Inevitable Battle

On some unknown mountain range

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Brushing back her long hair whipped by the cold wind, the long-legged beauty in a white robe spoke to the black characters beside her ear. "That's what happened. The Magic Council was paralyzed by a major incident and is supposedly being reorganized."

"What about Jellal?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's dead!"

Upon hearing Black Long Straight Hair's answer, the characters fell silent for a long time.

"Anyway, we've achieved the effect we wanted. As for that guy... let nature take its course!"

"Hehe... Over these past eight years, I've rather enjoyed playing the 'Ghost of Zeref.' After all, that guy was pretty cute!"

"The woman he thought he'd used turned around and used him instead, and he never realized it until the very end... Tsk, tsk. I almost feel sorry for him!"

"My, my... Don't make me sound like some evil woman!"

"You got that thing, right?"

"Of course! Little Jellal worked very hard to stir up the entire Magic Council, after all."

"Since the key to the seal lock is already in our hands, relax outside for a few days before coming back!"

"Thank you... Guild Master Hades!" Black Long Straight Hair blew him a kiss.

"Hehe... Have fun!"

"OK!"

Once the black characters vanished from the air, Black Long Straight Hair murmured into the mountain wind, "Although it's cruel of me, I might as well tell you. Even if the R System were truly activated, it couldn't revive Zeref, because he was never dead. He's merely sleeping somewhere in the world."

"Whew."

"I do feel much better after saying that!"

"Where should I go next?"

"Right! Little Suo is holding a festival, and it seems Gray and those two little ones are there too... Hehe, I'll go join the fun!"
