As the masked white-haired man jumped down, a purple Magic Circle suddenly appeared above the cave ceiling, and the moonlight passing through the circle turned completely purple.
The light shone upon the frozen demon, and the ice began to melt.
"What's this?"
"The ice is melting!"
Lucy Kana and the others were the first to notice the problem, staring at the phenomenon in surprise.
Gray was surprised by the familiar voice, and a thought flashed through his mind, "This, this, this voice, could it be him?"
"Huh? Gray knows him?" Natsu turned to Gray was now completely dumbfounded, and asked.
"I also want to try and see how strong Lord Zorn is among the Ten Wizard Saints!" Lyon ignored everyone else and focused on Zorn in front of him, because he knew that Zorn was the biggest threat so far, and he didn't take the others seriously.
"Oh, what a terrible brat! I can grant your wish!" Zorn laughed; he had never seen such a request before.
Zorn's Magic Power surged, and in an instant, Lyon was surrounded by countless Light Swords, some of which were already close to Lyon's skin, and his mask was shattered and fell to the ground.
Lyon gritted his teeth and glared at Zorn. In just a moment, without seeing Zorn make the slightest move, the Magic had already been activated. Moreover, looking at the Magic Power fluctuations of each Light Sword, he already knew that his strength was as vast as the gap between him and Zorn.
"Damn it, are we really that far behind in strength? Is this plan really going to end here? I'm not satisfied!"
Regardless of what Lyon was thinking at that moment.
The reason Zorn didn't manage to attack Lyon was entirely because Gray had already reached out and blocked Zorn.
"Leave him to me. It's time for things to settle between us, fellow disciples. No, he's no longer worthy of being called Master's disciple. How dare he do such a thing! Lyon, I will never forgive him like this. The Magic above is yours, Brother Zorn."
"Alright! Since that's the case, Gray will show him what you've been up to all these years!!"
Zorn slowly withdrew his Magic. Seeing the restraints lifted and witnessing Lyon completely handing the battle over to Gray Zorn, Leon felt extremely angry and resentful. He also turned his previous hatred towards Gray against Gray.
"Brothers?" Natsu and the others were also surprised, looking back and forth between Gray and Lyon.
"Gray, you have no right to say that to me. You're the one who killed Master, Gray."
Lyon was also enraged by Gray's attitude. He had already gathered icy Magic Power in his palm and was looking at Gray with resentment in his eyes.
"It was my fault, I don't deny it, but Master sacrificed himself to seal this demon, so I will absolutely not let you resurrect this demon!"
Gray also clasped his hands together, his own hands imbued with icy Magic Power, and confronted Lyon.
"Since the plan is no longer feasible, it's time for us to settle things once and for all."
Natsu Lucy looked at Gray with shock and sympathy upon hearing the news.
Zorn didn't say anything more, because all of this and the inside story had already been clearly explained under the accusations of his two fellow disciples.
Then he turned to Natsu and the others and said, "I'll leave this to Gray. Let's go up and take a look."
--Separator--
When Zorn and his group arrived at the top of the Temple, the rest of the Lamia Scale Fairy Tail and a group of Mages were chanting some inexplicable spells.
The moonlight was transformed into purple light through a series of Magic Circle in the sky, shining down on the demons below.
"This is?"
"This is Periawen's spell, the Moon Drop, which can break and dissolve any Magic. That's their goal—to use this power to resurrect Deliora, isn't it, everyone from the Lamia Scales?"
Seeing that everyone still looked a little confused, Zorn kindly explained, only glancing at the other Fairy Tail members who looked serious at the end.
"Even if it's Zorn, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, we will never let you ruin Lyon Leon's plans!"
"But, but, but he's one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like Uncle Jura. Can we really handle him?" one of the men, who looked like a dog, said tremblingly, lacking the confidence of Yuka.
The other girl had the same thought, but she was so frightened that she couldn't move.
Yuka was speechless at this point. Did he not know the difference in skill level between them? But our ultimate goal was just to delay them. With Jura on our side, it wasn't certain that Zorn would go all out.
"Don't be nervous, it's not me dealing with you, it's them." Zorn pointed to Natsu and the others behind him.
"Natsu, Cana, Lucy, I'm leaving this situation to you. There's another powerful enemy to deal with." Zorn slowly ascended into the air and looked down at the group, saying this.
"Zorn, you... never mind, just be careful." Cana took a few steps forward, intending to ask what kind of enemy it was, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. She was confident that Zorn could handle any enemy.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's nothing. By the way, Cana, remember to hold back this time. Natsu and the others are in your care!"
Before leaving, Zorn suddenly remembered something and reminded Cana. Haha, the reason is that Cana's current strength is already well above S-Class.
As for why she hasn't participated in the S-Class Exam all these years, it's because she told Zorn that she hoped Gildarts would be the examiner. She wanted Gildarts to assess her without her knowledge and to see for himself how powerful and qualified her Mage had become.
Zorn could only respect Cana's choice.
On the other side, a figure near the coast suddenly sensed something, stopped, and looked up at Zorn, who had appeared above her.
"Ultear, where are you going?"
At this moment, a short man wearing a mask suddenly had a Magic Crystal appear beside him. As Magic Power surged around his body, his figure transformed into a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair.
The beautiful woman reached out and caught the crystal ball, looking at Zorn with a serious expression. "It seems you know something?"
"I do know a lot, more than you think. And you don't need to run so fast when you see me." Zorn slowly descended and stood on the beach, looking at Ultear, whose heart was filled with hatred.
"After all, we are, well, how should I put it, colleagues? That doesn't seem quite right. Jellal is Ten Wizard Saints, you're not. You're just following him around, trying to seduce him..." Zorn rambled on, completely unaware that countless crystal balls were appearing around Ultear's body.
"Then you're going to die." Ur, hearing how much Zorn knew, didn't want to waste any more words with Zorn. As soon as she heard that Zorn had arrived, she knew she couldn't complete this mission, so she wanted to secretly go back and report to Jellal, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Zorn.
