Simulation: Start with one person

After saying that, she opened the door and strode out of the room.

The three of them quickly gathered at the window, their eyes following Erza until she entered a certain house.

A moment later, Erza and Fang Rui came out of the house, seemingly discussing something.

'Um?Is it so quiet? '

The three of them tilted their heads together, thinking that the situation was not normal.

According to Erza's character, shouldn't she be preaching in a stern tone?

Why is the atmosphere so friendly?

The three people's confusion was not answered. Erza and Fang Rui had already left the three people's field of vision, and the three of them did not have the courage to follow them.

Outside the village, on the quiet forest path, insects and frogs chirp one after another.

The two walked side by side and discussed the problems existing on Karna Island.

"...The villagers in this village should be demons. The reason why they think they are demons is most likely due to the influence of some kind of magic."

"In addition, there are a lot of magical remnants accumulated in the sky above the island, which is the reason why the moon changes color..."

After listening to Fang Rui's words, Erza carefully analyzed it based on the known information for a while, and then said the most likely option: "So, there should be another wave of people on the island."

"should be."

Fang Rui responded with a smile, and then explained: "I know you have another group of people on Doubt Island, why didn't the villagers mention it."

"The answer is simple. According to the information I got from asking the villagers, they will not go near any part of the island. They just hide somewhere and rarely go out..."

"It's possible not to be discovered."

"Then the question is, where should we go to see it?"

"Confirm the degree of danger of the mission in advance to determine whether it is dangerous for Natsu and others to participate in the mission."

"Go." Erza said concisely.

"Then...please come with me~"

With that said, Fang Rui changed his direction and walked through the mountains and forests to reach a dilapidated building. It looked a little like a temple and a little like an altar.

"So that's it. The villagers are demons and it's normal that they can't approach the temple."

Erza looked like her doubts had been solved and explained in a tone of surprise.

"Devils...can't approach the temple?" Fang Rui asked.

There should be gods in the Fairy Tail world. After all, Zeref is burdened with the curse of Anxelam, but were there demons from the beginning?

Hard to say……

It was Zeref who really made the reputation of "Devil" spread.

Previously, there was no record of belief in the existence of demons.

If not, why would the devil, as an artificial life form, dare not approach the temple and be affected by the evil-destroying magic power...

'Something interesting...'

Thinking in his mind, Fang Rui decided to catch some demons to try.

After a while, I remembered that there was a demon right below the temple.

One of the demons created by "Dark Mage" Zeref, a calamity demon named "Immortal". He does evil everywhere and destroys all living beings. His strength is comparable to that of the Holy Ten Mage.

To be precise, it is stronger than the Holy Ten Mage.

After all, Deliora has a record of defeating Uru, one of the Holy Ten Wizards. It is completely reasonable to say that its strength is no less than that of the Holy Ten Wizards.

So to say……

Deliora was completely cold, maybe it was because of the magic power of the temple and the Moon Drop.

Demons are known to resist approaching the temple, for reasons unknown.

The magic power of Moon Drops can affect demons and impose negative conditions.

In addition, being trapped in the "absolute ice" for a long time, Deliora's health was running low.

'Well, it's possible...'

'If it is true, someone who was obsessed with killing Deliora did indeed contribute a little bit in killing Deliora? '

When he complained like this, Erza thought carefully and answered his question:

"As far as I know, you can't get close."

"Is that so..." Fang Rui smiled and did not continue to dwell on the matter. Once he verified it, he would know what was going on.

The two entered the temple and hid in a corner of a certain floor, watching a group of people holding a ceremony.

Then, following the downward moonlight, we arrived at the deepest part of the temple ruins, where Deliora's cave was located.

"It's the devil again..."

Erza whispered something in a low voice, so low that only Fang Rui could hear it clearly.

"There are demons on the island where demons live... isn't it normal~"

Ignoring Fang Rui's deliberate nonsense, Erza's eyes wandered around the cave, looking for more clues...

Among a group of people dressed in the same uniform, if there are a few people dressed differently, then... they are likely to be the top leaders of the organization.

For example, next to the frozen demon, there are three people dressed obviously differently from the others.

Remembering the characteristics of the three of them, Erza lightly patted Fang Rui on the shoulder, then raised her finger and pointed behind her to signal retreat.

Fang Rui, who understood what Erza meant, nodded slightly, and left the cave with her, going to the woods outside the temple ruins. While returning to the village, he talked about what he had seen before.

"What do you think their purpose is?"

"I think it should be to release the demon or kill the demon."

It was a very general statement, but Erza did not continue to ask about this matter, and turned to another matter: "I need to ensure that the devil is not released, so your bodyguard needs to be changed..."

"Natsu, Gray, and Lucy are all in trouble, you won't let Habib protect me!" Fang Rui complained.

"This is indeed a problem." Erza nodded and thought of a compromise, "Why don't you follow me for the time being and wait until the Karna Island mission is over."

"No, I have the ability to protect myself." Fang Rui waved his hand and refused.

"No..." Erza's attitude was very firm, not letting Fang Rui act alone.

"Let's do this! I have a tool..." Fang Rui took out the earbud communicator and handed it to Erza, "Even if we are thousands of miles apart, you can contact me at any time with this. You can use it to confirm whether I am safe, and you can also chat. of."

After thinking for a while, Erza finally agreed.

The two returned to the village...

………………

The next day.

Erza and others left the village, and Fang Rui continued to study demons.

Through comparison, he found that there was a slight difference between the demons on Karna Island and the demons created by Zeref.

On the one hand, it is strength. The reason why Zeref created the demon was to kill himself. Therefore, in terms of lethality, the demon created by Zeref is very strong, and its abilities are not repeated.

The demons living on Karna Island are very ordinary in terms of strength, almost the same as ordinary humans. The most obvious differences are their physical differences and the ability to fly.

As for magic...

Apart from the appearance change, no other magic is displayed.

With Zeref's character, there is no reason to create such a weak demon.

Is it...

Was it a prototype created by Zeref during his initial research on creating demons?

Maybe so...

Fang Rui doesn't really care about the truth. He already knows the overall structure of these demons very well. Compared with other demons with more exaggerated strength, these demons are easier to replicate.

but……

After satisfying his curiosity, Fang Rui did not conduct in-depth research or reproduce...

A bit too ordinary.

With this in mind, Fang Rui left the village and went to the beach to fish.

At the same time, Tianlang Island.

After a period of searching, Fang Rui found Zeref somewhere on the edge of the island. At this time, he was sitting on the ground, looking at the blue ocean in a daze.

Zeref's normal state has black eyes, and his out-of-control state has red eyes.

However, there are two normal states of black eyes, one is a state without any problems, and the other is an amnesia state with a lack of memory.

As for why he lost his memory, Zeref probably turned it off himself.

After all, for him, many memories are sad.

"who are you?"

Sensing someone approaching, Zeref turned to look at the person and warned: "Don't come close to me, I... don't want to take your life!"

As he spoke, Zeref suddenly grabbed the clothes on his chest.

"Here it comes, it's coming!!!"

"Quick! Get away from me!!!"

Zeref waved his hands violently and spoke harshly.

Before the words were finished, dark waves erupted with Fang Rui as the center, spreading in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

Plants that came into contact with the dark fluctuations turned yellow one after another, and the land withered and cracked, as if their vitality had been sucked out.

"I flash~"

It's hard to say whether a clone can withstand the curse of the gods. A certain clone had no idea of ​​trying and just dodged and moved thousands of meters away.

Two seconds later, he teleported back.
