Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 29 The Sorcerer Who Violated the Taboo
The gloomy sky is covered with dark clouds; fires are burning on the snow-covered land; villages and towns have been reduced to ruins, and people have been devastated.

There was a dead silence all around, only the weak "beep" sound from the lingering fire among the ruined walls.There are only ruins and corpses in sight, and the scene in front of him is stained red with blood. It seems... no, this is hell!
There is no second living life in the whole village, only at that moment.The concept of time is meaningless, when it appears, the only thing in the world is fire and destruction!The culprit who caused all this is long gone, but I will never forget its name—the fiery demon "Dailiola" walking in the Northland!
"Grey! Gray..." My companion shouted in my ears, "Hurry up, you've already seen the temple in the center of the island."

What happened just now?To be able to see the nightmare of the past in a trance... Gray shook his head vigorously, is he too tired recently?He quickly followed in the footsteps of Natsu and Lucy.

Turning around the dense forest, you can see the ruins of an old and dilapidated building complex. In the center is a simple and atmospheric stone pyramid. The main body is still intact, but it is covered with vines and moss, and there are faintly visible reliefs with the same simple style.This must be the inaccessible temple that the village head mentioned, right?It is said that none of the villagers in the village can approach the center of the island, so there is always no way to investigate here.If the island is the most suspicious place, it is undoubtedly here.

When he came to the pyramid, Gray looked around carefully and said: "There are many traces of human activities, and the traces are very new. It seems that there are other people on the island, which must be related to the curse of the devil. The root of all problems is probably here. .Everyone be careful."

Although he said so, he and Natsu rushed inside without any intention of being careful.Lucy, who was the only one who felt nervous, had no choice but to keep up. She was used to the style of these two people, and of course, with the strength of the two of them, she was indeed qualified to be so bold.

The structure inside the tower is very simple and empty, and there are no more clues.Naz looked around for a while, and suddenly said, "This place is so dilapidated, it looks like it might break anytime."

Lucy immediately looked at the wall next to her nervously, and complained: "Don't talk nonsense...and don't move!"

Naz didn't care so much, he kicked and beat around to see if the buildings here were strong enough.He stomped on the ground vigorously, and just felt something was wrong, but the ground under the three people's feet suddenly collapsed, and they all fell into a deep hollow below.Fortunately, although the entrance of the cave was deep, none of the three were injured, and Lucy landed safely with the help of Happy.And this vast underground space is obviously more valuable for exploration than the space above, so they simply followed the underground passage to investigate.

In the dark and empty underground space, there were bursts of chill, Lucy couldn't help shivering, and hugged her arms tightly, but she found that the two people in front of her didn't respond, and she didn't know if they were simply not afraid of the cold, or it was just her The psychological effect of mischief.After turning a corner, my eyes lit up, and I felt a sense of enlightenment. It seemed that I had come to the central hall of this underground space. The stone in the central ceiling was completely hollowed out, and the light from outside could be vaguely seen shining from the hollow, illuminating the space. The huge object in the center.

It was a huge piece of ice, or a small iceberg, standing there quietly, exuding a biting cold air.Seeing it, Lucy understood why she felt cold.

But what is in front of me is not just an iceberg. Through the crystal clear ice layer, you can clearly see the huge frozen figure inside, with a palpitatingly huge body shape, a hideous and terrifying appearance, and a huge scorpion above the head that shows its identity. Devil horns.

"Lalabhai..." Lucy immediately thought of the great demon she saw not long ago.Could it be that the target of this mission is the demon in Zeref's spellbook?But isn't the one in front of you sealed?

"No, it's not Lalabhai..." Gray's deep voice came, gnashing his teeth, "It's Deliola."

Naz asked: "What's the matter, Gray?" He can be said to be the person who is most familiar with Gray, and he immediately noticed the abnormality of his companion, and the cold magic power that was incompatible with him was rippling in waves.

At this time, Gray was not as calm as usual, with a ferocious face, and the majestic anger could almost be seen with the naked eye. It was a terrifying expression that had never appeared even when he was arguing with Natsu: he was really angry. .The two of them had never seen such an angry Gray.

"Why is it here?" Gray ignored Natsu, but asked angrily.

Lucy asked carefully: "Well, Gray, do you know this demon?"

"Ten years ago, the demon that rampaged across the northern continent, turned Isbang into ruins, and was finally sealed by my master Ulu... How could I not recognize it?"

Lucy said in surprise, "Grey's master? Could it be the one who taught you the magic of ice modeling?"

"That's right! This is the sealing magic that Uru cast with his life. Who moved it to this island! Who dares to defile her like this!" Gray's face was grim.

Feeling Gray's anger, Lucy looked at him worriedly, not knowing how to appease him.

At this time, seeing Natsu showing signs of approaching the iceberg seal, Gray went up and punched him to the ground: "No magician of the fire department can approach her! Deliola is not dead yet, if the seal is broken , then it will be released!"

Natsu covered his head and asked back: "Could it be that this seal can be broken with flames?"

"Of course not!" Gray retorted subconsciously, and then calmed down immediately, "Absolutely frozen is the ultimate magic seal formed by Ulu's life, and any explosive magic can never be undone..."

Natsu said, "Then what are you worried about?"

Lucy decisively interrupted Natsu: "Okay, Natsu, shut up! Gray, are you okay?" She turned her head to comfort Gray.

"Is there a mistake? I was beaten." Natsu muttered.

Happy flew over suddenly and said, "Someone is coming."

The three looked at each other and quickly hid.

Following a burst of conversations approaching, a group of three people came to the foot of the iceberg seal.

Lucy peeked over, the appearance of these three people is too individual, one seems to be a kobold, a short man with a pair of exaggerated eyebrows, and the woman next to her looks more normal, dressed exquisitely The exaggerated dress looks like a doll... But having said that, the mages are all very individual guys. In this way, they are pretty normal... Lucy explained to herself silently.

"Did you see the intruder?" Long Mei looked around and said.

The kobold said, "I heard a human voice! Don't you believe it!"

"Have you been polluted by the moondrop? I saw your ears."

"Who will be polluted!" the kobold yelled, "this is decoration!"

"Ah, just kidding..."

"Don't just joke around!"

The woman had a sad expression: "Angelinka was beaten up outside, it must have been done by an outsider."

"Oh, is that your big mouse?" said Longbrows. "Don't give a mouse such an elegant name."

"Anjelinka is not a big mouse, she is a hunter sneaking in the dark, searching for prey gracefully..." The woman said affectionately, "This is the expression of love..."

The long eyebrows seem to have gotten used to the woman's way of speaking, shrugged: "Okay, quickly look around, the ceremony is almost a success, and we can't fall short at this juncture. Otherwise, there is no way to explain to Emperor Zero."

The woman clasped her hands together on her chest: "That's for sure. For the mission of Lord Zero Emperor, I will definitely go all out to show my love!"

After the three left, Lucy and the others also left the hiding place.

"Ritual, Emperor Zero." Lucy recalled the conversation just now, and grasped the key words, "It seems that they really intend to break the seal of Daliola!" Frozen is such an almost unsolvable sealing magic; if you only look at the amount of knowledge in books, Lucy can actually surpass most people in the guild.

Gray clenched his fists: "How dare they!"

Lucy analyzed: "Just now they mentioned the moon... It seems that it is a ritual related to the moon, so it coincides with the curse in the village; I just don't know if it is the devil or the ritual. reason."

Natsu pointed at the ice: "Look, there is light!"

At this time, just as the moon was reaching the middle of the sky, a beam of purple light could be seen projecting down from the hole above the ice seal, shining directly on the seal of the iceberg.Moreover, this beam of moonlight was so intense that it almost turned into a liquid state. After falling on the ice cube, it continued to slide down like a stream of water. At the same time, the ice cube that sealed Daliola started to melt!The absolute ice has melted!
"Moon drop!" Lucy suddenly remembered what she read in the book, and couldn't help shouting, "This is the moon drop! It can't be wrong, there must be a ceremony to collect the moon drop."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the other two people, Lucy explained: "The liquid moonlight is the moon drop, which collects the special substance transformed by moonlight, which has the magical effect of dispelling any magic in the legend! If this is the case , it's normal to be able to untie this ice seal!"

"It can definitely melt the ice!" Gray was a little bit unacceptable for a while, but immediately realized: the ice is melting!If it continues, Daliola will come back soon, and the frozen Uru will disappear completely!
The black-haired boy suddenly felt panic. He couldn't accept either of these two consequences!Memories that had been dusty for ten years hit my heart again, pain and beauty, hope and despair, my own end in rebirth.He thought he had already walked out of the past.

"No matter who it is, it's unforgivable!" Gray strode out, those people above were violating taboos!
