The Liagole then arrived in the field as they both saw each other directly, Natsu saw the Liagole smiling and heading towards him, while, the Liagole saw Natsu running and screaming towards it.
Immediately they were close, the Liagole tried to bite him but Natsu jumped, stepping on its lower jaw and held its upper jaw as he then thrusted himself upward while rotating his body flying into the air trying to grab its head but since the Liagole was moving very fast, he grabbed its lower neck very close to the body and held on very tight. It happened so fast that the Liagole couldn't stop him. "What just happened, I saw him coming towards me, I tried killing him with a bite, I saw him pull of his stunts and I did nothing. Was I really too slow to respond to the boy? No! I'm not, I just decided not to react because I wanted to see what he was going to do" "Now, it's time to kill him" the Liagole thought as it started heading towards the clouds. "Damn I'm going very high into the clouds and I'm even flying at a high velocity, should I increase my speed, why haven't this boy falling off yet" the Liagole thought after a while of flying towards the clouds as Natsu was still holding tightly onto it. "I just need to hold on tightly, it will eventually get tired and once it does, I'll be able to escape" Natsu thought while holding its hair around its neck region. The liagole continued flying high as it increased its speed. "Damn I can't handle much of this, but if I fall, it's going to be the end of me, I just have to hold on" Natsu thought to himself. The Liagole noticed that Natsu isn't going to give up soon, so it started absorbing life energy around its surrounding. Moments after, it converted the energy and released it, increasing both it's speed and endurance. Natsu felt a gentle and warm sensation when the Liagole was absorbing life energy and as it expelled it, it felt like his body was heavy and as if it became impossible to breathe. It was already hard for Natsu to breathe since they where very high in the clouds. But when it released its life energy, Natsu couldn't breathe as he began to suffocate. He started trying to squeezing the Liagole neck but his effort were futile since he doesn't have the strength to do that. The Liagole closed its eyes and then decided to dive down since it became hard for it to breathe and then with all its energy flew down. The Liagole flew and flew and was expelling lots of energy that unknowingly to both Natsu and the Liagole, they started traveling through space and time. Suddenly the liagole fell and hit his back on the ground and Natsu was crushed by this. At this point he felt like this was his end because the Liagole landed with the part that he was on. They landed in a weird looking forest, it looked like something bad happened in the forest, it was very creepy. They were lots of broken trees and the place was a little bit dark. "Ahh why can't you just die? I haven't spent this much energy on anyone" the Liagole said. As Natsu heard this he tried to see who was talking but his sight was very blurry and has started fading. He saw the Liagole and as he was looking at it, it spoke and said "Are you looking down on me that you would rather die than use your abilities against me" After hearing this Natsu said in an angry tone with all the strength left in him "Do you think I'm that stupid to risk my life like this just to fight without using an ability! The problem is that I don't have one and I'm sure I'm going to die without getting one! So just kill me already! I tried to survive for the sake of my grandma but I can't, this is all I got" Immediately tears started rushing out of his eyes as rain began to fall, he began to speak with pain in his heart and definitely all over his body because of the brutal fight saying "Yes, since I was born I had nothing, my mom and dad abandoned me and my grandma took care of me, my life was a living hell because I got bullied all the time for not having an ability" "My grandma would carry me to a different place whenever she noticed I got beaten up. I'll cry every single day in my room trying to figure out why I was born without an ability. My life was so painful that most times I refused to leave the house, but my grandma was always there for me, she took good care of me and made me feel like I wasn't worthless" "I tried to live since I didn't want to see her cry because of me" After saying that he immediately said "Yeah that's right, I can't die knowing that she's still at home waiting for me, no, not yet, I can't die now, at least for her!" Natsu who was covered in blood and had lots of broken bones and bruises all over his body tried to gather all the energy and strength he had left to stand up and fight. The liagole was shocked by what he said and his willingness to continue fighting and said "You're really a very interesting kid. Because of your determination and all the effort you put into survival, I'll fight you with everything I've got. Even if you don't have an ability, you deserve to die in a great battle and die in peace as a warrior because that's what you are, you never gave in until the very end" Immediately the Liagole said that it heard a voice saying "Natsu VS Liagole the battle monster, battle begin!" The Liagole was surprised by what it heard and thought to himself "Who said that" and immediately a voice replied, "I am the system, I have helped countless people grow strong and become unstoppable to the point that they are seen as gods or to the level of that of a legendary warrior. I have helped the weak become unstoppable and have given the strong a chance to increase their powers" Immediately the voiced finished speaking a dashboard showing the liagole stats pupped up.

This is amazing, okay I'll try it out on this so called boy, Natsu. Let's see how far I can increase my skills" On the other hand nothing happened to Natsu, he didn't hear anything neither did he see anything, it was all normal for Natsu. Are you ready the Liagole asked but Natsu didn't say anything as he was focusing on balancing himself and how he will fight something that is way beyond his league. "Okay, here I come" the Liagole said and immediately dashed towards Natsu. Natsu heard something coming straight at him and tried to jump but was unable to because of the pain and fell down back to the ground sideways and then immediately stopped the fall. "What, he dodged my attack" the Liagole thought. Unknowingly to Natsu, the Liagole dashed towards him and lunched it's claws as it tried to rip him apart. He tried jumping so he will land on the monster as he did previously but since he didn't have enough energy he fell sideways which made the Liagole claws to miss him. Natsu felt a slight breeze beside him and he immediately figured out that the Liagole must have tried scratching him and he mistakenly dodged it, so he dashed straight forward trying to punch the liagole but instead of hitting its face he hit the Liagole eye ball. The Liagole roared, which threw Natsu as usual into the air and then he crashed into the ground. The liagole became pissed off and thought to itself "He must be pretending to be weak, because he dodged all my fatal attacks and then attacks me in a way that will cause me pain and damage, he truly is a warrior" Natsu who already couldn't see well and have lost all his strength was trying to get up from the ground to fight but couldn't. Immediately a beast came out of nowhere and attacked the Liagole. The Liagole was surprised by the hit it felt as it flew through the air and crashed into the ground. The liagole immediately noticed a weird looking beast which was kinda like a gorilla but instead it had eight legs like that of an insect extended from its back and saw that its lower body was looking like that of a snake. "What kind of abomination is that" the Liagole thought forgetting that itself was also an abomination. As the liagole stood up to fight it, it saw that the weird looking beast was already heading towards him. He immediately breathe out fire to burn the beast but it used its eight limb and throw itself into the air. Liagole saw that it was in the air and directed his fire at it causing the beast to be on fire. As the Liagole successfully set the beast on fire, it rushed and quickly used its tail to hit the beast towards the ground. The beast got angry as it landed on the ground and was still on fire. It stood up and released an insane amount of life energy and Natsu who was very close to the beast and death, began to feel an insane pressure on himself and tried to endure it. The beasts had an insane battle but at the end the Liagole won and the gorilla like beast ran way and went into hiding. The liagole immediately searched around to check if he would find Natsu but saw him lying down on the ground and decided to finish him off. "Blazing fireball!" Was heard in the background as a big fire ball hit the Liagole. "Hurricane!" was also heard in the background as a large and strong wind hit the Liagole. The Liagole got angry and turned towards the direction of his attackers and saw a man standing on the ground as he heard "Bind!" As a large amount of vines came out from the ground and went to bind him. He tried breaking through it as he struggled. It was hard so he burnt it and broke free as he took off to the sky and saw that they were lots of enemies and decided to flea. "Hey I found someone who's seriously injured, we need a healer! Hurry up! He's very close to death" was heard by Natsu as it sounded like a girl. The voice's started fading as Natsu gave up since he had lost all the strength left in him."What's all those commotion, it's like an intruder just arrived" Kazuko thought as she stood up and surrounded herself with wind, after seeing Kenji land in front of the contestants.Once she arrived she saw Gildart and Kenji quarreling and then she heard what Kenji said, "Those two don't need this exam, they're already better than some rookies, plus, they completely annihilated all the beast in the hidden room. They should be applying to be apprentices not some rookie hunters""What!?" Kazuko said silently while everyone screamed as she then looked at Natsu and Yami with a thought in her mind, "With Yami it's possible, but why do I feel like it's that kid's fault""That explains why we weren't attacked by any beast and saw only weird magic seals" Kagahma said as everyone related to it, except Kazuko."We could barely defeat one and yet this boys defeated a lot of them, just how strong are this two to defeat all those beasts" Koda thought as he im
"What's taking those boys so long! Time is almost up and everyone's already here. I just hope those boys aren't taking their sweet time to finish this exam, cause if they are, I'll make them regret it." Gildart murmured as he was waiting for them.After a while passed, he checked his wrist watch and pondered angrily as he screams, "Ahhhhh! More time has passed and they aren't still here. Damnit, I'm starting to get pissed off just by thinking about the time they're wasting.""I need to calm down, breathe Gildart breathe. Inhale, and exhale. Oh yeah... once those boys get here, I'll give them a piss of my mind, and not just that, I'll give them a brutal punishment that'll make them always want to finish on time! Yes, that's what I need to do, no, that's what I'll do, those boys are in for a lifetime of suffering in this exams!" Gildart murmured to himself as a smirk curled across his face, slowly twisting into a sinister cackle."I really feel for those kid
As the sheath was rotating in the air, Natsu and Yami brain stormed of a way to survive since the boss expression was truly intimidating.Immediately the sheath landed, Natsu and Yami put all their energy into jumping back and luckily for them, they dodged it with a close call as the fear of death gripped them."I couldn't even see him, it was like he focused everything on killing us in an instant" Yami thought as Natsu shouted, "That was close! We would have been dead by now if we didn't move back""Yeah, I can relate, this fight isn't going to be easy" Yami said as Natsu looked at him seeing the goldish armor that covered his whole body."Hey Yami, I'm sorry about this but I don't think I can fight this guy head on, he'll decapitate me before I even know what's happening. This means that you'll have to fight him on your own, although I'll support you, it would be from a distance so that I don't die" Natsu said with a concerned expression.
Natsu's rope brought his bow as he reached for the quiver bringing out an arrow to shoot at him."That isn't going to work!" the boss said as he then remembered the previous incident with the arrow."Hope he doesn't think I'll fall for the same trick twice" the boss thought as Natsu fired it.He quickly moved towards them but the smirk on Natsu's face made him back off as Natsu said in disappointment, "Damnit, he didn't fall for it. Your pretty skilled, I thought you would attack us since we were open but you must have figured out my plan" as he thought in relief, "Guess faking I had a plan really worked""I'm sure you don't know who I am, but do you think I won't notice" the boss said as he thought, "I don't know what he was planning on doing, but he doesn't know how to hide his expression. Although, it's also possible he was bluffing. Dealing with him is going to be a pain""Hold up, am I missing something? What are they talking about?"

Natsu and Yami has arrived at the place where Kazuko saw the boss as they both moved really fast with Yami backing Natsu and running as Natsu catapulted them using his rope. Yami noticed a broken door and said, "This should be a boss room, but it looks like someone already cleared it" "Yeah, but we need to get to a place where we can hide so we can battle the man as equals. If we do that, I'm sure we would be able to defeat that man since it's two against one" Natsu said as Yami subconsciously said, "It's impossible to defeat that man! I mean... Sorry..." "I get it... I know how you feel, but it's not impossible to defeat him. Well... We might not be able to defeat him on our own, but at least we can hold up and try to carry him to where everyone is. If everyone works together, I'm sure we would be able to defeat him" Natsu said as Yami thought, "He has a point. If we can hold him off till we get to where Mr Gildart is, I'm sure he'll be in big trouble, plus, Mr Damian would also be
