THE HELLFIRE FLAMES Chapter 7: Strongest fairy tail wizard?
The sky was a shade of inky blackness and in the dark, a number of mages were gathered. Master Makarov was currently in the progress of lecturing the dark mage Kageyama. All the while, the fairy tail members looked on with pride filled faces.
That is until a demonic voice interrupted the touching moment. "Enough of this foolishness, prepare to die humans. I will consume your souls with my melody of death." Shit, I need to get out of here, there isnt much time, Im so screwed the demon was really scared even though we would not show it.
With a cocky smirk, the ice mage, Gray Fullbuster stood up." Cmon guy lets show this demon the power of fairy tail."
Meanwhile, Lucy was freaking out really bad,"why did that flute come to life? What does he means by consume our souls? I wanna go home..."
Makarov's eyes narrowed. "This demon is Lullaby, one of Zeref's abominations."
Lucy looked on in confusion. "Zeref?"
"Years ago, an evil wizard named Zeref used living magic to give those demons life. He was very powerful back in his day." The person who said this is Master Bob of the Blue Pegasus guild. He had an extremely creepy smile on his face.
Suddenly with slow casual steps, Natsu stepped forward, all eyes were on him. Makarov's eyes had a curious glint in them.
Natsu stopped, his bangs covering his eyes as he gave an ominous aura that gave everyone shivers. Gray and Lucy were staring at him with wide eyes, they had never seen this before.
"You scum. Every time I eliminate one of your kind, another always step up. Your like a disease, spreading throughout the land and I am the cure. I'll slaughter you ALLLLLL...!" As Natsu's voice went to its more demonic tone, his body began to change, taking on its darker features.
The spectators all had their jaws dropped on the ground. The scene was unbelievable, even Makarov had his eyes open at the boys transformation. The amount of magic this boy contained at such a young age was absurd, he was almost as strong as Laxus (keep in mind Laxus can mop the floor with all the guild members if he fought all of them at the same time).
"Hellfire demons burning fist!" Natsu smashed and incredible fire enhanced fist to the demons head sending pieces of wood flying through the air.
"Hellfire demons rage!" He blew his flames at the demon and surveyed the damage. Lullaby wasnt doing well and everyone knew it. Natsu's hellfire was slowly burning him and his melody of death was through.
Ofcourse the demon refused to go down without a fight. With his life now reduced to minutes, Lullaby launched a barrage of attacks, each with the strenght to destroy an entire mountain.
With the fight drawing to its end and Lullaby literally moving on fumes Natsu decided to end it.
"Requip!" In a flash natsu was holding a massive blood red sword sword. "This sword was given to me by my father, the great hellfire demon Maloch. It was made to erase scum like you."
The demon, now panicking in fear started to prepare all of his power into one final attack. "It doesnt matter demon, your through." Natsu lifted the sword which exploded into dark red flames.
The mades present all began to sweat as the heat skyrocketed to insane levels. Lifting the sword Natsu chanted," I summon thee, flames that purge all evil and burn all darkness, I summon the hellfire flames that burn hotter that hell- Extinguish!" With a mighty swing, all the fire that was building up was released in wave of flames.
Next, everyone could hear the demon as he was slowly reduced to ash.
The spectators all looked on in fear as Natsu walked towards them, his step slightly shakey. That spell had cost alot of magic power to execute. So he does have his limits Makarov thought and then he saw it. His eyes turned white as he thought of his precious money being spent on repairs
The massive crater that the attack caused, that was when they realised...
"That damm mage destroyed out meetings hall, get them!" Erza had already grabbed the master and was high tailing it, the other members following quickly.
LATER AT THE GUILD...
Natsu had just returned with Erza from meeting with the magic council. They had been charged for the destruction back in Clover Town.
The guild immediately broke into a party at the return of the mages although many steered clear of Natsu. That is until everyone fell asleep.
Natsu was sitting in his corner with his beer when
the doors blew open. A masked wizard with an array of staves stormed in. His entire body was covered in a weird attire of material. This mage was mystogan and one of fairy tail's S-class wizards.
Despite the nature of his magic, he was a terrible opponent to be against and was down right terrifying with his spell counters.
With careful movements, the mysterious mage snatched a job request before leaving. His depature causing the lower ranking mages to awaken.
"Dammit, Mystogan came again."
"That jerk cant take a job request like normal person. What the hell man!"
"Jeez, who was that?" A curious Lucy questioned.
Gray was the one who answered her."That guy is Mystogan. He is contender for fairy tail's strongest wizard. He is another S-class mage like Natsu and Erza. For some reason he doesnt like people seeing his face so whenever he comes to the guild he uses his sleep magic to put everyone to sleep. Only Master Makarov has seen what he looks like."
"Thats not very true." At that voice, everyones attention was on the second floor where a blonde mage stood. He was very intimidating and had a lightning bolt scar on his right eye.
All the guild members eyes were the size of dinner plates. "First Mystogan, now Laxus. What the hell is going on Master? Including Natsu and Erza thats four of the strongest mages in the whole of Fiore gathered in one spot."
The master in question was extremely worried. This much powerful mages in one spot is never a good sign. What was laxus up to? Why was he even here? Was his thunder legion with him as well? Laxus is one of the rarest members in the entire quild and for his young age, stupidly overpowered with magic.
"What do you want Laxus?" The entire guild was tense as the master spoke.
"Why? I was just speaking to my nakama over here. Isnt that right Gray? And to put it simple, Natsu and I have also seen Mystogan when he comes. That kind of spell has little effect on powerful mages. Sadly you weaklings just fall like flies from a little sleep magic. Your PATHETIC! When i become Master, I will kick all of you weaklings out of the guild." His voice spoke of anger and hatred, many of the mages were tempted to attack him.
"ENOUGH, If you think of us as weaklings, fight me NOW! I will show you how weak we really are?" Erza was really angry with Laxus and someone needed to take him down a few notches.
Ofcourse Laxus would have none of this. "Hhaahaaa...thats rich Titania, you dont hold a candle to me because I am the strongest in this weakling guild. None of you can beat me." There was a challenge in that voice and it only added to the tension.
With impressive speed Erza launched a barrage of swords at Laxus who retaliated with a massive lightning bolt that repelled the incoming swords and blew away the surrounding mages.
Laxus smirk fell off his face when the smoke settled, standing in front of a wide eyed Erza was none other that Natsu Dragneel.
Laxus eyes narrowed. He didnt know much about Natsu. All he knew was that he used some kind of fire magic and was a powerful S-class since he could resist Mystogans sleep magic but now he was worried. This guy may be stronger than he looked. That was by no means a strong attack but it didnt even faze the fire mage.
Laxus saw the Master eyes widen with fear as he prepared to subdue him. This infuriated Laxus, Did the master think that this punk was stronger than him?
Luckily Natsu just looked at him before replying. "If we fought, it would destroy Magnolia and innocents would be harmed. But if you ever attack Erza again, I WILL CRUSH YOU." The members all stared at Natsu in fear. His tone of voice and the look in his eyes had everyone worried.
Even the master seemed uneasy and an infuriated Laxus was barely keeping back his rage at the pinkette. How dare he speak to me as an inferior? Im the strongest in this pathetic guild. I will definitely show him, all the these thoughts were going through Laxus' head at the moment.
Without another glance we grabbed Erza's hand and made for the exit. Makarov sighed inwardly as the combustible elements were finally away from each other.
THE NEXT DAY AT THE GUILD...
Natsu was on his way to the guild when he started having a bad feeling about something. His devil slayer abilities seemed fined tuned today and his enhance senses were picking up something.
He knew what this feeling was, something was going to happen, it was a feeling he always got before a serious battle for his life. This feeling again... Another demon? But where... Natsu was really worried. If there was a demon about this place, he was in for trouble.
It didnt take long to reach the guild. He immediately told Makarov of his feelings and noted how serious the master become.
"Master, Master... one of the S-class quests from upstairs is missing." The master screamed a weird "wahhhh" while spitting out the contents of his mouth.
"Who could possibly ste..."The master was immediately cut off.
"I saw something Master," The voice belonged to Laxus," I saw a little cat burglar sneaking around on the second floor last night. I think that ice mage put him to it." He had a sadistic smile as he looked at his grandfather's horror stricken face.
"Why didnt you stop him Laxus? If anthing happens, i will hold you accountable. I suggest you fetch them at once." Laxus held of his hands in defense as he chuckled darkly. "I got better things to do gramps." And he was gone in a flash of lightning.
"Dont worry master," A determined Erza spoke next," Natsu and i will retrieve him for punishment. If you dont mind me asking Master, what mission was taken?"
The master looked queationingly towards Mira who responded gloomily,"The mission on galuna island," causing Makarov to turn a shade paler.
"Alright, lets go Natsu." The two mages were heading out immediately when Makarov stopped then.
"Be careful Natsu. Im having a similar feeling." Gone was the care free expression, this Master was serious. With a small nod the duo was off...
