It's obvious that Zeref got too confident in himself and decided NOT to place Magic Barriers preventing from ImminentDeathBlocks from occurring. Thanks to that, he monologued as if he was in his own house (which he technically was) and gave Mest all the time he needed to sense Makarov's location and then swoop in to grab him. I will give Mest credit for improving his Teleportation Magic as much as he has, but that's the most credit I'm giving this lame-ass twist the chapter provided. -.-
