The seven-colored magical flames were not static but rapidly rotated and intertwined like living beings, each color emitting distinctly different magical fluctuations—the molten gold and iron corrosion of red flames, the violent explosion of orange flames, the sluggish stickiness of yellow flames, the sweet and poisonous nature of green flames, the bone-chilling cold of cyan flames, the decomposition and erosion of blue flames, and the illusionary distortion of purple flames!
Within the deadly beauty lay a destructive killing intent.
In the center of the magic circle, space rippled like water, and a figure stepped out as if from the void, standing firmly on the dead branches and fallen leaves.
It was one of the Ten Demon Generals, the fire element Tutu Maru.
He was still wearing a dark black wide-sleeved haori, his black and white long hair meticulously tied back into a samurai topknot.
At his waist hung the vermilion-handled tachi "red hell," its scabbard's ancient dark gold patterns glowing faintly in the dim light.
His usual lazy, playful smile, when he felt the more condensed and terrifying oppressive force from Natsu after the fusion, like an erupting volcano, paused slightly, then transformed into a hint of playful curiosity, but a barely noticeable gravity flashed deep in his eyes.
"Oh?" Tutu Maru adjusted the hilt of the tachi at his waist, his voice having a metallic friction-like quality, exceptionally clear in the dead silence of the forest. "Quite the aggressive aura, little brat from Fairy Tail. Playing with fire in the forest can cause a wildfire, you know. If you burn down this forest, Jose will be angry."
His gaze swept over the vanished Happy on Natsu's shoulder, then returned to Natsu's red pupils, which burned with pure fighting spirit.
"You're too loud! You look like a weirdo from a play!" The crimson flames in Natsu's eyes surged, sparks shot from his nostrils, and his chest suddenly swelled like a giant bellows!
The vast magical power after fusion violently compressed and surged within him! He suddenly opened his mouth, a dazzling crimson light glowing deep in his throat, and the surrounding air was instantly sucked dry!
"Fire Dragons Roar!!!"
Boom—!!!!
It was no longer scattered fireballs or streams of flame, but a destructive torrent of energy, condensed like a crimson crystal pillar!
Its diameter far exceeded previous ones, its core temperature so high that the air shrieked, appearing as an almost transparent, blinding bright white!
This crimson dragon flame pillar tore through the twilight's tranquility, carrying a searing shriek that obliterated everything, slamming fiercely towards Tutu Maru!
Wherever it passed, the air twisted, and the leaf-strewn ground below was brutally ploughed open into a charred deep trench by the terrifying air pressure, the dead branches and leaves on either side instantly turning to ash!
"Tsk, a temper even hotter than fire." A seven-colored stream of light flashed in Tutu Maru's eyes, his playful expression instantly receding, and he thrust both hands forward! "Seven-Colored Flame Array: Rainbow Sky Guard!"
Buzz!!
With his movement, the giant seven-colored magic circle instantly contracted and deformed!
The red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple magical flames, as if pulled by an invisible hand, instantly intertwined, rotated, and condensed in front of him! A giant flame shield, several feet thick, composed of seven layers of different elemental flames, rapidly rotating, instantly formed!
The shield's surface shimmered with iridescent light, the seven-colored magical flames intertwining and merging, forming a fire wall that was both offensive and defensive, emitting an eerie fluctuation!
Rumble—!!!
The crimson-as-blood Dragon Flame pillar slammed fiercely into the seven-colored shield swirling with a deadly rainbow!
The deafening explosion instantly drowned out the dead silence of the forest!
Blinding light consumed their vision!
The terrifying shockwave spread frantically in all directions like a physical tsunami!
The charred earth below was fiercely ripped up, mixing with dead branches and leaves to form a turbulent giant wave of smoke and dust!
The already fallen giant trees around were pushed to tumble and shift by the shockwave, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound!
Scorching hot air, mixed with burning wood fragments and dirt, shot out in all directions like cannonballs!
The seven-colored Rainbow Sky Guard shield violently trembled upon impact! The light on its surface flickered wildly, brightening and dimming!
The outermost layer of red molten gold flames, under the impact of Natsu's purer, higher-temperature crimson Dragon Flame, was rapidly assimilated and devoured like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!
Immediately after, the inner layer of orange explosive flames attempted to ignite the impact but was forcibly suppressed by the violent power contained within the Dragon Flame torrent, exploding into a sky full of sparks!
The yellow sluggish magical flames, like viscous glue, tried to slow down the Dragon Flame's speed, but in the face of such absolute high temperature and impact force, their effect was negligible, and they were instantly disintegrated!
The green poisonous magical flames, like maggots on a bone, tried to penetrate and erode but were forcefully dispelled and purified by the Dragon Slaying power contained within the Dragon Flame!
Stalemate! It was a stalemate for less than two seconds!
Bang—Crack-crack-crack!!!
A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out!
Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the surface of the seven-colored Rainbow Sky Guard shield!
The seven-colored light rapidly dimmed!
Bang—!!!!
Finally, under Natsu's continuous, violent Dragon Flame impact, the seven-colored shield let out a groan of unbearable strain and completely shattered!
It transformed into a sky full of scattered seven-colored sparks, like dazzling but deadly fireworks, igniting even more dead leaves and bushes around!
