Chapter 509: Jerry Takes Action (First Update)
Chapter 509: Jerry Takes Action (First Update)
Among all the mages present, only Uru had the experience of fighting Daleo with full strength, so she knew very well how powerful Daleo's Demon's Roar attack was.
Ten years ago, when she went to save Gray, she had braced herself against this Magic attack.
The result was that she couldn't block it at all!
If she hadn't dodged quickly enough, that single attack would have taken her life.
Even so, she lost a leg because she dodged a step too slow.
At that moment, she realized that she was no match for Daleo alone and couldn't kill it. That's why she used the life-sacrificing Magic, Absolute Freeze, to seal it.
"Demon's Roar!"
Daleo roared, and a massive and terrifying energy beam shot directly toward Erza and Natsu.
The black energy beam first made contact with the giant ice shield Uru had raised.
However, that seemingly massive ice shield barely held for a moment before being shattered by the black energy beam, unable to withstand it.
"Ice Make: Shield!"
"Ice Make: Shield!"
Gray and Leo struggled to squeeze out the last bit of magic power from their bodies and raised two more ice shields.
Unfortunately, even Uru's ice shield couldn't hold it back, and Gray and Leo's ice shields were no match. With two sharp cracks, the ice shields crumbled.
After breaking through three ice shields, the black energy beam continued without much weakening, rushing toward Erza and Natsu.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion as the black energy engulfed Erza and Natsu, then continued forward, its power carving a long crack in the ground before disappearing into the sea.
If one looked down from a high vantage point, it would be clear that the island had been sliced, the deep gash almost splitting it in two.
This demonstrated the immense power of Daleo's Demon's Roar.
"Erza, Natsu!"
Seeing the black light pass, and Erza and Natsu completely disappear, Lucy and Happy's eyes turned red, and they almost burst into tears.
But at that moment, a voice full of relief came from behind them:
"Phew, glad I reacted quickly, or I would have been hit!"
Everyone turned to see Jerry, holding Natsu in one hand and Erza in the other.
Clearly, Jerry had used spatial magic to save Erza and Natsu from the black energy beam just in time.
Frankly, even Jerry was startled by the power of Daleo's Demon's Roar. It was truly formidable.
Moreover, he could sense that the energy beam contained the unique dark energy of a demon.
After setting down Erza and Natsu, Jerry vanished in a blur, activating Phantom Shift again to bring Uru and her two exhausted apprentices, who had become Daleo's next targets, to safety.
"Damn it, with our strength, we can't kill it completely!"
Leo punched the ground, no longer confident in his ability to face Daleo alone.
After truly fighting Daleo, he realized that his strength was far behind, not just compared to Daleo, but even to his master, Uru.
"Leave it to me. I'll use Absolute Freeze to seal it again. Seeing you all grow up healthy and become outstanding mages has already made me very happy."
Uru reached out and gently ruffled Leo and Gray's hair, her tone light.
At this moment, the only one who remained calm besides Jerry was Uru, as she had long been prepared to reseal Daleo.
"No, this time it's my turn!"
Gray took a step forward, his eyes filled with determination.
He never wanted to see Uru sacrifice herself again. This matter started because of him, and it should end because of him.
"Hmph, as a junior, you want to steal the limelight from your senior. Just stand back with Uru!"
Leo stood up and ran straight toward Daleo, clearly planning to use Absolute Freeze to sacrifice himself and seal Daleo.
"Aah!"
However, he didn't get far before Jerry's leg whipped out, sending him flying back.
"Don't be rash, it hasn't come to that yet!"
Jerry was impressed by the willingness of the three to sacrifice their lives, but there was no need for such a dramatic farewell.
Even if one of them were to sacrifice themselves to ice-seal Daleo, it wouldn't be a true sacrifice.
He was still around, and it was just a matter of when to unseal them. After all, Uru had been sealed for ten years, and it only took him ten hours to restore her.
"Jerry, do you have any ideas?"
Erza stepped forward, her expression serious.
Master Makarov had once told her that Jerry might possess extremely powerful magic, but he was humble and dedicated to his research, so he hadn't shown it.
Now, with so many people unable to match Daleo, if Jerry really was as powerful as the Master said, there was a glimmer of hope.
"There's a clever way, maybe it will work. Let me try!"
Jerry smiled, nodded, and then vanished with a Phantom Shift.
Originally, given Daleo's displayed strength, he might not have been able to defeat him without using some high-powered magic.
However, after seeing the power of Daleo's Demon's Roar, he had a new idea, a clever and easy way to deal with Daleo.
Meanwhile, Ultear, hiding in the shadows, was in a deep dilemma.
Although she claimed that the current Uru didn't deserve to be her mother, seeing Uru truly resurrected made her feel a sense of joy.
But when she saw Uru, Gray, and Leo so happy together, she fell into jealousy and hatred, even hoping that Daleo would kill them all.
Yet, when she saw Uru and the others almost overwhelmed and about to be killed by Daleo, she became confused again.
Finally, when she heard Uru planning to sacrifice herself again to seal Daleo, her face twisted with extreme anger:
"You're willing to sacrifice yourself for adopted disciples but abandon me. Do I disgust you so much? Die, just die! When the Great Magic Era arrives, I will find true happiness!"
She decided not to intervene, waiting for Daleo to kill everyone on the island before using her method to control Daleo and take him back to Master Hades.
Just as she made up her mind, she frowned, seeing the mysterious mage Jerry preventing Uru and the others from using Absolute Freeze, and instead using spatial magic to appear in front of Daleo.
