## Spoilers

During the story arc where Laxus is putting on his "entertainment" for the
festival, it is revealed that...

> He is a Dragon Slayer

After this Natsu and others seem to be more worried about him. Maybe it is
just me, but it seemed similar to Goku going Super Saiyan or something.

Why does being a Dragon Slayer seem to make the situation worse?

Why is being a Dragon Slayer a big deal?


You are asking two questions. Number one is...

> Why is being a Dragon Slayer a big deal?

And Number Two is...

> Why does being a Dragon Slayer seem to make the situation worse?

Dragon Slayers are a unique type of people who utilize a form of Lost Magic,
Dragon Slayer Magic. It was a big deal that Laxus was a dragon slayer
because...

> It is uncommon for someone to utilise a lost magic or to be a Dragon Slayer
> and for Natsu it could have been a perfect opportunity to ask if he had been
> raised by a dragon and if he knew where Igneel was.

Your other question however why does a dragon slayer seem to make a situation
worse. I am going to answer this question based on the Fighting Festival Arc.
I am not sure what you mean but ill tack a guess at this...

Dragon Slayers did not make the situation worse, they simply could not help
due to Frieds [Jutsu Shiki](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Jutsu_Shiki) which
prevented Natsu, Gajeel and The Master from participating in the carnival and
freeing the girls who were turned to stone by Ever Green.

Before the Laxus's entertainment arc, it was unknown what type of magic he
had. Normally all mages in fairy tail have a limit to how much magic they can
use.

For eg- Capricorn helps Lucy to increase her magic stamina.

But the only exception to this rule are the dragon slayers who learnt their
magic from dragons and gain their power by eating their element.

For eg- Natsu eats fire, Gazeel eats iron and Wendy eats air.

Now during the fight with Laxus, Natsu an Gazeel are unable to fight him as he
is too overpowered. But they must be hoping that Laxus will eventually lose
his magic stamina and then they can beat him. But then it was disclosed Laxus
is a Lightening Dragon Slayer. That makes him completely invincible as he can
gain his power by just eating his element and can battle continuously. And
that would make the situation worse.
