Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Start of the conflict

Fucking Finally!!!

Erza was shacking, Gray´s action and words had affected her more than Gray and Lucy could ever imagine.

Because Gray had called Erza out on her bluff, Erza never planned to actually hurt them, ok maybe punching Gray and Natsu a few times but nothing to major.

Gray let go of the sword, a trail of blood flew from his hand, while Erza lowered her sword.

“I will do what I want till the end. Cut me down if you want.” said Gray as he left the tent.

Zeldaris narrowed his eyes has Gray passed him, while Aversia had a small smile on her face.

Erza gritted her teeth, a mix of emotions were rampaging through her, anger, frustration, pride and many more.

Lucy and Happy could only try in calming down Erza, the two half dragons on the other side decided to watch and see what answer she will reach inside her heart.

But they didn´t had to wait long, because the second that the last drop of blood fell from her sword, her eyes were filled with determination and were as sharp as ever.

Without any hesitation she swung her sword toward Lucy and Happy, who both screamed in fear.

Zeldaris and Aversia didn´t move because there was no reason to, they knew at what Erza was aiming.

Erza cut through the ropes that were binding Happy and Lucy, freeing them.

Both of them stared confused and dumbfoundedly at the ropes and then at Erza.

Erza turned around and walked toward the exit.

“Let´s go.” was all she said to the two, confusing them even more.

“This is absurd. We will continue this after we finish this job. But don´t misunderstand all of you are still in a lot of trouble and will be punished severely for this, if not thrown out of the guild, for this.”

Not waiting for the reaction of the two Erza walked before the two half dragons and asked,” Can I count on you two?”

“” Always.”” answered both of them at the same time.

Not saying anything more Erza walked out of the tent with Zeldaris and Aversia right behind her, Lucy and Happy hurriedly came after them.

“What now? Should we look for Natsu?” asked Lucy after she and Happy caught up with the others.

“There is no need for that Lucy.” answered Zeldaris.

“And why is that? We could really use him! The more people we have with us the better!”

“Because we are talking about Natsu. He is probably on his way to that temple that this Leon guy and his group are using as their headquarters, or he is already there and is causing mayhem.” Answered Aversia with a smile.

Both Happy and Lucy thought for a moment and agreeing with her, Natsu was not the type that would wait around and would straight up face his enemies.

“Then we should hurry, if even Gray was not a match for that Leon than Natsu will be in trouble.”

“Lucy, you are underestimating that little brother of mine quite a lot. There is more to him then just brute strength, his tenacity and willpower are second to none. Natsu is also not as dumb as you think, when it comes to fighting, he is a genius and will grow with each and every fight. And to be fair he will need all of that if he really wants to reach the point where he can call himself a true dragon slayer.”

Lucy was shocked by Aversia´s words, specially by the last part.

Did that mean that Natsu, one of the most powerful mages that Lucy had ever met, was still not powerful enough to be called a true dragon slayer?

 “I don´t want to interrupt your little conversation but we should hurry up” said Zeldaris suddenly.

 

Meanwhile at the old temple that Leon and his group use as their base of operation, Natsu was causing mayhem, by destroying the temple.

He was destroying the pillars that supported the temple at only one side, making the whole temple crumbling down and leaning toward that side.

It was actually a brilliant plan, because Leon needed to have a direct from the top of the temple, from where the ritual of Moon Drip was held, to the frozen body of the demon Deliora was.

The body of Deliora was encased by ice that was supposed to be the remains of Gray´s and Leon´s teacher Ur, who sacrificed herself to save Gray and stop Deliora.

Leon and his group had used Moon Drip to melt the ice, which was otherwise almost invincible, trying to free the demon from its frozen prison.

And the reason for it all, so that he could fight and kill the demon, to prove that he was better than his teacher.

They had been doing this for three years now and were in reach of their goal, only one or two more nights and the demon would be free, but not anymore.

After inspecting his work, Natsu looked up and saw one of the guys that had attacked the village through a hole in the ceiling.

The guy in question was called Toby and let´s just say that he was weird.

“WHAT?! HIM?!” shouted Toby in utter confusion.

“Fairy Tail!!!” spat Leon.

“My, my, you are quite clever despite your appearance.” added Leon´s adviser Zarti.

He was a short middle-aged man that wore simple clothes that were hidden under a large beige coat, while most of his face was hidden by a large mask, with only his mouth free.

The mask had a triable design, with short horns on the side and the top.

There was also a pelt attached that reached down to his back and two bangs that reached past his shoulders.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” yelled Toby.

Zatri explained Natsu´s simple but good plan to Toby.

“Put a sock into it already!” yelled Natsu as he engulfed his feet in flames.

Natsu continued to poor flames from his feet, propelling him upward with insane speed and not long after lifting of the ground he headbutted Leon into the stomach.

Leon begun to crack and turned into ice before shattering into pieces, what Natsu attacked was just a puppet made out of ice.

“You won´t be able to dodge in mid-air.” said Leon, who was standing more than ten meters away, and used his magic to create eagles made out of ice.

However, Natsu was able to dodge by using his flame breath to push him to the ground and landing on his hands.

And the second he landed, Natsu stretched out his feet toward Leon and made flames spewing out of his legs toward Leon, which Leon dodged.

Natsu then spun around his hands and feet, including the flames that were coming out of his feet.

Leon jumped into the air, Natsu had waited for that moment.

Flames stopped coming out of Natsu´s feet and Natsu used an attack that he had prepared for some time now.

“[Fire Dragon´s Roar]”

He used his breath attack to attack Leon, the flames that Natsu spew were massive and quickly approached Leon, who was still in the air.

But suddenly, Natsu fell through a hole that appeared out of nowhere under him and was closing just as Natsu fell through it.

However, it was not able to close completely, because Natsu´s flames were still shooting up from beneath, but Natsu stopped breathing out fire shortly after.

“My, you are quite lucky my lord.” said Zatri.

“What did you do, Zatri?!”

“Hm?”

“Don´t play dumb. You used your magic, didn´t you!”

“You are correct my lord. How perceptive of you.”

“Get lost.”

As Leon said that he froze the surrounding walls, creating walls of ice that blocked the way and leaving only Leon and Natsu, who came through the hole again.

Zatri and Toby stood before the ice wall, Zatri was scratching his head and wondered what he should do.

“I am the sub-zero Emperor and the only person that can defeat Deliora. It would be a shame to my name if I can´t even win against such a small fry.”

“Why are you going through all that trouble, just to revive a half dead demon and then fight it. It is not worth it.”

“I will do everything to surpass Ur!”

 

Meanwhile, not to far away from the temple, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Happy, Zeldaris and Aversia were on their way toward the temple.

Gray was telling them what happened all those years ago.

How Deliora destroyed the town in which he lived with his family and killing his parents.

Gray was one of the few lucky ones that survived it and was found by Ur and Leon later on.

Hatred for the demon burning inside of him and decided to study Ice Maker magic under Ur.

But only a few months after becoming her apprentice, news about the demon reached his ears.

Filled with hate and a strong thirst for vengeance he traveled to the demon’s location, despite Ur´s warning and even the threat of getting expelled as her apprentice, but to no avail.

Leon followed Gray and both of them fought against the demon and were not even able to scratch it.

Deliora would have killed them if Ur had not saved them at the last second but lost a foot because of it.

Ur urged Gray to take Leon away and sacrificed herself by using a forbidden spell called Iced Shell that turned the casters body into ice.

The ice that was inclosing Deliora and the ice that Leon was melting was in reality Ur itself.

This revelation shocked everyone, but even more enraged Zeldaris and Aversia.

Fortunately, or unfortunately a group of Leon´s followers found them as soon as the temple came into few.

The temple was tilting heavily to one side and all of them knew that it was Natsu´s doing.

However, the temple started to move and stand upright again.

“AVE!”

“ON IT! [Dancing light´s: Meteor]”

A giant grey fire ball appeared over Aversia´s head, it was slightly bigger than the two half dragons.

With a slight motion of Aversia´s hand moved the fire ball toward the temple.

“Scatter!” yelled Aversia as the fire ball had halfway passed the path to the temple.

It scattered into multiple fire balls, still much bigger than a normal one.

Every single on of them crashed into the temple and exploded, destroying half of the giant temple.

“Have to give it to him, it really feels good to let loose sometimes, but this was not enough to quill my rage. [Dancing light´s: Sword Dance]”

Ten flaming odachis formed around here and floated around her.

Aversia grabbed two of them and pointed the tip of one of them toward the crowd.

“You have caught me in a really bad mood, so tell me who wants to go first!”

“Zeldaris, shouldn´t you try and stop her? Hiiiiiiii!” Lucy worriedly asked Zeldaris but screamed in fear as she saw that Zeldaris was in the same mood as Aversia and had formed his flaming gauntlets.

“Gray, Zeldaris, Aversia go. Lucy and I will deal with them.”

“Tsk. Party-pooper.”

“Then we will go ahead, be careful Lucy.”

“Why are you saying that only to me, Zeldaris?!”

 

Meanwhile at the fight between Natsu and Leon, both were at a standstill, both of them were not giving it their all, because both of them had something else in mind.

The fact that a giant explosion happened that shook the entire temple didn´t help at all and threw both of them to the ground, the explosion had almost reached them as well.

The wall had cracked at multiple places and grey flames came out of them, making Natsu sweating heavily, because this meant only one thing and it was not good for him.

(Please let it only be one of them and without anyone else.)

However, his hopes shattered as the wall collapsed and revealed Gray, Zeldaris and Aversia.

The two half dragons immediately looked at Natsu, who was shaking out of fear, because the stares told him enough to know that the two were angry at him and not in a good mood.

“We will deal with you later, Natsu. But let me tell you this, I am disappointed in you.” said Zeldaris.

“Aye.” was all that Natsu was able to say

“Leave him to me. This fight is mine.” said Gray as he saw Leon.

“But you lost against him before, now its my turn.” Natsu yelled but went quiet when Aversia looked at him.

“Leon, I know that it is my fault that Ur died, but I cannot and will not forgive you for what you have done to my friends, to the villagers and for what you are trying to do. We will both go through our just punishment for our deeds, together.” said Gray and took on a certain posture.

 

 

It´s been a while since I did one of those but let´s focus on Ice Maker magic.

Ice Maker magic is an ability type that goes under the category of molder magic. It allows the user to create things and animals out of ice, but also allows them to mold and influence natural ice or ice produced by magic. This type of magic and the ice variant in particular has a ton of uses and abilities that are useful even outside combat. It can be used both offensively and defensively and can used at any range although it is best at midrange. Ice Maker can be two under categories, the static makers, and the dynamic makers. Static maker creates inanimate objects, such as weapons, and can influence the environment around them. Dynamic maker creates animated ice sculptures, mostly animals.

There are four users of this magic in cannon. Gray, Leon, Ur and Ultear. All of them are powerful mages. For example, Ur was stated to easily be able to become one of the ten saints, if she wanted to. She proved to be an extremely powerful opponent for both Leo and Gray as her memory was brought back alive in the war against Zeref and the twelve sprigans.
