We're going to die?

Hades and the others froze on the spot, looked at Ultear, and then burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Haha, Ultear, there should be a limit to your jokes," Hades said first.

"You just said that brat single-handedly defeated the Oración Seis, and I don't believe it."

"And now you're telling me he could kill us all by himself."

Do you believe what you're saying?

Everyone looked at Ultear with great interest.

Meredy frowned slightly, then quickly stepped forward and patted Ultear on the shoulder.

" Ultear, it's best not to joke around with everyone at a time like this, or you might really cause trouble, and I won't be able to save you."

Within the dark guilds, the law of the jungle is the most common occurrence.

There are countless instances where people resort to violence over a mere disagreement.

The matter concerning the Oración Seis is of utmost importance.

If Ultear continues to be unable to distinguish between important and trivial matters, it will likely incur the dissatisfaction of others.

In an instant, all eyes were on Ultear, and the atmosphere in the arena became inexplicably oppressive.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Ultear remained calm, looked around once, and then spoke.

"No, my answer remains unchanged. My intuition tells me that if you don't heed my advice, the outcome will likely be the same."

The faces of everyone present immediately darkened.

If the first time could be considered a joke, then the second time, I'll give the same answer.

They're probably just a bit stubborn and inflexible.

" Ultear, you're asking for death!" Zoldeo's face darkened, and the vast magical power dormant within him exploded like a tidal wave.

Meredy's expression tightened, and she quickly prepared to speak up and dissuade him.

"Alright, Zoldeo, don't be impulsive. I was the one who had Ultear say that," Hades said with a smile, reaching out to stop him.

"If you attack Ultear, who will dare to tell the truth in the future?"

"However, I admire Ultear for daring to say such things to me."

"I'll show you what happens when that brat is targeted by the Grimoire Heart."

"I remember there will be a perfect opportunity in three days to make our move against Fairy Tail."

"If we could obtain that power, we might actually be able to summon Zeref."

"I'd like to see how that brat cuts open the heart of our demons then."

At this point, Hades looked at Jellal, who was frozen behind Ultear.

"However, if the Oración Seis is truly defeated, then Jellal will probably need to make a trip to the Cait Shelter to recover."

"If that's the case, we'll probably run into that brat sooner than expected..."

When Hades retrieved the frozen Jellal, he considered many methods to heal and awaken Jellal.

Unfortunately, no matter what kind of magic he used, it all seemed to sink without a trace when it landed on Jellal.

According to Hades ' deduction, only the Dragon Slayer mage in the Cait Shelter can awaken Jellal.

"There's no need to go to the Cait Shelter," Ultear said again.

"When that guy let me leave, he gave me a pea, saying it could save Jellal, as a small gift for our Grimoire Heart."

"Give us some more confidence to deliver to our doorstep!"

Everyone present was stunned when they saw the pea lying in Ultear's palm.

If it were just those words, they could still consider it a result of empty talk.

However, now the other side is not only sending Ultear back with a message.

They even came up with a way to rescue Jellal.

If it's come to this, then it can be considered a joke.

Isn't this joke a bit too daring and audacious?

" Ultear, are you joking with us again? Some things can only be done once. Once it's gone too far, even as the guild master, I can't save you." Hades' face darkened slightly as he gripped his scepter tightly.

"Don't forget, after finding Jellal, I tried countless methods, but none of them could awaken him."

"You're telling me now that a single pea can save a person? That's not a funny joke!"

"If a single pea can heal a person, then I've lived a truly virtuous life."

Those present silently echoed this sentiment, staring intently at Ultear.

"Don't you believe me?" Ultear couldn't help but ask again.

"If you don't believe me, then let's give it a try!"

As he spoke, Ultear's actions were anything but hesitant.

He slapped the frozen crystal with his backhand.

Under the surge of invisible Arc of Time, the crystal that had been freezing Jellal cracked open.

Jellal, who had been frozen inside, landed on the ground, Ultear deftly stuffed the Senzu Bean into Jellal's mouth.

Seeing this scene, not only Meredy and the others, but also Ultear and even Hades tensed up immediately.

In their eyes, the pea that Bai Yu regarded as capable of saving lives should have been nothing special.

If it were truly possible to save someone with just a single pea.

Jellal Hades many methods, but to no avail.

They're probably not even worth a bean in their lives.

However, the moment this thought arose in their minds, all the gazes that had been fixed on Jellal suddenly narrowed.

Seeing Jellal's eyelashes flutter slightly and then his eyes open, Gerald's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Initially, they were only skeptical of what Ultear said.

However, now a seemingly ordinary pea has completely awakened Jellal, who had been unconscious and whom Hades had tried many methods to rouse but to no avail.

This is practically solid evidence!

Hades ' expression turned ashen.

Even the hand gripping the scepter clenched so tightly that the veins bulged.

I wanted to slap myself for saying such hurtful and questioning things.

Jellal has now truly been awakened.

Does this mean he admits that he's lived a life worse than a pea, a life wasted on a dog?

Ultear secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little smug.

Originally, she had no hope whatsoever for the peas Bai Yu gave her before leaving.

If not for being forced by circumstances, they would never have dared to be so certain and make such harsh statements in public.

This result is a relief, a way of getting back at her after the doubts she faced.

At the same time, she felt even more convinced of what Bai Yu had told her to say.
