When the sun was completely obscured, leaving only a faint halo on the outside, a strange mist filled the entire Great Demon Fighting Arena.

"Our body...", both the players on the field and the passers-by in the audience were horrified to discover a fact. Their bodies, or rather age, are shrinking at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

The young man transforms into a child, while the elderly... He also became a child. To be precise, the entire arena, regardless of gender, age or child, as long as it is human, has turned into a child.

Rejuvenation? No! It's a human degradation spell!

All the magical, physical and magical defenses of all magicians are degrading and weakening at an extremely fast rate. The change in age is only a side effect, and the actual age of the human who has fallen under this spell does not change at all, but the body has become smaller.

Just when everyone in the martial arts arena was overwhelmed by this sudden change, and looked at each other with a confused expression, Germain walked into the arena with steps. The tall figure was unusually striking at this moment.

"The old man will kill all of you!"

"The tail of the fairy, the scales of the snake queen... And those miscellaneous guilds, all destroyed! ”

"Only an old man deserves to be the first! You bastards! ”

Germain, who thought he had a chance to win, stood at the top of the ring and made a big noise. The power of the spell system in the body that belongs to the demon is unscrupulously vented at the moment.

The smaller palace guards tried to subdue him, but they couldn't even cast the most basic illumination spell due to the effect of the degeneration spell. Even the guild leaders of the major formal guilds can only unleash a few basic spells. Don't talk about subduing him, you can't even hurt the other party.

The entire Great Demon Martial Arts Arena exploded in an instant, and the audience fled out in horror. But it was blocked by black shadows.

"Human... You can't go anywhere. The demon who had been hiding in the shadows lifted the black cloth wrapped around his body, and finally revealed his true face.

A skeleton, or rather a skeleton with wings on its back. It held a large, sharp scythe in one hand. In the other hand, he held the skull staff.

"You have only one choice, surrender to the feet of the Immortal or surrender to the feet of the Immortal after I kill you."

"Holy Light!" Even Makarov, who was strong enough to reach the Ten Saint Rank, could only release a faint amount of Holy Light.

Mebis is unaffected, but she's in "ghost" form. No entity can cast magic.

Only Germain, Mineba, and the winged skeleton were unaffected.

Mineba reverts to her original queen form, and she has no pressure to face Kagura and Elusa after she has become smaller.

"Come out, my little darlings!" The winged skeleton held the skeletal staff aloft again, and the otherwise calm ground resounded. Countless white skeletons emerged from the ground, all armed with bone knives and bone shields. In the two hollow eye sockets, blue-green soul flames danced.

In less than a moment, everyone was under the control of these skeletons.

And the silver, one of the Nine Ghost Gates... At this time, he was half-kneeling in front of the diminutive Gray. His body is fading away!

"I haven't seen you in seventeen years, and you've surpassed me to become so powerful. Gray... My child, I'm really relieved. "The maker of the summoning silver, Dark Monk Keith, was defeated at the beginning of the Fifth Day Melee. Silver only dragged the broken soul with a perseverance, and it was a rare thing to persist until now.

He didn't care about Jermain's plans and the skeleton's plans, and he didn't care about Hades. He's here for one thing, to see his son one last time.

In a previous battle with his own son, he lost. The defeat was complete, but it was very gratifying.

Your own children have grown up...

At this time, Germain walked in front of Silver and stepped on Silver's body without mercy. Then he kicked him in the heart one after another as if he was venting, and kept cursing: "Didn't you just say that you were going to kill the old man?" ”

"What Nine Ghost Gates... According to the old man, it is nothing more than that. ”

"Wasn't it arrogant just now? Come on, kill the old man! ”

The angry and corrupt appearance is quite a bit of a villain's image.

"What are you doing?! What have you done? Gray then recovered from the shock of learning of his origins, and looked at Germain, who was punching and kicking his father.

His father, who died when he was very young, reappeared, and he finally recognized him but disappeared.

The mentality explodes instantly!

"Ice Demon Destroying Method* Ice Demon's Passion!" Make the same pose as the Natsu dragon roars.

"Useless little ghost, you don't even have half ... What the! Germain paid no attention to Gray's movements, and the extremely cold frost breath nearly drowned him outright.

Most of his body was frozen in an instant, but fortunately, his reaction was fast, otherwise he would have turned into an ice sculpture.

"Impossible... I've become a demon, why can the ice hurt me? Germain looked at the frostbite in disbelief. There was a heart-piercing pain from the wound, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"That's no ordinary cold!"

It's like you're targeting your own demonic body.

Gray ignored Germain and hurried over to his father. Maybe it's because the body is getting smaller, and the mind is also getting smaller. Looking at his father, whose body was gradually disappearing, Gray burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.

Silver just gently stroked Gray's side face: "You were like that seventeen years ago. It's great to be able to see you like this again before I disappear. ”

Gray just choked and hugged Silver, and couldn't make a sound in his throat. As Silver's body grew fainter, his voice began to become choppy.

"Remember the strength I left you... You use that power to destroy... Hades, destroy the demons... Let's go. ”

Countless particles of light rose into the sky with a breeze.

"Ahhhh Even though Silver's body was gone, Gray still held it in the void. It was as if his father would continue to exist.

"No matter what kind of cold it is, it's just a little ghost after all." Germain also recovered from his initial fear and gradually stabilized his mood and regained his self-confidence. Germain kept reassuring himself in his heart, the other party was just a little ghost, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

I'm not the same as I used to be.

It's different!

"Father, I will use the power you gave me to kill those demons, kill those demons who destroyed our hometown and destroyed our family."

Gray looked up, his blue eyes filled with murderous intent. is only ten years old, but it gives Jermain the illusion that he is being targeted by natural enemies. Under the gaze of the other party, Jermain's body couldn't move for half a minute. The self-confidence that had just been mustered up was instantly shattered, and he didn't even have the courage to turn around and run away.

"Ice Demon Slayer Method* Ice Demon's Breath!" Thick frost covered Germain's body, forming a huge ice sculpture. I heard a crack, and the ice sculpture shattered into countless pieces.

Silver's legacy left to Gray before his death - the Ice Demon Slayer Method!

That's a power specifically against demons! Won't be weakened by the effects of the Human Degradation Spell!

Demonizing Germain... Die!
