Chapter 40

"So you've known it all along!!!" Gray jumped up from the ground angrily and punched Leo, making him retreat repeatedly!

"What? How is it possible! He was so seriously injured...."Leo looked at Gray in surprise. He didn't expect that Gray, who was seriously injured, still had the strength to beat him up.

"I've reached my limit... I'm advising you to reach your limit!" Gray shouted, and an ice bow appeared in his hand. Gray put three ice arrows on the bow. The bow was fully strung, and the three ice arrows attacked Leo like flying swords out of their sheaths!

Leo hastily put down an ice shield to block it, but unfortunately the temporary one was not as powerful as the accumulated one. Leo's ice shield was broken in an instant, and all of Gray's attacks hit Leo, knocking him out again.

Leo was about to fight back, but as soon as he raised his head, he was kicked in the face by Gray and flew out again.

Gray angrily chased after Leo who was knocked out, and started punching and kicking him madly. , completely gave up the use of magic, and soon, Leo was beaten all over by Gray.

Leo finally got away from Gray's beating, panting and struggling to stand up with the help of the wall. He looked at Gray angrily. He didn't expect that he would be beaten to a pulp by the junior brother he always looked down on.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He decided not to hold back and used two-thirds of his magic power to create an ice dragon. The ice dragon entangled and hit Gray crazily, and finally flew into the sky with Gray on his back and threw Gray down hard!

"I originally wanted to keep him to fight Deliora, but now I'll get rid of you, the troublemaker!"Leo grinned angrily, he wanted to tear Gray to pieces.

"Ahem...I...won't let you go..."Gray trembled and struggled to stand up

"So what, while you are still lying here, the Moon Drop Ceremony has already started!"Leo laughed wildly

"Just like you believe in your companions, I also believe in Natsu, he can definitely do it!"Gray stood up and shouted towards Leo

"So what? Do you feel the vibration? That's the ritual going on! Do you know how long I've been waiting? I've been looking for partners and information for the past ten years before I found this island!"

Leo waved at Gray, and a group of ice blades stabbed directly at Gray from the ground. Gray used an ice ball to block the blades' attack.

"I moved Deliora here three years ago, and it took me three years to melt the ice. You tell me to give up now?!"Leo angrily continued to use magic to attack Gray.

"You actually spent three years doing this boring thing?" Gray dodged Leo's attack with difficulty.

"What did you say?! Boring?!"Gray's words angered Leo again, and he frantically made ice animals and kept smashing them at Gray,"You, who have only been free in the guild for ten years, are not worthy of saying this!"

Gray kept defending Leo's attacks with his body, staring at Leo and said,"I just believed what Uru said, and went to the country in the west, and indeed found many powerful wizards, so I entered Fairy Tail. The president of that guild is one of the strongest in the world. He once told me that absolute freezing turns the caster's body and will into a piece of ice that never melts, and the moment the ice melts is the moment the caster dies."

Gray looked at Leo angrily:"I didn't expect that the one who wanted to kill her was her eldest disciple. This is so disappointing!"

Leo was stunned for a moment, sneered and said,"Whatever you say, I live for this moment today!"

"This is my first and only chance to surpass Uru. Just think about it, I easily destroyed the monster that Uru couldn't defeat. Isn't this a great thing?"

Leo rushed straight towards Gray. A wolf's shadow appeared on his fist. The moment he hit Gray, he instantly turned into an ice wolf and pounced on Gray.

"You say you want to surpass Uru without knowing anything, you bastard is a million years too early!"

Gray turned sideways to avoid Leo's attack, and instantly formed a two-handed sword in his hand. Holding the sword, he twisted his waist and cut Leo in half. The next second, Leo, who was cut in half, turned into ice cubes. The real power was Ou appeared behind him, with a lot of magic in his hands.

"ICEMAKE·White tiger!"

"ICEMAKE·Cage!"

A giant tiger made of ice attacked Gray. Gray jumped up and flipped backwards. On the way, he put his hands together and released a huge ice cage to lock the ice tiger.

"Humph, this small cage can't control it, break it for me!" Leo confidently commanded the ice tiger to smash the cage, but found that it couldn't be broken at all. He couldn't help but shout in surprise,"What? How is it possible!"

"Do you remember Uru's guidance? One-handed modeling magic has poor balance and cannot be used to its full potential at critical moments!"

"ICEMAKE·Ice and snow cannon!"

Gray jumped down from the cage. The moment he landed, a huge blue cannon appeared on his shoulder. As Gray activated his magic, Leo was hit hard by the ice and snow cannon.

"G...G...Lei..."Leo fell to the ground with serious injuries, and Gray finally couldn't bear the pain and knelt down.

After the conversation was divided, something happened on Natsu's side.

Natsu, who finally caught up with Sarudilli, was surprised to find that he had actually chased him into the cave where Deliora was hidden. Moreover, the ceremony had been going on for a long time, and the ice that had frozen Deliora began to slowly freeze. Dissolve!

Natsu wanted to rush forward and interrupt the ceremony, but was constantly blocked by Saludili. This made Natsu realize that he had to deal with the old masked man in front of him first.

Seeing that one of Deliora's arms had been melted out, Natsu anxiously ignited flames and punched Sarudilli.

Saludili dodged easily, and at the same time said to Natsu playfully:"Alala, if you attack me with fire magic here, the ice will melt faster."

Natsu remained unmoved, his arms His feet lit up with flames and he kicked towards Saludili crazily. He looked at him coldly and said,"If it was so easy to be melted by the flames, you wouldn't have spent so much time working here. I just want to kill him quickly." You defeat him and then take care of the guy above, and that's it."

"Oh oh oh, you are quite smart and flexible, Mr. Fire Dragon!"Sarudia never attacked, but kept dodging Natsu's attacks, which resulted in Natsu just constantly destroying stones but unable to do anything to him.

""Stay~" A harsh, unpleasant and disgusting sound suddenly sounded, and Natsu, who was constantly attacking Saludili, had to stop and cover his ears to resist the sound.

The sound spread throughout the ruins, and he was about to prepare Gray's face changed as he took a break to bandage his wounds. He knew it was the devil's voice:"Did you still not catch up in the end? Damn it, then let me put an end to this!"

Gray held the wound firmly and slowly walked towards Deliora's location step by step. Leo behind him also disappeared at some point.

Toby, who was on top of the ruins, had just sprinkled all the moon drops on Daly. Euler's body was waiting for Deliora to revive, and he was knocked unconscious in the next second.

Raphael took back the hand that knocked out Toby, looked at Deliora under the hole, and couldn't help but sigh. After taking a breath, Natsu turned around and called Lucy to gather at Deliora.

After finally recovering, Natsu looked at Deliora who had half of his body completely unsealed, and was even more anxious to find Saludili quickly. After getting rid of him, the next second he was hit in the face by a crystal ball and was knocked away.

"I have to hurry up too, Lord Fire Dragon!" Sarudili's smile never changed. He waved his hand to recall the crystal ball and then continued to smash it towards Natsu in an arcing trajectory!

"Just what I wanted!"

Natsu was excited, and he smashed the crystal ball with one punch. He turned around and was about to rush forward to knock Sarudili away, but the crystal ball instantly recovered and continued to hit Natsu!

Natsu couldn't dodge in time, and was hit in the abdomen by the crystal ball and dragged into the sky by the crystal ball. Natsu struggled to get rid of the crystal ball and landed steadily on the rubble. He looked at the crystal ball with an unsightly expression:"It's actually... recovered?!"

"My magic is the ability to control the time of objects, which means I can make the crystal ball go back to before it was destroyed. Now let me show you other abilities and see how this crystal ball can attack you in the future."

Natsu was wondering, but he was hit by the crystal ball several times in an instant, and he couldn't even effectively defend himself.

"How could there be such magic?..."Natsu punched the crystal ball with all his might, and the next second the crystal ball continued to recover and hit Natsu's head."But from my observation just now, your magic seems to have no effect on the human body."

"Observe carefully. My magic is called Arc of Time. Its only drawback is that it is ineffective against living things, so I can only use external force to slowly melt the ice that Uru has turned into."

Sarudili said with his hands slumped, and gave Natsu a ball.

"You guys, I really don't understand you guys, is this your only purpose to revive this guy and then let Leo defeat him? Don't you think it's like playing house with a child?"

Natsu ducked his head to avoid the attack of the crystal ball, and broke the crystal ball again, and asked him puzzledly

"Do you really think that little brat can defeat Deliora? Don't be ridiculous, only your Titan can defeat him, but that monster is immortal, so it's useless to defeat him!"Sarudili waved his hand to restore the crystal ball and flew towards Natsu again.

"Isn't that even worse?!" Natsu dodged the crystal ball in annoyance, turned around, grabbed the crystal ball and threw it at Saludili.

"Bad? No, that's perfect. Immortality doesn't mean it can't be controlled. My goal is to control it! Own it! Create a continuous stream of power flowing towards me!"Sarudili stopped the crystal ball flying towards him and laughed crazily!

"You have been annoying from the beginning, and you have injured so many people and even destroyed the island for such a boring purpose. I can't stand it anymore!"Natsu was furious. He jumped up with all his strength and ignited a huge flame to hit Saludili.

Saludili sneered and waved his arms. More crystal balls from different timelines appeared and hit Natsu.

Natsu did not dodge, but increased the radiation of the flame, instantly shattering all the crystal balls and producing a lot of smoke.

""What...what?" For the first time, Sarudili showed a surprised expression. Then the next second, Natsu appeared from the smoke and punched Sarudili hard.

At this moment, Deliora's ice cubes also melted completely.

Deliora, resurrected!
