Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Erza frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Is it because you're stronger? I remember that the more powerful the Dragon Slayer Magic, the greater the side effects."

Henna shook his head, sat down on a nearby stone stool, and took a few deep breaths.

He said, "I'm not entirely sure, but... this damn flaw absolutely has to be fixed!"

"Even a vehicle specially designed for Dragon Slayer mages can't completely rid you of your dizziness?"

Erza looked at Black Natsu with some concern.

Henaz waved his hand in response.

"After I pass the test this time, I'll have to go to the library."

"There are many books stored there; hopefully, they can help me find a way to combat dizziness."

"Research? You really are a lot like her; you're both the kind of people who love to explore the truth."

Erza made a sudden, inexplicable remark.

[Honatsu slowly raised his head, his deep gaze fixed on Erza, and remained silent for a moment.]

[Changing the subject: "By the way, let's rest in the village for a while first, then set off this afternoon. We should be able to reach Magnonia today."]

Erza, oblivious to what was happening, nodded slightly.

[Then they walked into the village together.]

The entire village was very different from the town where the two had previously lived.

The houses, built entirely of stone, are the dominant color scheme here.

Although not luxurious, it is very clean.

The streets weren't very lively, but there were still people walking around.

[And occasionally, there were bursts of vendors' cries.]

The village appeared quite peaceful.

The two found an open-air tea stall. Although it was supposed to sell tea, it also sold food.

Shortly after we sat down, tea, snacks, and other refreshments were served.

The two, already quite hungry, immediately began to eat.

For the two Dragon Slayer Mages, eating was a sacred act.

Or rather, it's something that cannot be disturbed.

But today seemed to be an exception; the murmurs from other seats attracted Erza and Henna's attention.

"Hey, have you heard? The demon inside the church has come out."

"Huh? They're out? That can't be right! Doesn't the church have a sacred seal?"

"Yeah, yeah, and if the demons really come out, will we still be able to live here peacefully? We'd probably be corpses by now, wouldn't we?"

"Oh dear! You all don't know this."

"It's all because of those three orphans on the east side of the village."

"It's said that they entered the church last night, and then the eerie sounds from the church disappeared."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"Ugh, what's so great about it! Let me tell you, this morning, someone discovered that the leader of the orphans' group has turned into a demon's arm!"

"It looks like they're possessed by a demon. It could erupt at any moment. Everyone who knows about this is terrified and wants to drive those orphans out of the village."

Orphan? Demon?

Erza and HyunAz, sitting on the platform, exchanged a glance.

"A demon..." Erza narrowed her eyes slightly.

[Seemingly quite interested, he said to Henna, "How about we go take a look later?"]

……

……

at the same time.

On the other side of this continent.

Anna was walking briskly toward a village that was so ordinary it couldn't be more ordinary.

As Anna stepped through the village gates, a ripple of light appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Anna's gaze also changed dramatically.

The peaceful village has completely vanished.

In its place lies a vast and boundless world.

On the earth's surface, countless tall and magnificent buildings have been constructed.

Countless enormous dragons soared in the sky.

Not far from Anna was a huge square.

In the square, a towering statue, hundreds of meters tall, stands in the center.

Anna recognized the statue; it was the statue of her most prized disciple.

Without any hesitation, Anna headed toward the magnificent palace in front of the square.

Not long after, I met the person I wanted to see on this trip.

"How are you doing, Anna-sensei? How's Natsu... lately?"

“It’s good, but… isn’t there something wrong with this?” Anna said to the man.

"Something's not right? There's nothing wrong with it."

"Erza! Erza has already reached the outside world, didn't you know?"

"In fact, she's right next to Natsu right now!"

The man's tone even wavered slightly.

"Erza???"

Chapter 115 This Demon is No Simpleton!

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna looked somewhat uneasy.

village,

church,

demon,

These words seemed to evoke their memories.

Lisanna: "This...could it be the incident from when we were kids?"

Mirajane: "It must be. I still can't forget what happened back then."

Elfman: "Looking back now, I was really cowardly back then. Even though my sister was being bullied so badly, I could only hide behind her."

"You're really useless!"

Lisanna: "Brother Elfman, don't blame yourself. We were all young back then."

Mirajane: "That's right, you were just a little kid back then, what could you possibly know?"

"Now that all of this is in the past, there's no need to dwell on it anymore."

On a small path in the village.

A figure was walking ahead, occasionally introducing the two people following behind.

"We don't know when that church has been there."

"Anyway, the church has been there as far back as I can remember, every night..."

"Then, incessant muttering would emanate from the church, bringing nightmares to the villagers."

The person who led the way was a young man from the teahouse earlier.

Because Erza and Hanatsu were curious about the demon incident inside the church, after learning that the two were mages, the mages offered to show them.

Of course, Henna also knew the young man's purpose.

More importantly, they hoped that they could completely eliminate the demons within the church.

So, he couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you thought about issuing some kind of request to have mages solve this problem?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's face showed a hint of shame.

He scratched his head and said, "To be honest, our village simply can't afford the entrusted funds."
