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

But... after the light faded, the villagers who had been forced to become demons did not return to their original state.

Countless people looked on in astonishment.

"This... hasn't changed?" Gray asked, puzzled.

"No!" came Black Natsu's voice from not far away.

Henna, who had already descended from the watchtower, stepped forward and approached the group.

He crossed his arms and his gaze swept over the villagers one by one.

"They've returned to normal, or rather... the evil aura's effect wasn't on their appearance, but on their memories!"

[Henazu said.]

"Memory?" Lucy blinked.

"The idea that memories turn into demonic experiences at night is actually incorrect."

Honez's words sent a chill down Lucy's spine, and she took two steps back.

"So... if that's the case..."

"It's exactly what you think," Hanaz replied affirmatively.

"Huh??" Lucy was startled.

Nearby, the villagers exchanged glances, their hazy memories gradually becoming clearer after Henna's words.

"It seems...that's indeed the case..."

A villager looked at his palm and asked with some confusion.

[Henaz continued to explain:]

"Actually, they originally possessed the ability to transform into humans, but due to the Moon Drop, their memories became distorted, or rather, confused."

"Logically speaking, this kind of memory confusion is uncontrollable; that is to say, each person's confused memories will not be the same."

"Initially, there might only be one or two people exhibiting this phenomenon, but as they begin to spread the word..."

"Furthermore, as time goes on, more and more people begin to believe that they were originally human, and thus, this false memory becomes increasingly ingrained."

"Furthermore, the influence of the Moon Drops completely solidified the memories of everyone in the entire village."

[At this point, Lucy had a new question.]

"But... Leon and the others are perfectly fine!"

"Because they are originally human. Humans and demons... well... or rather, the original demons have different ways of thinking, which leads to this discrepancy."

[Henazu said.]

"So...that's how it is?" Lucy said, understanding dawning on her.

"It seems coming to you was definitely the right decision!" Just then, a voice rang out.

Lucy and the others turned around and were immediately startled!

【"ghost??"】

"Isn't that... the guy who sailed the boat before??" Gray stared at Popo in disbelief.

"So, the village chief's son who was executed??" Happy looked completely bewildered.

"Bo...Bobo..." The village chief stared blankly at the familiar figure.

"You weren't already..." A villager looked at Bobo in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Bobo scratched his head and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, so what if you were stabbed in the chest? As a demon, your self-healing ability is very strong. This is nothing at all."

With that, he unfurled his demon wings and soared into the sky.

"See? We really are demons, Daddy."

"Bo...Bobo..." She looked at her son, who had reappeared before her.

The village chief could no longer bear it, and he spread his wings and flew towards Bobo in the sky.

The father and son embraced each other in mid-air.

"Haha, Dad, you're finally back to normal!"

At this moment, the villagers' memories were finally cleared completely, and one by one they tentatively spread their wings and took to the sky.

[Subsequently, he became increasingly adept at it.]

The feeling of flying again thrilled everyone, and laughter and cheers filled the sky.

"So this... is Devil's Island!" Lucy exclaimed, seemingly no longer afraid.

"Aren't you scared anymore?" Mirajane asked Lucy with a smile.

Lucy shook her head: "Perhaps it's seeing everyone's smiles, everyone's freedom, that makes me suddenly feel..."

"Rather than calling them demons, they're more like angels!"

HyunA and Erza exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.

"By the way, I've always wondered why they can't get close to the ruins?"

Erza seemed to have thought of something and whispered something in Hello's ear.

[“Even though we are both demons, how come we are able to get close to that ruin?”]

Chapter 216 The Shattered Guild, the Ruler of Spectre

Yes, if the demons of Karna Island are unable to approach because of their demonic nature...

Then why are Honez, Erza, and even Mirajane, who also has a demon residing in her body, able to get close to them?

Even the immortal demon Deliora can exist within the ruins.

What exactly is going on?

Even the people outside the canopy were somewhat confused.

[In the sky.]

Seeing Erza's question, Honez turned and smiled slightly.

"Do you remember what the dancer once said?"

"The ruins primarily attract magical beasts or demons that lack consciousness but possess immense power."

"And clearly, these demons don't meet the criteria."

"They possess sentience, but their strength is weak. Allowing them into the ruins would not benefit the dancer. Therefore, I believe she must have set up a selection barrier."

"The fact that weaker but intelligent demons are filtered out is why these demons cannot approach the ruins."

At this point, Henatsu paused slightly.

"As for us, do you remember the primordial demons I just emphasized?"

Erza nodded.

"Strictly speaking, the Ether Demons are a different species from these native demons. The Ether Demons possess most of the advantages of demons, as well as most of the advantages of humans."

"This newborn creature was something even the dancers hadn't anticipated, therefore the restriction had no effect on us. However, as fellow demons, we could see that spatial corridor."

After listening to Honez's explanation, Erza nodded in understanding.

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense."

"What are you talking about?"

Just then, Mirajane approached, his suspicious gaze sweeping over the two of them.

He frowned slightly.

Mirajane decisively stepped between Honatsu and Erza.

"Stop muttering, they're hosting a banquet and have invited us."

"It's a devil's feast!"

As he spoke, Mirajane grabbed Henna's elbow and walked away.

Erza raised an eyebrow.

Then, he frowned and said, "This guy..."

Without hesitation, Erza quickly followed.
