While Erza was heading towards Laxus's location, Gray, Cana, and the group over here were pondering how to deal with the continuously appearing Thunder Palaces in the sky.
"There are so many! If these Thunder Palaces release their lightning simultaneously, probably the entire Magnolia Town will be destroyed!"
Cana looked at the connected Thunder Palaces and spoke with shock.
"How long until these Thunder Palaces activate?"
Gray also understood the severity of the situation and asked in a grave tone.
"About three hours or so!"
Hearing Cana's words, Alzack and Bisca, holding their magic guns, walked over.
"Three hours should be enough!"
"With our guns, we can destroy all those Thunder Palaces!"
Alzack and Bisca stood back-to-back, winking at everyone.
"Oh, there's that method! If it's you two, you really can destroy them!"
Cana looked at Alzack and Bisca, the gravity on her face instantly replaced by happiness.
"Then let's destroy them all!"
As they spoke, Alzack and Bisca both raised their magic guns and aimed at the Thunder Palaces in the sky.
"Stop!"
Kenichi walked over and, seeing Alzack and Bisca preparing to attack the Thunder Palaces, his expression changed slightly. He immediately spoke up to stop them.
But as soon as Kenichi finished speaking, Alzack and Bisca had already fired.
Bzzzt!
Bzzzt!
The moment Alzack and Bisca pulled the triggers, two magic bullets instantly shot towards two of the Thunder Palaces.
Bang!
Boom!
When the magic bullets hit the Thunder Palaces, the two Thunder Palaces instantly produced a large amount of golden lightning, then exploded spectacularly.
"See? Three hours is enough to destroy all of these!"
Bisca, seeing the Thunder Palaces explode, showed a victorious smile on her face.
And Alzack also turned to look at Kenichi and asked: "Kenichi, you just told us to stop..."
Bzzzt bzzzt bzzzt-
Before Alzack could finish, two golden lightning bolts directly struck Alzack and Bisca.
"Arghh!"
Accompanied by two screams, both Bisca and Alzack collapsed to the ground.
"This is..."
Seeing Alzack and Bisca fall, the faces of Cana, Gray, and the others all changed dramatically.
"It's a body-link magic!"
"If you attack the Thunder Palace, the attacker suffers the same damage!"
"That guy Laxus..."
After helping the unconscious Alzack and Bisca up, Cana spoke through gritted teeth with hatred.
And Gray and the others, hearing Cana's words, felt the heavy stone in their hearts, which had just eased, rise again.
"Damn it! There are over 300 of these! How are we supposed to destroy them all?"
Gray looked at the large number of Thunder Palaces in the sky and spoke with frustration.
In Gray's view, even if each of them endured massive damage to destroy one.
They simply didn't have enough people.
There were still over 200 Thunder Palaces left.
And they only had a few dozen people.
"Is there really no way?"
Elfman, standing beside Mirajane, said.
"I'll handle it."
Just as everyone was at a loss, a voice came through the air.
Hearing the voice, everyone looked towards the sound.
"Kenichi, you have a way?"
Gray looked at Kenichi and asked.
"Don't do anything reckless! Those Thunder Palaces have body-link magic. If you attack them, you'll suffer equivalent damage. Alzack and Bisca have already..."
Levy glanced at the severely injured Alzack and Bisca and spoke to Kenichi with concern.
"Don't push yourself! Erza has already gone to find Laxus. As long as we make Laxus dispel these Thunder Palaces, it'll be fine!"
As soon as Levy finished speaking, Mirajane also spoke up.
"I have my own method."
Kenichi glanced at Levy and Mirajane, then used Neinhart's Manifestation Magic, Historia of the Dead.
As [Historia of the Dead] was used, on the empty ground over there, a large number of manifested individuals appeared out of thin air.
"Jellal?"
"Isn't Jellal dead? Why is he here?"
"And that owl guy? Natsu and I definitely defeated him!"
Lucy and Gray, seeing many people they recognized appear in the crowd, spoke with disbelief.
As they spoke, Gray suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd.
The moment he saw that face, Gray's heart felt as if struck by lightning.
His very soul trembled.
"Ur?!"
You must know that the people manifested by Historia of the Dead possess all the memories and strength they had in life.
Hearing Gray's words, the manifested Ur over there also turned to look at Gray, then showed a surprised expression.
"Gray?!"
"You've grown so big!"
Hearing Ur's familiar voice, Gray could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. Tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes.
Ur was not just Gray's teacher.
She was more like a mother to him.
He had always hoped to see Ur again.
Now that Ur appeared before him, how could he suppress that feeling in his heart?!
"Ur, are you... alive?"
After confirming the person before him was Ur, Gray asked.
"No, I should be dead."
Ur looked at her own palms and said.
"Then why...?"
"This is my magic."
Before Ur could answer, Kenichi reminded Gray.
He had originally just wanted to use Historia of the Dead to manifest some people to deal with the Thunder Palaces.
But he never expected to manifest Ur, Jellal, and the others.
'This is going to be troublesome!'
"Your magic?"
"Did you revive Ur?"
Gray looked at Ur before him, then turned to Kenichi, his face full of confusion.
"Revival?"
"Huh?!"
Hearing this exchange between Gray and Kenichi, Lucy and the others all looked at Kenichi as if seeing some kind of monster.
"You can even use revival magic?"
Lucy widened her eyes and looked at Kenichi as she asked.
"They haven't been revived. They just possess their memories from when they were alive."
Hearing Kenichi's words, Lucy and the others couldn't help but swallow: "Even if it's not revival magic, it still seems incredibly powerful!"
And Gray also looked at the manifested Ur with unwillingness to part.
But remembering that the Ur before him wasn't the real Ur, he strenuously shook his head, trying to drive away that fantasy from his heart.
At the same time, Elfman over there looked at Kenichi with a dazed gaze: "Maybe Lisanna could also..."
