Chapter 88: Ch 88 : Moon Goddess
The desert nights were always cold, especially in this barren wasteland devoid of all vegetation and life.
In the temporary camp where the Fairy Tail members were resting, the atmosphere was silent, broken only by the occasional crackling of the burning campfire.
The battle during the day had ended in defeat for Ishu and Fairy Tail.
When they regained consciousness, they had already been thrown out of the white palace.
Though they didn't know why Nord had spared their lives, everyone's spirits were incredibly low.
The difference in power was beyond just "overwhelming"—it was on an entirely different level.
The sheer disparity left even Natsu feeling lost and powerless.
Seeing this, Makarov had no choice but to call for a temporary retreat.
Attacking again without a plan would only be meaningless.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, and to their surprise, Ishu's magic had healing properties, allowing the Fairy Tail members to maintain their combat strength.
Erza sat quietly by the campfire, staring off into the distance at the white palace.
