Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 24: Gerald and Wendy

"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"

"boom!"

Magic clung to his gauntlets, and Morn unleashed a powerful punch, instantly knocking a towering horned lizard to the ground.

This horned lizard is actually a humanoid monster, a lizard that stands upright with a single horn on its head, and is at least two meters tall.

Its abdomen had few scales, and when Moen punched it, its internal organs shifted, causing its body to hunch over and tremble uncontrollably on the ground, clearly rendering it incapable of fighting.

Moen didn't let the monster suffer for long. He wrapped his arms around the monster's neck and twisted it sharply. With a "crack," the tormented horned lizard finally found its release.

"Slap! Slap!"

Moen patted his "Equus Bronze Cloth" on his body. The cloth was as clean as new, and the sea-blue cloth shimmered slightly.

Wearing this bronze armor with excellent coverage will save him a lot of trouble in this forest. For example, he only needs to pay attention to the parts not covered by the armor, such as mosquito bites.

Furthermore, the Saint Cloths have automatic repair and cleaning functions. If they get stained with blood, dust, or anything else, they can be cleaned by simply putting them in the Saint Cloth Box, which is incredibly convenient and hassle-free.

"Click!"

Moen picked up the lizard's "demon horn" and plucked it off, then threw it into his bag. There were already thirteen horns in the bag, symbolizing that thirteen lizards had fallen victim to its cruelty.

The thirteen demon horned lizards and the other magical beasts I've taken down in the last couple of days have significantly improved Moen's proficiency with "Pegasus Meteor Fist." It's true that real combat is the fastest way to improve.

"Gurgle!"

As Moen ripped off the "demon horns," some strange noises caught his attention.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

Moen fastened the small bag and put it on his back, looking towards the source of the sound. He thought the voice sounded like a human, not like some kind of wild animal.

"Oops~ I've been found out... Sorry, Gerald."

Sure enough, human voices came from the bushes, and soon a man and a woman emerged.

These are two blue-haired children. The boy is not short, but his hair is lighter in color. He looks about the same age as Moen. The girl is much younger, looking to be only four or five years old. She is very cute and looks adorable.

"Sorry, we were just passing by."

A boy with short, sky-blue hair stepped forward and spoke. He had a tattoo on his right cheek that covered almost half of his face, resembling a demonic mark.

The boy was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and gray pants, carrying a military green backpack with a magic wand sticking out of it, looking like a magician. But strangely, Moen couldn't sense any magical aura from him, but he could sense it from the little girl next to him. However, the girl's magical aura was also very strange.

How should I describe it?

She resembles Natsu somewhat, but not quite. The girl's magic isn't very strong, making it difficult for Moen to make an accurate judgment.

Noticing that Moen was looking at her, the girl became a little timid. She took a step back, trying to hide behind the boy in front of her, but the boy also stepped forward decisively, blocking Moen's view.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Moen didn't look at the little girl again, but instead asked the boy a question.

His tone had softened. These two people didn't seem like bad people. The four or five-year-old girl was, of course, incredibly cute and adorable. The boy, on the other hand, was full of righteousness, his eyes brimming with sincerity.

"My name is Gerald, her name is Wendy, and we... are looking for a way out of here."

After considering it for a moment, the boy answered Moen's question; he was not lying.

"What a strange combination. Are you two siblings? Living around here? How did you end up here unharmed?"

Moen's expression was strange. Although Gerald was very sincere, Moen still felt that there were many doubts about his words.

Neither of them seemed particularly capable, and this Wasi Tree Sea wasn't exactly a pleasant grove for escaping the summer heat...

"We are not siblings, we met by chance. This child couldn't find her mother, and this place was too dangerous, so I took her with me."

Gerald spoke, and what he said sounded genuine, and the boy seemed exceptionally sincere.

How should I put it? He's the kind of person who seems willing to sacrifice himself to save others; he has that kind of aura about him.

"Brother...have you ever met my mother?"

The little girl Wendy clung tightly to Gerald's clothes, timidly peeking out with tears in her eyes, looking expectantly at Moen.

"...Never seen one before. I've never encountered a human before you."

Moen shook his head; this whole "finding mom" thing... gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"My mother isn't human, she's a dragon, a celestial dragon!"

Wendy spoke up anxiously, and what she blurted out finally made Moen understand: this girl was indeed just like Natsu!

Natsu is looking for his father, and Wendy is looking for her mother. Natsu's father is a fire dragon, and Wendy's mother is a celestial dragon. The magical aura on Wendy's body is also very similar to that on Natsu's body, so she must have learned "Dragon Slayer Magic". This child is also a "Dragon Slayer Mage"!

Although Wendy's magical aura didn't seem very pure, Moen still made a judgment, but he didn't know if Wendy and Natsu had any connection.

"Wendy, do you know Natsu?"

Moen asked directly, "If this girl knows Natsu, it would be easy. We can just take her to the guild."

"Natsu..."

Upon hearing the name, Wendy's face scrunched up as if she were trying hard to remember. She seemed to have heard the name before, but couldn't recall it.

"I don't know him..."

Finally, Wendy shook her head; she really couldn't remember who this Natsu was.

"I see. Well then, you two come with me for now. This forest isn't safe. I'll take you out after I've finished my business."

Moen nodded, then said to the two of them that he couldn't just leave these two seemingly weak children unattended and let them run around like this, lest they be eaten by some magical beast.

Judging from what these two people said, they had been in this forest for several days and hadn't been eaten yet; they were really lucky.

"I...have other things to do. Could you please tell us how to leave?"

Upon hearing Moen's words, Gerald looked troubled, then he made a request, seemingly wanting to get out on his own.

"Jeral, let me make this clear, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but you don't know magic, right?"

Hearing Gerald's words, Moen frowned. What he hated most were people who didn't know their own strength and situation. He was trying to help, but the other person didn't appreciate it. Moen didn't think that these two would be able to get out safely just because they knew the way.

"Huh? No, I can use magic!"

Moen's words startled Gerald for a moment, and he immediately drew his wand, trying to prove himself.
