The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 731 Igneel's Help

Natsu was pulled out of the battlefield by Gray and the others. Of course, Natsu himself was unwilling to do so, as he wanted to fight alongside Ciel.

But this was something that was agreed upon before the war. Unless Natsu got the Book of END, he could not fight Zeref head-on.

The more realistic reason is that all three parties involved in the battle are monsters, and their intervention will only cause more trouble.

In the center of the battlefield, the entire earth was lifted up and shattered in mid-air. The black energy released by Jellal passed through the broken earth and rocks like a missile, and finally hit Charles behind.

Charles took a deep breath, took a step forward and swung his arms to shatter the black energy coming at him one by one.

When Charles rushed in front of Jellal, he saw a huge open magic circle. Three conical energy bodies like the claws of wild beasts pierced out from it and directly knocked Charles away.

But at this moment, Ignia descended from the sky and kicked the vertebrae and the magic circle to pieces with one kick. The erupting flames forced Jellal to retreat.

As soon as Ignia stopped, Charles appeared in front of him and hit Ignia's chest with a top elbow with black and red electric light.

With the sound like a huge war drum, Ignia flew backwards.

If it weren't for his strong physique as a dragon, his heart would not have just stopped beating for a few seconds, but would have exploded directly.

But Charles had no time to be proud now, as a huge amount of dark energy had already fallen, covering both Charles and Ignia.

In mid-air, Jellal frowned because he saw flames coming out from the edge of the dark energy.

He already knew that both Ciel and Ignia were the strongest opponents he had ever encountered, and perhaps neither of them was easier to deal with than Acnologia.

But he didn't expect that if a fight really broke out, the two would be so difficult to deal with.

In the instant that his thoughts were flowing, flames had already risen up and burned the dark energy into nothingness. Two figures flew up at the same time and collided with Jellal.

In mid-air, flames and dark energy burst out together, entangled and tore the sky into horrific cracks.

Amidst the stormy elemental turbulence, a giant scaly claw stretched out, and then Ignia, who had transformed back into his original form, broke free.

At the same time, the elemental turbulence was suppressed and annihilated by even more powerful magic power, and the dragon-like Charles and Jellal also appeared.

Charles was suspended in mid-air, with white air coming out from between his fangs as he breathed.

Not sure if there was some special reaction between the dragon transformation magic and his own magic, the Ring of the Nibelung, but Charles just felt that his magic power was unusually active.

Especially since Charles felt that the effect of his development ability [Fighting Spirit] was unprecedentedly enhanced, he decisively flapped his dragon wings and rushed forward like a meteor.

Jellal put his hands together and made a special hand seal, and the black mist condensed into a texture like flame.

Charles didn't care at all about what magic Jellal used, he just punched him.

"The Flame Dragon Emperor's Dominant Fist!"

The flames and the black and red electric light blended perfectly together, and Charles felt that this was the most perfect punch he had ever thrown.

The power of this punch was naturally amazing. It directly tore through Jellal's dark flames and knocked him flying.

Charles did not stop moving, he turned his body and made another side kick, hitting Ignia's dragon claw.

Two giant dragons, one big and one small, flew backwards at the same time, but surprisingly, the larger Ignia flew farther.

What came out of Charles' mouth was not just white mist, but even tiny sparks.

Just like the catchphrase that Igner and the children he raised always say when they fight, Ciel seems to be really excited at this moment. Ignia, who also has Igner's blood flowing in his veins, is not disappointed at all because of being at a disadvantage. Instead, he becomes more excited and even laughs.

"That's it. This is the kind of battle where I risk everything. As Igneel's successors, we are the most suitable opponents. Let's fight to our heart's content!"

Charles grinned, and a hint of madness flashed across his vertical pupils.

Just as Charles was about to move, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Fool, you are indeed the heir, but what exactly did you inherit from me?"

The familiar voice woke Charles up instantly; it was Igner's reminder.

Far away in the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia, Igneel in child form hugged his shoulders with a smile on his face.

He naturally knew what this war represented, and it was his own son who first started the war.

But as he had just been reborn, he was powerless to help, and he also believed that the children he had raised - Ciel and Natsu - would end it all.

All he could do was point them in the right direction at critical moments.

So before the battle, Igneel left his magic power on the two of them. Because he was too weak now, the magic power was only able to transmit his voice.

This was originally prepared for Natsu. After all, he has the hidden dangers of both the Dragon Seed and the Devil Seed. At the critical moment, even just sound can play a big role.

The magic power on Charles was just left behind by chance. After all, Charles had never made him worry too much.

But unexpectedly, it was the magic power in Charles that took effect first.

Igneel knew what was wrong with Ciel. It was not a side effect of magic, but Ciel's own mentality.

Ciel and Ignia actually have something in common, that is, they are both people who pursue power.

Although their starting points are different, one is to protect his family and companions, while the other is for power itself.

But the two of them had indeed walked the same path, both had worked hard to hone themselves and then fought against powerful enemies.

So Ciel also awakened the development ability of [Fighting Spirit].

The desire to fight with the strong was once Charles's wish, no matter what his original intention was.

It cannot be said that this mentality is wrong. After all, outstanding fighters all have the same qualities.

But Igneel didn't want Ciel to be influenced by that kind of mood. Ciel should focus on his own heart.

Igneel believed that Ciel would be able to adjust himself, after all, Ciel had been fighting towards one goal.

But he still used his magic to remind him. Ciel had now fully grown up. Ever since they fought against Acnologia together, Igneel knew that there was not much he could do for Ciel.

And this time, just think of it as the last insignificant thing I do for my child as a father!
……

Ciel covered his chest with his hands, a smile forming on his lips.

"Igneel, thank you!"
