Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 314 This isn't Ice-Making Magic at all! (Please subscribe!)

"Go for it, Gray! Beat him!"

Leon and Gray, the two brothers, were fighting, while Happy cheered for Gray from the sidelines, his shouts echoing in the cold cave.

Harpy's small body huddled tightly against Moen's broad back. With this solid "wall" in place, he naturally didn't have to worry about being affected.

Across from them, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby stood there tensely, their eyes filled with hesitation and fear. Happy blinked his round eyes, certain that no one would target a cat, so he could loudly cheer for his companions.

"boom!"

"Kakaka!"

In the center of the battlefield, Leon and Gray, the two brothers, were locked in fierce combat. Every violent collision between their "Ice Shape Magic" spells was accompanied by deafening roars and piercing cracking sounds of ice.

Countless tiny ice crystals swirled and collided in the swirling vortex of magic between the two, and a bone-chilling cold surged and spread rapidly, covering every inch of the cave. Thicker and thicker frost condensed on the stone walls, and even the air became thick and cold, with each breath bringing out a clearly visible white mist.

If Moen hadn't moved the colossal "Deliora" away beforehand, freeing up this relatively open battle space, the already limited cave area probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the full force of the two "Ice-Shaped Mages".

The "Ice Shaping Magic" is quite powerful in modifying the properties of the terrain. Not long after the battle began, the ground was already covered with a smooth, transparent ice floor. Reflected by the ice crystals condensed on the walls, the entire cave shimmered with a cold, eerie blue light.

This environment was a piece of cake for Gray and Leon, but it posed a considerable challenge to everyone else, including Natsu, Lucy, and the three on the other side: Sherry, Yuuka, and Toby.

"Hey! Aren't you three going to get up here yet?!"

Looking at the man, woman, and "dog" opposite him, Natsu roared loudly. The flames on his body suddenly surged, and the orange-red flames greedily licked the cold air, making crackling sounds.

Watching Gray and Leon's battle made Natsu as excited as a volcano about to erupt. The scorching heat directly dispelled the cold mist around him, and he could hardly contain himself.

However, facing the man, woman, and "dog" opposite them, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby exchanged uneasy glances, their steps seemingly frozen in place, none of them showing any intention to step forward, their faces filled with hesitation and retreat.

Sherry's fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her short skirt, Toby's dog ears twitched nervously, and Yuka tried her best to maintain a serious posture with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were darting around.

Natsu's eyes widened at the three men's reactions. Were these people really so honorable? Did they really have to fight one-on-one, one-on-one? Were they willing to just stand there staring at each other until then?

Moen had naturally noticed the strange reactions of these three people long ago. His gaze fell on the three of them, each of whom was quite distinctive.

The girl had long pink hair, blue eyes, and wore pink lipstick. She was a fair-skinned beauty dressed sexily in a black short dress and black over-the-knee high-heeled leather boots, with two white feathers on the back of her dress.

The boy had blue hair combed back like a Saiyan. He had his hands behind his back, wore a green training uniform, had thick eyebrows, and a serious expression, looking like a master.

As for that "dog," it only looks like a dog, much like Erza's friend "Catgirl" Miriam, with dog ears and a dog face, but it is actually a human.

"Let me think... these three people seem to be mages from the Serpent Scale faction?"

Moen quickly matched the three together. All three were mages from the "Snake Scale" faction, and the "blue-haired expert" was quite famous, known as "Wave" Yuuka.

"Huh? Why are the mages from Boa Hancock's Scale here? Did they take on a mission too? Wait, aren't they with this Leon?! What's going on?!"

Hearing Moen's words, Lucy was completely stunned. Was Leon being orchestrated by the "Snake Scales"?! What kind of bizarre turn of events was this?!

"."

Sherry, Yuka, and Toby all stiffened upon hearing the name "Snake Princess Scale." They quickly exchanged glances, each seeing an overwhelming sense of panic and despair in the other's eyes.

They never expected that the matter would alarm a mage of Moen's caliber. Why would a powerhouse of that level be here? Their affair shouldn't have spread, right? Why would a cursed Galna Island warrant the involvement of Moen?!
"I think they came on their own."

Looking at Sherry, Yuka, and Toby, Moen's lips curled into a knowing smile. His gaze was sharp, easily seeing through the barely concealed guilt beneath Sherry and the other two's feigned composure.

How could they possibly be sent by "Snake Princess Scale" with such a timid and hesitant demeanor? This is clearly a private matter that the three of them came on their own, not official business of "Snake Princess Scale".

"Damn it! Why would anyone do something like this?!"

Natsu glared angrily at Sherry, Yuuka, and Toby, loudly demanding, "Why are you releasing Deliora, a demon from a reputable and legitimate magic guild? This is a demon! A demon burdened with countless sins!"
"Is this Leon also a mage from the Serpent Scale faction?"

Flying beside Moen, Happy asked somewhat bewilderedly. None of them had expected that they would end up fighting with another legitimate mage guild when they came on a mission.

"No! Leon is not a mage of the Serpent Scale!"

This time, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby shouted it out almost in unison, their voices sounding somewhat shrill due to their urgency.

The three of them talked at once, explaining rapidly, eager to distance Leon from "Snake Princess Scale" and not wanting this matter to be associated with "Snake Princess Scale".

The three's affection for the guild was obvious. They knew that with Moen's prestige and strength, if he believed that this matter was related to "Snake Princess Scales", it would bring unimaginable trouble to the guild. Just thinking about the consequences made them shudder and feel sorry for everyone in the guild and for the guild leader, Granny Oba Barbasoma.

"boom!!!"

Before the group could exchange more than a few words, Gray and Leon were already locked in a fierce battle, each employing every trick in the book, making the fight increasingly intense.

"Ice Form - White Tiger!"

Leon rolled on the ground, then suddenly swung his hand. A majestic, fanged white tiger roared and pounced fiercely at Gray, accompanied by biting wind and snow!

"boom!"

However, Leon was met with an incredibly fast and powerful blow. Before the Frost Tiger could even fully display its majestic form, it was blasted into countless shimmering ice crystal fragments amidst a deafening explosion.

This devastating scene left Leon's eyes bloodshot. At this moment, his helmet was nowhere to be seen, his face was covered with ice shards and sweat, and his clothes were torn in many places, making him look extremely disheveled.

Leon couldn't accept that Gray's strength had far surpassed his own. His previous arrogance and confidence vanished, leaving only an unbelievable sense of defeat, which he was unwilling to face.

"Leon! Wake up! You're too stubborn, too obstinate! You say I don't listen to Uru, but actually you're the most disobedient one! Have you forgotten the drawbacks of using shape magic with one hand?! Uru has emphasized so many times that you must use both hands, but you just wouldn't listen. That's why you can't beat me!" Easily shattering the ice tiger, Gray's figure appeared in the icy mist. He shouted loudly, recalling Uru's teachings, trying to use past memories to bring Leon to his senses.

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Is that Ice Shape magic?! I don't remember Uru ever teaching me anything like that?!"

However, Leon was unmoved, nor was he touched by Gray's words. He did not recall the days when he and Gray studied under Ul's tutelage, because Gray was not using "Ice Shape Magic" to fight him at this moment!
"Your armor and your weird fist techniques... what kind of Ice Shape magic is that?! I've never seen Ice Shape magic before!"

Leon stared at Gray. He was 100% certain that these things were not taught by Uru. He had become a disciple of Gray before Gray, and after Gray became a disciple, the three of them had always relied on each other. There was no reason why he wouldn't know something that Gray knew.

At this moment, Gray was wearing the "Cygnus Suit," had just performed the "Swan Dance," and shattered the icy white tiger with the "Diamond Star Fist." Star magic surrounded his body, and he had indeed not used the "Ice Shape Magic," but rather the cheating "Cygnus Suit."

Leon's words made Gray look embarrassed, but he quickly recovered.

"Cough, I can defeat you with Ice Shape magic just as well. Your Ice Shape magic has too many problems. It's not stable enough to use with one hand, and it's not sensitive enough to control."

Gray spoke with great confidence, and it was indeed true.

He used the "Cygnus Suit" simply to defeat Leon more quickly. He could defeat Leon just by using "Ice Shape Magic" without using the power of "Cygnus," it would just take a little more effort.

Under Moen's tutelage, Gray's strength naturally far surpasses that of Leon, who trained alone. Even without Moen, Gray, who fought Natsu every day in Fairy Tail, would definitely have grown faster than Leon.

As Uru's disciple, Leon naturally has talent, but Gray's talent and effort are both superior.

Gray has been growing up with King Moen for the past ten years, and the intensity of his training over the past decade is beyond what Leon can imagine.

"Shameless talk!"

Leon roared angrily, and then began to cast "Ice Shape Magic" once again.

"Ice Design - Cannon!"

This time, Gray directly retaliated against Leon with "Ice Shape Magic". Although he was supposed to use magic as a counterattack, Gray completed the shape before Leon. The cannon in his hand fired an ice cannon, which directly hit the shocked Leon.

"boom!!!"

Before Leon could finish his pose, he was hit directly. The huge impact slammed him against the cave wall, and the entire cave seemed to shake as a result.

"puff!"

Leon coughed up blood and fell off the rock wall, lying motionless on the ground like a tattered rag doll discarded on the ground. He had been knocked unconscious by the cannon shot.

It was only because Gray deliberately held back that this shot would have been more than just knocking him unconscious. Leon, already in a sorry state, couldn't have withstood Gray's full-force attack and might have died instantly.

"Leon!"

Seeing Leon "fall down", Sherry, Yuuka, and Toby couldn't care less about upholding the honor of "Snake Scale" for a moment. They immediately ran over to check on Leon's physical condition.

"Phew~ I'm still alive."

After confirming Leon's physical condition, Sherry visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately glared angrily at Gray.

"You guy!!!"

Sherry was enraged. She stretched out her hands, and the ground surged. A monster that looked like a slime emerged, and under Sherry's control, the monster immediately charged towards Gray.

"Shirley! Don't be impulsive!"

Yuka called out, trying to stop Sherry, but it was clear that Sherry, who harbored a secret crush on Leon, wouldn't listen to him. Sherry was determined to teach Gray a lesson.

"Are we really going to fight the people from Fairy Tail?"

Toby's ears drooped as he hesitantly asked Yuka, who still had her hands behind her back. He noticed that Yuka's hands were trembling, and it was clear that Yuka's composure was just an act.

"There's absolutely no chance of winning!"

Yuka gritted his teeth and spoke the absolute truth. His gaze fell on Moen, who was still standing leisurely to the side. If Moen hadn't been there, he would have attacked without hesitation, but in the current situation, he had no idea how to win!
"boom!"

A fiery red figure suddenly darted out. Natsu, who had been holding back for a long time, unleashed a "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist," smashing the mud monster to pieces. Surging flames burned on his body.

"They've finally made their move! Come on! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"

Natsu roared, his face filled with excited fighting spirit, and charged towards Sherry. Sherry was too fast to react.

"Boom!!!"

At the critical moment, Yuuka rushed forward and blocked Natsu's attack.

A wall of magic blocked his way, extinguishing Natsu's flaming fist. His "Dragon Slayer Magic" simply vanished!

"What's happening here?!"

Gray, Lucy, and Happy were all taken aback. This seemingly thin and weak, gentle Yuuka had so easily deflected Natsu's attack, as if it were effortless.

"This"

Natsu was also completely bewildered. When he hit the magic wall, his fists seemed to lose all power, and all the magic disappeared. This was a completely different feeling from facing Moen's "Crystal Wall".
