Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 74 The Demon Dancing Under the Night Sky

The edge of Karuna Island.

With a deafening roar, stones flowed backward and wood chips flew everywhere.

The village, which had been devastated by the attack on Yuka and his two companions, was restored to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ultear held up the sphere and used the lost magic that could reverse time for inanimate objects—Arc of Time.

The powerful magic and magical energy she had never witnessed before left the newbie Lucy speechless: Truly, she truly is worthy of being Uru's daughter...

Natsu patted Ultear on the shoulder familiarly and praised her excitedly, "Well done, Ultear."

"Although your magic is somewhat similar to that masked bastard's, and your scent is incredibly close, you're much more powerful than him!"

Is it possible that I am the masked bastard you're talking about, and...?

Ultear's lips twitched slightly: "My name is Ultear, not some pitch-black thing!"

"Haha, whatever, whatever." Natsu scratched his head and revealed an incredibly bright smile.

Chase noticed the change in his expression and was momentarily unsure whether the guy was just pretending to be wise or genuinely slow-witted.

Well, the latter is more likely.

After all, when it comes to anything other than battle and the lives of his comrades, Natsu is a complete idiot.

"Hey! What are you mages thinking?!"

The village chief, who had almost completely transformed into a demon, roared furiously, "Why haven't you destroyed the moon yet? Destroy the moon!!"

He was more concerned about the purple moon overhead than the village.

"I already said, this is something no human could possibly do..."

Lucy placed her hands in front of her, trying her best to calm the village chief down.

It was only at this moment that she belatedly realized that although Deliora's crisis had been resolved, there was still no clue about the S-class commission mission!

Seeing this, Urutia, who knew the inside story, stepped forward.

Just as he was about to explain the truth about this demon village, Uru reached out and stopped him.

"It's been a long time since we've had any activities, so let me give my foolish apprentice a lesson after all this time."

After saying that, she glanced at Gray.

A hash symbol appeared on Gray's forehead: So you only have one apprentice, huh!

Although Uruguay was frozen for a long time, its original knowledge and experience were still there.

After learning the general situation from the villagers, I thought about it briefly and came to a conclusion.

"So, your bodies only started to look like this three years ago when the purple moon began to appear, right?"

Uru looked at the village chief, who had calmed down.

"To be precise, it's only when the purple moon comes out at night that everyone turns into demons," the village chief corrected.

"They all live on the island, but only the local villagers were affected, while Leon and his group did not have similar symptoms."

As she walked, Uru squinted and pondered. She certainly knew far more about the Moon Drops that could control absolute freezing than Grenaz and the others.

"The timelines completely overlap, yet the results are drastically different. Hmm, in that case, there's nothing to say but oh dear!"

Halfway through her analysis, she suddenly screamed, lost her footing, and fell into the trap that Lucy had dug to deal with Yuka and the other two.

Well, the trap that was supposed to be "prepared" for Erza ended up being stepped into by Ul...

"Another person has been infected?"

"It was such a clumsy trap!"

"Could that blonde girl really be a genius?"

The villagers gasped in disbelief.

Why are even the traps perfectly replicated?!

Suspect Lucy was sweating profusely and shaking her head frantically: It's not my fault, it's not my fault.

"Hey Lucy, you're so juicy!" Happy flew over and nestled close to her.

"You damn cat, that's sweat!" Lucy snapped.

Uru nimbly climbed out of the crater and casually continued, "One possibility is that all the problems lie on the moon!"

Embarrassed in front of my stupid apprentice and cute daughter, of course I should pretend it never happened.

Wow, what incredible mental fortitude! You're almost on par with Erza, aren't you?

While letting out a sigh of relief, Lucy couldn't help but mentally complain.

"So! We'll listen to the village chief and destroy the purple moon in the sky!" Uru clenched his fist with great enthusiasm.

Nazrushi Habigray: "What?!?!?!"

Seeing the utterly shocked group, Uru didn't bother to explain further; instead, he demonstrated his point through action.

"Grellion, let me see how far you've progressed in your magical training over the years!"

As she finished speaking, she clasped her fists together and slowly placed her arms at her waist, assuming the standard pose for using a shaping spell.

After a period of adjustment, she was able to use her magic normally.

Gray and Leon instantly understood the magic Uru wanted to use, and the excited smiles that appeared on their lips at the same time masked their confusion about "destroying the moon".

"No problem!" x2

Wearing only leggings, they stood side by side with Uru, striking the same pose, their palms radiating cold air.

This scene feels like stepping back in time.

"And, and me too." Urudia blushed and silently stepped forward.

Besides the lost magic Arc of Time, she also inherited Uru's shape magic, and it's the really powerful kind!

"Magic Design: Icy Fountain!!"

The four shouted in unison, pressing their palms to the ground and creating a slowly rotating white magic circle.

boom!!

Ice shards flew everywhere, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

The overlapping ice pillars rose from the ground, speeding towards the top of the night sky segment by segment, and finally domineeringly stood on the purple moon!

Under Lucy's horrified gaze, the purple moon, along with the surrounding energy membrane, was forcibly pierced by the ice pillar.

The dense cracks spread in all directions until it shattered completely with a "crack"!

The view suddenly opened up, revealing a sky full of stars, bathed in the bright moonlight.

"The moon is still there? No, that shattered purple moon was just an illusion?!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right. The Moon Drop magic circle needs to gather moonlight over a long period of time. Over time, the residual energy forms a layer of material similar to a magic membrane, which envelops the entire island."

Standing to the side, Chess looked at the flying fragments and explained, "The purple moon we saw earlier was just a visual illusion caused by moonlight shining on the magic membrane."

"Chesco, so you knew all along? The villagers should have recovered by now..."

As she spoke, Lucy turned around as if it were nothing, and was startled by the villagers who still looked like ugly demons.

"Huh?! No?!"

The villagers, who were still basking in the joy of the shattered Purple Moon, soon realized the cruel reality and their faces fell in despair and dejection.

"Didn't Uru just say that neither Leon nor those believers have shown similar symptoms?"

Chess pointed to the believers and Yuka, who had somehow arrived at the village entrance, and said, "In other words, the energy membrane does not have the negative effect of turning humans into demons."

"Wait, Chess, you don't mean...?"

Lucy finally realized the crux of the problem, and at lightning speed hid behind Chase, looking at the villagers with a horrified expression.

"That's right, they weren't human to begin with, but demons with the ability to transform into human form."

Ultear walked over slowly, smiling as she confirmed her guess, "The effects of the Moon Drops only caused a distortion in their memories."

"Huh?!!!!"

……

After some explanation, the villagers' memories gradually returned.

With the explanation of Popo, the boatman who took Natsu and the others to Karuna Island and whose son was "killed" by the village chief, appearing in the background.

The villagers, having fully recalled all their past memories, unfurled their demon wings and soared into the air, expressing their excitement and joy at regaining their recollections.

Thus, Chase, Lucy, Ul, and the others witnessed a beautiful scene characteristic of Fairy Tail:

Demons with innocent smiles danced gracefully under the night sky!

"Even though he's a demon, he's like an elf," Lucy couldn't help but murmur.

"Indeed, it's rare to come out like this, should we catch one and bring it back as a gift for Mira?" Chase pondered seriously.

"...Are you serious?"

"Oh, Lucy wants one too?"

"No! I don't want to at all! And please, don't make such terrifying comments during such a beautiful scene T_T!"

"Oh my! Lucy is so silly, she didn't even realize Chase was just teasing you."

"Shut up, you dead cat!!"
