Chapter 56

Jellal, merged into one, stood before Brother Na Zi and Gray, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth, and said playfully: "Let's continue the battle from just now, let me see the strength of the Dragon Slayer Mages!"

"He's completely different from before!"

"Such strong magic power, is this Jellal's true strength?"

Gray looked at Jellal, his face full of solemnity.

Hum—

Just as Gray was speaking, the guard Jellal used as a sacrifice had his body submerged into the crystal.

After Gray noticed this, his heart sank instantly.

"Not good, Zeref is about to be resurrected!"

After Gray gritted his teeth and said this, he slammed his fist against the palm of his other hand.

【Ice-Make, Ice Hammer】

Hum—

At this moment, a magic circle instantly appeared before Gray.

Immediately after, a huge ice hammer charged directly toward the magic crystal.

Looking at his posture, it seemed he wanted to destroy the magic crystal and interrupt Zeref's resurrection ceremony.

"Is the target the sacrifice?"

Jellal saw Gray attacking the magic crystal, his expression shifting slightly.

"How could I let you succeed!"

As he spoke, Jellal waved his large hand.

"Heavenly Body Magic!"

Hum—

Suddenly, a golden magic circle appeared at the front of his palm.

Swish—

Immediately, a golden stream of light swept out from that magic circle, charging directly toward the huge ice hammer.

Bang—

After the golden stream of light hit the ice hammer, the ice hammer shattered into pieces instantly.

However, before those shattered ice fragments could land, Brother Na Zi had already rushed to Jellal's front.

"Fire Dragon's... Sword Horn!"

Brother Na Zi saw his hands wrapped in flames, and like an arrow released from a bow, he rammed his head directly toward Jellal.

However, just as Brother Na Zi's head was about to hit Jellal, Jellal moved his body to the side, avoiding Brother Na Zi's attack directly.

Before Jellal could catch his breath, Gray's magic charged over.

"Ice-Make, Ice Cannon"

Gray was carrying a cannon barrel made of ice on his shoulder, and an ice cannonball charged toward Jellal at an astonishing speed.

Jellal, who had avoided Brother Na Zi's attack and hadn't landed yet, saw the ice cannonball enlarging rapidly in his eyes, his expression changing suddenly.

"Can't dodge in the sky, perfect coordination, Brother Na Zi!"

Gray watched the cannonball charge straight at Jellal and praised Brother Na Zi in his heart.

Bang—

Subsequently, under Gray's gaze, the ice cannonball slammed directly into Jellal's body.

At this moment, a loud noise came from the air, and a large amount of ice fragments splashed in all directions.

"Did we get him?"

Gray put down the ice cannon he was carrying on his shoulder, looked at the place of the explosion, and said to himself.

But the next second, Gray saw only Jellal's black robe on the ground, while Jellal's true body had disappeared.

"Gone?"

Seeing Jellal disappear, Gray's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately scanned the surroundings.

Soon he saw Jellal, wearing short sleeves, floating in the sky, and a faint golden light was radiating from his body.

"Gray, what exactly are you aiming at? You only hit the clothes!"

Brother Na Zi saw that Gray didn't hit Jellal and shouted at Gray with a look of complaint.

"Less chatter!"

Facing Brother Na Zi's complaint, Gray didn't show weakness and retorted directly.

Perhaps Gray and Brother Na Zi didn't see Jellal's movements clearly.

But Ye Yu saw it.

The moment Gray's cannon was about to hit Jellal, Jellal cast the Heavenly Body Magic 【Meteor】.

Through the enhancement of 【Meteor】, Jellal's speed increased greatly.

In just an instant, he avoided the cannonball's attack and moved to the sky.

"Humph, two people joining forces, and this is all the strength you have?"

Jellal, floating in the sky, said playfully.

Then his figure turned into a stream of light and rushed directly toward Gray.

Bang—

Before Gray could react, Jellal had already rushed to Gray's front and launched an attack on Gray.

"So fast, I can't see him at all!"

Gray, suffering a heavy blow, shouted with a look of shock.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
