Chapter 49: The Return of Zeref

Issei’s heart pounded as he emerged from the temple, but his thoughts were interrupted by a familiar presence. It was Zeref. The dark wizard, once an enemy, now stood before him with a smirk on his face.

"Well, well," Zeref said, crossing his arms. "It looks like the Oppai Dragon has become a true force to be reckoned with."

"What do you want, Zeref?" Issei asked, not in the mood for games. He was tired of playing, tired of hiding behind layers of diplomacy and secrets.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Zeref chuckled. "I’m here to offer you a warning. The dark forces I spoke of before? They’ve awakened. And they won’t stop until they’ve consumed everything in their path."

Issei gritted his teeth. "What are we up against?"

"The Void Gods." Zeref’s voice dropped to a whisper, as though saying their name alone could summon their wrath. "Ancient beings, older than time, they were sealed away millennia ago. But now, their chains are breaking. And they’re coming for you."

Issei’s blood ran cold. "Then we’ll fight them."

"You don’t understand," Zeref said, his eyes narrowing. "The Void Gods are not just enemies. They’re apocalyptic forces that feed on the very essence of reality. No amount of power, even the Infinite Oppai, will be enough to stop them if you don’t unlock the true nature of your abilities."

Issei swallowed hard. "How do I do that?"

Zeref smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief. "You’ll find the answer soon enough. But remember, I’m not here to help. I’m just giving you a warning. The world is about to change, Issei."

With that, Zeref vanished into the shadows, leaving only the weight of his words lingering in the air.
