Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Just because I haven't shown my power doesn't mean I'm some little sea snake!

The thought of taking action didn't even take a second; Melkkobia's body had already moved, raising his palm upwards.

In the blink of an eye, a massive column of water shot into the sky, carrying a terrifying force capable of tearing steel apart instantly, completely engulfing Hope's figure.

Melkkobia's chest heaved violently, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

He had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless arrogant and conceited people, but this was truly the first time he had ever seen someone so shameless and overbearing.

"Pity......"

Melkkobia muttered to himself, "If you don't threaten me with the Black Dragon, perhaps we can sit down and have a proper talk."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a lazy voice sounded from behind him.

"Talk about what? Talk about how you're going to beg me not to show the video to Acnologia?"

Melkkobia's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned around instantly. He saw Hope standing three meters behind him, completely unharmed, her clothes intact, holding the recording magic crystal in her hand, looking at him with a playful gaze.

"you......"

"What do you mean 'you'? According to turn-based combat, it's my turn to make a move now."

Hope yawned, his lazy smile vanished, and he exuded no sense of danger. "Relax, I'll only throw one punch."

The next second, an overwhelming killing intent suddenly erupted.

110,000 horsepower!

Wuji Zhenchan!

Chapter 283 The Sincerity of a Punch

Hope's punch didn't land directly on Melkkobia, but grazed his side and plunged into the endless sea.

In an instant, the entire underwater world of Elmina trembled violently.

A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread wildly, and wherever it passed, the seawater was not pushed aside, but was directly evaporated to create a huge vacuum zone.

Natsu and the others, who were playing in the distance, and the local residents who had turned into fish, felt an irresistible force surge towards them, and everyone was pushed backward as if by an invisible hand.

When they regained their balance and looked again, everyone gasped in shock.

The seawater within a kilometer radius of the town was completely cleared away, and even Elmina turned back into land.

Moonlight streamed through the water wall, refracting a dreamlike glow.

But beneath this dream lies a power capable of crushing everything.

Melkkobia stood there, frozen in place, as if petrified.

What did he just sense?

One punch to cleave the sea...

If that punch had landed on him...

As a dragon that has survived from 400 years ago, Melkkobia may not be able to say much else, but he certainly has a broad perspective and knows all too well the significance of Hope's punch.

It wasn't magic, but it possessed a terrifying power that could make even dragons feel threatened with death.

"You... what exactly are you...?"

Melkkobia's voice was trembling.

Hope withdrew his fist, dusted off non-existent dust from his clothes, and resumed his lazy demeanor. "Don't be nervous. I said I'd only throw one punch, not that I was going to hit you."

He pointed to the cleared seawater around him and said, "Look, it's so much more convenient to talk like this. We don't have to blow bubbles in the water anymore. Isn't that great?"

Melkkobia: "..."

He now finally believed what Hope had said before: that even the Black Dragon couldn't do anything to him. That wasn't just bragging; Hope really did have that ability.

He definitely has the power to kill himself.

To actually attack such a being, and by sneak attack at that... what's the difference between this and lighting a lamp in a latrine?

Is it too late to kneel down and beg for mercy now?

Just then, a commotion arose behind them.

Natsu was the first to rush in, followed by Gray, Lucy, and the others who looked completely bewildered.

"Hope! What happened?!" Natsu looked around and then saw Melkkobia standing there dumbfounded. "You have horns on your head?!"

“Natsu, he is the Water Dragon.” Knuki immediately recognized Melkkobia’s identity; dragons are very sensitive to the aura of their own kind.

"What?! A water dragon?!"

Natsu instantly got fired up, assuming a fighting stance. "Great! I've finally found you! Let's have a fight!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Lucy grabbed Natsu. "Can't you see what's going on? The seawater around us is all gone! Hope did this!"

Everyone looked at Hope.

Hope shrugged. "It's nothing, just had a chat with His Highness the Water Dragon and showed him some sincerity."

“Sincerity?” Mirajane blinked, looking at Elmina who had instantly transformed from an underwater world back into a land town. “Your way of expressing sincerity is really… unique.”

Melkkobia finally came to his senses. He looked at Hope, then at the group of Fairy Tail mages, and finally at the residents in the distance who were panicked by the sudden disappearance of the seawater.

Seeing that the residents who had turned into fish were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, spreading out a soft, light blue light.

In less than a minute, Elmina returned to its underwater world form.

"Amazing..." Wendy exclaimed, "Is this the power of the Water Dragon? It can control such a vast amount of seawater at will."

Melkkobia ignored the praise and stared intently at Hope. "What exactly do you want?"

Hope dropped her nonchalant smile and looked at Melkkobia seriously. "Of course I wanted to have a good talk with you, but who would have thought you would suddenly make a move."

Melkkobia's lips twitched.

Is it that he's unwilling to communicate properly? It's clearly this Hope guy who keeps provoking and threatening him...

But might makes right, and even a dragon can only coil up.

Looking at the now obedient Melkkobia, Hope had realized from the beginning that he meant no harm, not only to them, the outsiders, but also to the residents of Elmina.

However, his mischievous nature got the better of him, and he accidentally teased the water dragon to the point of anger.

"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me."

Led by Melkkobia, the group arrived at an underwater palace located directly below Elmina, which was the usual residence of the Water Dragon.

As soon as they entered the palace, a brown-haired girl with glasses greeted them, "Lord Water Dragon, welcome home."

As the steward of the Water Dragon, Karamiru made no attempt to hide her disdain for Hope and the others, saying, "Why did you bring back Elevseria's helpers?"

"Because they can 'talk'."

Melkkobia looked at the girl with a hint of doting in his eyes. "We need some space. Could you please leave for a moment?"

"Go ahead," Karamiru said angrily and left.

This scene surprised everyone.

The mighty water dragon spoke softly and gently to his human steward, even when Karamiru gave him a cold shoulder, he still wore a gentle smile.

Hope joked, "That's really strange. That girl isn't a mage, yet you keep an ordinary person by your side."

A complex look flashed in Melkkobia's eyes. He had once unintentionally saved Karamiru, but who knew that the child would cling to him and insist on staying to repay his kindness.

Over time, I got used to it.

Melkkobia sat casually on the carpet. "Actually, the reason why Elmina has become like this is all my fault."

"Do you mean it becomes an underwater world?"

“That’s right.” Melkkobia looked down at his palm. “As my strength continues to grow, I’m starting to lose control of my magic.”

"I am a water dragon, born with the ability to control water. When magic is out of control, the sea level in this area will rise and engulf that human town."

Melkkobia sighed, "I don't want to hurt them, so I've been waiting for someone to kill me or seal me away."

Chapter 284 The Dragon's Worries

The protector of this sea area actually said he wanted to be killed or sealed away.

Everyone was quite curious about this.

Hope suddenly realized that when he first met Melkkobia, he noticed that the guy exuded the same slightly melancholic aura as Jelf.

The Black Mage and Melancholy represent the powerlessness of watching life die before one's eyes, being the source of it all, yet being unable to do anything about it.

Is the Water Dragon also a contradictory being with self-destructive tendencies?

Melkkobia said nothing, but instead led everyone on a tour of his palace.

Although located in the deep sea, the interior of the Writing Hall is a sealed space with a complete air circulation system, just like on land.

Apart from the resting quarters, most of the area is planted with a wide variety of crops, which Melkkobia will then distribute to the residents of Elmina after the harvest.

He also established a medical facility in the temple specifically for treating injured fish.

In addition, the temple's watchtowers, which extend directly to the sea, can promptly detect those in distress at sea, making it easier for Melkkobia to assist them.

Karamiru was kept by Melkkobia in this way, and later became his steward to repay his kindness.

With so many acts of kindness, it's no wonder that the town above once worshipped Melkkobia as a god, and even had special rituals to worship him.

After visiting the palace, everyone felt that the "Five Divine Dragons" were all evil dragons that brought disaster, which was not a very reliable claim.

Melkkobia appears completely harmless.

Although the magical surge caused the sea to rise and submerge Elmina, he also managed to develop a magical potion that allowed creatures to breathe underwater, which he distributed to the residents.

And it seems that the locals in Elmina really enjoy their current lifestyle.

"Ensuring food security for residents."

"To rescue living beings in danger."

"It's so touching."
