"You.... Are you even human?!!"
Smirking and choosing to not answer, Natsu flew down towards Nozomi.
With Esmeralda's mana surrounding him, as long as she was close to him, Natsu could control it and fly as he pleased.
Ignoring the dying Izuki who was gasping for air, Natsu didn't even let his feet touch the pool of blood and stopped less than an inch away for Nozomi.
Flinching from fear of what would happen, Nozomi tried to move back when Natsu stopped her by using his hands.
Feeling a man's hands on her body for the first time ever, despite how serious and bad the situation was for her, Nozomi couldn't help but blush a little.
"Are you scared?"
Perplexed at the question, while Natsu's face looked like he was playing around, Nozomi shook her head and said, "No."
"No? What about now?"
Pulling Nozomi closer to him by the waist, Natsu's face was now almost touching her face.
".... No."
Chuckling a little and grinning, Natsu didn't move even closer like Nozomi was afraid of.
Instead, he pulled her up by the waist and began carrying her.
Jumping off the floor and continuing to fly with Esmeralda's mana, Natsu didn't forget about the half-dead Izuki.
Holding onto Nozomi with one hand, Natsu summoned one of the two Elemental Guns with his free hand and shot straight towards his head.
"No!!!!!"
Frowning at how Nozomi reacted, Natsu ignored the notifications and asked her, "What is with that scream? Do you care for him?"
This was the first time that Nozomi saw any expression other than impatience and frivolousness in Natsu's face. And that cold expression scared her so much, that Nozomi's blood turned too cold to even try and move.
".... No... "
Hearing the answer, Natsu's face went back to same the frivolous one as he laughed and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Nozomi sighed and tried her best to not look towards Izuki's dead body.
After all, even though she didn't care for him, she would definitely react from seeing a dead human.
As for Natsu, he started reading the various notifications he received when he killed Izuki.
[Killed Haven Lord Izuki Takeda]
[Cannot conquer the Haven and turn it into a Dungeon, or destroy it currently]
[Obtained 5,000,000 DP as compensation]
Reading those notifications, Natsu who was already told about what would happen by Rias wasn't too surprised.
According to her, it hadn't been too long since the Earth started evolving and to maintain a proper balance and equality, Dungeon Masters couldn't conquer any Havens.
Though they could kill the Haven Lords, the DH System would either grant the opportunity of becoming a Haven Lord to another human.
Or create an Angel to take over it.
Either way, Natsu wouldn't be able to continue attacking the Haven anymore because it would go into protection period for the next whole month.
And during this period, regardless of how strong they were, no one could launch an attack against the Haven which was enjoying the protection period.
Flying up with the reluctant but silent Nozomi, and the other two women, Natsu once again appeared on the big screen making his fame further increase.
If that was possible.
The big screen was just what those on Earth considered the global announcements as.
[Dungeon Master Natsu is the first one to kill a Haven Lord!]
[Dungeon Master Natsu has been given one Grand Lucky Draw for his achievement!]
After reading those notifications, Natsu no longer stayed in the air above the Haven and started to fly back towards his Dungeon while holding Nozomi who surprisingly didn't move or say much the whole time.
...
Once Natsu left, everyone inside the Unyielding Haven was struck with fear on what to do since their Haven Lord had just been killed.
And soon they were about to descend into fear and panic, when every one of them received a notification about the Haven going into a special period of protection during which the Haven couldn't be attacked by anyone from the outside.
Furthermore, the next Haven Master had also been chosen within the next hour.
It wasn't one of the residents who was chosen to be the next Haven Lord, but an Angel had been created by the DH System and given authority over the Haven.
Unfortunately, it would take around twenty-four hours to create the Angel, due to which there was no way to guarantee on what would happen inside the Haven until then.
As for the rest of the world, those who didn't believe Izuki's live stream which claimed that Natsu was in front of him, started checking out to see the saved video.
After all, it would be quite weird if the live stream by a Haven Lord seeing Natsu turned out fake when a Haven Lord just died not too long after it.
As expected once everyone saw Natsu through the dead Izuki's video, everyone forgot about the one who died and focussed on the infamous Natsu.
It didn't take long for Natsu's name to stand trending worldwide, with various discussions on him.
Some were talking about how handsome he looked.
The others were saying that he wasn't even human for attacking a Haven and killing its Haven Lord.
Like this, regardless of what the topic was, Natsu's name and image kept on popping up everywhere.
In this way, with just a single appearance Natsu caused the whole world to talk about him nonstop.
