Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Seemingly understanding Eric's words, the purple serpent, Chuberios, wrapped its tail tightly around him, unwilling to leave.

Eric's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he then knocked the purple snake unconscious and looked at everyone pleadingly once more.

What a tragic couple... cough cough cough.

Lucy cleared her throat. She was actually a little soft-hearted, but she couldn't make the decision herself. She could only tentatively look at Hope, Erza, Jura, and Ichiya, since only they had the right to make the decision.

Hope exchanged a glance with Erza, then looked at Jura and Ichiya.

The four understood each other and nodded slightly.

"We agree to take in Chuberios."

Erza spoke on behalf of everyone, "Since it is an independent entity and has not directly committed evil, it should be given a chance, and Fairy Tail is willing to accept it."

"Thank you... thank you all."

Eric breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply, touched the cold scales of Chuberios one last time, and turned to walk towards the council soldiers with a more composed gait than before.

Lahar saw everything but did not object. He simply gestured for the soldiers to put shackles on Eric as well, then looked at the last man in the guild alliance with a calm but furious expression.

"Infiltrating the council, inciting former councilors to activate 'magical spirit power,' and secretly completing the 'R system'... After committing such a heinous crime, do you still want to continue hiding?!"

"Gerald Fernandez!"

"I am now arresting you on charges of federal sedition! If you resist, you will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as Laharl finished speaking, the magic soldiers in the council's forces immediately raised their weapons and assumed fighting stances. If Gerald dared to make even the slightest unnecessary movement, they would not hesitate to launch an attack.

However, this Gerald wasn't the Gerald they had imagined...

"Wait a minute."

Wendy stood in front of Lahart, "There... there must be some misunderstanding. My brother isn't a bad person."

Lahar frowned. "That's just a facade that man is putting on. He's dangerous, and I absolutely will not let him go unchecked. I absolutely cannot."

Hope looked at the meticulous bespectacled man, then at Mystogan behind him, who was being protected by Natsu and Gray, and suddenly felt like laughing.

Mystogan had been living in anonymity for so many years, just to avoid trouble because of Gerald, but in the end he was still made a scapegoat as a counterpart.

This is just too funny...

Hope stopped Lahar, who was about to give orders, and said, "With someone like you in a high position, the Freshman Council will surely be able to manage the wizarding world well, but you really have made a mistake."

“He is our guild’s Mystogan. Although he looks somewhat like Geralt, they are completely different people.”

Lahar gave him a "I don't believe you" look. Mystogan and Gerald didn't just look alike; their appearances were 100% identical.

Hope hooked his arm around Rahal's shoulder and whispered, "Mystogan's real name is indeed Gerald, but he comes from a parallel world called 'Edras.' Your council has deep resources, so you must have relevant information about that world."

"That's all I have to say. I don't care about the Oración Seis, but if you insist on taking my companions away, don't blame me for losing my temper."

Lahar is not an unreasonable person. Hope has already kept Stegan a secret, so what else can he do?

Of course, I'll go back and check the information carefully before making a decision.

“Jay...Mistgang, I expect you to stay in Magnolia for the next week until I confirm your origins.”

Listening to Lahar's words, Mistgan nodded. He hadn't had a rest in a long time, and he could take this time to spend with Wendy.

Chapter 155 The Girl's Ambition

The operation to defeat the Oración Seis is a complete success.

It's time for us all to part ways.

Before parting, amidst Natsu and Happy's banter about having an affair, everyone was surprised to discover that Ren of Blue Pegasus and Sherry of Snake Scale had actually taken a liking to each other.

After learning that Lucy possessed multiple Golden Celestial Keys, Hibiki taught her a massive spell exclusive to Celestial Spirit Mages—"All-Sky Stars: The History of the Star Chart"—through an "Ancient Scripture".

This is a magic that Hibiki obtained by chance. It is a super magic that can only be mastered by a Celestial Spirit Mage who has a very deep understanding of Celestial Spirit magic.

In the current magical world, only Lucy perfectly fits this criterion.

However, with her current level of magic power, it's still too far off for her to be able to cast this super magic all by herself.

The Christina slowly started moving. One night and the three male escorts stood on the edge of the airship, striking a cool pose. "Man! Everyone, see you next time. I'll miss your fragrance."

Watching the magic airship ascend into the sky, the three members of the Snake Princess Scale also prepared to leave.

Leo, with the air of a senior brother, admonished Gray, "You'd better get rid of your habit of taking off your clothes as soon as possible, or you'll be seen as a pervert and won't be able to find a girlfriend."

Gray looked at Leo, who had unknowingly taken off his shirt, and retorted with an annoyed expression, "You have no right to talk to me like that. Besides, I already have a girlfriend. You would never understand what it feels like to be pursued by a beautiful woman."

"what?!"

Leo was taken aback. "I'm so handsome and I still don't have a girlfriend, so why does someone as ugly as you get one...?"

"Hey! What's ugly about me?!"

While the two apprentices were bickering, Jura said to the rest of Fairy Tail, "Give my regards to Chairman Makarov, and Wendy, and remember to visit our Boa Hancock Scale when you have time."

Watching the three members of Boa Hancock Scale ride away on the giant rock serpent created by Jura's magic, the Fairy Tail crew also prepared to return home.

Hope looked at the map and saw that there was a small town built by the sea to the southeast of the Demon Cat's Abode. This town was actually a shipyard, which made its living by building and selling various ships.

Starting from the seaside town by boat, it only takes half a day at most to reach Hargeon, the unfortunate port city where Natsu and Lucy first met.

Then, we'll transfer to the magic train via Harugeon and return to Magnolia tonight.

Everyone agreed immediately and set off for the seaside town, hiring a large boat and setting off.

"Hahaha!"

"It's so comfortable to be on the boat with the sea breeze blowing."

"Transportation is such a wonderful thing!"

Natsu, who wasn't seasick on his first boat ride, excitedly ran back and forth on the deck.

"Natsu, your healing magic is about to finish maintaining your balance," Wendy reminded him with a smile. But before she could finish speaking, Natsu collapsed, immediately feeling nauseous and gagging.

"Wendy...one more time..."

Wendy shook her head. "The effect of this spell will be greatly reduced if used continuously."

Before boarding the ship, Wendy cast a healing spell on Natsu to stabilize his balance and prevent him from getting seasick, but she didn't expect it to wear off so quickly.

Wendy thinks that Natsu's body is too adaptable, which is why his balance, which could have lasted for an hour, has been shortened to about ten minutes.

Lucy looked happily at the four Celestial Spirit Keys that Sora had given her. In addition to the two golden keys, Gemini and Aries, there was also a Scorpio key.

With three more Gold Celestial Spirits at once, she had already become a Celestial Spirit Mage holding nine Gold Celestial Spirit Keys in less than three months since officially entering the magic world.

Thinking about this, Lucy couldn't help but smile.

Having mastered Celestial Spirit super magic and formed contracts with nine Gold Celestial Spirits and several Silver Celestial Spirits, she is probably the only Celestial Spirit mage in the past few hundred years to have reached this level.

Hehe, I really am a genius!

While happy, Lucy was also a little discouraged.

Her current magical limit is only enough to summon two Celestial companions at the same time, so many Celestial Keys are completely useless in her hands.

What's more, there's also the seemingly endless "History of Star Charts"...

The girl's nascent ambitions were instantly crushed by her own weakness.

Seeing Lucy's sudden emotional reaction, Erza asked with some concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Should we have Wendy take a look at you?"

Lucy quickly waved her hand, "I'm fine, I just feel so weak..."

Seeing the Celestial Key dangling in her hand, Erza immediately understood that Lucy had begun to doubt her own abilities because of her recent great gains.

Other magic users are constantly worried about where to find powerful magical items that match their magic.

In contrast, Lucy has had a smooth journey since joining the guild.

She possessed nine of the twelve unique golden keys in existence, which was more than she could use.

However, the increasing number of powerful Protoss keys made Lucy feel overwhelmed, and she felt she would be a burden to her Protoss companions, which was indeed the case...

Lucy is only 17 years old. Her magic is far from reaching its peak. She has a bright future ahead of her and no need for worries at all.

Just as Erza was about to comfort her, Lucy suddenly had a bright idea. "Erza, do you think there's a way to quickly increase magic power without any side effects?"

The boost to magic power has absolutely no side effects...

You really dare to ask that...

Erza immediately flicked Lucy on the forehead, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. But I do know a way to increase your magic power, though it's a little bit painful."

Lucy's eyes immediately lit up. She grabbed Erza's arm and winked at her expectantly, "It's just a little pain. Tell me what to do."

"you sure?"

Seeing Lucy nod vigorously, Erza gave a cryptic smile, informed Gray who was at the helm, and then led Lucy to the aft deck.

At this moment, on the latter half of the deck, Hope was consulting something through the 'Ancient Scripture,' while Mystergan was inscribing a complex magic circle on the deck according to the contents of the 'Ancient Scripture's' magic screen.

Looking at the purple serpent, Chuberios, which was being forcibly "slept" by Mystogan within the magic circle, Lucy was so curious that she forgot what she had come for.

What are you doing?

Hope peeked out from behind the screen of the "Ancient Text" and saw Erza looking at him with a puzzled expression. He explained, "When I was idly looking up the magical knowledge taught by Robin Luce, I discovered an evil curse spell, and this snake is very likely the victim of that curse."

At this point, Hope's expression turned serious, making Erza and Lucy tense up as well.

Hope took a deep breath and said slowly, "Chuberios is very likely... to be a human."

Chapter 156 A Little Bit of Pain

Hope's words stunned Lucy.

She touched her ears, thinking she had misheard. Chuberios was a living, breathing snake, how could it be a human?

Erza didn't think so. She had seen many heartless dark mages who had no moral bottom line as human beings. Otherwise, how could they have fallen into the descent of dark mages?

"Hope, do you mean someone used magic to turn a human into a snake?"

“That’s right.” Hope turned to look at the large purple snake in the magic circle, a hint of seriousness in her eyes. “According to the information I’ve found, that curse can only be cast on children…”

Upon hearing this, Erza and Lucy's expressions immediately changed.
