Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Looking at the girl with long, crimson hair fluttering in the wind.

A red-haired human aided by the Wise Dragon Belserion.

The Wood Dragon suddenly remembered Irene, the mother of Dragon Slayer Mages, from 400 years ago—the root cause of the dragon race's demise. At that time, just like now...

He seemed to see himself again, the one who had been turned into a roadside dummy by Acnologia and almost kicked to death.

Wood Dragon couldn't understand. Was the continent of Kiltina going to become his final resting place?

No way! It's impossible!

He hadn't even exerted his full power yet, hadn't defeated the other dragons, and still harbored the ambition of turning the entire continent of Giltina into his own body. How could he be defeated here by mere humans?

Resentment, anger, rage... a torrent of emotions finally condensed into the boiling magic, erupting from the massive body of the Wood Dragon.

The immense power allowed him to instantly break free from the suppression of the Giant Gate Sword.

The group was forced back by the magical fluctuations. Although they seemed to be able to overpower the Wood Dragon with their numerical advantage, they could only retreat tactically when the Wood Dragon used all its magic.

After all, the difference in magical power between the two sides was quite significant. Despite the screams of agony the group made as they attacked the Wood Dragon, in reality, apart from Erza's Giant Gate Sword, none of them inflicted any actual damage on it.

Fortunately, with Hope continuously drawing upon the Wood Dragon's magic power, everyone had no worries.

"Hahaha! That was so much fun! So much fun!"

Natsu regained his footing, his eyes shining with excitement. He clapped his fists together, flames shooting skyward. "Hey, Wooden Dragon! Come on! I haven't had enough yet!"

“I haven’t had enough either.” Gray stretched his shoulders, a chill emanating from him. “That wasn’t even a warm-up.”

"Don't steal my prey." Laxus put his hands in his pockets, golden lightning crackling around him. "Let the professionals handle dragons."

Kana raised her hand, "Everyone, it can't just be you few having fun, at least let us girls and cats have some participation too."

Lucy and the three cats looked eager to try.

Even the literary-minded girls, Rae and Wendy, couldn't contain their excitement.

Violence is bad, but it was a living dragon, and a damned evil dragon at that. If they didn't go up and beat it up with everyone, they were afraid they would regret it later.

The Wood Dragon felt bitter seeing this scene.

They used... all of my magic!

Where are my teammates? They've already reached 90% of their original strength, so why haven't they dealt with that human named Hope yet? Check Aldoron's status.

A wisp of Wood Dragon's consciousness shifted its perspective to his final divine seed.

Seeing Aldoron chopped into six pieces, with his limbs, torso, and head impaled high on wooden spears, the Wood Dragon was shocked into silence by this hellish scene of "strings of Aldoron".

Aldoron truly kept his word; he certainly didn't waste much of Hope's time...

Just how powerful was this human that even the main body didn't realize that his clone had been killed?

And this guy is just too cruel.

Sensing the subtle, yet unseen, gaze from the shadows, Hope turned her head and stared intently at the massive head of the Wood Dragon. "What? You find this cruel?"

"When you treat humans as nourishment and don't even spare corpses, have you ever thought that one day you yourself will suffer a miserable end?"

"You bastard! Who do you think you're talking to!"

Provoked, the Wood Dragon roared, "I am a god!"

Hope scoffed, "A piece of trash who was beaten so badly by Acnologia that he can only hide in Giltina and eke out a living, a piece of garbage who has to secretly devour countless human lives to regain his power."

"You... dare to call yourself a god?"

"Ah! Arrogance!"

The Wood Dragon repelled Erza and the others who tried to approach again, and Hope, who had locked all her magic power onto him, declared, "Dragons are the pinnacle of all living beings! All humans are my nourishment! My servants!"

"Prepare to go to hell and repent, you insignificant insect!"

"Savor this endless sword dance! Wrath of the Gods! Forest of Swords and Halberds!"

Endless sharp wooden spikes pierced out from the body of the Wood Dragon, each strike possessing terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and shaking peaks.

After all, it was a monster that had accumulated magic power for over 400 years. When the Wood Dragon unleashed its full power, even Erza and the others, who were not its target, were horrified by its might.

But for Hope, it was nothing special.

"Wood Dragon, you're wrong about one thing."

Hope revealed a slightly sinister smile, "Right now, the strongest creature in the world isn't a dragon... it's me!"

His body exploded with an extreme speed that defied the laws of physics, the ground beneath his feet shattered in a radial pattern, and in the next instant, Hope appeared on the giant head of the Wood Dragon.

He clenched his right fist and punched straight out without any fancy moves.

"Magnetic field rotation! 180,000 horsepower!"

"Whale Dominates the World!"

Wherever the fist struck, space distorted, as if an invisible giant whale had opened its black hole-like maw, devouring everything in its path.

The Wood Dragon's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

He didn't see a fist.

It is the collapse of stars, the sinking of the earth, the ultimate killing move of a powerful being with the power of 180,000 horsepower rotating in a magnetic field, who concentrates all his power into a single strike.

Faced with the illusory giant whale, the Wood Dragon felt as if it were just a small fish about to be swallowed by the sea, powerless to resist.

The force of the punch pierced through the head of the wooden god's dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the Wood God, which had devoured countless lives, began to crumble inch by inch, starting from the top of its head.

Chapter 317 The End of the Work

With a single punch.

The Wood Dragon's body, starting from its head, crumbled inch by inch, like a sandcastle encountering a tide.

The magic power accumulated over four hundred years, the body that had devoured countless lives and grown to resemble an endless mountain range, all collapsed and disintegrated at this moment, turning into countless magical particles.

Countless specks of light fell from the sky, like stardust or fireflies.

Like souls whose life force had been drained by the Wood Dragon, finally freed and dancing.

The scene was completely silent.

Natsu stared in shock, his mouth agape, but no sound came out. The arcs of electricity around Laxus ceased their leaping, and a bitter look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Mirajane reached out and caught a few points of light. The points of light lingered in her palm for a moment before dissipating into a warm glow.

The expressions of the others were also quite interesting.

One punch.

Just one punch.

That terrifyingly large wooden dragon, whose defenses they had barely managed to break through despite fighting it for a long time, was blasted to pieces by Hope's single punch.

Although everyone was confident in Hope's abilities, no one expected that the Wood Dragon would be taken down so easily and decisively.

Kana's wine jug fell to the ground, but she didn't even notice.

Lucy and Happy huddled together. Just moments ago, they had been thinking about going up and taking advantage of the Wood Dragon's power to give it a good beating, but now they only felt relieved.

I'm glad I didn't actually rush up there.

Because that kind of power... would explode if you got any closer.

With the Wood Dragon dead, and without its source of magic, the "Magic Enhancement: Giant" on everyone naturally dissipated. They felt a sudden lightness in their bodies, their expansive vision rapidly shrank, and their bodies returned to their original size.

Everyone looked at the figure standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

Hope's imposing aura receded like the tide, and he reverted to his usual cheeky and lazy demeanor. He turned his head, looked at his group of hesitant companions, and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you all standing there for? We're done for the day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Natsu was the first to come to his senses. "Hey! Can you teach me that move too! One punch and you blow up a dragon! That was so cool! So cool!"

Halfway through his sentence, Natsu suddenly remembered something. "Hope, didn't we agree to let us have some fun? Why did you suddenly take care of the wooden dragon? I hadn't even used my full strength yet."

"You didn't hold back, you just got cocky," Xia Lulu retorted expressionlessly. "It seems your courage has grown along with Hope's magic, and you don't know your own limitations."

"Hey? Xia Lulu, didn't you also want to go up and try?"

"I do not have."

"You did! I saw you show your claws just now, didn't you, Harpy?"

"Hey, we didn't see anything."

Erza stored the Giant Gate Sword into her changing space, walked to Hope's side, and looked at the scattered light spots in the sky with a complicated expression. "Hope, is the Wood God Dragon really dead?"

"Dead beyond dead."

Hope turned her head, a playful smile playing on her lips. "All the magic he gained through dirty tricks has now been returned to this land."

"Speaking of the story of Dragon Quest, shouldn't a princess come and throw herself into my arms at this point?"

"I'm not a princess," Erza muttered under her breath, but still gave Hope a quick hug before pulling her hand away as if she were doing something wrong.

Suddenly, Natsu jumped over and hooked his arm around Hope's shoulder: "Hope! How did you throw that punch just now? Teach me!"

"You can't learn it."

"Why!"

“Because your brain isn’t working properly,” Gray interjected from the side.

Natsu was immediately enraged and punched Gray. Anyone could say he was stupid, and the two of them immediately reenacted the scene that had happened countless times before.

Lucy sighed, rubbing her forehead. "When is Natsu finally going to stop...?"

Juvia's eyes lit up with hearts. "Go for it, Lord Grey! Try to cut his groin!"

Wendy, standing nearby: Is this something a child should be listening to...?

Hope looked at her noisy companions, a slight smile playing on her lips. Although these guys were sometimes unreliable, and often turned into complete chaos when they fought, she had to admit...

With them around, life is never boring.
