The icy blade gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated in Gray’s hand.

Drip...

That was the sound of tears sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ice surface.

"That’s because you’re human too..." Silver opened his eyes.

And embraced Gray, who was standing in front of him.

Cold!

This was Gray’s first feeling, the dead couldn’t have the warmth of the living.

However, the setting sun seemed to make up for this.

And for Silver... he had longed for this hug for a very, very long time...

"Anyway, my body can’t hold on for much longer, let me savor it for a bit."

Silver murmured softly.

"You’ve become a real man, Gray, you’re the pride of our couple!"

Although Gray was now howling like a child, it still couldn’t affect Silver’s pride in him!

————————

Juvia watched the Keyes in front of her warily, whose body was emitting black mist.

"A dead man... Gray-sama’s father?" She murmured.

"That’s right, it’s been a long time, but it was indeed me who awakened him," Keyes said, leaning on his staff.

And responded calmly.

Just as Juvia still wanted to ask something, Silver’s voice came into her mind: "Can you hear me, little girl?"

"Telepathy?" Juvia was slightly stunned.

"I’m Silver, Gray’s father, I believe Keyes should have told you about it just now."

Hearing these words, Juvia immediately didn’t know what to think.

Her cheeks instantly turned red.

Even her tone became intermittent and incoherent: "Th...this, does this count as meeting the parents? It’s so sudden... Father..."

"Hehe, you’re quite interesting, but..."

"There’s no time, I’ll just get to the main point, quickly find a way to beat that skeleton in front of you, that guy is considered relatively weak among the Nine Demon Gates."

"I believe you can do it."

"He’s a necromancer, and relies on his ability to control the former chairman’s corpse, planning to activate three thousand Face, as long as you beat him, then the former chairman won’t move anymore."

"In other words, you’ll be able to stop Face!"

Silver’s series of words constantly echoed in Juvia’s mind.

But Juvia hesitated somewhat: "But... if that’s the case, then you’ll also..."

Indeed, also being a corpse that was awakened by Keyes, once Keyes died, not only would the former chairman stop, even Silver at this moment would also perish along with him.

This was the reason Juvia couldn’t bring herself to attack Keyes.

"Even so, you have to make a move, for Gray! And also for your companions!"

Silver’s voice was so firm.

These words made Juvia fall into entanglement, but Silver’s voice had already completely disappeared from her mind.

Whoosh————!

A sudden black light wave attacked directly towards Juvia.

The sharp sound of piercing through the air made Juvia snap back to her senses, and immediately dodged to the side.

"It seems that Silver has really defected!" Keyes slowly spoke.

Juvia frowned slightly, the conversation just now was clearly private, how did this guy seem to know about it too?

"There’s no need to be surprised, as the person I awakened, I can sense them to a certain extent."

Keyes explained.

"Actually, I already knew that he wanted to betray Tartaros, that guy frantically increased his power, and even learned Ice Devil Slayer Magic, all of this was to get revenge on us."

"I actually already knew all of this."

After a pause, his tone even carried a trace of excitement: "But it doesn’t matter, it’s that anger and heart of revenge that allowed him to survive until now, what an interesting puppet."

Clenching her fists tightly, an anger that she had never had before appeared on Juvia’s face.

"You bastard..."

However, Keyes didn’t pay attention to Juvia’s anger.

Instead, he continued to speak: "Father and son, the killing between the dead and the living, this is the story that I wrote!"

Under extreme excitement, Keyes even opened his mouth, which had been sewn up with lines.

"This is the story written in order to create even more perfect dead people!"

"What exactly do you take humans for!!"

A grand water tornado began to gather in Juvia’s hands.

"Experimental tools, fun tools!" Keyes’s already opened mouth raised a humanized sinister smile.

"Humans... will definitely not let you have your way!" Along with the roar, the water flow gathered in Juvia’s hands shot out with a bang.

The water flow that was ejected under ultra-high pressure had a cutting ability that surpassed steel.

Even if Keyes summoned countless skulls that were deeply buried underground and built up layers of defense, he still couldn’t block the water blade that possessed ultra-high sharpness.

But Keyes didn’t have any panicked emotions.

"You want to eliminate me?" He asked this question.

"If I, as the master, disappear from this world, then Silver will also disappear along with me."

Saying this, he even spread his arms, as if he was about to welcome death.

The water blade reached Keyes’s face, and then completely disappeared because it lost its magic power supply.

"Hehe..." As if everything was under his control, Keyes revealed the smile of a victor.

His staff tapped on the ground, and countless skulls seemed to respond to Keyes’s summons.

Breaking out of the ground, surrounding Juvia, and tightly imprisoning her within.

And Keyes’s body also gradually turned into a mass of black mist at the same time.

Floating before Juvia.

His scarlet eyes stared intently at Juvia, and the low murmurs of demons were constantly ringing out.

"What’s wrong? You just have to make a move, and eliminate the spirit of that young man’s father."

"You just have to sever the bond of kinship between them father and son!"

The strength of Juvia’s struggle gradually became weak.

Under the bewitchment of the demon, her mental defenses were being gradually broken down little by little.

She was very afraid of making that kind of decision, making the decision to personally kill Gray’s father...

"I can’t do it..." Her voice even trembled somewhat.

Keyes smiled, even the most powerful humans, as long as their weaknesses were grasped, they would be as weak as sheep.

And he had firmly grasped the weakness of the person in front of him.

Looking at the person in front of him, he didn’t hesitate to mock her: "Humans are so foolish, I understand humans too well, always letting emotions hinder reason!"

He spread his arms, and the surging black mist gradually engulfed Juvia.

"So-called emotions are just things that you foolish humans use to bind yourselves."

"And this! Will also become the most fatal weapon to bury you!"
