Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

"That's not the reason..."

Gray clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Mirajane dispersed the magic gathered in her hands and looked back in confusion.

"This Zero Emperor... is my senior brother! I have a reason to fight him."

Gray and Mirajane exchanged glances, Gray trying to persuade Mirajane.

"This is... a matter for our sect, and it must be resolved by me!"

Mirajane frowned: "Are you serious? You know, we can solve all this in a very short time, why bother with all that trouble?"

"I told you! This is a battle I had to face!"

[Gray stared intently at Zero, or rather... at Leon!]

"To help my misguided senior brother see himself clearly, I have to do it myself."

Mirajane slowly lowered her hand.

"Alright, but as a Fairy Tail mage, if you lose..."

Mirajane's face suddenly turned violent.

"I'll make you regret your decision today!"

"Don't worry, I won't lose, in every respect..."

Gray took a deep breath, unleashing all the magic power within him.

"I absolutely cannot lose!"

Mirajane has left.

Once again, only Gray and Leon remained in the same spot.

Perhaps it was Mirajane's disappearance that made Leon silently breathe a sigh of relief.

[I was quite surprised by the ridiculously strong woman who just appeared.]

However, Leon found Gray's choice somewhat amusing.

"You don't actually think you can beat me, do you?"

"Since things have come to this point, it has to be done, otherwise I'll be tarnishing Fairy Tail's reputation, and those monsters will kill me."

Gray smiled and straightened up.

[He beckoned to Leon: "Come on, Leon, I'll stop you!"]

"Grey!" Leon's face contorted in rage!

"I've surpassed Uru, and Deliora is the only one who can prove it, so... don't even think about stopping me!"

[The top of the ruins.]

The masked man who launched this horrific attack was panting heavily as he stared ahead.

"Did it...do it work?"

That last attack almost completely drained most of his magic power.

[I imagine... even those beings wouldn't have an easy time, would they?]

[After all, I'm not weak myself; even a Saint Ten powerhouse, I could rival him.]

But often, the reality is despairing!

[Amidst the aftershocks of the explosion, the masked man could keenly sense that the temperature was rising linearly.]

[Whew~~~]

The roaring flames suddenly erupted, engulfing all the hundreds of magic crystals.

[The next moment, amidst the flames.]

The crystal shattered once more, this time leaving not even fragments, instantly vanishing into nothingness amidst the intense flames.

【boom! ! ! 】

The next moment, a sudden explosion rang out again.

A dark shadow suddenly shot up from the center.

The speed was so great that it even created a sonic boom in mid-air.

[They were almost there... the masked man had absolutely no time to react.]

[In those wide-open pupils, the image of Black Natsu's outstretched hand was reflected.]

[It grabbed him directly on the cheek.]

[Click...]

The sturdy mask seemed unable to withstand such immense force and shattered instantly.

[The man's face was revealed, showing utter terror.]

Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt his body being lifted into the air by that ordinary-looking hand.

[Then, he was slammed hard onto the floor.]

Even its short stature bounced twice.

The sturdy floorboards shattered instantly, and unimaginable pain flooded the masked man's mind in a flash.

Their mouths involuntarily opened, and an unknown liquid gushed out.

The cry of pain was choked back by a liquid resembling blood.

[He could only let out a sobbing sound.]

[Honatsu stands in front of the masked man, hands in his pockets.]

[Muttering aloud:]

"Aren't you going to show yourself yet, Ultear!"

The masked man's pupils contracted rapidly. So... he was found out after all?

But before she could respond, Hazen had already raised his right foot.

"Then I'll force you into your transformation."

【"No……"】

[Ultear was about to speak when, in the next instant, a merciless foot stomped directly on her abdomen.]

【"Ugh~~~"】

The already cracked floor shattered completely under this blow.

[Ultear, who had been smashed into rocks of varying sizes and struck head-on, nearly lost consciousness and plummeted downwards.]

The terrifying roar once again resonated throughout the entire ruins.

Watching Ultear plummet towards the lower levels, Henna didn't hesitate for a moment, lightly touching the ground with his foot.

[He jumped downwards along with Ultear.]

Click...click...

The air was filled with the crisp sound of stones hitting the floor.

Ultear, who had been knocked down from the top floor, lay helplessly amidst a pile of rubble.

The short man's transformation had been forcibly reversed, and his once graceful figure was now covered in wounds.

Blood stained the hem of his clothes.

She struggled to lift her head, staring in horror at the figure slowly descending from above.

For the first time, Ultear felt that the word "monster" was so clear.

[Just like now, she is facing... a genuine, terrifying monster!]

Chapter 211 Resurrection?! How is that possible?!

[The top of the ruins.]

Staring at the enormous crater before her, Sera prepared to catch up with Hanaz.

But just then, an inexplicable tremor interrupted her actions.

[Take out the portable communication magic crystal that you've been carrying.]

[Then I immediately saw Mavis's image flashing.]

"Oh no, I forgot to report..."

Sera's eye twitched; she had been so excited following Black Natsu that she had forgotten someone else was constantly concerned about the situation here.

Without hesitation, Sera quickly connected to the magic crystal communication.

The next moment, Mavis's anxious face appeared on the communication screen.
