Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

The golden light slowly dissipated, receding from every inch of Magnolia like the tide receding, and the sky returned to its original color.

Riyao stood still, extended his dragon-transformed claws, casually picked his nose, then blinked his eyes, his vertical pupils filled with clear, innocent light.

It was as if the earth-shattering magic that had just occurred to him had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Laxus stood on the opposite side, frozen in place, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding on the field.

No one died because of the fairy's law.

There was no one there, not even an injured person.

The residents on the street were safe and sound, the rubble on the roofs was still there, and not a single flowerpot on the roadside was tilted.

Riyao twisted his body, his dragon tail swaying behind him, his tone laced with a hint of teasing and mischief.

"Wow, I never imagined you considered us your good friends, Laxus. That's really touching."

Laxus shuddered, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He sensed the magic power within his body. The Fairy Law had clearly been successfully released; the magic power had indeed been consumed, and the spell had indeed been activated.

"Why? Why?"

His voice went from hoarse to shrill, and he clutched his hair with both hands, his whole body trembling.

"The release was successful, so why is no one injured?!"

With his arms crossed and his dragon tail casually curled around his waist, Riyao spoke lazily, his tone as if he were reasoning with a sulking child.

"The laws of fairies only eliminate those you perceive as enemies. You stubborn tsundere~ You don't even consider us enemies in your heart, so the magic naturally won't work. It's that simple."

Laxus's lips twitched a few times, wanting to refute but unable to utter a single word.

The expression on his face changed from anger to confusion, and then from confusion to an indescribable pain.

Fred stood at the church entrance, stepping one foot inside and then pulling it back, unsure whether to go in or leave.

He originally came to persuade Laxus, after all, he had followed Laxus for so many years and didn't want to see him sink deeper and deeper.

But given the current momentum, it seems inconvenient for this to happen.

He silently retreated into the shadows, looking at Laxus with a complex expression.

Laxus remained rooted to the spot, unwilling to face the truth, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Sunshine scratched his head, and the arc of electricity on his dragon horn flickered. He realized that he was really bad at talking, and he could only say the same few things over and over again. If he kept talking, Laxus would probably explode on the spot.

So! Since you're not good at it, just leave it to someone who is!

Appear! Shiny Odd-Color Natsu!

With a wave of his hand, Riyao unleashed a turquoise magic circle beneath Natsu's feet, and blue flames unfolded layer by layer like lotus petals.

Under the influence of the Sun's magic, Natsu's aura suddenly surged, and blue and red flames intertwined, creating a different-colored Natsu.

Sunlight almost burst out laughing when he saw Natsu's current appearance.

Natsu's original hair was dyed green from the tip by strands by the magic of the sun.

It looked like he'd been pranked and stained, and paired with his silly expression, he looked utterly ridiculous.

To make room for Natsu, Sunburst clutched his chest, feigning a severe injury, and slumped backward, his body limp as if a willow branch swaying in the breeze.

The dragon's tail even drew an elegant arc in the air.

"Natsu, I'm leaving you to my own devices~"

His voice was so weak it sounded like he was about to die, but there was still a smile on his lips.

Mirajane appeared beside him at some point, caught Sunrise as he fell, and held him, crying.

"Sunrise~ What's wrong with you~"

Her voice was very cheerful, but there wasn't a single tear in her eyes; she was clearly just putting on a show.

Sunlight nestled in Mirajane's arms, closing his eyes to enjoy the moment, his tail wagging happily.

Levy appeared at the church entrance, panting, her hands on her knees, her face pale.

"The guild master! Laxus, your grandfather is unconscious! Granny Porcyca says he's dying!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.

Fied finally emerged from the shadows and stood behind Laxus.

"Laxus, stop now."

Laxus froze, slowly turning his head to look at Fred, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Natsu scratched his head and looked around. He didn't quite understand the intricacies of the situation.

But he knew one thing: his current opponent was Laxus.

Without saying a word, he stomped his feet and charged towards Laxus like a cannonball.

Laxus almost instinctively rushed forward, and the two collided, their fists landing squarely, the dull thuds echoing through the church ruins.

They exchanged punches and elbow strikes, each collision generating a shockwave that sent pebbles flying everywhere.

Laxus threw a punch, the force of which tore through the air, leaving a bloody gash on Natsu's cheek. But Natsu remained unmoved, enduring Laxus's fist and letting out a roar.

"I don't care at all! I am who I am, I am Laxus! I'm not that old geezer's grandson!"

Laxus roared with resentment and grievance, the lightning on his fist growing weaker yet more frenzied.

Natsu's face was punched by Laxus's fist, and he was grimacing in pain.

"Laxus! Stop patting yourself on the back!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked Laxus away, gritting his teeth as he retreated.

"What's so great about the old man's grandson? Stop barking like a dog over such trivial matters!"

Natsu clenched his fist tighter, flames leaping between his fingers, but his voice suddenly became low.

"The guild is our home, and we are all partners and family to each other! Don't you understand?"

For reasons unknown, Laxus became even more enraged upon hearing these words.

He roared, and the remaining lightning from his body surged forth, transforming into a golden bolt of lightning that shot upwards.

The blue and red flames on Natsu's body also surged violently. The two streams of light collided in the ruins, exploding into a cloud of dust as they fought fiercely.

However, Laxus's mana was depleted too much, and each punch was slower than the last, and each bolt of lightning was weaker than the last.

Natsu seized the opportunity.

He stepped forward and punched Laxus in the chest. Flames pierced through the dragon scales' defense, and the scorching impact caused Laxus to stagger backward.

The Fire Dragon's Iron Fist

He then spun to the side, his right leg wreathed in flames, accelerating as it swept across Laxus's abdomen like a red-hot iron pillar, kicking him so hard he bent over like a shrimp.

The Fire Dragon's Claw

Natsu gave him no chance to breathe, swinging his hands and unleashing two fiery slashes that struck Laxus's shoulders, leaving scorched marks that spread from his shoulders to his arms.

【Fire Dragon's Wing Attack】

Laxus staggered backward, and Natsu, his body wreathed in intertwined blue and red flames, slammed into him like a burning meteor, headbutting Laxus hard on the head. With a dull thud, the two were thrown back at the same time.

【The Fire Dragon's Sword Horn】

Using the force of the bounce, Natsu spun around, flames erupting from his elbow. The spinning arc of fire struck Laxus's cheek, knocking his head to the side and causing a string of blood to fly from the corner of his mouth.

[Fire Dragon's Flaming Elbow]

Laxus stood swaying, his vision blurred, his legs weak, but he stubbornly refused to fall.

Natsu took a deep breath, and his arms burst into even more intense flames, the blue and red intertwining and forming a spiraling storm. The heat wave distorted the surrounding air, and the rubble on the ground was baked red.

【Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Azure Lotus Blazing Blade】

Natsu crossed his arms and slashed out, unleashing a spiraling storm of fire that roared forth like a blooming lotus, its petals blazing with intense heat and its stamen a destructive force, slamming head-on into Laxus.

Laxus was overwhelmed by this combo and was completely defeated by the Dragon Slayer Technique when he reached the kill threshold.

His body arced through the air, his eyes rolled back, he lost consciousness, and crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The battle is over.

Sunrise leaned against Mirajane's chest, watching the fallen Laxus from afar. He scratched his head, thinking to himself, "How did the old man still get a heart attack from all that anger? He was taking such good care of himself."

Levy leaned closer, adjusted her glasses, and began to explain in a serious tone.

"The president fainted from anger because of the high cost of church repairs. Grandma Poliusika said he would be angry to death sooner or later."

Sunrise and Mirajane looked at each other, speechless.

Riyue gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of a word mage, his words are truly exquisite."

Levy pushed up her glasses, and a glint of light shone from the lenses.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Mirajane gently patted Sunrise on the shoulder and sighed.

"The president's health is indeed worrying."

Riyao thought about it and realized that the old man had lived from the first episode to more than 300 episodes, making him a legendary longevity king.

He stood up from Mirajane's arms, dusted off non-existent dust, and his dragon tail swayed gently.

"Let's go see the old man, and while we're at it, let's drag Laxus back with us. His rebellious phase should be over."
