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

In addition to this, there is another function: storage space.

Simply put, this is essentially a dressing-up space; however, this physical space naturally can't compare to the spaces created by dressing-up mages themselves.

The loading and unloading process takes a relatively long time.

[It also has drawbacks such as unstable spatial relationships, which is why Hanatsu rarely uses this ability.]

However, since we need to reclaim the water that Uru's body transformed into, this is the perfect solution.

[After issuing the command telepathically to Sera above the ruins.]

Sera immediately urged the masked men to continue the Moon Drop ritual.

[Soon afterward, the purple moonlight slanted down again, illuminating the enormous ice crystal in the darkness before them.]

[It seems this is because it has absorbed enough moonlight.]

[As the light from the moon's droplet shone once more upon the ice crystals.]

The ice, which was said to never melt, began to melt gradually at this moment.

The water flowed downwards along the ice crystals.

[Then they were drawn inside the unfolding spatial rift.]

Not far away, Henna simply watched this scene unfold silently.

[Watch... Deliora gradually recover!]

[Tap tap...]

Slow footsteps sounded behind him.

Henna turned his head to look at the figure that had appeared behind him.

That's Gray, but he looks rather disheveled right now.

Not long ago, his battle with Leon also came to a conclusion.

Unsurprisingly, Gray won the battle.

[This exploits the weakness of Leon's arrogance, which allows him to cast spells with only one hand, resulting in unstable magic.]

[He successfully defeated Leon, but in return, Gray also reached his limit.]

"Natsu? What are you doing?"

Gray's gaze passed over Henna and landed on the melting ice crystals.

My heart sank instantly!

"Why didn't you stop it, Deliora... it's about to revive!!"

Most of the ice had melted, revealing Deliora's strong upper body.

[At this moment, Deliora's eyes lit up, the crimson light seemingly reminding Gray of the town years ago, shrouded in flames and despair.]

Blood flowed through the town, and cries became the dominant theme of that day.

On that very day, Gray lost both his parents.

Because of Deliora, he became a completely helpless orphan.

【roar----!!!】

The roar unique to Deliora reverberated throughout the ruins.

Visibly, the earth trembled violently at the roar.

It was as if they were venting their pent-up frustrations that had been sealed away for so many years.

Deliora's roars were incessant, seemingly without end.

He covered his ears tightly.

Gray's body was trembling; he was afraid, terrified!

[Yes, after all, it was someone who killed his parents and took his master's life. How could he not be afraid?]

My fist clenched involuntarily.

Deliora's terror almost made Gray forget how to think.

My mind is filled with images of Deliora's despairing figure from that time, just like it is now!

"There's... no other way... that's the only option left..."

Gray, head bowed, kept muttering something to himself.

Then, his bewildered gaze gradually hardened.

"Yes! That's right!"

"We absolutely cannot allow Deliora to revive again; we have no choice but to... use that method!"

"Use... Absolutely Ice Clean!"

"Heh... Hahaha!!" Just as Gray made up his mind.

A weak laugh echoed through the space.

"Deliora...that's Deliora..." Leon, supporting himself against the wall, struggled to walk in.

Clearly, the fight had left Leon struggling even to stand.

However, Leon seemed oblivious to the pain, his eyes filled with excitement as he gazed at Deliora's massive form before him!

"Leon?" Gray called softly.

However, Leon ignored Gray completely and limped towards Deliora.

[Muttering to himself, "Finally... finally I've seen you... Deliora!"]

"I'll take down this guy...to surpass Uru!"

"If I can beat you, I can surpass Uru, hahaha... hahahaha!!"

Leon, like a deranged madman, walked up to Deliora.

[He was yelling frantically at Deliora.]

【Ohh ...

[In response to Leon was an even more terrifying roar, echoing through this brief moment.]

The sheer force of his roar sent Leon, who was as thin as a sheet of paper, flying and slamming him heavily to the ground.

"Damn it... you bastard..."

Leon struggled to get up.

But Gray immediately stopped him.

"This guy... I'll leave him to me!"

Gray put Leon down and then walked ahead alone.

Seemingly understanding Gray's plan, Leon shouted angrily.

"Gray! You bastard, come back here! Come back here!!"

Gray ignored them and continued moving forward with difficulty.

"Damn it, you absolutely can't use that magic, or all my efforts over the years will have been for nothing!!!"

Leon was still screaming at the top of his lungs.

However, Gray, believing himself to be on the verge of despair, offered no response.

[His gaze was fixed intently on the monster before him.]

Slowly raise both hands and cross them in front of you.

"No! You bastard, you absolutely cannot use Absolute Ice!!"

"I...I went through so much trouble to revive Deliora, you can't seal it away again!"

Gray lowered his head and shook it slightly.

"You can't do it, you really can't..."

"Deliora! I will seal him away!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gray suddenly crossed his arms.

A surge of icy magic erupted from his body.

The pale blue light shone on Grena's now resolute face.

【but.】

"I'm telling you, let's put this touching drama on hold for now."

"I was the one who continued this project, so I'll handle it."

"You did this?" Gray whirled around, staring at Henna in disbelief.

Henatsu strode forward and patted Gray on the shoulder.
