Chapter 67: Natsu Vs. Elemental Four

Natsu quickly ran along the hallway of the second floor. He didn't want to waste any more time and wanted to reach the guild master as soon as possible.

"Roche Concerto" Natsu heard someone shouting. When he looked forward he saw a barrage of massive rocks heading toward his location. He quickly dodged every rock and looked at the attacker. There were three people in front of him. They were Sol, Totomaru, and Juvia respectively. They noticed his approach on their way to the first floor. So, they quickly intercepted him.

"So I finally have the honor of meeting the Elemental Four, huh?" Natsu said sarcastically. He didn't want to waste much time on them if possible.

"Non, non, non, I was wondering who it was. If it isn't the infamous Salamander of the Fairy Tail guild." Non said with a confident smile. He felt that three of them were enough to stop the infamous salamander. There is strength in numbers after all.

"Salamander or not, he's nothing but a fire-breathing lizard to me. I'm gonna blow him out just like a candle haha…" Totomaru said with a vulgar laugh. He was confident in his skill to counter any fire mage.

"Juvia won't allow salamander to get past her. Water Slicer!" Juvia declared with her usual stoic expression. Then, she unleashed her attack toward Natsu.

Juvia created a single wave of multiple blades that resembled scythes and threw them toward Natsu as projectiles. The blade emitted an enormous pressure which was enough to cut through the air. Natsu dodged the attack quickly.

"Woah! Can't you at least give me a warning before attacking? That was pretty dangerous you know?" He asked with a wry smile. Even though Juvia's attacks could do nothing to the current him, he acted like it was dangerous.

"Juvia doesn't care. Why should Juvia warn her enemy? This is illogical." Juvia replied with an expressionless face.

"Don't argue with him Juvia. It's our job to stop him here before Aria completes his task." Totomaru said making Juvia stop from saying anything more. That's right they have a mission to accomplish first.

"Non, non, non, that's right Totomaru-sama! Let's show him that Phantom Lord is the strongest guild. Sand Magic: Sable Dance" Sol said with a grin. Then, he created a swirl of sand and attacked Natsu from every side. It didn't do any damage to Natsu who just looked at him in annoyance.

"Geez… Did you guys think that your pitiful attack can hurt me?" Natsu said with a mocking smile making the three angry. They felt that he was underestimating them too much.

"Don't underestimate us, bastard! Take this! Rainbow Fire: Blue Fire" Totomaru angrily shouted while creating a blue, cold fireball. Then, he threw it toward Natsu who just looked at it with disdain.

*BOOOOOM!*

An explosion occurred, scattering flames and dust all around when the fireball made contact with Natsu, but all the flames suddenly started getting sucked into a point making the three wide-eyed. When the dust settled down, Natsu came out of it with a dissatisfied expression.

"Slurp, that was the shittiest fire I've eaten," he spoke with a wrinkled nose. He didn't like the taste of those flames at all.

"Bastard, how could you eat my flames!?" Totomaru asked angrily. He felt humiliated when his flames didn't do any damage to Natsu.

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know fire magic doesn't work on me? I'm a fire dragon for god's sake." Natsu said with a blank stare. He looked at Totomaru as if he were the biggest idiot in the world, making him embarrassed.

"Shut up! I know that already. I was just testing you out." Totomaru said with red cheeks. He didn't want to admit that he forgot the guy in front of him was a 'Dragon Slayer'.

"Non, non, non, let's not get over-excited everyone. I'm sure Salamander-san will properly greet us. Isn't that right, Platre Sonata!" Sol said before unleashing his strongest attack. He created a large clenched fist made of plaster in front of him and sent it flying toward Natsu.

Natsu calmly looked at the approaching attack, not feeling even the slightest bit of threat coming from it.

"Fire Dragon's Claw," Natsu said engulfing his right foot in crimson flames. Then, he kicked the incoming earthen fist blasting it into smithereens.

"Was that supposed to be an attack?" Natsu said with glazed eyes making Sol angry. He didn't to be underestimated.

"Don't underestimate me, Salamander. I'll show you my ultimate magic. Earth Statues" Sol said with an evil smile forgetting all his previous polite manner. He created multiple earth statues, but when Natsu saw the appearance of those earthen statues, he was surprised. All of them had the appearance of Zancrow with his usual psychotic grin.

Natsu didn't waste any time and unleashed his breath attack. He knew that the appearance of those statues was nothing but an illusion. A weak guy like Sol could never breach his mental defense.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu shouted inhaling a large amount of air and exhaling a gigantic fireball toward the earthen statues.

*BOOOOM!*

All of them were obliterated by the attack, creating a large explosion scattering flames and dust everywhere. Totomaru tried to control the flame but was unable to. He could tell that the flames were not something he could control with his current power.

Natsu didn't waste any time and swiftly approached the shocked Sol and punched his guts with enough power to crack the earth, making him wail in agony.

"Ugh, how could my attack fail?" Sol said in disbelief before losing his consciousness.
