Time arrived in October, X696.
"How could this be?!"
"This is absolutely impossible…"
Currently, Precht, who was serving as the Fairy Tail Guild Master in Mavis's absence, took Mavis's body from the young man's arms. He couldn't believe Mavis had died like this.
Precht was absolutely a genius among geniuses. From Mavis's 'remains,' he discovered a trace of magic that even the young man had not noticed.
"Mavis is definitely not dead yet."
"Let me revive her…"
Precht thought. He carried the young girl's remains into the guild's basement and sealed them within a giant magic crystal he had obtained years ago, beginning his research.
Precht did not tell Rita, Yuri, or Warrod about this matter. He was silently manipulating everything in the dark.
It wasn't until a year later that he publicly announced Mavis's death and decided to establish Mavis's cenotaph on Tenrou Island, the sacred ground of the Fairy Tail Guild…
October, X697.
Fairy Tail Guild, second floor, S-Class Mage Hall.
"Precht, what kind of joke are you playing?!"
"How could Mavis possibly die?!"
Yuri grabbed Precht's collar tightly with both hands, roaring furiously.
"Yuri, calm down first."
Warrod stood between Yuri and Precht, speaking with some difficulty.
"Warrod, did you just hear what Precht said?"
"He actually said Mavis died! What a joke…"
Yuri's eyes were bloodshot. If Mavis had died just like that, then what had he been working so hard to cultivate all these years for?!
"Precht, you're not the type to joke around. Mavis has been missing for a year and a half now, so don't keep scaring us. We can't take it…"
Warrod, helpless, looked at Precht and gently persuaded him.
In fact, while Warrod was verbally persuading Precht, he was also persuading himself. He absolutely refused to believe that the innocent and beautiful Mavis, who deserved all the good in the world, had died like that.
"Mavis is indeed dead…"
"But I can revive her!"
Precht first slapped away Yuri's hand gripping his collar, then he artfully embellished everything he knew and told it to the two present: "A year ago, on the day of the Harvest Festival, that afternoon when you all went out to celebrate the festival, the Black Wizard who once taught us magic brought Mavis's remains! He killed Mavis, there's no doubt about it!"
"But Mavis did not die then. Just as the senior said a year ago, Mavis's body was cursed by ankhseram god. She has become an ageless and immortal being and will absolutely not die easily! As long as Mavis has a breath left, I can revive her!"
"Although Mavis has not yet awakened, she is miraculously in a state between life and death, which also allows her to avoid anna's curse's curse!"
"This is not a bad thing for us, but an opportunity! This means that anna's curse's curse is not unsolvable, and what we need to do is find a way to break the curse before Mavis fully awakens."
Precht explained his idea to Yuri and Warrod.
"What do you need us to do?!"
Yuri, Rita, and Warrod paused for a moment after hearing Precht's words, then immediately asked.
"I need knowledge, a lot of knowledge about curses! I will revive Mavis, but breaking the curse will be up to you."
Precht said, handing a list to Yuri, Rita, and Warrod. He spoke softly, "All the books on this list are what I need. Also, I hope Yuri and Rita can learn some lost magic."
"Lost magic?!"
Yuri's expression froze, and confusion flickered in his eyes.
"Yes…"
"Since Ankhseram is a high and mighty god, then I will use magic specifically designed to eliminate gods to deal with them!"
"Legend has it that in ancient times, people created a type of slayer magic specifically to eliminate gods who wreaked havoc on the earth, called 'God Slayer Magic.' This is our hope for breaking ankhseram god's curse."
Precht explained God Slayer Magic, a magic that had been lost for centuries on the Ishgar continent, to Yuri, Rita, and Warrod.
"I understand…" Yuri nodded gently upon hearing this. If it was for Mavis, he was willing to practice this God Slayer Magic, which had been lost on the continent for many years.
"As for the books, I'll leave that to you, Rita…"
Precht then looked at Rita and said in a deep voice.
"I understand! This is all for Fairy Tail, for Master Mavis."
Rita nodded vigorously. She absolutely would not be a burden in the future; she also wanted to practice magic and become a powerful Magician who could help.
