Chapter 28

-5 minutes later-

Gran Doma glance at the fighters down below but stopped his gaze at Natsu.

'Hehe~, Miss Fiana is the only saint that have reached a higher rank despite her magic power much lesser than the rank below her. Mister Julius' magic power is at 8100, yet he is rank below miss Fiana.'

'You can't underestimate her, after all if she only has more magic power, then perhaps she will already be the fifth God of Ishgar.'

Gran Doma grinned, he knew that Natsu obtaining a higher rank is nigh impossible, if he lose, then he will have to fight Julius, who has a higher magic power than him.

"Five minutes have passed, the fight between miss Fiana Aquabell and master Natsu Dragneel will begin in 3... 2.... 1..! Start!"

Hearing the go sign, Natsu did not waste any time and rushed to his opponent, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Fiana easily dodged the attack and kneed Natsu on the gut, then using her arms, elbowed him on the back.

"GAH-!?"

Natsu winced in pain but still gritted his teeth and counter attack, "FIRE DRAGON'S CLAW!" Natsu's feet ignites with flames as he spinned and kick Fiana.

She blocks his attack by crossing her arms and retreated a few steps back, taking a deep breath, she roared, "SEA GOD'S BELLOW!"

A powerful wave of dark-water shot from her to Natsu, who widened his eyes in shock but still countered attack, "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Fire and Water clashed and it only took awhile before the black-like water swallowed the flames and hit Natsu.

Natsu managed to cross his arms to defend but he was still sent flying to the wall of the stadium.

Natsu's arms are screaming at him in pain, he did not expect her attack to be strong despite already being severely weakened by his flames.

'Sea God Slayer? Damn, I just got the Fire God Slayer a few weeks ago and now I already encountered another God Slayer.'

"Don't daze off on a fight. Sea God's Thrash!"

Boom!

Luckily, Natsu evaded Fiana's attack by rolling to the side, he shook all the unnecessary thoughts and focus on fighting.

With his hand lit ablaze, Natsu swipes at the female sea god slayer in a claw-like fashion, as he roared.

"Fire Dragon's Crashing Fang!"

Fiana easily intercepted him by her own attack, "Sea God's Trident!" three, spiraling sharp water appeared and stab Natsu.

However, Natsu was merely sent flying as his skin was tough due to him being a dragon slayer, though it certainly hurts enough for him to cough blood.

Fiana smirked and decided to end the match, she raised her arms, "SEA GOD'S RAGING WAVE!" before clapping them.

Two large waves of water appeared from Natsu's sides and swiftly slammed into him.

As the attack calmed down, Natsu was revealed badly beaten kneeling on the ground.

Fiana grinned and nodded her head, "Good, despite taking one of my most powerful spell, you still isn't lying on the ground. You have my respect, Dragneel."

Above the stadium, the councilors couldn't help but snicker while some sighs in relief, Gran Doma himself was grinning ear-to-ear.

When he was about to announce the result of the match, he saw Natsu slowly stood up with his body shaking.

'Damn it! Just stay down already!'

Natsu could hear his bones making some cracking noise, the force from the wave seems to shake all the bones in his body.

If it wasn't for his god-like endurance, he would've been crushed to the ground already, without even having strength to move his fingers.

However, thanks to that attack, he discovered something, or more like, he thought of something that can allow him to win this fight.

Of course he won't use the Titanic-Dragon form, that is his trump card and he can't allow the council to know about it.

He was thinking about his other flame, the God's Flame.

Yes, he knew that right now, for some reason he doesn't know, he can't use fuse his god flame to any flames he have.

But...

As Natsu stood up, he gave Fiana a smirk as his right arm is engulfed by a red flame, Fiana merely glanced at it uninterestedly.

However, the next thing that the dragon slayer did shocked the entire people present.

Natsu's left arm is engulfed by a black colored flames that seems to have some similarities to Fiana's magic.

The god slayer's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the black colored flames.

The rest of the saints weren't much better, even the strongest mage in Ishgar was at the black flames in shock.

'I'm so stupid, all this time I was trying to combine my god flames with my other flames like i did with the titan and dragon flames, when I could just use them simultaneously.'

Natsu thought of this method when he witnessed the two waves that slammed at him. He thought that if it was just one wave then he could at least protect himself, but two? He could only wait to be defeated.

That's when it hit him, he thought that 'If i can't fuse god flames with my other flames, then why not just use them at the same time?'

True his magic power are being drained much quickly but his fire-power will also increase by several times.

Natsu grinned as he stared at the female saint.

"Come on, it's time for round two."

"I'M ALL FIRED UP!"
