The walking dragon son

Ciel rarely identifies with Ignia, as they are indeed both the successors of Igneel.

The only difference is that Ignia inherited the bloodline of Igner, while the most important thing that Ciel inherited was not the dragon-slaying magic, but the will.

Magic... it is a real force that can be observed and measured. Strictly speaking, natural magic is no different from other natural energies such as electricity, fire, and wind.

But magic is special in some ways. Other natural energies transform according to natural laws, and magicians can only manipulate them but not change their essence. But magic is different.

From the beginning to the end, Ciel knew one fact: magic is not only natural energy, but also power from the heart.

With the same amount of magic power, a wizard with a strong will can exert ten or even a hundred times the power.

The wills of different people are also different. Ignia also has his own will, which is to pursue the strongest power.

This extremely pure will also gave him unparalleled power. In comparison, Jellal was far behind in this respect.

He had long lost his life goals and was full of self-destructive thoughts. How could he have any willpower? If it weren't for the immortality brought by the curse of the gods, he would definitely be the first to leave.

Of course, Charles' will is different from Ignia's. He doesn't want to lose the people around him, doesn't want to see regrets happen, and doesn't want to lose anything precious, so he has to fight!

After waking up from his high, Charles became calm, and the overwhelming aura and flames on his body also subsided.

But Ciel's change made Ignia unhappy.

Dragons are creatures with aloofness etched into their bones, and Ignia is particularly arrogant.

Ciel is one of the few people he is willing to consider as an opponent, not only because of his strength, but also because of the connection created by Igneel and Acnologia.

The aura that Charles had just released stimulated Ignia's own fighting spirit to burn like never before.

That feeling made Ignia extremely excited, but then Ciel calmed down. The feeling of being neither up nor down drove Ignia crazy.

"Hey! Ciel, what are you doing? We are fighting!"

Jellal also looked at Charles. He seemed to sense something, and there was an inexplicable light in his dead eyes, but at the same time, the ominous aura surging from his body became stronger.

Ciel smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. And I want to remind you that I am stronger now than before. I should say that I am the strongest now!"

Ignia showed a ferocious smile and said angrily: "Then prove it to me!"

As he spoke, he spread his dragon wings wide, and visible red magic light lit up on his body.

"The Flame Dragon's... Roar!"

In order to verify Ciel's words, Ignia used all his strength. Ignia spewed out a flame powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas, as if he wanted to burn the world into nothingness.

Ciel also obtained Ignia's Flame of Destruction, but only Ignia himself can unleash the true power of this flame.

Jellal also released his own magic power, blocking the torrent of flames like a dam, while Charles on the other side simply raised his palm and released his own flames as well.

The flames of the two were completely incomparable in scale, but Ciel's flame was like a reef that stood firm under the impact of Ignia's flame.

The conflicting magic power accumulated to a certain level and then exploded, but the three people who caused all this rushed into the center of the elemental storm at the same time.

When Ciel saw Jeref wrapped in black magic, he didn't show any politeness and just clenched his fist and hit him.

"The Mystery of Dragon Slayer: Flame Dragon Demon-Severing Blade!"

Charles raised his palm blade and chopped it down vertically. The thin line of fire directly cut through the black magic.

A piece of torn white silk robe fell from under Jellal's body as he dodged. Ciel's attack concentrated the firepower on a single line, and the heat didn't even spread out to ignite the silk robe.

Even Jellal was shocked at Ciel's delicate manipulation of fire.

The dragon wings behind Charles flapped, creating a sonic boom and then flew up, avoiding the dragon claws that stretched out from the flames.

Then Ignia's entire body emerged from the flames and chased straight after Charles.

Charles looked down at Ignia who was chasing him, and after flicking his tail he actually went forward to meet him.

Ignia was happy to fight head-on. Countless red spots lit up beside his wings, and then he shot extremely hot beams of light at Charles.

Being shot at by these flames that were condensed to the extreme, Charles did not dodge or evade, but a layer of flames burned around his body.

The beam of light fell on the layer of flames, just like rain falling into the sea, causing only a layer of ripples and no other reaction.

Although it is only a thin layer of flame, it is the magic secret that Charles has sublimated to the final stage. Even Ignia's Flame of Destruction can only be dissipated and swallowed by it.

Facing Ignia's attack, Charles approached him, then spun around and used the force to kick Ignia in the head.

The flames fell with the domineering black and red electric light, and Ignia did not admit defeat and released his strongest firepower.

But the collision lasted only three seconds, and Ignia's flames began to dissipate, and Charles kicked Ignia's head off.

"How is that possible? My flames cannot lose to yours!"

Listening to the roar of the falling Ignia, Ciel simply narrowed his eyes.

"This is the flame that I created by inheriting the true power of Igneel. If you don't understand the power of this flame, you can't defeat me!"

After saying that, Ciel also moved, flying backwards to avoid the dark magic that was extending like a tentacle.

The expression on Zeref's face became richer, and he said excitedly: "As expected, you are different. I thought it would be Natsu who would end everything, but it looks like you can also put an end to this never-ending curse!"

"You're wrong. I'm not trying to end anything. I'm trying to start a new chapter!"

As these words fell, Ciel broke through the layers of shackles formed by dark magic and came in front of Jellal.

Jellal opened his arms and said with a smile on his face, "It's useless. As long as I'm alive, there will be no future!"

"Noisy!"

Charles put his five fingers together, and flames wrapped around his entire forearm and extended to half the sky.

"I want the future that I want, and I'll show you how to create it!"

Jellal looked like he had given up resisting, but a terrifying black energy burst out from his body.

That was the curse from the god Ankselram that Charles had seen before. It was also the power that Charles once feared the most, and he had to be cautious even when coming into contact with it.

Even now, seeing the terrifying power of this explosion, Charles' heart still beats abnormally violently.

But Charles did not retreat. Even God could not stop him from grasping the future he wanted, so he punched him without hesitation.

……

At the Fairy Tail camp, Mavis looked up in one direction as if she was aware of something.

Natsu, who was on his way to another battlefield, also stopped and looked back at the sky behind him, which had become gorgeous due to the turbulence of magical energy.

"You must win... Ciel!"

……

Ciel's arms were shaking, but the light in his eyes was getting brighter.

It was the first time that Jellal saw the power that took all life after the curse erupted being suppressed by someone, and even he showed an expectant look.

So, Charles' fist finally pushed forward, and as Charles' fist pushed forward, the flames were finally released, directly destroying the curse of God, and then swallowed up the laughing Jellal.
