Chapter 2882 Betting on how much the 'Jealous Witch' loves me!

"The reason you feel excruciating pain when using the 'invisible hand' is because..."

"The root cause is that the 'Sloth Witch Factor' only sees you as an 'unsuitable vessel'."

"So you need to establish an 'equal footing' or a 'cooperative relationship' with it."

"but!"

Jelf abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.

There are two problems here.

"First, there is the price that black magic must pay."

"The price is that you need to frequently sacrifice 'sinful souls' to it in order to increase the 'sloth witch factor' in your soul."

"It's fine at first, but as it increases and even exceeds your limit, it will affect your will."

"For example, becoming as crazy as Petitchius," Jelf said meaningfully.

"At that time, we will need to find ways to reduce or balance the costs."

"Sacrificing sinful souls leads to madness."

Natsuki Subaru swallowed hard and immediately tensed up.

Fortunately, there was the guidance of Aizen's previous ideas.

To better protect and help Emilia and those around her.

I know I'm destined to have blood on my hands from now on, and I can no longer be an innocent high school student.

And it was just killing some thugs.

"no problem!"

"As long as it makes me stronger, I'll give you as many scumbag souls as you want!"

"It's good that you're aware of this," Jeff said, nodding.

"The second problem is that these 'witch factors' obviously have an owner."

"If I force him to sign a dark magic contract, it's very likely that I'll attract his attention in the process."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Aizen chimed in with a smile, "There's no need to worry about that. We've already confirmed that those witches won't affect Subaru, who's in the Star Council."

Natsuki Subaru nodded repeatedly, excitedly opening his arms: "Yes, yes!"

“When I’m outside, whenever I try to talk to someone about ‘Return by Death,’ my heart feels like it’s being squeezed and I’m in excruciating pain!”

"If you give up, you'll return to normal, but if you insist on speaking, your heart will be crushed!"

After listening, Jelf understood, and then suddenly realized that the 'contradictory curse' on him might also be...

Despite his emotional turmoil, he turned his attention back to Subaru Natsuki.

"Signing a dark magic contract will allow you to use 'Invisible Divine Will' normally, but it won't make it any more powerful."

"It is known that two types of 'witch factors' exist within your body."

Zeref, facing the increasingly surprised Natsuki Subaru, calmly and gently recounted his story.

"One is 'sloth,' and the other is 'jealousy.'"

"envy."

In Natsuki Subaru's mind, a being appeared in the darkness, constantly whispering "I love you" to him and granting him the ability of "Return by Death".

The legendary 'Witch of Jealousy' Satella.

"The reason your current 'invisible hand' is weak, as I said before, is because it is not true power."

"It is merely an incomplete copy of the small amount of inertia factor that remained in your body after Petruccius' death, which was passively activated."

"Then what should we do?" Natsuki Subaru asked anxiously.

“My idea is,” Jelf said with a slight smile, “that since the ‘sloth factor’ is insufficient, let the even larger ‘jealousy factor’ resonate with it.”

“I will teach you a dark magic called ‘Double Curse Weaving’.”

"It allows you to create a high-frequency 'resonance' with each other when you use the 'invisible hand' in the future."

"In this state of resonance, the 'Witch of Envy Factor,' which is much larger but is only used during 'Return from Death,' becomes the 'fuel' that drives the 'Invisible Hand.'"

"The cost is that using it too frequently and consuming too much 'fuel' may cause your 'Return by Death' to fail."

"And right now you have no idea how much 'fuel' is left."

After hearing Zeref's words, Subaru Natsuki fell into deep thought, thinking to himself, "So, one day I might really die."

Then the former said, "However, you mentioned before that the 'Jealous Witch' loves you very much, so she might replenish your 'Witch Factor'."

"Of course, this is just speculation, so it is also a risk."

Subaru Natsuki fell silent.

Isn't this just gambling on how much the 'witch of jealousy' loves him?

If you win the bet, you can take advantage of her.

That's really despicable.

Jelf's long speech.

The sheer volume of information, the profoundness of the logic, and the absurdity of the theory.

It was like a storm of knowledge sweeping across the entire venue.

Subaru Natsuki was sweating profusely from listening, feeling like his brain's CPU was smoking.

Perona had long since given up thinking and was now hunched over the table, pondering what to say next.

Joseph, however, showed a rare thoughtful expression.

But then, feeling it had little to do with him, he casually yawned.

Only Aizen was filled with joy.

Although he appeared to be just sitting there quietly.

On the surface, he still maintained a gentle and refined demeanor.

But the deep brown eyes hidden behind the reflective lenses are surprisingly bright.

His mind was racing, processing Zeref's theories of magic.

Most importantly, it has the feeling of walking alone in endless darkness.

Suddenly, he encountered another companion carrying a torch, with whom he could discuss the truth.

Moreover, the other party was the ruler of the empire.

Then there will be so many things we can talk about after that.

How can I keep Aizen from being happy?

Aizen's gaze toward Zeref had shifted from initial scrutiny to acceptance and appreciation.

"Zeref Dragneel," Aizen murmured the name in his heart.

the other side.

Although Natsuki Subaru was feeling dizzy from listening, he still managed to grasp the core conclusion.

Jelf has a way to deal with the side effects of the 'Invisible Divine Will'.

It can also make it even more powerful.

"I understand!"

"Although it sounds complicated, it means just do as you say."

"That way, the 'invisible divine will' can become a power that truly belongs to me and can even grow, right?"

Jelf nodded first, then shook his head: "That's right, but we'll only know the specific results after implementation. What I just said was just the idea and plan."

Natsuki Subaru immediately bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you so much!"

He immediately looked up impatiently: "Then when can we start?"

"What materials are needed for the 'Dark Magic Contract' and 'Double Curse Weaving Technique' you mentioned?"

Seeing Subaru's impatient look, Zeref shook his head gently again.

"No preparation is needed; we can start right now."

"Right now?!"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened in disbelief, which quickly turned into surprise.

I realized I had underestimated the new legislator's abilities.

"As long as this place allows me to use magic normally, that's fine."

After saying that, Jelf pointed to the Aries chair:

"Sit back in your seat, close your eyes, clear your mind, and leave the rest to me."
