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

"What is your magic?" He made no attempt to hide his interest.

The woman's beautiful appearance did not attract his attention in the slightest.

"You're really not being polite." After confirming that the other person was a fellow member of the same guild, she smiled.

It's quite rare for someone to ask what kind of mage they are right off the bat.

"What are they doing?" Erza gazed at the restless crowd in the distance.

"Go get revenge. The Spectre attacked the guild and kidnapped a member," Ximu said nonchalantly.

Lucy's face flashed through his mind.

“He’s not an annoying guy,” he added.

It must be said that Lucy is indeed a girl with high emotional intelligence and is extremely good at getting along with people.

That's why Ximu had such a deep impression of this human.

"What!?" Erza's voice suddenly rose.

It was obvious that the air around her suddenly became heavier.

Erza turned and left, heading in the same direction as the other guild members, as if she had made up her mind.

"He seems pretty powerful. What kind of magic does this guy use?" Ximu asked Zhou Lan.

In his eyes, his elder brother was omniscient.

He seemed to know everything, down to the level of a specific guild or even an individual.

If you have any doubts, just ask your older brother; his knowledge can solve most problems.

Neither Zhou Lan nor west Mu felt there was anything wrong with this dependence.

“Erza Scarlett, if I remember correctly, she specializes in disguise magic.” Zhou Lan looked at the red-haired figure’s back.

"Changing magic?" Ximu muttered.

"By changing into different outfits to arm themselves, they can gain different levels of power," Zhou Lan explained.

“Interesting.” Ximu nodded with interest and couldn’t help but exclaim, “The magic in this world is really bizarre. There are even guys who can become stronger just by changing their clothes.”

"Compared to our own world, this world seems to be more interesting in terms of the development of magic."

"Looks like there's another name on my magic book that's about to be added," Ximu said excitedly.

"Not only that, I believe you will gain a lot this time, my brother." Zhou Lan reminded him, "Apart from the guild leader Joseph himself, the four elements under the command of the Ghost Dominators are their strongest fighting force."

"Earth, wind, water, fire—why not pack them all up?" Zhou Lan laughed. Despite the urgency of the situation, these two devils remained relaxed and chatty.

the other side.

News of Fairy Tail's all-out operation also reached the ears of the Phantom Lord guild.

This was accompanied by some less pleasant news.

Iron Dragon Gajeel has been captured.

"That bastard, could it be that he ran into Makarov?" Inside the Ghost Dominator's guild headquarters, Guild Master Joseph frowned and scolded, "Besides Makarov, who else could capture that guy?"

"That old bastard actually dared to bypass the Magic Council and attack us. Since that's the case..."

Joseph looked at the crowd waiting at his feet and ordered, "Sol, Aria, Juvia, and Rabbit Maru, go and intercept them."

Below, four mages of different appearances bowed slightly, composed and unhurried.

Earth, wind, water, and fire all converge in this place.

“As for Makarov, I’ll leave him to myself.” Joseph rose from his seat as chairman, a smile on his face.

The four elements received the order and headed out of the guild headquarters.

In the vast guild, every action, down to the smallest detail, was observed by an elegant elder high in the sky.

Zhou Lan could see everything down to where they went and how many steps they took.

He said to Ximu, who was flapping his wings beside him, "They're here."

The Celestial Codex trembled slightly, seemingly reflecting Ximu's state of mind.

"So, which one should we start with?"

Chapter 315 I Choose to Run Away!

The Phantom Lord has dispatched the four strongest elemental warriors to stop Fairy Tail.

As the one who initiated the provocation, President Joseph seemed fearless.

He got up from his seat and walked toward the small dark room in the corner.

To be honest, for two guilds that are almost equally famous, it would not be a wise move to provoke them rashly.

Although there was some personal grudge between Joseph and Makarov involved, what is the most important thing to maintain a guild in the end?

There is only one answer.

That's money.

Any process of commissioning and receiving payment, and even maintaining the morale of the guild members, requires more money to win them over and sustain them.

And that's the reason why Lucy was kidnapped.

Someone behind the scenes offered Joseph a condition he couldn't refuse.

This is an S-rank commission, with rewards so generous that the entire guild can benefit from it.

Joseph opened the door to the dark room, and Lucy immediately saw a light shining in.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lucy Heartfilia. I wonder if you are getting along well with me?"

Joseph bowed slightly, surprisingly not bringing the arrogance and authority he displayed in front of his guild members to this place.

Lucy shook her head, somewhat bewildered.

Yesterday, on my way back to my apartment from the guild, everything suddenly went black, and when I came to, I was in this godforsaken place.

Her mind raced.

“Lucy Heartfilia, you know my name…” Lucy was suddenly startled, “You were sent by Father!”

“That’s right.” Joseph nodded with admiration. “Young lady of the Heartfilia Consortium, you would never understand just how generous the reward for this commission is!”

Joseph chuckled, looking particularly sleazy in his dark purple magic robe.

"Of course, I'll also take this opportunity to vent my dissatisfaction with that old man Makarov. As for you, Miss Lucy, you can stay here and wait for your father to send someone to pick you up and take you home!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Zhou Lan prepared to order Ximu to use Blitzkrieg on the four elements.

"Which one are you planning to deal with first? My brother..." Zhou Lan stood in the sky, glanced around, and felt somewhat helpless.

Does this guy have decision-making difficulties?

All I could see was Ximu counting on his fingers while muttering something to himself, seemingly trying to choose his first opponent in this way.

"Haha! I've decided on you!" Ximu suddenly exclaimed with delight.

Fun fact: When the devil feels pleasure.

This means that some people won't be having such a good time.

The mobilization and momentum of Fairy Tail were simply too great.

Ultimately, only a few archmages are truly influential and on the front lines.

Natsu, Gray, Mirajane, Elfman... and Erza, who just returned.

Unfortunately, Mirajane and the rest of the group had to stay at the guild headquarters to guard their home, lest the Spectre Lord go berserk again.

All of this was observed by the earth elemental Thor.

This was a man wearing a monocle who looked like some kind of capitalist lackey.

After leaving the Phantom Lord's stronghold, he seemed to be secretly plotting something.

Soon, a whooshing sound came from the sky above his head.

Two figures suddenly appeared in front of him from a great distance, startling him.

Zhou Lan led west Mu straight to the location of the earth elemental Thor.

After landing, Ximu looked somewhat bewildered and silently folded his wings.

He had originally planned to fly over with his brother Zhou Lan.

But Zhou Lan waved her hand to stop him, saying that it was no need.

Then, in the next instant, he appeared right there.

Facing the man before me, who exudes an aura of magic, he must be the target.

A hint of melancholy was hidden in Ximu's expression.

He reached behind him, silently touched his wings, then completely folded them and disappeared.

To be honest, after coming out of hell, he relied quite a bit on his remaining ability to fly.

But everything is subject to comparison.

Just now, Zhou Lan used gravity to support him, and in the blink of an eye, they almost teleported to their destination. Even with Xi Mu's own observation, he couldn't see exactly how Zhou Lan did it.

He pounded his head.

Could it be that he really spent too long in hell, and his memory has become somewhat blurred?

Traveling to other worlds is one thing, but he doesn't remember his brother having this skill.

In my memory, it shouldn't be about using lunar magic to float and fly in the air...

Ximu sighed, soothed his wings, and then glared fiercely at the earth elemental Thor.

“Stranger, the demon before you needs your help.” He raised his chin and said earnestly.

"Help?" Thor was a little confused.

“I don’t think I can help…” He adjusted his monocle and carefully examined the two guys who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

One tall, one short; one old, one young.

The tall, thin middle-aged man had no trace of magic about him; he appeared calm and composed.

Thor glanced at the younger one again.

His entire body was brimming with magical energy, so much so that it was overflowing.

Especially the magic book floating beside him, it was simply too dazzling.

What a strange combination.

"Unfortunately, this is not your choice." Zhou Lan shook her head.

“That’s right,” Ximu agreed.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind; once the seed of curiosity was planted in his heart, it could never be removed.

He secretly glanced at Zhou Lan beside him and thought to himself.

Just how strong is my older brother now?

Just how powerful has he become?

Once a thought is planted, it's impossible to shake it off.

So, Ximu bluntly addressed Thor, saying, "It's simple. We're here to deal with you, and now you have two choices..."

“Choose one of me or my brother to be your opponent.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ximu pointed to the Sky Codex, and a vast amount of magical power emanated from it, shaking Thor's heart.

"Damn it, am I seeing a ghost?" Thor was confused and looked somewhat helpless.

His gaze swept back and forth between Zhou Lan and west Mu.

One appears reserved and profound, while the other seems young and impetuous, yet possesses an astonishingly powerful magical aura.
