Looking at the few people preparing to go to the village gathering place, Gray turned to Leon and said, "You should also find a union to join. With new companions and opponents, you will definitely find a new goal."
"Boring..." Leon lowered his head and whispered. Gray didn't say much after hearing this, and directly caught up with a few people, leaving Leon where he was.
Looking at the empty gathering place, everyone was a little curious, "Where are the people? Where have they gone?" Natsu looked around trying to find the villagers.
Suddenly, a demon villager ran over from outside and said loudly, "You are finally back. The village is... Anyway, please come with me first."
Following the villagers, a few people came to the location of the village. Looking at the unscathed village in front of them, Ed was a little confused, "This... I remember it seems to be the ruins yesterday?"
"Ah! Could it be that guy!" Natsu thought of the Time Magic user, "But he actually restored the village to its original state. Could it be that he has changed his mind? Forget it, it doesn't matter so much."
At this time, the same demonic village chief came over and said to several people, "Are you the ones who restored the village to its original state?"
Ed Before the others could speak, they heard the village chief continue to say, "I am very grateful to you, but when will you help us destroy the moon, your magisters!"
"Destroy this moon now." Erza looked up at the purple moon and said to Ed, "Are you going to do it or am I going to do it?"
Ed also looked up at the sky, thought for a while and then said directly, "Leave it to me, I just have an idea."
"What are you talking about?" Lucy was a little confused, "Destroying the moon or something... isn't it too outrageous?"
"Alas... you are still too young... Then let me explain to you. By the way, can you please gather all the villagers here?" Ed looked at Lucy's unbelievable look, sighed and said to the village chief.
Soon the villagers gathered together, looking at the various demons in front of them, and then thinking about the two they met before, Ed was a little hard to explain, but he still opened his mouth to explain.
"Based on what I have learned so far, you think the cause of the incident is that you have been cursed since the purple moon appeared, which started about 3 years ago, so Natsu you guys think that It was the impact caused by Deliora, but during the three years, Moon Drop was launched every day, but no one in the village went to investigate the ruins or came into contact with Leon?"
"That's because our village's ancestral precepts say we must never get close to that ruins... Okay, let me tell you straight, we can't get close to that ruins at all. We were obviously heading there, but when we came to our senses, we were at the entrance of the village..." the villager said with some disappointment.
"Then you can't be wrong." Ed thought for a moment, became more sure of his and Erza's judgment, and said directly, "Then let's start destroying the moon now."
"Is it true?" The villagers became excited when they heard this.
Ed looked up at the purple moon in the sky, and estimated the distance. "It seems that we still need to make an effort, but it seems that Sage Mode is not needed. Simple resonance is enough. Then... let's begin."
In an instant, huge magic power erupted from Ed, and then Monster Strength activated his right hand. A Kunai was thrown towards the moon with all its strength by Ed. With a ding, Kunai seemed to hit something in mid-air, "This is it!" Ed directly launched Flying Thunder God into the mid-air, and Resonance Mode's Monster Strength Fist hit the air heavily.
"What are Ed doing? What's the point of punching in the air... the sky is cracked!!" Natsu and several others watched in stunned silence as cracks spread out from Ed's position to the surrounding sky, and the entire sky was covered with cracks.
"Then the next step is, Fire Release·Majestic Destroyer Flame!" Ed, who returned to the ground, looked at the scope of the cracks in the sky and nodded with satisfaction. The magic power of resonance gathered again, and a sea of fire rushed up, covering all the cracks.
As the flames burned, the sky seemed to be melted, and the area covered gradually became smaller. The burned area was once again sprinkled with white moonlight.
With the output of Ed's magic power, the sky full of cracks gradually shrank to a little bit. Ed stopped the output of magic power and watched something start to fall. He quickly went to catch the falling thing. Looking at the crystal-like object in his hand, Ed nodded with satisfaction.
As the flames dissipated, the moonlight shone on the earth again, but it was white.
"Isn't it destroyed? The moon is still there. What should I do? Can't even Ed complete this task?" Lucy was a little dumbfounded.
Erza on the side felt a little helpless when he heard this, "Don't you understand until now... The mission has been completed..."
"Yes, the truth of this curse is actually that the scattered part of the Moon Drop formed by the excessive moonlight during the daily Moon Drop ceremony for several years merged with various magazines in the air to form an evil film. This evil film affected the memory of the villagers, leading to the emergence of the curse."
Ed, who returned to the ground, looked at the crystal in his hand and was slightly out of breath. After all, instead of using the accumulated magic power, he directly used half of his own magic power to resonate, and then output a lot of it. He was indeed a little tired.
He took a breath and said to several people, "This is the crystal of Moon Drop after it has been burned to remove impurities. It should be able to break the demon by firing a weapon."
"Memory? What do you mean?" Lucy The others still haven't reacted.
Erza saw this and said directly, "The villagers here are not human beings at all, but demons. Under the influence of Moon Drop, their memories are confused and they think they are human beings who were cursed to transform."
"!" Natsu were a little shocked. They looked at the villagers and said in disbelief, "Are these originally demons?"
Looking at themselves, the villagers seemed to have remembered something, and said with some uncertainty, "So, although my mind is still confused, it seems that this is indeed what happened..."
"Oh!!!!" Several people were shocked, "You really succeeded."
Suddenly a voice came from behind. Ed and the others looked back, and a devil covered in red looked at them happily.
"Who are you?" Ed was a little confused.
"This voice is... the boatman who brought us here!!" Lucy heard the voice and looked at the slightly familiar face and said loudly, "Didn't you disappear on the boat? We thought it was a ghost!"
"Ah haha, I'm sorry. After all, I'm a devil, so I still feel uncomfortable under the light of that membrane." The visitor said sheepishly.
"Bobo! Aren't you dead?" the village chief said excitedly when he saw the visitor.
"We are demons. We can't die from a fatal wound like a mere piercing through the chest." After saying that, he and the village chief hugged each other tightly.
"I'm making you worry, Dad." "Bobo~!" The two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Anyway, the mission is now complete~" Ed looked at Lucy and the others and said with a smile, "Great!"
Natsu and Happy cheered, "This way we have completed S-Class Mission!" Lucy and Gray also laughed.
"Although it's not good to spoil your fun at this time, you haven't forgotten why we came, right?" Seeing the excitement of a few people, Ed stood next to Erza and gave them a bad smile.
"!!!" Several people were stunned as if struck by lightning.
-----The other side------
"Oh, is this the power of Golden Flash? It seems quite strong, but it doesn't seem to last long... Huh..." A female figure appeared in the distance, glanced at Ed and the others, and left directly.
