Chapter 50 The Resurrection of Deliora
Chapter 50 The Resurrection of Deliora
After watching Gray leave, Shirou Kotomine turned his gaze back to the mages.
Although they are called mages, their magical power is actually not that strong.
But that's normal.
After all, they were all ordinary people who had survived Deliora's destruction by sheer luck, and most of them probably hadn't honed their magic in the first half of their lives.
Even if they study for several years, how much real ability can they possibly have?
Lucy probably didn't realize it.
But the experienced Erza had already guessed this possibility.
Therefore, her fighting style at this time was not as fierce as when she fought against the Dark Guild.
She was using the back of her sword to whip people at that moment.
Instead of using a sword to cut people.
That's why they're being held back here by these mages.
Otherwise, whether it's Erza or Shirou Kotomine, if they were to unleash their full power, none of these guys would survive; they could take them all down in a few dozen seconds.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine felt that Erza probably shared the same thoughts as him.
They all wanted Gray to solve the problem himself.
And so, without a word, Shirou Kotomine and Erza began to slack off.
Only Lucy, who knew nothing, kept whipping people.
The battle here quickly reached a stalemate.
However, this stalemate did not last long.
Suddenly, a series of loud noises came from the temple not far away, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Wait, when did the temple return to its original state?"
Lucy exclaimed in surprise.
Erza's eyes were also filled with doubt.
In fact, Erza let Gray go unchecked because she knew that Deliora's resurrection was impossible.
Just before Shirou Kotomine and the others arrived here.
Natsu, who had returned there beforehand, infiltrated beneath the temple and began his destruction.
By destroying one of the temple's pillars, the entire temple tilted severely, preventing the activation of the Moon Drops.
It's important to know that the Moon Drop magic circle that Leo set up was built on the top of the temple, and then the condensed essence of the moon, the "Moon Drop," was dripped onto Deliora directly below through a straight magic channel.
However, as the temple tilted, the magical conduit that transmitted the Moon Drops also tilted.
Therefore, the Moon Drops can no longer drip onto Deliora.
Deliora can no longer be resurrected.
In addition, the mages who activated the Moon Drop magic circle are also here to stop Erza and her friends from advancing.
Meanwhile, the henchmen of the opposing mastermind, Leo, have also been defeated.
Leo is the only dangerous fighter left.
In this way, if Natsu, who destroyed the temple, and Gray, whose injuries were healed by Shirou Kotomine, join forces, victory is almost certain.
This is why Erza felt comfortable letting Gray go alone.
But at this moment, everything has changed.
The restoration of the temple brought two dangerous signs.
One is that Deliora's resurrection has once again entered the countdown.
Another possibility is that there is an enemy in the temple who may be even stronger than Rio.
Upon seeing the temple restored, Erza immediately shouted, "Stop playing around, Shirou! Finish them off quickly!"
"Huh? You guys are playing around?"
"yes!"
Lucy and Shirou Kotomine responded simultaneously.
Lucy never expected that Erza and Shirou Kotomine had been playing games all along.
Because she wasn't summoning any Celestials and was instead engaged in hand-to-hand combat with her whip, Lucy didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
So she didn't even notice what Shirou Kotomine and Erza were doing.
Until Erza herself shouted it out.
This undoubtedly left Lucy speechless.
Even my weakest self is struggling.
The two strongest players are actually just playing around?
This is outrageous!
Lucy wanted to yell at the two of them.
But when she thought about the punishment she still hadn't received, she shut her mouth again.
If I expose their shortcomings now, I'll definitely be retaliated against later!
Lucy thought to herself.
On the other hand, although Shirou Kotomine knew that the incident was just a close call, he still had to obey Erza's orders.
Then, Shirou Kotomine waved his hand.
A magic circle immediately appeared on his palm.
The costume-changing magic is activated.
The next moment, a staff appeared in his hand.
Kotomine Shirou's alternate dimension has been initially opened up, and it can now store some small items.
This includes the three staffs of Shirou Kotomine.
At this moment, what was summoned by Shirou Kotomine was the stone lock, one of the three staffs.
Then, Kotomine Shirou planted his staff into the ground.
A massive magic circle quickly opened, and countless clods of earth transformed into chains, binding everyone present.
Meanwhile, Erza's figure kept flashing through the crowd.
Everyone was quickly knocked unconscious by Erza.
"Walk!"
Erza gave the order.
The three, including Shirou Kotomine, quickly ran towards the temple.
Standing before the temple, having observed the entire situation, she immediately instructed, "The Moon Drop's magic circle has activated again. Lucy and I will go and stop it."
"Shirou, go down there and help Natsu and Gray fight."
After saying that, Erza led Lucy upstairs.
"That's really decisive!"

Watching Erza and Lucy's retreating figures, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but shake his head.
Then he slowly walked into the temple.
Shirou Kotomine was well aware of Erza's concerns.
A formidable foe certainly exists.
However, the other party's purpose in coming here was only to revive Deliora, and they had no other intentions.
Therefore, Natsu and the others are not in danger.
Arriving at the foot of the temple at a leisurely pace, Shirou Kotomine quickly found Deliora's location.
After all, the sounds of Natsu fighting were quite noticeable here.
When Shirou Kotomine arrived here, the first thing that caught his eye was Deliora's body.
Huge and dangerous.
"That's Deliora! He's way cooler than Spellcaster."
Seeing this, Kotomine Shirou smiled to himself.
With the arrival of Shirou Kotomine, the battle on Natsu's side also ceased.
Natsu's enemy, Ultear, who was disguised as an old man, had stopped what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Natsu, who had been getting beaten up the whole time, quickly spotted Shirou Kotomine.
"Shirou, come quick, help me!"
Natsu shouted loudly.
To be honest, this is very unlike Natsu's usual habits.
He usually minds it when others steal his rivals.
But this time is different.
In order to stop Deliora's resurrection, Natsu didn't care about anything else.
"It's too late, Natsu!"
Kotomine Shirou shook his head.
This was not a refusal by Shirou Kotomine.
Rather, he truly sensed that Deliora's power had broken through the ice.
The demon that Gray's master froze with his life is about to break free.
