Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Chapter 239 This is how we cheat!

A new era?

Faced with Hope's bold statement, Hades hadn't said anything yet, but Makarov was taken aback. This nearly ninety-year-old man was also from the old era.

Don't drag me into your show-off act, you brat...

However, neither Makarov nor Hades, who is over 110 years old, is the "Whitebeard" next door; they still have the power to dominate the new era.

Hades, in particular, is now a centenarian who, after 48 years away from Fairy Tail, is not only stronger than before, but also in better physical condition than Makarov.

He was once a dominant force in the magical world, and he has returned still as an unparalleled powerhouse.

However, the youthful exuberance also slightly affected Hades's heart. If he remembered correctly, the guild spirit that Mavis conveyed was "friendship and adventure".

How did this little brat suddenly appear?

Is the problem with Makarov's teaching, or is he simply too out of touch with today's youth...?

However, when Hades felt the magic released by Hope, all the chaos in his heart vanished completely.

"This magic... Just how much magic do you possess?!" He looked at Hope with disbelief in his eyes.

A mage's magic power is generally influenced by their primary magic. For example, Natsu's magic power leans towards the passion of fire, while Gray's magic power is accompanied by a touch of the temperature of ice.

But Hope's magic is completely different.

Hades perceived his magic as a palette of colors mixed together with different pigments.

It's a mess.

He could only think of one reason to explain this situation.

That is because Hope knows so many spells that far exceed the limits of ordinary mages, resulting in his magical aura giving people a chaotic feeling of all sorts of things.

Hades himself knows a lot of magic, but he can't produce such a magical feeling.

“Impressive. I believe that with my experience and knowledge, I am the person in Ishgar who has mastered the most magic. I did not expect that you, at such a young age, have already surpassed me in the magic you know.”

Even though they are currently enemies, Hades couldn't help but praise, "Without a doubt, you have a magical talent far superior to mine. Perhaps in just ten or twenty years, you will be able to glimpse the abyss of the demonic path with your own strength."

"pity......."

Hope looked at Hades, who was suddenly praising her, and curled her lips. Hades was already cheating. Knowing a bunch of magic was something anyone could do.

Although pleased with the old man's praise, Hope had no intention of hearing what he would say next.

After a villain usually finishes a long speech, adding transitional words like "unfortunately" or "but," there's almost nothing nice to say next.

He didn't want to listen to the old man's boastful words, relying on his age.

"Isn't that enough? If we don't start fighting soon, I'll be waiting forever," Hope interrupted Hades.

This level of villain comes with an immunity buff to verbal attacks; no amount of grand principles matters to him, and physical communication is the most effective way to interact with him.

Hades naturally understood this as well.

Normally he would have finished killing and left long ago, but the reason he talked so much today was simply because he had reunited with Makarov after a long separation and couldn't help but linger a little longer.

"Amaterasu: Hundred Styles!"

Skipping the trash talk, without any warning, Hades immediately unleashed a powerful attack; the complex "Amaterasu" magic circle was just a piece of cake for him.

If Makarov's magic is a towering peak, then Hades' magic is a continuous, majestic mountain range that soars into the clouds.

His powerful magic allows him to perform any complex spell in an instant.

However, Hades' attack was met with... several complex magic circles composed of countless black magical characters, arranged in an orderly fashion in front of Hope.

It was none other than the "Amaterasu style".

Moreover, it is even more complex than Hades's Hundred Magic Circles.

The two magic spells, sharing the same origin, collided, and the violent roar shook the entire Sirius Island.

The shockwave spread outwards, causing towering waves to rise on the nearby turbulent sea. Amidst the deafening explosions, the waves were swept away by the scattered magical energy and crashed onto the distant sea.

After the first move, Hades was forced to take a step back and was shocked to see the same magic that was even more complex than his own "Amaterasu".

"You actually developed the 'Amaterasu Style' to a level even higher than mine?!"

Upon hearing this, Makarov's mouth dropped open.

Before leaving the guild, Precito, who was not yet Hades, left behind his masterpiece, "Amaterasu," hoping that one day a junior would inherit his magic.

However, because this "Amaterasu Style" is too complex and difficult to understand, and requires a high level of magic power and intelligence, it has been gathering dust in the guild library.

Until Hope discovered it.

Makarov knew that Hope had used the "Ancient Scripture" as an aid to master the "Amaterasu Style".

But he never imagined that in such a short time, this kid would develop this magic to a level even higher than Hades, its creator.

Watching the two old country bumpkins enter the city, Hope proudly raised his head.

Sorry, cheating means you can do whatever you want.

With a wave of his hand, Hope broke the previously stalemate of magical clashes, and Hades was instantly forced to retreat by his magic.

Hades's painstakingly developed "Amaterasu Hyakushiki" is nowhere near as good as the "Amaterasu Senshiki" created by the system using multiple magics as materials.

A thousand is greater than a hundred.

The name alone gives it an edge.

Faced with the overwhelming attack, Hades had no choice but to take it seriously and unleashed the signature move of Brann Elysium, "Eternal Darkness."

Dark magic is like a bottomless abyss, swiftly deflecting the invading attack towards the distant sea.

Amid the explosion, Hades once again gathered his magic power, his palms facing upwards.

Two continuously collapsing black spheres slowly emerged.

The moment the magic sphere appeared, the surrounding light and shadow began to distort, and the pebbles and sand on the ground were sucked into it and disappeared, as if it could devour everything.

"Let me show you the true nature of dark magic!"

"Darkness - Gravity Source!"

Hope's expression finally turned serious. When this old guy beat Makarov, he probably didn't even use half his strength. So he really couldn't bear to kill the disciple he raised.

Like his grand-disciple, he's another arrogant person who doesn't dare to acknowledge his own true feelings.

They're both old men, so why does my old man look so weak compared to the old man across from me...?

Oh, so it was the master beating the apprentice. Oh well, it's alright then.

Makarov, who was watching the game, noticed the sympathetic look that Hope suddenly gave him. Although he didn't understand it, he just felt that this brat was talking about him.

Chapter 240 Killing Whale Overlord Fist

"go with!"

Hades gave a gentle push, and the two magical black balls, one on the left and one on the right, moved in a trajectory that completely defied the laws of physics, closing in on Hope.

Wherever it passed, trees, sand, and the remaining magic in the air were all swallowed up, leaving not even a trace.

Their escape route was blocked.

Makarov's heart was in his throat. Even from an outsider's perspective, he could feel how terrifying this move was, let alone Hope, who was in the midst of it.

Hope took a deep breath, and with her left hand, she shaped a frying pan from her "Frost Blossom" form. She briefly froze a nearby dark sphere, then slapped it straight into the sky.

With his right hand, he unleashed the "Flame King" magic, its power tripled, and the flames immediately exploded against another dark magic orb.

After the two explosions, Hope, who was in the center, disappeared.

Hades seemed to sense something, turned around and unleashed a dark wave with his palm. Hope, who had just landed via teleportation, smiled and countered with a fire dragon's iron fist.

The collision of fists and palms caused Hades to stagger back three steps before stopping.

In contrast, Hope stood firmly in place, even having the leisure to tease Hades, "Truly a veteran, his combat experience is indeed rich, but youth has its own advantages."

Hades remained silent.

In the exchange just now, Hope used four different spells in succession, two of which were ice and fire spells that he had never seen before.

With his intelligence, he immediately deduced that those two spells were probably new spells that Hope had created herself.

Is youth the strongest weapon?

It's more accurate to say that the younger generation is truly formidable.

Hades, however, was not one to back down. He shook his slightly numb hand, and surging magic instantly condensed into several larger dark magic orbs around him.

Despite their greater quantity and quality, Hades manipulated them with ease. The raging dark energy sealed off the space, rendering the 'teleportation' magic ineffective.

Hope clenched her fist, and a silver, round moon magic circle appeared above her head. The cool 'Moon Godslayer' magic stopped the restless dark magic.

The complete God-Slaying Magic.

Hades is becoming increasingly interested in Hope.

Hope, however, did not want to be targeted by an old man. She took a step forward and arrived in front of Hades in the blink of an eye, throwing a punch imbued with deep purple magic.

This move uses the "Poison Dragon Slayer" magic, which contains a toxin that can paralyze the body.

But for the well-informed Hades, it was no big problem. He pushed forward with his hand, and a solid barrier of dark magic immediately took shape.

Hope had anticipated this, and amidst the sound of the magic barrier shattering, a blinding golden light suddenly burst forth.

Boom! ...

The awe-inspiring might of the heavens was unfathomable. Thunderclaps, like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth, roared. The incomparably violent lightning engulfed Hades' figure, and golden magical turbulence raged.

The shockwave from the explosion even reached the other side of Tenrou Island, where the Fairy Tail crew was battling Hades. Everyone stared in astonishment in that direction.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Hades remained standing, but his black robes and armor were mostly torn, revealing his aged yet muscular body. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, while the crimson light in his single eye burned ever brighter.

"Good...very good."

Hades wiped away the blood, his smile turning ferocious. "I haven't been injured in a long time, young man, you are worthy to withstand my full power."
