บท 327: Odds
(Third Person POV)
"Take this!!!" Natsu bellowed as he rushed Jason
He hit Jason with his new powered-up attack, hurting him severely. The impact of the fist resulted in a massive explosion of black and red-orange flames that burned through Jason's resistance to all flames.
"Shit..." Jason said as he jumped away, "This is some shit, eh?"
He landed away a couple of feet away. Even with Flame God Slayer active, he was still being damaged. Flame God Slayer's immunity to fire was essentially being negated here as Jason was feeling nothing but the scorching heat and power of Natsu's newfound power.
As Natsu stepped forward, the ground beneath him began to be scorched, cracking under the power of his fiery aura. His serious glare pierced Jason who noticed the change in his demeanor was due to the power of his God Flames.
"Hm..." Jason said as he reared his left hand back
He then swung his fist at Natsu, firing off a stream of black flames. As they hit Natsu, they were instantly siphoned into his mouth as he devoured them with ease.
"Won't work on me!" Natsu growled as he rushed Jason
He instantly reached Jason and unleashed a flurry of punches that struck him hard and fast. With each punch, an explosion erupted that damaged Jason severely.
"Shit.." Jason grunted through the punches as he attempted to brace himself
"Ohhhh!!!" Natsu bellowed
In the stands, Igora was watching this with awe. She was well aware of how strong Jason was and how he was able to match The Wandering Swordsman back on her island. And now, Jason was the one being overwhelmed by a mere dragon slayer.
"This..." Igora said under her breath, "That boy...."
"Ohhh!!!" The announcer bellowed, "Jason is being overwhelmed!!! Will he be defeated?"
As everyone saw this with nothing but shock, expecting Jason to somehow be on the winning side, only one person was confident that Jason would still win.
God Serena smirked, "Heh." He said, "This ain't nothing. The boy's power-up is certainly a scary one....but Jason isn't done yet."
As he said this, Natsu reared his fist back and erupted it with flames as his eyes turned bloodshot.
"Ohhhh!!!!" He bellowed
His magic power skyrocketed, his intention was to end it right there and now.
"Flame Dragon God's..."
"Nah." Jason said, "I don't think so."
Suddenly, Natsu fell straight onto the ground shattering the area beneath him. He felt an overwhelmingly powerful pressure pushing him straight down as he attempted to lift himself up.
"Gravity God's Presence"
Jason had raised his arm forward, his entire body and face covered in blood and burns. Despite that, he didn't seem too bothered by the fact Natsu overwhelmed him momentarily.
He used the Gravity of his God Slayer Magic to keep Natsu pinned down as the dragon slayer attempted to move. Natsu's body was still covered in the mixture of dragon and god flames, burning the ground that it touched.
"I give you props..." Jason said as he spit out some blood, "To push my body like that. Not even that bastard Suzaku did that to me back then....then again, I was using all of my magic at my disposal. But regardless....."
He took a step forward as Natsu got to his knees, who was struggling to force his way to his feet as he gritted his teeth.
"Ohhh!!!" Natsu growled
"Your senses are going haywire." Jason said, "If you don't compose yourself and control that sudden rush of power, You'll lose."
Natsu then yelled out, "RAhhhhhh!!!" He bellowed as he released a massive explosion of dragon god flames, "Fuckkk!!!"
Jason was pushed back as his gravity was dispelled, "Shit." He said, "Using raw power to push himself out of the gravity...."
"Natsu is out of the predicament!!!" The announcer yelled, "Is he going to repeat his onslaught!?!?!"
Natsu lunged himself at Jason as he waved his arms at him, sending a massive wave of his flames.
"Flame Dragon God's Combustion Wave!!!"
The flames hit Jason and exploded repeatedly, causing Jason's body to take a serious amount of damage. Everyone who saw this yelled in shock as Jason was pushed back yet again.
Kagura looked at this, "Jason..." She said, "Even with.....you're still being overwhelmed."
"Tch..." Jason said, "You son of a...."
Natsu rushed through the flames as he reared his fist back, preparing for a punch. As he swung, he felt as if his fist was diverted away somehow.
"Huh??!?!" Natsu said as Jason looked at him
"Hm." Jason merely said
"Gravity God's Infighting."
Suddenly, Jason unleashed a flurry of close-contact straight punches at Natsu's body, striking through the flames as the blows caused massive shockwaves that buckled Natsu's body.
"Gahhh!!" Natsu yelled out as he coughed up blood
Jason then struck him with a final straight right which sent Natsu flying back, hitting the ground hard.
Almost instantly, he got right back up as he panted and clutched his body.
"What the...." He said
Jason then rushed him and he instantly punched him in the face, staggering him. The blow was strong enough to rock Natsu's head, wobbling him as he attempted to straighten up.
Jason followed it up with a low kick to Natsu's calves, buckling him with ease as he kneed him in the face, sending him flying again. Natsu, still engulfed in his flames, hit the barrier as it rippled. He bounced off of it and fell to the ground.
Gray stood up, "What the..." He said, "Is Jason using Martial Arts Magic?! Those attacks shouldn't be that powerful!!!"
Igora shook her head, "No." She said, "He's not. Those are all physical attacks."
"What?" Gray said
Meanwhile, Kagura looked at this.
"He's adding gravity to himself to add mass to himself in order to increase his physical power to limits nobody can comprehend....." She said with a bewildered look, "At the same time, he's manipulating his gravity to counteract the negative effects which would be being to heavy to move. But not just that, when Natsu attacked him earlier, he used gravity as a barrier to divert the attack away...Jason.....how strong are you???"
Natsu got up and he wiped the blood out of his mouth, "You..." He said
He lunged again, attempting to punch Jason. His body was fully engulfed in the flames as they erupted backward.
Suddenly, Natsu hit an invisible barrier and bounced back, his head rattled.
"Huh?!?!" He exclaimed
Jason flicked his hand up.
"Fly"
Natsu was then flung upwards into the air with Jason's gravity as he flipped. Jason suddenly appeared above Natsu who faced him. He immediately stomped Natsu straight in the stomach, sending him flying straight down.
Natsu hit the ground hard as it shattered completely, coughing out blood. As Jason hovered in midair, he waved his hand downwards, sending a massive wave of gravity to hit Natsu hard it crushing him and forcing him down.
"Aghhh!!!" Natsu grunted
Without being able to move his limbs, due to the gravity, Natsu glared up at Jason.
Jason was looking at him seriously as Natsu opened his mouth. Suddenly, he fired a massive beam of flames at him from his mouth. The attack took Jason off-guard and hit him dead-on, allowing him to dispel the gravity.
Natsu immediately got up and fired himself up into the air as Jason stumbled in midair, using his gravity powers to keep himself afloat.
"Take this!!!" Natsu yelled
"Flame Dragon God's Gnawing Claw!!!"
Natsu engulfed his hand in flames as he swung it at Jason's midsection in a clawing manner, attempting to burn a hole through him.
Jason managed to avoid the attack, the flames grazing him. He then grabbed Natsu by the shoulders and he used gravity to force the both of them straight to the ground.
"Grand Fall!!!"
The two of them hit the ground hard as Jason was above Natsu, still engulfed in flames. Natsu, who took the brunt of the damage, coughed up blood again as his entire body rattled.
"This form of yours is adding not only magical power but physical power, eh?" Jason said, "Interesting. But all of that comes at a cost, Natsu. This kind of power will mess with your mind."
Natsu then glared at him as he let out a yell, "Ahhhh!!!"
Suddenly, Jason was hit with an explosion of flames as he was sent flying backward. As he stumbled on the floor, reeling back, he noticed that Natsu's magic power was still rising. His flames were being fueled by emotions.
"Shit..." Jason said, "This could be a problem..."
Natsu then stood up, rearing his head back as he charged up flames in his mouth.
"Oh...." Jason said as he braced himself, "That's not good."
"Flame Dragon God's....."
Suddenly, all the flames around Natsu were siphoned into his mouth as the ground began to shake. The amount of magic power he was charging up was too much that Jason believed the barrier wouldn't be able to hold.
Jason readied a stance, planting his feet into the ground as he extended his arms outwards.
"I'll do something about this..." Jason said
"ROAR!!!!!!"
Natsu fired off his massive breath attack, dwarfing Jason as it rapidly approached.
"Gravity God's Presence"
The ground around Jason began to shatter as he let out a massive wave of gravity which was strong enough to slow the breath attack down just a little, but the flames still pushed through.
"Good enough." Jason said as he let out an aura, "Come..."
As the breath attack hit Jason and exploded in a massive ball of flames that shook the entire arena, Natsu watched this as he panted, blood all over his body.
He then widened his eyes as he watched the entirety of his flames be siphoned into Jason's mouth, who was still burned up a bit.
Jason stumbled back a bit as he wiped his mouth, "Damn!!" He said, "That still hurt!!"
Natsu gritted his teeth, "What??"
Jason smiled, "I can still eat fire, you know." He said, "Especially in this mode."
He let out a fiery aura as the air around him was distorted by a field of gravity.
"Burning Gravity God Mode"
Jason's magic power rose exponentially, he has now entered a dual God-Slayer element mode. Everyone watched this in shock; they were used to Dragon Slayers using this kind of power, but never had they seen a God Slayer.
God Serena chuckled as he looked at this, "Interesting..." He said, "What kind of other surprises do you hold, Jason?"
Natsu saw this, his entire body shaking due to the damage he has suffered.
He then clenched his fist as he engulfed himself in his black and red-orange flames. He wasn't done with his Flame Dragon God Mode.
"Okay..." Natsu said as he smiled, "I'm getting the hang of this...."
Jason then pointed at Natsu, his hand in a finger-gun gesture as he held the wrist with his other hand. He began to charge up a combination of flames and gravity into the fingertips as he aimed at Natsu.
"You got a powerful mode, Natsu." Jason said, "But tell me...."
"Do you seriously the odds are on your favor?"
