Chapter 30

Treasure Hunters

"Natsu I've got it!" Lucy yelled triumphantly hoisting the glowing necklace above her head.

Dodging to the left Natsu just made it out of the way as a tentacle swung past. The large water serpent he was facing off against hissed its fury and struck out again.

This time it aimed for Lucy.

The girl yelped and raised her arms to shield herself. In a flash Natsu had her by the waist dragging her out of the way. They skidded into a heap on the ruined temple floor.

"You alright?"

Lucy smiled shakily up at him.

"I'm fine thanks Natsu."
