Chapter 47: See You Next Time, Ultear! Still No Solution
Seeing Zalty stand up after taking a punch, Natsu raised an eyebrow slightly, grinning as he prepared to attack again.
Raging flames burned behind Natsu as he punched his fists together, walking toward Zalty step by step.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
Natsu's speed increased, turning into a sprint, his arms slanted behind him.
Rushing straight at Zalty.
Seeing Natsu about to attack, Zalty's face was frosty, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
In the next instant, Natsu leaped high, flames coating his arms, diving straight at Zalty.
Just as Natsu's arms were about to hit Zalty's face, the crystal ball in front of him suddenly moved, blocking Zalty.
The crystal ball turned into a blur, appearing in front of Natsu in the blink of an eye.
With a heavy blow, just before Natsu could touch Zalty, he was sent flying.
The crystal ball floated slowly back to Zalty, who looked at everyone with a sneer.
"Damn it!"
Natsu roared from within the dust cloud, then his figure burst out, rushing straight at Zalty again.
Several times in a row, Natsu charged at Zalty only to be knocked away by the crystal ball.
Zalty frowned deeply, growing impatient as he watched Natsu roaring and charging at him yet again.
"Let's end this in one move!"
A magic circle condensed beneath his feet, magic power pouring into the crystal ball.
The crystal ball exploded with a boom, appearing instantly in front of Natsu.
Just as the crystal ball was about to hit Natsu's face, an ice wall suddenly rose from the ground in front of him, blocking the attack.
The crystal ball embedded itself in the ice wall, spinning continuously.
The sudden appearance of the ice wall forced the charging Natsu to stop.
Dissatisfied, he turned and shouted at Gray, "You ice-block bastard! Don't interfere in my fight!"
Gray looked confused. That magic wasn't his.
He glanced at Lyon, seeing him also looking back with a confused gaze.
At this moment, both realized something and turned their gaze to Ur behind them.
They saw Ur adopting a pose similar to Gray's, a small magic circle condensing on her fist.
"Ur, you...?!"
Gray looked at Ur using magic in surprise.
"How was that? Master's skill is passable, right?"
Ur grinned, rubbing the tip of her nose with a finger.
"Damn it!"
Zalty glanced hatefully at Ur, turning to rush out of the underground cavern and leave this place.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped him.
Zalty's face instantly turned deathly pale, his body feeling suppressed as if by a mountain.
Struggling to extend his palm, he grabbed the crystal ball beside him.
"Arc of Time: Flash Forward!"
Suddenly releasing the crystal ball, letting it float freely into the air.
In the next instant, beams of brilliant attacks appeared in the narrow cavern, rushing straight at Ren beside Erza.
Zalty knew that the only person present with such strength was Ren.
As long as Ren was dealt with, no one else was his match.
Ren waved his right hand, blocking the attacks from all directions directly.
Stomping hard on the ground, the floor shattered, and Ren appeared in front of Zalty in the blink of an eye.
Under the terrifying pressure, Zalty suddenly felt fear in his heart.
Shock flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly avoided making eye contact with Ren.
Having just witnessed how Ren extracted Deliora's soul, seeing Ren's familiar movement, he thought Ren was going to extract his soul too.
His body struggled constantly, using hands and feet to push and hit Ren.
Ren threw Zalty heavily, asking calmly, "How do we dispel the purple moon on Galuna Island?"
Tossed casually to the ground by Ren, Zalty clutched his neck and coughed twice.
"Moon Drip formed a membrane over Galuna Island. The moonlight passes through the membrane, creating the purple moon. You just need to shatter the membrane covering Galuna Island to solve the problem for the island's residents."
Zalty's heart was filled with shock and panic.
Facing anyone else, he had never felt such terror as when facing this man before him.
"I understand. You can go."
Ren nodded, showing no intention of settling scores with Zalty.
Thinking he was going to die here today, hearing Ren's words suddenly made Zalty look up sharply, staring at Ren in disbelief.
"Letting me go?"
Zalty looked at Ren in surprise, pointing at himself, doubting if he heard correctly.
"Not leaving? Then don't leave."
Ren raised an eyebrow, magic power spilling from his body, looking ready to step forward and kill Zalty.
Seeing Ren truly meant to let him go, Zalty didn't hesitate at all, summoning the crystal ball to his side and disappearing from everyone's sight moments later.
"See you next time, Ultear."
The moment Zalty left, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.
He turned back sharply to glance at Ren, his eyes filled with shock.
Why!
Why did he know her identity?
She had never had contact with this monster before.
Seeing the slight curl of Ren's lips, Ultear was even more confused.
"Is it really okay to let him go?"
Beside Ren, Erza looked at Ren's profile and asked.
Ren shrugged and smiled. "We don't have a relationship where we must kill each other, so why exterminate him?"
Hearing Ren's words, Erza nodded in agreement.
Wonder if those souls who died by Ren's hand would roar in anger if they heard this sentence.
"Let's leave here. I know the way to complete the request on this island."
Turning around, he shouted to Lucy, Natsu, and the others behind him.
Everyone hurriedly followed Ren, walking out of the temple.
Gray looked at Ur, who was also following, and walked beside her without hesitation.
Lyon hesitated for a moment but followed as well.
Lyon's several companions, tied up and left outside, looked desperate when Ren and the others appeared.
Since Ren appeared, it meant Lyon had also been defeated by him.
But seeing Lyon following closely behind, they were instantly stunned.
Puzzled beyond belief.
