Chapter 9

The lightning disappears, revealing an unconscious burnt Jura. The man smiles before poking Jura's forehead, as he fell back, down on the ground.

The man nodded in satisfaction before setting his eyes towards the badly injured yet still standing Dragon Slayer with a blue cat supporting.

However, the man's eyes landed on a broken crystal on the dragon slayers hands, his eyes widened as eyed his own crystal, only to find that it was broken in half.

"How did-?" He wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered where he pulled the dragon slayer, "-at that time? Damn I was careless."

He saw Natsu grinning before bringing the crystal close to his mouth, his eyes immediately widened in shock seeing that.

"You wouldn't-" he started, only to see Natsu grinning widely as he chewed the crystal, he only have one word to describe the dragon slayer, "-lunatic."

Even a powerful Titan slayer wouldn't dare to eat the titan crystal directly, they would just slowly absorb the magic power coming from the crystal to slowly increase their power.

But this young man in front of him, actually ate the crystal directly?! If what the books said was right, then he would've felt an intense pain right about-

"Guh?! Wha-!?"

-now.

"AAAARRGGGHHH!!!" Natsu screamed in pain as the man just shook his head and exited his titan form.

The dragon slayer is already as good as dead from eating the crystal.

"A pity, and you have so much potential as well." The man shook his head and decided to leave, there's no point on staying here any longer.

"Supreme King Rock Crush!"

However, before he could even move from his place, Jura's voice resounded and the surrounding rocks started to encase the man.

The man glared at the one who cast the spell, Jura, who was bȧrėly even standing but still has a fight left in his eyes.

"JURA NEKIS!! I WILL KILL YO-" he didn't get to finish his words as the rock already encased him.

Jura released a deep breath as he slowly walk towards Natsu, who is currently wailing in pain.

However, before he could get close to Natsu, the rocks that covered the titan slayer glowed white before exploding.

There, the glowing titan slayer covered with white lightning sparks can be seen standing while staring at Jura with bloodshot eyes.

"DAMN YOU JURA NEKIS!!" The titan slayer, with a speed impossible for human eyes to follow, pounced at Jura with his has hands trying to rip the Saint's neck off.

However, a powerful burst of magic power knock the titan slayer away. The magic power was so strong that everything around fifty meters has been blown away.

With only Jura, using his magic, to stay on his ground, and Happy, being held by Jura before he was blown away.

As the smoke dissipates to thin air, it revealed a standing Natsu, with reddish-brown scales on both his right and left hands that reaches up to his elbows.

There are also scales on both of his feet that reaches up to his knees, and scales on his cheeks, aside from that he also seems to grow a bit bulkier and taller, with his height reaching up to 7-8ft.

"Natsu-dono?"

"Natsu?"

Jura and Happy called out, but turned into more of a question instead, they couldn't believe that this man standing in front of them is Natsu.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!"

The trio turned their head and spotted a figure covered by lightning sparks walking towards them.

"HOW COULD YOU SURVIVE THAT?! YOU SHOULD'VE DIED EATING THE CRYSTAL!"
