Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Although sustained by Zudir's magic, Caprico's power has gradually weakened over the past two years due to the lack of replenishment from starlight energy.

During the attack on Sirius Island, Zudir unexpectedly discovered an unclaimed celestial spirit even more powerful than Capricco, the first of the twelve zodiac signs, Leo Leo.

Just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, Loki noticed Zeref, who was dragging him away, and promptly imprisoned him in a dark magic space. The vast difference in power meant Loki was completely unaware of this incident.

Lucy was shocked to learn that so much had happened before and after her mother's death, and she was furious at Zudir's disregard for human life.

Grammy couldn't get back in time because she encountered a natural disaster on the way. Even her mother, Leila, didn't blame her. This guy actually killed an innocent person because of his greed.

Chapter 255 Night on Sirius Island

When Leila entrusted the Capricorn Key to Judil, there was a prior agreement that if her daughter became a Celestial Spirit Mage, she would have to give the Celestial Spirit Key to Lucy.

Completely consumed by the darkness within him, Zudir broke his promise.

But Capricco was a man of his word, and the first thing he did after waking from his coma was to make a pact with the daughter of his deceased friend.

With the Capricorn key in hand, Lucy now possesses ten of the twelve golden astral keys, excluding the still-missing Pisces and Libra keys.

We can say that the future is promising once again.

But Lucy wasn't happy at all.

Because from the memories of Zudir that Hope had revealed, she learned another thing: that Grame was raising a lovely daughter on her own, a child who was about the same age as her.

In other words, Lucy wasn't the only child who lost her mother on that day seven years ago.

But Lucy at least still has a father.

Kograme's daughter, Brantish, had no relatives left...

In the end, Lucy made up her mind to go to the Western Continent to find her.

The western continent is Zeref's territory, and Zeref has made it clear to Hope that he and Leila are friends.

With this connection in mind, Lucy felt that asking the Alvarez Empire for help in finding Brandy's whereabouts shouldn't be a problem at all.

As for Zudir, because he violated the taboo of "human subordination," he should have died after being poisoned by magic following his separation from Capricco.

Only thanks to Hope's intervention was Zudir barely kept alive.

Now, it's time for this scumbag to pay the price.

In despair and fear of the magical backlash, Zudir vanished completely.

......

The bright moon hangs high, and the stars fill the sky.

The nights on Tianlang Island are quite cool.

Erza, dressed in a thin white dress, sat alone on a large rock, gazing blankly at the starry sky above. Moonlight streamed down her dazzling red hair, giving her a faint, cool aura.

Hope has told Eileen everything.

Erza is different from the other orphans in the guild. People like Natsu have had parents and experienced the love of family, so they can only be considered half orphans.

In her memory, there was no image of her father.

It wasn't until she joined Fairy Tail that she finally had "family" and understood what "family" felt like.

Ultimately, guild members are essentially companions. Although their way of getting along and their behavior are similar to those of family members, they are still different from blood relatives.

If you don't notice this subtle difference, that's fine.

Erza, realizing this from Belserion's words and Zeref's revelation, suddenly felt very sad.

She thought that after experiencing so much, she had come to terms with it and wouldn't be easily swayed by unfamiliar family ties, but now she couldn't help but feel sad.

It turns out my mother loves me very much.

So that's the kind of pain she was enduring...

A handkerchief suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Seeing Hope's outstretched hand, Erza subconsciously asked, "You're a grown man, why are you carrying a handkerchief when you go out?"

Hope's lips twitched. He had come to comfort Erza, but he hadn't expected her to say something like that right away.

"I sculpted this handkerchief using 'magnetic field power.' If you don't like it, I can change the design. How about a tissue?"

In front of Erza, Hope turned her handkerchief into a tissue.

After cultivating magnetic field power to 100,000 horsepower, one can initially achieve particle manipulation at the molecular level, and can consume power to transform simple, inanimate objects into another simple object.

Furthermore, as the power level increases, more microscopic and precise particle manipulation will be unlocked, such as altering the DNA of living organisms, turning air into complex objects at will, and even creating real life.

Erza took the tissue woven from magnetic energy. The soft touch on her fingertips... Such a powerful ability, now being used to rub tissues...

Sometimes I feel...

She gazed at the starry sky and whispered, "You are like an envoy sent by heaven to help us; you can do anything."

Hope sat down beside her, the coolness of the stone surface seeping through her clothes. "A messenger of God? That's not a good description."

In the magnetic world, Hope knew a divine messenger, but a certain lame, madman was forcibly rolled into a ball and died tragically.

Under the moonlight, Erza's profile was edged with silver. She remained silent for a long time, so long that Hope thought she wouldn't respond, when suddenly he felt a weight on his shoulder.

Erza leaned her head closer.

The movement was very gentle, tentative and cautious. Hope's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed, adjusting her position to make her more comfortable.

Erza spoke softly, "Hope."

"I'm here."

"It's so good to have met you."

Hope paused for a moment, then smiled, reached out and gently tucked a stray red hair behind her ear with her index finger.

He knew that Erza never needed long, comforting words, but rather someone who could catch her when she was willing to let down her guard and be her true self.

Just as Hope's hand was indecently hooking around Erza's waist, and Erza acquiesced, a voice suddenly came from the camp not far away.

"Erza, we're all ready!"

"We can set off now."

Kana and Mirajane each came over carrying a basket containing their clean clothes and towels, as well as milk and wine.

"Oh dear, it seems we've come at the wrong time."

Seeing the two embracing, Kana wasn't surprised and deliberately teased them with a sour tone.

“No, we’ve come at just the right time.” Mirajane smiled mysteriously, put her arm around Cana, and pulled Erza from Hope’s side into her arms.

This scene left Hope completely bewildered.

What's going on? This is such a classic scene, shouldn't it be his, the male lead's, moment? How come he's the one with Mirajane on both sides?

And what she said were all my words...

Seeing Hope's bewildered yet slightly aggrieved expression, Mirajane's smile widened, and she winked at him mischievously, "The three of us had a super awesome Sirius Island hot spring party, but guess who wasn't invited?"

Hope hesitated before replying, "Could it be me?"

Kana snapped her fingers, "Bingo! You got it right, but there's no reward~"

Seeing his heartbroken expression, Erza said with a mischievous grin, "But since the three of us girls are soaking in the hot spring, we're worried about perverts peeping, so we need a loyal dog to keep an eye out for us."

Hope was taken aback.

This violent redhead actually wants me to be their watchdog!

That's so humiliating!

But Erza continued the next second, "We've prepared several super sexy swimsuits."

Kana shook her head. "It's not a swimsuit at all. It's just two pieces of cloth hanging on a rope. What's the difference between that and not wearing anything?"

“Yes, Erza prepared so little fabric for her clothes…” Mirajane looked at Hope with interest. “It’s such a problem. You have to be completely open when you’re in a hot spring, but where can we find a dog to keep outsiders out of the way?”

Hope: "Woof woof woof!"

Chapter 256 First Encounter with the Black Dragon

On a small hillside somewhere on Tianlang Island.

Geothermal energy causes the spring water to steam into mist, and the rising steam, combined with the cool night breeze, creates a dense layer of water vapor, giving the hot spring a mosaic-like appearance.

Mirajane stretched her limbs in the spring water, the warmth flowing into her body and dispelling the chill, causing her to unconsciously let out a soft moan that filled with reverie.

The warm spring water accelerated blood circulation, causing a blush to rise on Kana's face. Her long, straight black hair, which hung down naturally, was soaking in the water, and a small wooden board with a wine cup on it in front of her swayed slightly.

Erza rose from the hot spring and sat by the pool. She wet a long towel and placed it against her firm chest, her legs gently stirring the water to create ripples, revealing her graceful figure.

Even though they were completely naked, the fog automatically blurred their faces, so no one except the three women in the hot spring could see them clearly through the mosaic.

Hope won't work either.

Because he's not here at all right now.

What could possibly make a guy who's driven by lust, willing to be a dog, give up such alluring beauty?

The answer is a man.

At the heart of the island, on the Sirius Tree, Mavis, who used to love sleeping there, was now so engrossed in the praise of her juniors that she forgot all about the tree. Meanwhile, a man stood barefoot atop the giant tree.

A gust of wind blew by, and Hope appeared, looking at the strange man with his back to him with displeasure in his eyes.

The isolation magic circle on Sirius Island has been ignored again. How can anyone just walk in? (Annoying)

What's even more infuriating is that this person entered Tianlang Island just as he was about to admire the three beauties bathing. He had already taken his pants off when this happened to him. This is truly intolerable.

"I'm very angry right now."

"I'll only ask you once: Who are you? What are you doing on Sirius Island? And when are you going to get out?"

Hearing the undisguised hostility, the man turned around. "Get lost? Human, who do you think you're talking to?"

Long, dark blue hair cascaded down to his waist, his eyes fierce. Several tattoos marked his half-naked, brown skin, and a black cloak hung loosely over his shoulders. A necklace made of teeth from an unknown creature hung around his neck.

At first glance, the strange man exuded a fierce and wild aura.

"It's you?"
