The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 116 The Temptation of the Demon Island Girl

"That beast-like intuition is truly amazing."

Natsu did not reply, but instead launched another fierce attack.

"Fire Dragon's Horn!" Natsu was enveloped in the flames of a fire dragon, as if he had transformed into a real fire dragon, and charged at Wes with his head at high speed.

A whooshing sound filled the air, and flames left long tails behind them.

Wes immediately read out: "Obstacles everywhere!!" Five invisible barriers appeared between the two of them.

Natsu felt the air resistance ahead suddenly increase, but he gritted his teeth and charged forward with all his might.

After breaking through the first three barriers, Natsu's speed noticeably decreased.

When he reached the fourth barrier, he was exhausted and frozen in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.

"Fire a barrage!" Wes seized the opportunity, and under his control, the pebbles in the forest transformed into powerful cannonballs that shot towards Natsu.

Natsu quickly adjusted his stance and used his fists and feet to knock away the incoming pebbles one by one.

If you encounter a large rock, melt it directly with flames.

The mages here are all very skilled in hand-to-hand combat; I need to learn from them properly and not waste this enhanced body.

But the important thing now is to deal with Natsu.

Dragon Slayer Magic is indeed very powerful, but Natsu is not yet able to unleash its full potential.

After several rounds of fighting, Wes had roughly figured out Natsu's strength and was unwilling to waste any more time.

"Gravity compression!"

As soon as Wes finished speaking, Natsu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, and the surrounding rocks, under his control, rained down on him like a storm.

With his speed greatly reduced, Natsu could no longer dodge as easily as before. Many pebbles struck his body directly, cutting open wounds from which blood flowed.

Damn it! I can't even move in this situation...

Natsu was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. If he couldn't find a way to break the "gravity pressure," he would only become more and more passive.

"Happy, what should we do?" Lucy was somewhat frightened and uneasy when she saw Natsu in a disadvantageous position.

"It's alright, this little injury is nothing to Natsu."

"You just said that guy was just a fire mage, but look how many kinds of magic he's used now." Lucy started shaking Happy again.

"Lucy~" Happy replied with a pale face, "I'm about to throw up."

"I won't believe you! Hurry up and find a way to help Natsu!" Lucy was almost in tears.

"Ugh~~" Happy's eyes turned into mosquito coil eyes, and in the end he couldn't hold it in and vomited.

"Oh dear, you actually threw up," Lucy quickly moved aside, but still urged, "Hurry up and think of a way to help Natsu."

"Lucy~" Happy's tongue was still not straight.

"My name is Lucy!!" Lucy corrected him angrily.

"Lucy, you're a Fairy Tail mage too," Happy reminded her after managing to steady herself. "We can't let our comrades fight alone."

Upon hearing this, Lucy suddenly realized, "That's right, I'm a qualified mage too."

She then took out a golden key, which represented the zodiac sign Taurus.

"Heed my call, Talos!!" Lucy cried out, inserting the key into the void. Starlight flashed instantly, and a gigantic humanoid cow appeared on the battlefield, a massive double-bladed axe strapped to its back.

"Taurus, Talos is here!" Talos's voice boomed like thunder as he swung his giant axe, causing the surrounding air to whistle and clatter.

He appeared and immediately began lecherously staring at Lucy: "Long time no see, Lucy. Your figure is still as amazing as ever!!"

"Talos, go help Natsu!" Lucy ignored him and gave the order directly.

"Yes, sir!" Talos immediately became serious, gripped the heavy battle axe tightly with both hands, leaped into the air, and slashed fiercely at Wes's head.

However, Talos's movements were too big and his intentions too obvious, and Wes easily dodged them.

"Protoss? What peculiar creatures. I'd really like to capture one and study it if I had the chance."

Wes stared at Talos with an extremely aggressive gaze.

Talos felt a chill run down his spine: "What kind of perverted mage is this guy, actually eyeing my perfect physique?"

Due to Talos's sudden attack, Wes had to halt his assault on Natsu, giving Natsu a precious respite.

Natsu quickly wiped the blood off his face and walked over to Talos.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Thanks, Cow," Natsu said.

"Damn it! I am Taurus of the Zodiac, not just any ordinary cow!!"

Talos clearly didn't have a very good temper with men.

"Alright, alright, let's finish this battle quickly." Natsu said while checking his injuries. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he hadn't lost his fighting spirit.

"Be careful of this guy, he knows a lot of magic. You're very strong, right? Help me hold him off."

"You brat, I'm not your Celestial Spirit, don't order me around..." Before Talos could finish speaking, Natsu had already launched an attack from Wes's left.

"Talos, please do as Natsu says," Lucy pleaded, clasping her hands together. "Defeat that guy, and I'll buy you the latest 'Magical Girl' manga!!"

"Moo~~~" Talos exhaled two puffs of white mist from his nostrils, then loudly replied, "It's a deal!!"

He tensed his leg muscles, pushed off hard, and created a deep crater in the ground.

Taros pushed his speed to the limit, forming a pincer movement with Natsu, and attacked Wes simultaneously.

Wes acted like a conductor, his wand tracing patterns in the air.

The ground bulged up, and thick tree roots transformed into whips that lashed out at Natsu and Talos.

Natsu was agile, like a nimble monkey, leaping lightly between tree roots to dodge every attack.

Whenever the tree roots approached, he could react quickly, skillfully avoid the danger, and look for an opportunity to fight back.

Talos seemed to possess inexhaustible brute strength, wielding his double-edged axe with impenetrable power.

The tree roots that had been used to bind them snapped under Talos's axe, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

He's nothing like the comedic character portrayed in the comics.

"Talos, watch out behind you!" Natsu shouted a warning, while simultaneously slipping through a gap in the tree roots to prepare for a side attack.

"Got it!" Talos immediately turned around and chopped off the tree root that was attacking from behind with an axe. "These tree roots are really troublesome."

Talos's strength was evident to Wes. After all, this was the real world, and how could someone be chosen by the Celestial Spirit King to become one of the "Zodiac" without some real skills?
