Hope waved her hand dismissively, "What a hassle, why don't you just use 'Enchanting Spell'?"

Hades: "......"

Seeing the one-armed old man remain unresponsive, Hope's lips curled into a smile. "The mighty Hades, the most learned and versatile mage of this era, doesn't even know 'Enchanting Spells'? No way, no way?"

Hades, feeling a chill run down his spine from the sarcastic remark, immediately hardened his fist. If he knew any enchanting techniques, why would he have come all the way to the Northern Continent? He would have been invincible and enjoying himself long ago.

The old man's thoughts were completely exposed to Hope's eyes. He smiled and said, "You can't, but I can. Let's keep the good stuff in the family. Why don't you leave it to me?"

Hades looked at Hope suspiciously. Whether the kid could use 'Enchanting Spells' or not was secondary. He was very suspicious that once the 'Demon Heart' was handed over, it would never be returned.

Hades coughed lightly. "Well, Hope, ordinary enchantment spells simply cannot enchant the power of 'Demon Heart' onto a human. Only a Limit Enchantment Mage can do it."

"As far as I know, the only Limit Enhancement Mage in human history was Irene Belserion, the creator of 'Enhancement Techniques' more than 400 years ago."

Hades wanted Hope to back down.

But Hope didn't mind at all, and said casually, "Eileen, I know her. To be honest, she's my mother-in-law whom I've never met."

Hades was speechless. Although he didn't say anything, even the hobbits understood what he meant from his eyes.

Your mother-in-law? Someone from over 400 years ago?!

What a joke!

Hope offered no explanation, simply extending her hand. "Give me your 'Demon Heart,' and enjoy your retirement. I'll attach it to you when I'm done playing with it, otherwise... I'll... hehehehe..."

Hey, you head over there!

Hades' face darkened instead.

The Demon Heart is his lifeblood. He is over 110 years old now. Without the magic and life force of the Demon Heart to support him, his body would not be able to withstand any hardship. He would get tired after casting a few spells.

And where can he go to retire...?

There is nowhere in this world that can make him stay.

“I’ve resurrected Mavis,” Hope said abruptly.

Hades was stunned for a moment, then a look of disbelief and shock flashed in his eyes, but he immediately dismissed it, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's entirely possible."

Xia Lulu couldn't help but interject, "We've already met the first president. After she was resurrected, she spends all her time playing games with Wendy. She's even more like a child than Wendy."

Happy raised his hand too, "Yes! That's it!"

Riki nodded and said, "The first president loved sweets. If the president hadn't stopped her, she could have eaten sweets like they were her main meal."

Hearing the three cats' testimonies, Hades instantly believed them to be 80-90% certain, because his Mavis was indeed a playful, sweet-toothed girl with a childlike heart.

But... is it really possible to come back to life from the dead?

Hades willingly fell into darkness because the ethereal "Great Magic World" might resurrect his fallen comrades.

It turned out to be a mirage; he was merely a pawn used by the god of life and death to manipulate Zeref.

But now, the boy who first enlightened him claims he has successfully resurrected Mavis...

Wouldn't all my previous efforts have been in vain?

The thought of betraying his original intentions, turning against his brothers, and beating his disciple... only to find that he had gained a false hope of resurrecting Mavis, which was then ruthlessly shattered.

Hades lost his composure.

It's fake! It must be fake! It can only be fake!

It was a lie by this kid to steal his 'heart'!

"How's your decision?" Hope asked casually, but unintentionally he was gathering a magnetic field, turning it into a ball of blue light that he played with in his hand.

Hades immediately regained consciousness.

Touching the neat, smooth wound on his left shoulder, he sighed and resignedly said, "Since you've already done all this, what else is there to say? The 'Devil's Heart' is yours."

"My heart is a hundred kilometers away, on my hidden spaceship."

Hope nodded in satisfaction, immediately opened the 'Water Wings', brought back the huge 'Demon Heart', and also confiscated Hades's spaceship.

Hades: Why are you eating and taking things away...?

Young people these days have no manners at all!

Hope stored the "Demon Heart" into her transformation space, and the next second she unleashed a powerful attack, slamming it into Hades.

Hades closed his eyes in despair. This black-hearted brat had finally shown his true colors. He couldn't resist anymore... Well, he was a traitor to the guild after all.

What's wrong with cleaning house?

However, the death he imagined did not come. Instead, his lost left arm suddenly regained feeling. He opened his eyes and saw a brand new left arm.

"you......"

"What do you mean, 'you'? I can make your severed arm irreparable, and I can also make it grow back."

"I......"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'go talk to the First Generation' about it."

Hope changed the destination of the "Wings of Water" passage and kicked Hades, who was about to speak but couldn't, inside.

This whole thing left the three cats dumbfounded.

It turns out Hope is also a proud and arrogant person.

Chapter 325 The Battle for the Heart (Miscellaneous)

Xia Lulu stared at Hades disappearing into the blue light, and after a long while, she managed to stammer out, "Hope... just sending Hades back to see the First Generation, was it really necessary to use violence?"

Hope patted non-existent dust off his hands, his face righteous and awe-inspiring: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just respecting the elderly and caring for the young, sending the old man to where he should be."

"Then why kick it?"

"Uh...that's more ceremonial."

Just as the three cats were still processing what had just happened, a violent tremor suddenly shook the maze, and dirt fell from the walls, as if the entire underground maze was shaking.

"What's going on?!" Happy hugged the black gem tightly.

Hope squinted, his gaze piercing through layers of soil to the depths of the maze, and chuckled, "Nothing much, it's just that someone has already discovered the heart of the dragon."

Happy asked curiously, "Is it Natsu?"

Riki crossed his arms: "No, it should be Gajeel."

Xia Lulu joined the conversation: "I think it's Wendy, she's always been lucky."

“You’re right, but not entirely right.” Hope shook her finger and said mysteriously, “Let’s hurry over, or we’ll miss the show.”

After he finished speaking, he instantly lifted the three cats with his magic and placed them on his shoulders. The 'Wings of Water' unfolded, and with a flash of blue light, the four of them disappeared into the passageway.

......

......

Deep within the labyrinthine maze, the light grew increasingly dim.

Deep within the maze lies a vast domed space connecting five passageways, where a soft light illuminates a stone platform in the very center.

Erza swung her sword and shattered the core of the last mud monster blocking her path. She shook off the debris from her sword and her gaze fell on the object floating in the center of the stone platform.

That was a human heart.

Thump—thump—

With each thud, the magic emanating from the pulse causes the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

"This is... the heart of Falong?" Mirajane, who arrived at the same time, walked out from another passage and stopped in her tracks upon seeing this scene.

"Hey! You guys are here too!"

Excited voices came from the other side as Natsu and Lucy rushed out of the passage. His eyes were fixed on the heart, and he was so happy that he almost pounced on it.

Lucy, who was right behind him, grabbed his scarf. "Wait! The Earth Dragon is determined to eat Elevseria's heart, no matter what. We can't possibly succeed so easily. What if there's a trap?"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures began to emerge from the other entrances.

Mirajane floated in from the right-hand passage, followed by a panting Kana.

In the passageway directly opposite, Gray and Juvia walked out side by side. Gray was down to only his boxer shorts, clearly having completely let loose along the way.

Juvia's clothes were torn to shreds by traps and monsters in the maze, but she looked blissful. "Lord Gray, our time together is over~ But Juvia will never forget this moment."

Gray kept his distance with a blank expression. "Don't talk nonsense. We just happened to be teleported to the same place. We just fought some monsters along the way. I didn't do anything to you."

"That's so unfair!" Juvia pretended to squeeze out a few tears. "I'm such a beautiful girl, and you don't do anything to me."

The onlookers: "..."

Gajeel crashed down from above, his iron scales gleaming coldly in the fluorescent light. Levy, caught in his arms, landed and, finding everyone there, felt a little shy.

Laxus, hands in his pockets, slowly walked out of the last passage, his body crackling with lightning, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Following behind him, the soft-spoken Wendy waved happily to everyone, "Great! Everyone's safe and sound!"

"It seems everyone has arrived."

Kana brushed the dust off her hair and instinctively reached for the wine flask before remembering that Mirajane had confiscated it. "We've all found Falon's heart, but the problem is, how do we divide it? After all, there's only one heart."

"Of course, I'm the first one to arrive."

Levy looked around. "So, who found it first?"

“It has to be me!” Natsu immediately raised his hand. “My intuition led me here!”

"Come on." Gray rolled his eyes and bluntly exposed him. "I saw it. The Erza were already standing there before you."

"What nonsense are you spouting? You slanted-eye man!"

"If you're not happy, then let's fight! You single-celled organism!"

"Come on, you think you can get away with this?!"

The two men stood head to head, neither willing to yield to the other.

"You two, stop arguing." Erza stepped forward. "Falcon's heart is extremely important and should be kept by the most reliable person."
