Fairy Tail Space Mage

"Lila, what are you still doing here?"

Even though she was quite familiar with the other person, Lucy was still taken aback by Lila. She never expected that Lila, whom she had summoned before noon, hadn't returned yet.

“These are spells in Belial. They are gathering ‘Drops of the Moon’!” Lila said seriously, ignoring Lucy.

"The Moon Drop?" Gray had noticed this word in the trio's conversation before.

“Yes. They plan to use the ‘Drops of the Moon’ to melt the ice and release the demon inside!” Lila continued in her reply.

"What! This is impossible! Absolute ice cannot be melted!!" Gray couldn't believe it.

“No! The ‘Drops of the Moon’ are the bane of all magic in the world. It can dispel any magic in the world! However, collecting them is very troublesome,” Lila explained.

Although Lila was merely a Protoss used for entertainment, her long lifespan meant that her knowledge far surpassed that of humans. Even Grey had to believe her words.

"Are those guys crazy? They have no idea how terrifying Deliora is!!" Gray clenched his fists.

"I wonder if the way everyone on the island turned out has anything to do with the 'Moon Drops'?" Lucy couldn't help but frown. She actually didn't want to see Deliora released from the island. If that happened, everyone in the village...

"Unforgivable!" Natsu didn't understand the seriousness of the situation at all (he didn't understand at all), but just seeing Gray and Lucy's reactions made him want to fly into a rage.

Only the kitten remained silent. This was because the three single-star spirits in front of it were far superior, blocking its view; Happy couldn't see anything.

"Wait, someone's coming!" Lucy pulled Natsu back down from his path.

Looking over, they indeed saw a guy wearing a ram's horn mask and a cape, looking like a boss, leading the trio that Natsu and the others had met before towards the ceremony.

"I'm so sleepy during the day, and I'm just as sleepy at night." The workout clothes seem to keep me drowsy all day long.

"Awooo!" The dog's ears were howling all day long.

"In the end, we still couldn't find the intruder. Sigh." The trainee sighed softly.

"Is there really an intruder?!" Unlike the soft sighs of the training uniform, Dog Ears finally managed to utter a human word, but it was a roar.

So, the masked, cloaked figure resembling a boss turned around after hearing this. The one in training clothes couldn't help but cover his face and sigh.

"Lord Zero, this is a very sad thing. During the day, we discovered traces of the intruders. However, we were unable to find them, and we cannot show Lord Zero my love." Finally, Sherry spoke, explaining what they had been hiding.

Her tone was sad, as if failing Zero Emperor's expectations was a very disappointing thing for her.

"Intruders?... How's the collection of 'Moon Drops' going?"

The so-called "Lord Zero Emperor" seems to be more concerned about the "Drops of the Moon".

"At the latest, we should have collected enough by tomorrow," the training uniform replied.

"Is that so? We can begin soon... Listen, at this crucial moment, I don't want anyone interfering. Only the village on the edge of this island is inhabited. Go and destroy that village." Zero Emperor casually announced the death sentence for the island's village.

"Yes!"

"understand!"

"Ow!"

The three of them didn't care at all and accepted Zero Emperor's orders.

"what!"

"They clearly have no connection with the villagers, so how could they?"

Natsu and Lucy couldn't believe it.

"That voice... No way, is this a joke?" Gray was also shocked. However, the reason seemed to be different from Lucy's and the others'.

"Wait! You bunch of guys, the intruder you're looking for is right here! Roar!" Natsu finally reached his breaking point. To attract attention, he even opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball.

Despite having skipped two meals, he still seemed quite energetic. In reality, he appeared very excited, not angry, which was why he jumped out of his hiding place.

His exaggerated performance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Zero Emperor, the trio, and even the masked people who were holding the ceremony all turned to look at Natsu.

Natsu and his group's whereabouts have been completely exposed!

"That emblem, they are mages from 'Fairy Tail'."

"I see. Did the village ask the guild for help?"

The training uniform and Sherry seemed to know everything about Fairy Tail, so they immediately recognized Natsu and the others.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and destroy the village!" Zero Emperor seemed not to see Natsu and the others, and ordered the trio again.

“But, Lord Zero…” Sherry was a little worried.

Chapter 164 The Man Who Killed Uru

"Listen, anyone who gets in my way is an enemy! And enemies only have one fate: destruction!" Zero Emperor's voice was so cold that even Sherry, his companion, felt a little tremble.

"Damn it! Stop right now!" Before Natsu could even rush over to fight Zero, Gray had already charged forward first.

Then, the Ice Fountain started from Gray's feet and spread towards Zero Emperor's location!

Surprisingly, beneath Zero's feet, the same icy spring also began to spread towards Gray!

As if greeting each other, the same magic collided and ended up being evenly matched!

"ice?"

"Like Gray?"

The people on both sides seemed equally surprised.

"Leo, do you know what you're doing?" Gray asked, ignoring the outcome of the magical clash. He seemed to recognize the man wearing the ram's horn mask.

This surprised Natsu and the others greatly.

“Long time no see, Gray. I didn’t expect to see you here. Did you come because you know something, or was it just a coincidence… Oh well, it’s all the same anyway.” Leo sighed.

"Leo, what the hell are you doing!" Gray still looked very agitated.

"What's going on? I'm collecting 'Lunar Drops' to free Deliora, of course," Leo replied.

His tone was unusually calm, a stark contrast to his icy demeanor just moments before. But Shirley and the others knew it was because he was furious beyond measure!

They couldn't understand what this man had done to make their Lord Zero so furious upon seeing him!

"What did you say! Have you forgotten? Master, Uru, sacrificed her life to seal that monster! Do you want Uru's sacrifice to be in vain?!" Gray couldn't believe Leo's words and still questioned him loudly.

“No, Gray. Or rather, my junior brother. I haven’t forgotten. Not a single day or night in these past ten years. The one who forgot isn’t me, but you. Have you lost your memory, Gray? Have you forgotten that you were the one who killed Uru!” Leo removed his mask, revealing a cold, pale face and a pair of sharp, almond-shaped eyes. He looked at Gray as if he were looking at a disgusted insect. It wasn’t just ordinary hatred; it was contempt, resentment, and disappointment!

"What is he saying?" Natsu was confused by Rio's words.

"How could that be?" Harpy exclaimed in disbelief.

“Grey…”

Lucy looked at Gray expectantly, hoping to hear his explanation. But Gray just gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and seemed to have no intention of refuting her.

"So that's how it is. You didn't tell your friends. No wonder you've managed to live this long without any shame." Leo's eyes were full of contempt and disgust, wishing Gray would die immediately.

But Gray remained silent, his teeth clenched, head bowed. His body trembled; even after the comfort of Lila's singing, he still couldn't fully pull himself together.

Yes, he killed Uru!

If he hadn't ignored Ul and Leo's advice and insisted on challenging Deliora, Ul wouldn't have had to make that choice, sacrificing himself to protect the injured Ul and the unconscious Leo!

He's the one who killed Uru!

"Hmph!" Seemingly feeling that this wouldn't lessen his hatred much, Leo merely snorted when he saw Gray in such pain and ignored him. He turned his head and looked back at the trio behind him.

“You guys go ahead. I can handle things here by myself,” Leo told them.

"Yes!" This time, the three responded in unison and immediately turned to leave. They seemed to have great faith in Leo's abilities.

They actually trusted more than just Leo's abilities.

They came from the same hometown and studied magic and worked in the same mage guild.

Now, for the same reason, they have gathered here.

It can be said that they trusted Leo's judgment to the extreme, and were even willing to accept it unconditionally.

"Damn it! How can we let you get away with this! I don't know what's going on, but if you don't step in, Gray, I'll handle this guy who seems like a big boss!"

Natsu seemed not to understand what Rio was saying at all, or perhaps he did understand but didn't care at all.

He trusted Gray and absolutely refused to believe that Gray would kill his master!

Moreover, he was very clear about the extent of Gray's respect for his master!

"I will never disgrace Uru's name!" This was the line Natsu had heard most often from Gray, after countless battles with him!

"Is your brain not working properly...? But it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm going to defeat you all! So, let's start with you!" A chilling aura emanated from Rio as he prepared to fight Natsu.

Natsu, overwhelmed with excitement, was enveloped in intense flames! A scorching heatwave swept over him!

"So that's how it is! You're 'Fire Dragon'! Before I defeat Deliora, practicing on you might be a good choice!" Rio recognized Natsu's identity and became a little excited.

"Wait! Leo, what do you mean by saying you want to defeat Deliora?!" Gray suddenly looked up and interrupted Leo when he heard him speak.

"What do you mean? Hahahaha! Gray, haven't you ever thought that way?!"

"Or perhaps you've never had that nightmare! That nightmare where the two of us could do nothing but watch as Uru sacrificed his life to protect us and seal away Deliora's nightmare!!"

"I've had enough! I've had enough of how horrible that thing is! I've had enough of my own weakness!! I must defeat it. Only by defeating it can I forget the past and move on!!"

Leo laughed loudly for a while, his tone becoming somewhat manic.

His words struck Gray like a blow to the heart, leaving Gray unable to move!

"Of course I want to! I dream about it! I want to become stronger! I want to defeat Deliora!!"

"But I know that I am not strong enough right now... In 'Fairy Tail,' I saw many powerful mages. I know how weak I am... I'm not even as strong as this fire-wielding bastard with droopy eyes next to me!"

After a long silence, Gray suddenly lowered his head and muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

"Damn it! Who's the droopy-eyed bastard!" Natsu immediately reacted to Gray's verbal attack.

"Of course I'm talking about you, you bastard, you're so annoying, except your phoenix eyes are only slightly better than that bastard's droopy eyes!!"

"What did you say!!"

"So, please let me have this opponent!!"

"I'll show him just how weak he really is, and make him completely abandon that foolish idea he just had!"

"I will show him how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, and how arrogant and ignorant he is, just like I was back then!"

"So, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, can you let me have this opponent? And then, go stop those three from destroying the village? Please!!"
