Chapter 550: Isn't it easier to get caught if you are bigger?
"Lion Star Attack!!"
"Lionheart Star Lucy Flying Kick!!"
These two moves are Leo and Lucy's special moves respectively. The latter is just fine, basically used for selling body, while the former is Leo's ultimate move, usually used in a decisive battle.
But now, he seemed to be using this move as an ordinary skill, which showed how fast his magic power increased.
Bang!
The three of them intertwined and landed at almost the same time.
Click...
With a crisp sound, a small piece of iron sheet actually broke off where Leo hit!
"Oh oh oh!! Success!" Lucy shouted excitedly, because Leo broke the defense of the mechanical doll, proving that her strength has increased a lot.
In response, Leo simply shook his head, looked at Lucy lovingly, and said with a wry smile, "No... not even close!"
“Huh?! Why??”
"That was my most powerful attack just now. Even now, I can't use it many times. But it only broke a small piece of his skin. It didn't hurt..."
Lucy interrupted Leo's Versailles and encouraged him: "This is already amazing! Natsu was directly knocked away..."
Natsu is stuck: "..."
BANG!!!
With the addition of anger, a huge flame erupted from Natsu's body. The extremely high temperature instantly melted the metal wall that had been blocking him into iron liquid.
"I was just careless for a moment!!"
Natsu rolled over and landed safely, then rushed straight towards Lucy, shouting unwillingly, "I won't fail again, leave the rest to me!"
He wanted to prove that he was just ambushed because he didn't dodge, not because he couldn't win.
Happy flapped his snow-white wings and fell from the sky, hovering aside and watching the show silently. When Lucy summoned Talos and Leo to fight, he was trying hard to help Natsu get out of the wall. Who knew that after pulling for a long time and wasting a lot of effort, it was still useless. As a result, when Natsu heard that he was defeated by Rocky, he immediately got anxious.
"Really... Natsu is so naive..."
The harpy, who was full of evil intentions, secretly smiled sinisterly in a place where the three people could not see. He had already thought of a way to take advantage of the situation at any time in the future.
On the other side, the mechanical nesting doll that was attacked by two special moves lit up again, and the tie emitted a golden light that engulfed him, and it expanded and evolved again in a few breaths.
This time, it turned into a three-meter-tall steel behemoth.
“Really?!”
“Huh?!!”
"It has evolved again!"
Leo remained calm, looking at the steel behemoth that almost filled the entire mechanical doll house, frowning and analyzing: "It seems that these mechanical soldiers will be strengthened after absorbing attacks or reaching a certain amount of exercise..."
Lucy obviously thought of this , and continued his words: "If that's the case, we can't continue fighting like that until we find a way to stop it from evolving!"
"But now it is actively attacking us, we can't just fight back, right?"
Natsu crossed his arms across his chest, looking extremely depressed. If he did as Lucy and Rocky said, he wouldn't be able to have a good fight and avenge himself for being stuck in the wall.
"Well... you're right!"
At this moment, Habby suddenly said, "It's already this big now. If the speed continues to increase, it may not last long here!"
"Yeah, if we leave it alone and let it get on the street, it will be troublesome, right?"
"How dare you say that, someone who always destroys public property..."
"By the way, this kind of mechanical soldier should have a mechanical core or something, right?"
Suddenly, Leo, who had been looking up at the mechanical nesting doll, discovered something. "If we can find the core and destroy it, we should be able to stop it from evolving, right?"
Lucy suddenly realized: "Oh, that makes sense!! But where is the core?"
"It must be in there! Natsu, let's beat it together... Eh?? Where's Natsu?"
The few of them had just decided to work together to break the opponent's defense, but when they turned around, they found that the place where Natsu had originally stood was empty!
"I have a bad feeling..."
“Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Natsu's roar, "The Fire Dragon's... Sword Horn!!"
When they looked up, they saw Natsu with flames wrapped all over his body, rushing towards the mechanical doll like a bazooka.
"What is that guy doing?!!!" ×3
Natsu ignored it and rushed forward. The terrifying high temperature spread to the entire room, melting the mechanical dolls and various metal parts scattered on the ground into iron liquid.
"What a jerk this guy is... He never listens to others!"
"Well, that's just Natsu's personality!"
[Fire Dragon's Sword Horn] This move is about breaking through the surface with a single point. Under Natsu's control, all the magic power and flames converged at one point. The blazing flames seemed to no longer be an energy body, but a sharp sword that was as solid as a real thing, the sharp horn on the head of the giant dragon, which was going to pierce the steel behemoth in front of it! !
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
As the flames on Natsu's body turned from orange to red, the place on the steel beast hit by his forehead began to melt. Its body, which was harder than diamond, made a hissing sound under the extremely high temperature, and iron dripped down along the gradually dissolving skin.
"Ooooh! Melt it!!"
"Natsu, great job!!"
"Maybe we can dissolve it directly this way!!"
The surprise attracted everyone's attention, and no one noticed that more than two meters high on the mechanical doll, the white tie was quickly turning gold.
The flames gradually subsided and the temperature began to drop. When Natsu's attack ended, the liquefied iron solidified again and became ugly lumps of iron.
The steel giant in front of it had a hole several dozen centimeters in diameter on its belly, revealing a pile of special metal filled inside.
“Wakakaka…it worked!”
Natsu held a ball of flame in each and laughed triumphantly, "If you want to absorb attacks to evolve, I'll let you absorb as much as you can! No matter how much you can absorb or how big you become, I can burn you up!!"
"This... is really Natsu's style..." Lucy wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and complained.
"Forget it, the next step is to find the core and destroy it!"
She sized up the hole with her eyes, pointed with her finger, and said, "It's decided that it's you, harpy! Go ahead!!"
“Hey hey!!”
Habib knew that this mission was none other than his. With the thought, "This team can't do without me," he spread his wings and rushed forward. However, before he could reach the target, changes occurred again.
"Oh no! It's getting bigger again?!"
Just as they had expected, the more the mechanical doll was hit, the bigger it grew. This time it grew to more than five meters high, turning it into an unshakable steel castle. The wound that was originally opened by Natsu was also healed to its original size.
Its huge size directly broke the toy house. It was much taller than other shops on the street, causing a commotion.
Gurgle...
"Natsu, what do we do now?"
Compared to Happy's panic, Natsu didn't care. Instead, he became more excited: "Tsk! What's the big deal?! Doesn't the bigger the size, the easier it is to hit?"
“Ohhh!! So that’s how it is!!”
"Wakakaka... let's go, harpy!"
"Hey hey!!" Happy rode Natsu into the sky and soon arrived above the mechanical doll's head.
Lucy on the ground looked up at the man and the cat in the air. The more she looked, the more panicked she became. She was sweating profusely. "What are they going to do?! I have a bad feeling..."
Looking down from above, Natsu was unstoppable. He completely ignored Lucy on the ground and focused his attention on the steel castle on the ground. He took a deep breath, and his magic power surged up to inflate his chest: "Fire Dragon's..."
“Wait… wait… wait a minute!!!” Lucy quickly ran backwards, but was unable to dodge.
"roar!!!"
A terrifying red flame spurted downwards and hit the mechanical doll, instantly engulfing it, along with most of the street, into the sea of fire.
“Help!!!”
