Deep within the Jushi Mountains.
Lyon walked, looking utterly dejected, on the verge of collapse: "Isn't the West the most developed region?"
"Why are there still roads like this?"
"Isn't there a direct train to the West Coast Port?"
Ur chuckled and said, "Because there are too many Jushi here, and no one lives here, only a few hunters survive on the outskirts."
"No one would make such a losing business deal."
"Moreover, isn't this also a form of training?"
"Traversing these Jushi Mountains and then taking a ride from the nearest town can save half a month of travel."
"I can feel that Ultear has stopped."
"We'll meet soon."
Lyon was filled with curiosity about his master's daughter, but he didn't express it. Since Ur said so, he just followed along.
Ur, still full of energy ahead, raised a hand and pointed: "Lyon, let's see who gets to the foot of that mountain first."
After speaking, she quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain. Lyon snapped back to reality and shouted, "Despicable!"
"Wait for me!"
Above the Jushi Mountains.
On a magic airship.
Watching Ur and her disciple playfully race in the magic mirror, Azuma, one of Purgatory's Kin, couldn't help but shake his head: "What a foolish woman."
"She still doesn't know she's about to die."
Hades looked at the mirror and said, "The trap is definitely fine, right?"
Azuma nodded and said, "No problem."
"I checked it myself."
"As soon as this woman enters the formation, the moment it activates, eighty percent of her magic power will be suppressed."
"Plus, with you personally making a move."
"She won't be able to escape."
Hades let out a soft 'hmm' and said no more.

At this moment.
Magnolia Town.
At the Fairy Tail guild's small plaza.
Gar looked at the eager Laxus opposite him, then helplessly turned to Gray and said, "Alright, today I'll show you how to fight against Lightning Magic."
Many curious guild members gathered around, cheering and shouting. Gildarts watched Gar with schadenfreude.
Laxus opposite him had a serious expression, but his tone was confident: "Then, Big Brother Gar, I'm coming."
As he spoke, magic power surged into Laxus's arms, streaks of lightning flickered. He gripped his right wrist with his left hand, and aimed his right palm at Gar: "Lightning Impact!"
An arm-thick bolt of lightning shot out from Laxus's palm towards Gar.
Gar merely raised his arm and swiped it in front of him.
A honeycomb-shaped ice wall appeared in front of Gar. Gray was a bit confused, an ice wall couldn't block it.
But the next second, his eyes widened: "Nani?!"
The arm-thick lightning bolt hit the honeycomb-shaped ice wall and instantly scattered, spreading out. The heat generated by the lightning melted the ice wall, but it didn't pass through; it dissipated along with the melting ice wall.
Gray watched, dumbfounded, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.
Is this still Ice Magic?
Why is it different from mine?
Laxus on the opposite side was also stunned. When he fought Gray, the lightning always passed through the ice wall. Why did it melt away this time?
He didn't have time to think much.
Laxus knew he was in a battle and used every trick he had to attack Gar.
But without exception.
All of his attacks, guided by various strangely shaped ice formations, never even got close to Gar and completely dissipated.
