For the next few days, Joel did this daily training every day.
He clearly feels his fitness has improved.
Moreover, when meditating every day, the upper limit of mana in the body is constantly increasing.
On this day, Joel continued training.
But shortly after running down the snow mountain, Joel stopped.
Because in front of him, a child fell to the ground.
When he saw the other party's short black hair and somewhat familiar face, Joel became more familiar with him.
Isn't that... Gray?!
Shortly after Joel found Gray, Ur followed him.
When she saw such a child lying in the snow, Ur rushed.
Ur helped Gray get up and whispered, "kid, wake up."
When she saw that Gray was unresponsive, Ur placed her hand on his chest, and when she noticed a heartbeat, she immediately raised it.
"Today's training has been temporarily suspended, go home first."
Ur said to Joel and Lyon who had just arrived.
Then she ran quickly with Gray In the direction of the house.
Joel didn't have any comments of course, but he was a bit emotional. He did not expect that the second protagonist in the world would appear before him so quickly.
...
Ur returned home, hurriedly took out a quilt to wrap Gray, then she put him in a warm room.
It took about half an hour before Gray slowly woke up.
"Huh, where is this?"
Gray, who had just woken up, was still confused.
"kid, are you okay?"
Ur asked gently.
Gray looked at Ur, Joel and Lyon beside him, turned his head slightly, and said in a strangled voice, "I…nothing!"
The corners of Joel's mouth twitched slightly.
it's clear from the way you look that something's up, okay!
Seeing Gray's appearance, Ur naturally saw that something was wrong, and she said in a soft tone: "Did you have a conflict with your parents?"
Hearing the parents' words, Gray trembled, and a terrifying image immediately appeared in his mind.
In a city covered in flames, countless people were running away, and then they were trampled to death by a 100-meter-tall black monster!
Remembering that scene, Gray began to shed tears: "The city was destroyed by a huge demon. Everyone was killed. Father..."
After saying that, Gray was no longer able to speak, but was crying and looked extremely helpless.
Joel's face changed slightly. If the devil was in Gray's mouth, it must be Deliora!
Deliora is one of the demons in the Book of Zeref. Not only is he powerful, he's also immortal, capable of destroying an entire city in less than a day.
He is an immortal evil demon!
According to the development of the original work, after Gray becomes Ur's student and learns the magic of ice make from her, he will do his best to challenge Deliora.
In order to protect Gray, Ur will use taboo-level absolute freezing magic, and at the cost of life, she will freeze Deliora permanently.
Thinking of this, Joel looked at Gray and became a little uncomfortable.
Even though it had only been a few days, Ur's meticulous care really made Joel feel warm.
Because she truly treats him like her family
Anyway, he would never allow this scene to happen!
Ur frowned when she heard Gray's words.
When she went to the city to buy daily necessities some time ago, she received a message.
In the far north, a terrifying demon appeared, destroying countless small villages and many cities.
Although the council sent a mage to deal with this demon, but he was unable to solve that demon.
Because this demon is the undead demon in the book of Zeref, Deriora!
For Deriora, even Ur, she found it very difficult.
Ur gently pressed Gray's forehead and she sighed, "You can rest here first."
Later, Ur motioned for Joel and Lyon to leave the room.
The three of them left the room and came to the living room. Ur looked at Joel and Lyon with a slight worried expression in her eyes and said, "You should follow me during this time and not run, do you two understand?"
Joel and Lyon nodded.
As if they knew Ur was worried about them meeting Deriora.
With their current strength, once they faced that undead demon, there was almost no way they would survive!
"Okay, nothing will happen then, you can continue today's training, but don't run far, just run around our snow-covered mountain."
Ur looked out the window and she said.
Lyon curled his lips, obviously a little sad because of the continuing training, but Joel walked right out the door.
Obviously, Joel went to complete today's training.
