Chapter 38

Eternal Magic is the thirty-eigth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
While Natsu and Lyon are fighting, Gray and Lyon’s past are revealed. Gray wants Ur not to fight against Deliora, but she insists she will take her happiness back. Lyon then wakes up, and starts talking about his dream of defeating her. Ur cuts him short, and says that there are a lot of stronger wizards in the west. He then orders Ur not to lose, but impatient, charges after Deliora himself, and begins using the Iced Shell. Ur is terrified by the results, and freezes Lyon to prevent his actions. She then goes and does the same, to terrible consequences. She loses her body, but before turning to ice, tells Gray to tell Lyon that she is dead. She wants them to walk into their future, and for Lyon this would be impossible for as long as she is alive. She then disappears, turning into the ice that traps Deliora.

The following morning Lyon wakes up to a sobbing Gray and a frozen Deliora. Gray tells him about Ur’s death, and Lyon attacks him, stating that it’s his fault for Ur’s death. We return to the present day, in which Gray interrupts Natsu’s and Lyon’s fight. He orders Natsu to stand back and tells Lyon that he will not forgive him for hurting his friends, the villagers and melting the ice. Gray, then, initiates the Iced Shell.
