Chapter 524

Mavis stared vigilantly at Zeref, who had walked in. After explaining to Luo Miou, Macao, and the others, she was the first to walk out, blocking everyone behind her.

"Zeref, you finally came!"

"Ah, I have waited for this moment for a long time, Mavis, no, Fairy Heart!"

Zeref stared at Mavis with cold eyes and said faintly: "Alright, hand over your infinite magic power to me!"

Before Mavis could speak, Makarov, who had been in a withered state since releasing Fairy Law, suddenly stood out and shouted loudly at Zeref: "Don't even think about it!"

"As long as I am alive, I will absolutely not hand over the First Master to you!"

The moment Makarov's voice fell, Macao, Luo Miou, and the others also echoed with determination: "The First Master is the First Master, not some Fairy Heart. If you want to take the First Master away, you'll have to get past us first!"

"Everyone..."

Mavis saw everyone looking like they were going to risk their lives against Zeref, and a warm current rose in her heart.

"Makarov, Third Master of Fairy Tail, I originally intended to use your life to stimulate Natsu!"

"But at this point, it doesn't matter anymore!"

"As long as I obtain the Fairy Heart, everything will end!"

As Zeref spoke, he took large strides in the direction of Mavis.

Seeing Zeref walking over, Makarov's eyes narrowed instantly, and his body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, Makarov transformed into a giant and punched toward the approaching Zeref.

The moment Makarov made his move, Mavis's expression changed drastically.

"Third Master, don't go over there!"

Mavis knew Zeref's terror.

If Makarov went up like this, he would definitely be killed in an instant by Zeref.

But Makarov's fist had already been thrown, and even if he heard Mavis's words, it was impossible to retract.

Just as Makarov's huge fist landed above Zeref's head, Zeref raised his arm, and a huge purple magic circle instantly appeared above his palm.

Boom—

The next second, Makarov's fist slammed into that magic circle.

Accompanied by a violent clashing sound, a very dazzling light swept out from that magic circle.

Makarov saw the light within that magic circle, and his old face changed drastically.

Immediately following, Makarov's massive body was swallowed by that dazzling light.

Just as Makarov was about to be annihilated by Zeref's black magic, Makarov's body suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Vanished?"

Seeing Makarov's figure vanish, Macao, Luo Miou, and the others, who had been incomparably worried, were all shocked.

And Zeref, who was releasing magic, was first stunned, then his gaze looked fiercely toward a certain place in the hall.

Under Zeref's gaze, the figures of Ye Yu, Erza, and Wendy appeared out of thin air.

"You came really fast!"

Hmm?

Hearing Zeref's words, Macao, Luo Miou, and the others all followed Zeref's gaze.

When Macao, Luo Miou, and the others saw Ye Yu, Erza, and their group, they were overjoyed.

"Ye Yu, Erza!"

Although Macao and the others knew Zeref was very strong.

But Ye Yu was the person who had killed Acnologia.

The moment Ye Yu appeared, the worry in Macao and the others' hearts instantly vanished, replaced only by peace of mind.

"Ye Yu, you finally returned, Master, Master he..."

Seeing the happy yet worried expressions of Macao and the others, Ye Yu said: "The Master is here!", then waved his hand, and Zeref, who had vanished within Zeref's magic circle, appeared once again in everyone's field of vision.

Clearly, it was Ye Yu who had made a move just now to save Makarov from Zeref's hands.

"Ye Yu, be careful, this person is..."

Makarov, whose figure had shrunk, seemed afraid that Ye Yu didn't know Zeref, and immediately explained to Ye Yu.

But before Makarov could finish his sentence, Ye Yu interrupted him.

"We meet again, Zeref!"

Ye Yu looked at Zeref and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Last time when wiping out Mard Geer, Zeref had appeared before Ye Yu once.

Therefore, Ye Yu and Zeref could indeed be considered to have met again.

"August and Eileen were both unable to block your path; as expected of the mage who killed Acnologia!"

"Although I don't have much confidence in being able to defeat you, as long as I obtain the Fairy Heart, this war will be my victory!"

Zeref curled the corners of his mouth into an arc and said to Ye Yu.
