Chapter 740: END Flame
Lucy was so angry and embarrassed that her plump chest trembled up and down with her breathing, and her long hair hanging on her shoulders also fluttered . Her delicate face and a pair of delicate little ears were all red.
"How can there be such a ridiculous magic in this world?!!"
From the reactions of the people around her and the faint sounds of conversation, she had a rough idea of what was affecting them, but she didn't expect that Natsu would also fall victim to the attack.
Of course, what surprised her more now was her best friend Leibi, who was curled up in the corner, not daring to look up at anyone.
Feeling Lucy's gaze that was three parts curious and seven parts shocked, Levi sobbed again: "This is definitely the most embarrassing moment of my life!!"
Lucy looked helpless and could only step forward and pat Leibi on the back, comforting her: "It's okay, don't be afraid... We are all adults, we can understand."
But as soon as she said this, Lucy was stunned by her own words: "What is going on?! I haven't even seen the signs of love yet, but now I have to comfort someone who is already married? Something is wrong! Everything is wrong!"
"Oh~ I never thought Natsu would make such an expression..."
Gray borrowed a camera from Kira with great interest, and took crazy photos of the scene below. The scene of Natsu crawling on the ground like a maggot is something you can only see once in your lifetime!
"Gray, don't go too far..." Erza's face was also flushed at this time. Although she pretended to be calm, there was a hint of trembling in her voice.
"Don't worry, I know my limits!" Gray waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to frantically press the shutter of the camera with a gloating smile on his face. "I guarantee that this will be a stain on Natsu's life!"
Click… click …click…
"You don't look like you have any sense at all ..." Erza was immediately embarrassed.
At the side, Xia Lulu snorted : "I really don't understand, what's so good about taking photos of this kind of thing."
"Of course you cats don't understand, photography is one of the greatest arts of mankind!"
As Kira responded, he swept the camera over Natsu on the field, Makarov, Laxus, Gajeel and others around him, "Record everything that happens in your life, take it out from time to time in the future to reminisce, and share it with your friends around you, it will bring you great happiness!"
"No... I think you're the only one who's happy... At least the person involved won't be happy!!"
"Nonsense! Isn't Natsu very happy right now?! Look at his expression, he's so happy!!"
…
“I feel so happy…”
Ultear looked at Natsu lying on the ground with lingering fear, and his body involuntarily took two steps back. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Laquette, as if he was looking at Asmodeus, the demon who controlled one of the seven deadly sins in the legend.
Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely don't let this happen!!
Laquette smiled again and pointed: "What's wrong? Do you want to try this feeling too?"
"Who wants to try!!!" Urrutia roared uncontrollably.
"Oh, that's a pity..."
Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, there was a loud bang and the flames on Natsu's body erupted again, burning the tentacle magic ball wrapped around him into ashes. Then the hill-like ball of flames quickly shrank, and the color of the flames began to change from orange to a weird red.
The strange magic power made Lacade, who had remained calm, change his expression instantly: "This feeling?!"
At the same time, Jellal, who had been quietly watching his silly son and silly brother fight, became serious: "This magic power... could it be..."
Inside the venue, tens of thousands of audience members, judges, and even some wizards from Fairy Tail were all surprised at Natsu's change. The flames that were so different from before made their eyes light up. They thought that Natsu had shown even stronger strength, and they all cheered.
“Come on!!”
"The dark red fire is so cool!!"
"Let's win in one go!!"
However, only a few people who were familiar with Natsu, such as Happy, Lucy and Gray, and people who were sensitive to magic, such as Kira, Mavis, and Preshito who was in the audience, noticed that something was wrong with Natsu.
They had seen this dark red flame before. It had appeared when they were fighting against some powerful enemies such as the Hades Maldor, but the magic power was completely different from before, and it could even be said that they were of two completely different natures.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like something's wrong with Natsu?"
"It's not just a little bit, it's very wrong!"
Kira's magical perception far exceeds that of ordinary people, allowing him to feel the strong and violent magic coming from Natsu at this moment. It was a power different from the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, but another kind of power he had seen before, darker, more evil, full of corruption and rebellion.
This kind of power belongs to the devil! To be more precise, it belongs to Atelias!
"END..." Zeref stared in disbelief and whispered softly, "Why on earth is this..."
Everything before him was obviously completely beyond Zeref's expectations. Even he, the founder, didn't expect why Natsu would suddenly have the power of END, even though he didn't do anything...
"Is this the END? My father had intended to use it to kill Acnorolia, and to kill himself..."
Natsu's changes on the field and Zeref's voice made Auguste quickly realize the reason for Natsu's abnormality.
As the person closest to Zeref, August has known END's true identity for a long time, but he also knows that Zeref will not let him wake up easily. After all, that may very likely mean the end of an era, no matter whether the name of this era is Acnorolia or Zeref.
"If I remember correctly, the book of END is in..."
…
"Yes, in my hand!"
Kira looked at Gray, whose body was trembling unconsciously due to the devil's magic power, patted his shoulder and said: "The Book of END is still in my warehouse, it is very safe."
It's so safe that it's all gray.
Ever since he obtained the Book of END in the battle of Tenrou Island, Kira has always intended to study it carefully, but he always forgets. When he remembers it, he doesn't have the time, and when he has the time, he gets lazy. In the end, he keeps putting it off and ultimately never starts rewriting it. Naturally, he didn't tell the people in the guild that 'Natsu is END'.
So far, Gray is the only one who knows that Natsu is END and Zeref's younger brother.
"However, the Book of END has not experienced any changes so far. Natsu's current changes should have nothing to do with the book. It is more likely to be related to that guy's magic."
Following Kira's gaze, Gray's eyes fell on the white figure in the arena: "That Lacade? Who is he?"
"He is also Atelias, a creation of Zeref, an experimental subject created to create END."
"In other words, part of his power is the same as Natsu's... No, it should be said that it comes from Natsu. That's why his smell is exactly the same as Natsu's."
