Deliora is said to be one of the demons created by Zeref, the 'Black Mage'.
It was an immortal calamity demon that had done evil everywhere a long time ago, causing all lives to be destroyed. It could destroy an entire huge city in less than a day. It had also destroyed the city where Gray's home was located, indirectly killing Gray's parents.
There is no doubt that Deliora is extremely powerful. Even the Ice Mage Uru, whose strength is no less than that of the 'Ten Holy Mage's', once had one of his legs broken by it.
Later, Deliora was sealed by Uru with the 'Absolute Ice', and while being frozen, his life was gradually consumed by the Absolute Ice, so that to this day, even though it is said that he is Senior Brother Gray, The 'Absolute Freeze' was released under the operation of the bad guy, but the body also began to break apart, and was finally shattered to pieces by a very disappointed little girl with a heavy 'Sparkling Spear'.
Thus, the so-called S-class mission on the cursed island of Karna was finally completed inexplicably.
'it's over! '
'The extremely difficult S-class mission was completed by our Natsu team! '
'Great! '
'Happy, we're going to be rich soon! '
'Uh-huh! '
'Happy wants to buy a lot of fish, and he wants to live in a hut full of fish! '
Even though they had already reached the village, Natsu and a certain stupid cat harpy were still shouting excitedly there, as if they had destroyed the demon Deliora?
But no matter what, the S-class mission of saving Karna Island has been basically completed. That is an undoubted fact! Now, when Deliora and those who tried to resurrect it have been defeated, when the ritual of collecting moonlight is finally over, and when they return to the village of the villagers, all they have to do is how to get there. The little thing that brought the villagers back to normal after being exposed to the curse.
"Really..."
"I thought it was going to be a dangerous battle in the end, but in the end, there was only one body left of the demon, which was shattered by Annie in just one blow..."
"I originally wanted her to use her whims to seal and suppress the demon, but how could I have imagined that she would be killed directly?"
"Hey~!"
"But this is fine!"
"The only problem left is the curse..."
"But, Erza, are you sure you can really break the moon?"
Look at the two heartless guys just celebrating on the sidelines, look at the Gray guy sitting sickly and resting in the distance, and then look at the guy talking to the village chief and wearing a golden gun in a serious manner. With the "Giant's Armor" that increases the attack power of investment weapons, and Erza holding the "Evil-Breaking Spear" that can dispel darkness, Lucy didn't know what to say.
Erza came at the last moment, following Gray's footsteps, with the purpose of chasing them back!
But it is useless to talk about that kind of thing now. Anyway, Lucy will never admit that the S-level mission was stolen by them. They are just cooperating with some little guy to complete the mission, so even if Ai Lusa couldn't find anything wrong with them violating the guild rules!
Although the other party must have guessed something, and the look in her and Natsu's eyes was very scary, anyway, the most difficult part of the task has been completed, and the remaining ones are just minor problems. She I don't care so much.
"Really..."
"Breaking the moon or something, I'm afraid even Erza can't do that kind of thing, right?"
No one can break the moon, not even Erza wearing the "Giant Armor" and holding the "Evil-Breaking Spear" that can dispel darkness can really throw anything onto the moon!
Moreover, even if it is thrown up, it is useless. How powerful can that little spear be? Being able to break through a hill is already the limit. And the moon, in Lucy's opinion, is at least as powerful as any. Hundreds of millions of hills combined are so big!
So, now she is thinking about how to smooth things over after she makes a fool of herself later.
or……
How on earth should they think of other ways to help the villagers lift the curse?
After all, the S-level mission was clearly written on it. They came here just to help the villagers lift the curse. If they couldn't complete it, then they would never get the huge sum of 7 million J. remuneration!
Anyway, no matter what they said, it was useless. The village chief was extremely stubborn. Lucy didn't think so at all. After seeing them defeat the guys who were plotting in the Temple of the Moon and Deliora, Then they will think that they have completed the task and give them money honestly.
"What do you think, Annie?"
Therefore, under the entanglement, she looked at the little girl beside her who had always been lazy, but still played a decisive role at the critical moment.
"Well……"
(?~?)
"Erza will definitely not be able to break the moon, but other things can be!"
(????-)?
Annie had actually seen some of the problems a long time ago, but she didn't want to explain it. Anyway, the answer to the mystery would be revealed later, so let Erza show off! Besides, those things were a little troublesome, and she didn't know how to explain them clearly. But now that Erza was there to help, she was happy to be lazy, wasn't she?
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"??"
"Something else?"
"Well……"
"Annie, do you know something?"
"Or..."
"You already knew the truth about the curse on those villagers?!"
Looking at Erza's abnormal behavior not far away and the solemn and solemn assurance that Erza made to the villagers, and then thinking about some of the words that a hateful little guy said last night, Lucy couldn't help but frown. I frowned, feeling that I seemed to have grasped some key point, but for a while I couldn't figure it out.
"I won't tell you!"
o(′^`)o
"Anyway, you'll understand later!"
(^_?)☆
Anne still didn't tell the truth, and just continued to play riddles with the other party.
"!!"
"Damn it! You annoying little guy..."
Looking at the other party's performance, Lucy became more and more certain that the S-class fairy wizard in front of her, this damn little thing, must be like Erza not far away, knowing or seeing more than them. Something!
"snort!"
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I want to see what tricks you can come up with?"
Feeling a little frustrated, Lucy felt that there was indeed a certain gap between herself and an S-class magician like Little Annie, but she didn't show it. She just huffed and folded her arms, waiting for Elu in the distance. Sarah solved the mystery.
Anyway, she would never believe that the other party could really break the moon. She would never believe anything like that!
"!!"
"Ann, Annie..."
"What did Erza just say? She said...she wanted to work with Natsu to break the moon? Is she really not kidding?"
"And look!"
"The expressions of those two people don't seem like they are joking?"
Listening to Erza's assurance in the distance, hearing the other party's serious request for Natsu's cooperation, and actually getting a positive response from that heartless guy, Lucy couldn't stand up anymore, and couldn't help but turn her head and whispered. She secretly asked these two questions to a little guy next to her who seemed to know something.
"You must be serious, right?"
(*^▽^*)
"The moon may not really break, but other things can really break!"
???(?)????
Annie didn't say anything clearly, she just looked at Erza, who was wearing a golden, cute-looking "Giant Armor" and holding an "Evil-Breaking Spear" that could dispel darkness, and Natsu's "Fire Frog". Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, he walked towards the tallest watchtower at the village wall.
Obviously, those two people really seemed to be planning to shoot the moon from the highest place?
"really……"
"You and Erza must know something!"
"hateful……"
"Is this the difference between ordinary magicians and S-class magicians?"
Seeing that little Annie still didn't want to say anything, Lucy started to get a little angry, so she stood aside angrily with her arms folded, intending to see what tricks Erza could come up with.
"Maybe?"
(*?′?`?)
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
(However, Tibbers doesn’t think so. He thinks that the difference is not caused by the strength between S-class magicians and ordinary magicians, but between people and brains. difference?)
At this time, Erza's performance begins!
"!!"
"here we go!"
'Oh! '
'Wow! '
'! ! '
'That is……'
'awesome! '
'Incredible...'
'It seems like it's still far away from the moon? '
The "Evil-Destroying Spear" brought flames and smoke directly through the sky at a super high speed and flew away, but it still flew higher and farther...
However, anyone with a discerning eye seems to be able to see that it seems to be far away from where the moon is, and the "Evil-Destroying Spear" that is emitting flames and smoke can no longer be seen after flying far away, but the moon is still hanging. Above the sky.
In comparison, it is indeed a bit impossible for such a small "Evil-Destroying Spear" that has turned into a small point of light to break the moon. Lucy herself doesn't want to believe it anyway.
But...
"Very good!"
o(?ω?)o
"It seems like I can barely get it!"
?(ˊ▽ˋ*)?
Click!
'! ! '
'That is……'
'B-broken? '
'Hit?' '
Soon, amid the exclamations of little Annie and everyone, and under the horrified gaze of Lucy, who was about to drop her jaw, that serious Erza actually smashed the moon to pieces?
"!!"
"No! The moon is not broken!"
"Is it the sky?!!"
Obviously, compared to the moon being shattered, Lucy was even more surprised to see the sky shattered!
Fortunately, her surprise didn't last long.
Soon, when the purple 'sky' opened a hole and revealed the moon with the same color as the rest of the world, looking at the broken sky, Lucy finally understood something vaguely.
"This is what happened!"
"Everyone!"
"You are not cursed, but there is something else!"
At this time, in the eyes of everyone with surprise and admiration, Erza, who was coming down from the destroyed watchtower with Natsu looking excited, finally told the truth of the matter bit by bit.
It turns out that what was shattered was not the moon or the sky, but something similar to magical exhaust gas produced due to the influence of the ritual 'Moon Drops'.
Due to their accumulation over the years, they have covered the sky above the island and formed a transparent magic crystal film, which is similar to a barrier. This causes the moon to look normal in other places, but in other places it looks normal. This island here looks very weird purple?
Moreover, those villagers were not cursed at all. They were really a group of demons, and they were a race of demons that could transform into humans at will!
However, because of the influence of the 'Moon Drop' exhaust gas, the purple barrier and the moonlight had some impact on their memories, causing them some mental barriers to understanding, that's why they felt that they were originally Were they humans, and that purple moonlight caused them to be cursed and mutated?
In fact, purple moonlight has no ability to cause biological mutation at all!
At the same time, in other words, the so-called curse does not exist at all, and those things are just the imagination of the villagers themselves?
And what a coincidence, that group of guys who went to the Temple of the Moon to carry out conspiracy just happened to meet and accidentally suffered a disaster, and were attracted by Natsu and Annie who were attracted by the S-class mission. Human force strikes!
And everything Erza explained is the final truth of the matter! !
In other words, the real name of this island should be - Devil's Island?
"hateful!"
"Annie! Did you know this already? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
After understanding everything, Lucy naturally looked at a certain little guy for the first time, because the other person seemed to have said more than once that there was no such thing as a curse?
"Because they don't have any curses themselves, and people really don't know how to remove their curses!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"The mission didn't say anything about breaking the upper lid...Besides, the purple lid is quite beautiful..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
"So, I don't know what to do, so I won't say anything!"
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
"!!"
"hateful!"
"Next time! If you find something, you must remember to tell us clearly in advance!!!"
Seeing the group of dancing demons flying into the sky to celebrate, Lucy was scared and happy, and she couldn't help but get angry and scolded a certain little guy who she thought was very irresponsible.
Because, if they had known this was the case, they could have completed the task before Erza came, and then left happily with the reward!
…..
In the end, although the mission was successfully completed, Erza stubbornly refused to accept the seven million J reward from the villagers, and instead accepted the key to the zodiac as a reward.
Because, she believed that although this S-level mission was led by the S-level mage Anne Hastur, it was an illegal task because it had not been reported and registered through formal guild channels. The mission violated the guild's decision, so that large sum of money was wasted!
"Really..."
"What do Erza think? That's a lot of money. Even if we share it equally, each person will get more than one million J..."
"If I have that money, I won't have to worry about money for at least two years..."
"It's good now, I don't know what I will do next month!"
