Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

"That's right, that's right, just a mere fairy queen."

"Lord Zero will definitely win!"

Whether the three henchmen's sycophantic flattery satisfied Lingding was unknown, but it gave the black-robed men confidence, and they all firmly stood on Zero Emperor's side.

Erza's brow, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. What was it about this Zero Emperor that made these people so willing to follow him?

"Natsu, Gray, you two go easy on them later. Many of them are just ordinary people."

Hearing Erza's instructions, Natsu nodded heavily. Although he often caused some damage, he rarely caused ordinary people to be injured or harmed.

Heavy-handed, but knows his limits—that's Natsu.

But Gray didn't answer Erza. Instead, he walked up to her and stared intently at Zero. "It's you! Why... why did you do this!"

"So you did recognize me after all. I should have known better than to wear that mismatched helmet."

Zero removed his helmet, revealing a handsome yet indifferent face. He spoke calmly, "Long time no see. You're still as weak as ever, Gray."

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Lucy whispered, "Grey, do you know him?"

Gray said with a complicated expression, "His name is Leo, he is my... senior brother. We both became disciples of Ulu."

"You have no right to mention Ul's name!" Upon hearing Gray mention his master, Zero... or Leo, suddenly became furious and lost all composure.

Gray retorted sharply, "And what about you, Leo! Ullu sacrificed herself to seal Deliora, and you want to destroy the last thing she left behind in this world!"

"That's because Ulu is too weak!"

Leo's voice suddenly became excited, "If it were me, I wouldn't even need 'Absolute Freeze' to destroy Deliora! Surpassing Ul is my dream!"

"So you want to release Deliora and defeat it to prove you've surpassed Ullu? Give up, that's impossible!"

"Hmph, it's all because you were so reckless as to seek revenge against Deliora. Uru died trying to save you! What right do you have to lecture me!"

The two brothers argued more and more fiercely, while the people on both sides turned into onlookers, each on their own, just short of grabbing a handful of melon seeds and peanuts.

I never imagined that Gray/Leo had such a past.

boom!

Two identical streams of ice collided.

Leo maintained the shaping magic with one hand and said coldly, "I won't let you interfere with the ritual."

"Leo!" Gray made a hand gesture as if casting a spell. "I will never let you succeed! I will not allow anyone to break the seal that Ulu gave her life for!"

“Then let’s give it a try, Gray. Let me see how much you’ve improved over the years.” Gray

Almost simultaneously, two ice-shaped spells were launched from Gray and Rio respectively, rushing towards each other.

The former fellow disciples ultimately chose to fight each other.

Hope came up just in time to see this scene.

Chapter 36 Gray VS Leo

"Ice Design - Ice Spring!"

Ice erupted from beneath his feet like a fountain, but Leo showed no intention of retreating. He simply raised his hand, and a large number of ice wolves instantly materialized, tearing through the ice fountain and baring their fangs as they pounced on Gray.

Gray immediately conjured two ice swords, and several flashes of cold sword light turned the wolf pack into ice dust.

"It's not over yet!"

Gray conjured an ice bow, and countless arrows shot out like falcons.

Leon stood proudly in place, clenched his fist with one hand, and swung it out. Instantly, a giant ice ape formed from his immense magical power, which withstood the rain of ice swords without a scratch.

The two traversed through ice crystals, creating a variety of ice formations, a clash of styles between "static" and "dynamic" forms.

The ice bow fired in rapid succession, a rain of arrows shattering the falcon flock.

The giant ape roared, its powerful punch shattering the giant hammer.

An icy prison suddenly appeared, imprisoning a roaring tiger.

The wolf king pounced swiftly, its sharp teeth shattering the battle axe.

......

Gray and Leo, now in high spirits, are constantly upgrading the intensity of their respective forms.

In the end, even Gray transcended "cold weapons" and created an ice cannon, which clashed with the ice dragon created by Leo.

The situation was constantly changing, with one move after another, keeping everyone on their toes. However, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Gray was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

"Looks like I've stumbled upon a good show."

As the ice crystals exploded, Hope's figure silently passed through the group of black-robed men and arrived beside her companion.

Natsu, who was focused on watching Gray and Rio fight, scratched his head in confusion when he saw Hope suddenly appear. "Huh? Hope? So you weren't here just now."

Hope's face stiffened. "Am I really that insignificant...?"

"Who told you not to keep up with the group again?" Erza's grumbling followed immediately. In fact, like Natsu, she only realized that Hope was missing when he appeared.

Lucy, ever the understanding one, eased Hope's embarrassment by repeating the relationship between Gray and "Zero Emperor" Leo.

"Wow, Zero Emperor? That's quite a boast."

Hope's eyes held a hint of disdain as she looked at her fellow disciples locked in fierce combat and began to fan the flames: "Last time, there was a guy in the Iron Forest who called himself 'Death God,' Erigor, but he was completely outmatched by Erza and Natsu."

"Now another guy who calls himself 'Zero Emperor' has appeared. In the end, the senior brother fought the junior brother, and he couldn't even take down a mere Gray."

"Are all mages these days so clueless about choosing titles? Don't they even know their own limitations?"

Hope's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Gray, who was immediately suppressed by his senior Rio as the junior, was already in a heavy mood. He didn't expect his teammates to add fuel to the fire and put more pressure on him.

What do you mean by "just a mere Gray"...?

Am I really inferior to Natsu?!

A vein bulged on Gray's forehead, and as he gritted his teeth, the power of the magic in his hand increased.

Leo's expression turned even uglier. His ice magic surged instantly, forcing Gray back in a single exchange. He turned to look at Hope, his gaze turning icy cold.

"You arrogant fool, how dare you comment on me?"

"Let me show you why I dare to call myself 'Emperor Zero'!"

The countless ice crystals suddenly condensed into a giant flying eagle, which attacked Hope with even greater force.

However, Hope chuckled and snapped her fingers.

The wooden wall carved with the head of a Happy Cat reappeared, and a series of "crackling" sounds rang out, which were the sounds of the giant ice eagle crashing into ice shards.

Leo's pupils constricted sharply. His magic, unleashed with all his might in anger, had been so easily blocked. "Who exactly are you?!"

Hope shrugged. "Just a Fairy Tail mage who happened to be passing by."

That's not wrong. Hope was originally dragged into this mission by Erza, but when Leo heard this, it sounded like he was being looked down upon.

"You bastard, how dare you look down on me!" Leo roared in fury, and a burst of cold air erupted from him, instantly covering the ground with a thick layer of ice.

Hope didn't tolerate him, and gathered magic power in her hands.

"Leo! Our battle is not over yet!"

Gray suddenly stepped between the two sides, "And Hope, don't interfere, I will definitely defeat Leo."

Looking at Gray's determined eyes, Hope thought for a moment and decided to let it go. The conflict between the two brothers should be resolved by themselves.

Hope then decisively stepped back and casually tossed down a plant seed. Under the influence of the 'plant' magic, the seed quickly grew into a small tree, which was covered with peach-like fruits.

Here, have a peach.

Hope picked a fruit and placed it in Erza's hand, then said to Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, "These fruit seeds were given to me by one of my quest clients. You should all try them and see how they taste."

Then Hope designed a set of wooden tables and chairs, which looked like he was on a picnic.

The Greys were stunned by what they saw.

No, buddy.

I'm still fighting here, can't you show some respect...?

Forcing himself to calm down and refusing to look at his teammates who were messing with his mentality, Gray turned to Leo and said, "You should probably wake up by now."

Leo stood proudly, "My dream was to surpass Ur. Now that Ur is dead, I will destroy Deliora, whom even she couldn't defeat, to prove that I have now surpassed her!"

"No one can stop me from achieving my dream!"

Gritting his teeth, Gray realized that words alone wouldn't convince his senior.

It turns out that before you can reason with someone, you have to beat them up first.

Gray took off his shirt. "Leo! I'm here to stop you!"

Leo also took off his robes, revealing his bare torso. "Then come and try, try to stop me, Gray!"

The two clashed again in the next moment.

This time, however, the clash was much more intense than before, no longer just a dazzling exchange of magic, but also a passionate physical battle.

Looking at the two shirtless guys in the arena, Hope seemed to understand something.

The fellow students all had a penchant for taking off their clothes.

Does that mean their master, the female mage named Ulu, also likes to be naked...?

"Hope, the expression on your face is so lewd."

Happy's voice interrupted Hope's thoughts. He looked up and saw Erza, Lucy, Natsu, and Happy all looking at him with disdain.

In fact, Erza and Lucy were thinking the same thing as Hope, but they felt they shouldn't think of Ulquiorra that way, so they shifted their focus and both despised the lewd-looking Hope.

Natsu and Happy didn't know why, but since Erza and Lucy had done it, they naturally followed suit.

"Hey..."

Hope chuckled dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Who do you think will win, Gray or Leo?"
