"No!"
"Master, stop! Hurry and stop!!!"
Gray and Lyon had still been marveling at their master's strength as Ur suppressed Brain.
But in the next instant, they saw her activate the forbidden spell—Iced Shell.
Both of them were completely dumbfounded.
Back then, Ur had used this very spell in front of them, sacrificing her physical body to permanently seal Deliora.
They never imagined that after finally seeing their master again after so many years, before they even had the chance to greet her,
she would use the same forbidden spell once more.
In an instant, the nightmare repeated itself.
Gray and Lyon were scared out of their minds. Roaring desperately, they rushed toward Ur, trying to stop their master from doing something foolish.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Terrifying magical power erupted from Ur's body and instantly transformed into freezing air.
The astonishing cold seeped into every opening, carrying a chill that pierced straight into the heart. It seemed capable of freezing even time itself in an instant.
Zero had only just awakened when he sensed the cold.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
He unleashed magical power even greater than Brain's, attempting to resist the freezing air.
But it was useless.
The reason Iced Shell could be called forbidden magic was precisely because of its overwhelming power.
It could seal even an immortal demon like Deliora, much less someone like Brain.
Although Zero was powerful enough to rival a Wizard Saint, he was still helpless before such terrifying cold.
His violent magical power was frozen in an instant.
The frost climbed from his ankles, covering his calves, knees, thighs, abdomen, and torso. It finally passed his neck and swallowed his head, freezing him into an ice sculpture.
Gray and Lyon stared at their master in despair.
"Why, Master?"
"Why did you use that forbidden spell?"
They were terrified that in the next second, Ur would dissolve into shattered ice before their eyes and disappear completely.
Until Ur struck both of her useless disciples on the head with two heavy punches.
"You two bastards! Can't you wish for something good to happen to me?"
Gray: "???"
Lyon: "???"
Seeing the energetic Ur standing before them, the two were completely stunned.
Wait, what was going on?
Hadn't their master just used Iced Shell?
Why hadn't she disappeared?
"Master? You're… alright?"
"Of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be?"
Ur smiled and pulled Gray and Lyon into her arms, pressing their faces against her firm yet soft chest.
The two immediately froze like wooden statues.
Uh…
Uh…
"Relax. I modified Iced Shell. I can now seal enemies without paying such an enormous price."
At the same time, Ur's voice sounded from above their heads.
Rowan was not surprised.
Because in the original story, Iced Shell had indeed been improved, although Ur had not been the one who modified it.
However, with Ur's ability, it was not strange for her to improve the spell herself.
After all, she had personally used it to freeze Deliora, and her soul had remained inside the ice for a full ten years.
She had more than enough time to improve the magic.
Judging from the result, the modification had been extremely successful.
Brain's alternate personality, Zero, had been frozen the moment he awakened, allowing Ur to finally avenge herself.
Rowan smiled faintly when he saw Gray and Lyon's faces turning so red they could hardly become any redder.
He did not step forward and interrupt the reunion between master and disciples.
Instead, he slowly walked over, tied up the defeated members of Oración Seis, and copied their magic one by one through physical contact.
Hoteye's Earth Magic, Racer's Slow Magic, Midnight's Reflector Magic, Cobra's Sound Magic, and Brain's Dark Magic.
As for Angel's Celestial Spirit Magic, Rowan did not need it.
It was worth mentioning that Hoteye's Earth Magic and Jura's Rock Magic complemented each other perfectly.
The effects produced when combining them were astonishing.
Besides that, Rowan remembered that there was also a mage in Fairy Tail who used Sand Magic.
Earth Magic, Sand Magic, Rock Magic…
Rowan felt that if he gathered these types of magic together, he might be able to fuse them into an entirely new form of magic.
Mm. He would try it after returning.
Perhaps he would receive an unexpected surprise.
More than an hour later, Ur's reunion with Gray and Lyon finally came to an end.
Ur waved casually and left alone.
The fact that she had returned from the dead was not something that should become widely known, or it would cause an enormous uproar.
Therefore, Ur had rarely appeared in public during these days.
If not for today's coincidence, even Gray and Lyon would not have learned about it.
Thus, she did not continue traveling with Rowan's group and instead turned to leave.
Rowan and the others brought the defeated members of Oración Seis aboard Blue Pegasus's Magic Bomber and returned to the Magic Council, where they handed the prisoners over for processing.
Afterward, everyone separated.
Each returned to their own guild.
Rowan, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, and Happy returned to Fairy Tail.
Before parting, however, Happy was extremely reluctant to leave Carla.
He had finally met a beautiful cat like himself who could speak like a human.
He genuinely did not want to separate from her.
Unfortunately, Carla felt nothing toward Happy and had grown thoroughly irritated by his reluctance to part.
She hurriedly took Wendy and ran away.
Erza did not stop them, because she knew Wendy would eventually become a member of Fairy Tail.
Even if it did not happen now, it would happen in the future.
After returning to the guild, Erza immediately found Makarov and reported everything that had happened during the subjugation of Oración Seis.
She also explained Wendy's situation.
Because they had changed the story, Oración Seis had never obtained Nirvana and had not activated the spell.
As a result, the Guild Master of Cait Shelter had not disappeared, and Wendy had not joined Fairy Tail.
After listening to Erza's report, Makarov smiled faintly.
"Leave this matter to me."
He had also read the story and naturally knew about Wendy.
He confidently promised Erza,
"Anyone destined to belong to Fairy Tail will not be left behind. I'll bring every one of them back."
Meanwhile,
while the two were discussing Wendy, Rowan found the mage in the guild who used Sand Magic.
Max Alors.
Within Fairy Tail, this man could only be considered a second-rate mage and was not particularly noticeable.
However, in the original story, Fairy Tail's main members were trapped on Tenrou Island for seven full years.
After they escaped, Natsu was actually suppressed by Max during a sparring match.
It was not because Max had experienced explosive growth over those seven years and become an S-Class Mage.
Rather, Natsu had lost seven years of training.
Those seven years were enough for an ordinary second-rate mage to easily suppress an expert at Natsu's level.
Of course, after Natsu used Lightning Flame Dragon Mode and unleashed Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar, Max was intimidated and immediately surrendered.
But it still counted as one of the rare highlights of his life.
After finding Max, Rowan paid him approximately one million J and copied his Sand Magic.
Then he discovered that Sand Magic, Earth Magic, and Rock Magic could indeed fuse together.
They formed an entirely new magic.
Earth Magic.
As long as Rowan stood upon the earth, he could control it.
If he wished, he could effortlessly alter the terrain.
He could transform a desert into a basin, turn a basin into a desert, raise mountains from flat ground, or flatten mountains into plains.
He could even completely disrupt the geographical environment of an entire country.
It was an extremely powerful form of magic.
It was worth mentioning that Rowan was not the only person capable of changing a country's geography.
There was another person who could accomplish the same thing.
Erza's mother—
Irene Belserion.
However, she did not rely on Earth Magic.
She used High Enchantment Magic.
It was a form of magic capable of enchanting any object with virtually any kind of magical effect. Rather than directly attacking, it added magic to objects or people.
Its weakness was that it required an enormous amount of magical power, making it impossible for those with low reserves to learn.
Its advantages were—
everything else.
She could grant an object tremendous hardness, allowing an ordinary wooden stick to easily shatter steel.
She could enchant the ground with shockwave magic and blast opponents away.
She could give objects personalities. Once granted a personality, an object would possess memories, assume a human form, and even use magic.
She could enchant a human body with appearance-altering magic, transforming an opponent into any imagined form. Turning a human into a mouse was effortless.
Even more outrageously, she could enchant the territory of an entire kingdom with magic that rearranged its layout.
When activated, the sky and earth throughout the affected area would glow. She could reconstruct any chosen region, freely control the size and terrain of a country, and even randomly redistribute every person within it.
It was somewhat similar to Rowan's Earth Magic.
To be honest, Rowan greatly coveted this magic.
Therefore, he was considering whether he should travel to the Alvarez Empire on the Western Continent and copy it.
After all, the Alvarez Empire was a magical military nation composed of more than seven hundred guilds.
The number of different forms of magic there was practically endless.
The Alvarez Empire also possessed an elite organization known as the Spriggan Twelve.
Every member was a top-class expert who possessed incredibly powerful magic, and Irene was one of them.
Their magic was all excellent.
Rowan liked every one of them and wanted to copy them.
He also wanted to experience what it felt like to become a Magic King.
