Chapter 269: Retreat
Three successive huge ice blocks shaped like fountains, like three huge icebergs, stand in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling brilliance. Gray, who had been struck by Silver in imitation of his own magic, was once again frozen in ice.
Through the crystal clear ice, Gray saw that this ice cube was more than several times larger than the ice cube that had frozen him before, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes, he couldn't figure out how this Deliora, who called himself 'Silver', could have such a huge amount of magic power, and the application of ice was even more powerful than him, a person who had been immersed in ice for more than ten years.
Gray, who was in a state of panic, suddenly heard 'Silver' say lightly: "It's all said, in front of the extermination magician, magic of the same attribute is useless, it will only make me stronger!" As he spoke, Silver's mouth seemed to chew something, and he added, "Your magic tastes pretty good, and if you can, it's really like eating it a few more times... Hahaha! β
As he spoke, Silver burst out laughing, as if he was genuinely happy, but more often than not, he was laughing at Gray, thinking that he was going to defeat him with pure magic of the same attribute knowing the advantages of the Killing Magician.
Although Gray was very indignant after hearing such a sentence, he quickly judged in his brain that 'Silver' was speaking as if he was talking to himself, as if he was talking to him, but in either case, it was a reminder to him, telling him not to use ice magic to fight him.
With such a reminder, whether intentional or unintentional, Gray suddenly thought of the quarrel he had with Natsu. He still remembers Natsu saying something like this: "Huh!? Eat your own flames? How is that possible! Have you ever seen someone eat their own hands and feet? Besides, it's completely inedible! β
Thinking of this, Gray had a plan in his heart.
He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his heart completely, like a pool of still water without any waves and without the slightest ripple, and his body, in such a calm state, completely fit into this huge ice cube. All the mana in his body flows under the surface of his body, slowly pulling the remaining mana in this ice cube.
The 'silver' outside the ice cube saw Gray's eyes closed, and the breath of the whole person weakened, so he thought that Gray had given up resistance and decided to accept what was happening in front of him. Then he turned around and planned to leave.
However, after taking a few steps again, 'Silver' once again felt the fluctuation of mana power coming from behind him, and this time the fluctuation was obviously more intense and ferocious than the last time, as if a giant beast was staring at him behind him, and exuded endless killing intent, as if it could kill him on the spot with this terrifying killing intent alone.
'Silver' was stunned, but he still turned around slowly, he was very curious, as if it was a miracle before, could the miracle that happened happen a second time?
Although his heart was like this, when he turned around, he found that this time it was no longer a miraculous coincidence, but Gray was using his own magic power to completely mobilize the iceberg-like iceberg.
As Gray's magic power continued to operate, this huge ice cube like a mountain peak suddenly transformed into countless swords, and each sword seemed to be used by a giant, very huge, extremely sharp, and unusually tough.
These huge blades, like a ferocious beast, roared and rushed in front of 'Silver', completely enveloping 'Silver', and with all kinds of 'whoosh, whoosh...' breaking through the air, swept towards 'Silver'.
In the face of such a fierce attack, Silver's expression did not change at all. It's just that his head is slightly lowered, his eyes are also slightly staring, and his expression is extremely gloomy, but the smile that appears on the corner of his mouth makes 'Silver's expression not only gloomy, but also very evil.
'Bang! β
Seeing that Gray's attack was imminent, 'Silver' suddenly reached out an arm and waved at those huge blades. The moment it collided with these blades made of ice, there was a violent sound, but although the movement was huge, it had no effect, but with the wave of the 'silver', this huge blade in the sky disappeared in an instant.
Seeing such a scene, Gray's expression became extremely rich, both surprised and stunned, both incredulous and unbelievable.
Immediately after, Silver's voice came out again, saying, "Although it is said that your own magic is inabsorbable by the magicians of the extermination system, you will not be naΓ―ve to think that the magicians will be hurt by their own magic!" β
In a word, 'Silver' once again burst out of powerful magic power from his body, covering the surface of his body with a layer of ice crystals reflecting the sun's rays, and as ice crystals appeared one after another, in the blink of an eye, 'Silver' had an extra set of dark pink armor on his body, and there was a pair of unfolded ice wings on the back of the armor, which was transmitting a very cold aura that made Gray feel very cold.
'Roar!! β
Just as 'Silver' wanted to rise up, continue to attack, and completely defeat Gray, a roar that shook the sky and shook the earth came out, making everyone on this vast land couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and all turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came.
And 'Silver' stopped his movements without exception, because not only him, but even Gray in front of him could hear this roar, not a monster or a monster, but the roar of a dragon, especially the Fairy Tail who had just experienced a battle with a dragon, and they were even more familiar with such a roar.
However, no one could tell from the roar that it was coming from. But except for one person, it was Natsu, who was still stuck in the gap between the ice.
Silver, along with Gray, looked up at the sound in the air, and a dragon burning in flames appeared in their eyes.
βοΌοΌ β
Silver, who had always been calm and seemed to be indifferent to anything, finally changed and changed his face when he saw this dragon. Originally, in their plan, let Deliathai use degeneration magic to weaken the strength of the dragon, and several of them were working together to capture the dragon, but at this time, Deliathai was probably more than lucky, and the opposite dragon was so behemoth, 'Silver' had already given up the original plan in his heart.
The figure flashed, and the 'silver' that left an afterimage in place instantly appeared in front of the Hell Flame Dragon.
Although 'Silver' gave up his original plan, for a top mage like him, in the face of a dragon with such strength, he still couldn't leave it in his heart, and he still wanted to give it a try to see how much difference the strength between him and the dragon was.
At this time, he didn't doubt his own strength, and he ranked himself under the dragon on his own, but when he thought of it just now, with just a loud roar, the village that he had covered with ice was shaken open many cracks, and even some of the ice layers had been completely shattered in this roar.
"You made the village I guarded like this?" Seeing the appearance of 'Silver', the Hell Flame Dragon asked with a serious face.
In the face of the dragon's questioning, 'Silver' did not flinch or be timid, but instead showed his strong self-confidence and dignity as a top magician, and responded lightly: "So what? β
"It's you, then accept my punishment!" While staring at 'Silver', the Hell Flame Dragon's expression became very angry after hearing the other party's answer, and under the burning of anger, the flames on the Hell Flame Dragon's body also became more vigorous, which also made its body become even larger, and its entire body became more red in this anger.
Feeling the power exuded by the dragon, Silver's face did not change at all, but it set off a storm in his heart, as the first contact with the dragon, the heart of Silver' was hit very strongly, he didn't understand at all, in the battle of Kulokas some time ago, how humans defeated the dragon.
Gray, who was present at the time, had been easily defeated by him, although he had an absolute advantage in attributes, but in front of the dragon, Gray's strength was completely invincible, but whether it was Magic Weekly or any other magazine and newspaper, everyone praised the fairy tail to the sky.
Originally, it was only a half-believing idea, but at this time, the information released by those media has been completely denied. Not for anything else, just because the dragon in front of him had already made him lose the confidence that he could fight against it, let alone eight dragons at that time.
But in the spirit of planning from the beginning and wanting to try it out with the dragon, 'Silver' resolutely launched his attack in the face of the momentum and power that the dragon burst out.
As his hands spread, the mana on his body was also surging rapidly, turning the surrounding air flow extremely cold.
Suddenly, Silver's outstretched arms instantly rose upwards together.
At the same time, at the feet of the Hell Flame Dragon, a huge double-layered magic array instantly appeared, completely setting off the Hell Flame Dragon. At this time, the hands of 'Silver' suddenly clasped together.
'Boom! β
A loud sound came out, and after the 'silver' finished the complete release of the magic, a huge icicle completely wrapped the hell flame dragon into it, and the 'silver' saw that his magic had an effect, and the mana in his body continued to burst out, and almost all the mana in his body was converted into an ultra-low temperature icicle.
As the mana of 'Silver' continued to infuse, the icicles also continued to grow taller and thicker, encircling the Hell Flame Dragon in the inner three layers and the outer three layers, making it very difficult for the Hell Flame Dragon to blink even if he wanted to.
After a few more breaths, the silver fell from the sky, and the armor made of ice dissipated into the air as it landed.
As soon as he landed, Silver raised his head and looked at the unusually large icicle standing in mid-air.
βοΌοΌ β
It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, you can see that such a huge icicle, with his huge magic power, the magic constructed by it has actually cracked, and it is still cracking, and in just one breath, the entire icicle has been covered with countless cracks.
"It's... That's impossible! That's the magic that can freeze this village a few times! "Seeing that his magic, which had only lasted for a few breaths, was already crumbling and about to be broken, 'Silver' muttered to himself in disbelief.
'Boom!! β
As soon as the voice of 'Silver' muttered to himself, a dull loud noise suddenly came out. I saw that the icicles in mid-air suddenly shattered, and the Hell Flame Dragon in it suddenly stretched out its wings, bursting the huge icicles, and countless ice blocks shot out in all directions, making bursts of sound when cutting through the sky.
'Whoosh whoosh ......'
Countless sounds of fierce friction with the air sounded, and countless ice cubes turned into liquid after they had just shot out a short distance, and then sublimated into steam again after shooting a short distance, drifting towards the air.
'Whoa... Crash... Whoa......'
When the heat wave generated by the Hell Flame Dragon stretched out its wings and swept through the entire forest and even the entire village, the place that had been frozen was completely restored to its original state at the same time, and all the ice was vaporized by the heat wave and scattered in the air.
Seeing such a scene, after feeling that his previous magic had also been completely broken at this time, the expression of 'Silver' could no longer be described as shock, and it completely turned into fear, which was not a manifestation of cowering, but the most instinctive manifestation of the complete weakling's fear of the strong.
Feeling the dragon's gaze on him, Silver also woke up from his state of fear in an instant, and without saying much at the moment, he no longer had any other thoughts, and his decisive figure flashed, and he rushed out in an instant, rushing towards the meeting place they had already discussed.
Seeing the 'silver' leaving, the Hellfire Dragon did not chase after it, nor did it release its magic to attack, but waved its wings and slowly fell to the ground.
'Boom! β
With a fairly loud sound of landing, the surrounding dust and air waves swept out again. The surrounding trees were also in this wave of air and dust, and they all fell backwards, and even the leaves on the trees stretched out backwards in the air waves...
