Chapter 523

A massive wave of heat swept across the entire clearing.

Gray immediately used Ice-Make to conjure a large ice wall.

It enveloped all his companions behind him.

At the same time, he began complaining about Natsu: "Honestly, how does this guy not know how to gauge the severity of things?"

But complaints aside, Gray still looked at the layer of smoke with a face full of expectation.

All he could do was protect the companions behind him.

To prevent the already injured them from being swept by the blaze once more.

"How could this be!"

A flash of shock appeared in Erza's eyes, and the smoke gradually dispersed at this moment.

Ben's body gradually emerged from the smoke.

The red leather coat on his body had already been burned away, and his entire upper body had become like a piece of charcoal.

Heat continuously erupted upward from Ben's body, and parts of his body had even begun to peel off.
