The fairy of pride

The S-class quest: The Struggle of Escanor.

(No pov)

Escanor stood before the three enemy wizards his gaze unwavering. 

"We'll struggle with all our might? I think your brain is damaged. There are three of us and one of you!" Toby laughed. 

"Escanor no! You'll melt the ice!" Gray yelled. Escanor shrugged. 

"I'll just kill that one too," Escanor walked forward. Toby rushed forward his finger nail's elongating into claws.

"Take this!" Toby yelled swiping at Escanor. Escanor looked down as Toby landed. Toby smiled then turned around expecting to see Escanor paralyzed. But instead, he saw a massive hand slap him into the wall instantly knocking him out. Yuka growled a little and raised his hands. A blue light appeared before Yuka as Escanor punched down. Yuka smiled and Escanor raised an Eyebrow as Yuka didn't move. Then moving Fast Yuka used the blue magic to attack Escanor.

Escanor stood strong enduring the force of the blow. Then with brute strength alone he broke through the magical barrier and chucked Yuka to join Toby.

"Go Escanor!" Natsu cheered echoed by Happy. Walking over to the last member of the three Escanor looked down.

" I believe you can give me answers about this demon, And inform me of your reason for freeing it." Escanor deduced. Sherry looked ready to attack but after Escanor clenched his fist she decided otherwise.

" We are going to kill it," Yuka shouted standing up. 

"Kill it? You can't kill it!" Gray growled.

" Under whose orders," Escanor questioned turning to Yuka. Yuka hesitated not wanting to tell this idiot who was behind this. Escanor growled and walked forward. " I do not fancy repeating myself, however, I will only ask once more. Under whose orders!" 

"The cold emperor!" Toby squeaked shocked awake by the thundering of Escanor's footsteps.

" Take us to this cold emperor," Escanor ordered. Toby nodded leading the pack outside. 

"Escanor handled that so well," Happy grinned.

"I could have handled it as well," Natsu groaned suddenly bummed out by the lack of both fight and a chance to prove himself.

(Time skip)

Escanor had transformed back into his Night form before they managed to reach the top. This boosted the confidence of the three mages however they didn't dare act yet. As they approached the top of the mountain they noticed a man in Armor. Sherry rushed forward along with the other two.

"I'm sorry cold Emperor I have bad news. We had intruders but they forced us to take them to you," Sherry whispered. The man In armor didn't move.

"Did they break Deliora?" He questioned.

"No, But he should awaken later tonight or tomorrow," Sherry answered. The man in armor turned around to look at the group.

"I can't have anyone interfering with my plans," He stated coldly. Holding out a hand ice and fired at the group. Gray growled and summoned his own Ice to counter the other wizard's Ice.

"He's an Ice wizard as well?" Escanor gasped backing away to behind a rock.

"Lyon! How could you? Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Gray accused.

"Oh Gray it's been quite a while hasn't it?" Lyon asked.

"Why would you revive Deliora!" Gray questioned.

"To think that you were one of the wizards called to this Island to help those poor villagers. Did you come knowing you would find me? Or is this a mere coincidence? Not that it makes any difference to me," Lyon wondered.
