Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

Chapter 57, Second S-Rank Character Card

Ron yawned as he watched the CG gacha game playing normally in front of him.

He couldn't have any expectations anymore; he could accept even a D-rank character card.

Just then, a brilliant golden light flashed across the screen, leaving Ron stunned on the bird's back, almost blown away by the wind and snow.

Although Ron had given up hope, his lips twitched slightly when he saw that he had finally gotten another gold, but he still managed to smile.

"A miracle happened with a single pull, I actually got a gold one."

As the golden light gradually faded, the final character card was finally revealed.

Card Name: Hitsugaya Toshiro

[World: Bleach]

[Character Ability Level: S-Rank]

[Ability 1: Ice Resistance (C)]

[Effect: Increases the body's resistance to ice and snow-related magic, grants immunity to negative status effects from blizzards and other icy weather conditions, and reduces damage from ice-attribute magic.]

[Ability 2: Ice Attribute Amplification (B)]

[Effect: Provides an amplification to ice and snow magic, increasing the casting speed, range, and power of all the user's ice-attribute spells. Under the influence of an ice and snow climate, the amplification will be doubled again.]

【Ability 3: Barrier Magic - Mirror Door (B)】

[Effect: Creates a defensive barrier, erecting a magical barrier around the target. This advanced barrier can reflect external attacks, but it is easily destroyed from the inside.]

[Ability 4: Weapon Transformation Magic - Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru (S)]

[Effect: Summons a Zanpakuto. When wielding this weapon, the basic ice and snow magic of the Zanpakuto is unlocked, allowing you to unleash ice and snow techniques at will.]

[Ability 5: Swastika·Daiguren Hyōrinmaru (S)]

[Effect: Unleashing Hyōrinmaru will automatically transform the surrounding climate into an icy one. Ice dragon wings, a dragon tail, and ice armor covering the arms will materialize on the body, granting flight mobility, increasing physical resilience and magic output limits, and unlocking further ice magic on the Zanpakutō.]

Ron gasped, his hands flashing a victory gesture.

"Isn't this just in time?"

He actually glanced at the items in the Multiverse Items Library and had a good plan in mind to use it against Deliora.

He was still thinking about how to make the plan more effective. Originally, he planned to use the giant bird and magic clay to circle and attack the undead demon, and then find an opportunity to implement the plan.

Now he doesn't have to worry anymore. With this card, he has basically made up for the shortcomings in his plan and made it even more perfect.

"Now that I have this card, I feel more confident in implementing this plan."

Furthermore, the abilities on Toshiro Hitsugaya's character card are quite good, so he would accept it if this S-rank card could be included in the Phantom God card pool.

Ice resistance is the most important thing in this icy world. Equipping it might save you a lot of magic power and give you more magic power to deal with that demon.

Moreover, he will receive a boost in the future when facing that immortal demon, allowing him to stall him for a considerable amount of time before finally defeating him.

As for Bankai, having the ability to fly is even better, as it saves him the trouble of riding on a giant bird and conserves some magic power.

As for how to choose based on my abilities, I'll decide after everything is over.

After adding [Bleach - Toshiro Hitsugaya] to his Multiverse Items Vault, he didn't plan to settle the Sai character card right now, intending to finish his journey first.

Ron remained seated, maintaining his posture, and looked down at the area below.

Seeing that there was nowhere to stand, Ron shrank back.

Phew~!

The giant bird beneath him seemed to sense Ron's urgency, flapping its wings even more vigorously, speeding towards Blago against the wind and snow.

……

At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, there was a wooden cabin, and at this moment, the windows of the cabin were constantly being battered by the wind and snow.

Just then, the door of the cabin was pushed open forcefully, and the wind and snow took the opportunity to rush into the cabin with a large amount of ice and snow.

Snapped!

An enraged Gray opened the wooden door of the cabin and walked away into the wind and snow.

His face was filled with hatred, and several veins bulged on his forehead from anger.

Now that he has found out Deliora's whereabouts, he must set off to take revenge.

"Gray, are you crazy? You can't possibly beat Deliora."

Leo roared at Gray, trying to stop him from going to his death.

"Stop nagging, no one can persuade me!"

Gray shook off Leo's hand and continued forward without looking back, his steps unaffected by the blizzard, stepping into the ever-growing snow.

Leo looked shocked, not expecting him to be so impulsive as to want to find Deorila regardless of everything.

"This is terrible! I have to tell Uru about this..."

Leo watched Gray speeding away, his face full of anxiety, and finally decided to go down the mountain to find Ur.

“Uru, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to start thinking about your own happiness.”

Uru left the grocery store with a flushed face, carrying a full bag of groceries, ready to go home and cook.

She hadn't expected the landlady to bring up these matters like that; she had no intention of abandoning her apprentice.

"Uru, something terrible has happened!"

Just as Uru was thinking that the landlady was meddling, Leo's voice suddenly came from afar.

She turned around and saw Leo scrambling towards her.

She frowned, sensing a bad premonition.

Leo ran so fast that he didn't even button up his jacket. When he reached Ur's side, he started panting heavily, his breath coming in puffs of white mist.

"Grey, he went to find Deliora!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Wulu's pupils contracted, revealing a panicked expression.

"That idiot, doesn't he know he can't possibly defeat Deliora on his own?!"

Uruk frowned even more. That Deliora was a demon from the Jelf books. Gray hadn't even mastered his own magic yet. Going there would just be suicide!

No wonder that kid didn't say much after hearing the rumors; he was looking for an opportunity to go over!

"Leo, you stay here!"

Urru quickly handed the paper bag he was holding to Leo.

"I'll go and bring Gray back, so he doesn't do anything foolish!"

With that, Urru sprinted away without looking back towards Blago, where Deliora was rumored to have appeared.

Leo watched his master's departing figure, then looked down at the ingredients in his hands, a determined look in his eyes.

Holding the ingredients, he followed the chef's direction, ready to stop Gray together.

Chapter 58 Absolutely Frozen!

As night approached, the blizzard in the northern continent intensified. On this land that should have been covered in ice and snow, there was a town that stood out from the rest of the landscape.

A raging fire is engulfing a small town near Blago, its flames ravaging the surrounding snow and turning the sky and ground a crimson hue.

"Roar!!!"

In the small town that was about to become ruins, a huge demon nearly ten meters tall was wreaking havoc everywhere.

With a casual swing, it smashed the clock tower, and the broken top fell to the ground and immediately shattered into pieces of brick.

Wherever the giant foot landed, it left huge footprints, including the remains of many houses, which were all reduced to nothing.

High on a snow-capped mountain several kilometers from the town, a group of residents who had received advance warning and fled gathered.

"It's ruined, everything is ruined..."

The residents sat slumped helplessly on the snow, forced to watch their homeland vanish into nothingness.

Even a powerful mage cannot stop the embodiment of calamity before them.

This undead demon has already taken countless lives, including several powerful mages, all of whom it easily dealt with.

Just then, a short figure passed through the collapsing crowd of residents and rushed towards the demon.

The boy with the black hedgehog-like hair was none other than Gray.

He gasped for breath as he approached Blago. His nearly exhausted strength seemed insignificant when he saw the enormous demon before him.

His pupils contracted instantly, once again affected by anger, and he clenched his fists.

Blinded by hatred, he ran wildly down the sloping snow-covered mountainside, leaving the refugees in astonishment.

"Deliora!"

He ran and roared as he went.

This demon was the culprit who took away his parents and his hometown years ago, and he would never let it slip away before his eyes.

Roar!

Gray stood panting beside the collapsed stone pillar, looked up, and stared at the huge black outline with eyes full of hatred.

Gray had long forgotten his fear; he clasped his hands together, revealing a white magic circle on his palms.

"Ice Design - Ice Spear!"

Several ice spears radiating cold air appeared before Gray's eyes and shot towards the demon.

Click~

When the tips of these ice spears touched Deliora's skin, they instantly shattered along the spearheads, turning into countless fragments.

Gray froze, staring blankly at his hands.

This ice spear was his strongest move to date, yet it didn't cause any damage or even leave a mark.

"How is that possible...?"

The harsh reality told him that there was a huge gap between his strength and Deliora's.

Only then did Deliora lower its head, realizing that there was a mole ant nearby scratching its itch.

It raised its sharp claws and casually swung them at Gray.

This single swing was enough to generate a cold wind pressure, instantly raising sand fragments.

"Ice-inspired Flooring!"

Just then, Uruk arrived and cast spells on the ground with both hands while gliding on the ice with both legs to increase his speed.

In the next instant, Uruk lunged at Gray, barely managing to dodge the attack with him.

Boom!

With this swing, the smooth ice surface on the ground instantly shattered into countless ice shards.

The tumble sent both of them rolling several times on the ground until they crashed into the ruins a few meters away, which cushioned the impact.

Uru, who had been hit hard in the back, was in so much pain that she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"Uru, why?"

Gray was stunned, looking at the master who had saved him, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

"It's alright, let's escape first."

Urru, wincing in pain, leaned against the wall to stand up, casually patted his foolish apprentice's head, and then stared at Deliora.

We're too close to Deliora here; we need to stall it before we can find another chance to escape.

She once again formed a magic circle with her hands, and her own magic power surged instantly.

"An icy aesthetic, a garden of white roses!"
