entire body, especially his head.
Just as he dodged the last ice blade, his feet moved to a position less than one meter away from Yin. Then he stomped his feet hard, causing the ground to crack three inches wide. Then he jumped up and hit the enemy's face with his forehead.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!!"
This time, Natsu's attack was timed perfectly.
The two of them were already very close, and he had enough time to gather his strength; on the other hand, the opponent was in the stage of "just used a magic trick, lack of magic power in the body, and the lowest defense". Logically speaking, the attack should be successful and he should deal a heavy blow to the opponent!
But Naz still miscalculated!
In just a moment, the flames on Natsu's body were completely extinguished, as if the huge noise just now was an illusion. Only the dripping rain remained, continuously falling on Natsu's body.
He maintained the upward posture, but no matter it was his headbutt, fists, or scarf, his whole body was frozen into ice. He was frozen into an ice sculpture!
The power of the Ice Demon-Destroying Spell condensed in an instant!
This sudden scene was beyond everyone's imagination. Natsu, who had just been on fire and had just created the best opportunity to attack, was frozen into an ice man in an instant!
"Natsu!!"
Happy shouted anxiously, put down the Rebby in his hand and went forward to check, but he was powerless to deal with what he saw.
“How could it be…”
Levi was also shocked. The current situation seemed to force her to take the lead, but Natsu was instantly frozen by the opponent. How could she defeat him?
"What on earth is this stupid fire dragon doing?"
Gajeel was so anxious that he started to curse and wanted to go over to help, but...
"The Five Swords of the World..." A loud shout came from nearby ears. It was Ethel who saw the flaw of Gajeel's distraction and took the opportunity to attack, "Sujuuma!!!"
A burst of blue light that was too bright to look at suddenly appeared. In the light, there were several slashing waves that were stronger than before. These slashing waves exploded less than two meters away from Gajeel.
"hateful……"
Boom! !
The smoke and dust cleared, and Gajeel narrowly avoided the attack, but his clothes were torn into shreds.
“There’s absolutely no chance to go over and help…”
“Hahahaha!!! You should take care of yourself!! I will tear you to pieces soon!!”
Gajeel could see that the opponent was just a big, straightforward guy with a simple means of attack, but his attack power was incredibly strong. Combined with the arm length advantage brought by his height, this created a tricky situation before him.
If a petite person faced this demon, he might have a chance to dodge the slash, but that's not the case with Gajeel!
"Hey! Fire Dragon! Get out of that ice block quickly!!!"
Gajeel shouted, and now he could only hope to break the seal as soon as possible, otherwise a weak girl like Rei would not be able to defeat the opponent alone.
"Hahaha!! It's useless!! Your companion is already dead!!!"
Ethel didn't give Gajeel a chance to breathe, and continued to chase him and slash. Every time he slashed, he would create a powerful flying slash, leaving an ugly scar on the ground.
Faced with this situation, Gajeel could only dodge and retreat. He wanted to lead the opponent away, but he was worried about Levy and Natsu, so he could only wander around the battlefield, looking for a chance to escape.
"It seems your companions can't move!" Silver looked at the Happy who was protecting Natsu and said, "Don't you plan to escape?"
Happy was so anxious that he almost cried. He was scared and worried, but he still gathered his courage, flew in the air and spread his hands to block Silver who was getting closer and closer: "We will never do such a thing as abandoning our companions!"
“That’s right!”
Levy stood behind Natsu. Unlike Happy, who was small and could not fly, she could not squeeze through the less than one meter distance between Natsu and Gin. She could only protect Natsu's body. Liquid that could not be told whether it was rain or sweat was dripping from her head, but her eyes looking at Gin were equally firm.
"I see, this is the wizard from Fairy Tail? How amazing!"
Yin looked at him with admiration but did not retract his outstretched hand.
