I'm not getting what you're saying. Natsu still has magic power, he's just out cold because he had cancer. He didn't die or anything, therefore he wouldn't smell dead, or whatever the fuck. Acnologia counted 8 dragon slayers; the 8th was God Serena. We clearly know he is counting second generation from this, and we have 3 first, 2 more second, and 2 third generations. This equals 7 dragon slayers. Invel has some other form of magic. Whether it's Slayer or not I don't give a damn, but it's not Dragon Slayer, otherwise Acnolofia would have said 8 left, thus raising the question as to who the eighth was. However, this didn't happen.
