Natsu and Lucy followed Gray back to the building above, and found that the hole they saw underground was right in the center of the pyramid temple, and a purple magic circle was receiving the moonlight shining from above, and condensed into the "liquid state" they had just seen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Looking up further, I found that there were the same magic arrays on it, and the main means of the ritual seemed to be to summon these magic arrays and compress the magic power of the moonlight layer by layer to obtain the moon drops. Since there is still no figure here, the guy who caused all this must be at the top of the zenith! Gray didn't say a word, and ran to the top of the pyramid again.

The top of the tower was unexpectedly empty, and a beam of purple moonlight shot straight down from the sky, which was particularly magnificent. Looking up, he found that a total of eight magic arrays that compressed the magic power of the moonlight were lined up in turn and pointed to the high sky, guiding the light beams to gather. Directly below, in the center of the zenith, a large group of people with black pressure were constantly worshipping around the beams of light, chanting unknown incantations, apparently the scene of the ceremony.

Lucy was surprised, "There are so many people!"

It was the presence of four apparent leaders on the zenith, among them the two men and a woman they had seen below, and the three of them were now respectfully guarding one of the masked men in the middle.

"Isn't it done yet?" asked the masked leader dissatisfiedly. Listening to the voice, he was still a very young man, but he was recognized as the leader by everyone here. The moment he heard this voice, Gray was suddenly stunned, frowning as if he was recalling something.

Thick eyebrows stepped forward and replied: "Soon, it should be today or tomorrow, and the seal will be lifted." But just now we found out that there seems to be an intruder, Lord Zero. ”

"Intruders?"

"Yes, Angelinka has been knocked down," the woman said, "but time is limited, and we don't have time to search carefully." ”

The man known as Emperor Zero was very dissatisfied: "My plan is about to be completed, and no one is allowed to interfere now! Is it that the people in that village finally can't hold it back? You go and destroy it!"

"What, bastard over there, what are you going to do?" Hearing that the other party was going to destroy the village, Natsu couldn't help it, and was the first to jump out despite hiding.

"Ah, that's all it takes, let's take a step at a time......" Lucy also sighed helplessly.

"Sure enough, there is a guy who sneaked in, is it a lackey belonging to the guild?" Seeing the intruder appear, Emperor Zero did not look surprised at all.

Thick eyebrows saw Natsu's arm: "That badge, it's the tail of the fairy!" The three of them stepped forward in unison to block in front of Emperor Zero.

"Did the village chief really send out the mission?" Emperor Zero looked in the direction of the village, "Shirley, Toby, Yuka, you go and destroy it, save yourself the trouble!"

This time, instead of waiting for Natsu's impulse, Gray rushed forward first: "This voice...... Is it really you!" With his hands together, the magic power was released, and a large area of cold air gushed out from the magic array in Gray's hand and sprayed to the ground, and thick ice shoots sprung up on the ground like mushrooms after a rain, surging towards the four people opposite.

The woman shouted, "Be careful, sir, what, ice magic?" After seeing the type of magic that was attacking, Shirley actually showed a surprised look, and forgot to block Emperor Zero behind her for a while.

Seeing Gray rushing up, the corners of Emperor Zero's mouth curled slightly, pulled away Shirley who was blocking him, and attacked him head-on! I saw him press one hand to the ground, and a large amount of cold qi gushed out, and then a more slender and sharp but equally majestic ice shoot unfolded under his hand, crashing head-on into Gray's magic.

The magic of the two collided violently, and after a moment of stalemate, there was a crisp sound of glass shattering, and at the same time shattering into ice crystals in the sky.

This time it was indeed Natsu Lucy's turn to surprise them, and it was not difficult to find that the magic of these two people was extremely similar, and it could even be said that they came from the same source.

That Emperor Zero turned out to be an Ice Shape Wizard too!

"Leo, Bastia!" Gray looked up and called out Emperor Zero's name.

The other party also took off his mask, revealing his true face, a silver-haired young man of the same age as Gray, but his voice was unexpectedly old: "It's been a long time, Gray." ”

Tonight, under the light of this purple moon, it was the first time the two met after ten years, but it was also the first duel between the brothers.

As Harpy said before, Ice Magic is an extremely rare form of magic, and the battle between fellow Ice Magicians is unprecedented. Because modeling magic is magic that gives shape to magic and can deprive it of shape, that is, if the magic power is similar, the duel between two ice modeling magicians is likely to develop into a confrontation of their own "shapes".

Leo stretched out his hand to Gray: "Ice shape, flying birds!" The cold air around him condensed, and several white lines flew towards Gray, condensing into six vivid birds in the air, the beaks and wings of the birds flashing with sharp cold light.

Gray pressed his hands together: "Ice shape, shield!" to make his own look at a speed that is not inferior to the other party.

Modeling magic is the magic of freedom, as long as you find your own "form", you can become infinitely powerful! The confrontation between modeling magic is also a confrontation between the imagination of the magician.

Gray absolutely trusted the defense of the ice shield he made, but Leo's bird drew six perfect arcs in the air, directly bypassing his shield wall!

Gray's pupils contracted violently, and he had such an agile ice shape! It wouldn't be nice to be hit by them! Those sharp edges were no joke. At the last moment, Gray quickly grasped the magic fluctuations of the six birds, and used his magic power to intervene and eliminate their shapes—the so-called deprivation of shapes.

Gray's hasty actions were naturally not as deliberate as Leo's, but fortunately, at least the sharp parts of the bird were eliminated, so when it hit his body, it was only equivalent to an ordinary stone, and the lethality had been reduced a lot.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, and you still haven't changed at all. Leo sneered, "Still so ignorant! Is time frozen on you?" Gray!"

"Ice ...... Sledgehammer!" Gray didn't reply, but chose to fight back, towards Leo, his right fist smashed into the palm of his left hand, and at the same time, echoing the movement of his hand, a huge ice hammer appeared above Leo and fell rapidly.

Leo didn't look in a hurry, and waved his halberd over his head, and a light green magic array appeared behind him, and a giant ape poked out of it, stretching out its arms to block the smashed hammer.

"Ice shape, great ape. Leo said indifferently, "Don't you understand? Your shape can't be better than mine! Gray, your shape is made of shields, hammers, spears, and other substances, representing 'stillness', while my shape is dominated by various animals, and it is a 'moving' shape. And I'm one-handed styling, faster than yours, and you can't get the upper hand in a fight with me!"

Gray gritted his teeth and said, "Master's teaching, one-handed shape is imperfect and unstable, have you forgotten?"

"Hmph, I'm beyond the level of Uru!

"Arrogance!" Gray shouted angrily, "how dare you despise Master's teachings so much!"

"How dare you mention Master!" Leo, who had been acting indifferently, suddenly erupted in anger no less than Gray's.

Gray was stunned, and he suddenly found that the senior brother on the other side had no less affection for his master Uru than he did.

"Then why are you doing this!" he pointed to the ritual still going on next to him, "Why destroy the last traces left by Master! You should know the horror of Daliora. ”

Leo said, "Why? Why, of course, to bring down that Deliora!"

"What's the point of this! It's worth breaking the seal that Master has turned into!"

"As I said, in order to completely defeat Deliola, who even Uru didn't defeat in the end!"

Gray suddenly understood that his brother's goal had always been to surpass Master Uru and become the strongest magician, which was the only motivation for him to become a magician, and when the two were still children, when they practiced with Master Uru, Leo constantly dreamed that he could defeat and surpass Master.

And before he could achieve that goal, Uru died. Leo has lost his greatest and only goal of advancement, and he has no chance to defeat the Master head-on!

As a high-level demon created by Jelf's magic book, Deliora has the characteristics of immortality, and "Absolute Ice" is not a killing magic, the essence is just a sealing magic, so Deliora is not dead!

Gray didn't expect that Leo would still cling to the goal of the past after ten years, and he would do it to this extent! He could understand his senior brother's mood and actions, but he would never accept it!

"That's enough, Leo. Gray said, "You're the one who lived in the past!

"You're not qualified to speak of me. Leo said, "Ulu is my goal, and surpassing Ulu is my dream." But that dream was taken away by you! Now the only way out is to defeat this Deliora, so that my frozen dream can continue!"

"Ice shape, Snow Dragon!" Leo struck again, and the dragon shape filled with his magic rose to the ground, curling Gray up.

"You should know how terrible Deliora is!" Gray admonished, "stop, that's impossible!"

Leo's pupils contracted instantly, and with a hard grip on his hand, the ice dragon that trapped Gray exploded, and Gray was even more severely injured and let out a scream.

"Ah~~~"

"Stop, is that impossible?" said Leo, "At that time, we said the same thing to you, you won't forget it!"

Leo stretched out his hand and released a few ice birds to rush towards Gray: "It's all because you challenge Daliora that Uru will die!

Gray was sent into the air by the powerful impact, and a slender ice dragon appeared behind him, grabbed him in one bite, and slammed into the ground with force. The violent impact knocked Gray directly unconscious, and he passed out.

Perhaps because he had never wanted to be an enemy of a fellow Ice Wizard, Gray obviously lacked experience in fighting a Wizard of the same kind, and suddenly facing another Ice-Shaped Wizard could be said to be a serious disagreement for him. But for Leo, who has the goal of defeating his master Uru, the Ice Shape Magus is an opponent who must be defeated, and he has considerable awareness and countermeasures.

And in the face of his brother's accusations and the intrusion of memories, Gray, who was violently shaken physically and mentally, was unable to exert his due strength normally, so he was simply defeated by Leo.

At the same time, in order to prevent Leo's men from destroying the village, Nazlucy also fought them on the island.

That night, the village was destroyed, but fortunately, the villagers were rescued by Natsu and immediately evacuated without causing any casualties.

The island was turned upside down overnight.
