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

"I originally thought these balls were actually useless and not very useful."

But then I thought, if I never open it, wouldn't it be a great sealing tool?

He gently pressed the button in the center of the advanced ball, which instantly enlarged to a size that fit perfectly in his hand.

Ron then hurled the Superball hard at Deliora's forehead. The Superball bounced up upon impact, opening up its interior.

Buzz!

A beam of red light shot out from inside the advanced sphere, expanding to a size of over ten meters, directly piercing through the air!

The entire ice sculpture and Deliora rapidly shrank under the red light, turning into a ball of red energy that was forcibly absorbed into the sphere.

clack.

The ball came together in mid-air and then fell straight down onto the soft snow with Ron, making a soft thud.

The red button in the center of the advanced ball flashed red and then shook.

It shook once, then a second time, then a third time...

Ding!

Then a pleasant notification sound rang out, the flashing red light on the Advanced Ball finally went out, and the ball became calm and stopped shaking.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, his legs giving way from lack of magic, and he collapsed onto the snow.

He sat up and reached out to pick up the cold, high-quality ball.

He looked at the advanced ball in his hand, which had only a low probability of being caught, and couldn't help but roll his eyes and start complaining.

"Screw you! If I had a Master Ball, would I need to go through all this trouble?!"

I also need to severely injure it and put it in a frozen state, for fear that it will break free of the frozen state again and I will lock it up with snow again.

I finally managed to get an A-rank Poké Ball! If I fail, where can I complain? To the underworld?!

After venting his frustrations, Ron closed his eyes, raised the advanced ball in his hand, and struck a victory pose!

Finally captured... no, finally sealed successfully!

Chapter 62: Still Choosing to Leave

High in the nearby snow-capped mountains, the refugees, who had already given up hope, stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the town where the fire had died down.

"The demon... it's gone?"

They watched as Ron and Ursa teamed up to freeze Deliora into an ice sculpture, which then vanished from everyone's sight in a flash of red light.

They looked around but couldn't find any sign of the demon.

"Could it be that those two mages destroyed it?"

Someone in the crowd raised this question.

The refugees looked at each other, their expressions gradually shifting from surprise to joy, and they began to shout.

"It's gone! The demon has finally vanished!"

"Thank you, mages! We can finally stop living in fear!"

Those who had escaped death embraced each other and wept with joy; their cries of happiness echoed across the snow-capped mountains.

They all expressed their gratitude for surviving the day.

At this moment, in the center of the ruins, Uruk, hiding in a blind spot, looked shocked as Deliora disappeared.

She could no longer sense Deliora's magic; it vanished from her sight in an instant, along with the ice covering its body.

She looked at Ron, who was still in the center of the ruins; it seemed that all of this was his masterpiece.

In search of answers, Urru emerged from the blind spot and ran toward Ron.

Ron scanned his surroundings and spotted Uruk approaching him before slowly walking towards him.

"Uru!"

Just as they reunited, a boy's voice came from afar, drawing Urru and Ron's attention in that direction.

They saw Gray running towards them, followed by a white-haired boy.

"Leo?!"

Uru looked closely and saw that the white-haired boy was Leo.

Gray and Leo arrived breathlessly in front of Ur and Ron, both looking on in surprise.

"Where's Deliora? Did that monster escape?"

Gray and Rio were on the snowy hill when they saw Deliora emit a red light from afar before she disappeared.

Uruk and Gray exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to Ron.

Finally, to the bewilderment of the three, Ron pulled out the shrunken Advanced Ball from his pocket.

"It didn't escape; it's been sealed inside by my prop."

Uru took a deep breath and then shook his head with relief.

Having witnessed Ron's powerful magical weapons, she wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out any other amazing gadgets.

"Wh-what?!"

Leo's eyes widened, revealing a shocked expression.

Even though he witnessed Ron's outrageous magic with Gray on the snowy hill, he still couldn't imagine that the little ball in Ron's hand had been sealed away by Deliora.

"Finally... it's over."

Gray's nightmare vanished, instantly relaxing his nerves and causing his legs to go weak.

"Wait, Gray!"

Leo was startled by the sight and quickly reached out to support Gray, preventing him from falling onto the snow.

Leo pulled Gray up by the arm and then properly supported him.

After demonstrating, Ron put the ball away and began to speak seriously:

"Although the seal on this magical item is strong enough, I will try to add more seals to it as a precaution."

Uru nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, we can find a few more top-tier sealing artifacts to seal it up layer by layer, so that it can never come out and harm people again.”

After the two finished their discussion, Ur walked towards Gray and Rio.

"Leo, didn't I say I'd wait for us to come back from the cabin?"

Why did you come here?

Faced with Ur's questioning, Leo gave an awkward, silly grin and scratched his head.

"I came here thinking I could help, but I ended up just watching from the snowy hill with Gray and couldn't participate."

After hearing Rio's explanation, Uruk didn't reply immediately, but turned to look at Gray.

"And you, were you just trying to challenge Deliora?"

Gray paused for a moment, then lowered his head in disappointment.

"That's right, I wanted to get revenge on Deliora, so I came here on my own."

He looked guilty and dared not look Uru in the eye.

Unexpectedly, Ur reached out his hands to Gray and Rio and hugged them tightly.

Uru smiled gently, her eyes slightly red, and said:

"It's so good to see you all again."

Gray and Leo stood frozen in place, too afraid to move.

However, this hug caused Gray, who was filled with remorse, to slowly well up with tears, and he bit his lower lip tightly.

"I'm sorry, Uru, I'm so sorry!"

Gray finally broke down in tears and began to wail.

Leaning against Ur's embrace, Leo couldn't help but shed a few tears and reveal a happy smile.

Ron stood to the side, watching the heartwarming scene unfold with satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

Just then, Leo lifted his head from Ur's embrace, glanced back in the direction he had come from, and looked puzzled.

"Speaking of which, there was another person with us on the snow hill just now, why didn't she come over?"

Ron looked shocked when he heard Leo's words.

Uru was also taken aback for a moment, then released his two apprentices.

"Weren't there only two of you on the snow hill just now?"

Gray shook his head, testifying for Leo.

"No, there is another girl on the snow hill."

Leo nodded and began to explain.

"That's right. On my way here, a kind girl drove by in her magic 4WD and gave me a ride.

Later, when I saw you guys fly out of the ruins, she was the one who drove me there to find Gray. We were all watching from up there just now.

Ron frowned and cut in first, immediately pressing Leo for answers.

"Was that girl wearing a black cloak and had short black hair?"

Leo looked at Ron in surprise and replied:

"She was indeed wearing a black cloak, but she never took the hood off, so it's unclear whether she had black hair. Do you know her?"

She's a strange person; she didn't ask me why I wanted to see Deliora in the car, she kept asking about other things..."

"What do you mean?"

Leo glanced timidly at Ur and Gray beside him, which made them look at him with curiosity.

Finally, seeing how seriously Ron was asking, he took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak.

“It was all about how Uru and we got along. I told her everything because she was so kind to give me a ride.”

Ron gasped; the message he left behind had worked.

Urutia is here, and she's nearby?!

Ron then frowned, looking puzzled.

Now that she's come all this way, asked Leo about these things, and learned the whole truth, why doesn't she come along?

After all I've said, does she still not want to acknowledge Uru as her father?!

Chapter 63 Let's Go, Fairy Tail!

In the cold of the night, a magical four-wheeled vehicle sped across the snow, heading in the opposite direction from where Ron and his companions were.

In the driver's seat, Urutia gripped the steering wheel tightly and bit her lower lip.

Tears streamed down her face from under her hood, soaking her collar.

Her eyes, hidden in the shadows, were no longer lost; instead, they were filled once more with hatred and anger.

She encountered Leo on her journey, learned the news from him, and after hearing that her mother had always missed her daughter, she finally understood the truth of everything.

Ron’s mother never abandoned her; everything she said was true.

Those people, the director of the Magic Development Bureau, deceived my mother and ruined her life!

But after realizing that she had been hating the wrong person and had gone down the wrong path, she could no longer return to her mother's side.

"I am no longer qualified to go back."

Urutia stared ahead through gritted teeth, her hatred not dissipating, but her focus shifting.

In order to continue to grow stronger and to take revenge on those sinners, she still needs to return to the heart of the devil and to Hades' side.
