Seeing be alive even though I was being carried by Ultear calmed all of my guildmates down for a bit. And Erza asked
"Karna, why can't we detect your magic right now"
"well, taking down that demon took too much out of me, so I will be out of magic for the few days. Though my body is already recovering, and I can feel like I can walk at least slowly" I said while I got down from Ultear's back. Right now, I won't be able to run or do too much work, but I will be able to slightly walk and stand up straight at east.
I finally stood up after shaking a bit and I can feel the muscle pains all throughout my body. Man, it hurts.
And then when I looked towards the villagers, I saw Bobo going to speak with them. I motioned others to keep quiet and look at what was happening.
Bobo went towards the villagers. First they were surprised at the fact that the person they thought as dead was alive and when the village chief tried to hug him, he gently pushed him back.
"I'm sorry everyone, I have been lying to you all these centuries. But I think its time you saw the truth" he said while looking at the small group that has been his family all throughout the years
"Bobo, what do you mean" the village chief asked confused by what his son said
"its better to show you" he said, and he raised his hands, suddenly a large magic circle came to be from his hand.
I immediately used my mind palace to analyse the entire structure of the spell structure that was formed. And from my knowledge, I was not able to understand anything. The runes used in them are so ancient that the chances are even Mavis will have no idea about where to start. The spells of Nirvana might have been made with these runes as well.
By the way, the runes of magic and enchantment are entirely different things. A wizard will only be able to use runes of magic when it is attuned to their being, basically an accomplished wizard of water element can use runes of water, calmness, balance etc. Fire wizard can use heat, destruction, anger etc. As long as the rune has connection to the wizard's magic, with training the wizard can use that in tandem with magic. Either as a substitute for certain costs of using magic or to increase the power of the certain magic.
Whereas runes of enchantment are alphabets. Like every alphabet has a sound or a combination of sound, enchantment runes also are similar with combinations having infinite potential along with a lot of limitations that is imbued in it by the laws of the world. Master's saying of Magic being power that strays away from logic but origins from it can be clearly seen in the case of enchantments. If a skilled enchanter uses it, the effects are miraculous but at the same time, the price that it asks is equally greater.
Back to what was happening, Bobo released the mental magic that was holding back the memories of the villagers because of which, the centuries of information flowed into their heads at the same time.
The influx of information was painful so all of them started to scream, and my friends began to move towards them worried about what was happening but I held them back with my hand.
"Karna they are in pain" Lucy shouted in worry
"have patience and trust me, this is something that should happen" I said and everyone stood down though they were a bit worried
Then the villagers were able to get their bearings back and was able to see what their true self was and how much they had missed in their life. Bobo seemed to look like he was waiting for them to blame him and attack him but the expected did not happen.
The villagers began to bow towards him surprising him deeply
"why, it was because of me and my colleagues that you had to suffer throughout all these years, why are you like this?. Why are you all not angry at this?" he asked while shouting a bit at the end
The people rose up and then the village chief went towards him
"if you had wanted to remove the stains of your sins, you could have killed us. But you didn't. You made this decision to erase our memories do as to keep us safe right" the chief said with a kind smile.
Bobo became unable to handle their kindness and started crying out loud. The villagers including the children began to laugh and then began to console him.
My friends were confused at what was happening before them, so Ultear and I explained everything to them making them shocked at what they were hearing.
At that time Bobo came back from the villagers and stood in front of us
"can you please do this for us, the effects of the ritual had made us unable to reach the temple"
"don't worry, we will do it" I said and took everyone to the temple.
Inside the temple, I memorised all the ritual circles of moon drip. The curse had happened because of the incomplete magic of moon drip and later the Nirvits were able to create a better one which converted all the evil energy and put it on the temple instead of people nearby which within a few decades will get dissipated and return to nature naturally.
But the first activation which turned the villagers into demons were still active. To free them, we had to destroy the entire temple. The Nirvits did not do it because doing this would have killed them and they were trying to turn them back into human. But right now too much time had passed and it was better to put them in rest. So Natsu and the others began to destroy the temple while I rested outside watching them do it. After Natsu burned down the last block of the temple, a light started to shine in the place where the village was situated and after that Erza and Ultear confirmed that there were no life signs from the place of village after that light shined. Showing that the villagers finally passed on.
I saw Lucy hold up the key of Sagittarius, a gift given by the villagers. It seems like every time their memories were reset throughout the centuries, they had met one or the other descendent of the celestial wizards of the Heartfilia line. That's why Layla gave one of her keys to them seeing that her time as a celestial wizard had come to an end.
As we were contemplating these things suddenly a voice came from behind making the hair on my neck stand up.
"I came to see the power that erased numerous of my demons like last time. Never expected it to be you. I guess our fates are related seeing that you are with Natsu"
I turned around as the last person I expected to show up stood there. In a wizard robe which seemed to be made with the blackest of night with a single white sash around it.
Zeref Dragneel was in Galuna Island.
