Yuka's Wave Magic continuously bombarded Deliora, his forehead was covered in sweat, which ran down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
But his gaze remained firm, without the slightest retreat.
Each attack made Deliora's body tremble, its life force constantly being burned away.
His breathing became rapid, but the magical output from his hands did not weaken in the slightest.
Toby, like an agile monkey, leaped around on Deliora's body.
His movements were as fast as lightning, making it impossible to follow him with the eyes.
His claws continuously attacked Deliora's vital points, each strike accurate and deadly.
The effect of the paralyzing poison became increasingly evident; Deliora's movements grew slower and slower, and its reactions became more sluggish.
Deliora struggled desperately, its immense strength breaking free from the Stone Giant's restraints.
It swung its massive fist, accompanied by a whistling wind, towards Lyon.
Lyon dodged nimbly, his figure flickering like a phantom.
At the same time, he commanded the Ice Hawk to dive down from the sky, moving as fast as a meteor.
The Ice Hawk's claws slashed past Deliora's eyes, forcing it to raise its arm to block.
The Ice Hawk's claws left deep wounds on its arm, and black blood gushed out like a spring.
At this moment, Sherry's Stone Giant attacked again. They embraced Deliora's waist, their rocky muscles tensing as they roared.
Then, they lifted it high above their heads and slammed it hard onto the ground.
A huge crater was smashed into the ground, gravel flew, and dust billowed.
Deliora let out a painful roar, its voice filled with despair and unwillingness.
Yuka seized the opportunity, gathering all his magic into his hands and unleashing his strongest Wave Magic.
This time, the Wave Magic formed a massive energy ball, more powerful than any before.
The energy ball glowed with dazzling light, carrying an aura of destruction, and struck Deliora directly.
Deliora's body was engulfed by the energy ball, which emitted a blinding light that made it impossible to look at directly.
Within the light, Deliora's body began to show cracks, and its life force rapidly drained away.
Toby also took the opportunity to leap onto Deliora's head, plunging his claws into its skull.
The power of burning life reached its peak at this moment; Deliora's body began to emit large amounts of red smoke, like burning red flames.
Fine cracks appeared on its body, like porcelain about to shatter, and its struggles became increasingly weak, finally ceasing to move.
The four of them, including Lyon, stood in place, panting heavily.
Their bodies were covered in sweat and blood, their clothes were tattered, and their hair was disheveled.
But their eyes were filled with an indescribable sense of relief and emptiness.
Sherry and the other two walked over to Deliora's corpse, their faces somber.
They remained silent, mourning their lost loved ones.
After killing their enemy, there was no joy of revenge, only an emptiness in their hearts and a sudden, overwhelming sadness, like a tide.
Lyon stood beside the three, saying nothing, then turned to look at Ezreal and Ur, who were walking towards him.
Lyon looked at Ur, whose appearance had not changed in the slightest, his expression momentarily stunned, and two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Lyon's shoulders uncontrollably shook; he wept while showing an ugly but happy smile, softly saying, "It's so good to see you again..."
Ur's eyes were red, but she held back her tears, forcing an awkward smile and saying with relief, "Well, the little brat from back then has grown so big."
Ezreal did not disturb Ur and her disciple's reunion and reminiscing. He quietly stepped past Sherry and the other two, arriving at Deliora's corpse.
He bent down, and white light shone on his hands; Deliora's corpse vanished in a flash, taken into the Canyon.
Ezreal clapped his hands, shaking off some dust, and spoke to the three with his back to them, "The road is still long, isn't it?"
After Ezreal finished speaking, without waiting for the three to respond, his body abruptly exploded into golden energy particles, disappearing into the cave... Galuna Island, by the sea.
Ezreal strolled leisurely along the beach, the bright moon hanging high, its light shimmering on the sea.
The sea breeze blew gently, carrying a faint salty scent.
Ezreal found a spot, stopped, and calmly gazed at the sea.
After a long time, Ezreal spoke softly.
"If you want to ask anything, now's your chance."
The entire beach was deserted, the waves crashed, but there was no reply.
Suddenly, rustling footsteps sounded behind Ezreal.
On the previously flat beach, a bump suddenly appeared, and a woman in a white kimono with long black hair emerged from the sand.
The woman in white wore a pair of high heels, her steps light as she walked along the beach towards Ezreal.
The woman in white stopped ten paces from Ezreal. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes fixed on Ezreal's back with a complex gaze.
The woman in white spoke softly, "Who exactly are you?"
Ezreal did not turn around. He quietly looked at the sea, his gaze slowly extending into the distance, "In the cave, didn't you already hear it once, Ultear?"
Ultear!
Ur's daughter!
In the original anime, she was one of the important supporting characters who was a villain in the early stages, later redeemed, and even sacrificed her life for the protagonist group.
Ultear did appear in the Galuna Island arc, but she used transformation magic to change her appearance and cooperated with Lyon and others, attempting to use them to release Deliora, which she would then control.
But that was later in the story; according to the current timeline, Ultear hadn't had a chance to contact Lyon, and Deliora had already been dealt with.
As soon as he entered the cave, Ezreal had sensed a faint, almost imperceptible gaze.
The Shadow Worgen, with its keen sense of smell, had also warned Ezreal in advance that there was another person's presence in the cave.
Ezreal didn't even need to think; it had to be Ultear, who wielded the lost magic, Arc of Time.
On the entire Galuna Island, only she had the power to avoid most people, appear in the cave, and be interested in Deliora.
Her true name exposed in a single sentence, Ultear's expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
"You know who I am..."
Ultear looked at Ezreal's back with a complex gaze, "Looking back through history, those who can reverse life and death are few and far between. Who exactly are you?"
Ezreal smiled and clarified, "It's not about reversing life and death. Your mother is alive and well; it was merely restoring her from ice to a human, the difficulty isn't that high."
Ezreal slowly turned around, a smile on his face, his tone sincere, "As far as I know, your Guild Master, Precht, should also be able to do it."
Ultear's face suddenly changed, her expression instantly turning grim.
The beach suddenly became silent, and a chilling killing intent descended.
Ultear's eyes were cold, her black pupils revealing murderous intent, "How do you know this?"
Ezreal shrugged, his smile unchanged, "Which part?"
"Your Council identity?"
"Deceiving Jellal?"
"One of the Seven Kin of Purgatory?"
