"That man has disappeared!"

Somewhere on Sirius Island.
The mysterious man in black robes leaned against a tree, weeping silently.
Beside him, a girl with long, golden hair, like an elf, watched him silently, her eyes filled with heartache.
She tried to reach out and wipe away his tears, but her fingers passed right through his body.
The girl then realized that she had been dead for a long time.
She gave a bitter smile and murmured to herself, "Jereff... how have you been all these years?"
The ghost's voice was inaudible to the living, yet the man in the black robe seemed to have a telepathic connection with it, raising his head to look beside him and subconsciously uttering a name.
"Mavis?"
After a slight pause, Jelf gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Mavis died long ago, on that morning 88 years ago when they agreed to commit suicide together, in his arms...
Jelf suppressed his grief. He had already triggered the curse within him twice today. This was Sirius Island; he couldn't let that damned man continue to disturb Mavis's slumber.
It's time to leave.
Just as he stood up, a seductive figure emerged from the nearby woods.
She was wearing a tight-fitting combat suit, a white headband, and long, straight black hair that fell to her waist. She was Ultear, who was wanted by the Freshman Council as a "witch".
The moment Ultear saw Zeref, her face lit up with joy.
This is the person she sought, who pushed dark magic to its limits, creating tens of thousands of demons and plunging the world into chaos...
The strongest and most evil in the history of magic—
Dark Magician Zeref!!
"You came for my power?"
Sensing that the newcomer seemed to have ulterior motives, Jelf's gloomy expression vanished, and his entire demeanor instantly turned cold and ruthless.
Ultear knelt on one knee and replied respectfully, "We want everything you have, Lord Zeref."
"I don't want to do anything in this era."
"I also don't want to see struggle and death."
"You and your people must leave this island immediately."
Zeref’s tone was extremely cold, which startled Ultear. The dark mage who brought countless deaths did not want to see fighting and death.
This is utterly ridiculous.
So that's how it is. Although he was conscious, he was completely unaware of his true thoughts. So this is the "conscious slumber" state that "Pluto" mentioned in his information...
Since that's the case, then we can forcibly take him away.
According to intelligence, although he is a legendary dark mage, Zeref, who is in a state of "awake slumber," is no match for him.
As a member of the "Heart of the Devil" and the leader of the "Seven Kin of Purgatory," Ultear was confident that she could defeat this legendary mage whose strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.
A ball of light condensed in her hand.
The next second, hundreds of identical magical orbs of light densely surrounded Zeref.
Just as the light in Ultear's hand was about to burst forth, hurried footsteps and shouts came from the forest.
"There's movement over there!"
"Wait, Erza told us to come out and chop wood..."
Gray and Loki burst out of the woods and stumbled upon this bizarre standoff.
Chapter 216 Gray VS Ultear
After being eliminated, Gray and Loki were summoned by Mirajane to the guild camp on Sirius Island to help prepare ingredients for the celebration banquet after the assessment.
Besides the members who were eliminated in the first round, there were also five S-level examiners in the camp. However, with so many people, there were really not many who could cook a good meal.
So Erza let the girls stay behind and sent all the troublesome boys away to fish, gather firewood, or something similar.
Gray and Loki never expected that their trip to chop wood would lead them into a fight between two unknown individuals.
Their gazes were instantly drawn to the black-robed man kneeling on the ground, exuding an aura of sorrow, before they noticed Ultear, who was casting a spell.
Upon seeing that profile that was almost identical to his master's, Gray's pupils constricted.
"Ulu?!"
"Wait, you're not her..., are you?"
Ultear frowned, clearly not expecting the sudden arrival of Fairy Tail mages, especially since one of them was her mother's apprentice.
They stole their mother's love and now they're getting in the way.
Damn it!
Her movements did not pause at all, and the light in her hands surged.
Dozens of magical light projectiles rained down like a storm, targeting not only Zeref but also Gray and Loki.
"Ice Form - Shield Wall!"
Gray reacted quickly, slapping the ground with both hands, and a thick ice wall rose up, blocking the way for the three of them.
The light projectile struck the ice wall, exploding into dazzling magical sparks. Amidst the flying ice shards, the ice wall cracked with fine lines from the impact, but Gray seemed oblivious.
"Ultear, why are you here?"
However, he was met with Ultear's increasingly ruthless attacks.
"Hey, this beautiful lady's greeting is way too enthusiastic." Starlight flickered in Loki's palm. "Grey, do you know this woman?"
"She is my master Ulu's daughter."
Gray forced out the words through gritted teeth, his gaze never leaving Ultear, "But I heard she already..."
"He's already dead?"
Ulutia chuckled softly, a laugh devoid of warmth, filled only with endless mockery. "Yes, an abandoned daughter, to her, is no different from being dead."
“No way!” Gray exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion. “Ulu never abandoned you! I’ve heard about it from our companions. It was Brian who lied to Ulu, making her believe you had died from a terminal illness…”
"enough!"
Ultear's tone returned to calm, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her restless heart.
Since being adopted by Hades, the guild leader of the Demon Heart, her strength has gradually increased. How could she not have investigated the former director of the magic research institute who treated her as a test subject?
With Ultear's intelligence, she probably already guessed the truth.
She just didn't want to face it.
Unwilling to face the memory of escaping the research institute and seeing his mother, Wu Lu, and his two disciples lovingly embracing each other from afar at his doorstep, only to turn away because he mistakenly believed he had been abandoned.
Back then, all I needed was for my mother to see me...
It was so close...
But now it doesn't matter what the truth is. Ulu is dead, and Ulutia has embarked on a dark path with no turning back.
If she could obtain Zeref, she could unlock the Great Magical World, where everyone could be resurrected, and she could return to the embrace she had longed for...
Ultear raised her hand, and a distorted halo appeared on her slender fingertips.
Loki was about to make a move when Gray stopped him, saying, "Leave this to me. You take that man back to the camp and tell Erza and the others that there are outsiders on the island."
"then you......"
Loki hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the determination in Gray's eyes, he smiled with relief. "I'll be waiting for you at the camp. Mirajane's soup looks delicious today. If you come back late, there won't be any for you."
After saying that, Loki dragged Zeref away.
Jelf, who was forcibly dragged away, looked somewhat helpless. So this was Mavis's junior... How could he be as naive as her? The most dangerous person here was him.
In the blink of an eye, only Gray and Ultear remained on the field.
"You're just going to stay here and die? You really are a fool." Ultear's fingertips gathered light, and a beam of light shot out.
"Idiot..."
Gray smirked, dodging the attack and slowly assuming a fighting stance. Ice-blue magic swirled and coiled around his arms. "Maybe so, but I can't let you hurt the guild members, nor can I let you... continue down the wrong path."
"wrong?"
Ultear seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "What do you know? This world has long gone astray. Only by opening the Great Magic World can everything be corrected! And Ultear can return!"
"Would she be happy to come back this way?!"
Gray shouted sternly, "Ulu left with a smile! She protected her disciple and followed her own path! She doesn't need to be resurrected by trampling on other people's lives!"
"Shut up!" A cold glint flashed in Ultear's eyes.
Gray knew that Ultear was not in a state he could persuade, so he had to take matters into his own hands. He pushed with both palms, and a large number of ice spears shot out.
"Ice Form - Lancer!"
"A trivial skill."
Ultia snorted coldly, and the sky full of ice spears vanished.
"Arc of Time" can extend or shorten the duration of magic, making it an absolute counter to shape-based magic that can create physical objects.
However, Gray stubbornly continued casting spells.
"Giant Ice Hammer!"
"Ice Spring!"
"The Grim Reaper's Scythe!"
