"Hey, are you the strongest in the guild" the hanging Natsu asked me
"No, I'm not, Gildarts is" I replied with a smile
I remembered the fight he had with the Drakon that had almost equal amount of ethernano level as him but even then, with his skill level alone that guy managed to easily hold it back for an hour without any wounds or tiredness if you ignore the last suicidal attack of the Drakon.
"Yeah, but Karna is currently the top 5 of the strongest wizards of the guild" Grey said from the other side
I never thought about it before but among the current guild members I can say for sure that the only people that can defeat me in a battle are Master, Gildarts and Laxus but Ur was an S class wizard who was able to use runes as well. So even if her ethernano levels are less than what it was after the demon slaying, her magic had grown throughout these years and with her experience the chances of her beating me with her skills are high, but it will be a close call compared to me fighting the others
"well, you can say that I guess" I replied to them while knowing what's going to happen next
"then fight me, I wanna- "
"All right lets fight"
"eh" Natsu's eyes went wide hearing that I agreed so quickly
I then looked around with my head and used my aura to check whether Cana is anywhere nearby. Seeing she was not, and the guild being almost completely cleaned by now I quickly untied both of them and took them to the guild training grounds
The truth is I was told that this world was AU with stronger characters in it and since Ur never died and Gray continued his training, I am sure that he is stronger than he was in canon but even then he was having a close fight with Natsu meaning that Natsu is either stronger than in cannon because of the training he got from Igneel or that his potential is that much higher. So, I figured being in a fight will allow me to assess his capabilities
When we reached the training ground we stood on two sides and Gray decided to act as the referee of the match. Though the smirk on his face is saying that he was expecting a beatdown similar to what he got recently from me.
"I am the fire dragon slayer Natsu Dragneel son of fire dragon king Igneel" Natsu shouted out and both of his fists began to get covered in flames
The temperature is decent for his age, and I can see why Gray has difficulty against him.
From the anime we can see that even though the dragon slayers are far away from each other, the dragons inside them are able to communicate with each other as well as see what the dragon slayers other than theirs were doing
Since I had decided to make this world a more happier place, saving their lives in some way is also my target and for that purpose I need to communicate with them while they are inside their Dragon slayers and till the time I get my magic control good enough to communicate with them without hurting the dragon slayers
"so, you are the son of the fire dragon king huh"
I must make an impression that I am a person they must give attention to if they are planning on defeating Acnalogia without fail
"I am Karna Vermillion, the last heir of the Vermillion line and"
My fist started to glow with my slayer magic. Before I had not awakened the element of my slayer magic but during the explosion when I activated Drakon force at full power my element was unlocked though I only found out about it after waking up in the hospital
"the world's only Arcane Drakon Slayer" I declared with a grin
Inside the soul world where the dragons are
"that aura"
"you heard what the kid just said now right Igneel"
"is that kid having a Drakon slayer seed or something"
"No chance at all, unlike dragons who are varied in their behaviour, all Drakons hated humans"
"and Zeref said that even he can't create an equation for a Lacrima because of their characteristics"
"then what does-"
"SILENCE"
Igneel suddenly shouted out silencing everyone from continuing their bickering
"We will make conclusions after finding out what it is
Grandine, I will give you permission to access Natsu's body. While the child is testing Natsu's strength I need you to use your magic to scan his body and find how he is able to give out this aura and all its effects
We will deal with it after getting all the information" Igneel ordered
Grandine decided to use her magic and scan Karna's body
At that time outside Natsu was constantly attacking Karna with basic slayer techniques that he can use, and Karna was countering it with Magic of about the same level. He always made sure to use only use the same amount that Natsu is using for attacking so both their attacks were cancelling each other out without harming anyone.
But the more it happened, the more Natsu became frustrated and started burning more magic in each attack while heavily using up his stamina.
"Idiot" Igneel muttered while seeing this
At that time Grandine finished her scan
"interesting"
