Chapter 262: Ch 262 : Battle of the Dragon Slayers 2

"Haa!"

Fully transformed, Sting raised his fist and struck at Natsu.

Natsu caught it, but in the next instant, Sting’s other fist was already coming.

"[Holy Brilliant Judgment]!"

Boom!

Natsu was struck hard in the jaw, his body snapping backward from the force.

"Salamander!"

Seeing this, Gajeel shouted in concern, but in that brief moment when his attention was diverted, Rogue had already closed in.

With magic surging around his leg, Rogue delivered a powerful kick straight to Gajeel’s face.

"Shadows cannot be caught."

Rogue’s voice was now deeper and more ominous, sending chills down the spine.

"This guy..."

His attack landed perfectly, and without hesitation, Rogue followed up with another strike—a brutal elbow blow straight into Gajeel.

In their enhanced forms, both Sting and Rogue had completely transformed, as if they were different people altogether.

Their magic power and attack strength had skyrocketed, turning the battle around.

The once dominant Natsu and Gajeel were now the ones being suppressed.

"Their strength suddenly increased?"

"Natsu, come on! You got this!"

Happy shouted anxiously, cheering Natsu on.

"Go for it—! They’re entering their invincible state!!"

On Sabertooth’s spectator stand, the Exceed Lector shouted excitedly.

"Frosch thinks so too."

Meanwhile, over at the Fairy Tail stand, Ed stood beside Noel, watching the match with a worried frown.

"Noel-nii, Natsu and Gajeel are being completely overpowered. This isn’t looking good."

Noel, however, remained focused on the battle.

At Ed’s words, he simply shook his head slightly.

"You’re wrong. Look closer, Ed."

"Huh?"

Confused, Ed continued watching.

He saw Natsu and Gajeel being pushed back again and again, but the longer he watched, the more his pupils widened in realization.

Then, an enlightened expression appeared on his face.

"Even though they’re constantly taking hits, their energy hasn’t weakened at all... So that means—they’re pretending to be at a disadvantage?"

"Calling it ’pretending’ isn’t quite right."

Noel explained calmly.

"To be precise, they’re testing them—gauging Sting and Rogue’s attack power. Most likely, it’s because those two claimed to have killed a dragon. Natsu and Gajeel must have their doubts about that."

As soon as Noel finished speaking, the battle in the arena underwent a sudden shift.

Just as Sting and Rogue launched their next attack, the once-overpowered Gajeel and Natsu suddenly caught their strikes mid-air.

"Shadows cannot be caught... How did that saying go again?"

Gajeel coldly questioned, gripping Rogue’s arm firmly.

At the same time, Natsu’s lips curled into a smirk.

Before Sting’s attack could land, Natsu struck first—

Boom!

A powerful punch slammed straight into Sting’s face, his eyes widening in shock.

"W-why... Why can you still move?!"

Sting asked through gritted teeth, disbelief written all over his face.

With a relaxed smile, Natsu said,

"Not bad... but you’re still far from enough."

"Don’t get cocky, brats."

Gajeel glared coldly at Rogue, then extended his arm and delivered a sharp elbow strike to Rogue’s jaw.

"Don’t underestimate Fairy Tail!"

Meanwhile, Sting was being pummeled mercilessly by Natsu’s fists.

Even when he unleashed [Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Holy Nova], Natsu effortlessly caught it with a single hand.

Rogue fared no better under Gajeel’s relentless assault, unable to launch a counterattack at all.

Before long, both Sting and Rogue were battered and bruised, forced to their knees, panting heavily—while Natsu and Gajeel remained standing calmly, completely unfazed.

"I can’t lose... for Lector’s sake!"

Struggling to his feet, Sting’s aura surged once more.

Strange white markings spread across his body.

Rogue experienced the same transformation, except his markings were black.

A peculiar power began emanating from the two of them.

Seeing this, Natsu raised an eyebrow silently.

"Dragon Force?"

Noel murmured the name of their power but showed no sign of concern.

Instead, he chuckled lightly and said,

"So this is their trump card... but if they think this will help them defeat Natsu and Gajeel, they’re still far from it. Because..."

Suddenly, inside the arena, Natsu spoke in a low voice.

"That’s enough."

The other three stared at him in confusion, unsure what he meant by those words.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Natsu’s lips, and he said,

"Gajeel, leave this fight to me. These two aren’t worth both of us going all out."

"Hah? You’re being way too selfish."

Gajeel grumbled in dissatisfaction, but seeing Natsu’s serious expression, he eventually clicked his tongue and nodded.

"Tch, just this once, got it? You owe me one."

"Yeah, yeah."

Natsu nodded casually, then clenched his fist and took a few steps forward.

"So you’re underestimating us, huh?"

Sting frowned, his eyes narrowing.

"You guys really don’t understand... You have no idea how strong we are now. Even alone, I can handle you easily. And now you want to take both of us on by yourself, Natsu-san?"

"No, I understand exactly how strong you are in this state."

Natsu shook his head, looking at the stunned Sting and Rogue.

"But you two are still way too inexperienced, kids."

"What are you—"

BAM!

Before Sting could even finish his sentence, Natsu’s figure suddenly vanished from his sight.

The next moment, Natsu’s face appeared right in front of him, and with a single punch, he sent Sting flying.

Sting’s body was launched across the arena, crashing into the edge of the battlefield before finally coming to a stop.

"STING!!"

Seeing this, Rogue’s expression changed drastically.

He quickly opened his mouth, unleashing his attack—

"[Shadow Dragon’s Roar]!"

A terrifying black shockwave burst from Rogue’s mouth, surging toward Natsu.

But Natsu merely tilted his head slightly, then took a deep breath—

"[Fire Dragon’s Roar]!!"

The explosive flames surged forward like an enraged dragon, colliding with Shadow Dragon’s Roar.

But the moment the two attacks clashed, Fire Dragon’s Roar effortlessly overpowered and shattered Rogue’s attack, its momentum remaining unstoppable as it slammed into Rogue, sending him flying.

"Damn it! How is this possible?! Dragon Force is supposed to be as powerful as a real dragon—no power should be able to surpass it!!"

Sting, struggling to his feet, gritted his teeth in disbelief.

Then, with a forceful stomp, his entire body surged forward, wrapped in white Dragon Force energy, charging straight at Natsu with a fierce punch.

But Natsu’s expression remained unchanged.

He didn’t move an inch—just stood firmly in place, raising his fist, wrapped in roaring flames.

BAM!

As the two fists collided, Sting was once again sent flying.
