[Freeze]
The moment Kenichi activated Invel's Ice Magic, a piercing cold air emanated from his body.
The crystal ball charging towards Kenichi froze instantly upon contact with this cold air, finally stopping just an inch away from him.
"So this is your magic?"
Seeing the cold air emanating from Kenichi, a look of understanding appeared on Ultear's pretty face.
She then moved her hand, seemingly intending to retrieve the frozen crystal ball.
But after Ultear waved her hand, the frozen crystal ball remained motionless, showing no reaction.
"It's not ordinary Ice Magic!"
Ultear herself could use Ice Magic.
If it were Ice-Make magic on the level of Lyon or Gray, with a wave of her hand just now, the crystal ball would have definitely broken free from the ice.
But now, she couldn't manipulate the crystal ball.
Clearly, Kenichi's magic was much more troublesome than she had imagined.
Although ordinary means couldn't break Kenichi's Ice Magic, Ultear was no ordinary person either.
[Arc of Time]
Without any hesitation, she immediately activated the [Arc of Time].
Under the effect of time reversal, the crystal ball frozen in the ice actually vanished from within the ice.
The next second, when the crystal ball reappeared, it was already outside the ice.
Ultear, having neutralized Kenichi's Ice Magic, curled her lips into a triumphant arc.
Although she didn't speak, the expression on her face seemed to say: 'My magic is superior.'
[Future Flash]
After rescuing the crystal ball from the ice, Ultear activated the Arc of Time again.
Immediately, one crystal ball after another appeared out of thin air around Kenichi.
"Let's see you block this move!"
With that, Ultear made a grabbing motion towards Kenichi from a distance.
And the large number of crystal balls floating around Kenichi all converged towards him at an astonishing speed.
[Time Reversal!]
Just as those crystal balls were about to hit Kenichi, Kenichi immediately activated the Arc of Time he had just collected from Ultear.
The moment Kenichi initiated time reversal, the crystal balls that had been charging towards him all retraced their paths back.
"This is..."
Ultear herself could use the Arc of Time.
Seeing Kenichi activate the Arc of Time now, she recognized it at a glance.
This Arc of Time magic was a Lost Magic.
Logically, ordinary people shouldn't be able to use this move.
But this unfamiliar man in front of her could use it.
This greatly exceeded Ultear's expectations.
"Just who are you?"
"Why are you on this island?"
Ultear looked at Kenichi, the playfulness on her face completely gone, replaced by the seriousness of facing a powerful enemy.
Just as Kenichi was about to say something, an earth-shaking roar suddenly echoed through the air.
Following the sound, they saw that the massive upper body of Deliora, which had originally been frozen, was now freed from the ice due to the effect of the Moon Drip.
Seeing that Deliora was about to be unsealed, a look of accomplishment appeared on Ultear's pretty face.
At the same time, Natsu, Gray, and Lyon in the outer hall all heard this mighty roar.
"What's going on?"
Natsu released Lyon, whom he was pinning down, looked up at the ceiling, and said.
Perhaps Natsu didn't know what this sound was, but Lyon and Gray did.
"It's Deliora! Finally succeeded!"
By now, Lyon had already been defeated by Natsu and Gray.
But hearing Deliora's roar, a smile appeared on his face.
Gray's face, however, was extremely grim.
Deliora was a shadow in his heart.
He knew that if Deliora revived, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"Natsu!"
Gray called out to Natsu, and then rushed with Natsu towards the location of Deliora.
At this time, Kenichi only glanced briefly at Deliora before turning his gaze back to Ultear.
"It's about time to end this battle!"
Kenichi said, looking at Ultear.
"Ah, I was thinking the same thing!"
With that, Ultear leaned her body forward slightly.
[Gods' Brilliance]
After Ultear activated her magic, the spacious palace ceiling became densely covered with conical crystals.
And the sharp points of all those conical crystals were aimed at Kenichi below.
As Ultear swung her arms, the conical crystals in the sky swept down towards Kenichi on the ground like a storm of bullets.
[Ice Magic...]
Seeing the crystals assaulting him, Kenichi channeled his vast magical power and immediately activated his Ice Magic.
Bzzzt-
The next second, a violent cold air, like a whirlwind, swept through the entire hall.
At this moment, the hall was engulfed by a piercing chill.
The cold came quickly and left just as fast.
After one second, when the cold air dissipated, almost the entire hall was seen to be frozen.
The crystals that had been sweeping towards Kenichi, and Ultear herself, were also frozen in the ice, unable to move.
'This guy...'
Ultear, trapped in the ice, stared at Kenichi, her eyes flickering.
Although she activated Arc of Time to try and break this ice, after consuming a large amount of magical power, the ice freezing her had only disappeared by a tiny bit.
At this moment, ripples of shock spread through Ultear's heart.
'When did such a powerful Ice Mage appear in the Fiore Kingdom?'
While Ultear was continuously trying to dissolve the ice, Kenichi was collecting the Magic Power attributes dropped when Ultear used her magic earlier.
As three Magic Power attributes entered his body, Kenichi's Magic Power attribute rose from 14374 to 14392!
After collecting the Magic Power attributes, Kenichi glanced at Ultear, who is still trapped in the ice, then prepared to turn and leave.
At that moment, Deliora over there was completely unsealed.
"Roar-"
The massive Deliora raised its head and let out a heaven-shaking roar.
At this moment, the entire island trembled.
Inside the dilapidated palace, large rocks kept falling.
"Danger!"
Gray, who had rushed in from the outer hall, saw Deliora raising its huge claw, preparing to attack Kenichi.
His face changed dramatically, and he immediately shouted a warning to Kenichi.
Actually, Kenichi had already noticed Deliora without needing Gray's reminder.
Originally, Kenichi didn't want to bother with this demon.
After all, he knew that Ur's seal had already taken most of Deliora's vitality, so the current Deliora was probably just a final flicker before its end.
However, facing Deliora's dying strike, Kenichi couldn't just ignore it either.
[Command T: Reduction!]
Without any hesitation, Kenichi immediately activated Brandish's Command T.
In the blink of an eye, Deliora, which was originally like a mountain, instantly shrank to the size of a grasshopper.
Then, under the stunned gazes of Gray and Natsu, Kenichi lifted his foot and directly crushed Deliora to death.
"Eh...!"
At this moment, the utterly astonished voices of Natsu and Gray instantly echoed through the hall.
