Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

In the hearts of undead beings like demons, the truly precious things are the opposite of what humans crave in the mundane world.

"Oh, that's troublesome." Natsu said helplessly. "I originally wanted to bring Erza and Gray along, but I heard the enemy is quite powerful. It's an entire guild, and the guild leader is a very powerful mage."

"Too bad Erza isn't back yet, and Gray, hahaha, he's still sleeping after you punched him!"

When Gray was mentioned, Natsu's helpless expression instantly changed, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Wait a minute." Ximu suddenly turned around. "A mage?"

“That’s right!” Seeing that Ximu had become interested, Natsu quickly explained, “The Dark Guild Iron Forest’s guild leader uses wind magic, that’s known information.”

Upon hearing Natsu's words, Shiki's eyes darted around.

"Wind magic?" He smirked. "I finally get to travel, looks like I should bring back some local specialties for the guys back home, and maybe add a page to my spellbook while I'm at it?"

Zhou Lan seemed to understand who west Mu was thinking of.

Although it is unknown whether the power possessed by an ordinary mage guild master in the early stages of this world was strong enough to be used by Xiaofeng.

But at least Ximu has this intention.

“Dark guilds, which are guilds that use magic to commit evil deeds, are quite numerous in this world,” Zhou Lan said.

"That's bad." Ximu smiled. "So it turns out that I, Lord Ximu, am now on the side of justice."

He made an exaggerated expression and let out a sigh that revealed no real emotion.

Since Ximu has decided to get involved...

Natsu simply shared the basic intelligence about this mission with Ximu and Zhou Lan.

The Dark Guild, Iron Forest.

The purpose was to take advantage of the meeting of the leaders of many righteous guilds to use the Cursed Flute Lalabai to unleash a dark magic spell that would kill anyone who heard it, enough to curse all the guild leaders attending the meeting.

The melody of curse.

The intelligence was delivered to Fairy Tail on short notice. Time was tight and the task was heavy, but none of the five S-rank mages in the guild were currently at the guild.

That's why this task fell into Natsu's hands.

Natsu was unsure of Nishiki's strength.

But he was certain of Zhou Lan's strength.

Lucy was even happier, wishing she could raise both hands and feet to support Zhou Lan and west Mu together.

Simply put, these two people don't care about money at all.

Where else can you find such an "excellent" companion?

Lucy could almost picture Zhou Lan and Ximu waving their hands dismissively after the mission was completed, saying things like "I don't need this kind of thing," which was quite arousing.

“Let’s go!” Natsu exclaimed excitedly.

Moments later, the train sped along the tracks, heading towards the location of the meeting.

The location of the Dark Guild Iron Forest is uncertain, so they can only go to the dangerous area in advance to intercept them.

As for Ximu, he had indeed made it clear in advance that he did not need any payment.

The only price to pay is a wisp of fire-based dragon-slaying magic.

The process of obtaining it was very simple; Natsu didn't hide anything from him.

He exhaled a breath of flame, then boarded the train and fainted.

Ximu incorporated this Fire Dragon Slayer magic into the Sky Codex and simultaneously began to deconstruct it.

Dragon Slayer Magic is magic that imitates dragons in combat. Ximu studied it carefully and seemed to have come up with another interesting idea.

After getting on the bus, he immersed himself in the Celestial Codex.

Demon wizards are adept at studying new and exciting magic, especially a young and energetic one.

"Although it is very powerful in this world, Dragon Slayer Magic is not a powerful magic worth learning, or rather, its power is not enough to make people accept its side effects."

Zhou Lan reminded Xi Mu.

“Of course I know.” Ximu grinned. “Trust me, boss, I have a better way.”

Chapter 306 I'll Accept Your Magic

Ximu seemed to have also noticed the side effects of the Dragon Slayer Magic.

That means it will cause dizziness in any vehicle with transportation attributes.

Perhaps he will find a way to resolve this side effect once he returns to his peak, but at least for now, Ximu cannot do so.

After all, even Acnologia, the black dragon, the strongest dragon slayer mage, who even successfully transformed into a dragon, could not overcome this side effect.

This is more like a rule imprinted on this world level, and it cannot be erased by brute force alone.

Zhou Lan's reminder stemmed from her concern that he might delve into dragon-slaying magic in order to quickly enhance his combat power.

He didn't want to have to drag a motion-sick Shinki around like Natsu was now.

He lay on the chair, spitting bubbles, unconscious.

Ximu understood Zhou Lan's concerns and said, "Trust me, boss. I've never lacked any talent in magic."

He seemed very confident: "You'll see him in a little while."

As he spoke, he threw himself back into the Celestial Codex and began working on it once more.

Zhou Lan let him go.

The train sounded its whistle and finally stopped at Osibana station.

When the train doors opened, Lucy dragged Natsu to the station, where a large group of mages, ready to go, came into view.

Each of them wore a sinister smile, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"It's a mage from the Iron Forest!" Lucy immediately realized.

Ironforge also mobilized its forces in response to the leak of information.

The group of mages who came to intercept them was the solution.

"Master Erigor has already noticed all of this. He is on his way to the meeting with the Magic Flute Lala Bay. As for you, we will handle you."

A mage from the Iron Forest spoke with unwavering confidence.

His gaze drifted toward the station.

A young man still recovering from motion sickness, and a seemingly delicate woman...

Immediately afterwards, two more figures emerged from the car.

He scrutinized the boy carefully; it was another young-looking boy with a magic book floating beside him.

The only one who posed a real threat was the middle-aged man among the four.

The other guys looked more like newbies who were there to get some experience.

"We'll take care of that middle-aged man first," he ordered the group behind him, looking like a cadre.

It's hard to say whether he was right or just guessed correctly; this Iron Forest executive, despite not being particularly strong, was...

But it was clear at a glance that the strongest one had been ranked.

In some wrong way.

"Natsu, wake up!" Lucy quickly patted Natsu's back, trying to wake him up. "They're fighting!"

"Fight!" Natsu stood up as if he had suddenly regained his strength, standing straight.

Then he vomited and collapsed.

"Why...do we always have to travel by car?" he asked, his mouth bubbling.

"Run, Natsu!" A beam of magic shot out, and Happy the blue cat quickly grabbed Natsu and flew up to the station dome.

Surprisingly, when he was with Zhou Lan and west Mu, he suddenly became very quiet.

"Go! Take these guys down!" The Iron Forest cadre was the first to rush towards Zhou Lan.

He is the strongest among them, so naturally he must fight the strongest enemy in his eyes.

So without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards Zhou Lan.

Then he obediently knelt down halfway.

The powerful gravity pressed him down so hard he couldn't lift his head or even stand up, and he couldn't even see how Zhou Lan was releasing her magic.

“This…” came a confused and flustered voice from the crowd in the Iron Forest.

"Alright, little minions, witness the magic that Lord Ximu has comprehended." Ximu smiled, and the Sky Codex floating beside him came to him. He said with pleasure, "It is your honor."

Within the framework of the Black Dragon's remains in the Celestial Codex, the patterns of a magic circle instantly formed within the dark vortex, and a light screen immediately spread out.

It swept away like a gust of wind, passing through the group in the Iron Forest.

In an instant, the crowd swept by the dark light curtain suddenly began to change shape.

The next second, birds, beasts, rats, and mosquitoes fled in panic in all directions like a flood that had been released.

At a glance, no one was standing there anymore.

Lucy stared wide-eyed, covering her mouth as she stared blankly at the scene.

"What kind of magic is this?" she murmured. "I've never seen anything like it before..."

"As you can see." Ximu shrugged indifferently. "Alright, let's go find that Eric Gor."

He walked ahead on his own.

It wasn't that he disdained absorbing the magic of these ordinary mages; it was just that these guys were too weak, and even if he drained their magic power, he might not be able to inscribe a single useful spell.

Let's get straight to the point.

As for the light screen just now, it was a receiving magic modified by the demon wizard Ximu.

The new passive magic reception technique is similar in concept to Shendu's Monkey Talisman.

Forcing the other party to accept weaker physical strength.

If the magic is powerful enough, it is possible to resist it by force or break through the deformation.

Unfortunately, these guys don't possess that kind of power.

However, there's no need to worry about remaining in this naturally weak state for the rest of your life, waiting for the magic power you passively receive to dissipate and the time limit to end.

The deformation will naturally return to normal.

But before that, they must experience firsthand the profound meaning of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Meanwhile, Eligoro, the guild master of the Dark Guild Iron Forest, carrying a scythe and using the wind to propel himself through the air at great speed, was flying towards the meeting place.

The cursed magic flute, Lalabai, resembled a withered tree trunk, with its head shaped like a withered skull.

A terrifying aura emanated continuously from within the Magic Flute.

Something seems to be sealed inside this cursed flute.

With the help of wind magic, Erigor's speed is incredibly fast.

However, by the afternoon, he had already arrived at the meeting place where the guild leaders were gathered.

He looked at the figures moving around in the room not far away, took down his magic flute, and tried to activate dark magic to play the melody of the curse.

"Wait a minute, you bastard!" A roar came from the side, and the flying blue cat Happy, carrying Natsu, rushed out from below, his fist wreathed in flames.

Eligor reacted with lightning speed, reaching forward to form a magic circle instantly. He whispered, "Storm Wall!"

A thick wall of wind immediately formed, blocking the way in the middle.

Natsu's Fire Dragon Fist was blocked, and Happy's flight boost finally reached its limit, causing him to fall to the ground.

“Annoying bugs, you think you can stop me?” Eligor glanced at his feet, and as an even larger magic circle appeared in his palm, he growled, “Emerald Swift!”

The physical wind burst forth from the sky like a meteor.

This is his signature move, a swift and penetrating wind magic.

The emerald green exploded through the ground, sending dust and smoke billowing everywhere.
