Silver reveals he is not Deliora, but rather the corpse of Gray's father, reanimated by Keyes's necromancy curse and driven by vengeance against Zeref's demons. He requests Gray to kill him, but Gray cannot bring himself to do so, despite the atrocities Silver has committed. As the two embrace, Silver telepathically contacts Juvia and instructs her to destroy Keyes and stop him from activating the Face bombs using Crawford's corpse. Juvia hesitates to do so, however, realizing that she would be separating Gray from his father forever. As Keyes taunts Juvia, she enters his body in the form of water and reluctantly destroys him from within. Before fading away, Silver bestows his Demon Slayer magic onto Gray, who promises to destroy E.N.D. as per Silver's request.
