User blog:EvanDude345rv5/Fairy Tail 344: Erza is a child again, WTF ?

Yeah this chapter of Fairy Tail was quite unexpected in more ways than one. It wasn't as engaging as the last 6 chapters but it was still a solid chapter.

The chapter begins with Team Natsu chasing after the Treasure Hunter mages to get the Moon Drip that can be  used  to save the giants within the  village. It's revealed that the treasure hunters  got the liquid Moon Drip from Galuna  Island    going  past all the demons living on the  island.

It's also revealed that Erza  stood  behind within the Giant Village to  search for more clues and investigate  further into how the Giants got frozen. Happy then has a humorous  thought about  Erza's  short temper   and  fearing she might destroy the giants in her  rage   while  the  rest of the team  pursues the treasure hunters.

After running for a  while, the treasure hunters  are  fed up with running and  decide to  fight it  out  with Team  Natsu instead. Natsu being more than happy to fight attacks the treasure hunter known as Hammer Lala, however it's soon revealed that these treasure hunters are far from weak as Lala uses his fist  shaped hammer to nearly  crush Natsu. The hammer Laa  wields is  quite  durable,  durable enough to  withstand even Natsu's flaming fist which can melt steel.

Next up is  Gray fighting against Hiroshi, the sword expert of the Sylph Labyrinth guild. Hiroshi demonstrates his speed and skill  by cutting appear all of  Gray's ice lances  and then uses his awesome  chain blade to  nearly  stab  Gray, the blade has so much force that  the stab generates a shockwave that takes out a tree and nearly hits Lucy and Wendy.

Then Lucy and  Wendy are attacked by a sniper, Wendy manages to  duck down and protect Lucy  from  a sniper shot saving her life. It's revealed that Wendy and Lucy are up against the team sniper Drake who's managed to cover  alot of ground and get his  distance to  fire his magical rifle at the team.

Thankfully with Wendy being a Dragon Slayer,   she has enhanced sense and can sense the gunpowder of  the sniper. Lucy then summons Sagittarius to  take on the sniper however the sniper  proves to such a skilled shot that he stalemates  Sagittarius arrow with his bullet mid air proving he's an extremely skilled sniper.

Looks like we all  underestimated these guys, they seem to be alot tougher than they look and much stronger than we  originally  thought. Going by the fact they were able to match the team so  far without  any of them using their best attacks,Sylph Labyrinth   could be on par with the Garou Knights and we can expect some decent fighting from these guys for at least another chapter before Natsu and the others get really serious and kick their asses.

Back at the village of giants, Erza is  doing further investigation on what occurred within the village. She then deducts that all the villagers seems to be all holding weapons and  charging forward to defend the town from an unknown attacker at the moment and  ponders whether it's possible to  defrost a village of this size with moon drip so small that it wouldn't even defrost one  giant.

Erza then puts the pieces together and discovers that the giants were all protecting the village from the attacker from taking the  flames  and  manages to pinpoint the location of the Eternal Flame being oppose of the giant's  direction. And this is why i love Erza, beautiful, strong and very smart. She has a good chance of being in CSI with her detective skills, though her acting seriously needs work.

Erza then sees a mountain not far from the village climbs up the mountain  which seems to be the Eternal Flame itself  given it's size in portion to a mountain. Erza then stares at the  reflection of herself within the ice and  suddenly she morphs back to the size and age of a 12 year old. WTF ?

First of all, is it me or  does  Erza  resemble  a younger Kushina from Naruto ? She also looks alot like Wendy minus the red hair, either way she's adorable. Second of all, BOO! I want the sexy, adult Erza back! Third what exactly just occurred ? According to the end narration text, all of Erza's time went back so this much be connected with time magic which further  adds more theories that  whatever  forze the village must be  further connected to Ultear and Ur ,especially if we have powers  similar to Ice Shell freezing the village and something similar to Last  Ages only  it  does the very opposite of making one older.

Overall, a good chapter.

Overall: B+
