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

The crimson and cyan colors completely overwhelmed the black and white. The Holy Shadow Dragon Fang Flash could only withstand the roar of the Azure Flame Dragon for less than two seconds before being torn apart and disintegrated into countless black and white fragments.

The Azure Flame Dragon's roar and charge showed no signs of abating, carrying a scorching heat that distorted the air as it charged straight toward Stinger and Rogue.

boom!

The two were confident that Holy Shadow Dragon Fang Flash would win, so they did not make full preparations.

There was no time to dodge; it crashed through several trees, the sound of breaking trunks echoing as wood chips and leaves flew everywhere.

Finally, the two crashed heavily onto the trunk of a large tree, bringing them to a stop. The impact even cracked the trunk.

Stinger lay on his back beside the tree roots, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His chest heaved violently, each breath accompanied by a burning pain.

Roger lay prone in the grass a few meters away, half of his body charred black, his fingers still twitching slightly.

Rector and Frosty looked anxious and ran over quickly on their short legs. Rector pounced on Stinger's side, patting his cheek with his little paws, his voice trembling with urgency.

"Stinger! Stinger, are you alright?!"

Frosty crouched down next to Roger's head, gently nudging his shoulder with her little hands, her soft voice carrying a rare hint of panic.

"Rog...Rog, wake up..."

Natsu scratched his head, looked at the damage he had caused, chuckled a little embarrassedly, and then called out in the direction of Sunrise, his tone tinged with guilt.

"Sunlight, please help me out, you're using too much force."

Riyao jumped down from the boulder, dusted himself off, and showed no surprise on his face, instead smiling with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad, I can finally use my Azure Flame."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Stinger and Roger, his steps unhurried, his hands in his pockets, looking like he was taking a leisurely stroll.

When Rector saw Sunshine approaching, he immediately became agitated, his hair standing on end as he spread his arms to block Stinger. His small body was ramrod straight, his beard trembled with anger, and although his voice was trembling, his attitude was resolute.

"I'm not afraid of you! Don't even think about hurting Stinger and Roger!"

"Floyd thinks so too."

Frosty also stood in front of Roger, her little hands clenched into fists and held in front of her chest. Her expression was serious and obedient, but her little legs were trembling slightly, obviously she was also afraid, but she stubbornly refused to back down.

Riyao looked down at the two kittens blocking his way and his lips twitched.

"What are you thinking? I'm a healing mage, let me heal them."

Rector paused for a moment, and before he could react, Sunshine had already stepped over the two cats and squatted between Stinger and Roger.

He stretched out his hands, and a green magic circle appeared in his palms. The green light, representing healing, gently seeped into their bodies like spring water.

Wherever the green light passed, the charred skin began to peel off, revealing the new, tender skin underneath. The broken bones made a soft cracking sound as they rejoined under the guidance of magic, and the bruises and bloodstains slowly disappeared like the receding tide.

Stinger and Roger's injuries were quickly healed, leaving no scars, only the scorch marks on their clothes serving as a reminder of what had just happened.

Stinger pushed himself up and sat up, his movements still a little slow, not because of the pain, but because his mind hadn't quite caught up yet.

He looked down at his intact hands, then looked up at Natsu's back as he stood on the beach. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

The two began to question the meaning of life.

"I can't even beat Mr. Natsu, how could I possibly kill Byslowia?"

His voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost blown away by the sea breeze. There was no anger or resentment in his tone, only a deep sense of confusion and self-doubt.

Riyao stood up, looked down at him, and spoke in a calm tone, as if stating a very simple fact.

"A dragon lies there letting you attack it hundreds of times, and not even a single scale is broken. What are you thinking?"

Stinger fell silent, opening his mouth as if to refute, but couldn't find any reason to do so.

The battle just now proved everything. Even when he and Rogue joined forces, they couldn't defeat Natsu alone, let alone a dragon.

Roger seemed lost in thought, sitting on the ground without saying a word, just with his head down, his fingers unconsciously stroking Frosty's head, Frosty nestling obediently in his hand.

Natsu walked over, laughing carefree, completely unaware of how hurtful his words were. He put his hands behind his head, looking completely nonchalant.

"Hahaha, you can't possibly kill a dragon. Wait till I kill one and show you!"

He spoke with such confidence, as if he were stating what he was going to eat tomorrow, his lips curled into a wide grin. His naive yet arrogant self-confidence left one unsure whether to be angry or speechless.

Gray stood to the side, arms crossed, shook his head speechlessly, and sighed, his tone full of weariness from having seen through the ways of the world.

Does Dragon Slayer Magic affect intelligence?

Wendy looked at Gray innocently and blinked her big eyes.

Gray realized he had misspoke and quickly waved his hand, speaking faster.

"Hey, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, and these two."

He pointed at Natsu and Stingrog, who was still on the ground and hadn't recovered yet, with a look of disgust as if he were pointing out some kind of pest.

"Ice-faced guy, who are you calling stupid?!"

Upon hearing this, Natsu instantly bristled, veins bulging on his forehead, and shoved his hand into Gray's face, nose to nose.

Gray was not to be outdone, his forehead pressed against Natsu's, and a palpable tension flared between them, neither willing to back down an inch.

"So, how are you?"

The two started fighting, with Natsu punching Gray in the shoulder and Gray retaliating by elbowing Natsu in the ribs.

The two rolled around on the beach like two bulls, churning up sand that flew everywhere. People nearby quickly stepped back to avoid them, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Erza stepped forward, expressionless, and flicked each of them on the forehead with both hands. The sound of her knuckles striking their skulls was crisp and clear, the force precise and irresistible.

"No fighting!"

The two of them simultaneously clutched the large bumps on their heads and squatted down, seeing stars and grinning, while also glaring at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

Lucy couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight, her shoulders shaking. After laughing, she didn't forget to add insult to injury.

"Your IQ isn't much higher either."

Gray covered his head and snorted coldly, turning his head away, but his ears were slightly red, clearly because he had been touched on a sore spot.

Juvia immediately moved closer to Gray, cupped her cheeks in her hands, her face flushed, and spoke with a sincerity that sounded like she was making a vow.

"Juvia thinks Lord Gray has the highest IQ in the guild!"

Gray's lips twitched slightly, unsure whether to be touched or helpless, so he simply gave a mumbled hum in response.

Natsu pursed his lips, no longer bothering with Gray, turned around and walked towards Stinger, squatted down and continued to ask about the dragon, his tone urgent and serious.

"Hey, what do you mean by the white dragon Baislocia and the shadow dragon Skiadram? Have you ever seen a red fire dragon?"

Still lost in self-doubt, Stinger shook his head blankly when he heard Natsu's question.

Riyao yawned, his mouth wide open, a tear squeezing out from the corner of his eye. After eating, drinking, and watching the show, sleepiness surged up like a tide. He stretched lazily, his joints cracking.

"Mira, let's go back to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

Mirajane also stood up, patted the grass clippings off her skirt, and naturally took Riyao's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, her voice soft and languid.

"Let's go back then."

Sunlight pulled Mirajane along, and the two walked side by side toward the camp, the moonlight casting long shadows of them.

Charlotte jumped down from the rock and flew to Wendy's side, grabbing Wendy's hand with her little paws, her tone carrying a hint of "Don't hang out with these idiots."

"Wendy, let's go back to sleep and ignore these idiots."

"Xia Lulu..."

Wendy smiled helplessly as Charlotte pulled her toward the camp. She glanced back at Stinger and Roger with a hint of worry in her eyes, but didn't say anything more.

Happy followed Xia Lulu around happily, his short legs moving quickly, his tail wagging like a rattle, and he was shouting.

"Wait for me, Xia Lulu~"

Natsu turned around and called out.

"Harbour, you traitor! You didn't even wait for me!"

Harpy didn't even turn his head, but simply raised one of his little paws and waved it, a gesture that was both elegant and ruthless.
