Natsu's declaration angered Sting and Rogue as they said he was looking down on them. They activate Dragon Force again and Sting stated that nothing in the world exceeds Dragon Force as it is the power of real dragons.
Ben scoffed after hearing that assertion. "If nothing in the world exceeds that, they would be Wizard Saints now. At the very least, one of them should be Sabertooth's guild master. Also, if something like that can be called the power of real dragons, then humans wouldn't be so afraid of dragons in the past. Well, maybe they have a real dragon power, even if they are still babies, they're still dragons nonetheless. I can defeat this baby dragon without using my Dragon Slayer Magic."
The Fairies sweat drop at Ben's protest to Sting's remark. They knew that Ben was very sensitive when it comes to power so hearing Sting's claim that he had a real dragon's power was enough to piss him off.
Even with all his achievements, Ben didn't dare say he was on the same level as dragons. These two brats thought had wet dreams would dare to make such claims just because they can use Dragon Force at will with the help of dragon lacrima.
They ignore Ben and resume watching the battle. Sting rushed at Natsu and threw a strong punch. Natsu caught it with his bare hand though. Natsu then proceeded to punch Sting in the face before looking back as Rogue had moved behind him.
Rogue fired Shadow Dragon Roar at Natsu, which was overpowered by Fire Dragon Roar. The two then attack again and it turned into close combat. Natsu still dominated the fight and the Twin Dragons weren't able to land a hit on him.
Sometime later, Sting and Rogue stand side-by-side and create a pair of big magic spheres behind them. The experienced mages can feel the change of magic power in the stadium because of their spells. Ben was excited when the two spells start to merge.
"Unison Raid?! Now that's interesting." Ben said excited.
"They are really in sync, huh? Unison Raid is very difficult to pull off. Most mages can't even master it during their lifetimes." Makarov stated.
"Yeah, that's a hard thing for two people to do. It's easier for a single person to pull it off." Ben nodded.
"You say it as if Unison Raid can be performed by a single person." Makarov noted.
"Well, it's not that hard because they can control the two spells' power perfectly if they do it alone." Ben said as if it was obvious.
Makarov then became silent.
"Can you do it by yourself?" Mavis asked.
"Yeah, but I don't really see the benefit of it, so I never use it in battle. It took too long for it to activate. I'd prefer to use fast spells." Ben answered.
"Can you show it to me?" Mavis asked with sparkling eyes.
"Maybe later. The battle isn't over yet." Ben said.
"Ah, that's right." Mavis' attention focused on the battle again.
Between Sting and Rogue's hands, there is a small gold rainbow sphere. Then they aim it at Natsu and a massive beam came out of it. The beam is black and white in color as it's a combination of Holy and Shadow elements.
"Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang!" Sting and Rogue shout the name of their combined spell.
Ben cringed after hearing that name. "Ugh! Such a cringe name."
Natsu didn't move and waited for the attack to come. He intended to face it head on and lowered his body while placing his hands on his right side. Then he covered his arms in fire and released it in a spiral motion.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art! Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"
Natsu's spiral fire hit the Holy Shadow beam and destroyed it. Then it moved towards Sting and Rogue, hitting them directly. A strong impact was created by that attack and even the lacrima vision was briefly deactivated.
"It's done." Ben smirked.
"It is? Who won?" Cana asked.
Ben didn't need to answer as the lacrima vision turned back on. It showed Sting and Rogue falling to the ground. Natsu stood there firmly and then celebrated his victory after the referee ends the match.
Ben grins and looked at the scoreboard that had changed again.
Fairy Tail B: 78 points
Fairy Tail A: 63 points
Blue Pegasus: 38 points
Mermaid Heel: 37 points
Sabertooth: 30 points
Lamia Scale: 28 points
Scarmiglione: 14 points
Quatro Cerberus: 10 points
Both Fairy Tail teams now had a overwhelming lead on the scoreboard. Even Blue Pegasus who was in 3rd place needed only 25 points to match Fairy Tail A's score. Without a miracle on the 5th day, it would be impossible for other teams to chase those scores.
Ben suddenly sensed a small burst of magic power. It came from Jiemma. The old guy seemed to be very angry and Ben smirked after seeing it. This tournament wasn't over yet, so Jiemma will be a lot angrier tomorrow.
He ignored the old man when Chapati Lola announced that everyone will take a break tomorrow. The 5th will take place the day after tomorrow. All the teams can prepare for the last event and rest after competing nonstop for 4 days.
Chapati Lola also announced the last day's event immediately. It will be a survival game that involves every member of the team. So it will be a battle royal, obviously with some rules that haven't been explained.
"An all-out war, huh? Interesting. That means that we will face other, team A. He he, you better come to me or I'll come to you." Ben grinned.
The team A members shiver when they hear that and immediately decide not to face him. They knew how powerful he was and how much he likes to battle. Fighting him will just be a waste of time in this competition because they won't win anyway.
Ben was disappointed by their reactions and decide to leave the stadium. He went to the infirmary where his wife and children are. Bella jumps on his shoulder to join him because there's nothing else to watch here.
In the infirmary, Ben found his kids playing tag in Lucy's room. No one even bothered to tell them to stop playing in a infirmary. Ben looked at them and guessed from their expressions that they had given up on doing that. He knew just how stubborn the kids are when they play.
"Alright kids, it's time to stop." Ben said, but they still run around.
He sighed and used his Gravity Magic to pull them towards him. They fly towards Ben and he caught their legs, so they are hanging upside down now. Then they look at their father's rather angry face and immediately stop moving.
"Good, now behave and remain silent in the infirmary or I'll confiscate your toys for a week." Ben said.
The twins nod fearfully as they remember that Ben did confiscate their toys 3 months ago when they didn't listen to him. Those 3 days felt so long, yet now he will take their toys for a week. Naturally, they didn't want that to happen, so they listened to him and behaved.
Ben put them down and now they play quietly on the side. The others sigh in relief because now they can finally get some peace. Now the adults can finally talk without the children disturbing them. They ask Ben about the game, so he briefly explained it.
"So we are free tomorrow?" Laxus asked.
"Yeah, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't cause problems." Ben nodded.
"You talk as if I'll cause problems." Laxus replied, slightly offended.
"Well, I don't believe that no one in this guild won't cause problems." Ben added.
Laxus can't say anything else and just sat there quietly. They remain in the infirmary as if it's a place to hang out. Then their guild mates also come and Gajeel joined them after no one had seen him for hours.
"Oh Gajeel, have you been mining some stone?" Ben jokingly asked.
Everyone else laughed along with Natsu.
"Let's put that on the back burner for now." Kenshin suddenly stated.
He took note of Gajeel's expression.
"Do you have something you wish to discuss with us Gajeel?" He asked.
"I do." Gajeel nodded. "I found something that will interest us Dragon Slayers."
