Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Riyao and Mirajane ran to the top of the sycamore tree.

The phoenix tree absorbed half the life of the Underworld Beast, and now it is incredibly tall, with thick branches that spread out wide enough for horses to run side by side.

Beneath their feet lay a scorched battlefield, the massive carcass of the Hades Beast lying paralyzed outside the town, entangled in layers of vines, unable to move, and still convulsing slightly.

The two stopped at the highest point of the tree canopy.

The wind is strongest here, the rustling of the leaves is almost continuous, and the air is filled with the rich, irresistible life force of the sycamore trees.

Mirajane tilted his head, wondering what Sunrise was up to.

"Shouldn't we go and join the others? There's only one Hades left."

"Anyway, Natsu and the others are there, so there's no need to worry. Besides, the book's owner is here, so I won't get involved. I have more important things to do."

As he spoke, Riyao squatted down and placed his hands on the sycamore tree.

As I pressed my palm against the rough bark, a ray of warm green light slid down my wrist and into the tree trunk.

The sycamore tree trembled slightly, and its leaves rustled softly.

Mirajane didn't urge him, but just lay on his back, her chin resting on his shoulder, watching the green light crawl inch by inch along the bark's texture, like a living thing.

Mirajane pouted.

It's all very mysterious.

She lay on Riyao's back, hugging his neck and humming softly.

"What's so important? Tell me, tell me."

A smile appeared on Riyao's face. He just wouldn't say anything, wanting Mirajane to act cute for a bit.

......

Natsu stared at Gray's ice for a moment.

That was an entire ice wall that Gray had frozen with his demon-slaying magic, standing in place with a thick layer of white frost on its surface.

Natsu circled it twice, squatted down and tapped it, making a crisp thud, then sniffed it closer, his eyes lighting up.

It's not hard to see what he's thinking; he simply wants to eat this ice block to increase his demon-slaying power.

Natsu took a bite, chewed twice, his face scrunched up, his cheeks puffed out, and he spat the ice at his feet with a "pui" sound, then rubbed it with his toe.

"It doesn't taste good; it's not as good as roasted meat."

Gray heard Natsu complain about his ice, but he didn't bother arguing with him and just rolled his eyes at him.

Erza didn't hesitate for long and took command of the entire field.

"Gray, and..."

"That's Gray's dad—Silver," Uru kindly reminded Erza when she hesitated.

"Okay, Gray, Silver, you two will be the main force from now on. The rest of us will cover you."

Erza brandished her longsword and gave orders to the crowd.

Natsu and Gajeel both showed expressions of displeasure.

Why are those two ice-block father and son the main force? Why can't we be the main force?

Erza's eyes turned fierce as she glanced at the two of them.

The two immediately became obedient.

"Let's go, Gray!" the two said in unison.

Lucy rolled her eyes. These idiots... are hopeless.

Her magic was exhausted and she couldn't help much, so she hid away with Juvia and the others.

Jubia kept staring at her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Those eyes were fixed on Lucy without blinking, like two wet lines of water.

Lucy felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at, so she took a half-step to the left, and the gaze followed her half-step.

"Juvia, could you please stop staring at me like that?"

"A love rival..."

"I already said no, I have nothing to do with Gray."

Lucy covered her face and sighed. Juvia was completely impossible to communicate with.

She decided to give up and leaned back, letting that gaze linger on her face, pretending she was already used to it.

Natsu and the others surrounded Mardo, and their attacks came from all directions, which Mardo couldn't defend against for a while.

Flames, iron rods, sword light, and an even stronger demon-slaying chill, like an impenetrable net, layer upon layer, tightened towards the center.

The stone slabs beneath Maldo's feet were cratered and riddled with holes, and he had several cuts on his body, with dark purple blood flowing down his tattered robes.

If this continues, we'll be worn down sooner or later.

Maldo's eyes turned cold as he carefully put away the Book of End, and his body underwent a change.

He originally planned to wait for Fies to erupt before slowly dealing with the Fairy Tail members, but Fies has yet to erupt.

Of course, they wouldn't be able to wait for Fez to erupt.

If you could see the light screen in the control room right now, you would see the red dot symbolizing Fes on the screen decreasing at an alarming rate.

The Heavenly Dragon, Iron Dragon, Shadow Dragon, and White Dragon raced across the skies of Ishgar, smashing through everything with their bare bodies without even using magic. Fies was as fragile as paper in front of the four dragons.

Unfortunately, Maldo didn't know that.

He shed his human form and became completely demonic, his overall shape being a humanoid bat with a metallic texture.

His skin cracked inch by inch, and armor grew out from under his skin, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.

Its back was arched, and its pair of bat wings spread out to be several feet wide.

Its entire body grew much taller, and its toes transformed into sharp claws, digging deeply into the broken stone slabs.

The moonlight fell on the metallic shell, reflecting a cold, sharp light.

"You should feel fortunate to die by my hand; it's an honor for you."

Never forget death.

Countless vengeful spirits surged from Mardo's body, transforming into a purplish-black mist that rushed towards the Fairy Tail members.

The vengeful spirits were densely packed, layer upon layer, as if squeezed out from the depths of hell, shrieking and wailing, and merging into a thick, purplish-black mist.

The mist spread along the ground, and wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and turned black instantly, and a layer of grayish-white death aura appeared on the ground.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and hurriedly retreated, but the purplish-black mist moved even faster than they expected.

Before I could even take a half step back, the mist had already caught up with me, wrapping around my ankles, climbing up my arms, like cold snakes burrowing into my pores.

A purplish-black mist enveloped everyone.

An aura of decay and death erupted.

Even the flow of magic became sluggish, and the body was completely unable to move.

A dense, stinging pain spread across my skin; it was as if my life force was being slowly drained away.

A beam of withered green light shot into the sky.

Dead silence.

Everyone was frozen in place, completely still.

The wind stopped, and even the dust hung suspended in mid-air. Only the withered green pillar of light stood tall, silently proclaiming that this place had become a land of death.

Lucy covered her mouth, staring at the scene in stunned silence.

She tried to shout, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Juvia tried to rush over, but Lily and Habi quickly pulled him back.

She lunged forward, her shoes leaving two white marks on the gravel.

Lily grabbed her arm tightly, and Hapi flapped his wings and hugged her waist, barely managing to stop her.

Just then, Riyao's incoherent voice rang out.

The sound was soft, carrying a lazy and nonchalant air, yet it was like a pebble thrown into stagnant water.

"That's a great name for this move, I'll try it too."
