Zera

Makarov first observed Laxus and, finding him unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief before asking the First Generation.

"The Black Dragon will no longer appear in this world."

"Does that mean they've been wiped out?!"

Makarov was stunned, then his face showed surprise.

"You could say that," Ling Yuan said with a smile.

"It's true... it really is..." Makarov's mind went blank.

"What about Igneel? Have you found out where Igneel is?" Natsu asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, Akunolokia said he hasn't seen a dragon in two hundred years." Ling Yuan shook his head.

No, nothing?

Natsu was momentarily lost in thought.

Venti and Gajeel also lowered their heads in disappointment.

In the end, they still couldn't find the dragon that had left.

"..."

Natsu's body

Sensing the emotions emanating from Natsu, Igneel slowly opened his eyes.

"Natsu, become stronger."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find it." Ling Yuan patted Natsu on the shoulder.

"Before that, you should work hard to become stronger, so that when you meet him again, you can give him a surprise."

"Ling Yuan is right, Natsu. Igneel must have his own reasons. When you see him again, you'd better give him a good beating," Laxus said.

"I will!"

Upon hearing their words, Natsu's eyes blazed with renewed fury, and he clenched his fist.

"That's great, Natsu."

Zeref looked at Natsu, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a sense of relief.

To have so many friends who are willing to be with you...

What are you thinking about?

Suddenly, Zeref paused, feeling a cool sensation on his arm, followed by a gentle voice.

Looking down, he saw Mavis with her arm around his shoulder, smiling at him.

"I was thinking, could I join Fairy Tail?" Zeref chuckled.

"Why?"

"Zeref, you're going to join Fairy Tail!" Mavis exclaimed in surprise.

"What, is that not allowed?" Zeref teased.

Since the curse was lifted, the conflict disappeared, and Zeref's emotions and expressions were also liberated.

"Yes, of course. I told you, Fairy Tail's doors are always open to you." Mavis opened her arms, as happy as a child.

"Great! Fairy Tail can be the number one guild in the world now!"

"Forehead."

Makarov felt awkward watching the first generation cheer.

I don't know what to say.

Erza and the others secretly glanced at Gray.

He looked at Erza and the others blankly and asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Gray, are you alright?" Natsu asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me? After what just happened, I've completely realized that I won't act impulsively until I become stronger."

"And it's perfect that Zeref joined the guild, saving me the trouble of searching later," Gray said, clenching his fist.

Erza and Natsu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.

"Gray, come with me for a second."

Looking at Gray, Ling Yuan suddenly appeared.

Gray was taken aback, then followed curiously.

Natsu and the others were also curious and were about to go over when Laxus pulled them back.

"What are you doing?"

"Gray, I have something to tell you, but after you hear it, don't act impulsively," Ling Yuan said solemnly.

"?"

Gray looked completely bewildered.

However, the next second, Ling Yuan's words made Gray's expression change.

"Your father is not dead yet."

"!"

In an instant, Gray's pupils contracted.

She stared at Ling Yuan in disbelief. "What... what did you just say?!"

Ling Yuan said unhurriedly, "He is currently hiding inside the Dark Guild's Tartarus."

"The Tartarus is a guild created entirely by the demons of the Book of Zeref. Your father is lurking within it, seeking revenge and hoping to help you in the future."

Chapter 415 Zera

After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Gray fell silent.

"I understand, I will wait for him."

"Well, what I'm trying to say is that your father's body is controlled by Keith, one of the Nine Demon Gates of the Tartarus. Once Keith dies, your father will die as well."

"Only Zeref, the creator of the demons, can save him."

"..."

After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Gray fell silent.

This put him in a dilemma.

On one hand, he is the creator of the demon who killed his master; on the other hand, he is able to save his father.

This put Gray in a dilemma.

"Don't rush, there's still plenty of time. You can take your time to think it over."

"And before that, you might want to talk to Ultear."

Gray was taken aback.

Ultear, the crazy woman who attacked her the moment they met.

As a result, before the opponent could even touch Zeref, Ling Yuan pushed him directly into the sea.

To be honest, we still don't know where he is.

"Suddenly I feel that you might be qualified to have two women on your left and one on your right."

Gray: "..."

The two returned.

"Gray, what did Ling Yuan say to you?" Natsu came over as soon as he got back.

"Fine."

Gray simply brushed it off.

"?"

Seeing Gray's preoccupied expression, Natsu became even more curious.

After the Black Dragon incident was over, the so-called S-level assessment lost its appeal.

Makarov noticed that the children were tired, so he decided to give them a half-day off to enjoy Tenrou Island.

Tenrou Island was restored to its original state by Zeref's magic, the Arc of Time.

"Ugh, I finally got past Gildarts, why is the test suddenly canceled?!"

Of all them, Natsu is the most awkward.

"Stop complaining. I feel lucky to be alive right now." Lucy patted Natsu on the shoulder, looked at the beautiful coastline, and sighed.

It's great that I wasn't told anything.

"It's a true survival story," Erza said.

"Ugh, just thinking about this makes me angry. Why Laxus so strong?"

"But I'm the Dragon Slayer Mage!"

Seeing Natsu complaining, the others smiled helplessly.

How adorable!

Sirius Tomb

"Can you really do it?" Mavis asked Ling Yuan nervously.

This is different from Natsu's situation. It has been a hundred years since Zera died, and her remains have probably disappeared.

"Since I promised you, I can certainly do it."

As he spoke, Ling Yuan placed his hand on the ground.

"System, read the following information."

"Ding! Loading..."

Data about Zera was slowly transmitted into Ling Yuan's mind, combined with Mavis's memories and remaining magic...

Finally, Ling Yuan slowly withdrew his hand.

"How is it?" Mavis asked expectantly.

"Not bad, not quite dead yet," Ling Yuan said, patting the dust off his hands.

"Ah?"

Mavis stared at Ling Yuan in bewilderment.

Before Ling Yuan, the Creation Force began to emerge.

Accompanied by a blue sphere of light.

Zeref's pupils widened.

This is a power completely different from magic.

After the skeleton is constructed, the body follows...

"Turn around quickly!" Mavis blushed and hurriedly covered Zeref's eyes.

"Wait, wait a minute, it poked my eye."

Zeref turned his head in a flustered manner.

Mavis stared blankly at Zera, whose entire form had now appeared, her mouth slightly agape.

The reappearance of her old friend brought tears to her eyes.
