Kapitel 57: Chapter 57 : Who did it?
"Truly... is it really?"
"Then why do they claim to be human?!"
Kyros pondered, "I suppose it's the prolonged exposure to the purple moonlight that clouded their judgment. After all, demons are demons. The moon drop's purifying effect should have kept them restrained."
"That explains why Lyon and the others are unaffected."
Suddenly, a figure approached.
"Remarkable! You mages are truly benevolent. Thank you."
"B...Bobo..." The demon village chief exclaimed joyously at the sight of the approaching figure.
"Ghost!!" Lucy exclaimed in horror, clutching "Happy" tightly.
"Isn't that Uncle Boatman?!"
Gray recognized the face, despite its demonic form, unmistakably the ferryman.
"Eh? Eh? You're not..."
The ferryman interjected, "Just a stab to the chest. Demons are resilient, but everyone mistook them for humans. It's a tragedy, which is why I had to leave the island alone."
"I apologize for not revealing the truth earlier. I feared you would flee upon learning it."
Lucy thought to herself, Of course we would! The entire village is teeming with demons, it's terrifying.
After the ferryman finished explaining, the village chief and his son reunited, the curse lifted, and the village erupted into celebration with feasting and revelry.
Though the appearance of demons may be unsettling, several among them sensed that fundamentally, these demons were not much different from humans, aside from their outward form.
[Ding! Automatic sign-in successful!]
[Sign-in location: Galuna Island]
[Reward: 10 free attribute points!]
The system prompt echoed in Kyros's mind.
Kyros furrowed his brows, sensing that the potential of this place was nearly depleted.
But it's alright; he could piece it back together.
[Super Template System]
[Host: Kyros]
[Observation Haki: 200 (Elementary)]
[Armanent Haki: 500 (Intermediate)]
[Conqueror's Haki: 4000 (Peak)]
[Physical Skills: 0]
[Devil Fruit: Fish-Fish Fruit, Model, Azure Dragon Form (Activated Human Form) requires 5000 points to unlock the next form.]
[Special Constitution: 47%]
[Remaining attribute points: 100]
Studying the system panel, Kyros pondered where to allocate the 100 points.
Physical prowess is no longer the sole determining factor; it may undergo a qualitative change of several thousand points, but presently, it holds little significance.
The same applies to Observation Haki. Two hundred points are sufficient. If you can evade on the first day, you can't evade on the fifteenth. If you can't defeat it, you can't defeat it.
The choices are limited to Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
Armament Haki appears to integrate both external and internal aura, while Conqueror's Haki seems akin to telekinesis, each possessing distinct characteristics. However, in terms of potency, there's no doubt that Conqueror's Haki reigns supreme.
Armament Haki leans towards defense, still 500 points away from reaching its pinnacle. The apex level of Armament Haki remains incredibly enticing.
Nevertheless, Kyros pondered and allocated the additional 100 attribute points to Conqueror's Haki. Her physical defense is already substantial, so focusing on offense seems prudent. As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense.
"System, allocate all 100 attribute points to Conqueror's Haki."
[Ding! Allocation successful!]
Conqueror's Haki has now reached 4100 points, and the special physique category has also surged by 48%.
Kyros distinctly felt her body grow even more robust, signaling the need for ample nutrition and energy, prompting her to immediately indulge in food and drink.
Approaching the 5000-point mark, she wondered whether it would trigger the Azure Dragon form or the Dragon Human form.
The following morning, Kyros returned to the guild with a few companions.
Magnolia Town.
"We're back!"
"You're back!"
"Happy" sighed and remarked, "Alas! I completed the task, but all I got was a key."
Kyros chuckled, "No regrets now, right?"
Declining the villagers' offer of a reward, Kyros reasoned that it wasn't an official task, thus accepting only the Zodiac keys as compensation.
"Indeed! Seven million Jewels, enough to cover rent for years. What a waste," Lucy lamented, eyeing the Zodiac key greedily.
Gray grumbled, "You're the only one profiting, and you didn't even help."
Despite his defeat against Lyon, it was still a battle. "Happy" assisted Natsu against the other three opponents, while Lucy merely tagged along without contributing.
Lucy hummed softly, feigning ignorance to the conversation.
"Happy," said, "sell the keys."
Lucy's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you say? You thieving cat!"
"As I've mentioned before, there are only 12 keys to the zodiac signs in this world, and they are exceedingly precious."
Natsu turned his head, his expression skeptical. "The cow and the maid?"
As teammates, Natsu and Happy had witnessed the Celestial Spirits of the Zodiac summoned by Lucy. Their strength left much to be desired.
Gritting her teeth, Lucy retorted, "With enough practice, my Celestial Spirits will surpass you!"
"Then I'll be waiting!"
"Just you wait!"
They strolled towards the guild, engaged in banter.
Those they passed on the road couldn't help but avoid them, murmuring softly as they hid. Kyros furrowed his brows, sensing an ominous aura.
Upon arriving at the Fairy Tail guild, they were greeted with a scene of chaos.
"What's going on... The guild looks different..."
"Huh? What... what happened?"
"This is... our guild..."
The Fairy Tail guild lay in ruins, its signboard shattered and thick iron pillars piercing through its structure.
Suddenly, the ground of Magnolia Town trembled.
A voice, seething with anger, rang out, "Who's responsible for this?"
