Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"Hiss—" Yefrit pulled her foot out of the pit. Lucy's strength was getting more and more outrageous!

“Let’s go.” Yefrit pulled out a card and slapped it on Melty’s mouth, saying, “You brat, go find your parents.”

"Uuuuuu——"

Melty struggled frantically, but was completely powerless to resist.

At this time.

Some dark mages have appeared.

"Put down Lady Melty!"

They were shouting.

Yefritte didn't even look, and activated the magic.

'puff'

Everyone collapsed immediately.

Melty was taken aback; this was the first time she had objectively witnessed Yefrit's power.

At that moment, a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

This guy, isn't he ridiculously strong?

Like a vice president.

Did she cause Urutia a lot of trouble?

“Grey.”

Urutia, who was walking, suddenly stopped.

She put Jelf down and looked to the side.

Gray didn't come out immediately, just in case the other party was bluffing him.

“You must have realized it by now, but you just don’t dare to admit it,” Urutia said. “I am Uru’s daughter, Urutia.”

It’s really her!

Gray was shocked; now he had no choice but to come out.

Chapter 177, Gray: I will not stand idly by if anyone tries to hurt Juvia!

"Who is this?"

Jubia looked at Urutia with a wary and scrutinizing gaze.

The other person's happy and touched expression made her feel uneasy, and she had already imagined a long and tragic love story in her mind.

“Ultear. My master’s daughter,” Gray explained, then looked at Ultear with a questioning gaze and said, “But you should be dead, shouldn’t you?”

"Huh?" Ultear frowned slightly. She wanted to ask something, but remembering her purpose, she suppressed the inexplicable emotion and said with a smile, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding. I didn't die. By the way, Gray, is this... your girlfriend? She's a very pretty girl."

"Ah, me...a woman like me..." Juvia blushed instantly, covered her face, put her legs together, and twisted back and forth.

“No,” Gray said directly.

'Ka'

Jubia was instantly petrified.

"You can't say things like that, Gray." Ultear tapped Gray on the head like an older sister.

Looking at Ultear's face, which resembled Uru's, and her gentle smile, Gray was somewhat stunned, and his eyes welled up with tears.

Urudia gently admonished, "Don't say things like that to a girl who likes you. It's hurtful. Unless you don't want her by your side, you should at least make that clear. Don't play with a girl's feelings, understand?"

“That’s not what I meant.” Gray turned to look at Juvia, who looked dejected. He recalled Yefried’s words, then put them out of his mind. One after another, they tried to lecture him, but he knew everything. He wasn’t Natsu!

Gray continued, "But I won't stand idly by if anyone tries to hurt Juvia!"

'smack'

Yefrit clapped his hands and laughed, "Good point, as expected of you, Gray, Loki's best duo partner."

Melty, who was lying on the back of the monster, had her card removed—she had been behaving herself before, so Yefrit had taken the card back. Melty glanced at Yefrit and said, "No wonder you're a companion to that scumbag."

Yefried was speechless: "You have a very deep misunderstanding of me."

Melty gave a soft hum and turned to look at the screen in front of her.

The two of them are heading towards Gray's location.

Urutia smiled.

Juvia, however, was deeply moved and said, "Lord Gray, Juvia will not allow anyone to harm you!"

“However,” Gray said, wanting to take control of the conversation, “why are you here? Are you also from the Heart of the Devil?”

“Hmm.” Ultear nodded and said, “But I have my reasons, Gray.”

She said with deep emotion, "I'm on your side, you have to believe me."

“Believe? Let’s leave that aside for now,” Gray said. “You should know how Uru died, right? Knowing that kind of thing, how can you still say you’re on my side?”

Gray's voice had a hint of self-deprecation.

Even Leo initially blamed him, let alone Uru's daughter, who should hate him even more.

“Of course I know everything.” Ultear reached out and placed her hand on Gray’s head, comforting him. “But Gray, you don’t need to worry about it, because Ultear’s death was not your responsibility.”

Gray was somewhat surprised to see Ultear like this.

Ultear's face showed some sadness as she said, "Ultear died protecting her disciple. Sadness will eventually pass, Gray. I am proud of her, and you should be too."

"." Gray lowered his head.

“Lord Grey.” Juvia took Grey’s arm and looked at him with concern. She had also investigated the matter of Uru and knew that it was a knot in Grey’s heart.

Gray placed a hand on Juvia's hand without pushing it away, a gesture that gave him some comfort and confidence.

Gray looked up at Ultear and saw many of Ul's traits in her. But he was a rational man, and he knew that Ultear was not Ul!

Gray separated the two and said, "Don't be like that. Whether you truly don't care or do care, it doesn't matter to me. But you said you're proud of her, how could you say something like that... Ultear—"

Gray's eyes sharpened, and he demanded sternly, "But what are you doing?!"

"You have no legitimate reason to join the Dark Guild or the Heart of the Devil!"

“And there is no reason to look for Zeref.” Gray glanced at the unconscious Zeref and said, “There is no reason to look for Zeref!”

“Since you know everything, you should understand—” Gray said, “Uru died because of Deliora, and Deliora was created by Zeref!”

Gray grew angrier as he spoke: "But you want to find Zeref and create some grand magical world, a world where most of the world's population disappears. Do you think Uru would approve of that?!"

Gray practically shouted the last sentence.

After Gray finished shouting, Juvia gently stroked down his chest with her hand.

Urudia's expression changed slightly, and she praised, "This girl is very good."

Juvia was not moved by the other party's words this time. Like Gray, she looked at Ultear with questioning eyes.

“Answer my question, Ultear, the focus now is not on me, but on you!” Gray said firmly.

“Gray. Originally, I didn’t want to tell you these things.” Ultear looked somewhat forced and helpless. “You are the younger brother, and as your older sister, I don’t want you to bear these things.”

"Ultear, stop beating around the bush!" Gray's hands were filled with icy magic, and his face grew increasingly grim.

Uru's daughter appeared, and he was overjoyed.

However, he was not one to be indiscriminate in his priorities, and in his view, Urutia was clearly in trouble.

Let's ignore those kind words for now.

The key question is: what exactly does the Devil's Heart want to do? And what does Ultear want to do?

If possible, he wanted to pull Urutia back from the wrong path.

and so--

Playing the emotional card won't work!

“Alright,” Urutia said, “Everything I’ve done is for the will of Uru.”

“What?” Gray frowned.

Uru's lover, Urutia, looked sorrowful and reluctant to speak, but she still made up her mind and said, "My father was killed by Hades!"

"What?!" This news shocked Gray.

Juvia carefully observed Ultear's expression—she was an observer, and even though she wanted to empathize with Gray to prove her love for him, she genuinely felt more sorry for Gray than for Ultear. As an outsider, her woman's intuition told her that Ultear was acting, but no matter how closely she observed, she couldn't find any flaws in Ultear's performance.

Urudia said, "My mother has been secretly investigating the heart of the devil in order to get revenge."

"I learned about these things from my mother's diary after she died."

Ultear's expression hardened, and she said, "So, for revenge, I infiltrated the heart of the devil, but—"

"Hades' strength far exceeds my imagination."

"Uru knew this, which is why he learned Absolute Ice Purity."

“Absolutely Ice!” Gray’s eyes widened; he had very mixed feelings about this magic.

"I failed to learn it," Urudia said with some shame. "Even though Uru's blood flows in my veins,..."

After a brief silence, Ultear hardened her resolve and said, "Of course I know about demons, I know how terrifying Zeref is, and I know how ridiculous that so-called Great Magic World is."

"That's why I need to find Jelf first!"

"As far as I know, only Absolute Ice can defeat Hades. I don't know that magic. I can't defeat him, I can't take revenge, and I can't fulfill Uru's will."

"I can only"

Ultear raised her voice slightly: "Find Zeref first, take him away and seal him somewhere else, a place where Hades will never find the heart of the devil!"

"Then I'll come back and fight him to the death! Even if I can only exchange my life for one of his arms, I will die without regret!"

“Gray,” Ultear said, tears streaming down her face, “this is the limit of what I can do.”

Gray remained silent.
