"You guy, I've obviously told you that guy is not someone you can challenge at the moment, but you just don't believe in evil and have to give it a try. Now it's great!"

Raphael at Gildas's house Leaning lazily by the door frame, he joked to Gildas who was sitting in the rocking chair with a joking look on his face.

"I didn't think so much at the time. I just thought that I should be able to handle it with my own strength. Who knew that guy didn't even bother to pay attention to me.

I was so angry that I attacked him directly, but I never expected that he would just spit out a breath and turn me into this miserable state."

Gildarts lay helplessly on the chair, shaking his feet and spreading his hands upwards.

"Yes, but there are very few people in our union who can listen to other people's advice and will not easily provoke powerful enemies!"

Raphael snorted lightly, and then shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

After a short silence, Raphael finally couldn't help but ask:

"Are you really going to tell Natsu about this? Aren't you worried that he will be as ignorant as you and run to find trouble for that person? Gildas raised his head and stared at the ceiling, as if he was deep in thought, and murmured softly:

"I just wanted to give him some hope and motivation. After all, I saw him looking for the fire dragon so persistently.......Besides, you are here, I think that guy is definitely no match for your punch!"

After speaking, Gildas slowly sat up, faced Raphael, gave a thumbs up, and grinned with a bright smile.

Raphael sighed helplessly, shook his head and said,"Alas.......It's up to you. I'm almost your babysitter. Here!"

After saying that, Raphael stood up, threw a bottle of blue potion to Gildarts, and then turned around and strode out of the room.

"You drink half of this potion and apply the other half to your broken foot, and a brand new leg will grow in seven days! There may be some pain and itching, but it shouldn’t be a problem for you! I am leaving!"

As the words fell, Raphael's figure gradually faded away.

Gildas looked at Raphael's disappearing back, with a happy smile on his face.

"This guy is indeed so trustworthy!"

He looked down at the blue potion in his hand, and his heart was filled with anticipation and gratitude.

At this moment, Natsu and Habi walked briskly to the door of Gildarts' house.

"We are here~" Natsu waved at Gildarts with a smile on his face, and then asked excitedly:"I just met Raphael on the road. Has he cured you?"

"How can it be so fast? We still have to wait seven days! Gildarts smiled and shook his head, and then warmly greeted them into the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Gildarts immediately put on a curious expression, stared at Natsu closely, and asked enthusiastically:

"How did you and Lisanna get along while I was gone? Are there any new developments?"

"What are you talking about? We are just partners, and she hasn't been on a mission with me for a long time."

Natsu tilted his head, his face full of confusion, and muttered as he turned to leave.

"If you called me here just to hear these boring things, then I'm going to run away."

Natsu walked to the door with an unhappy look on his face, but just when he was about to leave, what Gildarts said next made him stop. He turned his head in surprise and looked straight at Gildarts.

"I met a dragon at work! But unfortunately, it is not the red dragon you are looking for, but a mysterious black dragon!"

Natsu rushed forward with excitement on his face, stared closely at Gildarts, and asked eagerly:"Where are you?......Where? Tell me quickly!"

Gildas lowered his head slightly, his eyes were dim, and he said in a low voice:"It's at Lingfeng Zhuonya! It was because of this black dragon that I ultimately failed to complete the mission."

Before he finished speaking, Natsu couldn't hold back his excitement. He turned around and rushed out to look for the legendary black dragon in order to find out the news about Igneel from its mouth.

However, Gilda Si Que suddenly stood up, blocked Natsu's way, and said in a deep voice:"What will happen if you go?"

Natsu was very anxious, and only wanted to get rid of Gildarts' obstruction:"Of course I want to ask it about the whereabouts of Igneel! This is the only clue!

Gildarts stretched out his big, strong hands and pressed Natsu's shoulders firmly like an iron pliers:"That black dragon has left there long ago. It is wandering around the entire continent and even the world!"

Natsu became more and more anxious and shouted at the top of his voice to Gildarts:"But even so, maybe we can still find some clues?"!"

His eyes were full of expectation and desire, as if as long as he found a glimmer of hope, he would never give up easily.

Gildarts roared at Natsu equally loudly:"That's enough! Have you forgotten the injuries I suffered?!"

As the words fell, Gildas suddenly tore off the cloak on his body, and then completely exposed his horrific and scarred body covered with hideous wounds.

"See? These shocking wounds are all caused by him! In just a moment, my arms, thighs and internal organs were all severely injured!!"

Gildarts stared at Natsu with anger on his face, and pointed his finger in a certain direction in the distance, as if there was an extremely terrifying enemy hidden there.

At this moment, Natsu was completely stunned and unable to move. Until now, he finally knew that the serious and terrible injuries on Gildarts were caused by the mysterious black dragon...

Faced with such cruel and horrifying facts, Natsu felt that his brain was blank, and he couldn't believe that everything happening in front of him was real. He stared at the horrifying huge wounds on Gildarts with his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly open but unable to make any sound, and could only keep muttering in a low voice.

"No...this is absolutely impossible! Dragons...how could they hurt humans for no reason? No...this can't be true……"

Gildarts looked at Natsu who was in a daze due to extreme shock, sighed helplessly and slowly shook his head.

"Maybe Igniel who raised you was indeed a kind dragon, but the black dragon that appeared at that time was undoubtedly the enemy of mankind. From its eyes full of malice and indifference, I can't feel the slightest kindness towards humans!"

"That black dragon, maybe only Raphael can solve it, no one else can defeat it!"

Gildarts looked at Natsu with a serious and extremely heavy expression and continued.

Natsu's face was full of shock and it was difficult to accept this fact. He stared at Gildarts with wide eyes and asked.

"Unbeatable? If so, what's the point of having a dragon slayer?"

He became more and more excited, his voice unconsciously rising an octave, staring at Gildarts and shouting,"If I use my magic, a mere black dragon will be nothing to me......."

Gildarts interrupted Natsu and pointed to the door, saying,"If you really think so, I won't stop you!"

Hearing this, Natsu clenched his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and his whole body was shaking with extreme anger.

Then, he turned around angrily without looking back, and rushed out of Gildarts's house like an arrow, roaring angrily,"Damn it!"——!!"

"Natsu!"

""Harpy!"

Seeing this, Harpy wanted to catch up immediately, but was stopped by Gildarts.

Gildarts said to Harpy with a serious face:

"You must try your best to help him. Although Raphael can subdue the black dragon, we can never always rely on Raphael's power, so we must find another dragon that is strong enough to fight it!"

After speaking, Gildarts raised his head, stared at Natsu's figure getting farther and farther away, and murmured to himself:"If it is Natsu, then one day, absolutely one day, he will definitely be able to defeat this evil dragon!"

Happy seemed to be still a little confused about what Gildarts said, but still nodded obediently to show that he understood. Then, it turned around, flapped its wings and flew high, rushing towards the direction where Natsu left.

Gildarts walked slowly to the door. He looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and there was a trace of confusion and helplessness in his eyes.

After returning from Gildarts, Natsu was sulking and had no interest in doing even the task.

Even Gray didn't want to respond to his provocation. In the lively guild, Natsu made himself seem out of place in this lively environment for the first time.

"What happened to Natsu-kun?" Wendy on the side looked at Lucy with a puzzled look.

Lucy also spread her hands with a puzzled look and said:"Who knows him, let's not talk about him. Didn't you say before that the dragon that raised you also disappeared on July 7, X777?"

Wendy nodded, looked at Lucy and said:"Yes, the adoptive parents of Natsu, Gajeel and me all disappeared on that day!"

Xia Lulu drank tea in confusion and said:"What's going on? What happened on that day? That caused all the dragons to disappear on that day"

"Could it be that we went hiking together?"

Lucy's answer made Wendy fall down instantly. She looked at Lucy with twitching eyes.

"I didn’t expect Lucy to say these strange things sometimes!"

Natsu lay on the chair, looked at Wendy and the others and sighed, then turned over and stared at the ceiling in trance.

Igneel... Dad, are you okay now?
