The Iron Mage (Book 1)

The Will Of Iron Dragon

Gajeel tensed a little. He could sense Natsuki magic. It was strong, stronger than his former Master Jose. No, Jose would be a joke compare to her.

The Iron Dragon knew in his current state he would lose but even then he didn't wanted to give up. Natsu Dragneel had won impossible battle.

He's also a Dragon Slayer and he too is no different from Natsu Dragneel. If Natsu can win impossible battle why can't he. He wasn't planning to give up.

"Iron Dragon Roar"

Gajeel unleash a strong roar but Natsuki jump and dodge the attack. That moment Gajeel was already above Natsuki with a smirk.

"Don't go underestimating my speed now"

Gajeel spoke with a grin and deliver a strong right hook on Natsuki face.

But Gajeel noticed Natsuki, using her arm,block his attack. A sword was manifested and Natsuki went on to slash Gajeel.

However Gajeel grab the sword with his mouth and crush it. He then started chewing.

"I guess simple talk won't set you free from his mind control"

Gajeel covered himself in Iron Dragon Scale. He then gave a punch which send Natsuki flying down.

"But I think my fist sure will," Gajeel said while having a smirk on his face.

Jeanne eyes widened in shock. "I didn't know Gajeel was this strong....."

Laxus had a smirk on his face. "During the battle against Grimmjow he took a near death beating"

"Dragon Slayer tends to get better after recovering from near death experience"
Ethan added. "On top of that he have been training hard"

Ethan smiled inside before he continued,
"Gajeel told me this, "If I wanna surpass Salamander,you and any other guys, I'm gonna have to train 10 times harder." He live up to his words"

Ivan who was sitting on a throne and watching the fight had a smirk on his face.

Natsuki got up and she had no visible injuries on her body. Thousands of swords appear and it went towards Gajeel.

"Shit"

Gajeel jump and dodge the swords which were flying towards him at incredible speed.His face was grab Natsuki who jumps towards him.

She proceeded to deliver a devastating blow on Gajeel stomach. Gajeel split a large quantity of blood.His Iron Scale broke but Natsuki wasn't done.

While in the air,multiple swords rain down Gajeel who hit the ground hard. When the attack ended Gajeel was laying on the ground.Natsuki put her foot on that fallen Gajeel stomach.

"Weakling" That was the first word, the mind control girl said. The words surprisingly didn't pissed Gajeel off.

"If you lose, wouldn't that make your strength below a weakling", Gajeel pushed Natsuki and backflip.

He then glare at her, "A fear would be at first for mind control, right?"

"Iron Dragon Barrage"

Suddenly from Gajeel body, multiple knife like iron projectile came out and went to hit Natsuki. Natsuki easily block the attack.

When the attack stop Gajeel was infront of her. He raised his fist. Ivan eyes widened at the move.

"NATSUKI, DODGE-"

Ivan scream but it was too late. What Gajeel was going for was an attack which would be fatal for Natsuki It was a phenomenon which would greatly amplifies Gajeel's physical strike.
