Chapter 501

【"This… what on earth is going on??"】

【Looking at the Deliora that shattered so easily, whether it was Gray or Lyon, both were stunned in place.】

【It was just… they didn't notice any magic power released by Black Natsu just now.】

【He just simply reached out his hand and easily destroyed the immortal demon, Deliora?】

【"Haven't you realized it yet? Deliora… has long since died."】

【Just at this moment, Erza's voice came from behind Gray.】

【Following behind Erza were Lucy, Happy, and Mirajane.】

【Not long ago, Lucy was chased by Lyon's three subordinates, all the way to the coastline.】

【Must say, at the critical moment, Lucy still burst out with some potential.】

【In the situation of being forced into a three-on-two, she even turned the tables and borrowed Aquarius's power to take down one.】

【Happy also took the opportunity to knock one down with his dried fish.】

【However, the opponent's number was always a hurdle that couldn't be crossed.】

【Lucy and Happy, who had exhausted all their strength to defeat two, clearly had no more power to fight.】

【Fortunately, at this critical moment, Erza arrived, and with just one sword, she took down the guy who could use ripples to neutralize magic.】

【Subsequently, when the group was heading toward the ruins, they encountered many masked men blocking them.】

【It was also at this moment that the group met Mirajane.】

【The meeting of two S-Class existences meant that this battle had no suspense at all.】

【In less than a minute, the two of them cleared out everyone who came to block them.】

【Then they arrived here and saw such a scene.】

【Listening to Erza's words.】

【Gray's mouth grew wide: "Deliora… is already dead?"】

【"Yes."】

【Black Natsu, standing in front of the constantly crumbling Deliora, also spoke up.】

【"For so many years, Ur has been wearing down Deliora's life, and by now, Deliora was only on its last legs."】

【"Therefore, with just a light touch, that body, which had long since decayed, would completely shatter."】

【Lyon was also stunned, but following closely behind was unspeakable anger, and helplessness…】

【Lying on the ground, he clenched his fists tightly.】

【Tears of unwillingness spilled on the spot.】

【"Could it be that we… only witnessed Deliora's final moment??"】

【"Can't win…"】

【Lyon's body was trembling.】

【"I… simply can't win against Ur…"】

【Gray's eye sockets also gradually became moist.】

【Staring at the crumbling Deliora, his thoughts were myriad.】

【He seemed to have returned to his childhood, when he overestimated his abilities and went to challenge Deliora, which had destroyed his hometown.】

【No matter how much he tried his best, he couldn't cause any damage to that monster, and even his own life was in danger.】

【It was at that time that his Master, Ur, appeared and saved him.】

【Ur also understood his pain.】

【She did not want her disciple to live a life of hatred, fear, and darkness.】

【As a teacher, she made a decision.】

【Use Iced Shell! To seal Gray's darkness.】

【"The darkness in your heart, I will seal it!"】

【This was the word Ur said to Gray at that time.】

【Until this moment, the moment he saw Deliora completely shattered.】

【Gray truly understood the meaning of this sentence.】

【Deliora's darkness… at this moment completely receded along with its shattering.】

【Tears could no longer stop flowing down.】

【Along his cheeks, slowly dripping onto the ground.】

【Everything in the past seemed to have completely declared an end at this moment.】

【"Thank you… thank you…"】

【Gray's voice was trembling.】

【His figure also knelt powerlessly on the ground.】
