Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

But before the opponent's bizarre magic, Hope's magic vanished instantly once again.

This time, however, Hope, who was focused, observed everything clearly.

Looking at the magical plant seeds that had fallen to the ground, he smiled slightly, "Your magic did not make my magic 'disappear,' but rather it reverted my magic to the state it was before it was activated."

"Is it time-related magic? That's really nice."

Seeing the sudden burst of greed in Hope's eyes, as if he were looking at some rare treasure, Gerut felt a chill and unease for no reason.

He subconsciously took a step back. "We've only exchanged two blows, and you've already figured out my magic type. That's terrifying observation."

"But what's the use?"

"No matter how smart you are, you'll be dead soon enough."

Jerut raised his hand above his head, and the magic circle that was instantly completed emitted a blinding light. "Yesterday Reappears, Future Light and Shadow!"

The underground space began to shake violently, and a large number of stalactites suddenly emerged from the originally flat ceiling, breaking neatly and then reappearing intact.

The ground was covered with ice, which rapidly melted into water and then suddenly froze into a dense array of sharp icicles.

Above, there is a "stone forest" that falls like a torrential rain.

Below are ice spikes that can change shape and suddenly appear at any time.

The falling stalactites and the ice cones on the ground seemed to come alive, their attack trajectories becoming cunning and unpredictable, attacking from above, below, front, and back, blocking all of Hope's escape routes.

The most troublesome problem is that these terrible spells did not originate from the present, but were summoned by Geralt from the "past" and the "future".

In other words, as long as he has enough magic power, these attacks can be repeated indefinitely.

For Geralt, however, the magical power required to maintain the magical cycle between the past and the future is just a drop in the ocean.

Having a high magic limit means you can do whatever you want.

Watching Hope dodge and weave through the dense falling rocks and icicles, Gerrit's unease finally dissipated.

Indeed, he's just a nobody; why would he feel uneasy?

"Mastering the magic of 'Wood Shaping' and 'Plant Shaping' and combining them seamlessly will surely make your future shine brightly."

"But unfortunately, meddling in other people's business is your only reason to die..."

Before Gerrit could finish speaking, Hope, who had been driven to the brink of despair, finally had nowhere to hide. A thick, long icicle pierced through his body, and a falling sharp rock broke off his arm.

A brutal execution began.

But Gerrit couldn't laugh, because "Hope," who was being executed, didn't shed a single drop of blood.

That was just a clone created through manipulation!

"Oh ho~"

"So you finally realized it?"

A mocking voice came from behind him. Geralt was startled and clenched his fists. A burst of magical energy from the future surged backward.

Amid the explosion, he heard a sound like the air being torn apart.

A fist loomed infinitely large in his vision.

The powerful force of the punch seemed to tear the air apart. How could he possibly withstand such power? With no time to do anything, Gerut could only take the punch squarely on his face.

boom!

His body slammed heavily against the stone wall, and the intense dizziness made it impossible for Geralt to maintain his magic. He slowly slumped to the ground against the stone wall.

"As expected, your magic cannot be applied to the human body."

Hope withdrew his fist. Before the opponent could summon magic from the past and future, he had already replaced himself with a wooden clone and left the scene at the speed of light using "Divine Speed".

Jerut felt half of his face swell up as he glared at Hope with resentment. How could he forget that this guy was a Fairy Tail mage, and close-quarters combat was the guild's signature style?

Really careless.

Although he is not good at close combat, he still has a chance to turn the tide, as his magic can be activated instantly.

However, in the next instant, Hope's fist precisely shattered Gerrit's unfinished magic circle and grabbed his hand.

"Hehe, Gerrit, let's give each other a hug!"

Hope forcibly lifted Gerrit into the air, and while Gerrit's feet were off the ground, she slipped behind him, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and then exerted a strong force.

A sharp pain struck, and Gerut felt as if his waist was about to be broken by those huge hands.

"what--!"

A woman's scream echoed through the underground space.

Hope, who was about to complete the final step of the classic anime move "Embracing the Girl in My Arms," ​​suddenly froze. Where did that female voice come from? But the strength in his hands did not weaken at all.

Hope is actually a petty person. The magic the other party just used was clearly meant to kill him, so he's definitely going to retaliate fiercely now.

Suddenly, Hope felt the person in her arms begin to change. His hair grew longer, his short body became taller, and his cloak turned into a white robe.

The most striking feature is that two peaks suddenly bulge out from his otherwise unremarkable chest.

It's actually a woman?!

Looking at "Jerut," who was slumped in her arms and still wearing a mask, Hope was filled with questions.

This time, the "hug-a-girl kill" has landed him a real girl, albeit a bad one.

Seeing the wicked woman faint, Hope put her down and reached out to remove her mask. But the next moment, the woman suddenly vanished in front of him as specks of light.

"Hope, I'll remember you."

"The grudge we humiliate today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

The wicked woman's voice came from outside; she seemed to have already fled far away.

Hope was unimpressed and had no interest in pursuing the matter. He had already gotten the benefits, and who knew who would retaliate next?

【ding~】

[The host has come into contact with extraordinary power—the lost magic 'Arc of Time']

[Analysis complete – estimated time required to decipher the 'arc of time' is 51 days]

Following the system's prompt, Hope spread her wings and flew magically to the hole above Deliora's head.

Chapter 35 Brothers

The top of the temple mountain.

Gray rushed out of the cave first, and the sight before him made him gasp.

The mountaintop had been transformed into a huge circular platform, the ground of which was covered with glowing magical runes. Dozens of people dressed in black robes were sitting around the edge of a magic circle, maintaining its operation.

"So it was you guys who pulled this trick? You bastards who wanted to free Deliora!"

Natsu followed closely behind with a roar, his fist bursting into flames.

Gray's gaze, however, was fixed on the figure opposite the magic circle—a tall man wearing a white cloak and a helmet.

"Lord Zero! There's an intruder!"

When Erza and Lucy arrived, the men in black robes had already drawn their weapons and were watching them warily. The "Zero Emperor" they were referring to was the man wearing a helmet.

Lucy glanced around and saw that there were at least thirty people on the other side. Apart from the gang leader who looked very powerful and three minor leaders, the rest were all black-robed men carrying sharp weapons.

On their side, there were only four vibrant young men and women, plus an adorable little blue cat.

I feel like my side is incredibly strong.

This is the confidence that Erza gave Lucy.

Last time, this lineup of theirs easily wiped out the Iron Forest.

Erza, unaware of Lucy's ulterior motives, stepped forward, ignoring the men in black robes, and stared sharply at Zero, "So you're the mastermind behind unsealing Deliora? We're here to end all of this."

"Finish?"

Zero Emperor snorted coldly, as if he had heard a lame joke, "You lot? Before you talk big, you should look in the mirror and see what kind of people you are."

"Lord Zero, they seem to be mages from 'Fairy Tail'..." a man in black robes whispered.

"Hmph! So what if it's Fairy Tail?"

"That's right, Lord Zero is invincible!"

"These guys definitely can't beat Lord Zero!"

Before the man in black could finish speaking, he was met with a barrage of rebuttals from the three underlings. But he still meekly continued, "But that red-haired person... is Erza, the S-rank mage of Fairy Tail, the Fairy Queen."

The three underlings fell silent. They were all from the magic world, so how could they not have heard of the "Fairy Queen" who had risen to fame in the last two years?

They had great confidence in Lord Zero's strength.

But the "Fairy Queen" on the other side seems a bit more powerful...

The silence of the three minor leaders caused the other men in black robes to whisper among themselves.

"What should we do? The opponent is an S-class mage."

"If we tell the truth honestly, will she let us go?"

"I feel like we can't win, should we just surrender?"

"Actually, I'm also a fan of Her Majesty the Queen. I wonder if I could get her autograph later..."

"Oh, good taste."

"No, no, Miss Mirajane is the best."

"..."

The people in black robes didn't speak loudly, but in the already quiet mountaintop, everyone could still hear them quite clearly.

Erza frowned. The group opposite her gave her the feeling of being a makeshift operation, with ordinary people making up the majority of the black-robed figures.

But they clearly knew that inside that block of ice was a great demon that had killed countless people.

However, Zero Emperor, on the other end, was somewhat angered by these comments. "Hmph, I'm the one who's going to defeat Deliora, how could I possibly be defeated by a mere S-class mage!"

"As expected of Lord Zero Emperor!"
