Chapter 406 The Black Dragon's Attack and Evacuation (Happy Chinese New Year~)
The battle on "Tenrou Island," the evil thoughts from "The Heart of the Devil," and the intense dark magic aura released by Hades—all these factors were stimulating Zeref's nerves.
Jelf had a premonition that the black dragon's attention might be drawn here.
Over the years, the appearance of the Black Dragon has actually followed a pattern. Places where evil thoughts, malice, and resentment gather are the Black Dragon's first choice, and the aura of massacre also fascinates it.
The Black Dragon Society would pursue those who possessed the aura of massacre, completely destroy their location, and then disappear without a trace once again.
Most people would be completely unaware of this, but Zeref has lived for so long and has been keeping an eye on the Black Dragon, so naturally he would be able to discover these things. It's not something he's been wanting to kill the Black Dragon for just a day or two.
"Zeref! You finally showed up!"
Hades was instantly energized when he saw Jelf suddenly appear. He was the first to react, partly because he was the person on the field who knew Jelf the most.
The old man appeared extremely excited. The way he looked at Zeref was as if he were looking at "hope." The incredibly powerful Zeref was his only "hope" to turn the tide.
"As long as we can awaken Zeref and turn him back to his true self, these Fairy Tail guys won't be able to cause any trouble!"
Hades was filled with passion, hoping that Zeref could turn the tide and kill all these despicable bastards!
Hades had some idea of Zeref's strength. Back then, thanks to Mavis's introduction, Precht was able to learn magic from Zeref, so he naturally knew how powerful this legendary "progenitor of dark magic" Zeref was.
In fact, Zeref also had a deep impression of Precht. When he was teaching Mavis, Precht, Yuri, and Warold, Zeref thought that Precht was very talented.
But it seems that Precht has completely gone astray; he has utterly abandoned the ideals he held when he was with Mebius.
"You came here for me?"
Standing in the crowd, as the focus of everyone's attention, Jelf was neither nervous nor impatient. He calmly looked at the extremely agitated Precht with a composed face.
"That's right! Zeref! We came for you! To awaken you! To help you accomplish a truly great cause!"
Hades immediately answered, his expression exaggerated, especially with his disemboweled appearance, which made him look even stranger. His wounds were slowly healing with granulation tissue, which made people feel a little numb.
"You... will become the true ruler of this world, the King of Magic!"
Hades raised his hands and proclaimed loudly, looking at Zeref with the eyes of a true fanatic.
"Nonsense."
Regarding Hades's incredibly emotional "declaration of loyalty," Zeref succinctly commented that he was not interested in what Hades said at all, and was even very angry about it. He was not that kind of person; he loved life immensely and did not want to cause any bloodshed because of himself.
How could this be...
"
Hades paused for a moment, clearly not satisfied with Zeref's reaction, but he quickly recovered, because he had a plan for this situation and had prepared the "key" to wake Zeref.
At the same time, everyone present also realized what was happening. Looking at Zeref who had suddenly appeared and listening to the conversation between Zeref and Hades, everyone truly understood Zeref's identity.
"Is this Zeref... really that Zeref?!"
Kana's eyes widened and her mouth gaped open; she was utterly shocked.
The sudden attack of "Heart of the Devil" and the fact that its leader, "Hades," is the second-generation leader of "Fairy Tail" and one of the four founders is enough to shock everyone.
Just when it seemed the "Second Generation Guild Master" was about to be defeated and taken down by Moen, the legendary "Ancestor of Dark Mages," Zeref, jumped out again. Could this person even really exist?!
The other Fairy Tail members were just as surprised as Cana. Zeref was a true legendary figure, even more legendary than the Second Guild Master, Precht.
The fact that the "second-generation guild master" Precht turned into a dark mage and turned against Fairy Tail was something that everyone could barely accept. But the appearance of Zeref was really hard to accept; it was like a dream.
Even Makarov was dumbfounded in this situation. He was a man of great experience, but he had never seen anything like it before!
"I have no intention of helping you with these things, nor do I need any awakening. In this era, I do not want to see war break out and innocent people die. I warn you, Precht, to stop fighting immediately and leave Sirius Island, otherwise..."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the legendary "progenitor of dark magic" spoke up, directly refusing Hades' invitation, with a reason that sounded very righteous and awe-inspiring.
This shocked everyone in Fairy Tail even more, since the reputation of this "progenitor of dark magic" has never been good. He is the kind of villain who can "stop a child from crying at night" and should definitely stand on the opposite side of Fairy Tail.
But this Zeref seems a little different!
Even Moen was somewhat surprised. What was this Zeref all about? Wasn't he supposed to be a major villain? This didn't seem right.
Zeref's stance doesn't seem to be what he initially thought. This strange guy is actually a decent person? But what about those "Zeref's demons"?
Those "Zeref's demons" are not fake; they've encountered them more than once. Mirajane is proof of that; the demons she received are all real.
Therefore, although Zeref acted very uprightly, Moen did not let his guard down. Who knew what was really going on with this guy? What if he was just joking?
"Don't rush, don't rush, Zeref, I've prepared the key... the key to awaken you!"
Hades was not disappointed by Jelf's frankness. He remained confident that everything would be alright as long as the "key" worked!
"The legendary key to awaken Zeref is utter nonsense. I have never been asleep for hundreds of years. I only banished myself to avoid causing more innocent casualties. Your so-called key is the real danger."
Jelf's anger was rising. He really didn't expect Hades to summon the black dragon for such a reason. It was a black dragon, a black dragon that even he couldn't deal with.
For so many years, Zeref has wanted to get rid of the Black Dragon, because the Black Dragon's existence is like a sharp blade hanging over this world, a blade that could destroy this world at any time.
Acnologia, the "Black Dragon," possesses the power to dominate the world, yet he merely desires destruction. He claims to want to annihilate humanity, but has never taken action in hundreds of years, acting as a mere bystander. His philosophy of action is difficult to comprehend in many ways.
However, not understanding the "Black Dragon" does not prevent Zeref from wanting to get rid of it, just as he has always wanted to kill himself.
"Wait a minute, what exactly is that key?"
Moen reached out, interrupting their conversation. A sense of foreboding washed over him; could this "key," which even Zeref considered dangerous, really be...?
At the moment, the only existence that Moen can think of that even Zeref would consider dangerous is the "Black Dragon," after all, it is a terrifying existence that almost killed Gildarts instantly.
"6
'
Jelf looked at Moen with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Moen had just teleported him away, leaving him disoriented for a moment, and it took him a while to reorient himself.
The young man in front of him was indeed a force to be reckoned with; this was the first time in all these years that he had suffered a loss at the hands of someone else.
"Black Dragon, Acnologia."
Jelf spoke up without any attempt to hide anything.
"What?! A black dragon!"
Gildarts reacted the most strongly upon hearing that the "Black Dragon" was coming. After all, he was the only survivor among those who had encountered the "Black Dragon," and the terror of the "Black Dragon" was deeply ingrained in his mind and could not be dispelled in a short time.
Even Zeref probably couldn't have imagined that someone could survive after encountering the "Black Dragon".
Upon hearing the word "black dragon," everyone in Fairy Tail's expression changed. They had all heard of the legend of the "black dragon."
A casual strike nearly killed Gildarts; who wouldn't be terrified? That "Black Dragon" could probably kill them with a single breath!
"President! We must get everyone out of here immediately!"
Gildarts immediately looked at Guild Master Makarov. There was no time to worry about that now. The priority was to get everyone off the island. It was true that "Tenrou Island" was the "holy land" of "Fairy Tail," but they had absolutely no chance of winning against "Black Dragon"!
If we save the people but lose the land, we can save both; if we save the land but lose the people, we can lose both. Now is not the time to protect "Tianlang Island". They can escape with their lives and there will always be a day when they can take revenge and reclaim "Tianlang Island"!
"We have to go!"
Makarov did not hesitate. Kirdas's experience and Zeref's attitude proved the terror of the "black dragon".
Although they have Moen, this is not something to gamble on. Even if Moen can defeat the "Black Dragon," he may not be able to protect everyone. They would be better off leaving "Sky Wolf Island."
"Kildarts! You're leaving with the children!"
Makarov looked at Kirdas and gave the order with a serious expression.
"President! What about you?!"
Kirdas immediately understood the problem with Makarov's words. What did he mean by telling him to take his men with him? Wasn't the chairman himself going with them?
"I want to stay. What kind of elder would abandon their children?"
Makarov was very determined because he saw that neither of his two grandsons intended to leave, and under these circumstances, he naturally could not leave; he could not abandon his two children.
"6
'
Laxus glanced at Moen, who gave him a wink, signaling him to leave first and take the old man with him, but Laxus pretended not to see it.
"6
'
Moen was speechless. After not seeing him for a while, his brother was still the same old brother.
In this situation, it's impossible to expect Laxus to back down; he will absolutely not leave, but will instead rush to the front lines.
Fairy Tail is naturally incredibly important to Laxus, and now he's also carrying a sense of atonement, practically wishing he could sacrifice himself for Fairy Tail.
Therefore, Laxus not only ignored Moen's hints, but also told Moen to leave, leaving him to hold the line.
Unfortunately, no matter how confident Laxus is, he can't handle this kind of situation. He couldn't even withstand "Heart of the Demon," let alone with Zeref and "Black Dragon."
"It's too late, he... he's already here."
Zeref observed the actions of the Fairy Tail members, but he knew it was all in vain. Looking at the distant clouds, he could already sense the presence of the Black Dragon.
"It's not too late at all. If we want to leave, even Black Dragon can't stop us."
Moen looked at Zeref and became certain of one thing: although Zeref seemed righteous, he actually had no intention of helping and had no intention of fighting against the "Black Dragon".
There's nothing to criticize about that. It just means he knows his own abilities. If he can't beat someone, he can't beat them. He won't do anything unnecessary. He won't sacrifice himself to save the people of Fairy Tail because he has more important things to do.
Moen doesn't need Zeref's help. If he wants to send everyone from Fairy Tail away, he only needs to use "space teleportation." Even if his ability isn't enough to teleport thousands of troops, it's still easy to teleport these dozen or so people.
"Let's go, wait for my good news."
Moen did not hesitate, because he also sensed that destructive aura; the legendary "Black Dragon" was really coming.
"Buzz!"
Moen focused his mind and directly targeted the members of Fairy Tail, quickly activating his Spatial Teleportation ability.
"Mountie! You can't do that!"
Makarov's expression changed drastically. He was also Moen's target. Caught off guard, he only had time to shout one sentence before his figure disappeared along with the other members of Fairy Tail.
Moen's actions were so sudden and decisive that Makarov and the others didn't have time to react before being teleported off the island by "spatial transfer".
The scenery before them changed, and they were back in Harugeon. Moen couldn't teleport any further, but being teleported to Harugeon meant they were temporarily out of danger.
"Moen! That brat..."
Makarov was extremely anxious. He cursed and immediately went to find a ship. He had to go back because Moen and Laxus were still on "Sirius Island." How could he leave them behind?! Laxus wasn't with them, so naturally he couldn't come along.
