Fairy Tail: Strongest Creature

"Rock Dream Demon!! Woo!! Ya---!!"

At this moment, Juvia suddenly covered her ears and screamed in pain: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Juvia!! What's wrong with you?!" Gray shouted worriedly, seeing Juvia's painful expression.

"Ugh!!"

Juvia's appearance changed—her hair hung loose, her clothes changed into a heavy metal rock style.

"Hell Hell!! Let you see the most terrifying and splendid hell!!"

Gray's eyes widened: "Juvia?! What's wrong with you?!"

Vidaldus Taka laughed loudly: "Wahaha! She has become my captive. Those who become captives of the Dream Demon will only obey my orders!"

Gray immediately understood: "Is it the sound of that guitar?!"

"Hey, you got it! Come on!! I love to see lovers kill each other!"

"It's not a relationship of love!!" Gray retorted.

"Let him see real hell, BABY!!"

"Water Bind!"

A water sphere formed under Gray's feet, trapping him inside.

"No no no…"

Gray gritted his teeth. Ingesting so much water made it hard to concentrate and cast magic. Being trapped in water for too long would cause him to lose consciousness. Was Juvia this strong?

Gray quickly froze the water sphere and shattered the ice.

"Juvia! Wake up!!"

"Water Whip!!" Juvia lashed at Gray with a whip of water.

"Ahhh!" Gray screamed as the water whip struck him.

"Hahahaha! It's useless! Useless! No matter how you call her, it won't work!"

"Tch! No other way, guess I have to take you out first!"

"ICEMAKE - Lancers!!"

Gray formed numerous ice spears aimed at Vidaldus Taka. Since Juvia was controlled by him, killing him should break the spell.

"Breaking Water!!"

Juvia unleashed a torrent of water jets. The ice spears and water jets collided, destroying each other.

"Wow! That was close, so close! If you want to defeat me, you must defeat my Dream Demon captive first."

"Water Strike!!"

Juvia turned into a violent torrent of water, attacking Gray.

"ICEMAKE · Shield!"

Gray quickly formed an ice shield, but Juvia's water flow circled around it.

"What?!"

"Crash!!" The violent current engulfed Gray's body.

"Wow ah ah ah!"

Suddenly, Gray heard Juvia's voice amid the water: "I'm sorry, Lord Gray! This isn't Juvia's will! Juvia would rather die than harm Lord Gray!"

"But Juvia hurt Lord Gray, Juvia is a sinful woman. Lord Gray, don't show mercy, kill Juvia!"

"Hahaha! Great! Great! Fight! Fight! Fight! This is hell! Hell!!!" Vidaldus Taka laughed.

Gray's heart burned with anger at Vidaldus Taka's words.

"You b*****d! How far will you toy with people's hearts!!!"

"Freeze it!!!"

Gray released powerful magic, freezing all of Juvia's water. In an instant, Juvia was encased in ice.

"Huh?!" Vidaldus Taka was stunned. His captive was frozen, rendering his control useless.

At this moment, a chilling aura emanated from Gray. Vidaldus Taka looked at Gray and saw that Gray had created a cannon-like ice weapon. Its icy muzzle aimed at him, magic condensing at the tip.

"Oops!!"

"You scumbag who toys with hearts and plays heavy metal! Disappear!!!"

"Ice Cannon!!"

"Chck!!" The shell fired.

"No---!!" Vidaldus Taka shouted in horror.

"Boom----!!!"

The ice cannonball struck Vidaldus Taka, blasting him through the wall. He screamed as he fell from the Tower of Heaven.

"Boom!" Gray freed Juvia from the ice, and she returned to her normal appearance.

Juvia wept bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Gray! ... It's all Juvia's fault. Not only did I fail to help, I even hurt Lord Gray..."

Gray smiled at her words: "It's okay, I'm fine."

"But...but..."

"Let's go. We have to keep saving people!"

At the top of the Tower of Heaven:

"Vidaldus Taka was defeated too, and two members of Trinity Raven have fallen. But it's not without good news."

Twenty minutes ago at the Magic Council ERA:

"Regarding whether to use Etherion on the Tower of Heaven, the vote is four for and five against. It's decided not to use Etherion."

Org said: "Wait, Siegrain! You really understand the current situation?!"

Org continued: "Stop this wrangling, Siegrain. After thorough discussion, we chose a peaceful resolution."

"Peaceful resolution? While we waste time, history marches on! Jellal wants to bring the dead back to life!!"

"That said, we don't know if the R-System will actually activate. Maybe it's too early for such an attack."

"That's because you don't know who Jellal aims to resurrect. If you knew, you wouldn't be so calm."

"What did you say?!"

"Siegrain, who is Jellal trying to resurrect?"

"In legend, the strongest and most evil black wizard in history—Zeref."

"What?!!!" All the councilors' expressions changed dramatically. As members of the council, they knew well about Zeref. He was a terrifying legend who'd shrouded the magic world for over 400 years.

Even now, items created by Zeref were terrifying magic weapons, like the recently encountered spells.

"What's going on?! Siegrain, explain clearly!"
