The magic circle's light flashed, and Ultear's true appearance was revealed before everyone's eyes.
Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her bangs framing her flawless, porcelain-like face, making her already beautiful features even more striking.
She wore a white, form-fitting dress that ended just above her knees, exposing her fair arms and thighs to the air.
A beige waistbelt highlighted her slim, delicate waist, which could be easily held in one hand.
The girl standing before everyone was incredibly stunning.
As soon as she appeared, both Gray and Lyon's eyes were magnetically drawn to her, their gazes locked onto her form.
It wasn't because of her beauty, but because this face held immense significance for them, occupying an irreplaceable place in their hearts.
The face they hadn't forgotten for the past ten years seemed to have crossed time and space and appeared before them.
"Uru?"
Gray and Lyon both extended their hands toward her, their voices trembling with a deep longing.
Hearing their calls, Ultear's brows furrowed, and a sense of frustration surged within her.
She hated being called that name.
However, there was no time to deal with them now.
Wiping the blood from her cheek, Ultear shot a fierce glare at Roy.
Since joining the Demon's Heart and becoming one of the Seven Sins of Purgatory, when had she ever been humiliated like this?
She was always the one to make others suffer, never the other way around.
Take Lyon, for example, and that little blue-haired fool who thought he controlled everything but was actually being manipulated by someone else...
These so-called gifted people were all living in the lies she wove.
It was so satisfying.
That was why Roy annoyed Ultear so much.
When a woman is upset, the energy and temper that explode from her are not to be taken lightly.
With a wave of her right hand, countless crystal balls appeared from the void behind Ultear, surrounding her in a dense mass.
Each crystal ball emitted dazzling light, instantly brightening the dim temple to the point it felt like daylight.
"Radiance of the Gods!"
Fueled by her anger at Roy, Ultear shouted and immediately unleashed a powerful attack.
However, starting with such a powerful move often leads to...
Under Ultear's control, these crystal balls—magically summoned from the future—fired intense lasers at Roy all at once.
The air was filled with the sound of lasers tearing through space, the powerful beams crashing toward Roy.
Seeing the lasers coming at him, Roy's sharp red eyes glinted, and he stepped forward with determined strides.
Instead of summoning a defense, Roy chose to endure the attack head-on.
He wanted to test how resilient his armor really was.
This would help him gauge his future tactics in combat.
"Not even dodging? Ridiculously arrogant!"
Ultear's heart swelled with both anger and a tinge of excitement at Roy's audacity.
"Then you'll pay the price for your arrogance!"
Ultear increased the output of her magic, sending an even more intense barrage of lasers toward Roy.
Amid Lucy's worried gaze and Ultear's gleeful one, countless lasers struck Roy.
The sound of sizzling and explosions filled the air as Roy's armor emitted white smoke under the onslaught of beams.
Amid the smoke rising from the shattered ground, Roy appeared to be engulfed in a thick cloud.
With Ultear's relentless attacks, the explosions grew deafening, and the temple shook violently, making everyone fear the structure might collapse at any moment.
Amid the explosions, no one noticed the steady, determined footsteps slowly but surely approaching Ultear.
Roy could feel the lasers causing some resistance and minor pain as they slightly pierced his armor, but they couldn't break through completely.
So, he continued forward without summoning his defense, pressing on toward Ultear.
This woman was having too much fun, but soon she would learn what a punch as big as a sand bowl felt like.
After what seemed like an eternity of explosions, the sounds finally died down.
Ultear, breathing heavily, looked at the thick smoke before her, feeling a rush of satisfaction.
The storm-like attack had let her vent her anger.
Now, all she had to do was wait for the smoke to clear and watch that arrogant, strange man's miserable state. That would bring her even more pleasure.
Suddenly, the smoke began to gently part.
The sound of footsteps became clear in everyone's ears.
Then, to everyone's shock, the tall figure of Roy emerged from the smoke and stood before Ultear.
Apart from some small pits still releasing smoke, his body was completely unharmed!
Ultear stared at him with disbelief in her eyes.
My attack, which could kill an S-class Mage and even severely harm a Holy Ten, had no effect on him? What kind of monster is this man?
At this moment, Ultear was so stunned by the failure of her attack that she even forgot to escape.
"Now, it's time for you to sleep for a while!"
Roy raised his right fist and looked at the dazed Ultear with a calm voice.
Despite Ultear's extraordinary beauty, in Roy's eyes, there was no distinction between enemies based on gender.
And this was justice points! He couldn't let that slip.
So, in front of everyone's stunned gaze, Roy's right fist ruthlessly descended upon Ultear's beautiful, captivating face.
