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

"A mission? Speaking of which, what brought you here? Is there anything else on this island that could attract Mavis's attention?"

[Henazu asked, somewhat curiously.]

Sera's expression turned serious when this was mentioned.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but Lady Mavis instructed me to come here and find a place called the Temple of the Moon."

"Something extraordinary is lurking somewhere!"

Outside the sky.

Hades: "Could it be... Deliora?!"

Erza: "I remember, Deliora is currently hiding in that Temple of the Moon, isn't he?"

Mirajane: "So, the Galactic Empire really has its eye on Deliora?"

Gray: "That monster... is completely incomprehensible. Could it be that, as Eileen just said, the Galactic Empire has a way to transform Deliora into some kind of... bio-weapon?"

Eileen: "Very likely. After all, the Galactic Empire's hypothetical enemy has always been Acnologia, so they might try every means to improve their strength."

"Thinking about it that way, it's not surprising that they've set their sights on Deliora."

[In the scene depicted on the celestial backdrop.]

[Henaz was already somewhat curious about the island, so he agreed to travel with Sera to explore this so-called Temple of the Moon.]

Finding a massive ancient structure on such a desolate island is not difficult.

The two quickly identified their target.

We arrived at the outer perimeter of this ancient, yet dilapidated temple.

A crescent moon hangs upside down above the main entrance of the temple.

The two exchanged a glance, then hesitated without further hesitation.

They then proceeded into the temple.

[Knock knock...]

Sera paused abruptly, touching her chest with one hand, her eyes showing surprise.

"My heartbeat... is starting to get faster!"

She raised her head and looked at Hellotz: "Young Master, I think I've encountered a problem..."

Is it serious?

Hennaz approached Sera, his gaze sweeping over her.

Sera gently shook her head: "I'm just a little taken aback."

"My heart started racing the moment I entered this temple."

"But it's actually not serious."

"It's like... the temple is rejecting me."

"Could it be because of the demon?" Black Natsu frowned, placing a hand on his chest.

[Heartbeat is normal, with no signs of acceleration.]

He looked up again and surveyed his surroundings.

The walls were mottled and riddled with holes, and moss climbed upwards along the stone.

Various unidentified symbols were engraved on the wall.

The marks of time permeate the entire temple.

One can only imagine how many years this place has existed....

"It must be the temple itself that's rejecting us."

[After a moment's thought, Hyunaz spoke.]

"But this repulsion weakens over time, so you can still feel it subtly, but it can no longer affect you."

Hearing Henna's words, Sera nodded slightly.

"I can feel it now; my racing heartbeat is returning to normal, probably because we're getting used to each other."

“Never mind, I can keep going,” Sera said.

Henna didn't hesitate, and the two continued walking forward.

Halfway there, Henna twitched his nose slightly.

A familiar scent lingered all around.

That's the scent of Lucy, Gray, and the others.

Clearly, Gray and the others arrived here not long ago.

[That's true. After all, we're investigating the strange phenomena on Karna Island, so this temple is absolutely essential.]

Following the scent, Black Natsu's gaze moved forward, and soon he saw a huge crater in the floor not far ahead.

The presence of Gray and the others lingered at the cave entrance, ceasing its advance.

It's obvious... these guys fell down...

Hyunaz's lips twitched.

Turning to Sera, he warned, "Be careful. Because so much time has passed, many parts here are quite weak. Don't fall."

Sera gave Henna an OK sign.

The two cautiously and slowly moved forward.

Beyond this grand hall, directly in front of Black Natsu and the others, lay a corridor.

The corridor wasn't too narrow; it could easily accommodate at least two people passing by.

Driven by a spirit of exploration, the two continued forward.

The corridor was dimly lit, and the walls were adorned with various stone carvings.

Some of them look...like monstrous demons!

Some of them look like they belong to angels, pure and holy; these carvings seem to tell a story.

"These words..."

Sera frowned as she looked at the remaining writing on the wall, aside from the stone statues.

After studying it for a while, he turned his head bitterly to look at Henna.

"I don't understand it at all."

"Let me see. I also have some knowledge of ancient 4.3 script."

[Henaz wasn't wrong. After all, he had studied a great deal of magic, and the essence of magic often dates back to ancient times, so understanding these texts was essential.]

Soon, Henna stepped forward, his gaze falling upon the crooked and illegible characters.

"A war between black and white... ice and snow and night... celestial maidens and celestial maidens, gods... and gods?!"

Hyunaz's expression gradually turned serious.

After looking at her for a while, he turned his head and looked at Sera.

"What's wrong, young master?"

Have you heard... the story of the White Fairy and the Black Fairy?

Henna swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

He said in a low voice.

"The Black and White Celestial Maidens? I've heard of them. Isn't that a long-standing folk tale?"

At this point, Sera suddenly remembered the words Black Natsu had just uttered!

[His pupils suddenly contracted!]

[“Could it be…”]
