The following day, Zorn and his group spent another day on Demon Island to replenish their depleted Magic Power, while the others toured the entire Demon Island under the guidance of the village chief.
It's a good time to relax.
As night fell, the group gathered in the village's open space, looking up at the Purple Moon in the sky. Zorn had told them earlier that evening that destroying the moon would be easy.
This statement stunned everyone, who stood there in disbelief. Only Natsu cheered and jumped around excitedly, wanting to help Zorn, behaving completely differently from Gray and the others.
Gray couldn't bear to watch and tried to pretend he didn't know Natsu, but Ur was laughing heartily on the side.
"Let's start destroying the moon now! That way, the villagers can be restored to 'the way they were'."
Zorn stood in front, looking up at the purple moon, and said with conviction.
"Okay, sure."
"We're finally going to be back to normal!"
The village chief and villagers cheered, looked at each other happily, and cheered for Zorn together.
"No way, is it really possible?"
Lucy was still somewhat unwilling to believe it. Although Zorn was as strong as Monster, destroying the moon seemed almost impossible to avoid.
"Love~ I believe in Zorn!" Happy suddenly appeared on Lucy's shoulder and affirmed.
"By the way, Zorn, let's go to the Temple. It's higher up there," Natsu excitedly suggested to Zorn.
"No need, this is fine."
As soon as Zorn finished speaking, a Light Sword appeared in his hand and was held horizontally towards the Purple Moon in the sky.
"Using a sword? Is he trying to cleave the moon in two? Even with Zorn's Swordsmanship, that would be difficult."
Gray watched Zorn's stance from behind, somewhat surprised. He knew Zorn's Swordsmanship had already reached its peak, but splitting the moon? That was impossible.
"Damn, awesome! Zorn, are you trying to cleave the moon in two? Haha, I'm so excited!" Natsu was extremely excited watching from the side, shouting around Zorn without any doubt that Zorn could do it, and he really wanted to witness this moment happen.
Natsu, move aside, you might get hurt.
After Zorn finished speaking, he immediately began to gather power in his right hand. Magic Power began to ripple around his body, stirring up the dust on the ground in concentric circles that spread outwards.
The Light Sword in his hand shone brightly, and in an instant, Zorn swung his right hand towards the sky, unleashing a crescent-shaped slash that struck the moon in the sky.
The village chief and villagers watched with hope as the sword hurtled towards the moon, and Natsu watched with sparkling eyes.
As the slash struck the moon, it suddenly shattered into two halves with a "crack".
"What?! No way!"
Lucy, Gray, and Ultear all gasped in disbelief at what they were seeing.
As the cracks grew larger, it suddenly shattered and split open, revealing another perfectly intact moon.
That is...
"What's broken is the sky."
"What exactly is going on?"
Zorn sheathed his Light Sword and immediately explained to the group, "This island has long been shrouded in Evil Aura Membrane, caused by the waste gas produced by the Moon Drops. That's why the moon appears purple on Demon Island."
The villagers were filled with hope when they saw the light emanating from their bodies, but when the light faded and they found themselves back to their original demonic forms, they were at a loss.
"They still don't seem to have recovered."
"No, they've recovered. This is their original appearance. They have the ability to transform into human form, but their memories were affected by the Evil Aura Membrane." Zorn said as he walked up to a demon man, looked him straight in the eye, and asked, "Uncle, have your memories returned any better?"
"Well, now that you mention it, although my memory is still a bit hazy, it seems like there was such a thing!" The uncle scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"What?! No way!"
"Ah"
"Dad, how are you all?"
While Lucy and the others were still in shock, a demon uncle with a turban appeared in the sky and shouted anxiously to the village below.
"Bo, Bobo," the village chief murmured in surprise as his son, whom he had previously executed, reappeared before him. Tears welled in his eyes, and he finally shouted, "Bobo!" Suddenly, a pair of demonic wings sprouted from his back, and he rushed into his son's arms with great joy.
"Dad, you're finally back to normal! I was so worried about you." The devilish uncle hugged his father tightly, overjoyed.
"Oh, a banquet tonight, a devil's banquet, a celebration!"
"Oh, great!"
--Separator--
After a night of revelry, the next day was the time to say goodbye.
Amidst the cheers of the residents of Demon Island, and as Zorn's Magic Circle lit up, everyone returned to Magnolia Town.
"If you have nowhere else to go, you could consider joining Fairy Tail." Zorn looked at Ur, also wanting to try and see if he could recruit him into the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail.
Gray looked at Ur with hope upon hearing this, but Lyon did not. Lyon hoped that Ur would go with him, but he would still unconditionally agree with Ur's choice, so he remained silent.
Ur hesitated, then looked at Ultear was holding her hand, and noticed that Ultear's expression was a little off.
"What's wrong, Ultear?" Ur asked worriedly.
"I, I..."
Zorn knew the reason, but it wasn't something he could discuss here, so he suggested, "Why don't we talk about it at the Fairy Tail?"
"Good"
Back at the Fairy Tail, Zorn found that Laxus, Mirajane, and the others had already Fairy Tail. Mirajane was facing off against Erza again, discussing whose S-Class Mission they had completed. The two Lisannas were keeping Erza and Mirajane in check, preventing them from fighting.
Laxus was still sleeping on the sofa on the second floor. He only leaned out to greet Zorn when Zorn and his group entered the Fairy Tail.
"Yo"
"Laxus, is the Guild Master there?"
Zorn looked up and asked Laxus, who was greeting him.
"The old man went to a meeting, but he should be back soon."
"Alright... well..." Before Zorn could finish speaking, Natsu behind him excitedly shouted, "Laxus, you're back! Come down and have a match with me!"
"Oh, so confident, Natsu? Why don't you come up here, hahaha." Laxus propped his head up with one hand, watching Natsu roar with great interest, without making a move, remaining rooted to the spot, which made Natsu very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Alright, alright, Natsu, you did a great job on this mission. Let's divide the prize money among ourselves. Laxus, stop teasing Natsu." Zorn seized the opportunity to smooth things over.
The mission was completed successfully, which was in accordance with normal mission acceptance procedures. Zorn accepted the 7 million J reward for the mission without any qualms and distributed the reward fairly among everyone in accordance with the mission allocation principles.
Although Lucy is a rich heiress, this is the first time she has earned money from S-Class Mission, which makes her very happy. Moreover, as a way of thanking everyone, the village chief has also taken out the key to the Twelve Golden Zodiac Keys Sagittarius, which was naturally given to Lucy by Zorn.
Natsu and Happy also received their generous bonuses, which slightly lessened their earlier resentment.
Laxus's personality has improved significantly under Zorn's guidance. Without the Lisanna incident, he is no longer so extreme. However, he still can't help but tease Natsu when they are Natsu.
Seeing such a lively scene, Ur and his group were also drawn in by the atmosphere of Fairy Tail.
