chapter 33 enjoy
Happy is taking a short break on the river shore. He kneels down to get a drink of water when he hears a loud knocking noise.
"What in earthland could that be?"
He follows the noise to a couple of rocks on the shore in ankle-deep water.
He sees a black box being rocked back and forth a bit from a whirlpool formed from water hitting the rocks.
He carefully picks up the box to see a line on it. Then, he pulls open the box revealing Ultear's choker.
In a flash, Ur suddenly appears, causing Happy to drop the box.
Fortunately, he isn't huge, so no harm is done to the soul lacrima.
"Ur what are, how did you get separated from Ultear?"
"Those monsters figured out. I informed Natsu and Lucian of the base location and separated us!"
"What about Ultear? What happened to her?"
"Apparently, she is being used as a sacrifice to reinvigorate an ancient demon," she informed, only to get a chuckle from Happy.
"What's so funny, Happy?" she said with a glare.
"I almost feel bad for them when they run into Natsu!" he said with a grin, getting a giggle from Ur.
"Completely forgot about that."
"So, what are you doing?"
"Providing recon for Natsu, wanna join?"
"Sure!" Happy put the choker on, hugging his neck like Ultear and flying off.
Lucian got back on his feet, getting his wits together after falling. Who knows how far.
Looking around, he realizes he is in a pit. Then, looking to his feet, he finds a grizzly sight.
Skeleton of various creatures. Some demons, others animals, and humans.
"Just great, I ended up in their garbage dump!" He says with a sigh as he slowly walks through all the crap at his feet.
It only took him a minute to get out of the skeleton pile. Then, looking forward, he sees a dimly lit hallway.
As soon as he crosses the hallway corner, he stands at the entrance of a significant room housing countless demons.
Everyone looks at the noise they hear to see Lucian standing before them.
"Fuck me!" He says with another sigh as all the demons get into a fighting stance. "Alright, demon assholes, who's first" using his right hand, he waved his index and middle finger taunting them.
He glances to his side to see a medium-sized demon coming in fast with his fist at the ready.
With a smile and shadow-infused fist, he meets his attack head-on. The two fists clashed, releasing a small shockwave.
The demon screams in pain as blood oozes all over his closed fist without warning.
Lucian smirked at this, throwing another shadow-infused fist across the demon's face sending him flying into a wall.
He stairs the remaining demons down. "Hmm, who's next?" He said with a grin.
After being separated from Lucian, Natsu is suddenly tackled by a flying demon.
The demon looked like the reptilian demons from before, but this one has wings on his back.
He smashes Natsu through a window high in the sky with his wings spread out.
He has a hard time gripping Natsu since he is doing his best to break free.
Natsu manages to break free from the demon's grip. He sees the two are high in the sky.
He falls out of the sky like a stone. But, being a fire dragon slayer, he uses flames to slow his descent.
He lands not far from the base in a courtyard, which he can only assume.
Closer inspection reveals it's a rock garden if the gravel and Boulder around him are anything to go off of.
The demon lands before him with his wings close, hugging his backside.
"So you're the wizard sent to stop us with that devil slayer!"
"Yeah, what of it?" He says, getting into a fighting stance.
"You should know Lucian's bad company being a devil slayer."
"I guess that's true…if you're a demon," he said with a smirk. Causing the demon to growl in annoyance.
"Tell me something, why did you kidnap my wife!"
"So the female is your wife. I guess that explains why we needed her."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Natsu's gaze hardened.
"I suppose I can tell you, it won't matter anyway. We need a human female to use her creative energy to restore the strongest of us!" Didn't take a genius to know what the demon meant by creative energy.
This information further steeled his resolve to win, his dragon side screaming at him to protect her.
"Hmm, I think we've held off the Inevitable long enough!"
"I suppose you're right on that one." He said, getting into his own fighting stance.
The two suddenly charged at full speed towards one another.
"FIRE DRAGON FIST!" His fist becomes engulfed in flames meeting the demon fist dead in.
A slight shock wave is released from the force of their fist.
They back away from the other, not taking their eyes off the other.
The demon held out his arm, grabbing his wrist with his other hand.
He starts chanting some strange words, then a blue glow is seen before taking the form of a double edge sword.
"What is that?" Natsu asked. He didn't get an answer. Instead, the demon charged at him with speed rivaling his own.
"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!'" He unleashes a torrent of flames only for the demon to slice it down the middle splitting it in two.
Natsu barely managed to dodge the attack. He adopted a slightly scared expression.
"Hehe, this sword can slice through other people's magic like a hot knife through butter!" He twirls the sword around in a circle before getting it at the ready.
Natsu activates his requip magic pulling out his dagger only to unsheathe it.
The blade glows a red as he gets into a fighting stance.
"Hmm, you think that little thing can stop my blade!"
"Think, I know it can!" They charge at each other once.
The two blades clash with each other, neither giving into the others. This display unnerved the demon.
"How is this possible? My blade should easily be able to cut the blade In two!"
"A regular blade, sure, but this one is specially made for my fire magic." The two back away from each other again.
Natsu channeled some of his curse power into his blade, he was tempted to use his azure flames, but it was too risky.
They charge at one another, blocking the other. Natsu had a slight grin sensing his curse powers slowly eat away at the magic blade.
They charge and counter-block each other again and again.
While Natsu isn't fazed in the slightest, the demon, on the other hand, is starting to get sluggish.
And looking at his magic blade reveals tiny cracks in it. Natsu struggled to hide his grin, knowing his enemy's blade was on its last leg.
The two charged each other for the last time.
Their blades clash once again, unlike all the times before the demon blade shatters when they make contact.
Natsu blade hit his neck before the demons had time to think, his head is sliced clean off.
His head is sent flying while his body drops to the ground. Natsu walks over the demon head then glances toward the body.
"Wish it didn't have to come to this but has nobody to blame but himself" He puts his blade away, heading inside.
As soon as he steps through the doorway, he feels the presence of something watching him.
"Who's there? I know you're there!" He said, putting his guard up.
"Calm yourself, human. I mean, you know harm."
A giant demon stands before him out of the shadows, putting the slayer on edge.
"Why should I believe you after dealing with another of your kind!"
"Jenkins was always too confident for his own good. I told him it would be the death of him one day!"
"Jenkins? So that's his name. Shit, my wife!" He didn't let down his guard in the slightest.
"Your wife is safe. The ritual won't start for a little bit ."
"That just means I have to find her immediately!"
"Calm down, boy, if my reading of the wind is correct, nothing bad will happen to her."
Calming himself with a deep inhale and then exhale, "are you offering me help?"
"Yes."
"Why would you help me?"
"I've lived a long time, so long I've seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations. Same for Oberth, the demon the others are wanting to restore."
"What does that have to do with any of this?"
"It doesn't. I've just been wanting to say that for some time." Natsu floor's himself at this.
"Again, why would you help me?"
"Those fools are stuck in the past, unable to move forward in life. You might prove useful in making them see it."
"Ok" is his simple response, making the demon floor himself as well. "I never got your name?"
"It's Slaldir and yours?"
"Natsu, Natsu Dragneel"
"Dragneel! Are you by any chance related to Zeref Dragneel?"
"Yes, he's my older brother. Come on, we're wasting time!" He says, heading deeper into the base. Slaldir lets out a sigh before catching up to the boy.
Lucian casually walks over the beaten and dead forms of a demon from the first room.
"That fight was harder than I thought, but it's a good way to gauge how far my magic has come," he says aloud as he leaves the room.
He suddenly collapsed to a knee gripping his head as a massive headache.
"Damn, I was afraid this would happen." Then his godsend mark started throbbing. As a result, his headache began to fade.
As soon as he walks into another room. He's greeted by a giant demon who looks hearing his footsteps. They lock eyes before the demon's gaze hardens.
"Just my luck," he says with a sigh getting into a fighting stance.
"SHADOW DEVIL RAGE!" He unleashes a beam of purple shadows bathing the demon. The demon cries in pain from the attack.
The demon counters with his massive hand, slamming Lucian against the wall getting a chuckle from the demon.
Lucian hit the wall with enough force to leave a creator in his place.
He frees himself from its confines, shaking the dust off him.
"Damn, this one's going to be harder than I thought."
"SHADOW DEVIL CALAMITY FIST!" A magic circle forms at the end of his hand, releasing a giant fist made of shadow.
It hits the demon with enough force to smack him against the wall. A few cracks are formed from the impact.
The demon just snorted and got back on his feet. He put his hand together, gathering magic.
The magic formed a ball steadily growing until it reached a basketball's height.
The spell is black in color, sending a shiver down Lucian's spine.
"DARK VOID!" The spell in hand expanded in size to cover both Lucian and the demon.
When Lucian finally got his wits together, he couldn't see or hear anything, not even his own body.
"Just great!" He says with a sigh. "Ahh," he screams, feeling a pain in his side.
He puts his hand to it and feels a warm liquid. He can't see it, but he knows it's his blood.
"Hehe," the demon taunts him with his voice.
"Great can't see a thing, and I got this guy laughing at me!" He says with a sigh, trying to think of a way out of this.
"Try all you want there, no escaping this spell except through your death!"
"That's where you are wrong!" But then, a single spell came to mind to turn the table in his favor.
"SHADOW DEVIL SLAYER SECRET ART'S SHADOW ABYSS!" He concentrates devil slayer magic in his hand before throwing it above his head.
Moments later, the darkness blinding his senses is ripped apart.
He looks above to see the ball of devil slayer magic have several tendrils latch onto the demon.
He struggles to break free, but he screams in pain every time he claws at the tendrils.
He claws at the ground, trying to stop himself from being dragged in. It was in vain, though, as loses grip on the floor.
He's finally pulled into the purple orb of devil slayer magic, less than a minute later, he falls out as the orb Dissipate.
Lying in the ground before The devil slayer is the demon's heavily beaten and bruised body, giving him trouble.
"Another one bites the dust!" He leaves the room hoping to either find Ultear or run into Natsu.
Slaldir advised Natsu to deal with the weaker demon before the big one to make the job easier on him.
Natsu has a demon pinned against a wall with his forearm, and his fury fist held close to his face.
"Slaldir, you traitor!" He hissed, glaring daggers at the demon.
"Calling me traitor! He walked up to his kin, staring him in the eyes. "The rest of you are worthless clinging to the past, failing to see the changing world."
"This isn't the old world where demons cling to the shadows and humans stay near the fire. Demon and living human side by side as equals if the coastal city is anything to go by!" Natsu added
"Humans are just pretending to wait for us to let our guard down then turn on us, Slaldir!" He spits in Natsu's face.
Natsu twitched before bringing his hand back. Slaldir stepped back, knowing the outcome.
Natsu swung his fist forward with enough force to not only kill the demon but leave a creator in the wall.
"Sorry, it had to come to this Slaldier."
"Has no one to blame but himself," Natsu followed his league, running into a demon after demon.
Unfortunately, most were like the first one they failed to persuade, either ending up dead or scared to the point they couldn't move.
A few begrudgingly agreed with Slaldir's reasoning. They headed to the village Natsu and the others stopped by to start over.
"I think that's as many as we're going to change, I'd love to stay, but someone needs to make sure they behave themselves."
"Goodbye, Slaldir!" Natsu holds his hand out, only for the demon to take it, shaking his hand firmly.
"When this is all over, make sure to stop by" with those words, he left the base.
After enough running, Lucian met up with Happy when he reached a door seeing the exceed passing by.
"Happy, have you seen Natsu?"
"No, but I did find Ur!" he lands on his shoulder only for Ur to make herself known.
"The demon separated me from her and tossed the choker out the window. Lucky for me, Happy found me!"
"Well, that's good. I can only imagine what Ultear is gonna do to the demon. Assuming there's any left after Natsu showed them the error of their ways," this gets a chuckle from the three of them.
"If that the case, best you stay with us, Lucian," Happy said
"Agreed," he said with a shiver at what was going through Natsu's head right now.
Ultear can only shake her head at all the commotion in her room.
"That idiot! But he's my idiot husband," she said with a faint smile.
Then she hears the unmistakable sound when a thought projection is sent.
Looking to the door, she sees the same weak demon from before.
Then it's a firm shift to a presumed younger, more agile form.
"What do you want?" She spat
"I'm not your enemy."
"I find that very hard to believe since your Lackies want to use me to restore your power!"
He walks, overusing his strength to increase the thought projection's power, pulling the robe off Ultear.
He places his hand with the swirl mark on her lower belly. He taps it, the patterns start to glow before coming off her body.
They form into a small ball in the demon's hands before disappearing completely.
"Put the robe on. You don't want the others to see the markings are gone now, do you!" He said with a grin.
Ultear glares at him, putting her robe back on.
"Why help me?"
"Hmm, I've lived long enough in this world. But, unfortunately, the others don't see it that way. I've tried to tell them for a long time, but they never believed me. They are too stuck in their past to go forward with the rest of the world." Ultear nods in agreement.
"We'll thank you!"
"You're welcome. Unfortunately, that's all I can do for you!" He said before disappearing.
Ultear let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Knowing the demon, she was being used to strengthen wants no part of it calming her nerves.
Then she hears a thunderous noise from the other side of the door. She deduced it was Natsu. He finally found her.
Natsu now stands in the ritual room with a massive demon staring him down.
The demon pulls his hand back from the lever seeing a small fireball where his hand was.
"That trick with the floor isn't going to work a second!" The demon grunts at this. "my name is Natsu, what is yours."
"The names Lughul human, pray you to win. Hehe, if you fail. I'll make you watch as I extract the creative energy out of your wife!" Natsu's gaze hardens.
Natsu gets into a fighting stance, mirroring him preparing the demon to make the first move.
The two charge at one another, each throwing a magic-infused fist.
The two attacks cancel each other out, much to their frustration, before jumping back.
They go at it again and again, trading blow for blow.
It wasn't long before Natsu noticed the demon was getting sluggish.
"Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this," the demon spat before chanting strange words.
Then Streams of light are seen coming out of the walls converging on Lughul. he let out a sinister laugh.
"I should be thanking you for eliminating the others. Now their power will be mine!" all his muscles started bulging. He also grew in size, now taller, putting Natsu on edge.
He swings his fist against a wall shattering the rock behind him. "Your luck just ran out, slayer!"
"Shit!"
What started out as an even playing field quickly shifted into Lughul's favor.
Not only was he stronger but faster as well, almost too fast for him to track.
Seeing the beating his host is taking, E.N.D had enough.
"Come on, you can take this guy on no problem. You can use my power to do it!"
"No, I won't resort to that!"
"It will be easy, one hit from my power, and he'll be begging for mercy!"
"NO!"
"Fine, be that way,"
Natsu, unfortunately, took another of Lughul punches, sending him flying against the wall, leaving several large cracks.
"Is that the best you can do, slayer? Ha, I knew you were weak, and yet you call yourself a Prince!"
Natsu picks himself up and wipes all the dust off before glaring Lughul dead in the eyes.
"Do you want to know how I got the name Flame prince!" He takes his jacket off, tossing it to the ground.
"I'll bite. Why are you called the Flame prince."
"First and foremost, the dragon who taught me my magic is Igneel, the fire dragon king." Fire erupted from his body, covering it completely.
The fire started to compress down on him, then hugged his body. As the flames compressed further and further, the light from it got brighter and brighter.
Then the light suddenly intensified several times. When the light finally died, Lughul looked to Natsu only for a shiver to run down his spine.
Natsu's skin no longer tan is now a red-yellow color highlighting his build.
Then his eyes open, exposing his eyes. They are straight yellow.
"I'm called flame prince because of this spell, compressing my flames to the point they solidified on my skin. But, that is not all. It also serves as both defense and offense!" He demonstrated picking up a piece of wood only to burst into flames coming in contact with his skin.
"What do you call this spell?" Lughul managed to say.
"This is my flame armor. Now let's finish this fight!" Natsu doesn't give him a chance before bolting towards the Lughul, nailing him right in the gut.
He sends him flying against the opposite wall to his own. He cracks a smile seeing burn marks where his fist landed.
He didn't give him a chance to get back up. Instead, he went in again, landing blow after blow.
He ends his assault with an uppercut sending straight into the ceiling. He landed with this, revealing to Natsu his lifeless eyes.
He undoes his flames armor, after searching his body, he finds a key ring.
He goes from room to room looking for Ultear after the fifth room stands at room number six.
And shift through the keyring, looking for the right one.
"Yes, got in" he carefully opens the door to see Ultear standing before him.
He runs over, bringing her into his arms before letting go.
He takes a deep I hale before his eyes shoot wide open from the intoxicating scent running across his nose.
His mate is in heat. A glance toward his mate reveals her biting her lip, matching his gaze.
It takes all his will not to pounce right there.
But Ultear has other plans. She glances at the lone bed in the room before going back to him.
He throws her the keyring, she takes off the chain and cuffs binding her.
She carefully circles around the door, closing and locking it behind her.
This whole time Natsu is tracking her, trying his best to keep his urge in check.
She sexily lets the robe drop off, walking to the bed with a sway of her hips before facing him.
"Ravish me!" Was all he needed before he succumbed to his desires
Morning
Ultear is the first to wake, but her eyes refuse to open.
That's when she felt a great weight on her. She opened them to see her husband Natsu lying on top of her.
It was then she realized they were naked on top of the fact her legs were still wrapped around his waist.
On top of that he's still inside her, she moaned from a random twitch of her body thanks to his member.
That was when she felt the warm sticky substance at the entrance of her womb.
Then it hit her, realizing she was in heat when they fucked well into the night. She silently prayed for that to happen.
Natsu finally stirred awake before realizing what happened last night.
He locks eyes with Ultear, who kisses him. The kiss quickly turns heated before Natsu's body bucked, getting a moan from his wife.
Ultear legs tightened around his waist before Natsu reluctantly stopped.
"We should meet up with the others" he tries to pull away, but Ultear Isn't having any of it, tightening her hold.
"Just a little longer," she whined.
"Fine," he said in defeat before his body tightened, holding her close to him.
