Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wizard Who Broke the Taboo

The sky was gloomy with dark clouds, the snow-covered land was burning with fires, and villages and towns were in ruins, and life was devastated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There was a dead silence all around, only the remnants of the fire between the broken walls and the ruins made a feeble "beep" sound. There are only ruins and corpses in sight, and the scene in front of them is stained red with blood, and it seems that this place is ...... No, it's hell here!

There was no second living life in the whole village, only in that moment. The concept of time is meaningless, and when it appears, all that is left in the world is fire and destruction! The culprit is long gone, but I will never forget its name, the Northland Walking Flame Demon "Daliora"!

"Gray! Gray...... "Gree" heard the shouts of his companions, "let's go, we have seen the temple in the middle of the island." ”

What happened just now? I saw the nightmare of the past in a trance...... Gray shook his head vigorously, had he been too tired lately, and he hurried to follow in the footsteps of Natsu and Lucy.

Turning through the dense forest, you can see the ruins of an ancient and dilapidated building complex, in the center of which is a quaint stone pyramid, the main body is still intact, but it is covered with vines and moss, and the same quaint relief is faintly visible. It is said that none of the villagers can get close to the center of the island, so there is no way to investigate this place. If there is one suspicious place on the island, it is undoubtedly this place.

Coming to the bottom of the pyramid, Gray looked around carefully and said, "There are many traces of human activity, and the traces are very new, it seems that there are other people on the island, it must be related to the demonic curse, and the root of all the problems is probably here." Be careful, everyone. ”

Although he said so, he and Natsu were careless, and they rushed inside. Lucy, the only one who was nervous, could only helplessly keep up, she was used to the styles 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. Natsu looked around for a moment, then suddenly said, "This place is so shabby, it looks like it could break down at any moment." ”

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

Natsu didn't care so much, kicking around to see if the buildings were sturdy enough. He stomped on the ground hard, and just as he felt something was wrong, the ground under the soles of the three of them suddenly collapsed, and they collectively fell into a deep hole below. Fortunately, although the entrance to the cave was deep, none of the three were injured, and Lucy landed safely because of Harpy's help. And this vast underground space is obviously more valuable to explore than the space above, so they simply follow the underground passage to investigate.

In the dark and empty underground space, there was a chill, Lucy couldn't help but shiver and clenched her arms, but she found that the two people in front of her did not react, and she didn't know if they were simply not afraid of the cold, or if it was purely their own psychological effect. After turning a corner, my eyes lit up, and I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if I had come to the central hall of this underground space, the stone of the central ceiling was completely hollowed out, and the light from the outside could be faintly seen spilling from the hollow, illuminating the huge object in the center of the space.

It was a huge piece of ice, or rather a small iceberg, that stood there silently, exuding a bitter chill. Seeing it, Lucy understood why she felt cold.

But it wasn't just an iceberg in front of you, you could clearly see through the crystal ice that the huge figure inside was frozen inside, the huge size that made people palpitate, the hideous and terrifying appearance, and the huge demon horn on the top of the head to indicate the identity.

"Lalabayi......" Lucy immediately thought of the Great Demon she had seen not long ago. Could it be that the target of this mission is the demon of Jelf's magic book?

"No, it's not Larabayi......" Gray's deep voice came with a gritted teeth, "it's Daliora." ”

Natsu asked, "What's wrong, Gray?" He was arguably the most familiar with Gray, and immediately noticed his companion's anomaly, the cold magic that was out of place with him rippling in waves.

At this time, Gray was completely uncalm, his face was full of hideousness, and the majestic anger could almost be seen with the naked eye, which was a terrible look that had not appeared even when he quarreled with Natsu: he was really angry. Such an angry Gray was something the two had never seen before.

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

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

"The demons that roamed the northern continent ten years ago, reduced Isbang to ruins, and were finally sealed away by my master, Uru...... How could I not know each other?"

Lucy was surprised and said, "Gray's master, is it the one who taught you the magic of ice forming?"

"Yes, this is the sealing magic that Uru cast with his life, who moved it to this island! Who dared to defile her like this!" Gray grimaced.

Sensing Gray's anger, Lucy looked at him with some concern, not knowing how to appease him.

At this time, seeing that Natsu was showing signs of approaching the iceberg seal, Gray went up and punched him to the ground: "All flame magicians can't get close to her! Daliora is not dead yet, if the seal is broken, then it will be released!"

Natsu covered her head and asked, "Could it be that this seal can be broken with flames?"

"Of course not!" Gray subconsciously retorted, before he suddenly calmed down, "Absolute Frozen is the final magic seal that Uru made with life, and any flame-bursting magic can never be unlocked......"

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

Lucy decisively interrupted Natsu, "Alright, Natsu, shut up! Gray, are you alright?" and turned her head to comfort Gray.

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

Harpy suddenly flew over and said, "Someone's coming." ”

The three of them looked at each other and quickly hid.

With a fainter conversation, a group of three people came to the foot of the iceberg seal.

Lucy peeked over, the appearance of these three people was too individual, one seemed to be a kobold, a short man with a pair of exaggerated eyebrows, and the woman next to her was relatively normal, wearing a delicate and exaggerated dress, like a doll...... But then again, the mages are all very individual, so in that case, they're pretty normal...... Lucy silently explained to herself.

"Didn't see any intruders?" said the long eyebrows, looking around.

The kobold said, "I hear a man's voice! Don't you believe it!"

"Are you tainted by the drops of the moon? I see your ears. ”

"Who's going to be polluted!" cried the kobold, "it's a decoration!"

"Ah, just kidding......"

"Don't be joking!"

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

"Oh, your big mouse?" said the long eyebrows, "don't give the mouse such an elegant name." ”

"Angelinka is not a big mouse, she is a stealthy hunter, elegantly searching for prey......" said the woman affectionately, "this is a sign of love......

The long eyebrows seemed to have become accustomed to the way a woman spoke, and shrugged: "Okay, hurry up and check around, the ceremony is almost successful, and it can't fall short at this juncture." Otherwise, there would be no way to explain to Emperor Zero. ”

The woman clasped her hands together and hugged her chest: "That's a certainty, for the mission of Lord Zero Emperor, I will definitely go all out to show my love!"

After the three of them left, Lucy and the others left their hiding place.

"Ritual, Emperor Zero. Lucy recalled the conversation just now and grasped the key word, "It seems that they really plan to unlock Daliora's seal!" At the same time, she recalled in her heart what kind of ritual could break the almost unsolvable seal magic of absolute ice, and if she only read the amount of knowledge in books, Lucy could actually surpass the vast majority of people in the guild.

Gray clenched his fists: "How dare they!"

Lucy analyzed, "They talked about the moon just now...... It seems to be a ritual related to the moon, so it coincides with the curse in the village, but it is not known if it is the cause of the demon or the ritual. ”

Natsu pointed to the ice: "Look, there's light!"

At this time, at the middle of the moon, a pillar of purple light could be seen projecting from the hole above the ice, shining directly on the iceberg seal. And the moonlight was so intense that it almost turned into a liquid state, and after falling on the ice, it slid down like a stream of water, and at the same time, the ice that sealed Deliola began to melt!

"Drop of the Moon!" Lucy suddenly thought of what she had seen in the book, and couldn't help but shout, "This is the Drop of the Moon! ”

Finding the other two puzzled, Lucy explained: "That liquid moonlight is the drop of the moon, and the special substance that collects the moonlight into has the magical effect of removing any magic in the legend!

"It can melt the absolute ice!" Gray was a little unacceptable for a while, but immediately reacted: the ice is melting! If it continues, Dariola will make a comeback, and Uru, who has become frozen, will also disappear completely!

The black-haired boy suddenly felt a burst of panic, these two consequences, no matter which one he could not accept! The memories that had been sealed for ten years hit his heart again, pain and beauty, hope and despair, and the end of his life was a new life. He thought he had already walked out of the past.

"Whoever it is, unforgivable!" Gray strode out, the people above were breaking the taboo!
