Chapter 272, Meeting the Parents and Being Recognized

In fact, the Yefrit next to Minerva is fake, just a fraud.

The real Yefrit is with Natsu and Gray.

However, even so.

Maybe because of the psychological trauma, Minerva was so scared that she was stiff.

It was like a small animal that would freeze to death after encountering a terrible thing.

On the other side.

Even though the giant demon Deliatai felt the fluctuation of magic power, he chose to believe his own eyes at this time.

He didn't avoid it!

‘Buzz’

A virtual flash killed it directly.

Natsu and Gray's bodies returned to normal.

Yefrit looked at the two of them, put his hand to his mouth to make a microphone, and said: "Ah-there is a pervert here."

"Shut up, you always slacking off!" Gray and Natsu rushed up angrily, one on each side, and put their arms around Yefrit's neck to suppress him.

"Sorry, sorry." Yefrit apologized quickly.

"Oh, that voice!" Natsu jumped up suddenly, remembering his original purpose, and immediately turned around and ran over in a hurry.

"Natsu, wait--" Gray shouted.

"Don't worry, our destination is the same." Yefrit said.

"How are Lucy and the others?" Since Yefrit said so, Gray would naturally not be anxious anymore, and turned to ask about Lucy and the others' situation. In his opinion, Erza definitely didn't need to worry.

"Well, they encountered a little trouble, and they were also affected by magic, but this guy has been killed, so it's okay." Yefrit nodded.

"Then let's go too." Gray said.

On the other side.

Yefrit said: "Gray and I are coming."

As soon as these words came out, Erza and others immediately knew that Yefrit standing next to Minerva was not a real person. They were originally going to relax, but they immediately became cautious again.

But Minerva didn't know what Yefrit meant, so she didn't have such a tacit understanding.

"Okay, Minerva, you are arrested." Erza said.

After all, Minerva was once a member of the Saberbite Tiger. Something must have happened to her to turn her into a dark wizard.

It has only been a short time, and Minerva probably has no chance to make a big mistake - even if she does, she should be judged by the Magic Council.

Minerva was unwilling to be arrested, and she attacked Freya, the weakest one, fiercely. This attack was blocked by Lucy and Wendy, and then she turned and ran.

Erza was about to chase, but Yevlit waved her hand, indicating not to chase.

"Why?" Erza was very confused.

Yevlit saw that Minerva had already run away, and explained: "Let's assume that what Minerva said is true, then the Dream Demon Eye is indeed not the guild she wants to join, but just her stepping stone. Then - since the dark guild behind the Dream Demon Eye is favored by Minerva, at least its strength is stronger than the original Saberbite Tiger, and it can even fight against us."

"What do you mean?" Erza understood.

"Let her run." Yefrit pushed his glasses with a smile: "This is her greatest value."

"Yefrit--" Erza said: "Ensure Minerva's safety."

Yefrit smiled and said: "As you say, Her Highness the Fairy Queen."

"Woo--" Erza blushed suddenly.

Her Highness or something

"Erza!"

Gray ran over, and Yefrit beside him slowly dissipated.

At this moment, the real body and fake body switched.

"Did the enemy run away?" Gray ran over and saw traces of fighting, but no enemies, so he asked.

"It's Minerva, I don't know what that guy is doing." Erza said.

"She?" Gray said: "I'm not surprised."

Gray looked at Freya and said in surprise: "Isn't this the one with the tail of the crow"

"Black hair." Freya hid behind Lucy.

"By the way, Freya, why are you here?" Erza asked in confusion.

"My home is here." Freya said shyly.

"Are you a villager here?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Then do you know what happened?" Wendy asked hurriedly.

"I don't know. When I left, everyone was fine." Freya started crying.

Anyone who went out with their family fine, and came back to find that their family members were frozen into ice sculptures and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, would feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Freya." Lucy turned around, hugged Freya and comforted her: "We have Gray, an expert in ice, Natsu, the fire dragon slayer, and Yefrit, who is quite knowledgeable about alchemy. Everyone in the village is still alive. They will definitely be able to find a way to save everyone."

"Thank you." Freya nodded while crying.

"Let's go find the Eternal Flame. It's strange. I searched the whole village and didn't find it." Erza said.

"The Eternal Flame is over there." Freya pointed to the mountain in the distance and said.

"It's not there. I've looked for it." Erza shook her head.

"No——" Freya said, "That mountain is the burning eternal fire."

"It's true that even the flames were frozen and became the shape of a mountain." Lucy recalled Volod's words and was shocked.

"Natsu also ran in that direction." Gray said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there was already a flame erupting on the mountain over there.

"That impulsive fool!" Erza shouted eagerly: "Let's go quickly!"

The group of people quickly ran down the mountain.

Natsu was found heating up the flames.

"Natsu—wait, let me try." Gray said.

"You?" Natsu was confused.

Gray said: "I have always had a vague feeling that I have the ability to lift it."

He walked up to the mountain, put his hand on the ice, and explained: "I feel that this magic power can be used by me, but it's just a little troublesome."

"Give me a moment, and I'll try to convert this ice into my magic power."

Gray felt confused when he entered the village.

He seems to be able to do this - absorb the magic power of other people's ice into his body, and then release it back, thus turning other people's ice into his own.

However, this is very dangerous.

Introducing other people's magic into your own body is courting death.

The Dragon Slayer Mage——can only swallow magic power of the same attribute.

Therefore, at first, Gray did not want to use this method.

But when he was fighting that demon just now, Gray absorbed a little bit in order to increase his fighting power as much as possible, but nothing happened.

Only then did he dare to experiment boldly.

fine--

Anyway, with Everit, even if something happened, he believed that Everit would be able to protect him.

‘Kakaka’

With Gray's transformation, the ice really began to melt.

And Gray didn't feel any discomfort.

So he gradually increased the conversion efficiency.

until full power.

"It's coming——"

Gray prompted, then, directly overclock!

'boom'

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire mountain melted!

But then, everyone was dumbfounded - the mountain was melted, but there was still no flame.

It's like this is just an ordinary ice cube, with no fire frozen inside.

"How could that happen?" Freya sat slumped on the ground, unable to accept this fact.

"What should I do now?" Lucy also panicked.

Erza scowled.

"Sniff..." Natsu sniffed, feeling something was wrong.

"Did I fail?" Gray was a little doubtful about life.

Everit patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, it worked."

He walked towards the depths, and everyone quickly followed. Lucy and Wendy also quickly helped Freya up.

If Everit said it was successful, then it must have been successful.

"There is fire!" At this time, Natsu shouted, and then he suddenly surpassed everyone and ran over.

There is an altar in front, and on the altar, although it is not big - there is indeed a small flame.

A gust of cold wind blew by, making everyone nervous, but the flames did not go out and were still burning tenaciously.

"Natsu—" Everit reminded: "In the end, it's up to you."

"Hehe!" Natsu turned his back to everyone. He bent his arms, clenched his fists, and put his other hand on the bulging muscles. He smiled and said, "Leave it to me!"

"Fire Dragon's——"

"roar!!!"

'boom--'

The terrifying fire dragon roared and impacted on the altar.

The small flame on the altar expanded instantly, forming a mountain of flames here.

Gray quickly took out an ice shield, protected everyone and retreated back.

Natsu slowly walked out of the flames. He was unharmed and grinned proudly: "It's lit!"

He walked towards the crowd, and Lucy was stunned by Natsu's handsomeness. She rushed towards him and said, "Natsu, you are awesome!"

"Hahaha——" Natsu put his arm around Lucy's shoulders and smiled proudly.

"Huh?" Natsu suddenly turned around again and said in surprise: "Uncle?! No wonder I feel familiar!"

The flames gradually condensed into the image of a flame dragon.

"I haven't seen you for four hundred years, Igunir's son." The Flame Dragon laughed.

"Isn't this Natsu's uncle?" Lucy said in surprise.

At the Dragon King Festival, Natsu temporarily recognized his uncle. Some people who didn't believe it finally believed it - it turned out that Natsu and the others were really raised by dragons - otherwise how could they become relatives.

But this is indeed a bit strange. After all, dragons have a history of four hundred years ago.

Except Akunolokia.

"It's not that long for me, uncle, are you okay?" Natsu asked with a smile.

"Well, it's not easy for me to say." Fire Dragon laughed: "I have been dead for a long time, and now I am just a ray of residual soul."

The Hell Flame Dragon, known as the Mad Flame Atlas Flame, had fought side by side with Natsu at the Dragon King Festival. Although Natsu was a human, he still recognized him as the son of Igneel.

Natsu suddenly felt a little sad.

Not long ago, he fought side by side with this uncle.

Kuang Yan looked at Lucy, smiled, and said, "What a lovely girl. Although she looks weak, she is also very strong. I agree."

Lucy blushed immediately. Does this count as meeting her parents? And it was recognized!

"Of course, Lucy is very strong!" Natsu didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. He hugged Lucy hard without any shyness, with a proud expression on his face.

"My time is running out." Kuang Yan said.

"Wait a minute -" Wendy said, "I have magic that can help you stay here longer."

"If that's the case, that would be great." Kuang Yan thanked him, and then asked, "Do you also have a familiar aura on you?"

"My mother is the Celestial Dragon - Grandine."

"No wonder that irritable guy actually has a well-behaved daughter like you." Kuang Yan said in surprise.

Wendy smiled a little embarrassedly, and then she began to release magic.

The Dragon Slayer Secret Art - Galaxy can awaken the dead soul and communicate.

Now, it can stabilize Kuang Yan's residual soul and give him more time.

'Pah'

Yevlit suddenly clapped his hands.

"What's wrong?" Gray turned his head to look at him and found that the other party was full of pride.

"Nothing." Yevlit smiled and said, "Parting must be for reunion."

Yevlit suddenly figured out something just now!

During the Dragon King Festival, what did he come back for in the more distant future?

The other party arranged Rogge and opened the Eclipse Gate, but did not communicate with him.

It was Yevlit, why?

Yevlit couldn't figure it out until this moment, when an idea popped into his mind.

Then he thought about realizing this idea.

Then--

He suddenly realized the purpose of the guy who had never communicated with them!

Wendy released magic, allowing Kuang Yan to stay for a little longer.

"My memory... is missing, those ices..." Kuang Yan had a headache.

Speaking of ice, Freya hurriedly asked: "Guardian, do you remember what happened in the village?"

Kuang Yan thought carefully, but there were too many missing memories, he could only extract some fragments-the memories he could still remember: "It was a man who mistook me for a demon, and in order to eliminate me, he froze this place."

"Is it an ice wizard?" Gray was shocked: "He can do such a thing."

As an ice wizard, he could not imagine how powerful the other party was!

"That is not an ordinary wizard--" Kuang Yan said: "He is a demon-killing wizard."

"This is the first time I have heard of a demon-killing wizard." Everyone was shocked.

"From his behavior and name, he is a demon-killing wizard?" Erza said.

"I" Kuang Yan's body began to flicker.

"No." Wendy shook her head: "My magic has reached its limit."

"Guardian!" Freya cried in grief.

"Child, don't cry." Kuang Yan said gently: "There are still people who accompany you."

"Companions--"

"And--"

"Family!"

Kuang Yan raised his head and raised the last arrogance.

"I am the Hellfire Dragon, the founder of this village, the guardian!"

"The misfortune of the village is my pain."

He looked at Natsu and said: "Son of Igniel, I entrust the embers of my soul to you, please use the flame inherited from Igniel to save this village!"

"No problem!" Natsu nodded.

Kuang Yan's flames erupted, and Natsu also erupted at the same time.

One man and one dragon formed two mountains of fire.

The crowd retreated under Gray's protection.

"The last memory--"

Kuang Yan said: "In the Book of Zeref--the most evil and ultimate demon--END!"

"That will be your enemy!"

"Four hundred years ago, Igniel failed to destroy him"

"You should be careful!"
