Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Chapter 108 Moon Temple

Galna Island.

Without waiting for Urutia's message, Henia quickly took Juvia and went ahead to Galna Island.

Karna Island is shaped like a crescent moon, hence it is also known as the "Moon Island". Karna Island is also a natural gathering place of lunar magic.

Henia arrived early, partly with the intention of exploring the magic of the moon.

However, it was still daytime when he and Juvia arrived on the island, and they would have to wait until night to explore the magic of the moon.

"Lord Henia, since you're going to explore the secrets of Karna Island, why not ask the island's natives for information?"

After successfully climbing a small hill, Juvia also saw the island's plains and the buildings with their unique exotic style.

Henia followed Juvia's gaze and looked at the islanders whose faces were full of sorrow and who were hiding their faces. She explained softly, "These islanders are currently suffering from memory and cognitive impairment due to the side effects of the special magic 'Moon Drops.' Even if you ask them, you won't get the correct information."

To learn more, we still need to explore the temple ruins on the island ourselves.

By the way, the islanders here are no ordinary people.

"Do they possess some kind of terrifying magic?" Juvia asked.

"The islanders of Karna Island are a genuine demon race."

"?demon?!"

After spending a long time with Henia, Juvia learned quite a bit about the secrets of their world from Henia.

For example, dragons, or the demons in the Book of Zeref.

"Don't worry, it's different from the demons in the Book of Zeref, which were created solely for pure destruction and slaughter."

The demon islanders of Galna Island are actually a very kind race.

Henia continued to explain, but Juvia's worries hadn't completely subsided, and she couldn't help but move even closer to Henia.

After a brief stop at the top of the hill, Henia and Juvia quickly found the ruins of the island's temple, the Temple of Luna.

However, just as they approached the vicinity of the Moon Temple, the two were attacked by a giant rat.

Of course, given Henia's current strength, this level of sneak attack poses no threat whatsoever.

After quickly dealing with the giant rat, Henia, along with Juvia, used the magical traces on the rat to find Leon and his group in the Temple of the Moon.

Then, before Leon could react, they were all defeated by Henia and imprisoned in an empty room inside the Temple of the Moon by a cage constructed of water-shaped magic.

"Who are these people?"

Juvia looked at Leon, who was desperately trying to freeze the water cage with Ice Shape magic but to no avail, and asked with a look of disgust.

"A bunch of idiots who were fooled by Urutia."

Although its power is limited, the "Moon Drops" spell is still quite good.

Henia looked at the Moon Drops grimoire in his hand, which he had just seized from Leon and the others, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The Moon Drop, this is a magic that is said to be able to dispel all magic."

Is it really that amazing?

"Who knows? Let's try it tonight."

Henia and Juvia chatted and laughed as they walked towards the bottom of the Moon Temple, exchanging questions and answers.

There also lies a Zeref Book demon, Deliora, frozen in ice.

Leon and the others watched this scene with extreme grief and indignation, but there was nothing they could do.

In the underground cave at the bottom of the Temple of the Moon.

Juvia stared at the enormous, frozen demon before her. Even though she already knew that Deliora had been sealed away, she couldn't help but fall into fear and panic.

Just then, Henia's warm hand on her shoulder successfully brought Juvia back to her senses from her brief moment of unease.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an ordinary Book of Zeref demon that's been frozen in ice."

It's not those powerful beings.

Moreover, Deliora has now been stripped of almost all of his power and life by the ice seal around his body.

The current Deliora is just an empty shell.

Henia patiently explained to Juvia, though his tone carried a hint of disappointment and regret.

He had intended to try and extract some demonic power from the sealed Deliora.

It seems he underestimated the power of Uru's Absolute Freeze magic.

Henia could clearly sense that there was no longer any demonic power within Deliora in front of her.

"However, Absolute Freeze, a spell that comes at the cost of life, is rather interesting."

After a moment's hesitation, Henia left Juvia alone for the time being, while he leaped directly to the massive ice block that had frozen Deliora.

Absolute Freeze is a forbidden magic that transforms the caster's own body into extremely cold ice, sealing and continuously eroding the life force of the sealed target.

This is a powerful magic created by Uru that allows one to exchange one's life for another.

What Henia valued was not the absolute freezing power of the extreme cold seal, but rather the more fundamental aspect of this forbidden magic: its application of life force.

The life force of one is converted into magic, and then this magic is used to deprive and erode the life force of the other.

If used properly, Henia might be able to obtain a forbidden magic that allows the conversion between life force, magic, and magical power.

He might even have a chance to make contact with Ankhseram, the god who cursed Zeref.

Of course, Henia cannot reach that realm simply by achieving absolute freezing.

He still needs to collect more forbidden magic like this.

After silently memorizing the unique flow of magic within the massive block of ice formed by absolute ice in front of her, Henia returned to Juvia's side.

The two then left the underground cave at the bottom and began to explore the temple interior, searching for the remaining ancient records and fragmented murals.

Most of the ancient records in the Temple of the Moon are about the worship of the sacred moon's magic by the early inhabitants of Karna Island, various special worship rituals, and some basic applications of the sacred moon's magic.

The entire Temple of the Moon was built to more efficiently accumulate a large amount of lunar magic.

The word "demon" does not appear in almost all murals and fragmented ancient texts.

This clearly confirms another of Henia's guesses.

The demon inhabitants of Galna Island are not native to the island; they migrated from elsewhere.

The temple did not record the reason for the relocation or the approximate time, and it is very likely that the demon residents came to Galna Island after the temple was abandoned.

However, Henia did not find any records of the current demon inhabitants of Galna Island in the Temple of the Moon.

But in a very secluded secret room, he discovered another special mural.

Under the full moon's glow, a gigantic creature resembling a nine-tailed fox is receiving worship and offerings from the worshippers of the Moon Goddess Temple.

At a glance, Henia recognized who the nine-tailed fox in the mural was.

Luna Dragon, Selene.
