Chapter 72 Mother and daughter reunite, misunderstanding cleared up
"Urutia?"
Uru was taken aback at first, then became extremely agitated, "Are you really sure that's her name?"
"Ultear, Ultear is my daughter who died long ago!!"
Upon hearing this, Lucy and her two companions were completely dumbfounded: Gray's master's daughter actually worked in the Council of Gods.
"That means he's our boss?" Lucy stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Given Erza's previous disgraceful act of being made a scapegoat, she naturally assumed that the members of the Council were basically no good.
"There's no mistake, she's now one of the nine members of the council," Chase said.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! Ultear is still alive..."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Uru burst into tears of joy, tears streaming down his face.
He awoke from absolute freeze, saw Gray and Lyon grow up, and heard that Ultear was still alive.
The series of events left this usually strong and brave mage at a loss, and his voice trembled noticeably.
"Wait, you just said Ultear is dead? But I did see her in the Council."
Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Chess couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is going on?"
"I... I don't know either, if this handsome young man is right..."
Uru wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, her gaze immediately sharpening. "Those bastards at the research institute deceived me!!"
Chase: I love hearing that name.
"graduate School?"
Under Chase's persistent questioning (guidance), Uru took a deep breath, composed himself, and recounted what happened back then.
Even at a very young age, Ultear displayed an incredibly powerful magical aura, but her small body could not withstand it.
To save Ultear's life, Ultear braved the snow to search for a solution and eventually found the Magic Development Institute, whereupon he reluctantly entrusted it to the renowned Director Brian.
After that, Uru would visit his daughter at the research institute every few days, but he was always refused, citing that the treatment was not yet successful and he should not be disturbed.
Finally, Brian cruelly pronounced Urudia's death sentence right before his eyes!
Despite his desperate pleas, Uru didn't even get to see his biological daughter one last time...
Of course, all of this was just a lie told by Brian because he saw Ultear's talent and wanted to possess it for himself.
"I'm going to see her, no matter where she is right now, I'm going to see her."
Uru looked up at Chess, his eyes filled with an extremely anxious plea.
Where to go? It's far away, yet right before our eyes.
Chase stood still without saying a word, glancing at the rocks not far away out of the corner of his eye, and muttering to himself: The atmosphere is already this tense, why aren't you coming out yet?
Just as he was pondering, there was a "click".
The sound of the mask falling to the ground suddenly rang out, echoing in the now eerily silent cave.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a woman with long, straight black hair, wearing a white belted casual dress, with a perfect figure and looking almost exactly like Uru, walking out from behind the pile of rocks.
Upon learning the whole truth, Ultear was already emotionally broken down, tears streaming down her face.
"Huh?! Two, two of Gray's masters?"
While Uru and his two disciples were in shock, Natsu, the headless one, was the first to exclaim.
His gaze swept over the two identical-looking individuals, his expression instantly turning serious. He rested his chin on his hand and began to analyze intently: "Truly worthy of being called a perverted master; he can even use magic like the 'Strange Thought Form' so skillfully!"
"...You mean the 'Thought Body'?"
Lucy was a little speechless. "And besides, can't you use your seriousness in the right place? That person doesn't look like a thought being at all!"
"You can even mistake this? Natsu, you're so stupid." Happy spread his hands and chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah, Happy, tell this idiot the truth." Lucy looked at Natsu with disdain.
"Listen up, Natsu, there's only one truth! It's Gray's master..."
Happy immediately straightened his back, put on a knowing look, and confidently declared, "Actually, we're twins!"
Upon hearing this, Lucy's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.
Honestly, why should I have any expectations of a cat's intelligence...
"I don't know why I'm here."
Lucy, having gotten back to her feet, pointed at Ultear, "But when she looked closely, it was clearly Ultear, the daughter Ultear had mentioned!!"
what? !
Natsu and Happy both showed the same look of shock, as if they had just realized something.
While the trio was bickering, Chase slowly walked over.
"Alright, let's not disturb their precious reunion."
He carried Natsu in one hand and Lucy in the other, with Happy tucked under his arm, and led them out of the cave.
As the faint sobbing faded into the distance, a cool sea breeze blew against my face.
As the moonlight streamed down, a breathtaking panorama unfolded before my eyes, revealing the entire island of Karuna bathed in the purple moonlight.
—They arrived at the top of the temple ruins.
Natsu and Happy were clearly still having a lot to say, and they sat on the ground whispering among themselves.
Lucy then went to Chase, who was standing on the edge of the top floor enjoying the breeze.
With her hands behind her back, she looked up at the night sky, mimicking Chess, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an unusual light.
That is the light called longing.
After a long period of contemplation, the blonde girl, seeing the Grey family reunited, finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.
"Chesco, can your magic really bring the dead back to life?"
Chase knew that she was thinking of her deceased mother, Leila.
"Theoretically, it's about melting Uru's body into water and restoring it to its original appearance, not a true resurrection."
He shook his head and said expressionlessly, "So what you're saying probably can't be achieved."
Although it was a claim to reduce the exposure of the dead resurrecting, what Chase said was actually true.
The activation of the resurrection of the dead is subject to two hard conditions: the time of death and the magical power of the resurrected being.
The longer the time, the stronger the resurrected one becomes, and correspondingly, the more magic power he needs to consume.
Simply reviving the "instant death" Uru almost completely depleted his magical power, leaving him feeling utterly exhausted.
Not to mention Layla, the Celestial Spirit Mage who has been dead for many years and still possesses the ability to open the Eclipse Gate!
"Is that so..."
Lucy lowered her head, her expression gloomy.
"But Lucy, if you want to experience what it feels like to have your body shattered and then reassembled, I can help you with that."
As he spoke, Chase clenched his fist and approached Lucy with a sinister look on his face. "Don't worry, it won't hurt much."
"Who would want to experience this hellish for no reason?!"
Lucy, being strong-willed, quickly let it go and resumed her fierce, sarcastic mode.
"Princess, I am willing to bear this pain for you." Baluge appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh, there really is!!"
Looking at Baloo's pretty face, which was filled with anticipation and longing, Lucy sighed repeatedly, rubbing her forehead. "You just want to have fun, don't you..."
Just then, footsteps came from the end of the stairs.
These were the four people from Uru who had already composed themselves.
Lucy looked up and what she saw struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her frozen in place.
