"Alright, that's about it. So, Erza, what are your thoughts? Do you want to go see her?"

'

After explaining everything, Moen looked at Erza and handed the decision over to the girl.

"Go...go ahead..."

Even if Erza is at a loss when faced with Moen's question, she will definitely choose to go.

After all, no matter what, she was still her mother... a mother who had endured so much pain... and such a legendary figure at that.

"Then there's no problem, let's go."

Having received accurate answers from the two people, Moen didn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand and led them directly to the eastern suburban forest of "Magnolia".

Eileen Belserion and August are still here, and no matter how much time they are given, they will not be able to break Moen's "Crystal Cage".

August and Erin Belserion were naturally trying to escape, as they still doubted Moen's words. It wasn't that they were stubborn, but their minds had been formed over so many years and were not so easy to change.

Augustus didn't believe Zeref was dead, Erin Belserion didn't believe "Black Dragon" was dead, and of course, she didn't quite believe Zeref was dead either.

But reality is cruel. The two of them worked hard for a long time, but they couldn't break the "crystal cage" at all. They tried all sorts of methods but couldn't budge it even a little bit.

At this point, things began to change, because the two of them believed that even Zeref and Acnologia, the "Black Dragon," could not have done this much, nor could they have treated them as mere playthings.

Even if the two of them have absolutely no chance of defeating Zeref and "Black Dragon" Acnologia, surely they shouldn't be able to last even one round? This Moen Doraeus is simply too strong!

"He's back!"

August and Erin Belserion tensed up upon seeing Moen return, and their expressions changed upon seeing the two figures appear beside Moen.

For Erin Belserion, Erza is actually easy to recognize because the two have many similarities in their faces and both have red hair. Anyone with eyes can see that the two are related.

As for August, the difference between him and Mavis is quite significant. August did resemble Mavis a lot when they were young, but now he's an old man in his eighties...

If you look closely, you can certainly see the similarities, but to say that you can tell at a glance that the two are mother and son is just nonsense. The only one you can think of is that they are grandfather and grandson.

"This is Erin Belserion, and this is Auguste."

Moen introduced the two people in the "Crystal Cage" to Erza and Mavis.

Of course, Erza and Mavis could tell without him saying it: one was looking for her mother, and the other was her mother looking for her son. They definitely wouldn't mistake the genders.

"It's...it's actually true..."

Looking at Mavis, August was extremely agitated. His usual composure and confidence seemed to have completely vanished. Standing in front of Mavis, he felt a sense of inferiority and an urge to burrow into the ground and hide.

'

Looking at Augustus, Mavis's expression was also complicated.

She was, of course, mentally prepared. Moen had also told her in advance that her son was an old man in his eighties, about the same age as Makarov.

So when Mavis saw Augustus like this, she wasn't disappointed; she just felt heartbroken and realized she had let Augustus down, that she, as his mother, had failed in her responsibilities.

Compared to Zeref, who was her father, she was the one who was truly missing in August's life. At least Zeref raised August and nurtured him into such a powerful mage.

Even without explicitly revealing the father-son relationship, Jelf definitely had the "real" role of a father to August.

This is also why Jelf didn't have much regret about August; the inability to pour out his emotions was the reason for the "curse."

This is something that even if Zeref knew he was August's father, it wouldn't matter. Apart from not giving August fatherly love, he had given him almost everything else.

"Oscar...I'm so sorry..."

Mavis lowered her head and sobbed softly. She felt she had let down so many people—Yuri, Rita, and August. Despite being a mother, she hadn't taken care of the child even for a single day.

Although Mavis is in her younger form, she has existed as a soul in the tomb on "Tenrou Island" for many years. Therefore, she is not necessarily younger than August, and she is not afraid to acknowledge her son who is over eighty years old.

Normally, she would treat Makarov as a junior. As for the age of this body, although it was her younger self, it had actually existed in this world for over a hundred years, so there was no need to worry that it was still very old.

""

Looking at Mebius, Augustus was moved.

Although this "Magic King's" "divine ears" could not hear Moen's thoughts, they could hear the thoughts of everyone else present.

And the unspoken words of Mavis, standing opposite him, head bowed, sobbing and apologizing, told Auguste with crystal clarity that he had finally obtained what he had always longed for but never received—something he thought he would never get in his life.

Love.

It wasn't the love from his father, but the love from the mother who had long since died in his heart.

It's not that Augustus had long been disappointed in Mavis; he genuinely believed Mavis was dead before, so naturally he wouldn't expect "Mom to love me again." Wouldn't that be asking the impossible?

"No, how could it be your fault? This is not what we wanted to see..."

'

August spoke, trying to comfort his heartbroken "old mother." He could feel Mavis's pain, which was not what he wanted to see, and he didn't want his mother to cry for him.

"So... is Father... really dead?"

What was happening before his eyes forced August to accept a fact that he had never imagined would happen.

"Jeref... made his own choice, and this is the result he wanted. He was too tired, too exhausted. He needed rest, and he wanted... relief."

Mavis paused for a moment, then answered. She roughly understood that August definitely didn't believe Zeref was dead. After all, Zeref was under the "curse of immortality."

Upon seeing Mavis, seeing that she, who had died because of the "Curse of Ankhseram," had been resurrected by Moen, and seeing that she was no longer affected by the "Curse of Ankhseram," August, with his wisdom, naturally would no longer deceive himself.

"Liberation?"

Upon hearing this word, August paused for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"Yes, he desperately needs to be free."

August understood that it was the choice Jelf would make; his father was indeed incredibly tired and desperately needed relief.

"Buzz!"

Moen released the restrictions on "Magic King" August, freeing him from the "Crystal Cage." Although "Magic King" August could not hear Moen's thoughts, Moen could see through everything about him, so naturally he would no longer restrain him.

August has now completely accepted reality; he will no longer resist or engage in any extreme behavior.

"You and your son should go aside and meet alone."

97

"Buzz!"

With a wave of his hand, Moen sent Mavis and Augustus vanishing, teleporting them to the other side. With so many people around, the mother and son were too embarrassed to say anything.

Moen was actually quite relieved about the mother and son, because both Mavis and August were normal people, at least mentally sound, and both had good personalities, so they definitely wouldn't cause any conflicts when they were together.

But the other mother and daughter in front of us are not so easy to deal with.

The problem isn't with Erza, but with Erin Belserion.

As mentioned before, this "Mother of Dragon Slayers" has mental problems and is currently in a phase of drastic personality change, completely different from before.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Irene Belserion has some mental issues. She's suppressing her emotions so intensely that she doesn't dare to look at Erza.

"Mom...I know everything..."

'

Erza looked at Erin Belserion with heartache.

The situation is completely reversed between this couple and the other couple.

That's Mavis, the mother, feeling sorry for her son August, while Erza, the daughter, feels sorry for her mother Irene Belle Selion.

"You've worked so hard all these years..."

Erza continued, "The Fairy Queen herself is kind, responsible, and empathetic. She understands Erin Belserion so well and loves the legendary mother of this story."

If Erza were in Erin Belserion's situation when she was young, she would definitely make the exact same choice.

Even if it costs her everything, she will protect her country and her people. Just like now, Erza can also abandon everything to protect Fairy Tail. These two kinds of feelings are the same.

, "

Erin Belserion trembled, and despite her best efforts to control herself, she was still inevitably touched by Erza's words.

Why suppress your feelings?

Moen chimed in from the side, referring naturally to Erin Belserion. Although this "Mother of Dragon Slayers" appeared cold on the surface, her feelings for Erza were genuine.

Back then, Irene Belserion's decision to abandon Erza could be considered the most correct one she made before her mind completely collapsed. At that time, Irene Belserion had gone mad to the point of wanting to possess her daughter's body and become human again.

After realizing this, Irene Bercelion decisively abandoned the child. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and no matter how terrible Irene Bercelion's obsession with having a human being was, she would not allow herself to harm the child she had given birth to.

"Sigh, actually I can turn you back into a human."

Moen sighed. Faced with the "Mother of Dragon Slayers" who was so mentally repressed that she didn't say a word to Erza, he chose to strike at her sore spot.

"What?!"

Erin Belserion could no longer sit still; for all these years, she had been dreaming of becoming human again!

It must be said that Erin Belserion is a true "human supremacist," and even becoming a dragon cannot change her mind in the slightest.

Yes, for Erin Belserion, it is precisely because she has become a dragon that she is so extreme. If she were any other animal, she probably wouldn't be the way she is now.

"Literally, it means turning you back from a dragon into a human."

Moen continued, saying that with his current abilities, he really could do it, because he could use the power of the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth to directly control a person's body and change it into whatever appearance he wanted.

As for controlling a dragon's body and turning her back into a human, it is indeed challenging, but it is also something that can be done. As long as he has never done it before, but really does it, Moen doesn't think it will be difficult. He can adjust quickly.

Irene Belserion's expression became agitated. Her current state was merely a magical disguise; she wasn't truly in human form. Her true form remained that of a dragon.

""

Erza listened silently. What Moen had said earlier made her understand her mother's obsession. She knew that the inability to turn back into a human had driven her mother to this point.

Most people might not understand Erin Belserion's thoughts, but Erza could. The hero who had led humanity in fighting against dragons had ultimately become a dragon herself and was persecuted by humans. This was a fatal blow to Erin Belserion.

"Please... help me..."

"7

Irene Belserion's attitude softened immediately, because she realized that what Moen said was definitely true. She couldn't read minds, but the "Magic King's" reaction had already explained everything: Zeref... was really dead.

Zeref died, and he chose death without any regrets. What does this mean? It means that his plan to deal with the "Black Dragon" no longer needs to be implemented.

"Is the Black Dragon... really dead?"

Eileen Belserion looked up and checked with Moen one last time.

"That's right, I've already taken care of him."

Moen nodded, giving an affirmative answer, and this time, Erin Belserion did not question it further.

Zeref saved Erin Belserion and used the "human transformation" magic to heal her to some extent, which is why she has been serving Zeref all this time. If Moen can really turn her back into a human completely, she will be extremely grateful to Moen.
