Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Sera...you must live...

Sera abruptly stopped, a flicker of terror appearing in her golden, gleaming demonic eyes. "Lord Kuanghua...you could it be...?"

Chapter 231 Emotions

The previously surging magical power around Sera began to fluctuate erratically. She could feel that something had disappeared forever.

That was the invisible bond she and Kuanghua had woven together over the long years, nearly four hundred years of companionship, from their initial ignorance at the beginning of their creation, to their skillful use of their respective spells, and then to standing side by side in the high positions of the Nine Ghosts Gate.

When one side dies completely, the other side will feel an emptiness as if their soul is being torn apart.

"No...it can't be..."

Sera staggered backward, the tattered hem of her kimono dragging messily across the ground. She clutched her chest, where a sharp, piercing pain shot through her. "Lady Kyouka is so strong, and she has the Hell Core, how could she possibly die..."

Mirajane keenly sensed the change in her opponent's condition.

Facing enemies invading the guild's sacred ground, she had no regard for martial ethics. The six wings of the fallen angel behind her suddenly spread open, and dark magic condensed into countless sharp feathers.

"Strike Blackfeather!"

The jet-black feathered arrows rained down like a storm, whistling sharply as they sliced ​​through the air. Each feather contained powerful penetrating magic, and they swept towards the distraught Sera.

Sera reacted quickly, barely managing to erect a magical barrier, but in her chaotic state, she was unable to maintain its defensive strength. The barrier was already cracked before it could withstand the first wave of arrows.

When the second volley of arrows arrived, the barrier shattered completely, dissipating into countless points of light.

Several arrows pierced her shoulder, abdomen, and thigh.

Sera groaned and collapsed to her knees, dark purple blood gushing from her wound and dripping onto a torn page of a book that had somehow drifted in from somewhere.

Blood droplets spread across the yellowed paper, resembling withered flowers.

Mirajane landed slowly, and the winged demon behind her transformed back into the "Soul of Satan," turning into black mist and returning to her body. Lucifer's demonic transformation also gradually subsided, and he returned to his usual gentle appearance.

"What? Even the demons of the Book of Zeref can feel sadness?" Mirajane asked softly, her tone devoid of sarcasm, but rather tinged with curiosity.

"Shut up!"

Sera stared at the blood-stained page, her voice hoarse, "How could you lowly humans possibly understand the bond between me and Lord Kuanghua!"

Every living being will encounter its own bonds.

Mirajane answered calmly, taking two steps forward. "Demons are not superior to humans. In fact, how many of you demons truly care about your comrades? If you die, will your guild leader or the other members of the Nine Ghost Gate care? How many of them will grieve for you?"

“I’m different because I have a lot of companions who care about me and are waiting for me.”

These hurtful words froze Serra's body.

The demons in the Book of Zeref were created from the very beginning as Zeref's means of suicide.

Tools don't need emotions, so almost all demons lack the hindrance of "affection" or "bonds."

All they need to know is how to kill.

The fact that Zeref has survived to this day as a mere tool is enough to prove that demons are all failures.

A failed creation, a failed existence.

“Our existence… is truly a complete and utter mistake…” Sera gave a bitter laugh, and the light in her Demon Eye dimmed completely, like a candle flame that had been extinguished.

Hades' grand plan, the goal of resurrecting the strongest demon "END", the ambition to dominate the world... none of these matters to her anymore.

The very thing that sustained her for four hundred years turned out to be so fragile.

Her dark skin began to fade, and cracks appeared on her horns. Sera could no longer maintain her demonized state, and her will to fight and even survive rapidly weakened.

If I die, will I be able to see Lord Kyouka?

With a last glimmer of hope, Sera's body turned to ashes from her feet down, revealing her original form: an ancient book with "Sera" written on its cover.

One of the Nine Ghost Gates, Liang Yuetian Sera, gave up his life just like that.

Mirajane picked up the "Book of Sera" that had fallen to the ground, opened it, and found that its contents were all twisted script unique to demons, which she could not understand at all.

"Oh my, our guild's head steward has taken up reading."

A familiar voice came from behind her. Mirajane turned around abruptly and immediately saw Hope, who had been standing not far from her at some point. He was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and his usual sly smile on his face.

"Hope?! What brings you here?" Mirajane asked in surprise, her tense expression finally relaxing.

"I heard that the Heart of the Devil and the Gates of the Underworld are planning something on Sirius Island, so I came to check it out."

Hope said casually as she walked up to Mirajane, "We just happened to run into the headquarters of the Underworld Gate on the way and took them out of the way."

"This is a gift for you."

Hope winked at Mirajane, stretched out her hand, and a miniature magic circle appeared in her palm, within which the outline of a demon soul could be vaguely seen.

As Mirajane gazed at the demon soul, the 'Receive' magic within her immediately roared, making her instantly realize that this was the very thing that had shaken Sera... the Mad Flower.

Without a word, Hope shoved the miniature magic circle that imprisoned the "Soul of Madness" into Mirajane's hand and took the book from her hand as well.

"So you've already taken care of Sera."

Hope flipped through the Book of Sera, a glint of interest flashing in his eyes.

The Ancient Documents project is now open!

The translation function of the Ancient Text magic activated rapidly. The twisted demonic script gradually transformed into comprehensible content in his eyes, and within minutes he had read through Sera's life story.

Looking at Mirajane receiving the Soul of Madness, Hope's expression became somewhat subtle.

So they really are a pair of star-crossed lovers... Oh well, that tired trope is enough.

However, one of them is proficient in "Enhancement" and the other in "Command Spells," and both are top-notch female demons in terms of appearance and figure. Hope is now seriously questioning the mental state of the Dark Mage when he created Kyouka and Sera.

“Let them be together,” Hope said suddenly.

“Wh...what?” Mirajane was stunned for a moment.

Hope pointed at the Book of Sera: "Of course, it's to let you take over her power as well. Kuang Hua was still thinking about Sera in her last moments. Now I'm letting them die together. I'm such a benevolent person."

Mirajane tilted her head, and the guy started acting crazy again.

Chapter 232 My Favorite Magic

The souls of the mad beauties had long since given up struggling, and the Book of Sera lay there quietly. Because they had no will to resist, Mirajane's acceptance of it was a natural progression.

Dark purple and silvery-white light intertwined and surged into her body, and two completely different yet strangely complementary demonic powers gradually returned to her.

The whole process lasted about ten minutes.

After fully absorbing the new power, Mirajane released the absorption state and looked at her hands in a daze. "They... actually care about each other a lot."

She could sense that hidden within that cold, demonic power were emotions akin to those between humans.

Hope shrugged indifferently. "After all, the creators of Kuanghua and Sera were human. It's not surprising that Zeref added a little something to give them some human emotions. That doesn't stop them from dying when it's their turn."

"Tsk, what a girl with no girlish heart."

"Why would a grown man like me need a girlish heart?"

After exchanging a few words, Hope suddenly sensed someone approaching them and turned to look at the nearby woods.

A few seconds later, Mystogan, dressed in black, appeared, holding a pink-haired little girl about the same age as Wendy in his arms, and holding two prisoners by magical chains in one hand.

"Yo~ Mystgang, you've had a good haul."

Hope glanced at the pink-haired girl sleeping in Mistergang's arms and couldn't help but complain, "First Wendy, and now you've picked up a little girl. Are you a lolicon?"

Mistergang's lips twitched; he really wanted to say that his sexual orientation was perfectly normal.

Before Hope could explain, Mirajane, who arrived later, slapped her across the face. "Honestly, this girl is obviously an enemy. Look at the pattern on her clothes."

Hope came closer and discovered that the pink-haired girl had the "Devil's Heart" guild emblem on her clothes.

"The strongest dark guild, and they can send such a young kid to fight?" Hope couldn't help but express his disdain.

Mistgang shook his head. "You really underestimate them. This girl, and those two prisoners, are all cadres of the Demon Heart."

The pink-haired girl is named Melty, one of the Seven Kin of the Demon Heart Purgatory. She possesses the lost magic "Sinful Feelings," which allows her to connect people's magic, emotions, pain, and feelings, making her a formidable mage.

However, she encountered Mystergang.

Mystergan dealt with this kind of enemy, who mainly caused indirect damage, with ease. He didn't give Melty a chance to establish a magical connection; he put her to sleep in just one encounter.

Because Melty was still a child, and about the same age as Wendy, Mystogan, moved by compassion, did not use the magical chains on her.

"And what about them?"

Hope pointed to the two prisoners, who were not only tightly bound but also gagged. It was too much of a discrimination against them, as they were all members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

Of the two, the boy with messy, long blond hair is named Zancro, and he wields the lost magic "Flame God Destroyer".

Meanwhile, the other silver-haired, flamboyant bespectacled man, Lastiros, also possesses a lost magic called "Arc of Manifestation." This magic can turn anything imaginable into reality, but it has certain limitations and conditions, and requires complete concentration.

As the main force of the "Heart of the Devil," the Seven Kin of Purgatory all possess lost magic. Even the Mildian Magic Academy cannot find so many lost magic mages.

As expected of the "strongest" dark guild.

He's just a high-ranking member of the strongest dark guild, yet he can't even defeat a non-S-class mage from Fairy Tail.

According to Mystogan, after defeating Melty, he went to support his nearby comrades. When he arrived, Zankro had already been beaten to a pulp by Natsu, his mouth agape and eyes closed.

With the second magic source plus dragon power, unless there is an absolute crushing advantage in magic power, very few people can beat Natsu in a head-on confrontation.

Rastiros was defeated by a combination of Thors and Elfmen.

Fried, Bigelow, and Abba Green were all quite strong, and the three of them had worked together very well as teammates for many years.

With Elfman added to the mix, who could be both a tank and a main tank, Lustiros' disappointing imagination was no match for them and suffered a crushing defeat in a group attack by the four.

After dealing with their respective enemies, Natsu and the others went to other battlefields, leaving only the honest Mystogan to miserably pack up the prisoners.

But now that Hope is open, Mister Gang knows he can relax a bit.

Hope pulled out three blank cards from his dressing space, but before imprisoning the three Seven Kin, he didn't forget to record their magic.

[The extraordinary power—the lost magic 'Sinful Affection'—has been included; the estimated time required to decipher it is 45 days.]

[The extraordinary power—the lost magic 'Remnant Flame Godslayer'—has been included; the estimated time required to decipher it is 40 days.]

[The extraordinary power—the lost magic 'Arc of Manifestation'—has been included; the estimated time required to decipher it is 50 days.]
