Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Melkkobia thought for a moment before replying, "There are no ordinary Thunder Dragons, but there is one 'Thunder Dragon King'."

Thunder Dragon King Alexon.

Judging from the title, this person is someone on par with Natsu's Dragon Father.

According to Melkkobia, the Thunder Dragon King died more than 20 years ago, killed by Jogg Raison, the guild master of the Dragon Eater Guild "Diabolos".

Thinking of Jorg Lysen, whom he had so easily manipulated, Hope felt a pang of disappointment. "Wait, is the mighty Thunder Dragon King really that weak?"

You've misunderstood.

Melkkobia sighed and explained, "The reason why the Thunder Dragon King lost to that Dragon Eater was not because he was weak, but because he was too old."

Is it really because of age?

The saying "When fists are combined, youth is feared" also applies to dragons.

The Diablos Guild possesses the method to create Dragon Slayer Crystals. The Thunder Dragon King's corpse had long been eaten by members of that guild, but its heart was kept to be made into Dragon Slayer Crystals, which were then sold at a high price in Ishgar, on the eastern continent.

After all, for the fifth-generation Dragon Slayer Mage who prides himself on being the "strongest," the Dragon Slayer Crystal is nothing but an outdated item, and it would be more practical to sell it and convert it into cash.

With his own problems resolved, Melkkobia, in high spirits, prepared to throw a banquet to celebrate, making his quiet palace lively and bustling.

Just then, his adopted daughter's housekeeper, Karamiru, returned.

"Karamiru, we're getting ready..."

"Lord Water Dragon! Please hear me out first."

Karami interrupted Melkkobia, her face beaming with obvious joy, "Haven't you been worried about your magic? A very powerful mage contacted me before, saying she could bring you back to normal."

"The mage is already outside the palace. Shall we go see her?"

Melkkobia was slightly taken aback.

Karamiru was just an ordinary person who didn't even know magic, so naturally he couldn't see that the part of his uncontrollable magic had been resolved.

“Thank you for your trouble, Karamiru,” Melkkobia said gently. “But Mr. Hope has already taken care of the problem for me.”

"Huh?! Is that so... That's wonderful!"

Karamiru was a little disappointed, but she immediately felt genuinely happy for Melkkobia, and even the previously hostile Hope and his group became more agreeable to her.

As for the mage invited by Karamiru, the banquet was all about being lively, so one more person wouldn't make a difference. Therefore, Melkkobia asked her to bring the person in.

Before long, a silver-haired girl in a white dress followed Karamiru to the main hall where a banquet was being prepared.

Karamiru extended her hand and introduced the girl behind her, "This is Faris, nicknamed the White Mage. She's super—powerful."

The next second, more than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on the silver-haired girl.

Those scrutinizing gazes made Faris, who wanted to greet them politely, swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Chapter 288 Faris

Faris felt like she was being watched by a pack of wild beasts.

Especially the nonchalant black-haired boy sitting to the side; his eyes seemed indifferent, yet he gave her the illusion that he could see right through her from head to toe.

"Um... hello everyone?"

Faris forced a smile and greeted them, "I am Faris. I heard that Lord Water Dragon is troubled by a magical rampage, so I came here specifically to..."

"You're too late!" Natsu waved his hand and said smugly, "We've already taken care of Melkkobia, it's none of your business."

Faris: "..."

Hope: I'm the one who did the work, so why is this kid so cocky...?

Faris looked at Karamiru, and the little butler smiled awkwardly, her eyes filled with apology, because Faris was actually someone she had invited to help the Water Dragon, but she hadn't expected her to arrive a step too late.

Faris's gaze fell on Hope.

Was it this person who solved the problem of the Water Dragon's magic going berserk before her?

Faris carefully sensed Melkkobia's magical fluctuations and found that they were indeed much more stable; the chaotic aura that had been faintly detectable before had completely disappeared.

Now that the Water Dragon has returned to normal, how can she continue with her plans... Whether she takes direct action or engages in underhanded tactics, it will likely be difficult to affect Melkkobia any further.

Faris was peeking at Hope, but Hope openly stared back at her with a curious look in her eyes, a hint of amusement in them.

This northern continent belongs to Pan Feng, right?

First, there were the Five Divine Dragons, whose strength was "supposedly" no less than that of the Black Dragon, and then a White Mage suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, no one said that white mages could be compared to black mages, otherwise he really might have lost his composure.

However, this White Mage, Fallis...

In Hope's perception, Faris's magical power was so immense that even Natsu and the others, who had already awakened their second magical source, were far inferior to her.

Among the normal human mages he had seen, this level of magic power was even above Gildarts, and only slightly weaker than Hades.

But Hades lived for over 110 years, and his powerful magic was entirely worthy of his talent; the nickname "Little Zeref" wasn't given lightly.

Kofallis... This silver-haired girl who looks like she's eighteen or nineteen years old can't possibly be an old thing who's lived for decades or hundreds of years and accumulated great magic power by working long hours, right?

The atmosphere in the quiet hall suddenly fell silent.

"Guests are always welcome. If you don't mind, please join us for the banquet," Melkkobia said gently, breaking the subtle awkwardness.

He looked at Faris and said, "Karamir said he had hired a very capable mage, but I never expected it to be you, the pope of the White Magic Order."

"The White Magic Cult?"

Levy remembered something and pulled out the introduction to the Giltina forces that Councilor Serena had given her before. There are three top forces on this continent, which cooperate with the Council to maintain local peace and order.

In reality, the council was outmatched and had no way to deal with these three powerful forces. Their so-called "cooperation" was just a face-saving rhetoric.

These three forces are:

Diablos, the Dragon Eater Guild.

Alchemy Guild - Golden Owl.

The White Magic Cult, whose doctrine is to "return the world to 'white nothingness'".

The Pope of the White Magic Order, also known as the White Mage.

However, when she saw the information about the Pope in the intelligence report, Levy's pupils contracted, and her face was immediately filled with surprise.

Gajeel and Riki, who were sitting nearby, curiously leaned over and read the contents aloud: "The White Magic Order was founded more than 100 years ago, and its Pope is the Great Witch who ascended the throne 100 years ago... Fallis?!"

Everyone's eyes widened immediately.

Hope realized that he had just deduced the reason for Faris's unusual magic...

The outspoken Natsu couldn't hold back his words, "You're actually an old woman who's over a hundred years old?!"

No woman would be comfortable being called an old woman in public, and under Natsu's loud voice, Faris's meticulous smile instantly froze.

Faris took a deep breath, trying to suppress the urge to "dye" Natsu white. After she calmed down, she realized that the crowd didn't seem as surprised as she had imagined.

Melkkobia's composure is understandable, after all, he is a dragon who has lived for at least 400 years.

But what's with these human mages' bewildered expressions?

A super-invincible beautiful girl who appears to be over a hundred years old is standing in front of you. Aren't you going to say anything?

At least two screams...

At the very least, show some shock...

Faris was a little taken aback.

But she never imagined that these mages from the Eastern Continent had even seen a 400-year-old black mage in person, making the 100-year-old Xiao Deng seem like a small fry compared to them.

In a daze, Faris suddenly realized that she seemed to understand why these people were not surprised.

Could it be that my plan to seize control of the White Magic Order by using the power of "White Annihilation" while the first White Mage was missing has been exposed?

Or did they control the members of the cult and let them spread the false news that he, the so-called second-generation White Mage, succeeded to the throne 100 years ago, and then they were discovered?

Oh no, oh no! I hope the water dragon that was deceived won't be angry and eat me.

Even if the Water Dragon spares me, how can I explain this to the Moon Dragon, and how can I save my homeland...?

Waaaaah... I'm not even 20 years old... Why do I have to carry so much burden...?

Faris was inwardly crying, but Hope was all smiles on the outside.

Eavesdropping on other people's thoughts is often a pleasant thing.

And just like that, I stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip.

It turns out that Faris wasn't a real White Mage at all; she simply used magic to influence others, thus impersonating the second-generation White Mage.

It's unclear whether it was because Faris's magic was too powerful or the White Magic Order was too incompetent, as they didn't even notice their own leader had been replaced without anyone noticing.

However, it turns out that Faris is actually related to the Moon Dragon.

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

The thought that the person behind Faris was one of the Five Dragon Gods triggered Hope's mischievous side again. He pointed at Kurnuki, who was quietly eating.

"Fallis, do you know who he is?"

Faris, regaining her senses, shook her head.

“He is the Sword Saint Dragon, the son of the Moon God Dragon.” Hope’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “Although I don’t know what your relationship is with the Moon God Dragon, if you want to rebel against her, starting with her son is definitely the way to go.”

"There's a saying that goes, 'Using the dragon's son to command the dragon's mother...'"

Kurnuki, who had a vegetable leaf in his mouth, broke out in a cold sweat.

Wait a minute! Why is it coming at me?!

Chapter 289 The Moon Dragon's Ambition

Using the dragon's son to control the dragon mother...

You really came up with that idea!

But Faris had to admit that she was tempted by Hope's suggestion.
