Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 509 Jerry Makes His Move (First Update)

Of all the mages present, only Ul had the experience of truly fighting Deliora at full strength, so she naturally knew just how powerful Deliora's demon magic attack was.

She had withstood this magical attack ten years ago when she went to save Gray.

The result was that it was impossible to stop!

If she hadn't dodged quickly enough, that blow would probably have killed her.

Even so, she lost a leg because she was a step too slow to dodge.

At that moment, she realized that she was no match for Deliora on her own, nor could she kill it. That's why she used Absolute Freeze, a life-sacrificing magic, to seal it away.

"The Demon's Roar!"

With a roar, Deliora unleashed an extremely thick and terrifying beam of energy that shot straight toward Erza and Natsu.

The black energy pillar was the first to come into contact with the massive ice shield erected by Uru.

However, the seemingly enormous ice shield only lasted a moment before crumbling under the weight of the black energy pillar, proving utterly ineffective.

"Ice Design: Shield!"

"Ice Design: Shield!"

Gray and Leo struggled to squeeze out the last bit of magic from their bodies and erected two more ice shields.

Unfortunately, even Uru's ice shield couldn't stop it, so how could Gray and Rio's ice shields possibly withstand it? With two crisp sounds, both ice shields collapsed directly.

After breaking through three ice shields in succession, the black energy pillar did not weaken much and continued to rush towards Erza and Natsu.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, black energy engulfed Erza and Natsu, then surged forward, its immense power tearing a long crack in the ground before finally crashing into the sea and disappearing below the horizon.

If you look down at the island from a high place, you can clearly see that the island looks like it has been slashed open, with a deep gash that almost splits the island in two.

This demonstrates just how powerful Deliora's Demon Roar truly was.

"Erza, Natsu!"

After seeing the black light fade away, Erza and Natsu had completely disappeared. Lucy, Happy, and the others in the distance immediately turned red in the eyes and almost burst into tears.

But just then, a voice full of relief came from behind them:

"Phew, luckily I reacted quickly enough, otherwise getting hit would have been troublesome!"

Everyone turned around and saw Jerry carrying Natsu in one hand and Erza in the other.

Clearly, it was Jerry who, in a moment of crisis, used spatial magic to save Erza and Natsu before they were struck by the black energy beam.

To be honest, even Jerry himself was startled by Deliora's demonic roar; its power was truly considerable.

Crucially, he could sense that the energy pillar also contained the dark energy unique to demons.

After setting Erza and Natsu down, Jerry flashed again and used Apparition to bring over the three of them—Uru and his apprentice—who had once again become Deliora's target and were exhausted of magic power.

"Damn it, we simply can't kill it completely with our strength!"

Leo punched the ground, his previous confidence in taking on Deliora single-handedly completely gone.

Only after truly fighting Deliora did he realize that his strength was far inferior to Deliora's, and even to his master Ul's.

"Leave it to me. Let me seal it again with Absolute Freeze. I'm already happy to see you all grow up healthy and become excellent mages."

Uru reached out and ruffled Leo and Gray's hair, speaking in a relaxed tone.

At this point, besides Jerry, the only one who remained calm was Uru, because she had already made preparations to seal Deliora again.

"No, I'll do it this time!"

Gray stepped forward, his eyes filled with determination.

He never wanted to see Uru sacrifice himself again; this matter started because of him, and it should end because of him.

"Hmph, as a junior brother, you still want to steal the limelight from your senior brother? You'd better just stand obediently in the back with Uru!"

Rio stood up and ran straight towards Deliora, clearly intending to use Absolute Freeze first and sacrifice himself to seal Deliora.

"Ada!"

However, he hadn't run far when Jerry slapped him back with a whip kick.

"Don't be impulsive, it hasn't come to that yet!"

Jerry admired the fact that the three of them were willing to sacrifice their lives, but there was really no need to make it seem like a life-or-death separation.

Even if someone were to sacrifice themselves to freeze Deliora, it wouldn't truly mean they were sacrificed.

He's still here, isn't he? He can just say whatever he wants to unseal her. After all, Uru was frozen for ten years, and he only took ten hours to restore her.

"Jerry, do you have any ideas?"

Erza stepped forward and said seriously.

President Makarov once told her that Jerry might be hiding extremely powerful abilities, but he was a low-key person who was focused on studying magic, so he hadn't shown them.

At this moment, so many people are no match for Deliora. If Jerry is really as the chairman said, there is indeed a sliver of hope.

"I have a shortcut that might work; I'll give it a try!"

Jerry smiled and nodded, then Apparated and disappeared from the spot.

Based on the strength Deliora had demonstrated, he might not have been able to defeat him without unleashing some powerful magic.

However, just now, after witnessing the power of Deliora's Demon Roar, he had a new idea: a way to easily defeat Deliora by taking a shortcut.

Meanwhile, Ultear, who had been hiding in the shadows, was also in a state of great inner turmoil.

Although she said that Uru was not worthy to be her mother, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that Uru had really been resurrected.

But when she saw Ul, Gray, and Leo so happy, she fell into jealousy and hatred, and even hoped that Deliora would kill them all.

However, seeing that Uru and the others were almost all on the receiving end and seemed to be really going to be killed by Deliora, she was confused again.

Finally, upon hearing that Ul was going to sacrifice himself again to seal Deliora, an extremely angry expression appeared on her face:

"You're willing to sacrifice yourself for your adopted disciple, yet you abandon me? Do I disgust you that much? Die! Die! When the Great Magic Era arrives, I will surely find true happiness!"

She decided to refrain from intervening and wait until Deliora had killed everyone on the island before using a method that allowed her to control Deliora to bring him back to Chairman Hades.

Just as she made up her mind, she suddenly frowned, because she saw that the mysterious mage named Jerry stopped Uru and the others from using Absolute Freeze, and instead used spatial magic to come to Deliora's side.
