Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 259 LULLABY (Please subscribe!)
Upon entering the mountains, everything seemed normal.

Lush wild forests like these are incredibly abundant in the Kingdom of Fiore.

With its vast territory and sparse population, lack of strong productivity, and absence of a powerful government, even with the efforts of several generations, the people of the Kingdom of Fiore might not be able to develop the entire kingdom.

Therefore, it is still necessary to absorb more people.

"Chirp!"

From the dense, towering trees, the sounds of insects and birds filled the air as Moen's crows patrolled the sky, searching for any suspicious targets.

However, due to the dense thicket, this method was not very effective, and could only determine whether there were any large, strange buildings or phenomena. After the crows circled around for a long time, Moen sent them deep into the jungle to roam back and forth.

The night was dark, but that wasn't a problem for the crows. On the ground, Moen and Mirajane carried torches and moved forward. The two were quite carefree, their main goal being to attract attention.

Finding suspicious targets in these mountains and forests is quite difficult; it's much easier to get the suspicious targets to come to you on their own.

Skilled and daring, the two were not afraid of being ambushed by the "demon" and openly ventured deeper into the mountains and forests.

Why would it hide here?

Mira was somewhat puzzled. These demons were all madmen, with only the desire for destruction in their hearts. Whenever news of demons appeared, it was often accompanied by massacres and news of towns being destroyed. It was really rare to see one that had been hiding in the mountains all this time.

"Perhaps he's not feeling well?"

Moen didn't quite understand either, mainly because he hadn't encountered many demons, and there weren't many descriptions of these demons in various books. It just so happened that Xiang Retis had returned to "Azure Pegasus," so he couldn't even look up some related information in that database.

'This ability to summon celestial spirits should really be put to use. If my apprentices could also forcibly summon celestial spirits, they could directly use them to remotely transmit messages. Unfortunately, most celestial spirits can't open portals on their own, so they're unqualified as messengers.'
Moen thought to himself that he still had to develop the "magic phone" as soon as possible. This was almost becoming an obsession for Moen, and the research master, Warren, would urge him on it all the time.

"Gah!!!"

While Moen and Mira were using themselves as bait to lure demons into attacking them in the forest, the crows flying around made a discovery. They found a cave with strong magical fluctuations that looked very suspicious.

"Even if it's not a demon, it could be a powerful magical beast. Shall we go take a look?"

Moen immediately decided to go and take a look.

"it is good."

Mira didn't hesitate and followed Moen closely. She knew that with Moen there, there wouldn't be any danger.

The two hurried over to the cave the crows had discovered. A dozen crows were scattered around the cave, keeping a close watch on it to make sure the creature inside wouldn't simply run away.

"go."

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, Moen did not rush in. He first sent Raven in to scout out the way and see what was inside. The cave was not large, and it was quite difficult for the two of them to squeeze in. It was clearly not the cave of any large creature.

"Gah!!!"

The two crows flew directly into the dark cave, where the moonlight and starlight could not penetrate.

"This ability is truly amazing."

Although it wasn't the first time Mira had seen Moen manipulate these crows, she still found it very strange. After all, such an ability was truly rare, and she had never heard of any magic that could control beasts.

If one had to categorize it, "receiving magic" would barely qualify as one, as it involves converting the power of magical beasts, animals, and demons into one's own.

"Celestial Spirit Magic" can also be considered "beast taming" to some extent, except that it "tames" celestial spirits rather than beasts. If you think about it that way, it's not so strange that Moen can control crows.

After all, this is also Celestial Magic, and it's an even more powerful "new-style Celestial Magic," with functions far exceeding those of previous Celestial Magic.

“As expected, there are magical beasts.” Moen suddenly spoke, interrupting Mira’s thoughts. The girl looked at Moen with a slight disappointment in her eyes, because it was just a magical beast, not their target demon.

"Roar!"

Provoked by the two crows, the monster in the cave became agitated and chased after them out.

This is a humanoid monster, with a messy and unkempt appearance, resembling a goat monster, with horns like withered branches on its head, and exuding an eerie aura.

Moen and Mira immediately recognized the source of this strange magic.

"It's the devil!"

This magical beast was surrounded by the aura of a demon, but it was not a demon; it simply seemed to be tainted by that evil dark magic.

"Alright, alright, I've finally found you."

Moen smiled, his gaze falling on the right hand of the humanoid goat monster, where a flute was held in its strange right paw.

"LULLABY" is, on the surface, a magic flute with a skull topped with three eyes, exactly the same as the magic flute in the beast's hand.

"Is this the demon?"

Mira looked suspicious. Although this magical beast looked a lot like a demon, its strength was indeed weak. It was howling at the two of them, but the magical energy fluctuations on its body were only average.

"No, that flute is the real one, the legendary Lullaby."

Moen shook his head slightly and pointed to the flute that the magical beast was tightly clutching in its hand. The flute did not look like an ordinary flute.

"LULLABY? Curse magic? Is it a demon?"

Mirajane's expression showed even greater surprise.

She had obviously heard of the curse magic "LULLABY," but she never expected that it was actually a demon.

In the past, there have been instances of "LULLABY" causing disasters, but records only describe it as an inanimate object, a flute capable of releasing terrifying "cursing magic," and there is really no record of it being a demon.

Mira stared intently at the flute, trying to discern its activity, but she couldn't see anything amiss; it simply looked like a flute.

"Whoosh!"

Moen raised his hand and a bright red rose shot out. The "Royal Magic Palace Rose," wrapped in star magic, pierced the monster's head, creating a large hole in it.

"Pfft."

The monster fell to the ground, easily dealt with, and the flute it was clutching in its hand rolled away.

"."

Mira looked at the flute with a wary expression.

"Now how to do?"

Mira asked, "The flute still seems obedient, without any unusual behavior. If it really is a demon, it's quite good at pretending, not reacting at all to the current situation."

"This disguised demon always thinks it can bewitch everyone who possesses it."

Moen smiled and walked straight to the flute. To be honest, he could probably guess what Lullaby was thinking.
