Rufus staggered backward the moment he landed, then leaped up, shouting, "Memory...!"
What are you muttering about over there?
"Memory can be a weapon. I can memorize the magic I've seen and create new magic by recreating those memories!"
"Ha...that's really incredible, completely different from what someone said!" Gray exclaimed.
"Who is this person you're referring to?"
"It's Chen Fan...! The foundation of magic is magical power. A spell whose magical power is fundamentally incompatible will never reach its peak!" Gray said.
Rufus's expression changed. "Since you put it that way, then let me show you my magic! Let's see if it can truly reach its peak!"
"Memory Make! Frozen Black Lightning Sword!"
Rufus shouted and stretched his hand out into the air, where bolts of black lightning fell from the sky. When the lightning struck the ground, it exploded into ice flowers.
"ICEmake! Shield!" A 360-degree Ice Shield enveloped Gray.
"Shield! Memory...! And then forget...!"
"Bang...!" The shield beside Gray vanished instantly, startling Gray.
"Boom..." A bolt of black lightning struck Gray from above, hitting him hard. "Ah...!" Gray cried out in pain, and the splashing ice immobilized Gray.
"You arrogant fool! Your movements are all restricted, let's see what you can do now! Remember this! You cannot defeat me!" Rufus said, looking at Gray.
"How ironic...! An ice mage is frozen solid! I'm actually a little envious of Natsu's ability to absorb flames!" Gray suddenly said, picking up a piece of ice and chewing it.
"Bang..." The ice that had been sealing off Gray's movements shattered instantly;
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Marcus vs. Lyon
(PS: Happy New Year to everyone! May everything go smoothly and as you wish in 2014.)
Marcus and Lyon War Zones
"I remember you! You seem to be one of the Fairy Tail members who stayed in the guild during the Tenrou Island incident!" Lyon said, smiling at Marcus.
Marcus maintained his languid expression, scratching his head. "Oh dear... what bad luck! I ran into Lyon!" He then bowed to Lyon and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all these years!"
Lyon quickly waved his hand and said, "No, we've been taken care of by you before! But this is a battle, and we're not planning to admit defeat yet, so we can only apologize!"
As Lyon spoke, he unleashed a spell on Marcus: "ICEmake! Great Eagle!" One after another, enormous ice birds flapped their wings as if they were alive, flying towards Marcus;
"Oh dear! I've really been underestimated. 720!" Marcus said, scratching his head.
With a stomp of his foot, a Sandstorm rose from beneath his feet, rapidly swirling around Marcus. The large birds Lyon created shattered any sand that touched Marcus, leaving no room for escape.
Lyon was also taken aback, not expecting this member who stayed with Fairy Tail to be so powerful. Indeed! No member of Fairy Tail should be underestimated.
"ICEmake! Great Ape!" Two giant ice apes, created by Lyon, pounded their chests with their intelligent fists and then charged towards Marcus on all fours;
Marcus stretched out his arms to the sky and shouted, "World of Sand!" A vortex of sand centered at Marcus's feet began to spin, gradually expanding in size until a world of sand existed within a 200-meter radius of Marcus, with the sand moving back and forth as if it were part of Marcus's body.
The two giant ice apes created by Lyon had long since sunk into the quicksand. Not only that, all the surrounding buildings and houses within Marcus's World of Sand had sunk into the ground.
Because of its sheer scale, even the audience at the Grand Magic Games couldn't help but turn their attention to this battlefield;
