Just as Li was lamenting August's fate, he had unknowingly followed the headmaster into the school.
At this hour, only the streetlights were still lit. The several school buildings stood dark, like man-eating beasts lurking in the shadows, ready to swallow everyone here whole.
Suddenly, the farthest streetlamp went out.
Li froze, instantly raising his guard to its fullest. An inexplicable sense of unease filled his heart when the system suddenly said, "It's Zeref!"
Li's expression changed. Trying to fight Zeref now was nothing more than a fool's dream. And if he tried to run, there was no doubt Zeref would be able to catch up to him.
Even if he wanted to exchange for a talisman that could erase his aura, he no longer had enough points. The last time, learning the Soul Reincarnation Spell had used up all his points. He had not earned any points during this period either, so he had no spare points left to exchange for items!
What a mistake! Li could not help but sigh. All he could do now was wait and see.
The magical streetlights went out one by one in the distance, while the unease in Li's heart grew stronger and stronger. Then slow footsteps sounded. The headmaster bent slightly at the waist and said, "Lord Zeref, you have arrived."
Then the headmaster said to Li, "This is the honorary headmaster I told you about, Zeref."
As Li watched the figure slowly emerge from the darkness, a chill ran down his spine. Zeref, the one cursed by Ankhseram. Li had fought him shortly after arriving in this world. Although the battle had ended in a draw, Li had truly fled in a sorry state. If they fought now, Li still had no real confidence that he could defeat him.
