Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

The ten dragon-slaying robots stopped simultaneously.

Two quantum soldiers bent down, one on each side, and lifted up Chai Xiu, who was half-dead from being beaten, and dragged him in front of the owner of the voice.

Then, they pressed down on Chai Xiu's shoulders and made him kneel down.

With a thud.

Chai Xiu knelt before Hope.

Hope stood there, hands in his pockets, his expression as calm as if he were watching an interesting street brawl, except that Chash, who was being beaten up on one side, was not in a good mood.

Now he understood perfectly well that the quantum soldier's betrayal was definitely the work of the guy in front of him.

Chai Xiu struggled to lift his head, his collapsed nose smeared with blood, one eye swollen shut, leaving him only able to look at the smiling young man before him with the other, uttering indistinct sounds:

"Who...who exactly are you...?"

"A masked... oops, I mean, a Fairy Tail mage who's just passing by."

Hope looked down at the failed and pathetic ambitious man, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I really like your trump card. I'll accept these toys without hesitation."

Chapter 388 Gem Dragon Slayer

Chai Xiu stared intently at Hope, his pupils filled with resentment and anger. How much effort had he put into creating these Dragon Slayer Quantum Soldiers?

From the day he joined the Kingdom of Stra, he began his secret preparations.

Starstones, magic circuits, combat programs, energy cores... he personally oversaw every single one, and each machine is a masterpiece into which he poured countless efforts.

Ten Dragon Slayer Quantum Soldiers are enough to wipe out the military power of any small or medium-sized country.

But now... the quantum soldiers, like loyal hounds, are surrounding that strange young man, beating his true master half to death.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"You... what methods did you use..." Chai Xiu's voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to gasp for breath in pain.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully answer you." Hope raised her right hand, and a pale blue light shone from her fingertips.

"It's an additional spell..."

Chai Xiu finally understood. He had heard that powerful augmented mages could add all sorts of "attachments" to their targets at will, and changing the control of quantum soldiers was not a difficult task.

Hope smiled slightly, "That's right, as the mother of 'Dragon Slayer Magic,' 'Enchanted Magic' can do whatever it wants."

Chai Xiu opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head helplessly.

What could he say?

If one's skills are inferior, one concedes defeat.

No, it wasn't even a case of "accepting defeat." He didn't even have a chance to make a move before being ganged up on and beaten to the ground by his own "weapons."

This was probably the most frustrating moment of his life, a hundred times more frustrating than when he was hunted down after the failed coup in the Kingdom of Ophire.

"Alright, tell me where your accomplices are."

Hope's words surprised Chais. When did he have accomplices? Didn't he know that coups and rebellions need to be kept secret? The more people involved, the greater the risk.

Seeing Chai Xiu's bewildered expression, Hope frowned slightly.

Hope then placed her large hand on Chaish's head, activating both her mind-reading ability and her 'memory' magic.

Chai Xiu's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted violently, and his mouth opened, letting out a silent scream. His body began to tremble violently, as if he had been electrocuted; his limbs convulsed, and he foamed at the mouth.

The poverty of childhood, the struggles of adolescence, the ambitions of youth...

Chai Xiu's memories flashed through Hope's mind like a comic strip, but in the end there was no information about the mysterious man or the "Dragon's Cry" wand.

Chai Xiu, whose memories had been violently read, collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolling back, completely unconscious.

Hope pondered for a moment.

It seems that Chai Xiu was truly unaware of the situation. Perhaps the mysterious person had contacted other people through other channels, or perhaps... the mysterious person never even arrived in the Kingdom of Stella, but instead turned away on the way.

After all, the intelligence only said that the mysterious person had set sail and was heading towards the country of Stra, which did not mean that she would definitely enter the country.

This is a bit troublesome. The ocean is so vast, and there are so many places to land. The connection between the mysterious man and "Dragon's Cry" is essentially severed.

Hope shook her head. There's no use thinking about things without clues. What's meant to happen will happen, and what's not meant to happen will happen no matter how hard you try.

After storing the ten quantum soldiers into his transformation space, Hope said to Sonia, "I'm leaving Chai Xiu in your hands. Whether to kill him or imprison him is up to you."

Sonia glanced at the pile of firewood on the ground, and after a moment of silence, she made a decision: "I will sentence him to life imprisonment in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Stra."

Hope shrugged. Actually, he thought it would be better to sentence someone like Chash to death, but after he read Chash's memories and messed up his brain, Chash was already a cripple.

Having ambition but no power, keeping Chai Xiu imprisoned like this is the greatest torment for him.

Watching the soldiers escort Chai Xiu away, Hope then called Sonia to the corpse of the Gem Dragon Amnis. Although the dragon was dead, the magic within its body had not yet dissipated.

Now is the perfect time to capitalize on the momentum.

"Sonia, do you want to become a Dragon Slayer Mage?"

Hope's sudden question startled Sonia, who instinctively took a half-step back. "Mr. Hope, what are you saying? I don't have any extraordinary talent..."

"You have been parasitized by the Gem Dragon using the 'Soul Dragon Technique' for over four hundred years. Your body has long been adapted to the dragon's magic, making you the most suitable vessel to receive the Gem Dragon's power."

Hope pointed to the Gem Dragon's corpse, "This guy controlled you for over four hundred years. Now that he's dead, it's a waste to keep his power. You might as well give it to him."

"It can be considered karma; it owes you, and it's using its power to repay you."

Sonia fell silent.

She looked at the corpse of the gem dragon, staring at its unseeing, gem-like eyes, and the scene from over four hundred years ago flashed through her mind.

The village slaughtered by the dragons, the villagers devoured. And myself, tossed around like a toy by the dragons...

If she had been a Dragon Slayer Mage back then, could that tragedy have been avoided?

Although time cannot be reversed, Sonia feels that she might be able to use the power of the Gem Dragon to protect the people she wants to protect now.

Sonia took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Hope with a determined glint in her brown eyes. "Mr. Hope, please let me become a Dragon Slayer Mage."

Hope nodded without saying anything more.

'Additional Technique' activated.

The magic within the Gem Dragon's corpse was instantly stripped away, transforming into several gem-like colored orbs of light—red, blue, green, purple—which then merged into Sonia's body one after another.

Sonia closed her eyes, feeling the magic contained in those orbs of light flowing into her limbs and bones.

This feeling is wonderful.

It was as if something had taken root and sprouted within her body; her magic was growing and undergoing a qualitative change. When she opened her eyes, she had naturally mastered a form of magic.

"Dragon Slayer" magic.

Thus, the Gem Dragon Slayer Mage, who can eat gems to restore magic and stamina and extract magic from gems, was born.

Hope glanced at the darkening sky, then at the soldiers clearing away the rubble from the palace, before saying goodbye to Sonia, who was still adjusting to her newfound power, and leaving alone.

Although Chai Xiu had no connection with the mysterious man, it didn't stop him from searching for this island nation.

Okay, let's start with the red-light district.

Chapter 389 The New King

The next morning, the bells of the Kingdom of Stra rang nine times.

This is a tradition in this country: nine chimes signify the death of the king and the imminent ascension of a new king.

The square in front of the palace was packed with people. They had come from all directions, their faces showing shock, unease, and bewilderment.

Overnight, the king died, the defense minister was accused of treason, and the saintess was to take over the power transfer... The news came so suddenly that most people still haven't reacted.

A temporary platform was erected in the center of the square.

On the high platform, Sonia wore a pure white robe, her long brown hair was tied up, and she wore a simple yet luxurious silver crown.

That is the crown worn by the rulers of the Kingdom of Stra during their coronation. It has been passed down from the first king to the present day and has been preserved on this island for hundreds of years.

But apart from Hopesonia, no one knew that the girl wearing this crown now was the same body as the king who originally founded the Kingdom of Stra.

Hope stood on one side of the platform, arms crossed, watching the sea of ​​people below with great interest.

In a way, he was one of the witnesses to this coronation ceremony, and he also played a significant role in this power transition, although his "contribution" was to cut off the head of the former king.

"quiet--!"

An elderly man with white hair walked onto the platform. He was the Minister of State of the Kingdom of Stra. After learning about what had happened last night, he chose to support Sonia without hesitation.

It wasn't because Sonia was a saint, but because the Minister of State, like Chai Xiu, had discovered the strangeness of King Amnis.

The so-called "King Amnes" rarely appeared in public; all his decrees were conveyed by the saintess Sonia.

The prime minister had long suspected something was wrong, but he dared not investigate, nor could he.

Now the Minister of State has learned the whole truth: the real King Amnis is an evil dragon that has been entrenched in this country for four hundred years, and Saintess Sonia is nothing more than a puppet controlled by the dragon.

Fortunately, the dragon is dead, the saintess is free, and the rebellious defense minister has been stripped of his magic and imprisoned. It's time to get the country back on track.

"Fellow citizens!"

The prime minister's voice, amplified by a magical megaphone, resounded throughout the square: "Last night, a horrifying conspiracy unfolded in our country!"

He unfolded the parchment in his hand, his voice heavy and indignant.

"Former Defense Minister Chai Xiu colluded with an evil dragon, plotting to usurp the throne! Last night, he broke into the palace under cover of darkness and murdered His Majesty Amnes!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the square.

"What? Chai Xiu, that traitor!"

"I told you long ago that outsider was no good!"

"If you ask me, he should have died. Look at the vagrants he recruited..."

"......"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, a mixture of shock, anger, and a touch of excitement spreading through the crowd.

The prime minister raised his hand to signal for silence and continued, "Fortunately, Her Majesty received help from Lord Hope, the 'Hope Emperor,' a member of the Fairy Tail guild of the Kingdom of Fiore and one of the Ten Wizard Saints."
