Jelial could not understand. Natsu had gone so easily at first. He had even knocked his piece off the board presuming he was permanently out of play. Where was he getting the energy to put up such a fight? He was going to ruin everything.
"Where is all this strength coming from? You were so weak before."
Natsu held the unconscious Erza in his arms " You made Erza cry. I would do anything to punish you for doing that. Just to see Erza back to normal is enough for me. Nothing will stand in my way of accomplishing that. You say that I cannot beat or Etherion. If that is what is necessary to save Erza and make her stop crying I will do it."
