### Chapter 62: Arrogance
"You! You injured Angelica!!"
Hearing Riku's words, Sherry immediately looked at Riku angrily.
Toby retorted: "That's just a big mouse!!"
At this time, Gray also rushed out, heading straight for the man in the horned helmet.
"Gray!"
Natsu didn't expect Gray to charge faster than him.
"Bastard! Stop this meaningless ritual and action!!"
Gray pressed his hands to the ground, and blocks of ice spikes rose from the ground.
The man in the horned helmet pressed one palm to the ground, and a Magic almost identical to Gray's appeared. The two Magics collided and then canceled each other out.
"Lyon... do you know what you are doing?"
Gray looked at the man in the horned helmet with an ugly expression.
"Hmph hmph, long time no see, Gray."
Happy exclaimed: "That guy uses Ice too!"
Seeing both sides use almost identical Magic attacks, everyone was slightly surprised. Being able to call out the other's name, obviously, Gray and Lyon knew each other.
Sherry saw the guild mark on Natsu's shoulder and immediately recognized it: "That mark, Fairy Tail."
Yuka guessed: "Looks like the villagers asked a Mage Guild for help!"
Natsu asked Gray: "Gray, do you know that guy?"
Gray nodded, his gaze fixed tightly on the man in the horned helmet: "My senior brother, Lyon."
"Senior brother?!"
They didn't expect Gray and the opponent to be fellow disciples.
Lucy asked puzzledly: "That's not right! Since he's your senior brother, why does he want to resurrect the monster your master sealed with her life?!"
Gray shouted at Lyon questioningly: "That's what puzzles me too! Lyon! Give me an explanation! Why do you want to resurrect Deliora?!"
Lyon snorted coldly: "Hmph! There's no need for me to explain my actions to you. Gray, haven't seen you for ten years, you've become somewhat arrogant."
After speaking, Lyon turned to Sherry and the other two: "You three, go and eliminate those villagers."
"?!"
Natsu and Lucy were stunned. Weren't they right here? Why go eliminate those innocent villagers?
"Anyone who hinders or attempts to hinder me is an enemy. I can handle things here alone. Now is the critical moment. I won't let any accident happen because of even a trace of risk."
"Yes!"
Sherry and the other two immediately tried to bypass Riku.
CRACK———!!
Three lightning bolts fell towards Sherry and the others. They quickly dodged.
BOOM———!!
A large crater was blasted by lightning where the three had just stood.
Riku's indifferent voice rang out: "That won't do. If I let you harm even a hair on my clients, wouldn't I lose face?"
Crackle! Crackle!!
Blue-white electric arcs appeared around Riku's body.
"Riku! Wait! Leave Lyon to me to solve!!"
Gray shouted at this moment.
"Riku? Could this guy be?!"
Hearing Gray call Riku's name, the short man wearing a mask beside Lyon, known as Zalty, changed his expression slightly.
"What? Zalty, do you know him?"
Lyon looked at Zalty.
"Of course I know him! Lord Reitei, having come to Galuna Island three years ago, you wouldn't be clear. This is a mage who suddenly rose to prominence in the last three years, the legendary mage 'Thunder God' Riku. In Fiore, no, even in the entire Ishgar continent, he is famous. I really didn't expect such a big shot to appear here."
Ultear hadn't expected it either. Riku, who had just destroyed Eisenwald not long ago, actually appeared here. Although she had heard a lot of intelligence about Riku, this was the first time seeing the real person. Meeting for the first time on this occasion was not a good thing.
Hearing Zalty's words, Yuka's face changed drastically: "'Thunder God' Riku?! That legendary 'Thunder God' Riku?! I heard the Master mention him. This guy is an incredible monster."
Toby nodded in agreement: "Oh oh! I heard too! It's said this guy wiped out more than ten Dark Guilds in one breath."
"Sherry has heard too. The most prominent mage in the Fiore Kingdom nowadays."
The three of them looked at Riku differently now, all facing a formidable enemy. A person's name is like a tree's shadow. The main reason Riku could have such a big reputation stemmed from his strength.
In the Magic world, strength reigned supreme. If one had strength, one could naturally make a big name. Conversely, insufficient fame was also due to insufficient strength.
"Hmph! Thunder God or not, anyone who dares to hinder me must die!"
Lyon didn't care about fame at all. If he wanted to, he could have become a famous mage long ago. In his view, his strength surpassed his master Ur, who was the world's strongest mage. Thunder God was just an exaggerated title and couldn't possibly be his opponent.
"ICE-MAKE: Eagle!!"
Lyon raised his hand, and ice eagles flew towards Riku.
"ICE-MAKE: Lance!!"
Gray released ice lances with both hands, intercepting and shattering the numerous ice eagles in mid-air.
"Lyon, your opponent is me!"
Hearing this, Lyon took off the horned helmet on his head and threw it on the ground: "Gray, haven't seen you for ten years. Sure enough, you've become arrogant, daring to provoke me."
"In that case, let's decide the winner after a long time."
"Do it, take them all out!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lyon's order, those people conducting the ritual all took out weapons and rushed towards Riku.
"20,000 Volts! Discharge!!"
Riku chanted indifferently.
CRACK————!!
Huge electric arcs radiated from Riku's body, instantly bombarding those people.
"Ughaaaaah!"
"Waaaaaah!" ...
Everyone screamed in pain, then all fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lucy couldn't help but widen her eyes: "So... so scary!!!"
