Chapter 5 (1/2)

”Now that pleasantries are done, let us go to a much serious matter.”

Natsu gulped, totally caught off guard by the sudden change of the King's atmosphere.

'Looks like this job, is much more serious than I thought.' Natsu thought as he also turned serious.

”Have you heard of the news, about a gigantic beast that is terrorizing the towns, at the corner of Fiore? As of now, it already destroyed five towns, tens of thousands of civilians died, along with dozens of mages including S-class.”

Natsu clenched his fist tightly, hearing the numbers of casualties just from a single beast.

At the same time, he starts to doubt whether he can accomplish this mission or not, after all even S-class mages couldn't stop the beast and died instead.

Toma, of course, noticed his doubts, causing him to smile as he said, ”You don't have to worry, the reason why I called you specifically, is because the beast uses fire and earth magic.”

Natsu calmed down hearing that, at least he will be able to fight the beast, thinking up to this, his fighting spirit ignites and he couldn't wait to fight the beast!

”Natsu, on behalf of all citizens of Fiore, this King humbly ask you, will you accept this dangerous job?”

Natsu grinned as he bumped his flaming fist with his palm as he replied, ”Don't worry old man, in the name of Fairy Tail, I will stop that beast before it causes anymore casualties! Hehe~! I'M ALL FIRED UP!”

”Aye!”

Toma just smiled and muttered a 'Thank you' while Hisui just glance at Natsu and the fire on his hands with interest.

Meanwhile, on a very hot place filled with volcanoes, fires, and magmas, a large red-scaled western dragon can be seen.

It has a horn on its snout and a scar on its eye, it was simply sleeping there, every breath it exhales is hot enough to burn an ordinary himan with a single contact.

Suddenly, as if it felt something, the dragon woke up and look up at the sky with a 'frown'.

”So the Titans have awoken, it means Leviathans did too, only the dragons are left. I guess history will repeat itself, but this time, the dragons will not be participating. I just hope that the rest are powerful enough to at least defend themselves.”
