Variety Comic: This shopkeeper is not reliable

Chapter 117 Breaking the curse and looking for 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 were not deprived of their lives by him.

Mianzi blinked, confusion written on his face.

She was held in Ling Yu's arms the whole time, and she felt nothing but a breeze blowing by.

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 and Yu 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 been weakened by 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 could lift the curse, is that true?"

There was expectation and verification in his eyes.

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

"All things are interdependent. Since they exist, there must be a way to resolve them."

"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 had 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.

"Ok!"

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 despite saying that, people's research and knowledge are the most valuable, and they can easily surpass Sid in anything.

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

"Of course, please believe in the truth."

Ling Yu said.

In Ling Yu's eyes, the so-called curse of God Anxelam is just a kind of virus. As long as it is forcibly removed or decomposed...

All curses are actually traceable, because they need to be imposed on something to activate.

"I'll give you four thousand origin points, as long as you can help me lift the curse."

"Other than that, you can mention anything within my capabilities." Zeref said.

"If you put it that way, I really have something I want."

Ling Yu said suddenly.

"Say." Zeref's expression remained unchanged.

"I want the demon from the Book of Zeref, Suzukiten Sera."

It's time to have a maid. It really doesn't suit his salty persona to always be hands-on.

Although he spends breakfast, lunch and dinner with Miku...

"no problem."

Zeref agreed without hesitation.

The so-called devil is just a tool he created to kill himself.

He has no feelings for him at all, nor does he have any expectations for those demons. There is only one person he expects from the beginning to the end, and that is the strongest demon of fire, END.

"Just stand still and leave the rest to me."

"Aster."

Ling Yu looked at Esther.

The Demon-Destroying Holy Sword itself is a sword that can break curses.

Although the original Demon-Destroying Holy Sword stores the swallowing curse in the Holy Sword, when the curse breaks through the limit of storage, it will begin to backfire on the body of the Contractor of the Holy Sword, but Ling Yu holds The Demon-Destroying Holy Sword is a real curse of destruction.

There will be no accumulation and loss of the owner.

Then, Aster turned into a dazzling platinum holy sword in Zeref's surprised eyes. Zeref’s eyes have been fixed on the Demon-Destroying Holy Sword, and his scholar’s ​​consciousness told him that he wanted to know the secrets within it.

Ling Yu, who saw this scene, was already sure that when Zeref returned this time, there would probably be another race in the Fairy Tail world.

They appear to be humans, but are essentially weapons of all kinds.

Then there are magicians who can pull out all kinds of weapons from their bodies.

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

Ling Yu, who was holding the Demon-Destroying Holy Sword, placed the sword on Zeref's shoulder.

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

It looks a bit like the scene of Shennong Ruler treatment.

Click!

If there was a sound of the mirror breaking, the light on Zeref's body collapsed, and Ling Yu also took back the holy sword.

"All right."

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

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

"Is it over yet?"

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

It's like a locksmith opening a lock for you in just a few seconds, which makes Zeref a little unreal.

Was the curse that had plagued him for more than five hundred years just lifted?

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

For example, the Herrscher of Death's power can directly annihilate the curse as long as it pinpoints the source of the curse imposed on Zeref.

Just like a signal and a mobile phone, as long as the mobile phone card is destroyed, the mobile phone will have no signal.

"I will give you Serah's Book of Demons as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Zeref said.

"It's not urgent, because I think you will owe me another favor next time." Ling Yu said with a smile.

Zeref paused.

Is there anything in this world that he owes a favor to?

Could it be Natsu?

As soon as this idea came up, Zeref couldn't hold it in anymore.

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

"You said."

Zeref looked at Ling Yu nervously.

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

"what?"

Zeref was stunned when he heard this answer.

This time he was really not calm anymore.

The death of Mebis was the pain of his life, but now Ling Yu told him that Mebis was not dead, just like telling him before that the curse of God Anxelam could be undone.

"Mavis is not dead, is this true?"

Zeref asked urgently.

"Besides, we still have children..."

"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? And Mavis was only in his twenties and was ignorant about love. How could he withstand your burning love?" Ling Yu spread his hands and said.

But it sounds so strange.

Did you pass out because you couldn't bear the love?

This kind of thing should usually happen at night...

When Ling Yu said this, Zeref also reacted.

The curse of God Anxeram is: the more you respect life, the more energy you release to spread death. On the contrary, if you don't respect all life, you will not release the energy of death.

At that time, he released hundreds of years of accumulated emotions in an instant.

It's normal for Mavis to be unable to 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 would be 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."

Jeff was taken aback.

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."

Jeff: "..."

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

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

"Ok."

Miiko nodded.

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

"Ok?"

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 suddenly appeared.
