Chapter 741: Urrutia: Got it! I got hit... Eh?! It seems not!
After Kira's explanation, Gray finally understood the answer to the question that Natsu had been struggling with yesterday, but he no longer cared about it now.
In contrast, Gray is more concerned about another question: "Will Natsu be devoured by END?"
Before this, after Gray's digging, Kira had already told him most of the things about Natsu, but under Kira's alarmist words, he had always kept the secret.
If he could pretend he knew nothing and ignore it before today, then now that the demonic power leaking out of Natsu was something he had to take seriously. After all, Natsu was his important companion and an indispensable family member of Fairy Tail.
"Don't worry, it's just a small amount of power, Natsu can handle it!"
Kira pondered for a moment , and based on his perception and experience, he made a medical diagnosis: "I think it's probably because Laquette's magic power entered Natsu's body. Because Laquette originated from Natsu, his magic power was absorbed and digested by Natsu's body, and then slightly awakened the magic seed dormant in his body, so this change occurred."
This situation is just like when Ichigo Kurosaki in the manga "Bleach" was trapped in the spirit particle cage created by the Stern Cross Knights J. He used Getsuga Tensho to chop the cage but failed. Then the spirit pressure of the reaper mixed with the power of the Quincy returned to his body and awakened the power of the Quincy deep in his soul.
"It's a shame that he lost the Thunder and Fire Dragon Mode, but who knows, maybe Natsu can have an extra END Mode now?"
Moreover, this power is his own, so it must be more powerful and easier to use.
"what is going on?"
Natsu's changes were seen by Urrutia and Laquette. The former didn't understand and just thought that Natsu had become stronger again. Although the situation looked strange, he didn't think much about it; the latter had a complicated expression.
"You managed to break free from my magic so easily. You're really worthy of being 'that guy'..."
Having also lived for over four hundred years, Lacade is even more naive and ignorant than Irene, a woman who has always stayed in the mountains and forests. She has no idea that Natsu's change was caused by .
"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to test who is father's greatest masterpiece, you or me!"
Ever since he gained self-awareness and was able to learn and recognize things from his surroundings, Lacade has had a heart disease, which is that he discovered that in his father's heart, there is someone who is more important than him. That guy is called END, a demon created by his father.
A mere demon, what is that? How can it be compared to me? I am a member of the Dragneel family!!
Yes, Racked always thought he was a human!
Even though he has been calling himself the 'son of Zeref' for hundreds of years, Laquette has never thought deeply about why his father and he are different from the people around them even though they are all human beings. He just thinks that it is because the Dragenir family is special.
In other words, all along, in Lacade's heart, only his father and himself were a family, and the likes of END were not much better than Maldor of 'Gate of the Underworld', they were just discarded trash!
Only I can fulfill my father's wish to defeat Acnorolia!
This kind of proud mentality made him unconsciously produce a hint of arrogance in his words and deeds, but this arrogance was shattered beyond recognition when his life experience was revealed a few months ago.
From then on, Lacade knew the truth. It turned out that END was a member of the Dragonil clan, and he was the devil!
Family members, who understands?!
Laquette cried bitterly at that time, but he could not find anyone who could be regarded as a family member, because the other Atelias, whether it was the abandoned Hades Mardo, or Bradman who had also served as the guardian of the Twelve Shields, were all dead.
Lacade was desperate at that moment. Even though he was raised as a son by Mavis afterwards, his feelings towards END could not be restored - he no longer had the pride he had before, and only hatred was left.
By the way, in Lacade's current "hateful people ranking", END can only be ranked second, the first is Auguste who stole his role as "son".
Intent on competing with END, the infamous sin among demons, Laquette did not stop for long and took the initiative to attack. He put his palms together to form a knife, and the pure white magic power suddenly changed its nature, and then quickly condensed on the side of his palms that looked like a blade, and then he gently pushed forward, and two flying slashes were launched.
“Blade of Light!!”
"Is this different from the magic just now?!"
A bystander sees more clearly. Without being attacked, Urrutia immediately recognized that the magical properties of these two light blades were completely different from those of the previous tentacles, and their purposes and functions were also different.
If the tentacles of desire before would make outsiders think that Lacade was a third-rate monk who looked holy and aloof on the outside but was dirty and evil on the inside, then the two light blades that were shot out at will now gave him the image of a powerful and vulgar wizard.
There's a world of difference between the two... well, there's essentially no difference.
After secretly complaining in her heart, Urrutia immediately put her mind back into the battle. She glanced at Natsu, knowing that he was not suitable for continuing to fight in his current state, so she planned to step forward to help, but ended up fighting.
"Ice-made Chrysanthemum Burial!!"
Along with the surging cold current, ice chrysanthemums shot out, making the arena in front of them, where 40% of the area was covered with ice and snow, look like a tomb.
The white chrysanthemum symbolizes death. The chrysanthemum made of ice in Urrutia's hand has a lethality far exceeding Leon's dynamic form and Gray's static form, as if it really has the power to kill .
“Stop getting in the way!!”
Laquette said this in a cold tone, without even turning his head, he walked quickly towards Natsu, and waved his left hand together, creating a purple-white magic field area under Urrutia's feet.
"What?! Oh no..."
Before Urrutia could be shocked enough, dozens of magic ropes shot out from the dark white magic field, but the attack method was still the same as before, just binding.
“Damn it!! If I get hit, I’ll end up like those people!!”
Urrutia was horrified. She could lose this battle, even if she was beaten to the ground without any resistance, but she couldn't lose so shamefully, otherwise Kira would definitely laugh at her later! She had just seen that bastard taking pictures with a camera!
"I would rather my IQ be reduced by half and my debt be doubled than be photographed in such a shameful way and be socially devastated!!"
“Hyozo… Ugh!”
Before Urrutia could even make a move, the dark white shackles had already locked her body tightly!!
Urrutia's high-pitched and short scream echoed in the arena. Her delicate face, which was originally full of collagen, now turned extremely pale, with cold sweat pouring down her face, looking ashen.
Ahhhh!!! It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!! My body is about to become immersed in desire...
"Huh?? There's no..."
Before she could use her extraordinary willpower and desire to resist, she unexpectedly discovered that the magic that hit her did not seem to be of the same type as before.
