Ultear could only hear the sound of air being torn apart and the sound of wind pressure mixed together. Her eyes could not keep up with Noah's speed at all, and she could only rely on her instincts to release magic for defense.
The hastily formed magic shield was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks under the onslaught of the dark iron fist before it could even take shape.
Uruti Asia knew that this level of defense was nothing more than a thin layer of ice in front of a master of physical combat, and that she was only trying to buy some time.
Tearing through the light barrier, the instant Noah broke through the magic shield, he saw Ultear with her right fist clenched and her left hand resting on it.
The pale blue magic exuded a chill.
Hundreds of ice thorns erupted from beneath Urudia's feet, striking Noah one after another as if they were alive, until they forced him back before stopping.
Under Urutia's control, the ice plants frantically spewed out icy mist, instantly creating a thorny jungle ten meters in diameter.
Translucent flower buds bulged on the surface of the thorns, and hundreds of ice roses bloomed at the same time. Pale pink halos flowed along the veins of the thorns, turning this pale thorn jungle into a pink ice rose garden.
[Ice Shape] Magic!
Unlike Gray's static creations, Urtia's creations are unique plant forms.
Noah, forced to retreat, frowned slightly as he watched this scene.
Shape-making magic is not uncommon, so Noah wasn't surprised when Ultear used the same type of [Ice Shape] as Gray.
However, Ultear's hand gestures when casting spells were exactly the same as Gray's when using [Ice Shape], which made Noah suspicious.
What is your relationship with Gray?
Upon hearing Gray's name, Ultear fiercely pierced her palm with her fingertips, using the pain to forcefully suppress the trace of jealousy in her heart, as well as the heartache that had not healed even after more than ten years.
Although he did not receive an answer, Noah was certain that Ultear and Grey must have some kind of special connection.
If they're unwilling to talk, then let's try communicating with our fists.
He spun around and kicked away the oncoming ice thorns, his body covered in Armament Haki, and Noah leaped into Ultear's Ice Rose Garden.
In an instant, large amounts of broken ice were scattered everywhere.
However, under the influence of Ultear's [Arc of Time], her ice plants instantly returned to their state before they were destroyed by Noah.
Whether Noah's stamina will give out first, or Ultear's magic will run out first, we'll only know after their tug-of-war ends.
...
Black Feather Sword - Eclipse and Lunar Retracement!
Erza used the same technique that had instantly defeated Ikaruga, but the gathering of crimson and silver light abruptly stopped.
A spell called "Binding Serpent" had somehow wrapped itself around Erza, imprisoning her effortlessly. The feeling of having one's magic interrupted is not pleasant.
"This is the difference between us, Erza."
Taking advantage of Erza's immobility, Jellal placed his hands together, extended seven fingers, and a dazzling magic spell was instantly completed within the starlight magic circle.
"Accept the Seven Stars' punishment."
"Seven Star Sword!"
Seven magic circles were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper and lit up one by one above Erza.
By the time Erza broke free of the binding snakes, it was too late. The Big Dipper magic circle aligned, and seven blinding golden rays sealed her within.
The thick, long starlight was unstoppable, each beam possessing immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth. In the blink of an eye, the black-feathered sword and armor shattered together, and the red-haired girl's figure also disintegrated, annihilated in the light of the Seven Star Sword.
Gerald was stunned by what he saw.
What happened? Erza just died like that?!
She was indeed not as strong as me, but she shouldn't have died so easily at my hands.
Jellal looked around, trying to find Erza, but not only was there no sign of the red-haired girl, but Noah and Ultear, who were fighting on the other side, had also disappeared.
Gerald was the only one left on the entire island.
There was not a sound, as if the world had fallen into dead silence.
Before Gerald could do anything, darkness enveloped the surroundings, accompanied by a sinister "hehehehe" laugh, and the island beneath their feet transformed into a monster with its gaping maw.
Gerald raised his hand in disgust, and six magical celestial bodies spiraled down, blasting the monster beneath his feet into pieces.
Just as Gerald relaxed slightly, the cackling laughter came again. Looking in the direction of the sound, Gerald saw that the monster had gotten up again unharmed, but its body was twice the size of before.
"You're just playing tricks, I'd like to see how many times you can die!"
Holding the nebula in his hand, Gerald traced a seven-pointed star trajectory in front of him, and the magical celestial body with an emerald tail flame once again shattered the monster.
Fragments of starlight and monster debris floated in the air, but in the next second they miraculously coalesced, and the monster stood up again.
Gerald's pupils suddenly contracted; the resurrected monster almost reached the dome, its enormous body blotting out the sky.
One after another, hideous faces appeared on the monster's body. These were Gerald's companions from his memories who had been enslaved by the Tower of Paradise. They had all died seven years ago when they rebelled against the guardians of Paradise.
"You've deceived everyone!"
You hurt everyone!
"You killed Erza!"
"..."
The "undesir" cursed Gerald incessantly, their voices echoing and giving Gerald a splitting headache; even when he covered his ears, the curses still reached his brain.
"A bunch of dead men! Don't get in my way!"
"Seven Stars..."
The monster grabbed his raised hand, and the immense force made Geralt feel as if his palm was shattered.
Looking at those bloodied faces, Gerald was gripped by a nameless fear and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Countless sharp teeth and claws devoured Geral alive.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Enveloped in despair, Jellal coughed up a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, everything around him turned upside down, and he was back on the island where he had fought Erza.
Erza was completely bewildered when she saw Jellal's pale face.
She felt like she was going to die, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Gerald's Seven Star Sword suddenly dissipated, and he himself became dazed, his eyes unfocused, and even his magic became chaotic.
This state lasted less than a minute before Gerald vomited blood, as if he had suffered a severe mental blow.
Gerald finally realized he'd been ambushed with "mental" magic. "You did it, didn't you! You despicable white-haired devil!"
Noah, who was beating up the ice plant, slowly typed a question mark. What happened? He didn't seem to have done anything to Gerald yet.
Urudia sensed something and looked toward a corner of the island. "Who's there! Come out!"
This soft shout made Noah and the other two turn to look.
In a corner of the once empty island, ripples appeared in the air, like a mirror breaking apart, revealing a figure within.
He was dressed in a completely black robe, with five magic wands on his back.
Noah and Erza were both surprised to see the intruding mage; they hadn't expected to meet him here.
The mage who used mental magic to ambush Jellal was none other than Mystogan, the most mysterious man in Fairy Tail!
