Chapter 78

Even though Mavis was being cute, but ... She was clearly trying to find out more. All these years she did not even go out into the world and just gave herself up to reflections on life. If it hadn't been for that familiar feeling from the Tree, she would never have come out. Even if Aidan tried to call her, she probably wouldn't have heard. But, having entered this world again, she did not at all want to return back to that boring place ...

After asking the girl, Aidan tensed a little. He wasn't sure if it was a wise idea to show her his ability for life magic. Mavis is not a wizard like Makarov, her comprehension and knowledge are many times superior to most modern wizards. Moreover, Aidan felt life currents even from this mental projection, which, it would seem, is impossible. Surely this is not easy, most likely Mavis himself is somehow connected with this - where there was death in the curse of Anxelam, there must have been life.

Noticing Aidan's thoughtfulness, Mavis narrowed her eyes suspiciously and asked:

- What's the matter? Afraid to grow a couple of trees?

In response, he nodded grimly, which again surprised the girl:

- What are you talking about? Does your magic have side effects? Is she dangerous? - Mavis quickly flew up to Aidan and pelted him with a lot of questions:

- Well, show me a little, I'm sure it won't hurt you!

- Eh, - he knew that it was better for him to do at least something. In the end, he is unlikely to be able to get rid of Mavis, and he came to the island just to survive his conversion. If at that moment she was there ... Just thinking about it, Aidan grimaced with displeasure. He acted completely recklessly wanting to meet her! He could not even imagine that in that contact with the Tenrou Tree, she felt a piece of the magic of life. Now Mavis not only guessed that he had some secrets, but also quickly realized that they are very unusual. Moreover, she, as if sensing a catch, decided to make sure of everything and asked him to demonstrate his magic. It would seem that it's okay, but now it's impossible to get rid of Mavis. Most likely now you will have to leave the island and survive the conversion elsewhere, but only ... There is no more than a week left.

"Damn ... And who asked me to climb to this curious girl ..." - at the end of the horse, there was no choice now. Aidan did not really want to leave again and hopes that no one will meet him along the way. It was stupid, at first he wanted to hide everything, but now ...

Since there were no more options, Aidan jerked his hand forward, lightly brushing Mavis's blonde hair. The girl turned in surprise and looked at the place where he was pointing. At the same moment, a golden light flashed on the guy's finger, and then several roots nearby abruptly burst out of the stone surface and overgrown with green petals. Mavis immediately changed in her face and looked in disbelief at the golden light on the finger of the guy who quickly faded away.

- This is ... - the girl frowned, she stood like this for about ten seconds about something, tensely thinking:

"This magic ... It definitely has to do with the magic of life! It is so pure, where did he get it from? Is there a curse in his body? But why didn't I feel it ... "- Mavis looked up and seriously asked:

- Where did you get this magic? You couldn't learn it from a simple book ... You run your life too easily ... So that's why I felt it!

Mavis looked at Aidan in disbelief.

- You said about the side effect ... What is it ?! The magic of life goes hand in hand with death, don't tell me this magic is killing you? How can you rule life? I do not understand!

"You talk so much," Aidan chuckled wryly. "Is it that important? I just use my magic and that's it.

- It is important! - Mavis said worriedly: - You cannot control Life or Death without consequences! You cannot control the magic of laws without full understanding, you are still too young, I do not believe that you are able to contain it! What are your side effects? If there are any, you must stop immediately! All this is just nonsense compared to the curse! If you inadvertently use your magic - it will fall on you!

Aidan smiled slightly, amused by the girl's worried look. Either she was pretending again to find out more, or she was really worried about the stranger, which was strange ... However, in this world, this happens, especially with someone from Fairy Tail.

"Are you talking about Anxelam's curse?"

- Wh-what ?! Y-you ... "Mavis stared at him in amazement." You know that too? Where did it come from?

"It doesn't matter, I can only say that it's not scary to me, and if you want to know about my side effects, you just have to wait.

- Wait?

- Yes, - Aidan nodded in displeasure. - It will start soon.

"You," Mavis continued to frown. "Who are you? Where does the Fairy Tail Wizard get such magic? Who taught you?

- Well, - Aidan smiled and raised his head to heaven: - I don't know myself ...

- That is how it is ...

The guy shrugged his shoulders and looked at Mavis curiously.

- How do you know so much about my magic?

The girl shook her head quickly.

"It's not your magic. Magic capable of bestowing and taking life directly touches a very dangerous area. If you continue to apply it, as I said, most likely you, like me once, will acquire the curse of Contradiction. And you can take our word for it. "With a wry smile, Mavis sighed grimly:

- There is nothing worse ...

"You don't look damned. - Aidan remarked with interest, to which Mavis immediately sighed sadly, turning away:

- It's not that simple ... I'm lucky. The so-called curse was not at all what I was told about. As soon as the vitality left my body, I should have quickly recovered, but everything turned out differently. Now I'm so ...

Mavis smiled bitterly.

- I still cannot die, but my soul has changed.

"You can use magic and create the perfect projection, so why don't you? This life would be no different from ordinary life.

"Not really." Mavis shook his head quickly. "I'm limited. Until recently, I could not even create a projection. It's easiest for me to support myself on this island. It won't be easy to go out into the world, and I can't ...

Aida didn't ask too much, and he didn't want to hint at his knowledge of what had happened to Zeref and questions about infinite magic. So he just translated the topic:

"I didn't really understand what you meant by curse, but since it all came to this ... My magic comes from some kind of curse, as far as I know.

- What?! Mavis exclaimed again in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Aidan just shrugged.

"I don't know for sure, I just touched one Grimoire, and then I received my magic. I got a few spells, a little understanding and a bit of information about the origins of my magic.

Mavis listened intently.

- And this magic ...

- Magic of the Assassin of the Gods of Life and Death.
