Fairy Tail: The Three Sacred Magic

"Are there really people from the future..." Hal narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and thought deeply.

"It's still Lucy and Rogue... No, the world line is completely different, I can't make such an assumption. Besides, there is no reason for Lucy to travel through, unless..." He paused, his pupils shrank slightly, "unless I really can't beat 10,000 dragons and die in that battle."

After thinking about it, he shook his head: "But this possibility is too low."

"Hal!" Mavis quietly patted his hand, with a concerned look on her face.

She didn't say anything, just silently observing Hal's reaction.

At the moment, seeing him so thoughtful, she couldn't help but worry.

"I'm fine." Hal looked down at Mavis, smiled, then raised his head and looked at everyone in the room.

Jellal had returned to the room without knowing when, standing beside Laxus, watching him silently.

Cobra and Ultear sat on chairs on the left and right, as if waiting for Hal's instructions.

Brother Cat was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He rubbed his hands and looked like he was ready to stand up and run away at any time.

Hal sighed softly, then spoke steadily: "Generally speaking, unless humans who pass through the Eclipse Gate actively reveal their identities or take action, we can't detect their existence at all."

He changed the subject and looked deep: "Let's wait and see. Tomorrow is the last day of the martial arts performance. After the gate is opened, if he really wants to take action, he will definitely act at that time."

Everyone listened quietly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Hal cast his eyes on Mavis: "Mavis, where is the nearest military deployment?"

"In order to guard against the Albares Empire, most of the troops are concentrated in the southwest, close to the coastline."

"Draw one million imperial troops and let them be ready for support at any time. Stay still and don't let the enemy notice our deployment intentions."

"Understood." Mavis nodded, her tone full of determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hal stood up and walked towards the window. Through the window, his eyes fell on Natsu who was excitedly going on stage in the center of the venue.

He murmured: "There is still one day... Come on, future people, whether it is the Gate of Hades or the Dragon Slayer of the Northern Continent... I will crush you all!"

——

In the center of the venue, the atmosphere was in a white-hot stage.

"Natsu Dragneel of Team A of Fairy Tail will face Drunken Eagle Pacas of the Four Hounds!" The host announced excitedly.

"WILD!!!" The members of the Four Hounds Guild shouted collectively.

"FOUR!!!" Pacas stood in the center of the venue, his hands folded across his chest, with a hideous smile on his face.

"Is this your guild slogan?" Natsu stood opposite with a provocative smile.

"Oh? You are also a WILD kid." Pacas raised his eyebrows and his eyes flickered.

"Hmm?"

"You have the same smell... on you." Pakas licked his lips and said excitedly.

In the distance, Erza frowned slightly and whispered to herself: "I didn't expect him to appear... Pakas... What a trouble."

"Is he strong?" Gray asked doubtfully.

"Seven years ago, I fought him and we were evenly matched." Erza said coldly.

"That stinky flame will be happy this time," Gray said half-jokingly with a slight smile on his face, "Defeating Pakas is equivalent to defeating you seven years ago?"

Erza's face sank: "Are you looking for death, Gray?"

At the same time, Sting looked at Natsu on the field from a distance, smashed the stone pillar next to him, and said with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Natsu actually appeared... What a pity."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities tomorrow." Rekuta patted Sting on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yes, I heard that the eldest lady will also participate in the battle." Roger said coldly.

"Oh?! This is interesting!" Sting's eyes lit up, and he became excited instantly.

——

Back in the center of the venue, Natsu stared at Pakas in front of him and slowly said, "I heard that you and Erza were evenly matched seven years ago?"

"That's all old news!" Pakas waved his hand and smiled disdainfully, "I am now more than ten times stronger than I was then!"

Natsu did not respond, but just lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out a low laugh: "That's good."

Pakas was stunned: "Huh?"

"In this way, defeating you will be interesting!"

Boom——

The flames under Natsu's feet suddenly erupted, and the terrifying air waves instantly swept the entire venue, and the flames turned into hot air currents and rushed towards Pakas.

Natsu's figure seemed to disappear in the flames, and he jumped into the sky with the explosion of the flames under his feet.

PakasBefore he could react, he was pushed back by the huge air wave.

He subconsciously raised his arm to cover his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "This guy...!"

However, before he could adjust himself, Natsu's voice came from the air, deafening: "Pakas! Take my punch. If you don't fall, I will recognize your strength!"

"Arrogant boy!" Pakas' eyes were bloodshot, and his magic power burst out instantly, forming a powerful magic hand, "Drunken Chopping Palm!"

Natsu jumped high, and the flames condensed on his right fist seemed to ignite the entire sky. The red flames entangled from his arms, like a ferocious fire dragon roaring into the sky.

The flames were reflected on countless faces in the audience, with shock, horror, and various expressions intertwined.

"That, that fist... is it a little too big?" A spectator shivered and swallowed his saliva.

"Ah..." Another person took over, but couldn't find more words.

Natsu's roar resounded throughout the venue: "Fire Dragon's——Beng Fist!!!"

The huge flames wrapped around the fist, constantly condensing, and finally formed a behemoth ten meters high and five meters thick, like a fist of doom falling from the sky.

Before Natsu's body hit the ground, with just a swing of his arm, the huge fist came down like a meteorite, directly hitting Pakas' head.

Pakas' eyes gradually changed from the original red to cracked, and his pupils began to deform due to the extremely high temperature.

He murmured: "What...?"

He froze in place, obviously not expecting Natsu to burst out such a terrifying fire power.

After a moment of stagnation, fear swept over like a tide.

"I'm going to die!"

Pakas' hands instinctively condensed a magic barrier to block this devastating attack.

However, his magic barrier was instantly shattered in the face of the high temperature of the giant fist of fire, without even a chance to struggle.

In the face of such an absolute gap in magic power, his proud martial arts and magic, along with his confidence, were destroyed.

The giant fist slammed down!

"Natsu, stop!" In the audience, Cat Brother stood up from his seat suddenly, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"This punch will break through the arena! That guy Pacas, I guess there won't even be a corpse left!"

Hal just looked at everything in front of him calmly, with a gratified smile in his simple and calm eyes.

"Grow up, Natsu..."

Just when everyone was holding their breath waiting for the devastating giant fist to fall, a miracle happened - the giant fist of fire disappeared the moment it touched Pacas!

"Disappeared!?" The audience widened their eyes.

"Impossible... How could such a huge amount of fire magic just... disappear?"

Natsu lightly retracted his right hand from the air and looked at Pacas, who was holding his head with his arms at this time, still trembling with fear.

Natsu raised a contemptuous smile.

"I don't need so much magic power to deal with you." Natsu shook his head with a hint of disdain, "This is enough."

Before he finished speaking, Natsu's figure fell from the sky like a meteor, and his straight fist hit Pakas' chest mercilessly.

Boom--

The terrifying force instantly knocked Pakas to the ground. With him as the center, a large pit with a diameter of ten meters was blasted out in the arena, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Natsu slowly retracted his fist, and the arena fell into a brief silence.

"Winner!" The referee's voice was a little trembling, "Natsu Dragneel! With absolute power! One punch! He defeated Pakas, the strongest wizard of the four hounds!"

"Too strong... It's just a monster!"

The audience's discussions and surprises came like a tide.

But at this time, Natsu had no expression on his face, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

The noisy sound gradually disappeared in his ears, and his eyes began to wander around the audience, and an inexplicable sense of sadness rose in his heart.

"What is this feeling... someone is looking at me... this sad atmosphere... where is it... it's someone very important to me..."

Lucy on the stage looked at Natsu's expression and couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong with Natsu?"

"Who knows, doesn't this kid jump all over the field after winning? Today is abnormal." Gray next to him also looked puzzled.

In the distance, Hal narrowed his eyes slightly and sensed the fluctuations of Natsu's emotions.

He whispered to himself: "Natsu... your perception since childhood is so strong that it surprises me. What did you see?"

Just then, Natsu's eyes suddenly locked on a corner of the audience.

With a low roar, the flames wrapped around his body and rushed to that place.

Everyone saw Natsu swooping down like a meteor, hitting the defensive magic directlyArray.

Boom——

The magic array was broken instantly, and the originally extremely solid defense array seemed to be made of paper. Under Natsu's lava fist, it turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.

"What is he...what is he doing?!" The audience burst into exclamations.

"This kid is crazy! He attacked the audience?!" Brother Cat was furious and jumped on the stage excitedly, "Guards! Stop him quickly!"

"Wait! Natsu seems to be looking for someone." Hal said with a serious look.

"Looking for someone?"

At this moment, Natsu's flame-wrapped figure finally appeared in front of a black-robed man.

The black-robed man trembled and seemed to be about to get up and run away, but soon, a strong hand had firmly grasped her wrist.

Natsu gently untied the black robe, and as the cloth slipped off, a waterfall of golden hair fell in the sun, and the girl's figure seemed to be wrapped in golden light.

In an instant, the originally restless audience suddenly quieted down, and the girl's radiance soothed everyone's mood.

"Is that... a woman?"

The girl's sad tears and angelic face instantly struck everyone's heart.

It seemed that every tear of hers made the people present feel heartbroken.
