Chapter 404

You're too gentle, Maple. "

Elosa sighed helplessly.

Maple smiled and said, "Lucy has already understood her mistake. It's fine as long as she understands that she won't make the same mistake again. It's not the Fairy's style to pursue past responsibilities."

Elosa's gaze softened a little as she looked at Lucy. She sheathed her sword and pointed to the towering ruins in the center of the island.

"Is that the place?"

"Yes, that's the place."

Lucy immediately nodded.

Elosa walked in the direction of the ruins and said, "Then let's hurry over."

Maple also stepped forward. At the same time, he glanced at Lucy, who was still frozen in place, and said with a chuckle, "What's wrong? Do you want me to carry you?"

"N-no."

Lucy's cheeks turned red. She quickly shook her head and followed quickly.

The three of them quickly crossed the forest and mountains and arrived in front of the ruins in the center of Kama Island.

This was a huge towering ancient ruin. It looked like a peculiar pyramid-shaped building, and it was obvious that it had a very ancient style.

Elosa looked at the ruins and frowned slightly. "I don't feel Nazi and Gray's magic power. Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, this is where we encountered the enemy."

Lucy nodded, her gaze a little grim. "I don't know the specifics, but the enemies who want to resurrect the demon are very strong. Nazgray and I were scattered in the battle … In short, it's most important to organize them to resurrect the demon first."

Maple stood in front of the ruins with his hands behind his back. His gaze passed through the ruins and looked at the bottom of the center of the ruins. There was a huge block of ice there, and a demon was frozen in the ice.

Demon Daleora.

"Daleora."

Maple said calmly.

His voice caused Lucy and Elosa to turn their heads. Lucy was slightly surprised and asked, "Brother Maple, you … know that demon?"

Maple said with an easygoing expression. "One of the demons created by Jerv. He's also one of the strongest demons. His strength is probably close to the level of Ishgar's Four Heavenly Kings, and he's stronger than ordinary Ten Holy Magi."

"About ten years ago, he attacked a village in the north and killed all of Gray's family. After Gray learned magic, he went to seek revenge, but he was easily defeated. In order to save Gray, Gray's master, Uru, fought a fierce battle with Daleora, but in the end, he was forced to use the forbidden magic 'Absolute Freeze.' At the cost of his own life, he turned into ice and sealed the demon Daleora in ice."

Maple's simple explanation was more detailed than Gray's.

He said casually, "Don't worry, that demon is already dead. Even if the ice melts, he can't come back to life. Besides, even if he does come back to life, I can deal with him."

Elosa didn't doubt Maple's words at all. Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I can rest assured. Lucy, come with me to deal with those people!"

"Okay …"

Lucy replied weakly.

The two of them directly rushed in from the front of the ruins, and soon encountered the leader of the group who was trying to break the Absolute Ice and release Deliora, Gray's senior brother, Leo!

"Tsk, it's the fairy's tail again. You guys are so annoying."

When Leo saw Elosa and Lucy, he noticed the fairy's tail emblem on Elosa's shoulder, and immediately showed a look of annoyance.

Compared to before, Lucy was now full of confidence. After all, she knew that Maple was behind her, and Elosa was beside her. So, she took out an Astral Key, raised her chin, and said with a confident look, "This time, you guys better surrender quickly!"

"Surrender? Are you joking? "

Leo snorted lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Go get rid of her."

"Yes!"

The numerous subordinates wearing headscarves on the side responded one after another and rushed towards Lucy.

Elosa roughly glanced at them and judged that the people wearing headscarves were very ordinary High Mages who couldn't do anything to Lucy. She retracted her gaze, looked at Leo, and said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what your goal is, I'm sorry to say that I won't let you achieve it."

"Then, why don't you come and try?"

Leo said with a cold expression, a touch of cold air appearing between his hands, condensing into pieces of frost.

"Hmph!"

Elosa snorted lightly, brandished her sword, and rushed forward to clash with Leo.

Her strength was naturally nearly two levels higher than Leo's. Even if she didn't deliberately use ice-resistant armor, and only fought with the most ordinary of clothes, she still easily suppressed Leo, and beat him into a retreat.

He didn't expect Elosa to be so strong, and Leo was also somewhat in disbelief. However, he was naturally unwilling to lose, so he gritted his teeth and continued to fight Elosa.

On the other side.

Maple didn't pay too much attention to the battle between Elosa and Leo. Elosa alone was enough to deal with the people above. He directly strolled into the ruins and came to the bottom of the ruins, where the frozen demon Deliora was.

He simply glanced at Deliora, then retracted his gaze. Then, he tilted his head to look in another direction, and calmly said, "There's no need to hide there. Come out."

In a corner.

A strange laughter came from the dark shadows.

"Kekekeke …"

A skinny and short old man wearing a mask appeared there. With a leap, he landed on a stone pillar and said, "I didn't expect the Fairy Queen and you, who rejected the position of one of the Council's Ten Great Magic Masters, to come here. What a miscalculation. It seems like the Zero Emperor's plan is going to fail."

Maple looked at the old man with a faint smile and said, "What Zero Emperor? Plan? Do you really hate your mother Ulu that much? Even if her life is turned into ice, you still want to melt it, Urutia. "

“！！！”

The masked old man suddenly stiffened.

Swoosh!

The next instant, Maple raised his hand and tore off the old man's mask from a distance of more than ten meters. Then, he flicked his finger and dispelled her transformation magic.

With a flash of white smoke, the 'little old man' was forcefully banished back to his original form. He turned into a young girl wearing a loose white kimono. She held a crystal ball in one hand and wore a white scarf around her neck.

It was the grown-up Urutia!

Compared to her when she was young, the current Urutia had undoubtedly grown a lot. She was no longer the same as she was when she was young. Even Jellal, one of the Ten Great Magic Masters, was under her control. Although she was surprised to see Maple again, she wasn't afraid.

"Oh my, I've been discovered."

Urrutia held the crystal ball with one hand. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, "As expected of you. You saw through my disguise so easily."

Maple placed his hands behind his back and looked at her in an easygoing manner. "You don't think that such a shoddy disguise would be able to deceive me, do you? You don't have anything on you that can block my sight. Speaking of which, it seems that you still can't get rid of the words I wrote that year."

"…"

Urutia's expression stiffened when she heard Maple mention the words she wrote.

Ever since she met Maple at the Paradise Tower, she had returned to the guild. However, no matter what method she used, she couldn't get rid of the words on her neck. Even the guild leader was powerless.

As a result, she had no choice but to wear a scarf to cover the words on her neck. Otherwise, if she was seen, it would give rise to many strange thoughts.

Because the words were —

Positive.

Urutia snorted and said with an unfriendly gaze, "I was just about to go look for you. It's about time to get rid of this boring magic."

The reason why she couldn't get rid of the words was because a tactic magic had been used on the words. The words themselves were connected to her life. Not only was she unable to get rid of them, she even had to protect the words.

After the guild leader of the Eternal Night Sanctuary studied the words, he came to the conclusion that this kind of magic could only be dispelled by the caster herself.

Maple smiled lightly. There was a hint of interest in his eyes. He said, "What if I don't dispel it?"

Urutia said coldly, "Then prepare to die here … I'm no longer the me from back then. The difference between my current magic power and that of back then is like heaven and earth!"

Meeting Feng Ye was unexpected. However, the current her was no longer afraid of Feng Ye!

She was also an existence at the level of one of the Ten Great Saint Magicians. Moreover, she had mastered the lost magic, Arc of Time!

As soon as she said that, a surge of magical waves surged from her body in an instant. The magical waves were not inferior to the level of the 10 Saint Great Magic Casters at all. They soared into the sky, causing the magical factors in the sky above Kama Island to tremble.
