@Sane: There's an easy work-around for that. Zeref can have someone cut off his head or give him some other immediately lethal injury before the curse is fully removed so he'll die in the very instant of the dispelling.

Unless Ankhseram revives him, which would go against the very reason for why he cursed Zeref in the first place, he'd be out of this world.
