Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Fear still coiled around his heart like a venomous snake, but a more intense emotion was breaking through the ice from the depths of his frozen soul.

That is—anger!

Gray clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. An icy chill uncontrollably emanated from his body, and the ground beneath his feet instantly froze.

Lucy noticed his unusual behavior, her brow furrowing slightly. Looking at the numerous wounds on his body from his battle with Leo, she said with some concern, "Grey, you..."

"I am fine."

Gray's voice showed no emotion.

His bare upper body stood out even more against the cold, demonic wind. Looking at Deliora, he knew all too well how powerful she was. Even Erza, the strongest mage present, would be no match for this great demon.

If this continues, the nightmares of the past will repeat themselves...

There is only one way to defeat Deliora now—the forbidden ice magic 'Absolute Freeze'.

Grey, I will seal away the darkness within you!

Recalling his master Ullu's last words, a slight smile appeared on Gray's cold face.

I'm sorry, Master, but I must use your power to overcome darkness and seal Deliora once more, for revenge, to protect my companions, and to prevent further loss!

"Deliora!"

With a roar from Gray, a surge of powerful, cold magic erupted into the sky, and the raging, chilling magic in the surrounding air seemed to be temporarily suppressed by this biting cold.

Deliora also felt the chilling aura of challenge and determination, and turned her crimson eyes toward Gray, "How dare a mere human provoke me?"

Deliora suddenly changed the subject, scrutinizing Gray with her large eyes. "Oh, it's you... that reckless brat from ten years ago. Are you here to die again?"

"Unfortunately, no female mage came to save you today!"

"No, this time... I'm here to send you to hell!"

Gray crossed his arms straight in front of him, and his magic surged around him like a blizzard, instantly condensing the moisture in the air into countless tiny ice crystals that swirled rapidly around him.

Several enormous ice magic circles unfolded around Deliora, their complex and ancient runes flashing with a dazzling blue light.

Even Deliora, a demon, couldn't help but shiver from the extreme cold. Looking at the magic circles that were locking onto it, it immediately sensed something was wrong.

Ten years ago, that female mage used the same technique to seal herself. If the seal hadn't been inexplicably broken, she would probably have remained imprisoned in eternal, unyielding ice.

Unpleasant memories flooded back, and Deliora, not wanting to repeat the same mistakes, furiously pounded its thick arms against the ice magic circle surrounding it.

However, forbidden magic is called "forbidden" precisely because it always possesses extremely powerful force or function.

"Absolute Freeze" is a forbidden magic that uses the user's own body as a price to permanently freeze the target. Once a demon like Deliora is targeted by this magic's magic circle, it cannot escape.

There is only one way to stop 'Absolute Freeze'—interrupt the mage who is casting the spell.

Surely no one would be foolish enough to do something like that.

Just as Deliora was about to be frozen again, it suddenly opened its eyes wide and saw Leo rush to Gray's side and kick him hard to the ground.

here you go!!

Deliora was overjoyed.

Chapter 39 Ultimate Look: True Thousand Hands!

"Leo! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Gray glared angrily at Leo; he had almost sealed Deliora away.

Leo snorted coldly, "I am a mage who will surpass Ul's, and only I can defeat Deliora."

"At this point, have you let your nonsensical dreams control your mind again?!" Gray was furious and got up to argue with Leo, but the next second, his body was frozen by a thick block of ice.

"Indeed, casting spells with both hands is still the best method."

Leo released his hands, his face no longer displaying the cold indifference of someone who keeps their distance, but instead a gentle, approachable smile. "Grey, just live on. That magic isn't something you can do alone."

Gray instantly realized something. "Leo! Stop!"

However, it was too late.

Leo crossed his arms, making the same spellcasting gesture as Gray had just made. The water molecules in the air instantly froze, forming countless tiny ice crystals that shimmered with a dreamlike light under the moonlight.

"Deliora, come to hell with me!"

"Forbidden Magic - Absolute Freeze!"

When the magic circles that had just dissipated reappeared, Deliora, who was locked on once again, felt his emotions rise and fall like a rollercoaster, and was somewhat frantic.

No, you kicked that person down just so you could cast this spell yourself?

Why are they all rushing to use magic that's practically meant to send them to their deaths?!

Humans... are truly incomprehensible...

Hope, an observer, also couldn't understand it. From their perspective, all they saw was Deliora being surrounded by Gray's magic as soon as she appeared.

Then Leo interrupted Gray's magic and trapped him, and then he cast the same magic on Deliora.

They immediately unleashed a devastating attack that would take everyone down with them.

They hadn't even started fighting yet, and they were already rushing to self-destruct. What were these two brothers thinking? They were so easily underestimating their companion's fighting ability; they should at least have fought each other first...

Hope couldn't stand it any longer and released Natsu, who had been held down by him and Erza from the beginning. "Natsu, for Gray and Riot's sake, use your Flame Fist on those two."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Natsu was a little taken aback by being suddenly released, but then he leaped up and delivered a flying kick to Leo, knocking him to the ground. He then turned around and punched the ice block that was trapping Gray.

With Absolute Freeze interrupted once again, Deliora has another chance to catch her breath.

It stared intently at Natsu. The once arrogant great demon now showed a tense expression, as if afraid that this pink-haired boy would cross his arms and shout "Absolute Freeze" in the next second, and try to take it down with him.

To be honest, it was really too much for the demon to bear; it was too torturous.

Deliora finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flames burning on Natsu's body. So he was a fire mage, which meant he probably didn't know any forbidden ice magic.

Gray and Rio, who were being held down by Natsu, looked at Hope with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he was stopping them from releasing "Absolute Freeze".

Hope slowly strolled up to the two of them. "Although I don't know Ulu, I think Ulu sacrificed herself so that you could live, not so that you two could die carelessly."

Gray's body jolted violently, and the image of Ullu's dying smile flashed through his mind.

Leo lowered his head as well. "Of course Gray and I know that, but without 'Absolute Freeze,' how are we supposed to fight Deliora?"

"It's very simple."

Hope smiled slightly, "I'll take care of it."

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Hope crouched down, his palms touching the ground. Instantly, the magic power within the earth surged wildly into his body under the guidance of the 'Great Tree Arc'.

The unique geographical location of Galna Island determines that the land of this island "blessed" by the moon must have accumulated a lot of moonlight magic.

Others cannot invoke these magical powers, but Hope is different.

Now, the energy accumulated in this land over thousands of years is the invincible experience card that allowed Hope to defeat Deliora.

In an instant, Hope had absorbed a sufficient amount of magic power. He clapped his hands together and shouted, "Wooden Form - Ultimate - True Several Thousand Hands!"

The mountain shook, and to everyone's astonishment, even Deliora's, surprise...

The earth roared and the mountains trembled, as if some enormous creature was awakening.

Behind Hope, a colossal wooden thousand-armed Buddha, comparable to a mountain, suddenly rose from the ground and stood majestically atop the mountain.

Its thousands of giant arms spread out behind it like a peacock's tail, as sacred as a halo, and the overall level of detail is simply breathtaking.

The Buddha's face is compassionate and solemn, which contrasts sharply with Deliola's ferocious and evil image.

Even Deliora's enormous body paled in comparison before this colossal thousand-armed Buddha statue.

"What...what kind of magic is this?"

Lucy gazed up at the colossal statue that almost blotted out the sky, her voice trembling slightly. They were all newcomers to the guild, so how did Hope suddenly become so overpowered...?

Erza gripped her longsword tightly, her eyes gleaming with disbelief. This was the first time she had ever seen such a magnificent creation, one that even a colossal demon like Deliora could not compare to.

On the other hand, Natsu and Happy, before anyone else was even shocked, were already eager to climb up the giant Buddha statue and have some fun.

Deliora's eyes were filled with terror; its instincts told it that the colossus before it contained a terrifying power that could threaten its life.

"impossible!"

"How could a human possibly possess such power?!"

The great demon roared in shock and rage, and as if defying all evil, swung its demonic claws to attack.

Hope stood atop the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, his face somewhat pale. This move had nearly exhausted all the earth magic he had drawn, but the equation for victory was already complete.

"Deliora, your atrocities must end here!"

Hope thrust his hands forward with a jolt, and the thousand-armed Buddha statue behind him moved accordingly, with thousands of giant arms raining down on Deliora like a storm.

"A Buddha appears on the crown!"

Each punch contained terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks. Thousands upon thousands of punches, like a raging storm, instantly engulfed Deliora's body.

"Do not--!"

Deliora let out a desperate roar as it tried to fight back, but in the overwhelming barrage of punches, any resistance seemed futile.

The giant fist slammed into its hard, iron-like skin, producing a deafening roar, and the sound of bones shattering rang out continuously, creating a chilling noise.

When the final punch landed, the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue finally stopped attacking and stood quietly in place, like a guardian deity.

The field was deathly silent.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, everyone finally saw the scene in the center of the battlefield.

The once-immortal Deliora was now riddled with holes and had lost all his life force!

Chapter 40 is already dead.

"Is it... over?"

Looking at Delio's massive, battered body, Larcy's voice trembled slightly. She hugged Happy tightly, as if only in this way could she regain some sense of reality.

"Hope, you're amazing!"
