Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 231: No, I Ran Away

"You said you're dragon"

Gray looked at the arena, his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe what he had heard.

"Isn't that obvious"

"I am a dragon! Of course a dragon came from a dragon!"

"This is just like how humans are born from humans. It is common sense!"

Kurnugi stood on the stage and looked down at Gray. There was a hint of speechlessness in his expression. He looked at Gray as if he was looking at a retard and helplessly said.

"Let's forget about Natsu, right?"

"His mind is probably a bit abnormal..."

Gray looked at Kurnugii with a hint of silence in his eyes. Finally, Gray pulled Natsu's shoulder and whispered.

"Your brain is not normal! You and your senior brother are not normal!"

"Our brain is super smart. Even our mother said that our brain is very intelligent and sensitive."

Unfortunately, Kurnugi's five senses were very sensitive and his hearing was very strong. He heard everything Gray said clearly. In this regard, Kurnugi looked at Gray and said angrily.

"Eh..."

Gray seemed to have not expected him to lower his voice so low, and it was still heard by Kurnugi, so his expression was a bit awkward.

In fact, Gray did not want to provoke Kurnugi...

After all, Kurnugii could not even defeat Laxus and Erza together...

Even the gypsum became silent after the battle with the former. One could imagine how strong the latter was. He was a pure monster. Gray was not arrogant enough to defeat a monster like the former.

"Were you really born from the dragon?"

Compared to the embarrassed Gray, Natsu was full of curiosity about the former. He approached the former and looked at him.

"Isn't this nonsense? I already said that I am a dragon. Of course, my mother is a dragon too..."

When Kurnugi heard this, he raised his chin proudly, as if having a mother dragon was something to show off.

"In fact, I was raised by a dragon as well..."

Natsu felt as if he had found a lot of common topics between himself and Kurnugi. He kept talking to Kurnugi.

"You were also raised by a dragon?"

Kurnugi was stunned for a moment. He didn't think that this silly human kid in front of him was actually a child of a dragon. In order to confirm whether Natsu was telling the truth, Kurnugi directly jumped down from the arena and moved closer to Natsu to sniff him.

"Sniffsniff..."

"Sniffsniff..."

Kurnugi sniffed around Natsu and nodded.

"Hmm! You look like a fool. I didn't expect you to really be a child raised by a giant dragon. You know how to use the Dragon Slayer Magic, right? In fact, the so-called Dragon Slayer Magic is just the magic used by dragons! Since you are a child raised by a dragon and can also use the Dragon Slayer Magic, then you are also a dragon!"

Kurnugi could smell that Natsu was emitting a very rich dragon smell, so he revealed a bright smile and spoke with certainty.

In this way, Natsu was the third dragon he met after he left his nest alone and came to the outside world. However, Natsu was still a young dragon. Speaking of which, Laxus also had the smell of a dragon. However, the smell on Laxus was not so pure. In Kurnugi's eyes, it could only be called half a dragon.

"Look! I told you I was a child raised by a dragon. You didn't believe me just now..."

After listening to Kurnugis words, Natsu turned to look at Gray and said excitedly.

"... "

In this regard, Gray only looked at Natsu who was in high spirits as if he was looking at an idiot, and Kurnugi, whose IQ was worrying.

"Are these two idiots?"

Gray thought silently in his heart. He now seriously suspected that Natsu in front of him and Kurnugi were actually super big idiots hiding in the face of normal people...

"Sniffsniff... Sniff... Sniff..."

Natsu ignored the stunned Gray. In Natsu's eyes, he had already confirmed the authenticity of his identity. He approached Kurnugi and kept sniffing at Kurnugi.

"Ahahaha..."

"The smell on your body is the same as that of a dragon. Are you really a dragon?"

Natsu suddenly laughed foolishly. He looked at Kurnugi who was in front of him and asked.

In Natsu's impression, the only creature that could give off this kind of faint and majestic smell was a dragon...

"Ahaha, you brat, your sense of smell is really not bad..."

"It's comparable to our real giant dragons. It seems that you are really suitable to become a giant dragon..."

"Hey, if I'm not wrong, the scarf on your neck should be made of dragon scales, right?"

Kurnugi felt that he and Natsu were quite compatible because Natsu was the first person in the entire guild to recognize him directly shooting a giant dragon. Of course, Evan was the senior who had beaten him into a human form in the Northern Continent, including Gildarts. Gildartss had been exposed by him on his own initiative. As for Irene, Irene could not be considered as a 'human'. In Kurnugi's eyes, she was a monster. She could probably compete with his mother, right? In the dragon world, they were all at the level of a strong dragon! It's just that I don't dare to say that in front of Irene...

While he was happy, he gently patted his shoulder, which also made him notice the white scarf around his neck.

"Well! This is the scarf given to me by senior. It is a scarf made from the scales of junior!"

After listening to the words of senior, his eyes sparkled with stars and he kept nodding.

"Junior is indeed a name that a giant dragon can use..."

"And I seem to have heard of this name. I remember that it was a powerful giant dragon!"

"But it must not be as powerful as my mother, kakaka..."

Kurnugi smiled and said.

"... "

It was also after Kurnugi laughed that Natsu's expression turned cold. The warm and brimming smile on his face returned to Peace.

"No, Igneel is the strongest. Your mother is definitely not a match for my father, Igneel!"

Natsu put the scarf around his neck back on. Originally, he wanted to lend the scarf to Kurnugi to take a good look, but now he didn't have this to calculate.

"Nonsense, my mother is the most powerful dragon in this world!"

"You have to know that my mother is in the mainland of the North, Selene, a dragon that is crowned with the name of Moon Dragon God by the weak humans."

Kurnugi's forehead was on Natsu's forehead as he spoke coldly.

"No, it won't be. Selene is the strongest..."

Natsu didn't want to be outdone, so he also pressed his forehead against Kurnugi's forehead, emphasizing that his father was the strongest.

"Hmph! It looks like it's necessary for my mother to fight your father! However, you have to be careful. A dragon with the title of 'God' will be instantly killed by an ordinary dragon."

Kurnugi snorted coldly, a hint of pride flashing across his face.

"Hmph! Of course not. My father, Igneel, is the strongest, but..."

"It's just that I don't know where he went..."

As Natsu spoke, his expression seemed to be a little downcast. He seemed to be extremely sad about his father's disappearance.

"Isn't that very normal!"

"Natsu, I just heard you call the dragon that brought you up father. In other words, the dragon that brought you up is a male dragon, right?"

Kurnugi looked at the dejected Natsu and smiled.

"Mm..."

Natsu raised his head and nodded at Kurnugi.

"Isn't that enough..."

"In our dragon race, male dragons generally do not take care of children. Many children have never seen their own father since they were young. 99 of the young dragons are raised by their mothers. Although there are very few dragons that are very special and are raised by their fathers, basically, once their children can survive independently, they will be incomparably decisive and directly leave their children...

"So don't feel sad, Natsu. If one morning you wake up and find that your mother and father are no longer there, it does not mean that your mother and father are angry and left you. Instead, in your parents' eyes, you are already a qualified dragon. You can live independently in this world..."

Kurnugi looked at the sad Natsu and comforted him.

Compared to Kurnugi, who was stirring up trouble in the Northern Continent, Kurnugi learned a lot after coming to Isghar. He became more and more like a human, comforting others, and one of the abilities Kurnugi learned when he came to this world.

"Really? Really?"

The disappointment in Natsu's eyes swept away after he heard Kurnugi's words. He did not expect that his father, Igneel, would leave him because in Igneel's eyes, he already had the power to rely on himself. He was a little dragon who could leave his parents' arms and survive alone.

"Of course!"

Kurnugi nodded after listening to Natsu.

"Then, Big Brother Kurnugi, did you leave your nest alone because your parents acknowledged you?"

Natsu asked excitedly after hearing Kurnugi's words.

"Eh..."

"No, I didn't get my mother's recognition at all. In fact, I came from home and sneaked out while my mother was leaving..."

After listening to Natsu's words, the smile on Kurnugi's face suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked lonely.

"If he is too bored at home, so he ran out to play for decades before going back. Anyway, mother is busy with something important and doesn't have time to care about me, so it probably doesn't matter, right?"

Kurnugi looked at Natsu with a sad face.

"Eh..."

For a moment, Natsu didn't know how to comfort Kurnugi.

"Well, Brother Kurnugi, do you know where the dragon will go after leaving his child?"

The young Natsu thought for a moment and decided to change the topic. At the same time, he wanted to find out more information about Igneel. Although Kurnugi said that Igneel had left him, proving that he had grown up and could live independently in this world in the eyes of Igneel, he still wanted to see his father, Fire Dragon Igneel.

"I don't know..."

Kurnugi replied without thinking.

In fact, the range of the dragons is too large. Forest forest, sea, sky, sand, rocks, lava, and even other worlds...

Therefore, Kurnugi did not know where the adult dragons would go after leaving their children, just like how he did not know where his mother, Moon Dragon God Selene, was.

"Eh, is, is that so?"

After listening to Kurnugi's words, Natsu had a trace of loneliness in his eyes. Originally, he thought that Kurnugi would know, but he quickly regained his spirit. Since Kurnugi did not know, then he would find out about it himself...
