Chapter 641: Kira and Zeref meet again
Magnolia, Center Street.
A young man with black hair and black clothes walked slowly from the north to the magic guild 'Fairy Tail' in the south. His eyes were hidden under his bangs, and he was looking at the scenery of the town with every step, as if he was reminiscing about something.
Even though this young man was handsome and young, and was the favorite of many wealthy ladies, the sad expression on his face, which was similar to that of a gigolo kept by a rich woman, made his temperament decline a lot.
No one knew that he was the legendary Zeref, the most evil, darkest and most terrifying black wizard in history.
At the same time, another handsome young man with red hair and white clothes walked slowly from the south to the north. He had a firm gaze and a serious expression, and with every step he took, his footsteps became heavier and his temperament became more steady.
This young man is a well-known figure and star magician in Magnolia. He is known and respected by all the residents of the town. He is also admired by many beautiful young girls. He is a perfect character who seems to exist in a dream.
He is Kira Hopelet!
Snap… Snap…
"Why did Jellal come here all of a sudden? Did the guild invite him to the Centennial Celebration? It's a bit late for him to come now! Everyone else has already left..."
Kira muttered as he walked forward, his steps getting faster and faster.
As it is still early, there are not many people on the street. Apart from the old men who get up in the morning to exercise, there are only a few aunties who go to the vegetable market. Ordinary workers and school kids have not gone out yet. Even the central street is deserted.
As Jellal walked along, his eyes gradually turned from sharp to gentle.
It's not like he had never been to Magnolia before. Not to mention three hundred years ago, he had been here once since the establishment of Fairy Tail, and it was that time that he brought back Mavis' body.
But that was more than eighty years ago.
The small town that could be described as completely desolate in the past has now become one of the largest towns in the Kingdom of Fiore. Jellal once again felt the loneliness and desolation of the world having changed.
"This town has changed a lot! There are many more things than when I first came here... The church is still there, but it's different. It looks quite new. Has it been renovated recently?"
Jellal was also talking to himself, muttering some words that sounded very time-sensitive. If you didn't know, you would think he had lived here for a long time.
In fact, Jellal didn't have many memories of this place. Even of Magnolia's iconic building, the Cardia Cathedral, he only had a brief impression of it.
"Um??"
Suddenly, Jellal's expression changed, his eyes appeared from his bangs, and he looked straight at the end of the street in front of him, where a person was walking straight towards him.
"This magic power... is that person?"
Jellal remembered the red-haired boy who had fought with him on Tenrou Island two years ago.
At the beginning, Zeref was near Tenrou Island, from the beginning of the battle between Fairy Tail and Devil's Heart to the end of the battle between Fairy Tail and Acnorolia. He had a full view of the overall strength of this guild, and at the same time had a certain degree of understanding of Kira's strength and talent.
Although Kira finally solved the crisis of Acnorolia by using the tricky method of "exile", it was enough to show that his ability was not inferior to that of Irene and August.
Don't stop, keep moving forward.
Zeref recalled the conversation he had with Kira in the grove: "'Next time we meet, I might have the ability to kill you'... I think he said that at the time, right?"
"Judging from the amount of magic power, he is almost catching up with Auguste, even though he is so young... In terms of magical talent, this boy is far superior to Auguste, almost as good as me!"
Augustus grew up under Jellal's watch, so he knew clearly that the empire's right-hand man did not have such strength at this age.
Thinking of this, Jellal smiled faintly and walked forward faster.
Kira didn't stop until the two of them got closer. Coincidentally, the Hope Hut .
"Why are you here, Jeref?"
Kira pretended to be calm, trying his best to show that he could remain calm even when faced with a huge disaster. His eyes were sharp, but he didn't aim them at Jair's eyes. Instead, he looked at the person behind him: "You came a few years earlier. Now is not the time for us!"
He quoted Gu Yi's lines to make himself appear more professional and impressive.
After all, it would be too embarrassing to just say something like “I can’t beat you right now, so don’t come over here.”
This trick worked very well. Jeref, a creature whose emotional intelligence had long been worn away by time, did not understand the meaning of Kira's words at all, and his thoughts were immediately led away by the other party.
"I just came to see Mavis' guild. If I remember correctly, this year should be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Fairy Tail."
"You probably don't know, right? The four founders of Fairy Tail, the first president Mavis, the second president Preshito, the father of the current president Makarov, and Volod, one of the Ten Saints. I taught them magic. They are my disciples."
When Mavis' name was mentioned, Zeref couldn't help but smile gently. "In other words, Fairy Tail is also my inheritance in a sense. Is it not okay for me to come and participate in the centennial celebration?"
I know it too well!
Kira secretly complained, wondering which country this 400-year-old antique came from. The things he mentioned were almost known to everyone in the top management of "Fairy Tail"!
However, Zeref's answer also indirectly reflects one thing, that is: he still doesn't know about the changes in the Western Continent! He doesn't know that Mavis has been resurrected! And he doesn't know that he is now wearing a necklace that can temporarily isolate the curse!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he came to "attend the guild's centenary celebration", but "came to find Auguste and others" or "came to find Mavis".
Because Zeref may not care about the Albareth Empire, Ogast, or the other twelve holy shields, but he will never not care about Mavis!
This is true both in terms of his life goals and the repressed emotions .
Thinking of this, Kira's tense muscles suddenly relaxed.
It’s okay, it’s okay… As long as you’re not here to look for someone…
In Kira's mind, as long as the other party does not have as much information as he does, he will have enough confidence to fool the other party with his eloquent tongue!
"No, I know what you're talking about!"
Kira adjusted his non-existent glasses: "Not only do I know that the four of them are your disciples, but I also know that one of the three super magics inherited by the guild, 'Fairy's Law', is the magic you taught to the first generation. It was because she used that trick that she was cursed like you!"
Puff! !
In a trance, Jellal felt as if his heart was stabbed hard, and a feeling of guilt and regret surged into his heart.
"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange?"
"Strange...what?"
"After my investigation, I found that the curse of Anxelram is a curse that only falls upon those who have desecrated life!"
Kira pointed at Zeref and said, "You were cursed because you tried to revive a dead life, which is reasonable, but the first generation did not have the same level of behavior, and was cursed just for using immature "laws". Such a price is too high!"
Zeref was stunned for a moment, and after two seconds of silence, he spoke with difficulty, "That's because 'law' also involves the concept of 'life', and Mavis's magic power at the time was not enough to support this move..."
"wrong!"
Kira shook his head and said firmly: "I have studied and used that 'law' myself. I know exactly how dangerous it is."
"Preshito's 'Devil's Law', which was created based on 'Fairy's Law', and my 'Fairy's Judgment', are more powerful and also involve life. They were also activated when they were immature, but nothing happened."
"If you use it in an immature state, you will be cursed, but if you use it in a mature state, you won't be cursed. How can this make sense?"
Zeref's originally calm face finally showed ripples, and he stared at Kira with wide eyes: "So..."
"So, the first generation was cursed, most likely not because they used immature 'laws', but because they used 'the laws you personally taught them'."
"You are the only one that has been targeted by the God of Anxelram!"
