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

Admittedly, she understands her limits and knows just how much power it takes to achieve this level.

In a way, Zhou Lan did help everyone.

"No need for thanks. He came for me, so it's only right that I take action." Zhou Lan's voice drifted into the air.

For him, it was nothing more than a trivial matter that could be easily handled.

That is why he was so calm.

Erza felt a pang of loneliness.

This unfamiliar man's power has definitely exceeded the limits of an S-class mage; even the Ten Saints would be no match for him.

An unusual silence filled the air.

Zhou Lan couldn't comprehend the shock of his attack. This level of power was something that both he and Ximu had possessed since they were born and gained self-awareness.

Even much stronger.

In the silence, Ximu's slightly annoyed and regretful voice rang out: "I thought I could watch fireworks."

He shook his head, looking completely unfazed.

Zhou Lan chuckled and looked at him, saying, "Then I'll be more careful next time."

Chapter 322 Makarov: I'm Straight Now

The Spectre is gone.

After being stunned by Zhou Lan's actions, the members of the Fairy Tail guild finally realized the good news.

This guild that took the initiative to provoke the other side finally got what it deserved.

"I'm exhausted, I almost did all the work." A joking exclamation broke the serious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, far away.

Two figures emerged from behind the Phantom Lord's stronghold.

Natsu ran across the ground, heading towards the group.

Above him, Natsu's partner Happy was pulling Lucy along as they flew swiftly behind.

"Lucy, you're so heavy," Happy complained, panting.

"Don't say girls are heavy!" Lucy's face showed both embarrassment and annoyance.

"Huh? Is the fight over already?" Natsu stopped and looked out at the empty battlefield.

Because he was so worried about Lucy's safety, he was the first to rush into the heart of the Phantom Lord's territory.

They also found Lucy, who was temporarily imprisoned.

Surprisingly, the journey went very smoothly, and apart from some incompetent mages, not a single decent mage tried to stop him.

Just as he was about to take Lucy away, he came out to have a good fight and vent his anger.

He was met only by an empty battlefield and the Fairy Tail members with strange expressions.

What's going on?

He was fully prepared for battle.

The fight was already over.

Natsu scratched his pink hair speechlessly: "What? This guild is actually this weak?"

"Uh... it shouldn't be a problem with the guild." Someone answered him, looking in Zhou Lan's direction.

"What kind of guys did you recruit?"

"What happened?" Natsu asked, puzzled.

Is it possible that our guild will become the number one guild on the continent of Aslant in the future?

"Later? Now!"

Natsu didn't understand what his companions were talking about at all. He glanced at Lucy, who had just put her down and was breathing heavily, looking very tired.

Although there was no fight to be had, he was relieved that Lucy was alright.

For some reason, those Phantom Lords didn't harm her at all.

The guild dispute has come to an end.

This day was destined to be an eventful one for the Kingdom of Fiore.

After the enemy was defeated, Fairy Tail returned home.

But at the same time, some rather bad news was presented to everyone.

Guild Master Makarov was ambushed by the wind elemental Aria and has not yet fully recovered.

After his magic was sealed by a sneak attack, he fell from the Phantom Lord's building.

Fortunately, she was discovered by other guild members and was taken to her trusted mage, Ms. Bolusica, for treatment ahead of time.

However, there has been no good news to date.

And that's why the dark clouds still hang over Fairy Tail.

Whether as the guild master or a mage, Makarov was almost an impeccable old man.

They cherish their reputation and care for the guild and every member within it.

His condition also touched the hearts of everyone in the guild.

Of course, with one exception.

"Why is the atmosphere so bad? You'd think that old guy was dead," Ximu said boldly.

Given his performance in this battle, no one could really blame him.

"The president is a good person, sigh." A series of sighs came from all directions.

"Why don't you go and show your face? Maybe the old man is going to elect a new president," someone joked, trying to ease the tension.

In the somber atmosphere, Natsu found Zhou Lan and Ximu.

"Would you like to go visit Grandma Poliusica together?" he invited.

"I have no objection." Ximu seemed to have thought of something and nodded in agreement.

"I'll take you all with me," Natsu quickly said.

He appeared to be all alone, with no one else around him.

Zhou Lan glanced at him and asked, "What about that interesting girl?"

“Lucy…” Natsu scratched his head, “After the Phantom Lord incident was over, Lucy said goodbye to everyone in the guild, saying she had to go home and take care of some things.”

“Everyone’s gone… Oh right, Erza too!” Natsu’s face showed confusion.

Erza had just returned from completing a quest. She usually stays in the guild for a while, but this time she left very early for no apparent reason.

It has just been through turmoil.

“What happened while I was away?” Natsu asked Zhou Lan. “She seemed a bit strange, saying things like she needed to become stronger.”

"Perhaps they suffered a setback?" Ximu said with a chuckle.

Natsu shook his head: "She's not that kind of person. Even if she fails, she'll only force herself to overcome failure."

"He's quite a strong-willed guy," Zhou Lan commented.

“That’s right, Erza is exactly like that!” Natsu agreed wholeheartedly.

He felt that Zhou Lan seemed to have a good eye for people.

He looks like a very wise senior.

Each person in the guild has a different personality and role; Erza, for example, is simply strong and unassuming.

At the same time, there are also many wise strategists.

In contrast, Natsu is more like a simple thug.

The first pair of red-plated members in the Fairy Tail guild, etc.

A moment later, he stood in front of the bed in the room.

Natsu silently looked at Makarov, who was lying on the bed with a furrowed brow but unable to wake up.

"That's roughly the situation. This guy's magic seems to be cursed, and it's hard to recover," Porusica said slowly from the side.

"Isn't there any other way?" Natsu asked Porusika immediately.

“There is a way, but it will take some time, and the losses and success rate are still uncertain…” Poliusika hesitated.

She and Makarov were old acquaintances and had a very good relationship. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was very worried inside.

"The mage who ambushed him has a very special ability. Do you have any information about him?" Poriuska asked.

She hoped to use this opportunity to find possible solutions to Makarov's problem.

Natsu shook his head.

The Spectre Ruler has failed.

However, upon review, it was discovered that of the four elements under his command, only the water element Juvia had vanished without a trace.

It was as if it had vanished into thin air, a fact that even Juvia, one of the four elements, could not explain.

She neither knew nor could answer the question.

She is still unconscious due to the depletion of her magic power.

"Speaking of which, if we bring this old guy back to life, will he give me the chairman's position?"

During Natsu and Poryusika's conversation, Shiki suddenly spoke up and asked Zhou Lan a question.

“You’d have to ask Makarov himself.” Zhou Lan smiled silently.

"You have a way!?" Poryusika's eyes lit up as she looked at Nishiki.

With a casual wave of his hand, west Mu sent the Azure Sky Codex slowly descending from the sky.

He asked doubtfully, "Is this difficult?"

A wisp of wind-attribute magic drifted out from the Sky Codex and fell into Makarov's short body.

"Hey, old man, wake up, don't sleep!" Ximu shouted.

For an instant.

Makarov suddenly sat up in bed.

He sat up straight.

Chapter 323 I'm Not Interested in Power

Makarov sprang from the bed, standing perfectly straight in a second.

Natsu and Porusika stood by, dumbfounded.

For a moment, he was speechless.

The two men's eyes darted back and forth between Makarov and Simu.

So all you need to do is shout it out?

On the bed, Makarov slowly opened his eyes, gently clenched his fist, and looked at Ximu.

"Thank you," the elderly man said gratefully in a low voice.

His magic was depleted, rendering him unable to move, but his consciousness remained, and he could still hear what was happening and being spoken in the outside world.

"Ximu... how did you do that?" Natsu asked curiously as he approached. Makarov had been revived, and he was overjoyed.

"It's very simple, the one who tied the knot must untie it," Ximu said, shaking his head and speaking in a pretentious manner.

He softened his tone, as if trying to imitate the way some demon spoke and his demeanor.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to lose his composure and deflated in an instant.
