Chapter 57 Id: Deliora, how do you want to die?!
One week later.
On the train to the Kingdom of Islam.
Outside the carriage, the snow was pristine white. The train, cutting through the wind and snow at high speed, seemed to be heading into a completely snow-covered, silvery-white world.
[We have arrived at our final destination, the Kingdom of Isbon. Light travelers, please disembark in an orderly manner and proceed to the transfer station to change trains.]
Although the Kingdom of Fiore and the Kingdom of Isban are all-weather strategic partners on the continent of Ishgar and are both allied with the Magic Council ERA, they are controlled by different governments. Therefore, there is no train that directly crosses the two countries. Passengers who want to travel to either country need to change tracks at a transfer station.
"Excuse me, are you alright, passenger?"
After all the passengers had left the carriage, a conductor in a black uniform helped a young man who was severely carsick and had a pale face, slowly get off the train.
"I feel so awful."
The passenger suffering from motion sickness was none other than Id, who had chosen to "return home" after receiving Susan's distress letter.
Meanwhile, in order to reach the Kingdom of Ishban as soon as possible to defeat the demon Deliora, Id resolutely chose to travel by train.
Would you like me to get you a glass of water?
The flight attendants continued to serve Id patiently.
"No need for that. Just let me catch my breath."
Ide waved gently to the kind-hearted flight attendant in front of him, then looked across the platform at the snow-covered mountains in the distance and murmured, "It's been so long since I've been back here."
"Excuse me, may I ask you something?"
With his eyes closed, Id felt the cold air and the magical particles dancing in the atmosphere. He smiled slightly and looked at the flight attendant beside him, asking for advice.
"Please speak."
The flight attendants continued to provide smiling service.
"Do you know where Deliora is now?"
"Ide asked with a smile."
"Huh?!"
"Who are you referring to as Deliora?"
The flight attendant's smile froze slightly.
"Well."
"Are there any other Deliora besides the demon Deliora?"
Ide asked the flight attendant.
"Why do you ask why such a dangerous entity exists?"
The flight attendant's smile vanished completely, replaced by a look of panic. He simply couldn't understand why Id had asked about the location of the demon Deliora!
You must know that Deliora is a great demon recorded in the evil black mage Zeref's Book. Its power is immense, and it can turn an entire town into ruins in an instant. It is an extremely dangerous and terrifying existence.
"Of course, it's to punish him."
Id smiled and said this.
"I don't know Deliora's location..."
The flight attendant was stunned. He had heard that the demon Deliora had slaughtered the entire extermination team dispatched by the Magic Council's ERA.
Under such circumstances, is there anyone in this world who would dare to fight against that terrifying being?!
"What a pity."
After confirming that the flight attendants were unaware of Deliola's whereabouts, Ide sighed helplessly.
In Id's view, finding Deliora was more difficult than defeating her.
"If it is the demon Deliora, I have heard that someone has seen his tracks in the mountains thirty miles north of here. This information may be helpful in your fight against him."
Just as Id was lamenting that the task seemed more difficult than he had imagined, a rough voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Upon hearing the sound, Id looked over and saw a bearded man with a pipe in his mouth, enthusiastically sharing news about Deliora with him.
"North?"
Thank you.
"This information is very useful to me."
After thanking the man, Ide walked away through the snow and disappeared into the train station.
"Hey, train conductor."
After Id left, the flight attendant finally realized what was happening. Looking at the middle-aged man with a pipe in his mouth, she said softly, "Should I really tell that young man about Deliora? He's so young, he shouldn't..."
"You're wrong, Henry."
"If I'm not mistaken, that young man was definitely a powerful archmage."
The train conductor gently shook his head at the attendant in front of him, silently praying for Ido: "I hope you can successfully defeat the demon Deliora."
"call."
Thirty miles was neither far nor near for Ide at this point. Braving the raging wind and snow, he trudged through the deep, bottomless snow, until he reached the location Lie had described. By then, it was already getting dark. In order not to get lost in the snow-covered mountains, Ide activated his Observation Haki to its maximum.
Well, Id still doesn't know why someone who can use Observation Haki to search a radius of dozens of miles would still get lost.
Zoro: "Who are you implying anything about?!"
About five seconds later, Id fixed his gaze on the northeast direction and whispered, "I've finally found you, Deliora."
In a small town about twenty kilometers away from where Id is located deep in the mountains.
"roar!!"
The peaceful town was suddenly shattered by a piercing roar.
Suddenly, squads of soldiers bearing the insignia of the Magic Council appeared in the town, shouting anxiously, "Run! Deliora is coming!"
"boom!!"
Before the soldiers could finish speaking, a demon over ten meters tall, radiating a deep blue light and exuding immense pressure, appeared on the edge of the town. It emitted terrifying light from its mouth, blasting away any soldiers who approached it.
The demon was so powerful that these ordinary soldiers couldn't even get close to it.
This is the great demon recorded in the Book of Zeref, a terrifying being granted a 'ten-year' subjugation level by the Magic Council's ERA, a terrifying existence that no one but the Ten Wizard Saints can defeat—the demon Deliora.
In an instant, the firelight illuminated the entire town. The roars of the demons, the screams, pleas, and cries for help of the people, as well as the angry shouts of the soldiers, gradually blended into a cacophony that echoed continuously in the sky above the town.
"Run, Gray! The demon is coming!"
Among the townspeople fleeing for their lives, a middle-aged man with short black hair was running frantically, holding his young son in one hand and his beautiful wife in the other.
At this moment, the child named Gray was clearly stunned. When had he ever experienced something so cruel? His mind was blank, and he frantically ran away on his legs, relying on his biological instincts, until he saw a white light gradually engulfing his vision.
"Grey, you must live."
At this critical moment, Gray seemed to hear his parents' whispers. Just as he was about to be engulfed by the light, his father and mother formed a human wall, shielding him beneath them.
"Father, Mother?"
Gray's eyes reddened slightly, and helpless tears streamed down his face as he prayed to heaven, "Who will save us?"
"boom!"
Just as Gray was praying, the light that could shatter everything fell.
At this moment, Gray was utterly desperate.
However, one second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds passed, and the pain that Gray's parents had imagined did not occur.
This puzzled Gray's parents. A look of bewilderment crossed their eyes as they turned around and looked in Deliola's direction. What they saw next was a sight that would shock them for the rest of their lives.
Under the moonlight, Deliora, who was so arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, was now frozen into a statue.
What shocked Gray's parents even more was that a young man in a black trench coat appeared on top of Deliora, who was trapped in the ice.
"boom!"
With a wave of his hand, the young man conjured a deep blue magic circle that enveloped the entire town. A surge of icy air erupted from the circle, freezing all the wounded and forcibly locking away the life force of those on the verge of death.
"How do you want to die?"
After doing all this, the young man looked at Deliora beneath him and said coldly.
