Gray shook his head helplessly.
Juvia nodded expectantly and looked directly at Gray.
Ask: "So, is it okay?"
"Sorry, no!" Gray sternly refused.
"What--!!"
Juvia's eyes widened for a moment.
Gray even heard an inexplicable sound of glass breaking.
"Why?!" she asked hastily.
"First of all, we are enemies, and I have no reason to help you do this."
Gray stretched out his fingers, explaining one by one:
"Secondly, the stars are in your guild now, why don't you ask for them yourself?"
"In the end, if you agree to others without Xingchen's consent, others will not be happy about this kind of thing."
Listening to Gray's words, Juvia lowered her head slightly.
The little hand holding the corner of the clothes became even stronger:
"That's because... because Juvia still doesn't know...how to face Master Xingchen..."
"After all, from a standpoint...we are in different guilds...so I..."
"Well...so shy..."
As she spoke, Juvia couldn't help covering her hot cheeks.
"Hey... Let me tell you that you know, are you on a different standpoint from us now?" Looking at Juvia at this moment.
Gray twitched the corners of his mouth and made complaints.
Shaking his head, Gray's expression became serious, and he said:
"Since you don't plan to fight, get out of the way quickly and I'll go find that old fellow Joseph!"
Having said that, Juvia also took off the palm on her cheek.
Staring at Gray, he dissuaded him:
"Although I don't intend to be your enemy, you'd better give up. President Joseph is very strong. You have no chance of winning if President Makarov has not recovered."
"So...in order to protect Master Xingchen from harm, you should retreat."
"As long as Lucy is handed over, then I will persuade the president to stop here."
Gray frowned: "You are really naive."
Juvia froze.
Rubbing the knuckles of both fists, there was a crackling sound.
Gray said, "Do you really think Joseph will give up?"
"Our two parties have long since had nowhere to retreat!"
"Whether it's Xingchen or me, or everyone in Fairy Tail, we have said before that Lucy is a companion!"
"Even if our lives are saved, it's impossible for us to hand over Lucy!"
hands touching together,
Gray was ready to fight in an instant.
Shen Sheng said:
"So! Come if you want to fight, if you don't fight, then get out of the way!"
The firm tone speaks of Gray's determination.
If Juvia is still standing in the way,
Gray will attack without hesitation!
"That's right...we are still enemies now..." Juvia lowered her head in frustration.
"However... I still can't take action against Master Xingchen's companions..."
"So...Juvia throws in the towel..."
Shaking her head slightly, Juvia got out of the way of blocking Gray.
Said softly: "You go!"
"This battle is between Juvia's benefactor and Juvia's idol, so Juvia will not choose to help either side."
Perhaps as a result of this confusion,
Gray was taken aback.
"Really... admit defeat?" He scratched his head in doubt.
Gray let go of his clenched hands and stood up straight.
With suspicious eyes, Gray took a tentative step.
Till passing Juvia's side,
They didn't find any movement from the other party.
Gray finally believed Juvia's words.
"In this case, in return, I will talk to Xing Chen about your affairs, but whether I want to sign for you... depends on Xing Chen himself."
Waving his hand, Gray walked away towards the distance while talking.
"Really?!" Juvia's eyes widened abruptly.
"thank you very much!"
—————
"Hey~ Don't fight now?"
The sudden voice made Gray and Juvia stunned.
"Really, since the ghost's woman doesn't want to fight, then I will!"
In the majestic heavy rain.
A fierce middle-aged man with a long knife pinned to his waist walked over slowly.
Rainwater flowed down his wet hair onto his cheeks with a ferocious smile.
He came to the opposite side of the two and stopped.
But his aggressive eyes kept scanning the two in front of him.
"What's the matter with this guy?"
Sensing the fierce aura coming from the pavement, Gray frowned deeply.
"Red Rain! Why are you here?"
Even Juvia looked serious.
"Look for prey, and finish my job by the way!" Hong Yu responded.
Then he turned his attention to Gray:
"Fairy Tail, an ice mage, who has the same famous name as Fire Dragon..."
The smile on the corner of the mouth became even more excited:
"So, between you and the fire dragon, who is stronger?"
"Does it need to be said? Of course I am much better than Naz!" Gray replied without thinking.
After all, in this matter, Gray has always believed that Naz is his own defeat.
Likewise, Natsu has always considered Gray to be his underdog.
However, Hong Yu didn't know this.
After confirming from Gray's mouth that he is stronger than Fire Dragon.
His eyes flickered towards Gray.
"Yeah?"
"That would be great!".
Chapter 160 begins an uncontrolled situation
"The hunt has begun!"
Hong Yu slowly pulled the long knife out of the scabbard.
presented in front of Gray's eyes.
From the black hilt, a small half of the bladeless blade engraved with the pattern of crying ghosts extends from the hilt.
What extends out to the blade is a sharp blade.
Strange scarlet patterns cling to the entire knife.
There was a cold light in the rain.
Hong Yu caressed the long knife lightly, just like a parent caressing their own child.
Aim the tip of the knife at Gray: "Demon Sword Red Rain!"
"At the same time, it is also the source of my name!"
Gray's frown did not relax in the slightest.
Lower your body slightly.
The chill spread continuously between the hands.
He yelled: "I'm not a prey, bastard!"
"It doesn't matter, the strong will be the prey!" Hong Yu replied.
Holding the handle of the knife in both hands, Hong Yu rushed out first.
Footsteps constantly alternate in the rain,
The astonishing speed unfolded in front of Juvia and Gray.
"Damn it, is it so fast?" Seeing Hong Yu approaching instantly, Gray's pupils shrank sharply.
A blue magic circle unfolded between his hands alternately.
"ICE·MAKE—Shield!"
boom--!
With the blade swung,
Gray's quickly condensed modeling magic instantly shattered into countless ice crystals floating in the air.
Puff——!
Blood exploded on Gray's chest.
The scattered blood seems to have merged into the rain and fell to his feet.
The widened eyes were still full of horror.
Even Juvia, who decided not to help anyone, covered her mouth in surprise.
Gray turned his sweaty head,
He looked at Hong Yu who appeared behind him.
