Chapter 30

Continuation of the Dream is the thirtieth chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
The battle between Lyon and Gray starts. Lyon attacks using his Ice Make, which is Dynamic, not Static, like Gray’s. This apparently gives him an advantage, since he is able to remotely control them. Gray scolds him for this, because as Ur taught, Dynamic, one-handed Creation magic is not stable. Lyon continuously boasts, and debilitates Gray with fast attacks. He then discloses that his dream was to defeat Ur, and he will do so by killing Deliora, the one that killed Ur. Gray responds that this is impossible, but Lyon, angered, attacks and reminds him that those were his and Ur’s words, said to him before he left to battle Deliora. Lyon also states that it was because Gray affronted Deliora that Ur died. With this in mind, he attacks Gray, shooting to kill.

Gray is defeated. Later, Natsu finds him almost beaten to death. He climbed the mountain because he didn’t know where the village was, and found no one at the top, except from Gray. Gray is visibly debilitated and faints in Natsu’s arms. He puts him over his ice and leaves in search of Lucy. Gray is reminded of the moment when Ur prohibited him from battling Deliora, and remembers also that the exact kind of attitude is what he gave Natsu before they left for the S-class request. He understands where she came from, and apologizes to Natsu for doing the same thing to him. He doesn’t feel worthy, and begins to cry, but Natsu with his fiery attitude orders him to stop, because they are from Fairy Tail, a guild that doesn’t know the meaning of stop, just that of walk forward. Meanwhile, Lucy and Happy have reached the village. They are informing the village of what they found out, and they devise a plan.
