Chapter 309: The 400-year-old human ceiling
The scattered goblins are like scattered tigers.
They put on sheepskin and pretend to be fat sheep, waiting the wolves to prey on them.
As long as the other party sets foot on his territory, a battle feast of "one tiger hunting a pack of wolves" will begin.
…
Deep in the Tenrou Island, a young man who did not belong to "Fairy Tail" was walking there. The man was wearing a high-collared black robe, half wrapped in a long white cloth. On his bare chest, there was a pendant, and on his feet were black boots.
He has short, shiny black hair with V-shaped bangs on his forehead. His eyes are full of loneliness and desolation, and his face is sad, but his heroic appearance cannot be concealed.
Jeff.
This dark wizard, who has the greatest influence in the history of magic for nearly eight hundred years, is an evil being sought after, admired, and worshipped by countless dark guilds. At this moment, he is in the holy land of Fairy Tail.
Jellal's footsteps were slow and silent, only when he passed by the flowers did he create a slight commotion.
"Hmm? Is it a human?"
The noise ahead caught his attention. As soon as he passed through the flowers, he saw a sturdy man and a charming woman. The two of them were making quite a noise in order to avoid the attacks of the monsters on the island.
"There are people on this island... I thought there was no one here..."
The two people in front of him were Elfman and Alba Green, who were searching for Mavis's grave on the island.
It seems like the confusion and overlap of time and space, and also like the predetermined cycle of fate.
With the appearance of Zeref, the world has opened a new chapter from this moment on.
"You...are you..."
In the holy land of Fairy Tail, a non-guild member suddenly appeared, which immediately reminded Elfman of the enemy that Markrov and Kira mentioned not long ago.
Is it the enemy? Arrived so soon?
The two looked at each other. Didn't Kira say that the other party would arrive in half an hour? How long had it been?
"Have I been recognized?" Jellal thought, but quickly rejected the idea, "Impossible! No one here should know me! And these two people are too young..."
Alba Green prepared to fight and asked, "Are you... a member of the Devil's Heart?"
“As expected… you mistook me for someone else.”
Jellal felt relieved and was about to explain, but he felt a sense of loss, a kind of sadness of being abandoned by the times and hated by the world. The contradictory thoughts and complex psychology made him speechless for a moment.
“You bastard…”
However, Elfman took Zeref's mental slowness as arrogance, and he shouted and rushed forward to punch him. But the next shout made him realize that something was wrong.
Jellal took a half step back and put his hands in front of him: "No! You can't come near me!"
"What did you say?!"
Elfman stopped moving. If the other party was an enemy, he would have rushed up to fight the first time they met! At the very least, he would not have said "Don't come near me" at this time.
"I am not the 'Devil's Heart' you mentioned. I am just an ordinary traveler!"
The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, but they still did not let down their guard. They turned to the strange man in front of them and said, "Who are you? Only members of our guild can enter this island!"
"So this is an island under the jurisdiction of the guild... Sorry! I get it, I'll get out! So please don't come near me!"
The strange words and actions made Elfman and Alba Green both fearful and confused. The only thing that was certain was that the other party had no desire to fight.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Elfman analyzed: "If someone can pass through the magic barrier of Tianlang Island, he must not be an ordinary person! But if he is not an enemy... can we just leave him alone at this time?"
"No... No... The Predator of Death... is coming..."
Suddenly, a pure dark magic power spread out from Jellal's body! It was going to devour all the life around him!
…
“It’s finally here!”
In the distance, Kira, who was running around in Sirius Island, sensed this evil magic and immediately changed direction. His Word Magic transformed into [Speed] and he quickly rushed towards the direction of the magic explosion.
“I hope everyone is okay!”
Soon after…
tread!
The green figure suddenly stopped, Kira stopped and looked forward. The distance was full of devastation and all life was gone.
Whether it is the trees around, the weeds on the ground, or the fertile soil, they all seem to have lost their lives at this moment, withered, decayed, and cracked, and the air is filled with the smell of death.
Not far away, four figures stood facing each other in a three-to-one formation.
On one side were Elfman, Alba Green, and Natsu who arrived at the critical moment and saved the two's lives. Behind them was Happy flying in the air.
On the other side stood a man who looked familiar to Kira but he had never seen him before, and a stranger but he knew his life story.
With this outfit and this look, there is no doubt that he is the potential enemy in this Sirius Island copy, Zeref!
"Finally appeared? Zeref..." Kira muttered to himself, "Why couldn't I find him a few days ago? Is it like in RPG games, where only designated characters can trigger events?"
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Natsu suddenly rush forward and punch Zeref head-on!
The punch was so powerful that it hit the face with a loud noise. Jellal was knocked flying by the punch and turned over in the air.
"Good boy! I've never seen Natsu be so reckless before!"
Kira complained and turned around to look at the surrounding environment. "Is it because of this magic that you instinctively feel that the other party is not a good person? Or is it from the urge deep in your blood that you want to kill Zeref?"
The demons created by Zeref are collectively called Etrias.
That was a brand new species he created during the past four hundred years with the help of demonic factors, resentment, magic and other technologies in order to kill himself. Therefore, all the demons in the Book of Jellal have an instinctive urge to return to Jellal and kill him!
Natsu is the first Etrias created!
Before Kira could figure it out, Zeref stretched out his hand and gently pressed the ground, using the force to jump back, landing steadily on the ground with both legs, and then...
He started crying!
Perhaps it was because he saw his brother whom he hadn't seen for 400 years, the love in Jellal's heart suddenly exploded. Endless longing, sorrow, grievance, helplessness, mixed with regret, unwillingness, loss, and regret, turned into two lines of tears on his face.
Then, it triggered the "Curse of Anxelram" on Zeref, and the "Death Predator" came again!
Unlike Alba Green and Elfman who were stunned, Natsu was the first to realize the extraordinary power of this magic, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Everyone get out of here!!!"
This time, you can't just lie down and dodge!
The next moment, a force of death that was even stronger, darker, and more evil than before surged out from around Jellal!
Hearing Natsu's shout, Elfman and Albagreen immediately ran back, and finally jumped to the ground with all their might, trying to avoid the Grim Reaper's scythe; but Natsu was too late to dodge!
"Natsu!!"
Happy yelled and was about to fly over, but was grabbed by Elfman: "Idiot! Don't go over there!"
At the critical moment, a clear shout was heard, and three magic spells rose up one after another.
"defense!"
"Annihilation!"
"Space teleportation!"
The spellcasting orders that are usually not taken seriously by many people, now sound like the sound of nature!
A familiar voice, familiar magic, along with a calm, confident, and composed power, rescued Natsu from a life-threatening situation!
Natsu only felt two rays of light blocking in front of him, then his eyes blurred and the environment around him suddenly changed!
" Space magic?!" He immediately understood the situation and quickly figured out who had done it. "Is it Kira?!"
“Here it is!”
Natsu turned around and took a closer look, and sure enough he saw Kira standing behind him. Beside him were Happy, Elfman, and Albagreen, who were still in shock.
The dark magic filled with the power of death just now gradually dissipated in the distance in front of them, leaving only smoke and dust, but no human figure.
Looking around, you can see an area full of death. The trees that were once full of vitality have now become dead trees. There is no grass on the ground, not even a fallen leaf.
"What a terrible magic!" several people said with lingering fear.
"Of course it's scary! He's not an ordinary person!"
Hearing this, several people hurriedly asked : "Kira, do you know him? Who is that guy?"
Just waiting for you to ask!
Under the expectant gazes of the three people, Kira slowly opened his mouth and gave a shocking answer!
"He's Jeff!"
