Chapter 2878 The most ferocious, most powerful, and most evil progenitor of black magic!
Ten minutes ago.
Located on the continent of Arakidasia.
The capital of the Alvarez Empire.
The top floor of the Royal Palace Castle in Vistallion.
Jerf, using the pseudonym Spriggan, stood alone on the spacious balcony.
He was wearing a black high-necked robe, the white fabric of which fluttered slightly in the night breeze.
His deep, cool black eyes gazed silently at the boundless starry sky, lost in thought.
"Anna and Natsu should have arrived in this era by now."
Jeff parted his thin lips slightly.
Whisper softly in a voice only you can hear.
Today is July 7th, X777, the day the sun and moon meet.
The Eclipse Gate, which he created four hundred years ago in order to 'go back in time and kill his younger self,' will be opened tonight by two Celestial Spirit Mages working together.
It was a door that connected the past and the future.
A few minutes later.
Zeref keenly sensed that five familiar magical auras suddenly appeared in the direction of the distant continent of Ishgar.
I could sense the presence of Ignir within it.
A faint smile appeared on that usually expressionless face, a rare sight indeed.
This is the expectation of finally seeing a glimmer of hope after four hundred years.
however.
Just before that smile had fully bloomed.
A sudden change occurred.
Jelf suddenly found his consciousness becoming blurred.
My spirit seemed to be instantly ripped away by some irresistible force.
Before the man known to the world as the 'progenitor of black magic' could react...
The night sky and the palace scene before my eyes distorted like ripples on water.
When vision became clear again.
He found himself sitting at a strange round table of stars.
Faced with this sudden change.
Jelf's heart was in turmoil.
But he was, after all, the most ferocious, powerful, and evil dark mage in the history of magic, having lived for over four hundred years.
He managed to calm himself down thanks to his extraordinary composure.
He did not show the slightest inappropriate reaction.
He simply sat there quietly, observing his surroundings and the four unfamiliar figures around the round table with his calm, dark eyes.
A little girl with pink pigtails and wearing a black princess dress.
A black-haired boy dressed in a noble-style knight's outfit, looking somewhat tired.
A tall, robust young man with a face full of curiosity.
Finally, he looked at the man sitting next to him, who wore a white haori and black-rimmed glasses, and had a gentle and refined demeanor.
They looked at each other silently, sizing each other up.
Jelf could keenly sense that the other party possessed an unfathomable depth of cunning.
Meanwhile, Aizen was also scrutinizing Zeref and developing a strong interest in him.
After a brief silence, he broke the calm and began to fulfill his duties as administrator.
First, he habitually stretched out his slender fingers and gently pushed up the reflective glasses on the bridge of his nose.
His handsome face still wore a warm and gentle smile.
She then introduced herself elegantly and calmly:
"Welcome, I am the administrator here, Aizen Sousuke. Congratulations on being selected as the fifth member of the council."
"This place is called the 'Council of Stars,' created by the 'Lord of the Stars,' and is a node of consciousness that can traverse endless worlds and connect different destinies."
As for why it was you, it can only be said to be the result of fate.
The voice just fell.
The other three people present also expressed their goodwill.
"Horo horo horo~"
"Hello, my name is Perona, and I'm a student at the Starfish Onmyodo School. Welcome to the school!"
Perona greeted him with a big, round smile.
Joseph leaned back in his chair with a nonchalant air and waved: "Hi! I'm Joseph Joestar!"
"Your outfit is quite unique, buddy!"
Natsuki Subaru nodded politely: "Nice to meet you. My name is Natsuki Subaru. It's a pleasure to meet you."
In response to their friendly attitude, Jelf simply nodded slightly.
He listened patiently and tried his best to understand every word Aizen said.
At the same time, remain rational and calm throughout.
He was neither as terrified as Subaru when he first arrived, nor did he shout like Joseph.
But a hint of surprise inevitably flickered in his eyes.
Aizen placed his hands on the table and continued to explain in his magnetic voice:
"Then, could Mr. Jelf Dragneel please introduce himself to everyone?"
"It would be best if you could also tell me what kind of world you live in."
"Of course, you can listen to us first."
Jelf felt a slight tremor in his heart.
This man named Aizen actually said his own name accurately.
They even know the surnames that haven't been used for a long time.
This made him realize that hiding his identity in front of this 'administrator' was pointless.
I guess the other person was reminding me of that.
To avoid making a fool of oneself by using a false identity.
Jelf lowered his eyes, looked at the four people present, and spoke slowly in a low, restrained tone:
“My name is Jelf Dragnier, and I am the ruler of the Alvarez Empire.”
"Also a mage who explores the truth of magic."
The ruler of the Empire?!
These words were spoken.
The previously quiet Star Council instantly erupted into chaos.
"OH MY GOD!"
Joseph Joestar stared wide-eyed, leaned back dramatically, and clutched his head in astonishment, exclaiming, "A king?!"
"I'm actually sitting at the same table as an emperor in a meeting?"
"This is even more outrageous than encountering a vampire!"
"Horo horo horo~"
Perona also covered her mouth in surprise, her big, round eyes full of curiosity.
"Wow, it's actually His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Your empire must be very large, right?"
"I wonder how it compares to the Qin Empire in the Imperial Arms world?"
Because this was the empire she knew best.
While Natsuki Subaru was shocked by the other party's identity as a ruler.
They keenly spotted another key word.
"and many more!"
"You just said you're a mage too?"
He placed his hands on the table, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"I've been working hard to learn magic lately!"
Natsuki Subaru got more and more excited as he spoke: "You must be very strong, right? Could you please give me some pointers in the future?"
Aizen is good, but he doesn't know magic, so I can't teach him that.
Faced with Subaru Natsuki's enthusiastic questioning.
Jelf's face did not show much emotion.
He simply replied calmly and restrainedly:
"It should be alright, but I'm better at studying magic theory."
This seemingly casual reply, however, held a deeper meaning for Aizen.
Skilled in studying magical theories?
They sound like kindred spirits from different fields.
After answering Subaru Natsuki, Zeref did not forget Aizen's suggestion.
"The world I live in is mainly composed of three huge continents."
"They are Ishgar in the East, Arachdasia in the West, and Giltina in the North."
"And there exist countless kingdoms, as well as magic guilds composed of numerous mages."
Simply put, it's a world where magical civilization is highly developed and has become integrated into people's daily lives.
Perona tilted her head after hearing this: "It's kind of like the Black Grass World~"
