After some conversation, everyone finally learned about the village's situation.
The island's villagers have all been demonized and cursed. The mission is to help them break the curse, and the only guide is the magic of the moon.
The moon appears purple when viewed from the island!
The village chief wept, saying, "It's a pity my son has gone mad from illness and hasn't left any children to carry on the family line..."
Natsu looked at the group, who had been completely demonized, and said confidently, "Leave it to us. We'll make sure you're all back to normal."
Eileen shook her head and said, "Don't make promises you can't keep."
These people don't seem to be human at all.
Please help me!
The villagers were extremely grateful, and then arranged accommodations for everyone.
the next day...
The group walked through the forest, searching for any possible targets.
"Hey, Acnologia, where are you taking us?"
"The Temple of the Moon!"
"And what is that?"
"The location of Deliola, our target."
"As for those villagers, they don't need to be saved. They are demons anyway, but they're not much of a threat."
Everyone was shocked: "Was he a demon all along?"
Acnologia nodded: "Yes, we'll explain it to them clearly, and we'll get our payment easily."
Soon, the group arrived at an abandoned megalithic building, which was decorated with various moon patterns.
Lucy hugged Eileen, trembling: "It feels so creepy!"
Gray asked coldly, "Where is Deliora?"
"under!"
Acunorokia took a light step, and the ground collapsed instantly. Everyone screamed in panic and fell down.
Except for Eileen, who was safely landed in Acnologia's arms, everyone else was thrown flat on their backs.
Led by Acnologia, the group soon came to a huge block of ice, inside which was sealed the demon Deliora.
"Really! Why is he here?"
Gray and Urlu tensed instantly, their killing intent erupting. This demon had killed their family; he was absolutely unforgivable.
Soon, three people appeared behind the ice block: a dog-headed man, a blue-haired man, and a red-haired girl.
"It seems there are outsiders on the island. We'll deal with them as soon as possible."
"To avoid causing trouble for Lord Zero, I grant the intruder eternal slumber, which is—love~"
Eileen, hiding to the side, looked speechless: "Where did this weirdo come from?"
Natsu yelled and charged out: "Love and hate, that's all meaningless, let her taste my Fire Fist!"
Lucy reached out and called out, "Be more careful!"
Gray ran out after him, shouting, "Don't be afraid! There are so many of us, we can take on one of you even if it's two against one!"
No matter who it is, he will not let anyone who dares to do anything to Deliora go easily.
Ulu said solemnly, "We absolutely cannot let them release Deliora. That demon is extremely powerful and far beyond our ability to fight."
She almost died trying to seal Deliora back then. If the demon is resurrected, who has the ability to seal it?
Acnologia suddenly said, "Perhaps Deliora is dead."
Ulu shook her head: "The demons of the Book of Zeref won't die so easily."
"You are too afraid of Zeref. He is not some kind of supernatural being."
"Perhaps!"
Acnologia felt that people of this era regarded Zeref as a demon god who would destroy the world. How could that guy have such a great reputation?
There is still a large group of believers who are causing chaos everywhere in order to resurrect him, one of whom is Geralt, who possesses the power of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Who are you?
Blue Hair was shocked. This basement was so secluded, how did these people find it?
A man wearing a bull-horned mask appeared behind him, frowning slightly upon seeing Gray: "What are you doing here?"
Sherry Brandy exclaimed in delight, "Lord Zero!"
Gray and Ulu were startled; that voice...
"Hahaha! Minotaur, let me defeat you!"
Natsu excitedly charged forward, his fists blazing with intense heat.
Gray exclaimed in alarm, "Don't melt Deliora's ice!"
"Then I'll destroy Deliora along with him!"
He has never known what fear is; he just charges ahead without thinking.
"You think you can defeat Deliora?"
The armored Zero Emperor let out a cold laugh, waved his hand, and a huge ice pillar condensed, instantly sending Natsu flying.
This is Natsu's normal behavior; he won't get fired up without getting beaten up.
Zero Emperor looked at the three people beside him and said, "You go and eliminate the rest of the villagers. I'll handle things here!"
Gray blocked Natsu's path as he tried to continue fighting, shouting, "Stop, Lyon! Do you know what you're doing?"
Zero removed his mask, looked coldly at Gray, and said indifferently, "I didn't expect it to be you. Now, are you going to stop me?"
Teacher Ullu was killed by Gray. Although he wouldn't kill Gray, he would never forgive him easily.
Knowing the hatred in Leon's heart, Gray quickly explained, "Ulu is not dead!"
Leon roared in fury: "What nonsense are you spouting? If you dare mention Ulu's name again, I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"
An ice magic circle unfolded in front of him, unleashing countless icy blades that pierced and attacked.
"I will unseal Deliora and then destroy him! I have become stronger than Ullu!"
"You really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Gray snorted and decided to use his fists to wake him up. He cast Ice Shape magic, creating a huge ice shield to block the blade attack.
Because of the battle between the three, where cold air and flames intertwined, Ulu didn't go over, fearing she would destroy the doll's current body.
She waved her hand and shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"
Leon was shocked: "That voice is..."
"Ulu?"
He suddenly looked at the waving doll in the distance; he would never forget that voice!
Leon's voice trembled: "Is it really you?"
Feeling the chill dissipate, Wu Lu stepped in front of him and patted his head: "Of course it's me."
"Ulu! You're still alive? How could you survive using Absolute Freeze?"
Leon hugged the doll Ulu tightly, tears streaming down his face. He never thought he would see her again.
Sherry, Brandtie, and the other two blinked. They couldn't believe their eyes. The usually cold and powerful Zero Emperor was actually crying.
Wu Lu laughed and said, "That's a long story. Alright, come back with me, and I'll explain it to you slowly later."
Upon hearing this, Leon shoved Ulu away and said coldly, "Impossible! Even if you are resurrected, it cannot stop my determination to unseal Deliora. I will prove that I have surpassed you!"
Ulu felt a slight headache: "They're still so disobedient, just like when they were learning ice magic."
Gray stood in front of Ulu, shouting angrily, "Then I'll be the one to defeat you!"
From a distance, Lucy watched as Gray and Leon started fighting again and asked worriedly, "Are they alright?"
Acnologia said nonchalantly, "The more you fight, the better your relationship becomes. Haven't you already experienced that firsthand in the Fairy Tail guild?"
"Ulu isn't dead, and neither of them has the will to kill each other. Let them fight. A fight will do the trick."
Lucy nodded: "That's true!"
