Its not like Zeref should only appear the end of the story. Its great if the big main villains of a Manga shows up from time to time before the end so we can learn more about them and it will make us look forward to the final battle against them even more. And Zeref probablöy only want to talk with Natsu about important stuff right now and is not gonna fight him yet.
