Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 709 Gerald's Confusion (He's Already Alive)

"By the way, what's this about the first president I mentioned earlier?"

After the emotional moment ended, Erza suddenly remembered the first chairman that Jerry had mentioned in his earlier speech.

"It's me! It's me!"

Mavis pushed Natsu aside, who was blocking her way, and then happily raised her hand.

Erza looked at the little girl Mavis, then stiffly turned to look at Makarov, who crossed his arms and nodded firmly.

"This is a long story, but this is indeed our first guild master, the legendary mage Mavis Viviamilio, known as the Fairy Strategist."

"I died for some special reason before, and then your fourth-generation Jerry resurrected me."

Mavis explained.

"They've come back to life!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Jerry.

They always believed that the first generation hadn't died, but was simply sealed away, and that Jerry used magic to break the seal, thus restoring normalcy.

Unexpectedly, the first generation had already died, and Jerry had actually resurrected the deceased first generation.

The resurrection of the dead is a taboo in magic, and it is a spell that no mage has ever accomplished in all these years. The R system is the legendary magic invented by Zeref that can resurrect the dead, but it has never been proven.

It's easy to imagine how impactful Mavis's words were to all the mages present.

Seeing this, Jerry quickly waved his hand:

"The first president was a special case. Her body was intact and her soul was strong enough that she was not actually dead. That's why I was able to restore her using special methods, though it wasn't a complete resurrection."

He did not admit to having the ability to resurrect the dead.

Because Zeref researched resurrection magic, he was cursed by Ankhseram, which shows that the god Ankhseram greatly dislikes such things.

Although he resurrected Mavis without her intervening, if he resurrects too many people who should have died, he will inevitably anger Ankhseram.

Hearing Jerry's explanation, everyone realized that it was due to special circumstances. If Jerry could arbitrarily resurrect the dead, that would be truly terrifying.

Mavis realized she had said something she shouldn't have and immediately changed the subject.

"Your name is Erza, right? Can you tell me who kidnapped you, and why they kidnapped you?"

With Mavis speaking, everyone's attention was once again drawn to Erza.

Everyone came here to save Erza, but now that Erza has flown out on her own, they naturally want to know what happened.

Ailu's eyes dimmed, and she no longer hid her background, telling everyone everything.

She was abandoned as a child and became an orphan. When she was a little older, she and her friends, including Jellal and Hugh, who were also orphans, supported each other and wandered around. At the age of ten, she was captured by a dark mage and made into a slave to build the R system.

At the age of eleven, she and Jellal led all the slaves in a rebellion against the black mage, but were defeated. Jellal was captured and tortured in her place.

When she awakened the powerful magic within her and defeated all the dark mages in one fell swoop, Jellal suddenly changed his personality, easily defeated her, banished her alone from the Tower of Paradise, and told his former friends that she had betrayed them.

Now Jellal has become just like those dark mages of the past, leading his brainwashed followers to build the R-System, intending to resurrect Zeref, restart the world, and become its ruler.

That was all the information she had gathered at the Tower of Paradise.

"Welcome to the Tower of Paradise. I am Jellal, the master of this tower. I never expected everyone to go to such lengths for Erza!"

As Erza recounted her past, Jellal, dressed in a blue robe, emerged from the Tower of Paradise with the Three Crows, his former companions, and all the remaining members of the Dark Mages.

The Tower of Paradise can only be activated by Erza as a sacrifice. If Erza escapes, all efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bring all his men out to try and hold off the enemy.

"Geralt!"

Erza's eyes showed a complex expression when she saw Jellal appear.

She didn't know what kind of torment Gerald had gone through in her place to cause his personality to change so drastically.

"President Makarov, as you can see, this Tower of Paradise is now fully completed. Soon I will be able to use it to revive Zeref."

However, I want to play a game with you now, which I call the Paradise Game.

The game's objective is to see if you can break through our defenses and stop the great dark mage Zeref from being resurrected in the tower.

You won, the crisis is over, we won, Zeref is resurrected, and the world restarts.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, the council has decided to use magical spirit power to destroy the Tower of Paradise.

So you need to hurry, otherwise most of you will die from the crisis caused by the magical spirit power.

Gerald's lips curled into a sneer, and he threatened in a terrifying and sinister tone.

Actually, he had no choice. Even though he believed that the old man Makarov was no match for him, the other side had the advantage in numbers. If he turned around and left, there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, the other side has a mage who is proficient in time and space magic, so it would be difficult for him to stop them if they wanted to take everyone away.

"Magical Spirit Power? You're insane, Jellal! Even you couldn't survive under Magical Spirit Power!"

Erza's face showed anger upon hearing Jellal's threat.

Magical Spirit Power, also known as "Super Time-Space Destruction Magic," is the Magic Council's ultimate weapon for maintaining order in the magical world.

A super-destructive magic that uses a satellite magic array to accurately launch a massive energy projectile, incorporating 27 billion units of conceptual magic power, to any location in the world.

However, apart from Erza, everyone else looked at each other blankly, and no one seemed willing to step forward to fight.

This situation also stunned Gerald on the other side. This seemed different from what he had expected!

Seeing the awkward situation, Jerry stepped forward, coughed, and said:

"This mage, Zeref, the Dark Mage, is not dead. He is currently the emperor of the Western Continent, so even if your Tower of Paradise is activated, it will not work."

"Jereff is still alive? That can't be!"

Jellal frowned, utterly disbelieving. When he was tortured as a child, he clearly heard the voice of the great dark mage Zeref and comprehended the true meaning of darkness.

His mission is to resurrect the great Zeref, restart this filthy world, and gain true freedom.

Now you're telling me he didn't die and became emperor on the other continent?

"Zeref was the magic teacher of our Fairy Tail's first guild master; she can testify to that!"

Seeing that Gerald didn't believe him, Jerry pointed to Mavis.
