"How...... Maybe ......," Siqia looked at the land of death beneath her feet, looking extremely incredulous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I sense a danger from the cursed aura on you, and this may be the reason why you have been able to find me in this mystical grassland, this cursed aura is affecting you......" Zeref said again, his expression starting to turn cold.

"Your curse tells you that you have to kill, so you start killing the Dragon Slayer Magus, and when you become familiar with this killing, the curse further affects you............ Eventually, you found me......"

"No...... It's impossible to ......" Sikia's expression began to struggle, and at the same time, black flames began to burn around her body, and these flames burned in the air and turned into black light and dissipated, but ...... These flames never came close to Zeref, who was close at hand, and gradually Siqia was surrounded by black light, and the whole person disappeared into the black light......

"This is not a curse of the god Anxelam, what kind of human taboo have you committed......" Zeref lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice.

"Wait...... Your strength ......" At this time, Zeref suddenly remembered something, and when he raised his head, he saw Siqia, who was covered in black light, rushing towards him............

………………

――――――――――――――――――

"What happened after that...... Xiu asked coldly.

"When Sikia attacked me once, unfortunately I was cursed, and I was surprised that the death hunt actually took Siqia's life, and her sword stopped only a ......centimeter away from me," Zeref said softly.

"Ya'er was taken away by your death hunt......" After hearing this, Xiu's expression became even colder, "Are you really sure?"

"Sure......" Zeref didn't care at all about Xiu's colder tone, and his tone was still very light.

"Finally...... What did you do......" Xiu asked again.

"I didn't do anything, and I was really surprised when I found out that my death hunt had killed Sikia, and I thought that she was also immortal like me...... But it turns out...... She's not...... Maybe she just had the power of that curse...... But that's it, she's dead, and I still don't dare to come close......" Zeref's brow actually furrowed.

"What do you mean...... "Xiu's brow furrowed.

"Even though she's dead, her body is still surrounded by a black curse, and it still gives me a very dangerous feeling, subconsciously told me...... Her curse could kill me once I got close......"

"I don't know what I thought at the time, I didn't dare to approach when I wanted to experience death, but now I think that if I had come closer, maybe ...... I can't be in front of you now, so I can't bury Sikia at that time...... In the end, I had to do nothing but leave," Zeref's words finally fell.

Xiu, on the other hand, fell silent.

"Xiu, you know what I was going to say to Sikia at the end......" Zeref laughed.

"What ......"

"Who gave Sikia the power?" Zeref smiled lightly, which made Xiu's heart tremble a little, and also made Xiu's heart sink......

"Are you trying to say that I am the root of all the troubles......" Xiu's fist clenched for a second and then relaxed.

"Hehe, Sikia's curse has made sacrificial magic almost non-existent in this world, and you, Xiu Aroknia, can still use this ancient magic normally, and...... Also under Mardo's reminder, the cursed breath can be perceived, all this ......"

"Is it normal...... Zeref's last words were deep and mocking.

Xiu was silent, but his face was very bad, very bad............

――――――――――――――――――

"Brother......

"What's wrong......

"What if...... If you want to meet the real Sikia sooner...... So...... Please kill me......" The girl's words made Xiu stunned.

After being silent for a long time, Xiu gradually stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head......

"I'm not going to do that, whoever it is...... can't hurt you......" Xiu's final tone was very heavy, and the girl could see that Xiu was serious, even if it was the end...... He wouldn't let her get hurt in any way......

This...... It also made her smile very happy.

……………………

"Ah Xiu...... Do you know the purpose of your existence?" asked Xiang Xiu in a very heavy tone.

"What do I mean?" Xiu was stunned for a moment, and Meng Li suddenly asked this sentence that made him a little confused.

"To Sikia, to me, to everyone......" Meng Li's tone was still heavy.

"This ...... What's wrong, big brother?" Xiu was still puzzled.

"We have no objection to you traveling, but you have to remember who you are, to Sikia, you are her only brother, to me, you are my only relative, I have almost nothing but you, my brother...... And Uncle Ollie, he also needs you as a righteous son, you are also his only one, and everything here is centered on you......"

"Big Brother ......"

"You don't need to say much, although you know what you used to do, but you don't need to remember much, you just need to remember your present...... Live well, so that we can see the life at any time......"

――――――――――――――――――

The events of seven years ago came back to Xiu's mind again, Siqia's words at that time and Mengli's words......

He kept his old word and didn't let anyone get harmed, but now he ......

"Heart...... It's so heavy...... "This is the only feeling Xiu has at this time......

Zeref looked at Xiu's uncomfortable expression, and he didn't seem to have any more plans to say anything because of Xiu's discomfort.

Silence, after a long silence, Xiu slowly said the first sentence, "No matter what......"

"I'm going to take care of everything now...... What have you done in the past...... I'm going to take it all on too......" Xiu said in a low voice, gritting his teeth.

"Is that so, perhaps...... You're going to face all of this soon......" Zeref smiled, looked around and sighed again, "It's a powerful power, isn't it, Xiu, the power of this sacrificial magic ......"

"What are you talking about...... Xiu's eyes widened a little when he heard Zeref say this.

"Haven't you discovered this magic that flattens a city...... But your magic......" Zeref laughed.

"How could it be ......" This had to make Xiu unbelievable, because since he arrived here, Xiu had not felt a trace of sacrificial magic.

"That's all I have to say, promise I must keep ......," Zeref smiled.

"You make it clear, what promises...... Xiu asked.

"Senior, the deal between us is over, I have told you everything that happened four hundred years ago, I can't say much about the present, a person's commitment is very important, isn't it, senior......" Zeref began to call Xiu as senior at this time.

Hearing Zeref say this, Xiu gritted his teeth, "Can't you say anything......"

"Well, I can't say anything about the guy you're trying to chase right now, but...... I can tell you a little bit about the rest of the irrelevant......" Zeref nodded slightly.

"What's the matter......" Xiu immediately asked.

"Although Sikia slaughtered a large number of dragon slayer wizards four hundred years ago, it was only a large number, and now the dragon slaying magic is called lost magic because it is after Siqia...... Akunorolia also attacked them...... Akunorolia also eliminated the remaining dragons-slayer after killing all the dragons...... And a lot of sacrificial ......," Zeref said, looking at Xiu and laughing.

"......" Xiu was silent, but his expression was a little shocked......

"Akunorolia has been searching for a powerful magic for four hundred years, and once it appears, it will erase its existence, and in the end, what a good name," Zeref laughed.

"And senior, who was the end you asked at the beginning...... I can tell you that the demons have a uniform name......"

"Etherious ......"

――――――――――――――――――

Today, Magnolia at midnight is quieter than usual.

At first glance, there was no light at all, not only because Magnolia had almost no inhabitants at this time, but also because the inexplicable oppressive aura made this broken city feel like a dead city......

It seems to be on Lucy's residence, maybe not......

At this time, there was a person surrounded by black aura standing on the roof of the house, and the bright red pupils in the black light made people feel extremely cold.

And in the girls' dormitory of Fairy Tail, Mirajane sat on her bed and looked at the book on top of the quilt with a sad face......

Although the lights were on in the dormitory, from the outside, the lights were too dim......

It's just enough to light up Mirajane's body......
