"So, you're gonna stop me from prevent Deliora's resurrection? " Pyrus asked.
"Yes.. "Zalty said "for the sake of Lord Sub-Zero Emperor, I'll do it" Zalty answer
"You can't fool me... I know you're a lot stronger than Lyon, but why would you obey to him" Pyrus said.
"Oh... So you know it huh? " zalty said "you're right, I'm not gonna let that fool to release Deliora and kill it"
"Then what? " Pyrus asked.
"I'm going to keep Deliora for myself and use it to cause destruction anywhere" Zalty said "just imagine what Deliora will do and cause mayhem"
"Tsk.. You bastard! " Pyrus growled. He already had a enough seeing some fools using demon powers for their gain. Does they never learn that nothing good will happen, it will only lead to destruction.
"Enough talk.. " Zalty said "Die! " A huge rock from ceiling suddenly fall down. Pyrus see this coming, he clench his fist and punch the rock into pieces shocking Zalty a little bit. "How about this! " Zalty launch his crystal ball at amazing speed towards Pyrus. But he easily destroy it into pieces with a punch. Zalty was smiled as the repaired crystal ball appear behind Pyrus and launch at him.

"I can control time of an object. In other words, I can return their time before they been destroyed." Zalty told him.
"Control time?.. You gotta be kidding me" Pyrus complaints.
"The 'Time Arc' is a form of magic that had been erased from history" Zalty explained.
"Erased from history?.. Then it's a lost magic" Pyrus stated.
"Yep that's right..it's the same as your Dragon Slayer magic" Zalty said "I can move backwards time of any objects, Now watch this" Zalty said as the place begin to shaking.
"Wha-what's happening!? " Pyrus as asked. "Ahhhh!.. An earthquake!" Tommy yells. Little they know, that the temple are back to normal due of Zalty's magic. "Now, let's continue our fight! " Zalty said as crystal ball launched at Pyrus.

Lucy and Rayna is handling the sword wielder sentinel. Rayna is already blow it up for few times but its still generating. "Ugh... Just how much do we have to fight this things!?" Lucy growled using her whip to stop the sentinel's sword. "I dunno Lucy, we have to keep going fighting this guys." Rayna said besides her.
"But... If this keeps up. We will run out of power! " Lucy said. "Tell me... Didn't you know how to defeat someone who is making sand!?" Lucy asked her.
"Huh?... Making sand?.." Rayna muttered slowly to a deep thought "making sand?... The sand is made out of silicate right?..." She then stuck in a deep thoughts about what she learn at school

But the sentinel trying to walk where she was. "Come on, I've to succeed" Rayna use all her strength, heating up the sentinel. The light blinding all people in the area. When the light was clear, the sentinel is now turned into glass. The sentinel not moving anymore until it shattered in pieces and not regenerated again. Seeing her plan worked, Rayna couldn't help but to smile "I did it.. " Rayna then turned to Erza "Erza!.. Burned up the sentinel!" Rayna yelled.
"Mm.." Erza nodded "Requip! Flame Empress Armor!"
She then requip her Flame empress armor. This armor is predominantly dark red in color, but also has orange and black parts, with the orange parts being shaped like flames and the other parts being reminiscent of Dragon's limbs. It consists of the following parts: the breastplate, the gauntlets and the greaves. The breastplate lacks pauldrons, revealing Erza's shoulders, and extends down to cover her groin, revealing her legs and, in a way, being reminiscent of a one piece swimming suit, with an orange part covering her breasts and another one circling her waist like a belt. The black parts are mostly decorative, with the exception of the one covering her groin. The breastplate also possesses a pair of Dragon-like wings attached to it. The gauntlets sport prominent orange decorations, along with small claw-like protrusions on the hands. The greaves are shaped like Dragon's claws which possess orange-colored knee guards and black parts which extend up from the knees to the upper part of the thighs. In addition to all of this, while donning this outfit, Erza's hair is tied into a pair of high, long pigtails by clips, resembling Dragon's horns in some way.
Erza then used her flame sword to produce hot flame then she use it to burn Down the sentinel. The sentinel is also turned into glass making Tasha's eyes widened. "No...impossible! How do you do that!? " Tasha asked angrily gritted her teeth.
"Even thought it made from magic. .It's still follow the law of pyhsic!" Rayna answer her "Sand is made out of silicate... When silicate is heated to a certain degree.. It will turned into glass "
"What!?.. No way" Tasha muttered. "Yes way! " Erza shouted, she and Rayna burned the last sentinel, making it turns into glass. Tasha then step back, seeing her sentinel defeated by the Fairy tail mages..
"Now wake up from the abyss of revenge and live a new brighter life! " Rayna shouted running towards Tasha, Rayna palm strike Tasha dead in the stomach sending her to breaking a tree at few meters while leaving a strong shock wave.
The battle now is over for the three but there is still battles ahead.

"And it was Fairy Tail I found. And there is also lots of strong wizards in there, it's hard to believe" Gray said to Lyon. "Now I'm think about it, maybe it was the moon drip that Gramps wants to tell me... And who ever thought that the one who kill Ul is her first student. You're so disappointing!" Gray said angrily at Lyon.
"You can talk all you want, I already living in my on way" Lyon said without caring what Gray just told him. "How can a student go beyond his deceased master?... Try to think!" Lyon pointing his right hand at Gray, ice magic glowing at his hand then create lions head in his hand "Deliora! If I able to defeat things that my teacher cannot defeat. That way I could surpass her!" Lyon attack Gray with his lion Head gauntlet.
