The fight between Fairy Tail Wizards and Lyon's Minions were still underway. They managed to knock out some of them while the rest of Lyon's Minions were keeping their distance from them. And somehow, they feel a bit unease due to Auberon and the others' magic power
"Hey guys, Do you noticing something strange about them?" Iris asked,
"Yeah, they may be a lot of them. But their magic power is very low" Lucy said,
"In other words, there are only five wizards among them" Erza guessed,
"Well, it looks like I have to go easy on them," Happy said, while Lucy was unimpressed by Happy's attitude
"Just keep telling yourself that," Lucy said to Happy,
"Think you can handle this one?" Erza asked,
"Oh, you betcha," Lucy answered, pulling out some sort of golden key on her hand "Open Gate of the Giant Crab! Cancer!"
Auberon and Iris were surprised by the sudden appearance of a tall man wearing the same attire as a hairdresser holding two scissors and six crab-like legs on it's back. The man was making what sounds like music as he twirls his scissors and made a pose at the end
"Auberon, Isn't that" Iris said, surprised
'It is, Lucy is a Celestial Wizard. And this is the first time I've seen a Zodiac Spirit in person' Auberon commented,
"Hm, Have we met before haven't we?" Erza asked, and The Zodiac Spirit known as Cancer kneeled on one knee in front of Erza while offering a bouquet of roses to her
"Indeed we have, and always I'm at your service, Miss" Cancer said
"I thought you always say, baby?! What's with Miss?! And aren't you supposed to be at my service?!" Lucy yelled while Auberon and Iris sweatdrops at this situation
"I think someone here is jealous?" Happy said, mockingly
"Well... This is weirder than usual," Iris said
'Guess her spirits are a bit wild, I think...' Auberon commented
"Take them down! But don't kill them, Just rough them out" Lucy ordered,
"Alright baby, also miss," Cancer said, and started attacking Lyon's Minions with both of his scissors and was making quick work of them
Auberon and Iris simply watched as Cancer beats up several members of Lyon's Minions. Even though Cancer was armed with scissors. He was making quick work of the number of enemies.
"Wow, I never thought Celestial Spirits were this strong" Iris commented,
'I gotta say, I'm impressed too,' Auberon added,
A few moments later, Auberon and co. have beaten Lyon's minions and all of them were groaning in pain
"Guess that's the last of them," Iris commented,
"Then let's head to the temple," Erza said,
"Right," Lucy agreed
"No, wait!" An old woman said, making everyone turned to her "We won't let you interfere with the Cold Emperor"
"Those headpieces, you people are from the city of Brago," Erza said,
"One of the cities destroyed by Deliora," Iris followed
'And you want revenge against the demon, Am I right?' Auberon asked and the old woman nodded
"Yes, When Deliora destroyed our hometown. All we ever wanted was revenge against the demon for taking away our home and our families and the reason why we followed the Cold Emperor into reviving the demon. So that he could defeat the demon himself," The old man explained,
Everyone except for Auberon was surprised when the old woman explanation. And they also found out that Lyon's minions were also survivors of Deliora's wraith and destruction.
"That's why we don't want you to interfere. Once the Cold Emperor defeats the demon. Our people along with the rest of the survivors of demon's wraith will have their vengeance against Deliora. And we will not let you interfere with this," The old woman continued
Meanwhile, Auberon sighed at this and steps forward to them
'But what if Lyon can't beat Deliora?' Auberon asked, crossing his arms together 'What if Lyon dies in battle against Deliora? Have you ever thought of that before?'
"What are you saying, Boy?" The old woman asked,
'What I'm saying is... That your plan to revive the Demon has some major flaws in it' Auberon answered, the old woman along with man supporting her gasped a little 'I know that you have faith in Lyon when he wanted to defeat that demon by himself. But do you have any idea of the power Deliora possessed in the past?'
This gave them some realization when they remembered Deliora's attack back in Brago and they were starting to feel unease by this sudden reveal while Auberon simply continued his explanation 'Deliora wasn't named as the Demon of Destruction for a reason. If by some chance that demon had the same strength from before, do you think Lyon will be able to defeat Deliora all by himself?'
Both of them were silent and looked down in shame of not realizing this sooner. Auberon simply stared at them while Iris, Lucy, Erza, and Happy stayed silent as well
'Listen closely, Vengeance isn't always the answer in life. Even though Deliora brought thousands or maybe millions of people dead in his destruction. Just be grateful that you lived another day. Because the one who sealed it freed this world from its' chaotic wraith' Auberon advised, which made them put into thought over the things they've done to revive the demon
Lucy was in awe by Auberon's wisdom towards Lyon's minions while Erza and Iris smiled at Auberon after hearing his speech
'Come on, everyone. Let's get to the temple before it's too late' Auberon ordered
"Right!" Everyone said in unison
Soon afterward, Auberon and co. ran past the survivors of Brago and they didn't bother to try and stop them since they're currently reflecting the actions they've done
Iris went beside her brother and kept smiling at him
"Nice speech, little brother" Iris complimented and Auberon simply nodded his head
'Thanks, sis,' Auberon said,
As they made their way to the temple. A loud roar was suddenly heard from the temple which causes Auberon and co. to stop moving towards the temple and cover their ears from roar coming from the temple
Lucy covered her ears as hard as she could, along with Happy
"My ears weren't ready for this!" Happy screeched
"That doesn't sound too promising," Erza commented
'Then we better pick up the pace before things get even worse than usual' Auberon ordered and everyone agreed to his idea
Once they reached the temple, Lucy guided Auberon, Iris, and Erza to the location where the ritual was currently being upheld. Upon arrival, they saw a man who appears to have dog-like features continuing the ritual all by himself. Erza managed to knock him out by using her sword and the ritual had already been stopped
"Awesome! The moon drip should stop by now," Lucy exclaimed,
"So this guy was trying to perform the ceremony all by himself?" Iris asked, pointing at the guy
'Probably...' Auberon said,
"You're too late! The Ceremony has already been completed" The Dog-like person shouted,
And true to what he said, A large green beam shined at the exact position where the Moondrip was being performed, followed by the tremendous roar below the temple which causes the trees to shake, waves form from the seas and the roar echoes throughout the rest of the island.
"So loud!" Iris shouted, covering both of her ears
'We need to get to Deliora before it starts rampaging throughout the island' Auberon said while using his magic on both of his ears
Everyone agreed with Auberon's order, But before they could do it. Deliora's roar started to die down until it became silent and the lower levels of the temple started to drain out large amounts of water.
"What's going on down there?" Lucy asked, looking down below
"Looks like the temple is draining out the water within the lower levels," Iris explained,
'Then we better get down there and Investigate, Cause I have a hunch Natsu and Gray are down there as well' Auberon said,
And that they did, After descended to the lower levels of the temple. Auberon's hunch was correct, Natsu was seen and waved at Lucy and Happy approached him. But when he turned around and saw Erza. He panicked and tried to run away, but she prevented him from doing so by grabbing him by the back of his collar
Gray is seen helping Lyon back into his feet while Iris and Auberon approached the two.
"Where's Deliora?" Iris asked, looking around.
Gray stayed silent for a moment, then smiled to himself "Ur saved us all" He said,
Iris and Auberon at Gray's words and knew what he meant as they smiled at the Ice-Make Wizard. As it turns out, While Deliora was sealed away for ten long years. The Demon's Life Force continued to drain out from its body until it withered away into nothing more but a dead husk at the end.
And with the Demon of Destruction deceased from this world. Peace was brought upon the people who suffered from its chaotic wraith.
This is all I can manage for today and the Next Chapter will come out sometime in my summer break or maybe even earlier than that. Until then, I'll see you all very soon
