Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Hope, however, didn't seem to care and even took two steps forward.

"Amnis."

His gaze was sharp as a knife, his eyes full of mockery. "You're just a piece of trash dragon hiding in a human body, barely clinging to life."

"presumptuous--!!"

A furious roar erupted from the throne, shaking the entire hall. But it wasn't a human voice; it sounded more like the roar of some colossal creature.

Faced with such power, Hope didn't even flinch.

He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

Light magic erupted instantly, and dazzling white light surged forth like a tide, illuminating every corner of the throne room in minute detail.

Those shadows that had been deliberately created for countless years were torn to shreds at this moment.

Ancient murals were carved on the dome, dark gemstones were inlaid on the stone pillars, and dark red carpets were laid on the ground... and on the throne, the "King Amnis" finally revealed his true face.

Long brown hair, a white robe, and a delicate face bearing a trace of lingering anger and... panic.

The person on the throne was none other than Saintess Sonia.

She sat on the throne, her hands gripping the armrests tightly, her knuckles white. Her face, which should have been gentle and melancholic, now bore a狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expression completely unlike that of a young girl.

Hope looked at this scene without any surprise on her face, but instead showed an expression of "I knew it".

Sonia, or rather, Amnis, who had taken over Sonia's body, stared intently at Hope, her expression shifting several times.

Finally, the anger subsided, replaced by a series of low laughs.

"Heh...hehe...hahahahaha!"

The laughter came from the girl's throat, but it was a male voice; Amnis's voice emanated from Sonia's body, and a golden glint flashed in her brown eyes.

"How interesting, you human are much smarter than I thought."

Chapter 384 The Girl and the Dragon

"Soul Dragon Technique".

The dragon's body is transformed into a magical form, which then parasitizes a human body, thus prolonging the dragon race's life.

Humans parasitized will not suffer any harm, but if the parasitized dragon has ulterior motives, they will only become walking corpses controlled by the dragon.

One body, two "people".

The truth about the Kingdom of Stra is just this absurd.

Saintess Sonia is responsible for appearing in public during the day to maintain the normal operation of the kingdom.

Unaware of the truth, she believed herself to be the saint of the country and that a "poor" king needed her to convey his decrees.

Meanwhile, King Amnis lurks in the shadows, ready to take over Sonia's body at any time with the "Soul Dragon Technique" and issue his true commands.

This is why the interior of the royal palace is always dark and gloomy.

Because the light is so strong, people will realize that the so-called "king" and "saint" never appeared at the same time.

This is why Sonia holds such a special position but has no real power, because she is Amnis's most important vessel and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

"You think you've seen through everything?"

Amnis's voice came from Sonia's body, laughing, "Then do you know why I kept the starstone mine?"

"It was prepared for yourself, wasn't it?"

Hope's nonchalant response brought Amnis's laughter to an abrupt halt.

"When you are no longer able to accumulate power within Sonia's body through the 'Soul Dragon Technique,' you will dispel the spell and then absorb the magic power stored up by the Starstone Mine over countless years to continue increasing your power."

Hope spoke calmly, as if she were reading an instruction manual.

With his mind-reading ability, Amnis's every thought was exposed.

Another moment of silence followed.

Then, a loud laugh burst from Sonia's throat.

"Hahahahaha—!"

The laughter shook the entire hall, and something seemed to be breaking free from the girl's body as it heaved violently.

“Not bad! Not bad!” Amnis’s voice was filled with a wild, exhilarating joy. “You human are indeed quite interesting! But unfortunately… you are just a mere human!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire throne room was filled with a terrifying surge of magical energy.

"You know too much."

"So... just die!"

boom--!

A visible magical storm erupted from Sonia's body, sweeping outwards in all directions. The ground cracked, stone pillars collapsed, and rubble rained down from the dome.

Hope stood still, looking at the girl on the throne who exuded powerful magic, and simply raised his right hand.

"Separate attachment".

There were no elaborate magic circles, no lengthy incantations.

It was just a soft, understated whisper.

The next second, Amnis felt a dizzying sensation, and the aura emanating from Sonia suddenly diminished as an invisible force was forcibly pulled out of her body.

A blurry, pale blue light was churning violently in the air, gradually solidifying, expanding, and taking shape...

Rumble—!

The entire palace trembled amidst the deafening roar.

A colossal dragon appeared out of thin air in the throne room, its massive body instantly bursting through the dome, sending rubble raining down.

It was a giant dragon whose entire body was inlaid with jewels.

Gem Dragon Amnis.

The true form appears.

Forced to reveal his true form, Amnis's two enormous dragon eyes burned with furious flames, and the dragon opened its massive jaws, letting out a deafening roar.

"Damn humans—!!"

"How dare you interrupt my 'Soul Dragon Technique'!!"

Why are you yelling so loudly!

Hope interrupted the gem dragon with a look of disgust, "This world isn't about who shouts the loudest; it's about strength, you idiot!"

Upon seeing Amnis's true form, Hope understood why he wanted to establish a nation on this island with its vast amount of starstones.

The Gem Dragon's ability allows it to absorb the magic contained in various stones without hindrance, thereby increasing its power.

The forced cancellation of the "Soul Dragon Technique" also restored Sonia's consciousness. Looking at the giant dragon that had appeared in the hall, she suddenly remembered something.

A flood of memories came rushing back.

More than four hundred years ago.

A small village nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

She was the most lively child in the village. She loved chasing butterflies, climbing trees to pick fruit, and listening to her grandmother tell stories in the sunset.

That day, the sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't the sun setting, but the dragon descending.

Several evil dragons descended from the sky, spewing flames and poisonous mist, razing the village to the ground.

She witnessed her grandmother being trampled into a bloody pulp by a dragon's claw, her father being engulfed in flames, and her mother being bitten in two while protecting her as they fled...

She ran desperately, into the woods, into the caves, until her shoes fell off, until her feet were covered in blood...

But he was still caught.

But the dragons did not kill her immediately.

They treated her like a toy, tossing her around with their paws and whipping her with their tails, taking pleasure in her screams. But how could a five- or six-year-old girl endure such torment?

Soon, her consciousness began to fade, the world before her eyes became blurry, and she gradually lost the ability to feel pain.

Just then, a black figure descended from the sky.

He was a man wearing a black robe and with long, dark purple hair; he was a Dragon Slayer Mage.

The Dragon Slayer slays the arrogant dragons with ease, finally arriving before her and looking down at the little girl covered in blood and on the verge of death.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

The Dragon Slayer crouched down, reached out, and gently touched her head. His voice was low, as if he were talking to himself, "I can't save you, but I can avenge you."

After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.

Sonia's consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

She thought she was going to die.

But she didn't.

The powerful dragon slayer was unaware that a dragon was not truly dead.

It was a dragon covered in jewels. Dragging its broken body, it crawled to Sonia and, with its last breath, asked, "Do you want to live?"

The girl could no longer speak, but nodded subconsciously.

Then, the dragon used the "Soul Dragon Technique" to merge its fragmented soul into her body.

The man and the dragon survived.

This life lasted for over four hundred years.

For over four hundred years, Sonia's memories have been sealed by Amnis. She is unaware of her past, let alone the dragon hidden within her.

All she knew was that she had to obey Lord Amnis's orders. And now, with Amnis forced out of her body, her memories have returned.
