Chapter 74: Reading Memory
Ace looks to be several hundred years old, and he claims to be a member of Klaue's tribe.
According to him, the history of their clan can even be traced back to the great war between gods and demons a thousand years ago. At that time, there appeared a demon , the Sea Demon King.
"The war between gods and demons? There seems to be no relevant records!" Erza pondered.
Lucy also said: "Indeed, most of are no more than 800 years old. Even the legendary age of dragons was only 400 years ago."
The Sea Demon King was sealed by the Ice God in the battle with the gods. Then, his people were purged by the forces of the gods and the humans who followed the gods. After a massacre, there were only a few sea demons left. The remaining demons left their homes and hid in various parts of the world.
Hundreds of years later, gods and demons all lost their power, and the continent became the territory of humans and dragons. The demons of the sea monster clan were unwilling to fail, so they gathered together again, trying to revive their long-lost king and take control of the continent.
After spending decades, the descendants of the Sea Demon clan used the magic left by the Moon Goddess, the Moon Drop, which they stole during the war between gods and demons, to successfully lift the seal of the Ice God and resurrect their leader, the Sea Demon King.
Unfortunately, after the resurrection, the Sea Devil lost his legendary wisdom and strength, and turned into a ferocious beast that only knew how to kill, and even attacked his descendants who resurrected him.
The resurrection of the Sea Devil had not caused any new unrest before it was quelled by another powerful human. It was rumored that the man was a descendant of the Ice God, who failed to kill the Sea Devil after fighting with him, so he used the magic left by the Ice God to freeze it absolutely and seal it again.
"Moon Drop, Absolute Freeze... these two magics again!!" Kira complained, "Really! Gray, it seems that you are really destined to be with these two magics."
Gray: “Tsk…”
"Perhaps Uru is also the descendant of this lineage..."
Erza, Natsu and the others didn't know yet, so they asked, "What kind of magic is that?"
"I'll tell you later, now listen to me..."
After it was resealed, the descendants of the Ice God were responsible for guarding the body of the Sea Devil and lived in seclusion deep in the Zonia Mountains, which is now the Isisnew clan.
One hundred years ago, Ace found out about the Sea Devil King from somewhere. In order to revive the Sea Devil King and use its power to restore the glory of the Sea Devil clan, he searched everywhere for his kind with the same bloodline.
At Ace's invitation, the naive and bad-tempered Klaue readily agreed and became one of the supporters of the "Sea King Resurrection Plan."
Before her, the team had already been joined by Snow Demon Sinuo, Mist Demon Fog, and Water Demon Watt. She was the last one and the youngest among them.
At this point, Kira slammed the table in indignation: "Really, a heartless and black-hearted uncle abducted a simple girl who was inexperienced in the world. It really makes people cry and feel sad. This kind of person... this kind of demon should be beaten to death!!"
Everyone: “…”
According to Ace's original plan, in order to revive the Sea Demon King and successfully rule over humans, they also had to eliminate the Ashisnew clan who had the magic to exterminate demons. However, they found that only a few families were left on the other side, so they put the plan on hold for the time being.
A few years ago, Yin's unexpected arrival directly seized the Demon-Exterminating Technique, and they no longer paid attention to the remaining Isisnu clan.
"So, that man stole your magic, but didn't take responsibility for your clan! How shameful!"
Poole, Winter: "..."
Kira pointed at Natsu and the others and said, "You should take this as a warning and never do such things in the future!"
"We won't do that!"
"That's right, you're the only one who would do something like this, Kira!"
"What did you say?! Am I that kind of person?" Kira was a little unconvinced and stood up to fight.
Hearing that they were about to start arguing again, Erza got furious. Kira was always so frivolous. He could be distracted so many times while telling information. Couldn't he be more serious?
"Kira! Keep talking about their purpose!"
"All right……"
After a long period of accumulation, they finally got enough Moon Drops from the black market and prepared to revive the Sea Demon King tomorrow. The reason for choosing this time is that there will be a special astronomical phenomenon on this day, a solar eclipse, which can make the power of the Sea Demon clan reach its peak.
Afterwards, Kira explained to a few guys who didn't know what "Absolute Freeze" and "Moon Drop" were, and briefly explained what had happened on Karna Island before.
Kira shook his head: "It will take decades to rely on the black market. I remember last time on Karna Island, Leon said it took him ten years. Oh, I really don't know who to pity for a moment..."
Judging from efficiency alone, Leon is faster, but demons have long lifespans, so decades are nothing to them.
Kira thought that Leon probably didn't know that the "Moon Drop" could be purchased on the black market, otherwise he would have bought it directly. But then he thought again, even if he knew, did he really have the money to buy it?
Leon, who is not here: "Aqiu!..."
By the way, where did these demons get their money... Oh, they are demons, so they might have just robbed someone.
Kira's impression of demons became even worse. He hated people who bought things without paying the most.
Gray expressed his doubts: "Since it is absolutely frozen, after such a long time, no matter how strong this Sea Devil King is, he should be dead by now!"
Is the Sea Demon King dead in the absolute freeze? This is indeed a question worth pondering.
Kira thought about it and felt that things might not be that simple: "Magic is constantly evolving with the times. After all, it happened so long ago. No one can be sure that the absolute freezing performed by the Isisnu tribesman at that time reached the level that Uru used to seal Deliora."
Erza shook her head and said, "Not entirely. You said that Absolute Freeze is a life-threatening magic. Such a profound and costly magic is generally difficult to improve! In other words, even if the two eras are separated by hundreds of years, the gap in the magic of Absolute Freeze is not as big as imagined."
"That makes sense," Kira nodded in agreement. "One more thing, a guy who can survive in the seal of God for hundreds of years and live until the seal is broken without dying can never be overestimated."
Kira and Erza analyzed the possible development of the situation one by one, while the others were drinking and chatting in their own places. Cana, in particular, was drinking happily with the uncle in the bar, and the bar became lively.
The people of Fairy Tail are like this. Wherever they are, there is always noise and bustle.
At this moment, everyone forgot about responsibilities and obligations, gods and demons, magic and commissions, bets and punishments, and just happily drank and had a party.
Only Klaue fainted early because Kira read his memory.
When Kira turned around by chance, he found that Winter seemed to be staring at Gray, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
