"Aren't you curious about what I did during the ti I disappeared?"
Ron stood before the magic crystal, a playful arc playing on the corners of his mouth.
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
Hum—!!!
The entire Tower of Heaven began to tremble violently!
Inside the water sphere on the sea surface.
"Look, everyone! What is that?!" Lucy pointed at the tower in the distance and cried out in surprise.
On the originally deep blue tower body, several extrely complex magic circles emitting an eerie red light appeared without warning!
In an instant, the entire Tower of Heaven was enveloped in light.
And the most dazzling part was undoubtedly the top of the tower.
"This is..."
Erza looked at the scene before her, her pupils shrinking slightly. "The village in Clover Canyon?"
"That's right. I combined it with the Iced Shell magic circuit and made a tiny bit of modification."
Ron nodded in affirmation, then looked at Jellal opposite him.
He patted the magic crystal beside him, "How is it? Is this surprise acceptable?"
'Surprise my foot!!!'
Jellal's face turned ashen, the veins on his temples throbbing.
The magic power within his body suddenly erupted, and his body was instantly covered in a layer of teor-like radiance.
This ti, he held nothing back, his killing intent boiling to the extre.
If he couldn't deal with Ron, all his efforts over the past eight years would end up benefiting Ron instead.
"teor!!!"
Before the sonic boom of the air being torn apart could spread, Jellal's figure had already vanished from the spot.
Fast!
Faster than before!
In almost the blink of an eye, his fist, carrying terrifying magic power, had already reached Ron's face.
"Die!!"
Facing this strike, Ron didn't dodge like he had before.
He stood in place, a golden light flashing in his eyes, and then—
Raised his hand, clenched his fist, and countered!
Bang—!!!
Two fists collided fiercely in the air.
A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly, and spiderweb-like cracks imdiately burst open beneath their feet.
"What?!" Jellal's pupils shrank. "How is this possible..."
Swish!
Just as Jellal was montarily paralyzed, a flash of crimson blade-light lit up.
Erza, holding the Demon Blade Benizakura, seized this fleeting opportunity and slashed down directly!
Jellal cursed inwardly and had to give up his contest of strength with Ron. Using the counter-force, he forcibly distorted his body, avoiding the lethal strike by a hair's breadth.
Even so, the sharp edge still sliced off a few strands of his blue hair.
Jellal slid back dozens of ters, creating distance, and looked at Ron with a look of suspicion and uncertainty.
"Surprised?"
Ron shook his hand. "Just now I was rely waiting for the Etherion to fall, not wanting to cause unnecessary complications."
"You didn't really think... I was afraid of you, did you?"
But it had to be said, a full-strength Jellal was indeed quite a bit stronger than Jose; taking him down would really require a lot of effort.
Ron glanced at the ground, which had cracked from just a simple collision.
'This is a bit troubleso. If we really fight, won't this place collapse?'
'But...'
He glanced at Erza; Erza couldn't stop Jellal either.
Just as Ron was feeling conflicted, a figure burst onto the top of the tower.
Looking at the pink-haired boy who walked in swaggeringly.
Ron raised an eyebrow: The muscle is here!
"Natsu, you've co at just the right ti!"
His expression was unusually serious as he pointed at Jellal opposite them.
"Erza, Natsu, I'll leave this guy to you two, is that alright?"
"I need to use the R-System to do sothing. I can't let him cause destruction, and don't let him disturb ."
Though they didn't know what Ron planned to do, seeing his solemn expression, both understood.
This matter was definitely extrely important!
"No problem!"
The two didn't hesitate and agreed imdiately.
To balance the combat power, a ball of golden-red fla containing Dragon Force ignited in Ron's hand.
"Co!"
He held the ball of fla to Natsu's mouth. "Let give you a buff first."
"Ohhh! This fire slls... so good!"
Natsu's nose twitched, drool flowing. Instinct drove him to open his large mouth and swallow the fla in one gulp.
The next second.
Roar—!!!
Amidst the roar, Natsu's magic power soared, and patches of dragon scales appeared on his face.
A terrifying heatwave swept through the area, and the burning flas behind him faintly outlined the phantom of a ferocious giant dragon!
"This power... I'm fired up!!!"
From the mont Natsu burst in to when Ron drew out the Dragon Force.
Only a very short ti had passed.
As a result, Jellal had no ti to stop it at all and was forced to face a situation where he was besieged by Erza and Natsu.
"Don't be too arrogant!!!"
Jellal roared, his figure transforming into a teor.
Clang—!
Boom—!
The Demon Blade Benizakura in Erza's hand sliced through the air, its air-splitting slash colliding fiercely with that teor.
At the sa ti, Natsu, enveloped in golden-red flas, swept a whip kick across, heatwaves rolling.
The sword was sharp, the magic swift, and the flas tumbled.
At this mont, the top of the tower completely beca the center of a storm.
However.
Even facing a pincer attack from two people, Jellal still appeared to have room to spare.
His figure was like a ghost, weaving freely through Erza's blade-light and Natsu's flas, occasionally finding ti to counterattack with a few magic bullets that forced the two to defend.
While dealing with the two, Jellal quietly shifted the battlefield toward Ron.
"Fighting ... and you still dare to look around!"
Noticing Jellal's intention, Natsu directly struck with a heavy punch.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"
Bang—!!!
Despite Jellal's tily reaction, the intense flas still blew him away, crashing onto the magic crystal floor, grinding and sliding until he hit the wall and stopped.
Looking at the successfully restrained Jellal, Ron's lips curled up slightly.
He turned and touched the magic crystal in front of him.
Buzz—
The bright red magic circle trembled slightly, and the smooth surface of the magic crystal imdiately rippled like water.
Ron took a step and walked directly into it.
"This..."
Natsu and Erza saw this scene and stopped in their tracks abruptly.
"That guy Ron... went inside?!"
Natsu's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.
Erza was also shocked, but out of trust in Ron, she gripped her long sword tightly, warily watching Jellal in the distance.
As for Jellal, he had just climbed up from the ground when he witnessed the final mont of Ron completely disappearing into the magic crystal.
When Ron had completely vanished.
The surface of the magic crystal regained its hardness and calm, with only those bright red magic circles flashing frantically.
"..."
Jellal was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the magic crystal that had swallowed Ron, his brain sowhat stalling.
This... what kind of operation is this?!
The R-System is used to resurrect the dead and requires a sacrifice... what's the deal with him stuffing himself inside?!
Suddenly!
A bolt of lightning flashed through Jellal's mind.
He rembered what Ron had said before—
[How about... let be the believer of Zeref instead!]
An utterly absurd yet seemingly logical thought grew wildly in Jellal's heart like weeds.
"Could it be... everything he said was true?!"
Jellal's pupils shook violently as he muttered to himself.
"This guy..."
"Is he really a believer of Zeref?!"
