srizing sound waves rippled outward, layer upon layer.
Wherever they passed, the once-lush trees and vegetation withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye—as if every last drop of their vitality had been instantly drained away.
"This... the plants have all withered."
Lucy gazed at the forest—previously so dense and vibrant—now instantly turned a uniform, sickly yellow, its branches brittle and leaves faded; she was struck with profound astonishnt.
"Has all their vital essence been completely devoured by Lullaby?"
Ron's azure left eye—its analytical capabilities operating at full capacity—flashed with circulating runes, successfully piercing through to the true essence of Lullaby's life-slaying curse.
"So this... is the true nature of how you strip away life?"
By harnessing magical fluctuations and specialized incantations, it causes the sounds it emits to resonate with the unique life frequencies within living organisms. This allows it to invade the target's soul and vital core, dismantling their biological structure from within, thereby achieving its objective of rapidly draining away their life force.
As if having caught the sound of Ron's voice, Lullaby's three eyes widened even further as it let out a piercing, ear-splitting roar.
"I will devour your souls!"
Ron's heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly, he chuckled, and his gaze fixed directly on the behemoth before him.
"If you want to devour my soul, then co and try it, Lullaby..."
Just as his provocative and confident words fell, a slight and gentle wind suddenly blew around him.
The wind was not strong, but it ford an invisible shield that, with Ron as the center, quickly spread outward, enveloping everyone inside.
The next mont.
The intense, crushing pressure that felt like a mountain, along with that strange sensation of the soul being slowly drained away, suddenly eased the mont the wind shield ford!
That soul-captivating sound wave was completely isolated by the wind shield and could no longer penetrate their ears.
Lucy clutched her chest, panting heavily, "The pressure... it's gone?"
"Wind is also a type of wave."
Ron smiled slightly, invisible air currents swirling around his fingertips.
"When this wave has the sa frequency as Lullaby's sound but with the opposite phase, they naturally cancel each other out, thereby blocking the intrusion of this sound."
"This is called... science!!!"
Although the ordinary Wizards at the scene felt the pressure suddenly decrease, they were confused and just looked at Ron with astonishnt.
anwhile, the Guild Master-level figures—Makarov, Bob, and Goldman—were all staring at Ron's back with astonished expressions.
They were very well aware of what Ron had just done!
That was not just purely blocking the sound, but a precise analysis and reverse interference of the curse's source frequency!
Only in this way could Lullaby's devouring and deprivation of life be isolated.
'This kid Ron... can he even master the power of Lullaby's killing curse?!'
Makarov was deeply shaken, his gaze scanning Ron intently, before he laughed freely, his eyes filled with admiration and pride.
These juniors always managed to surprise him.
Lullaby let out an angry and distorted roar; it hadn't expected its prized curse-killing to be so easily broken by a human!
"Detestable ant!!!"
Beside itself with rage, it only wanted to devour the detestable human before it who had provoked it multiple tis, and its roars beca even higher in pitch.
It didn't believe that its proud voice couldn't penetrate a tiny wind screen.
But the next second, the originally high-pitched sound instantly changed tone, making a 'pfft' sound, leaving it stunned in place.
"Nani?" Lucy asked, confused, "What was that sound just now?"
"It wouldn't be... a muffled fart, would it?!" Happy retorted.
"What's going on? This sound..."
Lullaby looked around blankly, unable to believe that the fart-like sound just now had co from its own mouth.
"Where did my proud tone go?!"
"I get it!"
After thinking for a mont, Lucy figured out the reason.
"It was the attacks just now... Natsu and the others' attacks made many holes in Lullaby, so it can't produce sound properly."
"And then it was provoked by Ron, insisting on trying to force a sound out, so it naturally ended up like this."
"What kind of joke is this?!"
Lullaby was completely enraged and ashad; its huge body stomped everywhere, kicking around, causing everyone to dodge in a panic.
"Pieces are breaking off him..."
"And a massive chunk, too—this is truly atrocious..."
"Honestly, it's ti to put an end to this farce."
Ron looked toward Erza and her two companions, who were positioned at the four cardinal points.
"Erza, Natsu, Gray—finish him off!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!!!"
"Requip: Black Wing Armor!!!"
"Lightning Flash!"
"Ice-Make: Saucer!!!"
Lightning, slashes, and slicing discs rained down upon Lullaby in rapid succession.
"Natsu!" Ron and the other two shouted, "Now!!!"
"The flas on your left hand and the flas on your right hand, gather the flas from both hands together..."
Natsu's left and right hands were each wrapped in a fierce fla, and then the two flas rged in front of him, raised high above his head.
"Ahhhhh, eat this!"
"Fire Dragon's... Brilliant Fla!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The huge explosion resounded through the sky, and the intense flas instantly engulfed Lullaby!
The withered wood demon struggled and roared violently in the flas, and finally, its huge body quickly disintegrated, turning back into a flute, only now with a few cracks on it.
And the vitality it had just plundered was returned to the forest vegetation amidst little specks of starlight.
"This, my friends, is what you call END cleaning up the house!" Ron joked in a low voice.
Watching Lullaby completely disappear, everyone was dumbfounded.
It was hard to believe that in just a few seconds, that powerful and terrifying demon had been completely reduced to nothing under the joint attack of the four.
After a mont of silence, cheers erupted.
Lucy and Happy excitedly surrounded them.
"That was amazing! You really are the strongest team, that was just too cool!!!"
"Aye!!!"
The several Guild Masters also surrounded them at this ti.
"Wahahahaha! How about that, impressive, right!"
Makarov laughed triumphantly.
"To eliminate Zeref's demon so easily... truly remarkable!"
Goldman looked at the four figures revealed in the smoke and dust, sincerely admiring them.
"However, that kid nad Ron seems a bit different from the other children."
"I believe Makarov can handle it well."
"Let's not talk about that; it seems we owe Fairy Tail a favor now."
The other Guild Masters also whispered to each other.
"Oh my, Erza, Natsu, and Gray have all grown up so much."
Bob, wearing little angel wings, crossed his legs and, with a strange little gait, floated in front of Ron and the others almost instantly.
"Ron, long ti no see. You're getting more and more handso. If you were in our guild, you'd be very popular with the girls..."
"Uh, Master Bob, I'll go and retrieve Lullaby first..."
For soone like Bob, Ron really didn't know how to deal with him, so he had to find an excuse to leave quickly.
"Hehe, still so shy, Ron..."
"Eh, does Ron have tis when he's this flustered too?" Lucy said, confused, watching Ron's disheveled back as he fled.
Erza heard this, looked over, and imdiately lowered her head, chuckling softly.
Just as he picked up Lullaby, Ron heard a wail from his own old man.
Turning his head to look at the crowd laughing and playing, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew richer.
"What an interesting world, an interesting guild!"
