Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 50: Zeref's Demon

Because of the system's frequent "nonsense," Moen couldn't be sure whether the "LULLABY" plan was something Ericoer already had or something he would do in the future.

Most importantly, Moen doesn't even know what "LULLABY" is. A mass curse spell sounds intimidating, so it's best to eliminate this potential threat.

"Grandpa Makarov, do you know Lullaby?"

Moen decisively went to ask Grandpa Makarov for advice. He figured that if he had any questions about magic, asking his family's treasure would definitely bring a pleasant surprise.

"LULLABY? Why would you ask that?"

Makarov was somewhat surprised. What did this have to do with the "Iron Forest" guild?

Sure enough, judging from Grandpa Makarov's reaction, he clearly knew something about "LULLABY".

However, Moen was a little unsure how to answer Grandpa Makarov's question, as it was indeed quite unexpected.

"Hmm? Moen, you saw that book too? The book that records the legend of Lullaby?"

At this moment, Uncle Reinhardt chimed in, saying that while they were tidying up the "Iron Forest" guild's things, they found a book with "LULLABY" written on it, and that book was found in Erigor's room.

"Yes, that's why I'm a little curious."

Moen immediately nodded and took over the conversation.

"LULLABY... is a flute. Legend has it that anyone who plays it will be cursed to death..."

Makarov slowly began to speak, mentioning "LULLABY," a very dangerous and forbidden item.

"Curse killing is a form of black magic that is absolutely forbidden."

Moen spoke with a serious expression.

"That's right, and this Lullaby, who was modified by Zeref, is even more evil and absolutely taboo."

Makarov also looked serious.

"If this Lullaby falls into the wrong hands, it could have terrible consequences. The Magic Council has been searching for Lullaby and trying to seal it away."

Makarov knew that finding a book with the word "LULLABY" in Eric Gor's room was not a good sign.

This indicates that members of dark guilds have also set their sights on the extremely dangerous "LULLABY," intending to use her for evil purposes.

Makarov knew more about "LULLABY" than he said; he knew that it was actually a demon from the Book of Zeref, whose nature was extremely evil, and there was no possibility that anyone could use it for good.

For "LULLABY", only sealing is its final destination.

[Ding! Mission triggered!]

[Task Name: "Sealing Curse to Slay the Demon"]

Task details:

"LULLABY" is outwardly a magic flute with a skull and three eyes, but its true form is a giant withered tree demon called "Lalabai". As one of the demons created by Zeref, the "progenitor of black magic", "Lalabai" is extremely vicious and a hidden danger that must be eliminated!

Quest Progress: Defeat the demon "Lalabai" (Incomplete)

Mission Reward: Random Silver Saint Cloth.

After learning about "LULLABY" from Grandpa Makarov, Moen immediately triggered another quest.

Looking at the details of the mission, Moen couldn't help but frown.

'Is this also a demon created by Zeref?'

Moen knew a little about the name Zeref; he was the legendary "progenitor of dark magic," who created many demons that wreaked havoc everywhere and caused many tragedies.

Moen knew all this because of Gray, whose parents and mentor had all died at the hands of the demons created by Zeref.

Throughout the entire continent of Ishgar, regardless of the country, Zeref's reputation is probably similar to that of Voldemort, the noseless monster.

Zeref is the person whose name cannot be mentioned in the continent of Ishgar.

'This demon's strength seems average; the reward is a Silver Cloth, meaning that in the system's eyes, it's not as powerful as Laxus.'

Moen's basis for this judgment is very simple: changing Laxus's mindset rewards a "random Gold Cloth," while defeating this "Lalabai" rewards a "random Silver Cloth."

It's obvious that Laxus is stronger than this "Lalaba".

Of course, the accuracy of such a simplistic and crude guess is questionable.

The problem now is how to find this thing.

Defeating the cursed demon "Lalabai" shouldn't be too difficult; the real challenge is finding it.

Currently, it seems that this task can only be accomplished by luck. One can only try to pay more attention to information related to "LULLABY" in normal times and see if one can encounter it.

On the way back, Moen kept thinking about it, so much so that he forgot to pay attention to the newly received mission rewards.

The "Skill Experience Book" lay quietly in the system space. It had a red cover with the words "Skill Experience Book" written on it. It couldn't be opened to read; you could just use it directly.

When using it, you can choose which skill to apply it to. The effect is to increase the skill's proficiency by 150 points.

"..."

Moen hesitated before using it because there were too many intricacies involved.

First, this "skill experience book" does not have the prefixes "beginner," "intermediate," or "advanced." Does this mean that this "skill experience book" can be used at any stage?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a waste to use it in the initial stage?

Based on the patterns that Moen has figured out so far, the more he practices, the slower the increase in proficiency will become.

Moen glanced at the list and realized he only had two skills available.

One is [Pegasus Meteor Fist - Beginner, Proficiency: 390/500], and the other is [Clear Hands to Catch a Blade - Beginner, Proficiency: 0/500]. [Supernova Burst] is a skill of the Equuleus Bronze Cloth and cannot be upgraded.

The Pegasus Meteor Fist skill gained 10 points of proficiency after the battle with Eric Gor, a very impressive rate of increase.

Real combat is more important than hard training, a fact that Moen has already deeply felt, and the improvement brought about by fighting against strong opponents is even faster.

After much hesitation, Moen did not use the "Skill Experience Book". He was already satisfied with the current rate of increase in proficiency of Pegasus Meteor Fist, so there was no need to waste the experience book.

He hasn't started practicing unarmed combat yet, so there's no data to compare against, and he can't directly use the experience book.

'Keep it for now, we'll see how it goes before using it.'

Moen wasn't in a hurry. Besides, this thing could be used at any time and would take effect immediately. If he encountered a special situation, he could also break through on the spot and directly add a Deep Blue skill point!

The journey didn't take long before Fairy Tail returned triumphantly to their loyal city of Magnolia.

The group didn't linger at the guild; they took the "Iron Forest" dark mage directly to the Magic Council's office.

The deal is to exchange money for the person; revenge is one thing, establishing authority is another, but the bounty owed must still be collected.
