Sacrifice one hundred thousand lives?
Then resurrect Zeref?
So this Necromancer turns out to be a fanatical follower of Zeref...
"Seriously, is it impossible to avoid getting involved with that guy in the end?"
Hearing Zeref's name, Weston felt an instinctive wave of irritability rise in his heart.
Due to his intervention, the current Fairy Tail did not have the slightest connection to Zeref.
Mavis would not be cursed by Ankhseram for using "Law," nor would she be turned into "Lumen Histoire" by Precht, let alone become a tool for Zeref's future "evolution."
In a future without Zeref, everything seemed so beautiful.
He hadn't expected that, in the end, he still couldn't ignore the existence of this big boss.
"It really makes me furious!"
The more Weston thought about it, the angrier he became. His gaze pierced through the dark green poison barrier and landed on the Necromancer.
The Necromancer was slowly retreating under the cover of the poison barrier, clearly knowing he was no match for Weston and intending to escape.
"Want to run?"
"Do you think you can escape?!"
Since he couldn't find Zeref right now, and even if he did, he likely couldn't beat him, he would naturally vent all his bad mood on this Necromancer.
At this thought, Weston's eyes grew cold. He made a stroke in the air with his finger, condensing it into a "Wind" character.
The next second.
The magic circle opened, a great wind roared, and in the blink of an eye, the poison barrier was blown completely clean.
"What's going on?!"
Hearing the movement behind him, the fleeing Necromancer was first stunned. When he realized what had happened, his face changed drastically, and he was nearly scared to death.
"Not good!!"
While the piteous cries over here had not yet ceased, Weston on the other side had already made his move.
He slammed his foot onto the ground, his body leaping out like a hunting leopard, leaving not even an afterimage behind.
In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared behind the Necromancer.
On his high-raised fist, a golden magical radiance was currently radiating.
"Fairy's Crushing Fist!!!"
Weston swung his fist, smashing the Necromancer heavily into the ground.
Boom—!!!
The powerful force caused the ground to crack severely, and everything within a hundred-meter radius collapsed and subsided, forming a giant pit dozens of meters deep.
It was truly an earth-shaking, world-shattering strike!
After a long while, the dust settled.
Warrod stepped forward, waving away the dust with his hand.
"Is he finished?"
"Yeah, wait for me a moment."
Weston kicked the unconscious Necromancer. After confirming he had no power to resist, he then knelt down and pressed one hand against the man's forehead.
"Super Archive: Information Retrieval!"
Weston, of course, didn't have any strange hobbies, he simply wanted to find a way to lift the plague from the other person's memories.
This "Information Retrieval" move appeared on the surface to be a reversal of the Super Archive magic "Information Implantation," but in reality, the principles of the two were worlds apart—
"Information Implantation" is the compression of magical information to be sent directly into someone else's brain, while "Information Retrieval" is essentially a type of "Memory Magic."
Soon, the retrieval yielded a result.
"Found it!"
Weston opened both eyes and stood up to look at Warrod: "Just by using 'Life Grass,' 'Marigold,' and 'Earth-Eating Insects,' we can neutralize the poison this guy dumped upstream."
Warrod was overjoyed to hear this: "That's fantastic! Let's hurry back and have Doctor Grisha make the medicine!"
"Listen to me finish first!"
Weston shook his head, stopping Warrod's movement. "What I just said is the prescription for neutralizing the poison."
"But have you forgotten? The residents of the downstream towns and villages aren't poisoned; they are infected with a plague. Using this method might not be effective!"
"Huh? There's a difference? Wasn't this plague caused by this guy's poisoning?"
Warrod blinked, expressing his lack of understanding.
Weston explained: "It's true this guy poisoned the water, but the toxins were diluted a great deal as they traveled down the river. This is also the reason the residents' final symptoms are a plague infection rather than poisoning."
"Most likely, the residual toxins damaged a certain part of the human immune system, which then allowed the germs to infect everyone."
Warrod didn't understand medical knowledge and only half-understood the principles Weston analyzed, but he believed in Weston's judgment: "Then what should we do now?"
"Gather 'Life Grass,' 'Marigold,' and 'Earth-Eating Insects' nearby. After making the antidote, dump it into the upper reaches of the river to neutralize the toxins in the water."
"Once the poison is gone, the ecosystem along the riverbank will slowly recover on its own, and the situation in the downstream towns and villages will not worsen further."
"As for the plague issues, I believe the doctors in each town and village will have a way."
Warrod nodded vigorously: "Understood, then let's get moving now!"
The river source had been poisoned by the Necromancer for a long time and had already severely affected the nearby ecosystem. Now, wanting to completely eradicate the toxins in the water was not something one or two tubes of antidote could achieve.
Fortunately, Weston and Warrod were both young, strong, and energetic young men. While gathering herbs and making antidotes was arduous and troublesome, it was not beyond them.
The two kept busy until the evening of the second day, finally producing enough antidote to fill several large buckets.
Subsequently, the two poured these antidotes into the river source, letting them float downstream. They then took another portion to sprinkle at various locations along the banks. Watching the poisonous gas dissipate and the nearby ecosystem return to its original state, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the problem at the river source was resolved, the Council's detention squad also arrived.
Weston finished explaining the entire process of the plague to the Council members, handed over the half-dead Necromancer for them to take back to the Council for custody, and only then felt at ease returning to Magnolia with Warrod.
Days later, thanks to the "poisoned river water" they brought back, Doctor Grisha finally developed a specific medicine for the disease, bringing a somewhat gratifying end to this plague.
...
In the guild, the wizards who had regained their vitality surrounded Weston and Warrod, holding a jubilant banquet.
"To the rebirth of Magnolia and 'Fairy Tail,' cheers!!"
"Ohhhhh!!!"
After raising their glasses, everyone began to express their feelings.
"The matter is finally completely resolved."
"Those few days, I really worried I wouldn't make it. Fortunately, Doctor Grisha developed the specific medicine in time and saved my life. Thinking about it now, I'm really terrified..."
"Hey, have you heard? Because Doctor Grisha resolved this plague incident, he's not only a finalist for 'Fiore Kingdom's Number One Doctor,' but he also got a girlfriend and is planning to get married in another half a year."
"Really? Tell me the details..."
