Chapter 51

The Magic Council!

"Your plan seems to have failed!"

Ultear, with long hair and dressed in white, reported to a man in white clothing before her.

The man had short, ocean-wave-like blue hair, with a tattoo over his right eye.

This man was none other than Jellal.

To be precise, it was Jellal's Thought Projection lurking in the Council—Siegrain.

Although Ultear didn't say much, Jellal knew that the failure she referred to was the plan to capture Erza.

"I never held much hope for those guys to begin with!"

Jellal said nonchalantly, then a smirk curled at the corner of his mouth as he continued: "What's important is the plan here; once the Etherion falls, everything will be over!"

"Is it finally going to end?"

Ultear scanned the surroundings, as if bidding farewell to this place.

"By the way, Lord Siegrain, that mage I mentioned to you last time has joined Fairy Tail!"

"Are you talking about that man who, like you, can use Arc of Time magic?"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Ultear's confirmation, a look of interest appeared on Jellal's face: "Fairy Tail, huh? That's quite interesting. I really want to cross blades with him and see if he's as strong as you say!"

Ultear echoed: "After the plan succeeds, Lord Siegrain, you will surely get your wish!"

Just as Jellal and Ultear were speaking, a Council staff member walked over and reminded Jellal: "Lord Siegrain, the meeting is about to begin!"

Hearing this, Jellal stood up immediately, a gleam of light shining in his eyes: "There is no one left who can stop me!"

Having said that, Jellal walked out of the room.

And Ultear, following behind Jellal, had an imperceptible smirk on her lips.

Just as the Council was holding its meeting, Ye Yu and Natsu's group were traveling by ship toward the Tower of Heaven, where Jellal's true body was located.

"Look, that's the Tower of Heaven!"

Simon pointed to a tall tower standing on the water ahead and said to the group.

Hearing Simon's words, Ye Yu, Erza, and the others all looked up.

"Is this the Tower of Heaven?"

Ye Yu looked at the tower and immediately activated his Perception Magic.

Soon, a large number of magic power reactions appeared within Ye Yu's perception.

"The Tower of Heaven, it was actually completed?"

Erza, dressed in silver-white battle armor, looked at the tower-like structure, her brows furrowing instantly.

"Big Sister, if we go any further, we will enter the attack range of the Tower of Heaven!"

"If we sail over like this, we will definitely be treated as live targets!"

As the ship drew closer to the Tower of Heaven, Sho, who had been released from the different dimension by Ye Yu, immediately reminded Erza.

Clearly, Sho had also learned the truth about Jellal deceiving them from Simon and Millianna.

Right now, like Millianna, he just wanted to settle the score with Jellal.

"Then what should we do? Should we dive through the water?"

Gray observed the surroundings and then suggested.

At this moment, Ye Yu stood up and said: "Just walk over!"

"Walk? There's no road here!"

The cat-girl Millianna looked at Ye Yu and said.

Ye Yu didn't answer Millianna immediately; he simply spread his palm and thrust it into the water beneath the ship.

Hum—

The next second, a bone-chilling cold air spread out in all directions like ripples, centered on Ye Yu's palm.

And the water surface within a radius of several thousand meters was instantly frozen.

"Now there's a road!"

Ye Yu replied to Millianna, then stepped onto the thick ice and headed directly toward the Tower of Heaven.

Watching Ye Yu's departing back, Lucy, Millianna, and the others were all dumbfounded, the shock in their hearts lingering for a long time.

"So amazing!!"

"Too amazing, he actually froze this entire area in an instant!"

Sho scanned the frozen area around them and said with an expression of amazement.

"Not just Space Magic, even his Ice Magic is powerful to this extent. Ye Yu, who exactly are you..."

Erza, who had stood up from the ship, looked at Ye Yu's back ahead, her eyes flickering as she thought to herself.

"Natsu, hurry up and get up, we're here!"

Happy pushed Natsu, who was like a pile of mush.

Hearing Happy's words, Natsu, whose face was pale, struggled to open his eyes.

When he saw that the surroundings were frozen, he instantly revived from his seasickness, full of energy.

"So amazing, did Ye Yu do this?"

As he spoke, Natsu jumped onto the ice and stomped on it hard a few times.

"Natsu, what are you doing?"

Seeing Natsu's dangerous behavior, Lucy asked aloud.

"I'm testing if this ice is sturdy!"

Bang—

No sooner had Natsu finished speaking than Lucy punched him.

"Last time on Galuna Island, it was you who caused us to fall from that dilapidated palace!"

Lucy scolded him crossly.

When Ye Yu and Natsu's group approached the Tower of Heaven within a certain distance, the guards on the tower discovered them.

Without a word, those guards launched an attack on Ye Yu's group.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Facing the guards' attack, Natsu took a deep breath and unleashed a "Fire Dragon's Roar."

Gray, on the side, was not to be outdone; he slammed his fist into his palm, and a huge magic circle appeared before him.

"Ice-Make: Ice Hammer!"

A huge ice hammer and a cluster of violent flames charged directly toward those guards.

Ahhh—

At this moment, the guards screamed repeatedly.

"Oh~ so amazing, Big Sister, are all the mages in your guild this strong?"

Seeing Natsu and Gray send all those guards flying, Sho said aloud.

At the same time, the mechanical notification sound of the system reached Ye Yu's mind.
