I don't know how long it took, but waves of low and neat chanting kept coming, waking up everyone who was sleeping soundly.
"What? what is that?"Lucy pointed to the ceiling above Deliora in surprise.
She saw a purple light shining down from the hole. The range of the light just covered Deliora's whole body. It looked like a piece of amethyst.
"Damn, someone is really up to something!"Gray said angrily
"Purple light? Isn't this the light of the moon? what is going on?"Habi looked at the purple light in front of him in surprise.
"Walk! Let's go outside and find a source of light!"Raphael called everyone to go outside the ruins to find the source.
Gray rushed out first.
When they walked outside the ruins, everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
They saw several people wearing robes and wearing moon tattoos on their heads. People with patterns gathered in a circle and chanted to the moon, and several magic arrays faintly emerged from the light beams illuminated by the moon.
"So they did it, but what did they want to do?" Lucy, who was hiding nearby, asked Raphael in a low voice.
"I don't understand either, but their purpose is very clear, that is, to shine the moonlight on Deliora." Raphael shook his head and said, after all, this language has been lost for a long time, and it is usually difficult to find ancient books.
"This is a spell in Belia language, which means Moon Drop!"Lyra appeared beside Lucy at some point and said solemnly
"oh? Lucy summoned something else!"Natsu, who fell asleep early in the morning, was completely unaware of Lila's existence.
"Boom!"
"Don't interrupt, keep listening!"Gray hit Natsu on the head with a bang, gesturing for Lila to continue speaking.
"These guys are planning to use the Moon Drop to remove Deliora's seal!" Lila said to everyone seriously.
"Impossible, the magic that sealed Deliora is absolutely frozen and cannot be melted!"Gray refuted Lila's words in disbelief.
"No, any magic has a corresponding magic to dispel it, and among them, the Moon Drop magic is the best." Lila shook her head,"Concentrating the magic of the moon in one place can dispel any magic!"
"How...how could it be?..."Gray couldn't believe it, but everything he saw made him believe it, which made him extremely angry,"Those guys have no idea how terrifying Deliora is!"
"It seems that the reason for the changes in those people in the village has been found!"Natsu clenched his fists and said,"This magic is too powerful, causing them in human form to be constantly devoured. Since this group of people wanted to unlock the demons, the villagers all turned into demons. It's really... unforgivable!"
Raphael heard Natsu's analysis and shook his head secretly. It was very organized, but basically wrong. The analysis was very good. Don't analyze it again next time.
"I'm going to knock them all away!" Natsu clenched his fists and rushed forward, but was stopped by Lucy's elbow.
"Wait a minute, someone is coming!"
A long-haired man wearing a blue robe and a horn mask walked over slowly, followed by Yuka and Thor.
"Alas, after searching all morning, I still couldn't find the intruder! Yuka shook his head and said
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zero Emperor, this is a sad thing. I found traces of the intruders during the day, but I don't know where they were hiding behind them. I couldn't find them out. It's really sad~" The man in front of Shirley frowned and confided to the man sadly.
"Intruder?..."The man known as Zero Emperor hummed, then raised his head and asked,"How is the progress of Deliora's resurrection?"
"This voice... no way?!" Gray heard the voice of Lingdi and looked at Lingdi in disbelief.
"Judging from the current progress, it will be either today or tomorrow."Shirley instantly changed from sadness to happiness, asking for credit to Emperor Ling like a little girl.
"It looks like it will be ready soon..."A smile appeared on Lingdi's lips
"This guy is so arrogant, he calls himself the Zero Emperor and wears such an ugly mask!"Natsu was whispering with Lucy, discussing the Zero Emperor's outfit for a long time.
Raphael looked at the two people in front of him and shook his head helplessly, Natsu, you have to pay attention to your childhood sweetheart Lisanna, she is your real CP! Sure enough, childhood sweethearts can't resist the one who comes from the sky?
At this time, Lisanna, who was discussing academic issues with Levi in the guild, suddenly sneezed. Levi asked with concern:"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Lisanna shook her head, indicating that she was fine, looked up at the moon outside the library, and prayed silently: Natsu... I hope you are okay.
...
"Now that it's almost done, at this juncture, I don't want anything to go wrong, now that you have found the intruder..."Lingdi walked up a small slope and looked in the direction of the village."There is only one village on the edge of this island that has people. They are likely to be there. Just in case, go and destroy that village for me!"
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Zero Emperor to be so cruel. He would kill everyone just because of a little uncertainty.
Natsu couldn't help it anymore. He jumped onto the broken fence of the ruins, spewed a fierce flame into the sky, and declared war on Zero Emperor and others:"The invader you are looking for is here! Come at us if you want!"
"This guy is so reckless! But it is time to jump out!"
Raphael shook his head and followed Natsu out.
"There's no other choice but to go for it!"Lucy gritted her teeth and showed her key, ready to fight.
"That crest... turns out to be from the Fairy Tail guild. It seems that the people in the village entrusted the magician to come."Shirley said clearly.
"So we can't leave that village here. Why are you still standing there? Go and destroy that village. I'm enough here!" Lingdi said to them.
"You bastard, stop your boring actions!"
Gray rushed forward with a quick step, and released ice magic with both hands to form a series of spikes that swept towards Zero Emperor.
Zero Emperor snorted coldly, stretched out one hand, and actually used the same ice magic to cancel out Gray's magic.
"That guy also uses...ice?!"Natsu said in surprise.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect that the magician entrusted by the village was you, Gray!"Lei Emperor said hello to Gray.
"Do you know what you are doing? Leo!"Gray gritted his teeth and looked at Emperor Ling.
"They...know each other?" Lucy's surprised expression was exactly the same as Habby's current surprised expression.
"You guys go and complete the mission!"Leo didn't answer Gray's question, but turned to urge the three of them.
"Hey, hey, hey, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I let them go?"
Raphael stood up, picking his nose, and blocked the way of the three people.
""What... when?" Leo was surprised, because the trio was originally behind him, but now he found that Raphael had stopped them from behind him.
"Leave it to me, I've wanted to compete with Master Titan for a long time!"A short old man wearing a mask appeared next to Leon, and then used magic. In an instant, the three people disappeared.
"Oh? You actually made them disappear? You used time magic, right? You briefly swapped the time when I was here with the time when I wasn't here, so they could take advantage of my absence and leave, right?"
Knowing the result, it's easy to reverse the process. This is the only skill a time traveler has.
"As expected of Lord Titan, he saw through my magic at a glance!"The short masked old man squinted his eyes and smiled, hiding the surprise in his eyes.
"Titan? The man who is said to have the invincible power of a Titan?"Leo looked at Raphael with an ugly expression.
"Lucy, Natsu and Happy, you go to the village now, this place is left to me and Gray!"Raphael ignored them and said directly to Natsu and Lucy.
Natsu and Lucy nodded, turned around and ran towards the village!
"Don't even think about leaving!"Leo wanted to release ice magic to stop them, but Gray instantly released several ice arrows, forcing him to turn back and defend.
After Gray's delay, Leo missed the opportunity to stop Natsu and Lucy, and could only Let them run back to the village
"Gray, I'll leave it to you. Can you do it? I think you must have a lot to say to him!"Raphael asked Gray.
"Yeah! Leave it to me, there are some things I want to ask clearly!"Gray stared at Leo angrily.
"So..."
Raphael grinned and said to the masked old man
"The second round begins!"
