Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"If that's not him, please teach that bastard who impersonated my disciple and trampled on his will a lesson for me."

"You still want me to bring Athena back to you, right?" Hope interrupted, the old man was too long-winded, so he simply used mind reading.

Eresheria did not deny that Athena, though a humanoid weapon created by alchemy, was in a sense his "granddaughter."

When the unfilial son who was raised by his son passes away first, he naturally has to pay more attention to his granddaughter who is out having a good time.

After all, they were the last members of the Demon Array Dragon...

Hope understood Elevseria's feelings. If Makarov were here, he would have already killed the Golden Owl. "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Athena back to you intact, but as for the reward..."

Elevseria was somewhat embarrassed; apart from a dilapidated castle, he seemed to have nothing of substance to offer.

Hope smiled slightly, "Actually, I've already received the payment this time."

Erevseria was completely bewildered. Had he produced anything?

Hope offered no explanation, but simply flipped his hand, and a magical power that was all too familiar to Eleveselia appeared in his palm—it was—

"The Law of Dragon Slayers!"

How could Hope possibly let go of a magic spell that could gather intelligence from all over the world?

Chapter 339 The Thief

Elevseria stared wide-eyed at the magical fluctuations flowing in Hope's hand.

"You...when did you...?"

"Actually, I can copy other people's magic."

Hope frankly said, "'Dragon Slayer of Law' can hear all kinds of gossip from around the world, and I'm a pretty curious person, so I just grabbed it."

Erevseria's mouth twitched.

smoothly?

He casually learned the magic he had studied for most of his life?

Is there any justice in this world?

And don't use my magic to eavesdrop on gossip!

But then Eresheria thought about it again. This young man dared to confront even the black dragon Acnologia head-on, so it didn't seem like such an unacceptable thing for him to learn her magic.

The old man took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Never mind, I'm already this old, it's good that this magic has a successor."

In fact, among the many Dragon Slayer Mages, Elevseria is an extremely special existence because his Dragon Slayer Magic does not come from dragons, does not rely on Dragon Slayer Crystals, and has never eaten dragon meat.

Elevseria's "Dragon Slayer of Law" was self-taught from ancient texts.

Such a feat is unique to him throughout history.

But being unique also means being difficult to replicate.

Now that someone can ensure the continuation of this magic, Elevseria can finally put her mind at ease.

Hope patted the old man on the shoulder. "I've received the reward. Athena will definitely bring it back to you. If you have nothing else to do, I'm going to have some fun."

Erevseria watched Hope's departing figure with a complicated expression, murmuring softly, "Barbaroa, if you are really still alive... I hope you don't go astray."

......

......

The sunny beach was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Wendy, dressed in a cute swimsuit, splashed in the shallow water. Lucy and Levy spread a blanket on the beach, sunbathing and chatting about girly topics.

Acnologia, who had been forcibly brought here dressed in beach clothes, had a sour face and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

When Hope arrived, she saw Erza taking on three opponents in beach volleyball, defeating Gray, Juvia, and Mira one by one, while her temporary partner, Naz, couldn't even touch the ball.

Kana was lying on the beach chair when she suddenly remembered something and called out to Hope on the sidelines, "I forgot to take the sunscreen I left at the guesthouse, go get it for me! And also bring me a bottle of wine."

Hope was just about to enjoy the chilled juice Mirajane had brought him when he heard this and sighed helplessly, "Is this the price of having three girlfriends? A gofer who's always at your beck and call."

To everyone's surprise, Kana smiled slightly, reached behind her back and gently tugged on the swimsuit drawstring, revealing her smooth back to Hope. She giggled, "Wait until you get back and help me apply sunscreen~"

Is this how you test cadres?

That old SP can withstand such a test!

Cana usually dresses provocatively, often exposing large sections of her back, but since she rarely seduced him, Hope naturally agreed with great delight.

There's a saying that goes, "Sex is the number one driving force for men."

Seeing Hoona's lecherous expression, which was no less than that of Taurus Talos, Mirajane reached out and rubbed his face. "I forgot to bring the watermelon we prepared. Let's go back together, and you can help me with the chores."

Hope didn't use teleportation magic, and the two of them walked back along the beach.

The sea breeze gently caressed Mirajane's hair. She looked at Hope and smiled, "I really didn't expect that just over half a year ago you were someone who couldn't even use magic against ordinary people, but now you're a big shot who can kill a dragon with a single punch."

"I can't even catch up with your back now."

Hope hooked her arm around her shoulder and teased, "Is this still my gentle Mirajane? Saying things like that, are you Erza or Laxus using transformation magic?"

"Tch, I also wish I could be stronger."

"Haha, no matter how the strength changes, I will always love you."

"You said that to Erza and Cana too, didn't you?"

"Hey..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the two returned to the neighborhood where their guesthouse was located.

This is a three-story building with a yard, which Melkkobia has booked entirely for the Fairy Tail crew to rest in, so they don't have to visit his underwater palace when they have nothing to do.

As Hope pushed open the courtyard gate, he suddenly frowned.

The door lock showed signs of being slightly pried open.

He raised his hand to signal Miran to be quiet, and gently pushed open the door.

The living room on the first floor was a mess, not caused by a fight, but by signs that it had been ransacked. Drawers were pulled open, sofa cushions were overturned, and even the decorative paintings on the walls had been removed.

Is there a thief?

Hope's eyes turned cold as she cast 'Silence' and 'Invisibility' spells on herself and Mirajane, and the two silently went upstairs.

A rustling sound came from Natsu's room at the end of the second-floor corridor.

Hope approached the door and peered through the crack. A furtive figure was rummaging through drawers and cabinets. It was a man wearing an earring and with the character "破" (broken) tattooed on his left cheek.

He muttered to himself while his hands moved quickly, casually tossing aside the things he had found, clearly looking for some specific item.

"Where is it? Where is it? Where is it...."

"Where did those mages hide the core of the Earth Dragon...? It's impossible that it wasn't there..."

Hope and Mirajane outside the door exchanged a sharp look.

This guy's target wasn't money, but rather the 72 black gems containing the magic of the Earth God Dragon, Dracula Magma. However, Hope had already destroyed most of those gems, and the rest collapsed completely with the Earth God Dragon's death.

Logically speaking, besides them, only a few other dragons should know the core of the Earth Dragon God.

Where did this thief get this information from? It seems the other party is unaware that the Earth Dragon's core has been completely destroyed.

Hope's eyes were amused. He thought the matter of the Earth Dragon was over, but he didn't expect that someone was still thinking about it.

"I can't find it!" The thief tugged at his hair. "Didn't those mages get any loot after they defeated the Earth Dragon?"

"What are you looking for? Do you need help?"

The thief froze, mechanically turning his head. Seeing Hope's ambiguous smile, his pupils dilated instantly. "You you you you—!"

He could barely speak, but his movements were fluid and efficient; the man turned and ran towards the window.

Mirajane, using "Ability Reception: Soul of Sera," reached out and made a grasping motion. The air in the room seemed to freeze, and the thief, still in his jumping posture, was frozen in place, unable to move.

Command spells are really useful!

Hope strolled leisurely up to the thief, circling the comically dressed man once. "Mr. Thief, do you know how many years you get for trespassing? If you don't, I can tell you... it's the death penalty!"

Mirajane was the first to break down, "What country's law is this? They don't give thieves the death penalty..."

“Yes, yes,” the thief chimed in. “I’m warning you, I’m the alchemist of the ‘Golden Owl’! If you know what’s good for you, you’d better dispel the spell and let me go!”

Upon hearing this, Hope's eyes lit up immediately.

Before he even set off, the people from Golden Owl had already delivered themselves to his doorstep.

It's like having a pillow when you're sleepy.

Chapter 340 Alchemical Illusion

"The people from the Golden Owl?"

Hopla pulled up a chair, crossed his legs, and said, "That's quite a rare guest. Isn't your guild one of the three major powers in Giltina? How come you're doing such underhanded things?"

Although the thief was immobilized by Mirajane's 'Command Spell,' he remained defiant: "Hmph! What do you mages know? The core of the Earth Dragon should rightfully belong to us alchemists! It's an excellent alchemical material!"

"Nonsense! You're an alchemist, so you should give it to me!"

Hope curled her lip in disdain.

Mirajane covered her mouth and chuckled: "It seems our thief doesn't know that the Earth Dragon is completely dead, with nothing left."

The thief froze, his expression shifting from disbelief to terror. "Impossible! Even that old geezer, the Demon Array Dragon, couldn't kill someone of the Earth God Dragon's caliber! How could this be..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something and his eyes widened. "Could it be that among you foreign mages, there are those who are even more powerful than that old man?!"

"That's right, it is I."

Hope snapped her fingers. "Too bad there's no prize."

The thief's face turned deathly pale instantly.

If he had previously harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking he had only been captured by two ordinary mages, now he had only one thought in his mind.

Oh no, we've messed up.

Hope stood up and walked up to the thief. "Don't be nervous. I'm not interested in your life. But since you've come to me, I have a few questions for you."
