The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 117 The Truth

After Lucy's introduction, Charles finally figured out what happened.

After Lucy and Natsu landed on the island, they learned the details of the mission from the village chief.

According to the village chief, there has been something wrong with the moon since three years ago. At night, villagers who shine in the moonlight will turn into demons.

For this reason, the village chief even personally killed his son who "turned his heart into a demon". So the village chief asked Natsu and Lucy to destroy the moon.

Natsu was very interested in this, but fortunately Lucy was clear-headed.

It is impossible to even think about destroying the moon, and there must be another reason for the curse on the island.

So Lucy took Natsu to find the true source of the curse, and what she finally found was the abandoned temple on the island.

At the bottom of the temple, the two found Deliora frozen in ice. But they were also discovered by Leon's group at the same time, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.

But Natsu failed to live up to expectations and was frozen in the ice by Leon. Fortunately, Happy and Lucy escaped with him.

The only inhabited place on the island was this village, so Leon sent his men to raze the entire village.

As for why Natsu's flames couldn't melt Leon's ice, it can only be said that Natsu didn't have much motivation for this mission!

Natsu rarely gets serious when it doesn't involve his companions and Fairy Tail.

But Charles believes that if we meet again now, the situation will be different.

Leon's attack on the villagers had already touched Natsu's bottom line, and now Natsu's flames were completely different.

Ciel pondered for a moment and said to Natsu and Lucy: "Gray came with me. I will tell you what I know when he arrives."

Natsu jumped up and said, "What, that bastard with droopy eyes is here too?!"

"Who are you talking about? You idiot!"

Maybe Natsu and Gray do have a bad bond. As soon as Natsu finished speaking, Gray's voice came from outside the door.

Sure enough, Gray opened the door and walked in.

Ciel held down Natsu, who was shaking his fist at Gray, and said to Gray: "Just in time you come here, I will tell you everything."

Charlotte paused and said: "First of all, the frozen monster that Natsu and Lucy found in the Temple of the Moon is named Deliora, and it belongs to the same Book of Zeref as Larabai.

demon."

Gray, who had just sat down, jumped up and said loudly: "Deliora? How is it possible? It won't be here, because...!"

Ciel said: "Because it was sealed in the Northern Continent ten years ago! And for it to appear here, someone must have transported him here."

Gray suppressed his anger and said, "Who did this? Doesn't he know that Deliora is the embodiment of disaster?"

Ciel replied: "It's the person named Zero Emperor that Natsu has met, and his real name is Leon!"

Gray was stunned and didn't react at all for a moment.

Ciel continued: "And they brought Deliora here in order to remove Deliora's seal with the ancient magic Moon Drop left in the Temple of the Moon.

Although Deliora is sealed with absolute ice that cannot be broken, the Moon Drops have the power to lift all magic. And it is the exhaust gas caused by the operation of the Moon Drops that caused the curse on the island."

Gray lowered his head and said, "Why did Leon do this? Why?"

Charles said with emotion: "What else can a disciple who always wants to surpass his deceased master do? Of course, it is to defeat the opponent that the master has not been able to defeat!"

A painful expression appeared on Gray's face and he said: "But Uru didn't die, she just turned into the ice that sealed Deliora.

If Leon wants to melt the ice, he is killing Uru!"

Natsu was confused and said: "What on earth are you talking about? Who are those Leon and Uru?"

Seeing that Gray was not in the mood to answer, Charles said, "Leon is a senior who was taught by the same master as Gray, and Uru was the master who taught them magic. It was also Uru who sacrificed his life to use the absolute ice seal.

Deliora."

Natsu didn't speak anymore. Although the two of them had been noisy, as a companion, he could understand Gray's pain.

Gray looked at Ciel, smiled bitterly and said, "Is this why you said this mission has something to do with me?"

Charles sighed and said: "Yes, you have to face your own shadow by yourself. And Leon's mistakes can only be corrected by your junior brother."

In Ciel's view, Leon's mistake was not that he intended to lift Deliora's seal, but that he took the wrong path.

It's true that you want to surpass the master you have always admired, but being desperate will turn into paranoia.

Leon didn't know that Deliora had lost his life in the ten-year freeze, so he untied the absolute ice without considering what kind of damage the resurrected Deliora would cause.

Even if he was confident that he could defeat Deliora, ordering the destruction of the village was completely out of his mind!

Gray showed a firm expression and nodded: "Yes, this matter must be ended by me! Even if it costs my life, because this is my responsibility!"

Natsu kicked Gray on the waist, sending him flying away. Gray knocked over the desk and chair as he flew out, and landed directly against the wall.

"Damn it! Natsu, what are you going to do, you bastard? I'm not in the mood to fight with you right now!" Gray touched the big bump on his head and stood up.

But what Gray saw when he raised his head was Natsu's extremely serious face.

"Are you out of your mind? How could you say such stupid things? That guy is my prey, how could you just snatch him away?"

Gray pulled Natsu's scarf and said loudly: "Didn't I say that it was my responsibility? It was because of me, Uru, that I used Absolute Ice. I must make an end."

Lucy hurriedly said: "You two, don't fight at this time!"

But Ciel grabbed Lucy and said, "Leave it to Natsu!"

Happy spread his paws and said, "Lucy just loves to worry!"

Lucy pointed at Happy and said, "Shut up, traitor!"

But Lucy didn't say anything else. Although Natsu was usually unreliable, he was always reliable when his companions were in trouble.

Natsu looked at Gray and said, "What's the end? You were just escaping!"

Gray let go of Natsu's hand and fell silent.

Natsu straightened his messed up scarf and said, "Are you afraid of losing to that guy named Leon? If you don't have the confidence to defeat that guy, then let me fight that guy away."

"Who will lose! I can win easily and show you!" Gray's depression disappeared and he regained his strength in an instant.

Natsu said provocatively: "Who knows? It would be very embarrassing if you lose! It's not your face that you lose."

"I know!" Gray replied.

"It's Fairy Tail's honor!"

The two said at the same time, with equally firm expressions.

Ciel laughed. As expected, the bond between Natsu and Gray was very deep. Although Natsu didn't say anything to persuade him, it cheered up Gray.

In this way, Gray with Fairy Tail, the strongest buff, will never lose to Leon.
