"Once you feel the power of Enchantment Magic, you'll understand why I dare to say that."
Aux took two steps back.
He held his Magic Staff upright in front of him, his eyes half-closed as he chanted.
"Addition: Magic Power!"
"Ding! Detected usage of Enchantment Magic, Infinite Addition has been upgraded to: Magic Power Lv. MAX."
It was a simple, unadorned boost to Magic Power.
With the system's max-level upgrade, it took effect in Gray's body.
At that moment,
Gray's face flushed, and an unparalleled Magic Power surged from his body.
His mind became clearer than ever before.
The air was filled with the attribute of ice; he now felt like he ruled the entire world.
Crack, crack, crack... Cold air overflowed from inside and outside his body.
The ground beneath his feet was covered in white frost, continuously spreading outwards.
The lush green grass turned yellow from the cold.
Tree trunks were also covered in frost, and insects quickly fled Gray's vicinity.
The chill spread, quickly reaching the battlefield of the Magic Beast and Natsu.
Thump, thump, thump... Natsu, who was fiercely fighting the Magic Beast in the air, suddenly heard shivers.
"It's so cold, Natsu~"
It was Happy shivering, trembling non-stop, his teeth chattering.
"Gray, what the hell are you doing? If you freeze Happy, I'll never forgive you."
Natsu yelled down at Gray from above.
He hadn't felt the cold yet, as he was a Fire Mage.
Roar, roar, roar... Thump, thump~ Thump, thump~
As the chill spread, the flames on the Magic Beast's body slowly extinguished.
The Magic Beast also felt the threat of death.
It roared and stomped its feet, its eyes also looking towards Gray.
Whoosh~
The next second, the Magic Beast reached out and grabbed a tree, pulling it out with ease.
Its other hand stripped the tree trunk.
It stripped the tree into a straight stick, then held the trunk and swung it at Gray.
"Watch out!" Natsu instinctively warned.
Meanwhile, Gray looked at the tree trunk flying through the air and slowly raised his right palm.
He extended one finger and pointed forward.
The moment the tree trunk touched his finger, it was instantly frozen by the frost.
Crack... The tree trunk froze into an icicle, and the next second it fell to the ground and shattered into ice shards.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
Natsu's eyes were wide.
Such a thick tree trunk, swung with great force by the Magic Beast, turned into an icicle in an instant?
When did that bastard Gray become so powerful?
"Sugoi~"
Happy was even more stunned.
He didn't understand how Gray did it; a single finger could freeze such a large tree trunk?
Thump, thump, thump~
Not only were Natsu and Happy dumbfounded.
The Magic Beast was even more surprised, but its low intelligence prevented it from thinking too much.
It charged forward, wanting to kill this guy who made it feel danger.
"I've never felt this powerful so vividly!"
Gray clenched his fist.
He was incredibly excited at this moment, truly understanding why Erza thought Aux was so amazing.
This level of Enchantment Magic!
Even if a dog were to fight, it could probably defeat this powerful Magic Beast.
"Stop wasting time, Enchantment Magic has a time limit, quickly defeat the Magic Beast." Aux reminded him.
The move of freezing the tree trunk with one finger just now was very cool.
As a support, Aux felt deeply gratified.
Watching others instantly defeat everything because of his Enchantment Magic, this was also a unique kind of satisfaction.
"Freeze into an ice sculpture!"
Gray also knew time was short.
He raised his right arm and quickly flipped his palm.
Instantly,
The flowers, grass, and trees were all frozen, and the Magic Beast's charging body was also frozen.
The battle ended!
Gray's Magic Power rapidly decreased, making him feel a sense of emptiness.
"What the heck... This guy was clearly my opponent."
Natsu landed on the ground, displeased.
He grumbled, picking his nose, annoyed that Gray got to show off this time, it was really frustrating.
"Gray, what happened just now? You suddenly became so powerful." Happy asked, puzzled.
Natsu also pricked up his ears to listen.
He didn't believe Gray had that kind of strength; there must be some secret.
"I was always that powerful." Gray replied.
This immediately drew looks of disdain from Natsu and Happy.
They were all companions, and they knew each other's strengths very well, so they knew Gray couldn't have always been that powerful.
At this point, Aux walked past the three towards the Magic Beast.
Happy immediately thought of it and quickly said, "It must be Aux's Enchantment Magic."
Natsu also immediately agreed, "Right! It must be Aux helping you."
Tsk... Gray didn't expect to be exposed, he clicked his tongue and followed Aux's steps.
"I knew it... How could a pervert be that powerful? It was indeed Aux's help."
Natsu chattered incessantly, and Happy also agreed.
Both of them followed Gray, continuously complaining, making his entire face turn dark.
"Cut off its head and take it back to exchange for the quest reward." Aux instructed.
Gray created an ice longsword and, with a few agile movements on the Magic Beast's body, reached its head.
He sliced off the frozen head with one stroke, completing the kill.
"Aux, when will you use Enchantment Magic on me? I also want to just wave my hand and destroy Magic Beasts."
On the way back.
Natsu pestered Aux, requesting. Just imagine, facing a Magic Beast.
He just raises his hand and burns the Magic Beast to ashes.
How cool would that be!
"Aww~ Me too..."
Happy also wanted to experience the charm of Enchantment Magic, not necessarily to defeat a monster like a Magic Beast.
Just to defeat the cats in Magnolia Town would be enough.
"Aren't you guys annoying? Let Aux rest for a bit, that move he used on me must have been very tiring." Gray interjected.
He was still hoping to continue receiving Enchantment Magic in the future.
That feeling of being all-powerful was just too good~
With a mere flick of his wrist, enemies were already turned to dust.
"You've had your fun, but I haven't yet." Natsu retorted.
Happy agreed, "Right, right, right~ Pervert!"
The two of them argued with Gray for a bit, then continued to sweet-talk Aux.
They just wanted to be chosen for the next Enchantment Magic.
Aux, however, responded with a smile.
He didn't say he would definitely use Enchantment Magic on anyone in particular, as he would choose suitable companions based on the enemy's strength and identity.
Back in town.
Natsu and Gray, pulling the Magic Beast's head, successfully attracted the attention of the residents.
"What is that? It's so big..."
"A Magic Beast! This is the man-eating Magic Beast from the valley, I didn't expect it to be dealt with!"
"They are... Fairy Tail Guild!"
"They are Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild, the members of this Guild are indeed amazing!"
"That's great! Our town is safe!"
"..."
The residents all cheered enthusiastically.
The monster threatening the town had been dealt with; this was absolutely wonderful news.
Mayor's office.
After Aux and the others entered the town, he received the news.
Knowing that the Magic Beast had been dealt with,
His hanging heart finally settled, and he was very satisfied with the Fairy Tail Guild's work this time.
One could only say, it truly was the Fairy Tail Guild!
