217 Chapter 217 : The Moon Lake!!!

Stumped with no solutions on how to execute the request, both the team turns in for the night and heads out to explore the island the next morning.

As they had started their quest in the next morning they are confronted by a gigantic rodent, but Gray easily defeats it with a punch.

After some time Mira's team arrived upon a temple and decide to go in for investigation. When they entered the kids being in awe started jumping here and there which made the girls laugh but soon turned into fear as the floor breaked apart and they got swallowed...

Cana : Jump inside.... we need to save them!!!

Levy : Solid Script : Stairs!!!

Ur : Ice Make : Ladder!!!

Lisanna : Take Over : Animal Soul Rabbit!!!

Mira : After them!!!

They jumped down towards the broken floor and kept falling and falling down, after hundreds of meters they reached the bottom and saw the kids there holding their faces in tears...

Especially Lily and Tina as they were taught that the face of a girl is priceless as they rushed to check if they were alright they heard somebody approaching and went into a hiding behind a few rocks.

Three people enter their sight, discussing of the intruders on the island. Mira from what was they were saying she realized that they are not inhabitants of the island.

The strangers then declare that they will purge all intruders and mention a mysterious ritual called Moon Drip and the name of their leader, Reitei.

Lisanna : Who were those??

Ur : Are you kids fine...??

Tina : Ughh, my face..... I got a bump...

All of them started petting the kids to calm them down... But Allan and Noah started raining curses at whoever made the floor so weak.

Mira : So the name of the magic being used is Mood Drip...

Levy : I haven't heard it before...

Lisanna : So now we can only explore this place further ahead...

Cana : But i wonder where does the liquid state of the moon's rays is contained??

Mira : We will find out i believe ahead of us...

Ur : I only hope Erza and the rest haven't reached there before us...

Having found their way and Levy healing the kids with Solid Script they began wondering here and there, after 2 hours of walking they could hear small ticks from somewhere.

When they followed it the saw a huge Lake of crystal white water inside it and were mesmerised by it.

They saw a grand formation on the ceiling that had a hole in it letting the rays of the moon pass through when that happened the array glowed with purple color and the ray started condensing in the air, becoming a small drop before falling in the lake...

Cana : Hey just a thought, didn't we start morning??

Levy : And a couple of hours ago??

Ur : Why is it night outside???

It was truly night, they looked towards the ceiling that you could easily see the sky and it was night at that moment the kids answered for them.

Allan : It must be cause when we fell, there was a time formation there.

Noah : We felt it but didn't give it any thought...

Both the girls nodded as well leaving the rest speechless, so while they felt they were falling for 1-2 minutes 10 or so hours passed??

This concept mind blown their heads as they didn't realise anything at all, they thought it was still day...

Mira : Meaning we were really falling for 10 hours???

Lily : No, it would be that our sense of time was messed up and we wondered down here for more than 10 hours...

Tina : But it felt like we are only 2-3 hours down here...
