Chapter 116: The End of the Dragon King Festival

The Future Rogue was on one of the dragons and couldn't believe what he was seeing. The surprised look on his face just made my enjoyment of the meat more satisfying.

F. Rouge: Who the hell are you?!

Sage: Me? Oh, just a connoisseur of fine dining. Would you like a piece? This meat is to die for.

Anger and rage were Future Rouge's reactions when I offered him a piece of Motherglare. The dragon was easily defeated and now the remaining 6 dragons were also witnessing what I did.

Zirconis: Human, you dare eat my kin.

Sage: Hahaha!!! Listen to this lizard hypocrite. Weren't you about to enjoy eating humans? Didn't you get them naked with your magic because you said that women tasted better? Kudos by the way.

Zirconis: You are just cattle!!

Sage: Then, let me show you what it feels like to be ready for slaughter my precious dragon Wagyu.

I rubbed my hands together as I flashed in front of Zirconis kicked him into the air. Surprised by my speed and power, Zirconis flew higher.

Zirconis: You humans have yet to learn to fly. I will kill you from here.

I smiled as I slowly rose up from the ground towards him. Zirconis' eyes grew wider the closer I came to him. The wider his eyes the bigger my smile.

Sage: (In a mocking melodious tone) Anything you can do, I can do better.

I threw a right hook into Zirconis' jaw, making him spit out blood and teeth. The other dragons snapped out of the shock and attacked me. Even Future Rouge assisted the dragons. I slapped away his attack and caused the remaining dragons to take me seriously. Simultaneous attacks came my way but they were either quashed or slapped away. I dealt with the dragons, not like children but like ingredients ready for cooking. I planned to kill them but then the story would skew too much so I left the one engulfed in flames be as I called out to Natsu.

Sage: (Telepathically) Natsu! Can you hear me?

Natsu: What? Who? Sage? Why can I hear you in my head?

Sage: Listen, I will take care of the other dragons. I already killed one, so take the one that's covered in flames so you can recover. Later on we can have a dragon barbeque.

Natsu: Dragon Barbeque? Do they taste good?

Sage: I had piece of one, the meat was buttery and delicious.

Natsu: Mmm, that sounds good. Then I will take the flame covered one.

Natsu jumped up on top of the flame covered dragon and began eating the flame. The dragon was surprised as its flames, which he boasted were hell flames, was being devoured by a human. Once Natsu started to eat Atlas Flames, the name of the dragon engulfed in fire, flames, Atlas came to his senses.

Atlas: What are you doing?

Natsu: I'm eating you! Yummy flames!

Atlas: A human can't eat my flames. (After thrashing about) Brat. Who are you? What's your relationship with Igneel?

Natsu: Igneel? Do you know him?

Atlas: He's my friend and the king of flame dragons.

Natsu: I see. Igneel is my dad.

After that exchange, Atlas became free of Future Rouge's mind control and Natsu powered up in the process. Natsu and Atlas then came for Future Rouge. I avoided Furture Rouge because he wasn't my enemy and he was too easy to beat for me. I continued to attack the other dragons while tenderizing them. I killed the dragon that was covered in rock but was disappointed when it had way less meat than Motherglare. Future Rouge took the dragon that looked like it had an axe on its head and took on Natsu and Atlas.

I stored away Motherglare and the rock covered dragon, maybe there is a special way to cook him. Because I killed Motherglare rather quickly all the little dragon things died with it so all the deaths that occurred or should have occurred, didn't happen. This way I can return the favor to Ultear for me copying her magic. Ultear doesn't turn back time and turn to some old lady and her body can stay perky. I laughed as I ripped Zirconis' wings off and he plummeted into the ground. Since all the dragons were in battle with me I told Makarov and Mavis through telepathy to secure all people out of the way. I held back until they were all evacuated.

Once I was given the okay by Mavis I let loose just a tad more. The more I hit the dragons the hungrier I became. The people that were evacuated became spectators to the slaughter I brought upon the dragons. I can only speculate from the expressions on their faces but I was neither a Dragon Slayer nor God Slayer so they did not know how a human was besting an ancient powerful being like a dragon. I didn't have much time to try to eat the others because one the Eclipse Gate is broken the dragons will be forced back to their time. I killed the other dragons except the 2 that Natsu and Future Rouge were fighting on.

As best as I could I began eating the rest of Motherglare. The meat was so tender that it could almost be eaten raw but I cooked it as fast and best as I could. I payed attention to fight between Natsu and Future Rouge so I could time my eating of the dragons. After cooking some more pieces of Motherglare I stored them in my dimensional pocket, hopefully, with luck I can prevent the meat from disappearing because my pocket is through a different space time. I moved on to the dragon that was covered in rocks. The skin was rock and partially the meat was as well. The meat I managed to cook was silky and smooth, almost like shellfish. Since there was not much meat to eat on this dragon I ate it all, leaving its rocky carcass on the side. Whatever minor exhaustion I had was gone as the meat of the dragons revitalized me and got my gourmet cells flowing.

Unfortunately I couldn't taste the other ones as Natsu and Future Rouge went crashing through the Eclipse gate. After a few seconds the corpses and the dragons that Natsu and Future Rouge were riding on started to disappear. Once all the dragons disappeared I checked my storage pocket and saw that the meat was still there. If I pulled it out in this universe and this time the meat will disappear as well so I guess I will take it with me, too bad I can't share it with the guild. I got sensed where Natsu was and jumped to his location. I stayed a few feet away but still heard their conversation about saving Present Rouge's cat, Frosch, from dying a year from now. I will come back again after I have sometime and after I have dealt with Moro.
