Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"If those dragons know what's good for them, that's fine. But if they don't appreciate the favor... to be honest, I've never tasted dragon meat before."

The young man's nonchalant tone conveyed to Lano an unwavering confidence, an aura that could only be displayed when one had absolute certainty about their own strength.

Lano took a deep breath and composed himself. "I wonder how much you two know about our continent of Giltina, and about dragons?"

Hope looked at him like he was an idiot.

If you want to tell a story, just tell it. Why keep it a secret?

Noticing Hope's gaze, Lano cleared his throat and began to explain the situation of the continent of Giltina, "Actually, there were no dragons on the continent of Giltina at first. It wasn't until more than 400 years ago that some dragons came to this continent."

"After a period of fighting each other, they decided to cease hostilities and divide up Kiltina. As the native humans, they naturally refused to agree, but unfortunately, most of us humans did not have the power to threaten the dragons."

"The physical strength and speed of dragons are already terrifying, and when you add in all kinds of magic, they are simply not something that ordinary mages can resist."

"They wreaked havoc and slaughtered indiscriminately; almost no one could resist them. Only in the last 100 years have they finally become somewhat more peaceful..."

Hope nodded. Only dragon-slaying magic is effective against dragons; ordinary mages are unlikely to pose much of a threat to them.

Erza noticed Lano's words and asked, "You said the vast majority... does that mean there are still a small number of mages who can resist dragons?"

"Yes, we also have Dragon Slayer Mages on our continent."

Lano's expression was somewhat unnatural, as if he had recalled some unpleasant memories. After a moment of silence, he continued, "It was a guild called 'Diabolos,' and all the members of this guild were Dragon Slayer Mages, but..."

"They are the fifth generation of Dragon Slayer Mages."

These words immediately piqued Hope's interest.

Mages who were personally taught Dragon Slayer Magic by dragons are known as the first generation, such as Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy.

Mages who use Dragon Slayer Crystals made from Dragon Hearts to learn and master Dragon Slayer Magic are called the Second Generation.

The third generation consists of mages trained by dragons and who also have dragon-slaying crystals implanted in their bodies.

Hope learned about the fourth-generation Dragon Slayer from an "ancient text"—it was an artificially created Dragon Slayer robot, essentially a tool.

As for the fifth generation...

Even Hope, nowadays, was hearing this term for the first time, and there was no record of the Fifth Generation Dragon Slayer Mage in the ancient documents.

Seeing Hope's slightly changing expression, Lano finally felt a little better. "Fifth generation Dragon Slayers are also called Dragon Eaters on our continent."

"Dragon Eater?"

Erza raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that they...?"

Lano nodded heavily. "That's right. The Dragon Slayers of Diablos all obtain their power by consuming the flesh and blood of dragons. It is said that the dragon power obtained in this way is purer and stronger."

There are actually people like this.

Indeed, directly devouring flesh and blood is the most direct way to convert power, but the downside is that it is unsafe, and one's mind may not be able to withstand the possible lingering resentment.

Hope previously said that eating dragons was just a boastful joke to show off, but unexpectedly, someone actually did it. That's quite courageous...

I just wonder what dragon meat tastes like.

Hope would like to see, given the chance, how much stronger these so-called fifth-generation Dragon Slayer mages are compared to other Dragon Slayer mages, from the Dragon Eater Guild "Diabolos".

Chapter 270 Five Divine Dragons

After drifting at sea for five days, the group finally arrived at the continent of Giltina. Led by Lano, they traveled for another two days in a magic carriage to reach their destination.

The Giltina Council, Southern Branch.

In the spacious yet solemn conference room, tapestries depicting the mountains and rivers of the continent hung on the walls. On either side of the long table, the Fairy Tail team, led by Hope, held their first formal conversation about the commission with Lano and another member of the branch.

Beside Councilor Lano was a slightly older, composed female councilor whose gaze calmly swept over the group of young mages before her.

Although she had some doubts about why Ishgar's supporters were all young people, Serena chose to trust them for now.

"I am Serena, a member of the Giltina Council, and I am mainly responsible for intelligence gathering on the dragons on this continent." Her voice was clear, yet gentle. "First of all, on behalf of the Giltina Council, I would like to thank you all for coming from afar."

"As for the situation we face on the mainland, I'm sure Representative Rano has already explained some of it to you on the way, so I won't go into details."

The situation on the Northern Continent is different from that on Ishgard. The threat of dragons has made the council members here much more amiable towards mages than their counterparts on the other continent.

Hope got straight to the point, "Now can you tell us the details of the commission, and the enemy's information?"

The request was very brief...

Serena gently raised her hand, and a magical light screen unfolded above the long table, revealing the shadows of five giant dragons, their specific forms indistinct. "Please seal or kill these evil dragons known as the 'Five Divine Dragons' of Giltina."

Five Divine Dragons? What a boastful tone.

Hope raised an eyebrow. How could they allow five dragons this arrogant in the world?

Erza asked, "Could you tell me more about the Five Divine Dragons?"

Serena readily agreed, “400 years ago, a terrible war took place in your Ishgar, where humans and dragons fought each other. It was a hymn to humanity and the end of the dragon race.”

"Towards the end of this war, several dragons escaped to our Kirtina."

“They usually don’t appear, but when they do, they bring massive disasters. Under the pressure of all kinds of evil deeds, people call the five dragons that cause the most and largest destruction the ‘Five Divine Dragons’.”

"This title has nothing to do with good or evil; it's simply because people are afraid..."

After Serena finished speaking, the Fairy Tail members fell silent.

Considering the extinction of the dragon race 400 years ago, it's easy to understand that these so-called five divine dragons probably fled to the continent of Giltina to escape the massacre by Acnologia.

As expected of you, Acnologia.

The strictest father in the dragon clan, an insurmountable mountain.

This just makes the Five Divine Dragons seem incredibly arrogant. Everyone originally thought they were some kind of formidable characters, but it turns out they were just a few cowards who ran off to another continent to bully others.

Hope simply didn't understand that the five dragon gods had fought over many battles in Giltina, and the magical aura they exuded during those battles was definitely stronger than that of the Dragon Slayers.

With Acnologia's perception, how could she not detect that there were still some dragons who had slipped through the net?

Could it be that guy really is a shut-in in Ishgard...?

"hateful!"

Natsu slammed his fist on the table, furious at the Five Dragon Gods' actions. "How could there be such vile dragons? If Igneel were here, he would definitely teach them a lesson!"

Serena shook her head. "Based on the intelligence gathered by our agents who risked their lives, we can confirm that the Five Divine Dragons have reached the 'Dragon King' level."

"So what? Igniel is still the Fire Dragon King!"

When talking about his dragon father, Natsu was full of confidence, after all, he was one of the two family members he admired the most, the other being Gildarts.

As for his older brother Zeref... sorry, he has amnesia and we're not close.

"So they're five dragons at the Dragon King level?" Hope raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by the level of the five divine dragons.

In terms of combat power, Ishgar seems to have no one who can rival the Five Dragon Gods except for Gildarts and the mysterious leader of the Ten Wizard Saints, "Celestial God".

"Dragon King" is an honorific title reserved for the strongest members of the dragon race, each of whom is capable of subduing a group of dragons.

In other words, Acnologia suddenly appeared, solved the troublesome Dragon King, and finally defeated the entire dragon race at the "Dragon King Festival".

Otherwise, even if humans possess dragon-slaying magic and have the assistance of dragons who are benevolent towards them, they can at most fight the evil dragons, who are guarded by several dragon kings, to a standstill.

Unless Zeref is willing to unleash the "Curse of Contradiction" and obliterate the Dragon Lords...

This demonstrates just how powerful a Dragon King-level fighter is.

According to Serena, the five dragons are of the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and moon, and each of them has developed their power to the point that they can influence reality.

However, due to internal discord, the five dragons have engaged in numerous infightings and have long since parted ways. Therefore, the Giltina Council is seeking support in order to take advantage of the five dragons' separation and defeat them one by one.

This was indeed a good opportunity. Hope glanced at Natsu, or rather, at something within him.

The Flame Dragon among the Five Divine Dragons sounds like a fire dragon that has survived since 400 years ago. Perhaps Natsu's dragon father knows it.

It's unclear whether Igniel, as the "King" of fire dragons, has any thoughts about cleaning up his fellow dragons.

After asking for some more information, Hope felt that he had a pretty good understanding of the power levels of the five dragon gods, and suddenly a wicked idea popped into his head.

If we shake Acnologia over...

After thinking it over, Hope gave up the idea. The main reason was that once the black dragon started to fight, it wouldn't care if there were any innocent passersby around. Even damaging some flowers and plants would be bad.

"Councilor Serena, could you please give me the location of the Five Divine Dragons, and also a list of tourist attractions and travel guides for your continent?"

Hope planned to take her companions sightseeing and, along the way, deal with those nonsensical Five Divine Dragons.

"Forehead......"

Upon hearing Hope's request, Serena hesitated for a moment, unsure how to react, before finally saying, "Travel itinerary is no problem, but the location of the Five Divine Dragons... I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Eh—?!"

The Fairy Tail members all showed expressions of surprise.

You hired someone to deal with the Five Divine Dragons, but you don't even know where the enemy is... That's a bit too frivolous.

Councilor Serena gave a bitter smile. The power gap between them and the Five Dragon Gods was so vast that they had already paid a huge price just to obtain a little bit of information about them.

As for the lair of the Five Divine Dragons, they truly lacked the ability to find out.

“However, there is one person who might know the whereabouts of the Five Divine Dragons.” Serena displayed a map of the continent in the magical light screen, marking an arrow at one of the locations.

Everyone looked over and saw a name marked there.

—The Dragon of the Magic Array.

The world's first mage guild.

Chapter 271 The First Guild

How did it suddenly become a running loop...?

Hope used to hate this kind of repetitive, chain-like design when playing single-player games. Yet, in order to prolong the player's playtime, the game deliberately designed the mission system into a series of endless, nested loops.

This is really troublesome.

Or we could just unleash a massive dragon-slaying spell into the sky and lure the black dragon over.

With his unique and complex magical powers, Acnologia could not possibly ignore him.

Seeing Hope's impatience, Mirajane spoke as if soothing a child: "Come on, Hope, let's go to the Magic Dragon. That century-old quest in Gildarts was issued by the Magic Dragon."
