Chapter 10: The Archmage of Darkness
Woz spent five hours searching the dry forest area. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info walked all the way to the edge of the dry forest area, still finding nothing, and not even feeling any special magic fluctuations, which made Woz unsuspecting that he was overthinking.
And judging from Jelf's character, he will not deliberately deprive his life, and should prefer to stay in a no-man's land, so he should not go near this village...... So he wouldn't be here, would he?" Woz stood in thought.
"No, no, what happened here is still unexplainable......" Wadsz shook his head, rejecting his speculation, "Sure enough, Jelf is the most suspicious, right?
"Are you looking for me?" suddenly heard the voice of a strange man behind Woz.
Woz was shocked in his heart, until just now, he didn't even notice anyone approaching! You must know that Woz has always been very cautious when performing the mission alone, and he has never been successfully attacked, but at this moment, if it weren't for the man behind him who didn't do it directly, but spoke up to say hello first, Woz felt that he couldn't avoid his sneak attack!
Did you still meet it? Wads's heart smiled helplessly, he was able to approach this distance quietly, and even after the other party spoke, he still couldn't feel his presence, and he thought that it was only the legendary dark archmage Gerf, right? Woz turned around slowly, and saw a young man with black hair and pale complexion holding on to a dead tree, looking at him quietly, appearing so abruptly and so naturally, as if he had been standing there.
Woz sighed, "I'd rather not find you." ”
"Fairy Tail?" Jelf didn't bother to make a move, instead staring at Woz with interest. Although he didn't see the guild crest, he was able to see exactly where Woz belonged.
"If it were those dark guilds, I would probably be happy, wouldn't they?" said Woz shrugged, not surprised that Jelf had seen through his guild, he knew very well that Jelf had a deep connection with Fairy Tail, and only showed the guild coat of arms on the title page of the magic book as proof. In fact, Woz suspects that the other party can chat with him so calmly in large part because he is the magician of Fairy Tail.
Jelf, the man who was too young and handsome in appearance, looked at Wox and said, "It's strange that I can feel your strength, but not your magic...... No, it's strange that you can only feel the magic and presence of the book in your hand. ”
"It's just that the so-called power in your mouth makes people feel sarcastic. ”
Jerk was noncommittal, and instead asked, "Are you here to crusade against me?" ”
Woz hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, I haven't swelled my confidence to that extent. I'm just here to investigate the whereabouts of the villagers of that village, as well as the few magicians who entered the other day. ”
Jelf said "oh", "And then, to avenge them?"
Wodds said, "May I consider this your reply?"
"And then?" he repeated.
Woz frowned, "I didn't think you were someone who would deliberately slaughter ordinary villagers......"
"I don't remember that I was such a kind person, and it was true that the village was just unlucky to be affected, but I have no intention of explaining anything, and it is true. Now what about your options?"
"I have no intention of going to war with you. ”
Jelf chuckled, "You don't look like a wizard of Fairy Tail. ”
"I'll report the situation here," Wadsey said. ”
"It's going to bother me, and if you do that, I won't be able to stay here."
Woz grabbed the spellbook and raised his mind, "Are you going to stop me?"
"Are you afraid of my stop?" asked Jelf playfully, "but you give me a strange feeling, and for some reason, I hate you. ”
"Because I'm not afraid of you?" Woz raised his eyebrows, indeed he was too calm when he lost Djelf, and he didn't have the nervous fear that ordinary people would have when they encountered the most evil sorcerer in history. But this is not that Woz is not afraid of Jelf, but he knows that Jerf still retains the "goodness" in his heart at this time, and will not take the initiative to kill more, and he also has the impression bonus of the guild, which is actually not too dangerous. But the other party's words made Woz feel a little bad.
"Yes, because you are not afraid of me. You know very well who I am, but even then you are not afraid of me. Your tone, your attitude and even your very existence make me feel uncomfortable. Gerf also looked a little confused, "It's weird, I rarely feel this way." ”
Woz was on guard, but he didn't notice Jelf's killing intent, so he patiently looked for an opportunity to break the deadlock, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Jelf suddenly showed a strange expression: "I really have no intention of killing you, but it doesn't prevent me from watching you die......"
Woz suddenly understood his intentions and immediately stepped away from the surroundings of Jelf. The change in the atmosphere just now is not a feeling, but a tangible magic fluctuation in the surrounding environment!
"The Curse of Axellam", the large-scale indiscriminate death curse that erupts from time to time around Jelf.
An inexplicable wave of magic instantly expanded around Jelf, and where the ominous gray-black magic swept through, no life could survive.
"Damn!" Waz cursed, and a flood of words poured out of the book, building defenses. But when the curse passed, the layers of magical protection had no effect, and were pierced by gray-black as if they didn't exist, and Woz immediately fell. The words that lost control immediately returned to the book, and only a small part was left outside to form a defensive shield to protect Woz's body, which was an emergency trigger magic he had set up in advance.
Jerph covered his head and stood up in discomfort, looking at Wox who fell to the ground: "I'm a little sorry, but you're really good, you can still survive this...... Maybe I can look forward to you, and your words may have the ability to kill me. He turned his head and walked away slowly, "See you later, don't let me down, unknown goblins." ”
After walking a few steps, the dark magician suddenly remembered something: "Is that so?" I said something familiar...... This strange feeling...... The last time I had a similar feeling was when I ran into Akuno Rolria......" He looked back at Wads, "Is a new game about to begin......"
Woz fell into a deep coma at this time, and the "Curse of Axellam" is a curse that directly acts on life itself, and there is no way to stop it. But the curse itself is also a form of magic. For Woz, who was wearing the "Great Cross Forbidden Seal", the magical effect of the curse was weakened a lot by the strong seal, which left him alive.
At the same time, the northern part of the kingdom is in the snowy mountains.
Lucy is on a mission with Natsu and Harpy to support Macao.
Walking on the snowy mountain road, Lucy shivered from the cold, and couldn't help complaining: "It's so cold here, what kind of mission is in this kind of place?"
"Why did you come along?" Natsu had been resurrected since he got out of the car, ignoring the wind and snow, and his spirits were shining.
Lucy pulled the blanket from Natsu's backpack and wrapped herself around her body, and replied, "It was Mira Jenny who suggested it." She said that it is better for newcomers to follow others first, and get familiar with a few tasks. ”
Natsu said suspiciously, "Isn't this a job for Woz?"
"But Woz's senpai isn't there. ”
Natsu was even more puzzled: "No, the old man seems to have sent him on a mission the day before yesterday, why hasn't he come back yet? He said enviously.
Lucy recalled that Mila Jenny also looked a little confused at the time, and asked, "Is this abnormal?"
"Well, yes, it's been a long time since Woz has been delayed in a mission for more than 24 hours. It has always been completed on the same day and returned on the same day. Natsu, who had thick nerves, said unconcernedly.
Lucy was a little worried, "Is it really okay?" ”
"It's okay, Woz's strong!" Natsu looked like he was burning.
"Strong?" After seeing Natsu's strength as a dragon slayer, Lucy had infinite reverie about what he said was very strong.
"I'll outrun him. Natsu declared, a fire burning in his hand.
In the deserted village, it took a whole day and a night for the magic cage set up by Woz to be broken through by Nabellis. She was definitely not stupid, she had already guessed the general situation of the incident, and she was more sure of the possibility of Gerf's existence when Woz was gone. Having hastily recovered, Nabellis cautiously searched the outside while delivering a letter to headquarters.
She quickly found Woz following the fluctuations of her spell book. The man was lying on the ground, and there was no sign that he was alive except for the faint magic shroud around him.
Nabellis had no doubts about the man's strength, and although she realized that it might be Jelf's haunt, she was still shocked: what kind of magic did it take to defeat him, and what about the man who defeated him? Where was Jelf?
Nabellis gripped his dagger tightly, ready to approach the past.
