Chapter 52

"FIRE DRAGON KING'S ROAR!!"

Dark-crimson flames blasts from Natsu mouth to Liem, and the Asura arms was completely vaporized.

Liem's eyes widened in shock and quickly used the power of the trident to block the attack, however, the flames was too powerful that it broke the trident in half.

"AAAAAAAHHH!!"

He was engulfed by the large wave of dark-crimson flames and fell down in the sea, whether he's dead or alive is unknown.

Natsu already lost his consciousness after he fired that last attack, he was falling down in great speed and he would surely drown.

However, just before he reach the sea, a large figure emerged and caught him as if he was just a dust.

The Leviathan regained its clarity and broke free from the influence of the trident.

It caught Natsu before he reach the sea and look at him, more specifically, at his stomach.

Then, a shining nail-sized blue-pearl dropped from the Leviathan's forehead to Natsu's ċhėst, the moment that the pearl reached his ċhėst, it submerged and disappeared.

Then, blue lightning sparks appeared from his body for a few seconds before disappearing.

Then, the Leviathan lifted its head and glared at the sky for a few seconds before shifting its gaze, it look towards the distant sea where the others saints were riding on a wave, coming towards them.

It then took the crown of Natsu's head and submerged, disappearing in the depths of the sea.

...

Up in the sky, two person can be seen floating, one is a man wearing a tattered brown cloak covering his face, while the other is a man with silver hair and crimson eyes.

(A/N: New OC? No, they had already beed introduced in the earlier chapters, around chapter 5)

"Maaan~ the Leviathan Emperor is really scary~ no wonder he is called the Emperor," the silver haired man said with a smile on his face, though you can feel a slight fear in his voice.

The tattered cloak person remained silent and glance at Natsu, then shifted his gaze to the saints, before looking at the direction of Fiore.

"I didn't expect that this person would actually obtain the slayer magic of the three overlords, he also has the god slayer and that other thing I feel inside him. He is interesting."

"Oh? Interesting? It seems like he'll be a big shot in the future." The silver haired man said with a smile on his face, "How about that brat? The disciple of that old man?"

The cloaked man remained silent, as if pondering something, it took him a few seconds before he replied, "He's the disciple of that old man, and also the new user of the True Darkness magic, i guess he's also interesting."

"....." The cloaked person watched as the saints took Natsu towards Fiore, before speaking, "Let's go, there's nothing interesting here anymore. I thought that Liem would succeed that's why I helped him, in the end, he failed. He's boring."

The cloaked man then disappeared, leaving a strong gust of wind that pushed the silver haired man for a few meteres.

"....As expected, he left me again."

....

Five days later, Fiore Kingdom's capital city, Crocus,

Natsu was lying on a bed with his eyes close, his body full of bandages, he is literally covered by bandages to the point where, if his head was also covered, then he's no different from a mummy.

There are also four girls inside the room, one was a short blue hair sitting beside the window, the other has an emerald greed hair that wore a royal robe that looks to be no older than thirteen, sitting beside the bed.

The other has a black hair that seems to be in her twenties peeling some apples with a smile on her face, while the last one has a dark-purple hair with white ribbon, holding a sheathed sword, sitting at the corner of the room while reading a pocketbook.

The room was filled with awkward silent, and Fiana, having enough of it, decided to break the ice, she took her gaze from the window and glance at the women in the room.

The other girls stopped what they are doing and glance at her, which caused her to feel so awkward, fortunately the other girls did not stare at her for too long and get back to what they are doing.

Seeing them ignoring her, Fiana ġrȯȧnėd and turn back to gaze through the window.

"Urgh~"

Suddenly, a low groan cause interrupted them, they turned their head to the only man in the room and saw him slowly opening his eyes.

""NATSU!""

The four of them quickly went beside him, eagerly waiting for him to finally wake up after many days.

Natsu groggily opened his eyes, and immediately felt his body aching all over to the point where even moving his head gave him so much pain.

He look around with his eyes, and was immediately greeted by the sight of four pretty girls looking at him with a smile.

Seeing their smiles, he respondas well, he gave them a grin that made the girls laugh in joy.

"....by the way, how long was I out?" Natsu asked, as he opened his mouth to eat the apple that Ultear is feeding him.

"About five days or so." Fiana responds as she sat beside him.

"...By the way Natsu, we will be holding a banquet here in the palace in a few days time, I guess you'll be fine by then, you'll have to attend alright?" Hisui said as she stared at him straight in the eyes.

"Of course!" Natsu replied with a grin.

Suddenly the door opens and Kagura walks in, she then stood beside Natsu's bed and folded her arms.

"...I already informed the guild that you woke up, they are currently partying in the guild right now, also there is a new member joining the guild, and maybe another one a few years later," she said the last part in whisper, though Natsu still heard her but didn't say anything.

Kagura's thoughts wandered to the dragon slayer that she fought, despite already back to her peak state, she still willingly surrendered herself.

"Kagura, are you okay?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and stared at Natsu, who is looking at her worriedly, her lips curled up to a smile.

"That's good."

She let out a small giggle when she saw his worried face, she find it quite cute actually, she then suddenly thought of something and called out, "Oh and Natsu-sama.."

"Hm?" Natsu glance at her in confusion.

Kagura look at the other girls that are glaring at her and giggled before shaking her head as she look back at Natsu.

"...no, its nothing."

"Oh~"
