Chapter 117: Breaking the Curse and Finding Mavis

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Seeing the two people shrouded in [Death Hunting], Zeref collapsed and knelt on the ground, covering his face as tears fell from his eyes.

He didn't want to hurt anyone at all, but the curse on him wouldn't listen to him.

"Sorry, but I also warned you not to come close."

Perhaps because he had experienced this kind of thing a lot, Zeref quickly calmed down, wiped away his tears, and slowly stood up from the ground.

But when he looked up, he looked in disbelief.

"how come……"

Just because the two people who were hit by [Death Hunting] stood in front of him intact, and they were not deprived of their lives by him.

Mianzi blinked, confusion written on his face.

She was held in Ling Yu's arms throughout the whole process, and she only felt a breeze blowing by, but she didn't feel anything else.

Instead, the young man in front of him suddenly knelt on the ground and started crying.

"You can't kill us with your strength, Zeref Dragneel." Ling Yu looked at Zeref and said.

"Why……"

Zeref expressed his confusion that the lives of Ling Yu and the others were not harvested.

Then he seemed to think of something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Don't tell me you are too!"

A petite figure with blond hair suddenly appeared in his mind, but she was already dead...

"This is Tenrou Island, right?"

Ling Yu did not answer Zeref's question, but glanced around and asked.

Zeref was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm just looking for a place where no one is around to rest."

Ling Yu understood this.

Because of the curse, Zeref has been avoiding contact with the world.

Over time, there were even rumors that he was dead.

"Come in, I have a way to break the curse of You." Ling Yu looked at Zeref and said.

"What?"

Zeref's eyes narrowed when he heard this.

An unspeakable pressure was released from him.

The strong wind tore apart the ground that had become fragile due to the death hunt, and the particles were lifted into the air by this force.

Zeref's brief burst of power suffocated Miko for a moment, but it soon disappeared.

"What do you mean?"

Zeref asked in a deep voice.

He desperately wanted answers.

"Follow me if you want to know."

Without saying a word, Ling Yu took Jianzi back, not forgetting to remind Jianzi on the way.

"In the future, if you encounter people like this who just turn around and leave, you don't need to chase them. We didn't beg them to come."

"Okay, okay."

Jian Zi also nodded obediently.

She was originally worried that the shopkeeper would lose business if the customers ran away, but now that the shopkeeper said so, she would not meddle in the future.

Looking at the two people who completely ignored him and went back, Zeref was silent for a while, and finally followed him.

After all, this was the first time someone told him that he could lift the curse.

Dimensional store

When he first stepped into this place, Zeref felt the warmth and tranquility that he had not seen for a long time.

Mijiu also looked at the new guest curiously.

After all, this is the first customer who has left the store without actively entering since it opened.

"Although there was an accident just now, I would like to extend my welcome again, the great black mage Mr. Zeref."

"My name is Ling Yu, the owner of the Dimension Shop. You can call me the shop owner or Ling Yu."

Ling Yu turned around and said to Zeref who followed him to the store.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zeref raised his head and asked, "You said you can lift the curse, is that true?"

There was expectation and confirmation in his eyes.

Zeref looks very immature now, like a little puppy. Compared to his decisiveness in the later period, he is now more confused.

"All things are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. Since it exists, there must be a way to eliminate it."

"In the final analysis, God Anxelam is just a creature with a higher level of life." Ling Yu said.

"Beings with a high level of life..."

This was the first time Zeref heard such remarks, and it was very strange.

But isn’t that what the so-called ‘god’ is all about?

One of the Twelve Shields of the Saints he belongs to is a descendant of Chronos, the god of time.

"What do you need me to do?" Zeref asked directly.

He has been plagued by this curse for too long.

Even his lover died due to this curse, so he would try it whenever there was a chance!

"It's easy, pick it up."

Ling Yu handed the store's card to Zeref.

Zeref didn't hesitate and took the card directly.

At the moment of contact, a stream of unfamiliar information poured directly into his brain.

"Um!"

Zeref let out a groan.

But he quickly adapted to the information transmitted to his mind.

"Another world?"

After digesting it, he murmured.

Zeref was not too surprised. As a top scholar, he pursued the truth and longed for the truth.

So he created something like a solar eclipse that could reverse time and space.

Moreover, the world of Fairy Tail also has the parallel world of the Star Spirit World and Edras, so Zeref naturally accepted the store's information.

He lowered his head and looked at the numbers on the card.

four thousand.

This number is just right for Zeref, who is not the protagonist.

After all, Master Shadow only has five thousand, and Zeref can get four thousand, which is enough to see the importance of Zeref.

But even so, his research and knowledge are the most valuable, and any one of them can easily surpass Sid.

"Can these four thousand origin points help me remove the curse?" Zeref asked.

"Of course, please believe in the truth."

Ling Yu said.

The so-called curse of God Anxelram is just a kind of virus in Ling Yu's eyes. As long as it is forcibly extracted or decomposed...

All curses actually have traces, because they need to be imposed on something to be activated.

"I will give you all four thousand origin points, as long as you can help me remove the curse."

"Besides that, you can mention anything within my ability." Zeref said.

"If you say so, I really have one thing I want."

Ling Yu suddenly said.

"You say." Zeref's expression did not change.

"I want the demon in Zeref's book, Liang Yuetian Sera."

It's time to have a maid. It really doesn't fit his character to do everything by himself.

Although he had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Miku's place...

"No problem."

Zerff agreed without hesitation.

The so-called demons were just tools he created to kill himself.

He had no feelings for them, nor did he have any expectations for them. He only expected one person from the beginning to the end, and that was the strongest demon of fire, END.

"Just stand there and don't move. Leave the rest to me."

"Esther."

Ling Yu looked at Esther.

The Demon-Slaying Holy Sword is a sword that can remove curses.

Although the original Demon-Slaying Holy Sword stores the swallowed curse in the holy sword, when the curse exceeds the storage limit, it will begin to bite back the body of the holy sword contractor, but the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword held by Ling Yu is a real destructive curse.

It will not accumulate and bite the master.

Then, Esther turned into a dazzling platinum holy sword in the surprised eyes of Zeref.

Zeref's eyes were fixed on the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword. His scholar's consciousness told him that he wanted to know the secret.

Seeing this scene, Ling Yu was certain that when Zeref returned this time, there would be one more race in the Fairy Tail world.

They looked like humans on the surface, but they were actually weapons of all kinds.

Then there were magicians who could take out all kinds of weapons from their bodies.

From then on, this type of magician was called: Heart Swordsman.

Holding the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, Ling Yu placed the sword on Zeref's shoulder.

A white light lit up on the sword body, quickly covering Zeref's whole body.

It looked a bit like the scene of Shennong's ruler healing.

Crack!

If there was a sound of a broken mirror, the light on Zeref's body dissipated, and Ling Yu also took back the Holy Sword.

"Okay."

Ling Yu let go of the hilt, and Esther turned into a silver-haired little Lolita again.

Judging from her slightly satisfied expression, the taste of the Anxelram God's curse should be pretty good.

"Is it over?"

Zeref was surprised when he heard Ling Yu's words.

This is like a locksmith helping you unlock the door in just a few seconds, which makes Zeref feel a little unreal.

The curse that has troubled him for more than 500 years has been lifted just like that?

"This is not a complicated matter in itself. There are many ways to solve your curse."

For example, the power of the Herrscher of Death, as long as the source of the curse imposed on Zeref is found, the curse can be directly annihilated.

It's like the signal and the mobile phone. As long as the mobile phone card is destroyed, the mobile phone will have no signal.

"I will give you Sera's Demon Book as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Zeref said.

"That's not urgent, because I think you will owe me another favor next." Ling Yu smiled.

Zeref paused.

Is there anything else in this world that makes him owe a favor?

Could it be Natsu?

Once this idea came out, Zeref couldn't stop it.

Because Natsu is indeed the person he cares about the most, after all, he is his dear Ou Doudou.

"You say."

Zeref looked at Ling Yu nervously.

"Mavis is not dead. Besides, you and Mavis have a child."

"What?"

Jerf was stunned when he heard this answer.

This time he was really upset.

Mavis' death was the most painful thing in his life, but now Ling Yu told him that Mavis was not dead, which was like telling him that the curse of the god Ankselram could be lifted.

"Mavis is not dead, is this true?"

Jerf asked eagerly.

"Besides, we have a child..."

"Yes, Mavis was just in a coma because your love was too deep."

"Who made you think that Mavis was the salvation of your life at that time? Mavis was only in her twenties and didn't know much about love. How could she bear your passionate love?" Ling Yu spread his hands and said.

But why does it sound so strange?

Did he faint because he couldn't bear the love?

Shouldn't this kind of thing happen at night...

After Ling Yu said this, Jellal also reacted.

The curse of Anxelram is: the more you respect life, the more you release the energy that spreads death. On the contrary, if you do not respect the life of all things, you will not release the energy of death.

At that time, he released the emotions that had been accumulated for hundreds of years in an instant.

It is normal that Mavis could not bear it.

"That's fine. If she hadn't met me, she would have been a very happy person."

"Although, now that your curse has been lifted, are you willing to see Mavis alone in the abyss of the curse?" Ling Yu asked.

"..."

For a moment, Zeref, who originally thought it was best not to meet again, was now eager to find Mavis.

"But I don't know where she is."

"The soul is on Tenrou Island, and the body is kept by the president of Fairy Tail."

"The one on Tianrou Island now is just a tomb, but Mavis's soul sleeps inside."

"……Thanks."

After a moment of silence, Zeref said.

This was the second thank you he said since the last time he met Mavis.

"I'll wake her up."

"So you don't care about your children at all?"

"After so many years, he should have passed away long ago." Zeref said sadly.

He and Mavis are cursed with immortality, but their children may not be.

"Actually, no, that Ogast is your child."

"It's just that he didn't tell you because of the curse. Once he tells you the truth, he will probably never see you again."

"Compared with a short-term family relationship, he chose to serve you for a lifetime."

Zeref was startled.

Ogast?

At first, he just saw that he looked similar to Mavis, so he adopted him.

Zeref was in a daze.

It turns out that his child has always been so close to him?

"I'll remember this favor," Zeref said.

"Let's go, I'll go with you again."

Ling Yu touched Esther's head and said.

"Why?"

"Don't you want to break Mavis' curse?"

"Resurrection is easy, but you don't have an immortal body now. You will be killed by the resurrected Mavis in an instant."

Zeref: "..."

"You don't have to be burdened, I also have what I want."

"Xiao Miko, please take a look at the store with Miku."

"OK."

Miiko nodded.

Then Ling Yu returned to Tianlang Island with Esther and Zeref.

"Um?"

The moment he returned to Tenrou Island, Zeref was startled and set his sights on one place.

"Is it...Mavis?"

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel it.

Ling Yu and Esther also cast their gazes.

I saw a petite golden little loli looking at Zeref with an incredulous look on her face.

Since that time, she has never seen him again. She just woke up from her slumber after feeling Zeref's magic power.

Mavis came to Zeref.

"Long time no see, Mavis."

Zeref looked forward with a gentle expression.

"You are still the same as before, nothing has changed."

Mavis looked at Zeref and said.

She reached out her hand and gently touched Zeref's cheek.

Suddenly

Zeref felt his eyes light up, and the figure of Mavis appeared.
