1.6 Ressurection

"The Reversing of Time Flow, let the past become the present." Kali muttered as cracks started to appear from the ice. "I apologize for this Ur, but for just a moment, I'll bring Deliora back to show them the horror. Forgive me."

As a huge chunk of ice shattered into pieces, the rest of the ice did the same. And while the rest of the ice were shattering, nimble movements of Deliora could be seen.

Kali gazed at the demon of destruction created by Zeref as it started moving its legs and arms. Because the ice was broken and Deliora was now alive, therefore, the Moon Drip spell was broken.

She smiled knowing that the others on top had no clue what was happening. Although she felt guilty about bringing the demon that killed Gray's master and parents back to life, this was needed in order to show them that Deliora was never to be touched again.

Deliora's eyes glowed bright red before dimming down. It's head turned around a few times to observe the environment it was in. When it spotted Kali, it let out a hostile and ear-piercing scream.

The nostalgia of Deliora's addiction to destruction and hostility made Kali smile. When she first met him, it escaped her before she could kill it and that was the cause of Ur's death. Perhaps if she didn't let it escape, Gray's master would still be alive.

The entire cave shook after Deliora's scream. Rocks started to fall from above as Kali dodged them with small movements. Suddenly, there was a fist coming towards her at a high speed.

Kali simply jumped back as she let Deliora's fist pass through. Unfortunately, Deliora's attack also wiped out the pillars that were holding the cave together. Kali frowned since she was forced to exit the cave, but it didn't matter, Deliora was going to get to the surface either way.

Once Kali was on the surface, she spotted the two still fighting. However, she overheard something that Lyon said that made her shake her head.

"If I can defeat Deliora that not even Ur could vanquish." Lyon said with crazed eyes. "Then I will have surpassed her. I can have the rest of my dream."

Kali walked towards them and pointed to the direction where Deliora was going to show up, which was where the people with cloaks were.

"Then, you better prove yourself. Cause Deliora…" Kali said with a smile. "He's back."

""Huh?!" Gray and Lyon exclaimed at the same time. ""What are you talking about?!""

Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound as well as a loud scream. Gray and Lyon turned to the direction of where it came from and couldn't believe what they saw.

"Deliora…he's alive." Gray said in horror before turning to Lyon and grabbing his shirt. "Idiot! Why would you do this?!"

Lyon quickly removed Gray's hand. "It's too early for him to be revived yet…the Moon Drip spell hasn't been completed yet. Something is wrong."

Once Lyon finished his sentence, he turned towards Kali. "You..what did you do?"

Kali smiled innocently and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't try to fool me." Lyon replied. "You were down there for quite a while, what did you do?"

Gray looked at Kali with an unreadable gaze. But Kali didn't give a reply.

"Deliora is now alive, you better prove your point." Kali said as she pointed to Deliora who was destroying the surroundings. "Or do you want me to take care of it?"

"Tsk, when I'm done with Deliora, you're next." Lyon said to Kali before running off to it.

"Oi! Lyon! Wait!" Gray called out, but it was no use. "Kali, what did you do?"

"I brought it back to life." Kali calmly replied.

"Why?! Do you know how dangerous that thing is? It killed thousands mercilessly!" Gray exclaimed.

"I know, but don't worry." Kali said. "If my plan goes wrong, I'll erase Deliora's existence from this world."

"Okay, but before that. How did you bring it back to life?" Gray asked with curiosity.

"You don't need to know about that. Just know that as long as I am here, everything will be fine."

Lyon charged at Deliora by himself, the overwhelming pressure befell on him but he kept going. His ambition to surpass his master gave him the adrenaline to break through the pressure. However, that was only the start.

An immense amount of vicious killing intent was directed at Lyon causing him to grasp his throat because the air was sucked out of his lungs.

He didn't think Deliora was this powerful even after just being revived. He couldn't even move under the tremendous killing intent to perform his ice magic.

Gray, who wasn't even close to Lyon, could feel the pressure Deliora was giving off. He took a glance over at Kali to see her reaction, but he only saw a smile on her face as if she wasn't even worried.

At times like these, Gray admired Kali. Her confidence and her ability to remain calm at all times made Gray want to learn from her. After all, there were a few things that Gray found difficult yet Kali did it with ease.

"Gray." Kali called out causing Gray to turn to her. "Aren't you going to help him?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Because if you don't, he's going to die. Watch."

As Kali said that, a huge magic beam was shot from Deliora's mouth. Although it didn't hit Lyon, it was dealing major damage to the island. There was a long dark path that had steam emitting from it.

"Tsk, just for the sake of Ur. I'll help him out." Gray said, but his tone held a bit of nervousness.

"Don't worry Gray, I'll be here." Kali said. "Also, don't worry about winning or losing. Just survive cause either way, the two of you won't be able to defeat Deliora."

Gray nodded his head and wandered off to help Deliora. However, he never regretted something this much in his life. The moment he entered Deliora's range, the air was slowly getting sucked away from his lungs.

"This damn monster!" Gray managed to croak out.

"Gray! Why are you here?!" Lyon asked.

"Idiot! I'm here to help you! There's no way you can defeat this thing alone, not even the two of us could beat it."

"How would you know?!"

"Because Kali said so!"

"Kali?" Lyon looked at Gray confused before the realization hit. "Ah, is that the wizard who was with you? Why do you believe her?"

"Because she's stronger than all of us on this island, she's even stronger than Deliora."

Lyon widened his eyes and didn't speak any further. Instead, he started struggling towards Deliora.

"Lyon! Just like the old times! You attack the body and I'll attack its legs. We'll stop it from going on a rampage."

"Like I'd listen to you!"

Kali watched as the two coordinately made their way towards Deliora. In case something happened, she would kill Deliora instantly before anything happened.

Suddenly, there was a strange presence behind her. In an instant, Kali was already behind the figure.

"Don't move."
