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

Karaara~!

Uruk released cold air from his hands, which stirred up icy pillars that rapidly froze and rushed towards Deliora.

The moment the cold air touched Deliora's skin, the moisture between its legs instantly condensed into huge ice crystals.

While freezing Deliora's legs, she also froze the streets, creating a smooth surface.

"gone!"

Uruk carried Gray away and escaped Deliora's attack range.

Deliora had no intention of letting them go. Its huge mouth slowly opened, and the surrounding magic began to rapidly converge into its mouth, thus shooting out a beam of magic!

The beam of light kept chasing Uru and the others, melting the ice crystals wherever it went, and destroying the already damaged streets again!

Seeing that the magical attack had no effect on Deliora, Uruk, who was running away, couldn't help but frown.

Can't conventional magic spells harm him?

Gray, who was being carried on Ur's shoulder, also showed a shocked expression.

How could this be? Even a mage as powerful as Ur couldn't harm Deliora?

Seeing Deliora's mouth gather a beam of light again, it was clear that Deliora's casting speed was too fast, and Uruk didn't have time to rebuild the ice surface.

"Grey, remember to lie down!"

She revealed a determined look, instantly turned around and stopped in her tracks, pushing Gray into a dead corner of the distant ruins.

In Gray's shocked gaze, he saw Uru turn around and give him a longing smile.

Gray's pupils constricted instantly upon hearing Urru's impromptu request.

"Grey, Leo, live on, for my sake too."

She then crossed her arms in front of her chest and unleashed her most powerful spell, Absolute Freeze, towards Deliora.

She gathered powerful magic within her, preparing to perish together with Deliora before her.

Phew~~! !

Just then, a high-pitched bird call echoed throughout the snow-capped mountain.

Uruk and Gray were both startled and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

A black shadow swooped down from above them, hurtling straight toward Deliora's massive maw, which was brimming with magical beams!

"What is that?!"

Gray's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

Only Uru could see clearly that it was a giant bird with ink-wash line-like shapes, carrying a white object the size of an adult on its back.

The white block even lit up a magic circle instantly?

Before Deliora could finish condensing, the giant ink bird, carrying a large bag of magical clay, slammed into Deliora's face.

Boom! ...

Chapter 59: Swastika, Big Red Lotus Hyōrinmaru!

The giant ink bird caused a violent explosion upon impact, with ink mixed with a large amount of magical explosive clay, blasting a small black mushroom cloud directly onto Deliora's face!

"Roar!!!"

The magical beam from Deliora's mouth was forcibly interrupted, causing a backlash at its mouth. It was blasted back three steps by the force of the explosion.

Uru's furrowed brows revealed astonishment and shock in his eyes.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, she dissipated her magic and withdrew the casting gesture for [Absolute Freeze].

"Luckily, I made it in time."

Just then, Ur and Gray suddenly heard a voice from behind them.

The two were startled and turned around to look.

Ron was now standing on the half-collapsed second-floor ruins wall beside them, looking down at them.

His black trench coat was pulled back by the cold wind and fluttered in the breeze.

Beside his feet was a kunai engraved with a magic formula, which he had thrown out in advance to cast the Flying Thunder God Technique as he leaped down from mid-air.

"Young man, leave here first, don't get in my way."

Ron's gaze swept over Gray, who was slumped on the ground, and he couldn't help but speak up.

Gray paused for a moment, then looked at Ron with a puzzled expression.

You don't look that much older than me, are you? Aren't we the same age?

"Who are you?!"

He looked up at Ron, who was posing like an adult, and couldn't help but ask a question.

Ron nimbly landed on the high wall in front of the two of them, then stretched his neck with his hands.

"Me? Just a mage passing by."

Just then, Ron saw Ur charging towards him and was slightly taken aback.

"A mage? You must be kidding me!"

In his haste, Ur grabbed Gray and pulled Ron, who was standing there dumbfounded, over to protect the two boys behind him.

"Although I don't know what method you used to interrupt it, the sneak attack just now won't kill it!"

She looked anxiously at Ron and said:

"You go with Gray, and I'll stop it with my life!"

"Roar!"

The fog on Deliora's face dissipated, and it roared to the sky, proclaiming its return.

The explosion only caused minor damage to Deliora's skin, but it thoroughly enraged it.

It scanned its surroundings, finally locking onto Ron and his group, and charged towards them.

"Oh no, it's targeting us again!"

Uruk quickly made a spellcasting gesture, hoping to perish together with it before it could attack.

Ron frowned. He made a fist with his left hand, and a long strip of light quickly condensed in his palm, transforming into a slender samurai sword out of thin air.

The knife has a chain with a crescent-shaped end at the hilt, which reflects a cold, icy blue light in the firelight.

"It seems I still have to take you away first."

At that moment, Ron stepped to the front, shielding Ur and the others behind him, and held the Zanpakuto horizontally in front of him.

Uru stared in shock at Ron, who was at the very front, and then lowered his hands again.

"Stop acting up..."

"Swastika, Dairedren Hyōrinmaru!"

As Ron roared, a cold and powerful magical force surged wildly within his body!

Ron's magical energy surged with a fierce, icy wind, causing Gray and Ur to close their eyes and cover their faces.

Click!Click!

As soon as Ur and Gray opened their eyes, they were shocked.

Ron's body underwent a transformation. A pair of enormous dragon wings made of ice materialized on his back, and a long, sharp ice dragon tail swung across the ground. His left arm was also covered with ice gauntlets.

"gone!"

Ron suddenly turned around, wrapping his left arm around Urru's waist while his right hand gripped Gray's inner shirt collar tightly.

The enormous ice dragon wings on its back suddenly flapped!

The three of them transformed into a streak of ice-blue light, rising into the sky just a second before Deliora descended!

Boom!

The instant they took to the air, Deliora's massive body charged forward, the impact shattering the ruins of the second floor where they had been standing.

Deliora, having missed its target, raised its head, locked onto the three people still in flight, opened its massive maw once more, gathered a beam of magical energy, and attacked them!

"Don't move."

Ron was even more agile in the air than the giant ink bird before. While dodging left and right, he slightly raised his left arm, which was covered with ice and snow gauntlets, and lit up an ice-blue magic circle.

"Boundary Magic·Mirror Gate!"

hum!

Several magical barriers, as clear as transparent glass, instantly unfolded beneath them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The magic beam chased after them and finally slammed into the mirror door. The barrier that had been rebounding shattered on the spot because it could not withstand the destructive force after only a brief moment of support!

However, this also successfully reduced the power and speed of the beam.

Ron skillfully led the two through the refracted beams of light, dodging all attacks.

Seeing Deliora, who was still roaring, about to charge up again, Ron clicked his tongue in exasperation.

"This demon is troublesome. Let's stop its movements first!"

He hovered in mid-air, and because it was inconvenient to carry people, he hugged the two of them even tighter.

He simply flicked the Hyōrinmaru in his wrist towards the demons chasing them.

"Ice Dragon Whirlwind Tail!"

Roar~!

A colossal ice dragon, formed from condensed ice vapor, roared as it descended from the sky from Ron's blade!

The ice dragon opened its mouth and bit down hard on Deliora's legs.

The cold magic caused the water vapor in the air to condense, and a thick layer of ice instantly rose from the ground, freezing Deliora's lower body to the ground!

Deliora struggled desperately, but for a moment she was unable to break free from the even more solid ice pillar.

Taking advantage of this lull, Ron led the two men to a smooth landing on a snow-covered hill a few kilometers from the battlefield.

Ron released Gray onto the soft snow and also let go of Uru's waist.

After Ron released his grip, Uruk took a few deep breaths and stared in shock at the mysterious boy before him.

As an ice mage specializing in ice-based shape magic, she knew perfectly well that the boy wasn't using any shape magic at all!

He simply swung his katana casually, without even needing to construct the shape of ice or create a spell, and he was able to easily unleash powerful ice magic!

Either the magical weapon in his possession was of exceptionally high quality, or the boy's mastery of ice and snow far exceeded her understanding.

Where did this genius mage come from?

Ron kept a wary eye on Deliora, who hadn't yet freed her lower body, while also looking intently at Ur.

"Alright, now can we have a proper talk?"

Chapter 60 Auspicious Signs Appear

Gray sat on the snow, looking up in shock at Ron, who had led him out of the ruins.

Despite looking about the same age as me, she possesses such terrifying strength.

After witnessing the power displayed by the mysterious boy, Ur stopped seeing Ron as a child who needed protection and instead regarded him as a powerful mage.

"So, you have a way to get rid of this demon?"

Uruk looked at Ron with a serious expression.

Seeing that Uruk trusted him, Ron lowered his head and pondered for a while before answering truthfully.

"With my current power, I cannot kill demons of this level."

But I have other methods I can use to deal with Deliora.
